Table 1. Quantitative analysis of pollen germination rates and pollen tube lengths of the Lat52-GFP, Lat52-Ann5-GFP 1 and 3, and Ann5Pro-Ann5 1 homozygous lines.

For pollen germination rate, the pollen germinated for 3 h in the presence of 0.3 or 0.6 µM BFA. Eight hundred pollen grains and tubes were counted. For pollen tube length, the pollen germinated normally for 2 h and was then treated with 0.3 or 0.6 µM BFA for 2 h. A total of 500 pollen tubes were measured. Values represent the means ± SD. *P<0.05 and **P<0.01 by Student's t test.
