generative nucleus

generative nucleus
In many flowering plants, shed pollen is two-celled (in others it is three-celled or has a variable number). Before pollen is shed, the male gametophyte divides mitotically to give a generative and a vegetative nucleus. The former is the progenitor of the sperm cells.
