Question

How to identify pinus male cone and pinus female cone under microscope?

Answer 1

Answer:

Female pine cones hold the seeds whereas male pine cones contain the pollen. Most conifers, or cone-bearing trees, have female and male pine cones on the same tree. A female pine cone, also called a megasporangiate strobilus, consists of cone or seed scales that hold two ovules, the unfertilized seeds.

Answer 2

male pine cones have close-knit "scales," that hold pollen sacks, the pollen acting as air-borne "sperm;" female pine cones have looser scales and lie lower on a tree to make pollination easier.
