Mutations in <i>FIGL1</i> restores bivalent formation in <i>zmm</i> mutants.

<p>A: Gene model of the <i>FIDGETIN-Like-1</i> gene, exons appear as blue boxes, the conserved domains are indicated in green, red and purple. Black lines represent the position of the point mutations. B: Univalent pairs (red) and bivalents (blue) count of metaphase I male meiocytes in wild type, <i>zmm</i> mutants (<i>zip4</i>, <i>msh4</i>, <i>msh5</i>, <i>hei10</i> and <i>shoc1</i>) and in <i>zmm figl1</i> double mutants, as well as <i>figl1</i> single mutants and <i>figl1-1 spo11</i> double mutants. All genotypes are in a Columbia-0 background, except for <i>msh4 figl1-12</i> and <i>msh4 figl1-13</i> which are in a Landsberg erecta background (Ler).
