Fig. 5. Cell identities in bicellular msi1 pollen. (A-F)
Wild-type Arabidopsis pollen at the tricellular stage. (G-L)
Bicellular and tricellular pollen segregating from msi1/+ plants.
(A,G) Fluorescence images of pollen grains stained with DAPI. (B,H) The same
pollen grains as in A,G, respectively, expressing the vegetative cell marker
AC26-Histone2B-mRFP1. (C,I) Pollen grains expressing the generative lineage
marker pDUO1-DUO1-mRFP1. (D,J) Pollen grains expressing the generative lineage
marker E1-GFP. (E,K) Pollen grains expressing the sperm cell marker
HTR10-mRFP1. (F,L) Pollen grains expressing the sperm cell marker ATGEX1-GFP.
GFP was examined using the 488 nm excitation line of an argon laser and an
emission filter long pass of 510 nm. Fluorescence of mRFP1 was examined using
the 543 nm excitation line of a HeNe laser and an emission filter of 585-615
nm. Scale bars: 10 µm.
