The Development of Gynoecium After Anthesis and Fertilization in Eleutherococcus brachypus (Araliaceae)

Eleutherococcus brachypus Harms. is a protandrous plant because the female gametophyte delays its maturation until the fifth day after anthesis and pollen shelling. On the fifth day after anthesis, about 57.69% of the embryo sacs matured and the rest degenerated or failed to develop. Fertilization began in the embryo sac on the fifth day. On the tenth day fertilization took place in 53.37 % of the total of embryo sacs. The stigma became receptible after 3 to 4 days of anthesis. It took 2 to 3 days from the germination of pollen grains on stigma to the fusion of male and female nuclei. The process of fertilization in E. brachypus is not different from most other angiosperms. It belonged to the type of premitotic syngamy. The observations and statistical analysis were made on the number feature of male and female nucleoli in the zygote. The result indicated that it took three days or so from the appearance of male nucleolus in the zygote to its fusion with the female nucleotus. Refering to the number of free nuclei of the endosperm, the fusion of male and female nucleoli in most of the zygotes occurred in the stage of 32 to 128 nuclei of the endosperm. Most zygotes con-tained a big nucleolus resulting from the fusion of male and female nucleolus and proceeding to mitosis. A few without fusion could also proceed to the mitotic stage. Features of multiple sperms entering the embryo sac or entering the egg cell and the degeneration of mature embryo sacs were observed as well. The sign of the termination of fertilization in angiosperms was discussed.     

Cytologic Observations on the Double Fertilization in Maize

1.The double fertilization is the type of the premitotic syngamy. 2. In 21 to 24 hours after pollination, most of the female nuclei fuse with the male nuclei. When the female nucleus fuses with the male nucleus, there are two situations in the appearance of the male nucleolus: one is that while the chromatin of the sperm nucleus relaxes gradually, a male nucleolus appears; the other is that after the chromatin of the sperm nucleus relaxes gradually, the male nucleus just appears in about 2 to 4 hours. 3. Generally, the fusion of the female nucleolus with the male nucleolus takes place before the division of the nygote. The nygote enters the stage of division when it has a jarge nucieojus; the zygote, in which the female nucleoius does not fuse with the male nucleolus, also can enter the stage of division. In 30 to 33 hours after pollination, the first division of the zygote occurs. The resting period of the zygote is about 9 hours 4. In the primary endosperm nucleus, the female nucleolus does not fuse with the male nucleolus. 24 to 26 hours after pollination, the primary endosperm nucleus begins the first division. The resting period of the primary endosperm nucleus is 2 to 4 hours. 5. Under the condition of artificial pollination, the fertilization of the fruit ears of maize proceeds sequencely, i.e. from the upper of the fruit ears to the lower the fertilization is fulfilled gradually.     

玉米双受精过程的细胞学观察

1.玉米双受精属于有丝分裂前配子融合的类型。2.授粉后21至24小时,大部分雌、雄性核发生融合。雌、雄性核融合时,雄性核仁的出现存在两种情况,其一是精核染色质逐渐分散的同时出现雄性核仁,其二是精核染色质逐渐分散后,约经2至4小时才出现雄性核仁。3.合子内的雌、雄性核仁若发生融合,一般在合子分裂前进行。合子以一个大核仁的形式进入分裂期;雌、雄性核仁不融合的合子同样可以进入分裂期。授粉后30至33小时,合子进行第一次分裂。合子静止期大约为9小时左右。4.初生胚乳核内的雌、雄性核仁不发生融合。授粉后24至26小时,初生胚乳核进行第一次分裂。初生胚乳核的静止期为2—4小时。5.人工授粉条件下,玉米果穗受精过程的进行有一定的顺序;即自果穗上部逐渐向下部完成受精作用。     

Cytological Studies of the Double Fertilization in Rice

Detailed studies on the process of double fertilization in rice were conducted in the present work. The results are summarized as follows: 1. In the embryosac 30 minutes after anthesis, the pollen tube has already reached the micropyle in every specimen. In some cases, it has even entered further into the embryosac and discharged its contents, including the two male gametes. 2. 1½ hours after anthesis, the male gamete enters into the egg cell. As soon as it comes in contact with the egg nucleus, it increases in size. 2 hours after anthesis, the male nucleus is found inside the female one. A male nucleolus is now clearly discernible. 3. The male nucleolus is gradually growing until it reaches the size of the female one, and then the fusion of the two takes place. The fusion is generally completed and the zygote is formed 7 hours after anthesis. 4. The first mitotic division of the zygote occurs 9 hours after anthesis. 5. The fusion of the male gamete and the polar nucleus proceeds in a similar way as that of the male and female gametes, but it takes a much shorter time usually being completed within 3 hours after anthesis. 6. The male gamete enters into one of the polar nuclei and reveals its nucleolus which increases rapidly in size and then unites with that of the polar nucleus. As soon as the union is completed, the nuclear membrane between the closely contacted parts of the two polar nuclei disappears and the primary endosperm nucleus is formed. 7. The first mitotic division of the primary endosperm nucleus begins right after its formation. 8. With the fusion of the male and female gametes and the development of the zygote, the mitochondria in the cytoplasm surrounding the nucleus increase in size and number. However, in the central cytoplasm about the polar nuclei they show no notice- able change during the fertilization process. 9. Based on the facts that in the embryosac a secondary pollen tube is often seen in every stage of the fertilization process and that additional nucleoli are also observed sometimes in the egg nucleus, the authors believe that polyspermy most probably exists in rice plants, and that this may be one of the causes of polyploid plants often found in rice field as reported by several authors.     

Fertilization and Histochemical Investigation on Pulsatilla chinensis (Bung) Regel

Fertilization and variation of protein and starch grains in Pulsatilla chinensis (Bung) Regel have been studied at light microscopic level with histochemical test. Based upon the observations, the main conclusions are summarized as follows: The mature pollen grains are two-celled in which the generative cell shows the stronger protein staining than the vegetative cell. And vegetative cells are full of starch garins. When the pollen tube enters into the embryo sac, one synergid is destroyed, or in a few cases synergids are intact. Occasionally two synergids are disorganized as pollen tube penetrates. However, most of the remaining syuergids break down during fertilization, only in a few cases it remains till early stage of embryo development. The contents discharged by the pollen tube consist of two sperms, which stain intensely blue with protein dyes, a great amount of protein and starch grains. Mature female gametophyte (embryo sac) consists of an egg apparatus, central cell, which has a huge secondary nucleus, and antipodal apparatus which retain in course of fertilization. A few of embryo sac contain two sets of egg apparatus, a central cell with two huge secondary nuclei and two sets of antipodal apparatus. In some nucleoli of the central cell the comb-like structure pattern may be detected clearly. There are 1–2 small nucleoli in some egg cells and central cells. All the cells in embryo sac show protein positive reaction. According to the different shades of the color in cells, its may be arranged in the following order: antipodal cells, synergids, central cell and egg cell. Only a few small starch grains are present near nuclei of central cell and egg cell before fertilization, but no starch grains remain in most of the central cell, the synergids and antipodal cells. The fertilization is of the premitotic type. The fusion of the sexual nuclei progresses in the following order: 1, sperms approach and lie on the egg nucleus and secondary nucleus; 2, sperm chromatin sinks themselves into female nucleus, and male nucleolus emerges with the sperm chromosome; and 3, male nucleoli fuse with the nucleoli of egg nucleus and central cell nucleus, and finally forming the zygote and the primary endosperm cells respectively. Nevertheless, as it is well known, the fertilization completes in central cell obviously earlier than that in egg cell. Though it has been explained in cereals and cotton, in Pulsatilla chinensis the main reason is that nucleolar fusion of the male and female nucleoli in egg nucleus is slower than that in secondary nucleus. And the dormancy of the primary endosperm nucleus is shorter than that of the zygote. In the process of fertilization, histochemical changes are considerably obvious in the following three parts: 1, from the begining of fusion of male and female nuclei to form zygote and primary endosperm cell, Protein staining around female nucleus appears to increase gradually; 2, no starch grains are detected in embryo sac. Though only starch grains are carried in by pollen tube, they are completely exhausted during this period; and 3, near completion of fertilization starch grains appear again in zygote, however, not yet in primary endosperm nucleus till its dividing for the first time. The present study reveals that antipodal cells and synergids seem to play a significant role in nutrition of the embryo sac during the fertilization.

Studies on Fertilization in Glycine max

This work studies the whole process of fertilization in Glycine max. The results are summarized as follows: 1. The type of ripened pollen grain of soybean was two-cell type. The generative cell was divided mitotically into two spermatids within the pollen tube. 2. In the 6th hour after self-pollination, the pollen tube entered into the embryo sac and released two sperms. Before the fusion of the male and female nuclei, the cytoplasmic sheath of the spermatids falled off. The cytoplasm of the male gamete did not fuse with that of the egg cell. 3. In the 6th hour after self-pollination, one spermatid nucleus come in contact with the egg nucleus and the other with the secondary nucleus, The contact of the sperimatid nucleus with the egg nucleus was a little earlier than that with the secondary nucleus. 4. The spermatid nucleus entered into the egg nucleus; the chromatic granules of the spermatid despiralized. After the complete fusion of the spermatid nucleus with the egg nucleus, the egg nucleus was darkly stained and the chromonemata increased, afterward the male nucleus appeared. 5. In the 28th hour after self-pollination, the zygote begun the first mitotic division. It took about 20 hours to fuse the male and female gametes, and to form the zygote untile before first mitotic division. It means that the zygote dormancy stage of soybean was about twenty hours. 6. In the 7th hour after self-pollination, the spermatid nucleus fused with the secondary nucleus. The process was similar to that of the spermatid nucleus with the egg nucleus. The chromatic granules gradually despiralized within the secondary nucleus, and the male nucleoli appeared. The velocity of the fusion of the spermatid nucleus with the secondary nucleus was faster than that of the other spermatid nucleus with the egg nucleus. 7. In the 10th hour after self-pollination, the secondary nucleus begun the first mitotic division. 8. The fertilization of soybean was the premitotic type.

The Development of Gynoecium after Anthesis and Fertilization in Eleutherococcus senticosus (Araliaceae)

The development status of gynoecia in Eleutherococcus senticosus flowers is different from that in ordinary plants. Female gametophytes of E. senticosus have not become mature until the 6th day after anthesis. On the 6th day, 82.25% of embryo sacs in female plants, and 67.25％ of those in hermaphroditic plants become mature, while the rest are sterile, immature or degenerated with no fertilized embryo sacs observed. At the same time, all embryo sacs degenerated and flowers withered in male plants. On the 7th day, a few embryo sacs in female and hermaphroditic plants start being fertilized. Accompanying the differentiation of embryo sacs, styles of female and hermaphroditic flowers start to expand and their nectaries become mature gradually. After the 4th or 6th day of anthesis, stigmatic papillae become conspicious and stigmata become white and open. In the meantime, the stigmata become receptive and the nectaries get active or reactive. By the 9th or 10th day, 40～65 ％ of embryo sacs in female plants and 25～41% of those in hermaphroditic plants have been fertilized. The whole process of fertilization in E. senticosus was observed. About 2 or 3 days after pollination, the two sperm nuclei start to fuse with the egg and the secondary nucleus. The fertilization of E. senticosus belongs to the premitotic type of syngamy. The essential process of the fusion of male and female nuclei during syngamy may be generalized as follows: (1) the contacting of male nucleus with the female one; (2) the fusion of nuclear membranes between the male and female nuclei; (3) the despiralization of male spireme and the appearance of male nucleolus inside the fertilized female nucleus; (4) the dispersion of male chromatin and the mergence with the female chromatin, which is the sign of completion of the fusion of the two nuclei. In addition, degeneration types of mature embryo sacs were observed. And typical polyspermy and a series of cases in which extra sperms enter the em-bryo sac are recorded.     

Ovule,Female and Male Gametophyte and Fertilization of Kingdonia uniflora Balfour F. et W. W. Smith

The structure of ovule, female and male gametophyte, double fertilization and the distrubution of starch grains during the fertilization have been studied. The main results are as follows: ( 1 ) Ovule The ovule is anatropous, unitegmic and tenuinucellate. The nucetlus appears cylindric, since megaspores and embryo sac development, its internal cells of nucellus become disorganized, so that only a single layer of epidermal cells remains toward the side of the micropyle, On the other hand, the integument is not as long as nucellus, as a result micropyle is not formed. And no vascular bundle is found in the integument. (2) Female gametophyte The mature embryo sac is slender and is composed of an egg cell, two synergids, a central cell and three antipodal cells. The egg cell is situated slightly away from the tip of embryo sac. Some of them contain starch grains. Synergids occupy the tip of embryo sac. Its wall at micropylar region appears irregular in thickenes and irregular in ingrowths to form the filiform apparatus. The centrateell is very large, and strongly vacuolated Two polar nuclei come to contact closely with each other, but not fuse, or to fuse into a large secondary nucleus before fertilization. The polar nuclei or the secondary nucleus are usually situated at the middle-lower position of the central cell or nearer to the chalazal end above the antipodal cell. It is different from egg cell, no starch grains are found here. In most embryo sacs three antipodal cells are found. They are not as large as those in other plants of Ranunculaceae. But six antipodal cells or the antipodal cell with two nuclei may rarely be found. Like synergid, the wall of them appears not only irregularly thickened, but clearly with irregular ingrowths. In a few antipodal cells the starch garins are usually found near the nucleus. By the end of fertilization, antipodal cells become disintegrated. (3) Male gametophyte Most pollen grains are two-celled when shedding, and rich in starch grains. A few of them contain single nucleus or three-celled. (4) The double fertilization The fertilization of Kingdonia unifiora Balfour f. et W, W. Smith is wholly similar to some plants of Ranunculaceae studied. First, the pollen tube penetrates a degenerating synergid. And the pollen tube discharges its contents with two sperm nuclei into the degenerating synergid cell. One of the two sperms fuses with the nucleus of the egg, and the other fuses with two polar nuclei or the secondary nucleus of the central cell. If one sperm nucleus at first fuses with one of the polar nuclei, and then the fertilized polar nuclei again fuses with other polar nucleus. Secondly, the fertilization of the polar nuclei or the secondary nuclei completes earlier than that of the egg. The primary endosperm nucleus begins to divide earlier than the zygote. It seems that one of the sperm nuclei come to contact with egg nucleus, the other has already fused with polar nuclei or the secondary nucleus. The zygote with a single nucleolus appears until the endosperm with 16–20 cell. Thirdly, before and after fertilization there are one to some small nucleoli in egg nucleus and polar nuclei or secondary nucleus. However they increase in quantity from the beginning of the fusion of male nucleis. These nucleoli quite differ from male nucleoli by their small size, and most of them disappear at the end of fertilization. It may be concluded that the small nucleoli increase in quantity is related to the fusion of male and female nuclei. In the duration of fertilization, in ovule starch distribution is in the basal region of integument. But in embryo sac, onlysome egg cells, or zygotes contain starch grains, a part of which was brought in by pollen tube. Sometimes the starch grains are found in some synergids and antipodal cells. No starch grains are found in the central cell.

The Fertilization and Early Development of Embryo and Endosperm in Stevia rebaudiana Bertani

The mature embryo sac is surrounded by endothelium tapetum. It is composed or an egg apparatus, one central cell with secondary nucleus, and 1–6 antipodal cells. About the 6th hour after pollination, female and male nuclei fuse with each other. The syngamy occurred almost simultaneously with the fusion of an other sperm nucleus and the secondary nucleus, but the velocity of the latter is faster than that of the syngamy. The fertilization of Stevia rebaudiana Bertani belongs to the premitotic type. About the 8th hour after pollination, primary endosperm nucleus is in mitosis, its dividing orientation may parallel or at right angle to the long axis of the embryo sac, and gives rise to two initial endosperm cells. The first five divisions of the endosperm cells are of synchronism. At the stage of heart-shaped embryo, the endosperm cells show the signs of digestion and absorbed. The endosperm development is of the cellular type. About the 10th hour after pollination, zygote divides for the first time. The division of the zygote is always transverse. The embryo development conforms to the Asterad type.     

The kinetics of cytological events during double fertilization in Zea mays L.

By using a clearing method, the process of double fertilization in Zea mays L. (line A 188) was analysed and the precise sequence of events was determined. The period from pollen tube arrival to gamete fusion was relatively short, possibly less than 1 h. The karyogamy was of premitotic type, and the time from the contact of male and female nuclei to the fusion of male and female nucleoli was about 5 h in the egg cell and 3 h in the central cell. In the central cell, the sperm nucleus fused with either one of the polar nuclei or the secondary nucleus, the latter being observed for the first time in maize. The zygote was in the resting period for 13–16 h before division commenced, changing the cell polarity during karyogamy and the resting period. The primary endosperm nucleus divided immediately after karyogamy was completed in the central cell. The embryo sacs with two-celled proembryos contained four to eight endosperm nuclei. The timetable of fertilization events could be a standard for further studies on in vitro fertilization at the cytological and molecular levels.     

The Studies on Embryology in Fritillaria ussuriensis Maxim

The development of the anther wall follows Basic-type. The cytokinesis at the time of pollen mother cell meiosis conforms to successive type. The arrangement of the microspores in the tetrad is referred to isobilateral. The primary wall between the generative cell and the vegetative cell is callose. The callose wall is easily detected under the fluorescence microscope. The mature pollen grain is 2-celled type. The ovule is bitegminous, tenui-nucellar and anatropous. The development of the female gametophyte follows Fritillaria-type. The mature embryo sac. consists of the six cells including the seven nuclei. The fertilization is referred to the premitotic syngamy type. The fusion of the female and male nucleoli is not observed at the end of the fertilization. The division of the primary endosperm nucleus is earlier than that of the zygote. The development of the endosperm is referred to nuclear type. The division of the zygote is transverse of longitudinal, the development of the embryo conforms to Onagradtype. When the seed is mature, the embryo is at the proembryo stage without differentiation and the endosperm cells are not absorbed.
