Developmental fate of exine-enclosed embryos and suspensor embryos. Cultures from LEC1:LEC1-GFP donor plants were immobilized on day five of culture and tracked for four days. For each set of panels, the light image is shown above and the CLSM image below. The green signal in the CLSM panels corresponds to LEC1-GFP expression. a An exine-enclosed embryo that develops into a suspensorless embryo. b An exine-enclosed embryo that develops into loose callus. c A few-celled suspensor embryo that continues to develop as a suspensor embryo. The suspensor can be distinguished from the embryo proper by the different division pattern of these cells; suspensor divisions are initially transverse, while the first embryo proper division is longitudinal. Labels: e, exine; sus, suspensor; ep, embryo proper
