  1. -- ZERO --: no reaction.
  2. (…): parenteses: weak reaction.
  3. #: hub cells strong reaction.
  4. ##: hub cells only.
  5. *: cytoplasm.
  6. Early: early developmental stages.
  7. EU: euchromatin only.
  8. HET: heterochromatin only.
  9. NO: nucleolus strongly labeled.
  10. PM: postmeiotic stages (according to [2].
  11. &: particularly strong reaction in bulb cells.
  12. %: nuclei during meiotic divisions labeled.
  13. Dot: spotted label.
  14. Increasing: increasing label intensity with age.
  15. Decreasing: decreasing label intensity with age.
  16. Asymmetric: decreasing from basis to tip of elongating spermatid nucleus.
  17. °: shown in the figures.
