  • Briefly, plants expressing pAR98 pATML1:: H2B-mYFP were grown in pots, the stems were taped to slides, the overlying flowers were dissected away, and the inflorescence with young sepals were mounted under a cover slip, stained with propidium iodide (PI), and imaged on a Zeiss 510 meta confocal laser scanning microscope every 6 (or 12) h.
