Spindle lengths in Arabidopsis WT and ask1-1 male meiosis
| Length | Length Difference | |
|---|---|---|
| μm | ||
| WT | L1 7.0 ± 0.1a (n = 45) | – |
| L2 9.7 ± 0.1b (n = 26) | L2 − L1 = 2.7 | |
| L3 8.3 ± 0.1c (n = 16) | L3 − L1 = 1.3 | |
| ask1-1 | L1 7.0 ± 0.1d (n = 12) | – |
| L2 8.4 ± 0.1e (n = 23) | L2 − L1 = 1.4 | |
| L3 9.8 ± 0.1e (n = 25) | L3 − L2 = 1.4 | |
| L4 11.8 ± 0.1e (n = 11) | L4 − L3 = 2.0 | |
| L5 4.9f (n = 1) | L6 − L5 = 0.7 | |
| L6 5.6 ± 0.1f (n = 5) | L1 − L6 = 1.4 | |
Data are presented as means ± SEM, except for L5 of ask1-1. (n = no. of spindles measured). When similar spindle lengths were observed for meiosis I and II, the means were calculated with values from meiosis I and II.
a
WT metaphase I and II.
b
WT anaphase I.
c
WT anaphase II.
d
ask1-1 metaphase I and meiosis II.
e
ask1-1 anaphase I and meiosis II.
f
ask1-1 meiosis II.
