The transmitting tract in Trimezia fosteriana (Iridaceae). 1. Ultrastructure in the stigma, style and ovary

An ultrastructural investigation of the entire transmitting tract in Trimezia fosteriana (Iridaceae) was undertaken. The transmitting tissue is secretory but transfer cells do not occur at any level. With exception for the stigma papillae, the cells are covered with large amounts of secretory products. The papillae have a thick and ridged cuticle. The cuticle in the rest of the transmitting tract is thin and detached from the cell wall by the secretory products. It is more or less ruptured in the secretory parts of the stigma and ovary. In the stylar canal the major part of the cuticle is continuous and covers the secretory products. The occurence of a large amount of vesicles in the stigma transmitting tissue cells is interpreted as a result of high dictyosome activity. An electron opaque material is produced in the dictyosomes and appears in vesicles and vacuoles but also between the plasma membrane and the cell walls in the stigma. A small amount of such material is present in the cell walls. Corresponding material is also present in the style and the ovary but declines basipetally. Plastids with strongly electron opaque plastoglobules are present at all levels in the transmitting tract.

POSTGENITAL CARPEL FUSION IN CATHARANTHUS ROSEUS (APOCYNACEAE). I. LIGHT AND SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDY OF GYNOECIAL ONTOGENY

The detailed ontogeny of postgenital fusions within the gynoecium of Catharanthus roseus was investigated. The basal margins of the young carpel primordia infold and fuse together to seal shut the loculi. Independently, the opposing distal tips of the two carpels also unite, with the fusion region subsequently developing into the stigma, style, and a small distal region of the compound ovary. The basal ovary regions of the two opposing carpels remain unfused, thus leaving the tip fusion spatially restricted. In the region of contact, cells with distinctively epidermal features progressively lose their epidermal character after their participation in the fusion. In the fused stigma these former epidermal cells redifferentiate into transmitting and secretory tissues; in the fused style these cells undergo a tremendous expansion in length while forming stylar transmitting tissue; but in the compound ovary region corresponding cells experience little expansion or redifferentiation. It is concluded that the loss of epidermal features or the occurrence of periclinal cell divisions in the epidermis is a definitive indication that cells have fused postgenitally. However, studies with the transmission electron microscope are necessary to detect the first indications of a postgenital fusion. The compound ovary region within the gynoecium of C. roseus is a tissue appropriate for a high resolution ultrastructural study of the cytological events accompanying postgential tissue fusion because the fusion occurs quickly and little subsequent cell expansion takes place within this region.     

STIGMA,STYLE, AND OBTURATOR OF SOYBEAN,GLYCINE MAX (L.) MERR. (LEGUMINOSAE) AND THEIR FUNCTION IN THE REPRODUCTIVE PROCESS

Soybeans have a wet stigma overtopped by a pellicle that originates from the cuticle. There are numerous exudate-filled, axially oriented channels between cells of the transmitting tissue in the stigma and style. Pollen tubes grow in these channels and receive nutrition and mechanical guidance. Transmitting-tissue cells of the obturator are secretory also, but the obturator in soybean does not appear to control direction of pollen tube growth mechanically. The significant function of transmitting tissue in soybeans is to provide nutrition and to control direction of pollen tube growth.     

GYNOECIAL DEVELOPMENT,POLLINATION, AND THE PATH OF POLLEN TUBE GROWTH IN THE TEPARY BEAN,PHASEOLUS ACUTIFOLIUS

The gynoecium of Phaseolus acutifolius var. latifolius, a self-compatible legume, is characterized by a wet non-papillate stigma, an intermeditae hollow/solid style type, and secretory cells on the ventral surface of the ovary which direct pollen tube growth. The stigma is initially receptive 5–6 days prior to anthesis. Production of stigmatic secretions, composed primarily of carbohydrates and lipids, fragment the cuticle covering epidermal cells of the stigma early in ontogeny; the lipidic aspect of the copious secretions apparently serves to inhibit desiccation after the cuticle is ruptured. Stylar canal development occurs as a combination of elongation of a basal canal present early in development, and dissolution of part of a solid transmitting tract tissue just below the stigma. Anthers dehisce and the tricolporate pollen is released onto the receptive stigma one day before anthesis. Following initial growth in intercellular spaces in the transmitting tract of the stigma, pollen tubes adhere to epidermal secretory cells along the ventral side of the stylar canal and upper ovary; here the transmitting tract is apparently limited in the number of tubes it can accommodate, providing a possible site of selection of male gametes.     

Developmental Aspects of Ultrastructure, Histochemistry and Receptivity of the Stigma of Nicotiana sylvestris

The bilobed papillate stigma of Nicotiana sylvestris Speg. andComes, is covered at maturity with a copious exudate containinglipid, protein and carbohydrate. The stigma is receptive fromthe very early stage of development and it also stains positivelyfor esterase activity. The stigma has three distinct zones:an epidermis with papillae; a subepidermal secretory zone; anda parenchymatous ground tissue. The behaviour of the cells ofthese three zones has been followed from 6 d before anthesisto one day after anthesis and pollination. The cells of theepidermis and the secretory zone stain intensively for lipids,proteins and carbohydrates in the initial stages. The secretoryzone develops large intercellular spaces containing heterogenoussecretory products which also stain positively for the aforesaidthree compounds. At maturity the secretory products are releasedto the surface through gaps formed in the epidermis by cellseparation. The main secretion of the stigma is produced bythe cells of the secretory zone. Less secretion is derived fromthe stigmatic papillae. Some amount of secretion is also releasedfrom the stylar transmitting tissue adjoining the stigma. Theglandular cells of the stigma contain numerous plastids, mitochondria,ribosomes, ER, cytoplasmic lipid droplets and some dictyosomes.The plastids and the vacuoles in the secretory cells of thestigma have a lot of electron dense (osmiophilic) inclusionsrespectively in the initial and later stages of development.The former are probably involved in the production of thesematerials. It is suggested that the proteins are directly secretedby rough ER compartments whereas smooth ER is involved in thesynthesis of lipidic materials. The carbohydrate moiety of theexudate is released by the eccrine mode (sugar mono- and dimers)with some addition of polymers by disintegration of the middlelamellae. The means by which the lipidic and osmiophilic materialis extruded remains unclear. Nicotiana sylvestris, stigma receptivity, organization, stigmatic secretory system, stigmatic exudate     

Stigma development in Nicotiana tabacum. Cell death in transgenic plants as a marker to follow cell fate at high resolution

Pistil development was studied in transgenic tobacco plants in which the stigma is ablated by expression of a stigma-specific cytotoxic gene. These plants offer a tool to investigate the process of differentiation of the secretory zone, in that cell death caused by barnase activity provides a marker to follow cell fate at high resolution. After fusion of the carpel walls in the region most distal from the ovary, the epidermal cells begin to divide in both wild-type and stigmaless plants. Divisions of the L1 layer of the pistil are immediately followed by the morphogenetic events that lead to three different cell types: rounded-angular cells showing an equal number of anti- and periclinal divisions, cells that are more oblong forming the transition zone, and the square cells of the transmitting tissue dividing mostly anticlinally with respect to the original carpel wall. In the stigmaless plants, cell death caused by the expression ofSTIG 1-barnase begins at stage –1 and proceeds gradually, but is always associated with round epidermal cells and with angular-rounded cells underneath them. Studies at the ultrastructural level show that cell death caused by barnase activity occurs first in solitary cells and gradually extends to groups of cells.In situ hybridizations using the STIG 1 RNA probe in wild-type pistils confirm these results. Most likely, the cells in whichSTIG 1 is expressed are those that have just differentiated into the secretory cell type. Our results indicate that the transition zone or neck is autonomously differentiated from the secretory zone and the transmitting tissue. Furthermore, our results indicate that in both wild-type and stigmaless pistils secretion of lipids most likely occurs through the plasmodesmata. This observation suggests that bulk transport can occur via plasmodesmata.
