Hho1 helps to compact the nucleus late in sporulation. (A) WT and hho1Δ spores stained with DAPI demonstrate an increase in nuclear size of hho1Δ compared to WT spores. (B) hho1Δ spores show a statistically significant increase in nuclear size compared to WT spores. Six hundred spore nuclei were counted per strain. Error bars represent standard deviations. (C) The measurements from panel B were clustered into 0.1-μm² intervals and are presented as a distribution across the intervals. A higher percentage of hho1Δ spores than of WT spores show larger nuclear areas.
