水鬼蕉花药发育中多糖和脂滴组织化学研究

水鬼蕉（Hymenocallis littoralis）花药发育中,脂滴的积累和分布具有明显的特点。在花药中部的造孢细胞中积累了很多脂滴。在形成胼胝质壁的小孢子母细胞中仍有大量脂滴的分布;与此同时,在花药壁绒毡层细胞中的脂滴也明显增加,而在其他药壁细胞中出现了少量淀粉粒。在四分体时期,四分体小孢子形态不规则,依然含有大量脂滴。在小孢子早期,形态不规则的小孢子开始形成花粉外壁,细胞质中的脂滴明显减少;绒毡层细胞外形变得不规则,内部仍含较多脂滴。在小孢子晚期,小孢子形成许多液泡,小孢子变为圆形,在花粉外壁内侧出现红色多糖成分;此时,绒毡层细胞降解,在退化细胞残迹中仍有较多脂滴。在二胞花粉早期,花粉粒中的液泡逐渐消失,脂滴数量又明显增加;而绒毡层细胞残迹变为很大的脂滴。水鬼蕉成熟花粉为二胞型,其中积累了大量的脂滴作为花粉储存物。     

雄性可育与雄性不育籽粒苋小孢子发育研究

栽培种籽料苋（lmaranthus hypochondriacus L。）是一种很有潜力的新型作物。它营养价值高、蛋白质含量丰富、氨基酸平衡好、耐旱、耐盐碱和酸、抗逆性强、适应性广,被认为易极有潜力的、为全球提供粮食的替代作物之一。但是籽粒苋于粒重仅0．7－1．2g,种子易散落。于是,和许多其它植物一样,籽粒苋中也找到了雄性不育株。但是它的小孢子发育过程及其败育时期和不育特征尚不清楚,为它的杂交育种研究带来不便。本文通过电镜对雄性可育和不育的两种籽粒苋小孢子进行观察。发现不育小孢子败育起始于四分体释放以后的单核花粉期。在此之前小孢子的发育是一样的。花粉分化早期,孢原组织分化出初级造孢组织、绒毡层、中间层、药壁内层和表皮层（图1）;造孢组织继续分裂,细胞不断扩大,形成小孢子母细胞（图2）;小孢子母细胞不断增大,周围积累胼胝质并逐渐与绒毡层分离,出现大液泡（图3）;小孢子母细胞减数分裂,四分体形成,包埋于胼胝质中;绒毡层有丝分裂,有双核细胞;大液泡消失;细胞壁开始降解（图4）。胼胝质逐渐消失,小孢子从四分体中释放以后（单核花粉期）,在雄性可育籽粒苋里,小孢子有丝分裂、迅速膨大变圆,可见两个深色雄仁,花粉壁加厚（图5）;进入收缩期,绒毡层降解,突入花药腔,环绕小孢子周围（图6）;花粉壁不断加厚,小孢子更趋成熟（图7）,直直形成内含大量淀粉的完全成熟花粉粒（图8）。而在雄性不育籽粒苋里,出现如下不育特征：小孢子粉壁未能进一步加厚,小孢子形状变得怪异（图13）;花粉内含物溶解,空泡化,成为不育花粉（图14）。小孢子在花药中的发育完全依赖绒毡层细胞提供所需的营养物质和信息,绒毡层异常必然导致花粉败育,胼胝质降解不影响小孢子母细胞减数分裂,而是影响小孢子初生外壁的发育,从而导致小孢子发育退化。籽粒苋花粉败育过程中未见胼胝质降解,其原因有待进一步研究。有报道,正常花粉发育过程中常含有大量液泡,籽粒苋可育花粉的发育过程也证实液泡的发育与花粉粒的充实、花粉的形状有密切关系,而不育花粉中小液泡逐渐膨大,形成空泡后破裂。     

温光敏核不育水稻N28S 无花粉败育的显微结构观察

采用石蜡切片和荧光显微技术观察了温光敏核不育水稻N28S 无花粉败育过程中的显微结构变化, 结果显示: N28S 的小孢子母细胞形成后细胞质变得稀薄, 一部分不能进行减数分裂, 一部分减数分裂阻滞在细线期或胞质分裂异常, 最终所有细胞液泡化解体消失。在此过程中, 还观察到小孢子母细胞在细线期胼胝质壁不产生或提早消失, 以及小孢子发育后期花药壁绒毡层的异常解体。认为N28S 的无花粉败育是由小孢子母细胞的细胞质异常引起的, 胼胝质壁和绒毡层的异常是结果而不是原因。

洋葱花药发育过程中的细胞化学研究(简报)

高等植物花药结构复杂,其发育更是一个迅速、多变的过程,如小孢子母细胞减数分裂期间的细胞质改组、胼胝质壁的形成与降解、大液泡的形成与消失、花粉内外壁的形成、绒毡层细胞的降解、营养物质的积累与转化等。除了上述花药组成细胞的形态和结构发生明显变化外。花药发育的另一个显著特点是以花粉为中心的营养物质单向运输和转化,尤其是小孢子有丝分裂形成二胞花粉后开始积累大量的营养储存物以供成熟花粉萌发时利用。     

枸杞花药发育过程中钙的分布

在枸杞花药发育过程中,用焦锑酸钾沉淀的钙颗粒显示出了一个与花药发育事件有关的分布特征：在孢原细胞时期的花药中钙颗粒很少。在造孢细胞到小孢子母细胞时期,花药中钙颗粒增加。当花粉母细胞进行减数分裂时,花药中的钙颗粒进一步增加,尤其是在小孢子母细胞的胼胝质壁中。在小孢子发育早期,花药药隔部位的绒毡层细胞质中钙颗粒也明显增加并特异性地分布在其内切向壁上。当小孢子被释放出后,钙颗粒开始特异性积累在正在形成的花粉外壁中,尤其在萌发孔的部位聚集了大量的钙颗粒。当小孢子形成大液泡时,其细胞质中的钙颗粒明显减少。在小孢子分裂形成二胞花粉后,在二胞花粉的大液泡中又特异性地出现许多细小钙颗粒。随着二胞花粉的大液泡完全消失,其细胞质中又出现了许多钙颗粒。接近开花时的成熟花粉粒细胞质中,细小的钙颗粒主要分布在营养细胞和生殖细胞中。枸杞花药发育过程中钙的分布特征反映了其参与调控花粉发育过程。     

水芹花药发育中Ca~(2+)分布特征研究

应用焦锑酸钾沉淀技术对水芹发育花药中的Ca~(2+)分布特征和生理功能进行分析。在小孢子母细胞的胼胝质壁中聚集了较多的钙沉淀颗粒,其他部位较少。小孢子母细胞减数分裂后,花药药壁和药隔组织中的钙沉淀颗粒明显增加。早期小孢子先在花粉外壁基柱层中聚集了较多的钙沉淀颗粒,在小孢子质膜与花粉外壁之间也特异性聚集了许多钙沉淀颗粒。在小孢子形成大液泡过程中,小孢子质膜内陷形成小液泡,钙沉淀颗粒被包裹到小液泡中,并被转移到大液泡中,显示Ca~(2+)参与了液泡的构建。小孢子不等分裂后,二胞花粉中的大液泡分解,细胞质内含物增加,积累营养储存物——淀粉和脂滴。花粉中的钙沉淀颗粒明显减少,而药壁的表皮和药室内壁细胞中的则增加。成熟花粉中钙沉淀颗粒很少,但在花粉外壁的基柱层空隙中仍有许多钙沉淀颗粒分布。水芹花粉中的Ca~(2+)分布的特点显示其在小孢子发育的液泡代谢过程具有重要的生理功能。     

洋葱花药发育中钙离子分布特征

采用焦锑酸钾沉淀钙离子技术,对洋葱（Alliumcepa）花药发育中Ca^2＋分布进行了研究。在小孢子母细胞时期,小孢子母细胞中的钙沉淀颗粒很少,但绒毡层细胞的内切向壁已出现明显的钙沉淀颗粒。在四分体时期,四分体小孢子的胼胝质壁中出现较多的钙沉淀颗粒;绒毡层细胞内切向壁的钙沉淀颗粒消失,而在外切向壁和径向壁部位的钙沉淀颗粒增加。在小孢子早期,小孢子中也出现了钙沉淀颗粒,而绒毡层细胞内切向壁表面出现了很多絮状物,其上附有细小钙沉淀颗粒。到小孢子晚期,小孢子中出现一些小液泡,细胞质中的钙沉淀颗粒有所下降。此时绒毡层细胞已明显退化,但在绒毡层膜上仍有一些乌氏体和钙沉淀颗粒。在二胞花粉早期,营养细胞中的液泡收缩、消失,细胞质中又出现了较多的钙沉淀颗粒,在质体和其内部的淀粉粒表面上附有较多的钙沉淀颗粒。到二胞花粉晚期,花粉中的钙沉淀颗粒已明显下降,仅在花粉外壁中还有一地钙沉淀颗粒．     

莴苣花药发育过程中钙的分布特征

减数分裂前,莴苣花药中的钙颗粒很少。减数分裂后,花药绒毡层细胞中的钙颗粒明显增加。同时在花药药室基质中也出现许多细小的钙颗粒。刚从四分体中释放出的小孢子内钙颗粒很少。伴随着花粉外壁物质在小孢子表面的沉积,钙颗粒开始积累在花粉壁部位。随后。小孢子中开始出现钙颗粒。当小孢子开始形成液泡后,钙颗粒向其中聚集,伴随着小液泡融合成大液泡。体积较大的钙颗粒主要集中在液泡中,而细胞质基质中的钙颗粒很少。随着二胞花粉中的大液泡消失,花粉细胞质中的钙颗粒变得很少。在以后的发育中,只有花粉壁中积累较多的钙颗粒。在莴苣花药发育过程中,钙与绒毡层细胞的退化和小孢子液泡形成以及二胞花粉中大液泡的消失有关。而花粉外壁表面积累丰富的钙与以后花粉的萌发有关。     

辣椒雄性不育系与可育系小孢子发生的细胞学观察

为了探讨辣椒雄性不育花药败育时期和方式,以辣椒雄性不育系1442A、13733A及其可育系为试材,进行了研究。结果发现：败育现象从造孢细胞时期以后每个阶段都有发生,败育形式有造孢细胞液泡化、畸形、拉长、细胞间隙大;绒毡层细胞径向过度伸长,高度液泡化,且出现多层细胞,严重挤压小孢子母细胞,解体较晚且充塞花粉囊室;薄壁细胞取代了药室内壁、中层、绒毡层和小孢子母细胞的分化;药室内壁、中层层数增加,绒毡层细胞肥大,造孢细胞或花粉母细胞分解解体;由于花粉母细胞胼胝质壁不降解而无法释放出四分体小孢子;染色浅、细胞质被降解成空壳的单核期小孢子因缺乏营养物质而败育。

Microspore development inBrassica napus and the effect of high temperature on division in vivo and in vitro

Summary Brassica napus cv. Topas microspores isolated and cultured near the first pollen mitosis and subjected to a heat treatment develop into haploid embryos at a frequency of about 20%. In order to obtain a greater understanding of the induction process and embryogenesis, transmission electron microscopy was used to study the development of pollen from the mid-uninucleate to the bicellular microspore stage. The effect of 24 h of high temperature (32.5 °C) on microspore development was examined by heat treating microspore cultures or entire plants. Mid-uninucleate microspores contained small vacuoles. Late-uninucleate vacuolate microspores contained a large vacuole. The large vacuole of the vacuolate stage was fragmented into numerous small vacuoles in the late-uninucleate stage. The late-uninucleate stage contained an increased number of ribosomes, a pollen coat covering the exine and a laterally positioned nucleus. Prior to the first pollen mitosis the nucleus of the lateuninucleate microspore appeared to be appressed to the plasma membrane; numerous perinuclear microtubules were observed. Microspores developing into pollen divided asymmetrically to form a large vegetative cell with amyloplasts and a small generative cell without plastids. The cells were separated by a lens-shaped cell wall which later diminished. At the late-bicellular stage the generative cell was observed within the vegetative cell. Starch and lipid reserves were present in the vegetative cell and the rough endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi were abundant. The microspore isolation procedure removed the pollen coat, but did not redistribute or alter the morphology of the organelles. Microspores cultured at 25 °C for 24 h resembled late-bicellular microspores except more starch and a thicker intine were present. A more equal division of microspores occurred during the 24 h heat treatment (32.5 °C) of the entire plant or of cultures. A planar wall separated the cells of the bicellular microspores. Both daughter cells contained plastids and the nuclei were of similar size. Cultured embryogenie microspores contained electron-dense deposits at the plasma membrane/cell wall interface, vesicle-like structures in the cell walls and organelle-free regions in the cytoplasm. The results are related to embryogenesis and a possible mechanism of induction is discussed.Abbreviations B binucleate - LU late uninucleate - LUV late uninucleate vacuolate - M mitotic - MU mid-uninucleate - RER rough endoplasmic reticulum - TEM transmission electron micrograph     

Behavior of vacuoles during microspore and pollen development in Arabidopsis thaliana

Using the cryo-fixation/freeze-substitution method, we studied the ultrastructural changes and behavior of vacuoles and related organelles (rER and Golgi bodies) during microspore and pollen development, and pollen maturation of Arabidopsis thaliana. In young microspores forming exine (pollen outer cell wall), vacuoles looked like those of somatic cells. In microspores during the formation of intine (inner cell wall), a large vacuole appeared which was made by fusion of pre-existing vacuoles and probably absorption of solutions. In the young pollen grain after the first mitosis, a large vacuole was divided into small vacuoles. The manner of division was not by binary fission and centripetally, but by the invagination of tonoplasts from one side to the opposite side of a vacuole. After the second mitosis, somatic type vacuoles disappeared. In mature pollen grains just before germination, membrane-bound structures containing fine fibrillar substances (MBFs) appeared. The MBFs were considered to be storage vacuoles. In pollen grains from flowers in bloom, MBFs changed to lysosomal structures with acid phosphatases (lytic vacuole). They gradually increased in number and volume, and decomposed the cytoplasm. The autolysis of pollen grains is the first finding in this study, which may contribute to the loss of ability of pollen germination after anthesis.

A glycine-rich protein that facilitates exine formation during tomato pollen development

Formation of the unique and highly diverse outer cell wall, or exine, of pollen is essential for normal pollen function and survival. However, little is known about the many contributing proteins and processes involved in the formation of this wall. The tomato gene LeGRP92 encodes for a glycine-rich protein produced specifically in the tapetum. LeGRP92 is found as four major forms that accumulate differentially in protein extracts from stamens at different developmental stages. The three largest molecular weight forms accumulated during early microspore development, while the smallest molecular weight form of LeGRP92 was present in protein extracts from stamens from early microsporogenesis through anther dehiscence, and was the only form present in dehisced pollen. Light microscopy immunolocalization experiments detected LeGRP92 at only two stages, late tetrad and early free microspore. However, we observed accumulation of the LeGRP92 at the early tetrad stage of development by removing the callose wall from tetrads, which allowed LeGRP92 detection. Transmission electron microscopy confirmed the LeGRP92 accumulation from microspore mother cells, tetrads through anther dehiscence. It was observed in the callose surrounding the microspore mother cells and tetrads, the exine of microspores and mature pollen, and orbicules. Plants expressing antisense RNA had reduced levels of LeGRP92 mRNA and protein, which correlated to pollen with altered exine formation and reduced pollen viability and germination. These data suggest that the LeGRP92 has a role in facilitating sporopollenin deposition and uniform exine formation and pollen viability.

Microsporogenesis and pollen formation in cassava

This article describes the complete microsporogenesis and pollen formation in cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) at the various developmental stages (pollen mother cell, meiosis, tetrads, early free spore, mid uninucleate, late uninucleate, binucleate and mature pollen grain). Light microscopy, transmission electron microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscopy were used for the study. Floral bud size and other inflorescence characteristics were correlated with specific stages of the microspore development. This association allows a rapid selection of floral buds with similar microspore developmental stages, useful when a large number of homogeneous cells are needed for analysis and for in vitro induction of androgenesis. This article also compares methods for digestion the exine wall in microspores.
