B, Part of the wild-type panicle showing the dehisced anther (left) and part of the osdex1 panicle (right) showing a smaller anther at the pollination stage. C, Wild-type (left) and osdex1 (right) flower organs after removal of the palea and lemma. D, Wild-type (left) and osdex1 (right) flowers before anthesis. E, Wild-type stained pollen at stage 13.
