Fig. 8: Decreased gene expression of AeADF1 leads to the inhibition of pollen germination and pollen tube growth.

A The germination status of oligonucleotide-transfected pollen tubes in the control and treatment with hyperoside (0.1 mM) groups. Scale bar = 80 μm. B, C The length of the pollen tube and germination rate when treated or not treated with hyperoside for 40 min. Each treatment had three biological replicates, and error bars display the standard error of the sample. *P < 0.05 (Student’s t test)
