Figure 1. — Embryo isolation from developing seeds of Arabidopsis. A, Nomarski image of ovule at fertilization showing two incisions (C1 and C2) made with forceps to detach the micropylar tube (MT; A, top). Isolated MT with the embryo inside is gently manipulated with forceps in the direction shown (arrow) to release the embryo (A, bottom). B, Nomarski images of dissected Arabidopsis embryos (B1–B11). Elongated zygote (B1); one-cell (B2); two-cell (B3); quadrant (B4); octant (B5); dermatogen (B6); globular (B7); heart (B8); torpedo (B9); bent (B10); and mature (B11) embryos. Bar = 0.01 mm (B1–B9); 0.1 mm (B10–B11).
