Investigation of 14 pollen tubes showed that 70percent of the generative cells were divided by a cell plate, while the other, 30 percentshowed a cleavage furrow which occurred at the position where a cell plate should takeplace. The cell plate appeared at First as a subunit in late anaphase, which was assembledin the midzone of the phragmoplast and coalesced as one large continued unit in telophase.On the other hand, just in anaphase, as two identical chromosome masses were segregatedfrom each other, the plasma membrane of the generative cell were furrowing inside fromthe tWo sides in the interzonal region. In some instances, the cell was almost divided intotwo parts by the constriction furrow.
