H, QUI-GON hairpin; E, eGFP; PN, total number of counted pollen grains; NVP, number of non-viable pollen grains; VP, number of viable pollen grains; PVP, proportion of viable pollen. 95% CI (confidence intervals) were calculated by using the Newcombe method (Newcombe, 1998), with a correction for continuity (http://vassarstats.net/prop1.html), as described in the section “Materials and Methods.”
