Transmission electron micrographs of late intine formation in bcmf2 transgenic Chinese cabbage. (A) Mature intine outside of the germinal furrow region of a bcmf2 transgenic plant showing a homonymous granular exintine layer facing the exterior predominantly occupying the intine. (B) Mature intine outside of the germinal furrow region of empty vector-transformed plants showing more microfibrillar endintine facing the interior predominantly occupting the intine. (C) Mature intine inside of the germinal furrow region of a bcmf2 transgenic plant had a larger granular exintine layer and a small microfibrillar endintine layer. (D) Mature intine inside of the germinal furrow region of empty vector-transformed plants showed an apparent large proportion of the internal microfibrillar endintine and a small proportion of the external granular exintine. Ba, bacula; End, endintine; Ex, exintine; Fl, foot layer; In, intine; Ne, nexine; Tr, trythine.
