e0“The activation of autophagy may accompany the formation of tetrads of microspores (C. bursa-pastoris), the functioning and degradation of the tapetum (H. sieboldiana), as well as the formation of tetrads and the final degradation of the tapetum (T. virginiana).”

- Association Microsporogenesis coincided with autophagy activation in the studied species.
- Mechanism Autophagy was involved in functioning and degradation of the tapetum.
- Association Autophagy may accompany microspore tetrad formation in C. bursa-pastoris.
- Association Autophagy may accompany tapetum functioning and degradation in H. sieboldiana.
- Observation Tapetum development and degradation in studied monocots showed more intense autophagy than the dicot.
