3.9 Cell differentiation and expansion in T. controversainfected anthers
Cell numbers (Figure 7A-D ), sizes (Figure 7E-G ),
volume ( Figure 7H ) and shapes (y/x) (Figure7I ) of the T. controversa infected anthers were showed.
The cell count of EPI, EN cells along X-axis were increased in
developmental anthers. However, SPL, TA, PMC, MP and PG had no
statistically difference along the X-axis after T. controversainfection (Figure 7A, Table 5) . The cell count of EPI
and EN cells along Y-axis increased during 150-800 and then keep the
number until2300 µm. MP and PG cells almost keep the same during
development (Figure 7B, Table 5 ). The total
cell/locule (X*Y) of EPI and EN cells increased in 150-2300 µm afterT. controversa infection. Similarly, TA increased from 400-1300
µm (Figure 7C, Table 5 ). EPI and EN cells showed
reverse tend in the development anthers (Figure 7D, Table5 ). Results showed that the cell width (X-axis) of EPI, EN,
SPL, PG increased during anther development, respectively( Figure 7E, Table 6) . Increased cell length
(Y-axis) of EPI cells were recorded during anther development. EN and
PMC cells did not showed much change during development (Figure7F, Table 6) . Cell depth (Z-axis) of EPI, and TA cells
did not show much change (Figure 7G, Table 6 ). The
volume (X*Y*Z) of EPI, EN, TA and PMC cells did not show much more
changes (Figure 7H, Table 6) . The Y/X ratio of EN and
PG cells not change too much, while EPI cells showed decrease tend
during anther development (Figure 7I, Table 6) . The
percentage of locule volume of EPI, EN and TA cells indicated similar
changes. Additionally, percentage of PMC, MP and PG showed increased in
anther development (Figure 7J, Table 6 ).
