MOF Is Required for Bouquet Formation and Homologous Pairing.
(A) and (E) Telomere bouquet formation analysis revealed by FISH using the telomere sequence as a probe (red) in wild-type (A) and mof
(E) nuclei. Chromosomes (blue) are stained with DAPI.
(B) and (F) Immunolocalization of OsCenH3 (red) showing paired and unpaired homologous chromosomes in wild-type (B) and mof
(F) nuclei.
(C) and (G) Homologous pairing analysis revealed by FISH using 5S rDNA probe (green; indicated by yellow triangle) in wild-type (C) and mof
(G) nuclei.
(D) and (H) Homologous pairing analysis revealed by FISH using probes prepared from BAC P0671B11 (red; indicated by orange triangle) in wild-type (D) and mof
(H) nuclei. Bars = 5 μm.
