Progression of meiosis in a tam anther. Tubulin (RFP) is highlighted in magenta, chromosomes are marked by REC8 in green (GFP), chloroplasts (autofluorescence) are blue. At the start of the time-lapse meiocytes are at the pre-meiotic landmark t0 (START), and they proceed through the division, until telophase I (minute 1800 to 2040, t11). After telophase I, they exit meiosis pre-maturely, leading to the formation of dyads (minute 2040 onwards). Meiosis proceed slower in tam mutant, starting from diplotene stage, where the MTs start to present aberrant phenotypes (time 1300). On the top left corner, there is an indication of the landmark crossed. Time is expressed in minutes; the interval between image acquisition is 10 min, with the exception of 1 time point (80 min interval between time 880 and 960); time 0 corresponds to the start of image acquisition, and not to the start of meiosis.
