Gamete-specific centromere labeling in female pWOX2-CENH3-GFP embryo sacs. a-t Bright field imaging and GFP-based assessment of pWOX2-CENH3-GFP expression and localization during female reproduction; pre-meiotic stage a and b, meiosis e and f, uninuclear megaspore i and j, binuclear embryo sac m and n and fully matured seven-celled embryo sac q and r. Arrows indicate gametophytic cells. Scale bar, 20 μm. Corresponding stages in male gametophytic development are depicted next to each ovule figure; uninuclear d and e, binuclear microspore g and h and trinuclear k, l, o, p, s and t pollen stage. Scale bar, 10 μm. Images are single snapshots and hence not all centromeric signals may be displayed
