Immunocytochemical Visualization of Centromeres during Prophase I.
Pollen formation in Lilium longiflorum.

Confocal laser scanning microscopy images of centromeres. Chromatin was double-stained with propidium iodide resulting in blue pseudo-color (A, D, G, J, M, P) - in B, E, H, K, N und Q yellow-red pseudocolor of centromeres is visible - C, F, I. L. O and R overlay of both labels
Bar represents 10 µm

A - C: Premeiotic Interphase

D - F : Leptotene

G - I : Zygotene

J - L : Pachytene

M - O : Diplotene: Two adjacent spots indicate disjunction of homologous centromeres

P - R : Diakinesis: Intense yellow-red spots represent centromeres
