Options
- Apectocellulose
- Bcallose
- Ccellulose

Tetrad is a group of four haploid and immature pollen grains in tetrahedral fashion produced by meiotic microsporogenesis. The tetrads are of five types namely tetrahedral (most common), isobilateral, shaped, decussate and linera. In dicots, the most common type of pollen tetrad is tetrahedral.
