Abstract
A male-sterile mutant, mei-1, of Arabidopsis thaliana is described. In this mutant, instead of a tetrad of four microspores being formed aft er meiosis, a ''tetrad'' consisting of from five to eight microspores is formed. The microspores show a wide range of sizes and of DNA conte nts. The mutant is female-fertile. This mutant was produced by seed tr ansformation with Agrobacterium and appears to be T-DNA tagged.
