Fig. 5. Pav-KLP becomes focused at the apexes of cones. Pav-KLP (red),
-tubulin (green), and DNA (blue) in wild-type (A and B) and
dd4S (C and D) meiocytes. (A) Wild-type cyst in
prometaphase/metaphase revealing ring canals derived from premeiotic divisions
containing Pav-KLP (arrow). (B) Meiocytes in telophase II showing contracting
rings with Pav-KLP staining around the central-spindle mid-zone (arrow). (C) A
dd4S cyst with Pav-KLP-containing ring canals (large
arrow). This cysts also contains two hemi-spindles with Pav-KLP staining at
the putative plus ends of microtubules at the periphery of the asters
(arrowheads). A cone is also indicated by the small arrow in with Pav-KLP
accumulated at its apex. (D) dd4S meiocytes with Pav-KLP
at the constriction point of cones (arrowheads), and at the apex of two
biconical structures (arrows). Bar, 50 µm.
