Figure 5: Meiosis of R. tenuis.
From: Chiasmatic and achiasmatic inverted meiosis of plants with holocentric chromosomes
DAPI Images representing different stages of meiosis. (a) Zygotene showing end-to-end association of chromosomes carrying the CMA+ bands (yellow). (b) Zygotene showing unpaired 5S rDNA sites (in red). (c) Diplotene/diakinesis with four univalents. (d) Metaphase I with univalents organized in a cross-like shape. (e) Lateral view of anaphase I. (f) Prophase II. The inset shows the highlighted chromatids with adjusted brightness and contrast to enhance visibility of chromatin threads. (g) Metaphase II. (h) Late anaphase II. (i) Quantification of chromosome mis-segregation in meiosis I and II (n=107 and 80 cells, respectively). Size bar corresponds to 10 μm.
