AF DAPI-stained meiotic chromosome spreads from Col/Ler male meiocytes in wild type (A, B) and zyp1 HEI10oe (CF). A, C, E Metaphase I. B, D, F Metaphase II. C, D Normal chromosome configurations in zyp1 HEI10oe. E, F Rare abnormal chromosome configurations in zyp1 HEI10oe. Scale bar = 10 µm. G, H Representative cleared fruits of wild type Col and zyp1 HEI10oe mutants. I Corresponding quantification of fertility. Each dot represents the fertility of an individual plant, measured as the number of seeds per fruits averaged on ten fruits. The red bar shows the mean. All plants were siblings grown together in a growth chamber. The number n of analyzed plants is indicated and P values are one-way ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD test. J The percentage of aneuploid samples detected in each population (Supplementary Figs. 9 and 10). The proportion of aneuploid samples in each population is shown on top of the bars. Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
