Seeds from siliques of wild-type and +/duo3-1 plants hemizygous for ProDUO1:DUO3-GFP were cleared and the developmental stage of each embryo determined. The stage of the silique was determined based on the morphology of the majority of the embyros. Embryos from two inflorescences from three independent lines were analyzed for both wild-type and +/duo3-1 plants and the data combined. Wild-type embryos progress from preglobular to bent torpedo stage (italics), while some embryos from +/duo3-1 plants are delayed in development (bold).
