Fig. 2. Sections through wax-embedded anthers following a 1 hour pulse label of BrdU and fixation 3 hours later. BrdU is detected by anti-BrdU antibody labeled with FITC (green). (A) BrdU labelled PMC nuclei at S-phase of meiotic interphase. (B) BrdU labeled tapetal cell nuclei; the PMCs in this anther are at leptotene/zygotene. Sections are counterstained with DAPI. Bar, 10 µm.
