Fig. 3From: Heat stress induces spikelet sterility in rice at anthesis through inhibition of pollen tube elongation interfering with auxin homeostasis in pollinated pistilsThe pollen germination on stigma and pollen tube elongation in rice pistil under heat stress. The fluorescent images displayed in a-c and d-f show the NPB pistil with pollen tube under natural and heat-stress conditions, respectively; the fluorescent images displayed in g-i and j-l show the HTS pistil with pollen tube under natural and heat stress conditions, respectively. The triangular marks in red indicated the pollen tube; the triangular marks in white indicated the amplifying section in the bottom right of each pictureBack to article page
