Ubisch bodies are present in

  • pollen tube

  • pollen grain

  • microspore

  • tapetum


D.

tapetum

Tapetum is the innermost layer of another wall which surrounds the sporogenous tissue. These cells are nutritive in function. also, ubisch bodies are present that helps in the formation of microspore wall or exine of pollen grains.

Pollen grain (microspore) is a round haploid structure from which gametophyte is developed.

Pollen tube helps in carrying male gametes to female gametes for fertilisation.
