What does the anther do in plant? The anther is the site for synthesis of pollen, the male sex organ  in a flower.   The pollen grains are transferred from the anther of a male plant  to the stigma of a …female plant. Thus fertilization takes course. Nate Jados.

The female reproductive part is called the pistil and is comprised of the stigma, style, and ovary. The male reproductive part of a flower is referred to as the stamen and consists of the filament and the anther.

A transverse section of the anther reveals four areas of tissue capable of producing spores. These tissues are composed of microsporocytes, which are diploid cells capable of undergoing meiosis to form a tetrad (four joined cells) of haploid microspores.

Function of the Stamen. The main function of the stamen is to produce the pollen grains, which house male gametes, or sex cells, necessary for reproduction. The anther is located within the stamen where these gametes are created. Pollen grains vary in size, shape, and surface structures based on the type of flower that produces them. Most pollen grains are round or oblong and are very tiny. They range from between 15-200 micrometers.

The stamen is the part of a flower that produces pollen. The anther, which is supported by a filament, is the part of the stamen where the pollen is produced.

...numerous microspores (potential pollen grains); the pistil bears ovules, each enclosing an egg cell. When a microspore germinates, it is known as a pollen grain. When the pollen sacs in a stamen’s anther are ripe, the anther releases them and the pollen is shed.

Stamens (microsporophylls) are structures that produce pollen in terminal saclike structures (microsporangia) called anthers. The number of stamens comprised by the androecium is sometimes the same as the number of petals, but often the stamens are more numerous or fewer in number than the petals. There are generally two pairs of spore-containing sacs (microsporangia) in a young stamen; during...

The male parts of a flower consist of one or more stamens. Each stamen is made up of paired anthers (sacs containing pollen) on a filament or stalk. The anthers are the orange/yellow structures often seen in the centre of a flower.

The stamen of a flowering plant is the part of the plant that contains a slim filament that supports the anther. The anther is an oval-shaped structure that a flowering plant must have to reproduce. When the anther has produced enough pollen, the pollen moves into small sacs that pop open to spread the pollen around, making it able to create new plants. The flower produces pollen in a process known as meiosis. Meiosis results in the production of four daughter cells in two cell divisions.

In most orchids the anther is a caplike structure at the apex of the column. The anther of some of the more primitive orchids is superficially similar to that of a lily or amaryllis. In Habenaria and its allies the anther projects beyond the apex of the column but is thoroughly attached.
