Pinus pollen grains, normally developing, were subjected to centrifugal force, low temperature and caffeine solution. In the former two treatment, daughter cells with some abnormal directions of division, abnormal volume and chromatin dispersion were induced in pollen grains treated. Regardless of the direction of division, of the two daughter cells produced by the unequal division, the larger one contained strongly dispersed chromatin and the smaller one weakly dispersed chromatin. In the two daughter cells produced by approximately equal division, the chromatin was dispersed strongly to a similar degree, and by halfway unequal division, chromatin in the larger cell was dispersed strongly and in the smaller one intermediately. Chromatin in bi-nucleate cells induced by caffeine treatment was dispersed strongly to an identical degree. It is suggested that for the occurrence of heteronomous chromatin configuration in natural pollen grains the unequal cell division was indispensable, although the axis of division didn''t directly contribute. After both the treatments of centrifugation and low temperature during microspore and embryonal cell divisions, the affected daughter cells divided in terms of the certain fixed axis of division and chromatin dispersion, instead of exhibiting abnormal development.
