Cytoembryological analysis of antisense and control plants. (A, B): meiotic embryo sacs with antipodal cells at the chalazal pole (A: wild type; B: plant E2.9). (C, D): adjacent planes of an ovule of obligate aposporous plant Q4117 carrying non-reduced AES; note the coexistence of proembryos arising from parthenogenesis with non-fertilized polar nuclei. (E, F): several gametophytes without antipodal cells (AES-like) coexisting in the same ovule (E: plant E2.9; F: plant E2.13) (images of different focal planes are available in Supplementary Data Sheet 3 ). (G, H): single AES-like gametophyte without antipodal cells (G: plant E2.13; H: plant E2.9). pn, polar nuclei; syn, synergid cells; ec, egg cell; an, antipodal cells; ea, egg apparatus; pro, proembryo.
