Reduction in xylan deposition in anther endothecium cells in irx8 mutants. LR White-embedded WT (A) and irx8-5 (E) anther transverse sections (250 nm-thick) stained with toluidine blue O (Tol blue), arrowheads point to septum breakage. WT (B–D) and irx8 (F–H) anthers immunolabeled with xylan-reactive antibodies LM10 (B,F), LM11 (C,G), and CCRC-M149 (D,H). Bar = 50 μm for (A–H). TEM of WT (I) and irx8-5 (J) anther. Arrows point to the secondary wall thickenings in the endothecium cell layer, which is reduced in irx8-5. ep, epidermis; en, endothecium; p, pollen; lo, locule. Bar = 5 μm for (I) and (J).
