Fig. 5From: Cytological and transcriptome analyses reveal OsPUB73 defect affects the gene expression associated with tapetum or pollen exine abnormality in riceAnalysis of the anther development in WT and ospub73 plant by transverse semi-thin section. a–c and g–i showed transverse thin-section images of wild-type anther, and d–f and j–l showed transverse thin-section images of ospub73 anther. Ep, epidermis; En, endothecium; ML, middle layer; Ta, tapetum; PMC, pollen mother cell; Tds, tetrads; Msp, microspores; MP, mature pollen; DMP, degraded mature pollen.
