Figure 3. H2A.W is required for heterochromatin condensation.

Figure 3

(A) Morphological phenotypes observed in h2a.w double and triple mutants growing side by side with wild type (WT) plants. The triple mutant shown in the main panel is magnified in the inset. (B) Decondensed chromocentres observed in leaf nuclei stained with DAPI and immunostained against the heterochromatin marker H3K9me2. Scale bars represent 2 µm. (C) The bar chart represents percentages of nuclei belonging to each class of nuclei shown in B based on the degree of decondensation of chromocentres observed in DAPI staining. Error bars represent the standard deviation. (D) Morphological phenotype observed in the h2a.w.6 h2a.w.7 kyp mutant growing side by side with a WT plant. The triple mutant shown in the main panel is magnified in the inset. See also Figure S3.
