Reception defect in a lre-5/lre-5 ovule
Video 13. Pollen tube reception defect in a lre-5/lre-5 ovule is recapitulated in an in vitro guidance assay
Time-lapse imaging of LAT52:DsRed -tagged pollen tube entering a lre-5/lre-5 ovule, reaching DD3:GFP -marked synergid cell, continuing to grow incessantly in the synergid cell and eventually growing further into the female gametophyte.
The movie shows merged time-lapse images captured in red and green channels.
Time elapsed between two frames is 10 minutes.
