NO involvement in stigma development. (A, B, C) Flower buds were emasculated during stage I, sprayed with a NO donor (SNP), and bagged to avoid the arrival of pollen grains onto their surface, after which samples were collected at stage III. (D, E, F) Flower buds were emasculated and bagged during stage I without adding SNP, after which samples were collected at stage III. (A, D) H2O2 was detected by DCF-DA. (B, E) O2˙− was detected by DHE. (C, F) Cell death was detected by trypan blue staining. Pc, papillar cells. Bars=50 μm. (This figure is available in colour at JXB online.)
