SEM examination of starch granules was performed using a Hitachi Model S-4700 scanning electron microscope at 10.0 kV.
Microscopy to determine the circularity of granules was performed using an Andor spinning disk confocal microscope as described above with a UPlanSApo 100 × 1.4 oil objective.
Immunofluorescence analysis of cortical granules was performed using lens culinaris agglutinin as described previously (Connors et al., 1998) except that the ZPs were left intact to allow visualization of perivitelline space material.
Measurement of the circularity of P bodies and stress granules was performed using a custom-made Matlab routine (see Supplementary file 2) from maximum intensity projections, according to the following equation: C i r c u l a r i t y = 4 π A r e a (P e r i m e t e r ) 2, where the value of circularity is 1 for a perfect circle and the value decreases as it deviates from the circular shape.
