SI Behavior of T0 Plants Carrying a Frameshift Allele of S2-SLF1. Aniline blue staining of pollen tubes in the lower styles of wild-type S3S3 plants separately pollinated by pollen from T0 #2/S2*S3 and #35/S2*S3 plants and a wild-type S2S3 plant (right). White arrows indicate where most pollen tubes stopped growing during incompatible pollinations. Bars = 1 mm. (Reprinted from Sun et al. [2018], Figure 2A.)
