DAPI staining of abnormal chromosome configurations during microsporogenesis of Ranunculus plants. a. – d.) Regular meiosis of PMCs, a.) PMC at zygotene, b.) PMC at anaphase I, c.) PMC at the end of anaphase II, d.) PMC at telophase II, e. – l.) Various developmental failures in Ranunculus PMCs, e. – h.) Sticky chromosomes in PMCs during anaphase I (arrowheads), i. – l.) PMCs display stickiness due to clumped chromosomes, i.) PMC with laggard at anaphase I (arrowhead), j. + k.) PMCs at anaphase II with lagging chromosomes (arrowheads), l.) Erratically separated bivalents at anaphase II (arrowheads). Genotypes: a. + b., e.) F3 * J6 (18); c.) J6 * F7 (05); f. - h.) F3 * J6 (09); d., i., l.) F3 * J6 (30); j., k.) F3 * J6 (03).
