Morphometric characterization is an important element in the study of dynamic cellular behavior in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stimuli. The aim of study was to determine the morphometric parameters of meiocytes and pollen grains in different phases of microsporogenesis in fertile and induced androsterility sunflower plants. Thus, the comparative morphometric analysis revealed the gametocidal effect of gibberellin that is manifested as abnormal changes in shape and volume of cells. These modifications lead to deficiencies in the integrity/rigidity and, respectively, in the functionality of the cell wall, as well as in the physical properties of the protoplasm. The low values of morphometric parameters were also correlated with the degree of sterility of pollen grains.
