TDM1 Deficiency Suppresses Premature Exit after Meiosis I Caused by tam-2 Null Allele.

(A) Pollen viability determined by Alexander staining of anthers. Viable pollen in wild-type and tam-2 plants is stained in red. No viable pollen is detected in tdm1 and tam-2 tdm1 mutants.

(B) to (I) Meiosis in tam-2 tdm1 mutants. Spindle is shown in green and DNA counterstained with DAPI in red. Metaphase I (B), anaphase I (C), interkinesis (D), metaphase II (E), anaphase II (F), telophase II (G), metaphase/anaphase III (H), and polyads (I). Bar = 5 μm.
