Figure 3From: The mature anther-preferentially expressed genes are associated with pollen fertility, pollen germination and anther dehiscence in rice Expression patterns of OsSTA genes in rice male reproductive process. Color bar at the base represents log2 expression values: green, representing low expression; black, medium expression; red, high expression. An1: Anther in hypodermal archesporial cells forming stage; Mei1: Anther in pollen mother cells at pre-meiotic S/G2 stage; M1: Anther in pollen mother cells at meiotic leptotene stage; M2: Anther in pollen mother cells at meiotic zygotene-pachytene stage; M3: Anther in pollen mother cells at meiotic diplotene-tetrad stage; P1: Anther in uni-nucleated gametopyte stage; P2: Anther in bi-cellular gametopyte stage; P3: Anther in tri-cellular mature pollen stage.Back to article page
