Fig. 4.

Male and female meiosis in wild-type (male, A–F; female, M–R) and atrad51-1 (male, G–L; female, S–X) plants. For male meiosis, stages included for wild-type (A–F) and atrad51 (G–L) meiosis are leptotene (A and G), zygotene (B and H), pachytene (C and I), diplotene (D and J), diakinesis (E and K), and metaphase I (F and L). For female meiosis, stages included for wild-type (M–R) and atrad51-1 (S–X) meiosis are leptotene (M and S), zygotene (N and T), pachytene (O and U), diakinesis (P and V), metaphase I (Q and W), and anaphase I (R and X). The arrow in B indicates a pairing fork.
