白皮松针叶内皮层中具凯氏带的证据

利用荧光显微镜对白皮松（Pinus bungeana Zuce.)针叶内皮层结构进行深入观察,确认内皮层径向壁和横向壁上具有能够激发荧光的带状结构;用纤维素酶和果胶酶对内皮层充分酶解分离后,首次从叶中得到类似于根部内皮层特有的网状结构。应用傅立叶变换红外光谱分光术（FTIR）对网状结构进行化学成分鉴定,其吸收光谱的分析结果表明,针叶内皮层细胞壁带状结构部分含有木质素,木栓质,纤维素和细胞壁蛋白等,而这些成分与针叶维管组织的成分不尽相同,上述证据表明,白皮松针叶内皮层细胞壁具有与根部内皮层相似的凯氏带结构。     

单子叶植物根的内皮层及其观察方法

裸子植物和具有少量次生长的双子叶植物根的内皮层细胞通常都具有径向壁和横壁加厚而成的凯氏带结构。但多数单子叶植物和少数双子叶植物(没有次生生长的种类)根的内皮层细胞只有在发育的早期(幼根)具有凯氏带,发育的后期(较老的根)内皮层细胞壁内敷贴了一整层栓质层,随后细胞壁又经过了五面加厚(只有邻接皮层一面的壁没有加厚)或六面加厚(即全部细胞壁都加厚),加厚部分都经过了木质化,因此这时就看不到凯氏带了。由于内皮层细胞内敷贴了一整层栓质层,这类植物根的维管柱似乎被一层不透水的套子所隔开了。实际不然,因为并不是全部内皮层细胞都具有五面或六面加厚的壁,通常有一部分内皮层细胞,就是在根的横切面上靠近木质部角端的那一部分内皮层细胞,仍有未栓质化、未加厚、只有凯氏带的纤维素薄壁,这一部分内皮层细胞     

华山松根与针叶凯氏带的比较研究

应用冰冻切片、酶解分离、荧光显微技术和傅里叶红外光谱分析(FTIR)等手段,对华山松初生根和针叶内皮层凯氏带进行了分离、显微结构特征和化学成分的比较。研究结果表明：针叶凯氏带的“网格”结构比较整齐,大小较一致,排列也较规则,同时在“网格”的纵向壁上具有明显的初生纹孔场。而初生根凯氏带网状结构的大小、排列均不规则,在其“网格”的纵向壁上的初生纹孔场不明显。根据FTIR的检测结果显示：初生根凯氏带中木栓质和木质素的含量均高于针叶,而纤维素的含量则明显低于针叶;两者细胞壁蛋白的含量基本相同。本文的研究结果为深入探讨植物地下部分和地上部分凯氏带的生理功能提供新的佐证。     

植物凯氏带形成分子机制及功能特点的研究进展

凯氏带位于被子植物初生根内皮层细胞,环绕细胞1周,是与质膜紧密结合的非极性带状增厚结构。凯氏带作为植物根中离子径向运输障碍,调节离子的质外体吸收途径,迫使土壤中的离子通过内皮层细胞膜,选择性地进入中柱。凯氏带发现于1865年,但直至拟南芥凯氏带蛋白的发现和凯氏带阻滞作用物质基础被揭示,凯氏带的形成机理和功能才逐渐为人们所认知。凯氏带的物质基础为木质素,其形成需要由凯氏带蛋白和受体激酶组成的合成平台。细胞内部的木质素单体经ABCG载体运输到凯氏带的形成区,经ESB1dirigent蛋白、RBOHF氧化酶和PER64过氧化物酶等催化,合成木质素。该文对近年来国内外有关凯氏带形成的分子机制和功能特点方面的研究进展进行综述,为进一步理解和解析凯氏带的形成机理和功能提供参考。

植物钙素吸收和运转

近年来,钙素在植物体内的吸收和运输研究主要集中在细胞和分子水平,但整株水平上的研究也同样重要.整株水平上的钙吸收和运输包括根细胞的钙吸收、钙离子横向穿过根系并进入木质部、在木质部运输、从木质部移出并进入叶片或果实及在叶片或果实中运转分配等环节,既经过质外体也穿越共质体.钙离子通道、Ca2 -ATP酶和Ca2 /H 反向转运器等参与根细胞的钙吸收.在钙离子横向穿根进入木质部的过程中,需要穿越内皮层和木质部薄壁细胞组织.根系内皮层凯氏带阻挡了Ca2 沿质外体途径由内皮层外侧向内侧的移动,部分Ca2 由此通过离子通道流进内皮层细胞而转入共质体并到达木质部薄壁细胞组织,而由木质部薄壁细胞组织进入中柱质外体可能需要Ca2 -ATP酶驱动;还有一些Ca2 由内皮层细胞运出,沿内皮层内侧的质外体途径进入木质部导管,并通过导管运向枝干.钙离子以螯合态的形式在枝干导管运输;水流速率是影响钙离子沿导管运输的关键因子.钙离子在果实和叶片中的运输和分配不仅通过质外体途径也通过共质体途径.

Casparian strips in needles are more solute permeable than endodermal transport barriers in roots of Pinus bungeana

The structure and development of endodermal Casparian strips in Pinus bungeana needles and roots were studied by scanning electron microscopy and fluorescence microscopy. Primary pit fields (PFs) frequently occurred in radial walls of Casparian strips isolated from needles, whereas PFs were never detected in Casparian strips from roots. Formation of Casparian strips in needles as well as roots started at the outer parts of the radial walls and they finally occupied the entire radial walls of the endodermis. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy of Casparian strips isolated from roots revealed significant absorption bands characteristic for suberin. However, in Casparian strips of needles, evidence for suberin was rarely detected by FTIR spectroscopy. The apoplastic permeability of Casparian strips in needles and roots was probed by the apoplastic tracers calcofluor and berberine. Casparian strips in roots efficiently blocked the apoplastic transport (AT) of calcofluor and berberine. Casparian strips in needles blocked the AT of calcofluor, but diffusion of berberine was not inhibited and berberine thiocyanate crystals were detectable in the vascular tissue of the needles. From the data presented, it must be concluded that Casparian strips in needles, which are characterized by the absence of suberin, are more solute permeable compared with Casparian strips in roots.     

The Casparian Strip of Clivia miniata Reg. Roots: Isolation,Fine Structure and Chemical Nature*

The root endodermis of Clivia miniata Reg. was successfully isolated using the cell wall degrading enzymes cellulase and pectinase. The enzymes did not depolymerize those regions of the primary cell walls of anticlinal endodermal root cells where the Casparian strips were located. Since the endodermis of C. miniata roots remained in its primary developmental state over the whole root length, endodermal isolates essentially represented Casparian strips. Thus, sufficient amounts of isolated Casparian strips could be obtained to allow further detailed investigations of the isolates by microscopic, histochemical and analytical methods. Scanning electron microscopy revealed the reticular structure of the Casparian strips completely surrounding the central cylinder of the roots. Whereas in younger parts of the root only the anticlinal cell walls of the endodermis remained intact in the isolates, in older parts of the root the periclinal walls also restricted enzymatic degradation due to the deposition of lignin. Extracts of the isolates with organic solvents did not reveal any wax-like substances which might have been deposited within the cell wall forming a transport barrier, as is the case with cutin and suberin. However, several histochemical and analytical methods (elemental analysis and FTIR spectroscopy) showed that the chemical nature of the Casparian strips of C. miniata roots can definitely be a lignified cell wall. These findings are in complete agreement with studies carried out at the beginning of this century on the chemical nature of the Casparian strips of several other plant species. The implications of these results concerning apoplasmatic transport of solutes and water across Casparian strips are discussed.     

Casparian strips in needles of Pinus bungeana: isolation and chemical characterization

By using cell wall degrading enzymes, Casparian strips were for the first time isolated from Pinus bungeana needle endodermis. They appeared as a fine network, similar to those isolated from roots. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopic analysis provided evidence that the Casparian strips were impregnated with lignin, suberin, cellulose and cell wall proteins.     

Fourier transform infrared-spectroscopic characterisation of isolated endodermal cell walls from plant roots: chemical nature in relation to anatomical development

The chemical nature of enzymatically isolated endodermal cell walls from Cicer arietinum L., Clivia miniata Reg. and Iris germanica L. was studied by FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectroscopy. Observed frequencies were assigned to functional groups present in the cell wall and relative amounts of the biopolymers suberin and lignin, cell wall carbohydrates and proteins were determined. Infrared absorption spectra indicated structural characteristics for the three different developmental states of the isolated endodermal cell wall: primary endodermis with Casparian strips (state I), secondary endodermis with suberin lamellae (state II), and tertiary endodermis with U-shaped cell wall depositions (state III). The data obtained from this study are compared with previous results obtained by chemical degradation of isolated endodermal cell walls and subsequent determination of monomeric degradation products by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry. It is concluded that FTIR spectroscopy represents a direct and nondestructive method suitable for the rapid investigation of isolated plant cell walls. Furthermore, the observation that the suberin-assigned absorption bands disappeared after transesterification of the samples with BF₃-methanol confirmed that suberin is completely degraded by this treatment.

Casparian strip development and its potential function in salt tolerance

The root system is particularly affected by unfavourable conditions because it is in direct contact with the soil environment. Casparian strips, a specialised structure deposited in anticlinal walls, are characterised by the impregnation of the primary wall pores with lignin and suberin. The Casparian strips in the endo- and exodermis of vascular plant roots appear to play an important role in preventing the non-selective apoplastic bypass of salts into the stele along the apoplast under salt stress. However, only a few investigations have examined the deposition and function of these apoplastic barriers in response to salt stress in higher plants.     

Root Endodermis and Exodermis: Structure, Function, and Responses to the Environment

Roots of virtually all vascular plants have an endodermis with a Casparian band, and the majority of angiosperm roots tested also have an exodermis with a Casparian band. Both the endodermis and exodermis may develop suberin lamellae and thick, tertiary walls. Each of these wall modifications has its own function(s). The endodermal Casparian band prevents the unimpeded movement of apoplastic substances into the stele and also prevents the backflow of ions that have moved into the stele symplastically and then were released into its apoplast. In roots with a mature exodermis, the barrier to apoplastic inflow of ions occurs near the root surface, but prevention of backflow of ions from the stele remains a function of the endodermis. The suberin lamellae protect against pathogen invasion and possibly root drying during times of stress. Tertiary walls of the endodermis and exodermis are believed to function in mechanical support of the root, but this idea remains to be tested. During stress, root growth rates decline, and the endodermis and exodermis develop closer to the root tip. In two cases, stress is known to induce the formation of an exodermis, and in several other cases to accelerate the development of both the exodermis and endodermis. The responses of the endodermis and exodermis to drought, exposure to moist air, flooding, salinity, ion deficiency, acidity, and mechanical impedance are discussed.

Chemical composition and ultrastructure of broad bean (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Vicia faba</Emphasis> L.) nodule endodermis in comparison to the root endodermis

Ultrastructure and development of apoplastic barriers within indeterminate root nodules formed by Vicia faba L. were examined by light and electron microscopy. The nodule outer cortex is separated from the inner cortex by a heavily suberized nodule endodermis, which matures in submeristematic regions and possesses suberin lamellae. Unsuberized passage cells are present near vascular strands, which are surrounded by a vascular endodermis attached on the inner side of the nodule endodermal cell walls. The vascular endodermis appears immediately below the meristematic apex in developmental state I (Casparian bands), gradually develops suberin lamellae, and attains developmental state II at the base of the nodule. For chemical analysis apoplastic barrier tissues were dissected after enzymatic digestion of non-impregnated tissues. Root epidermal and endodermal cell walls as well as nodule outer cortex could be isolated as pure fractions; nodule endodermal cell walls could not be separated from vascular endodermal cell walls and enclosed xylem vessels. Gas chromatography-flame ionization detection and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry were applied for quantitative and qualitative analysis of suberin and lignin in isolated cell walls of these tissues. The suberin content of isolated endodermal cell walls of nodules was approximately twice that of the root endodermal cell walls. The suberin content of the nodule outer cortex and root epidermal cell walls was less than one-tenth of that of the nodule endodermal cell wall. Substantial amounts of lignin could only be found in the nodule endodermal cell wall fraction. Organic solvent extracts of the isolated tissues revealed long-chain aliphatic acids, steroids, and triterpenoid structures of the lupeol type. Surprisingly, extract from the outer cortex consisted of 89% triterpenoids whereas extracts from all other cell wall isolates contained not more than 16% total triterpenoids. The results of ultrastructural and chemical composition are in good correspondence and underline the important role of the examined tissues as apoplastic barriers.
