植物对硼的吸收、转运及其遗传调控(综述)

硼是植物生长发育必需的一种微量营养元素,缺硼和硼毒害是国内外农业生产中普遍存在的问题,不仅影响产量,而且还会降低品质。近年来,植物的硼吸收和转运机制研究取得较大进展,从而为基因工程改良植物的缺硼和硼毒害奠定了重要基础。本文就植物对硼的吸收和转运机制以及植物对缺硼和硼毒害耐性的遗传调控研究概况进行综述。     

硼营养与植物细胞壁关系的研究进展

植物必需的７种微量元素中,植物缺硼最为普遍,因而引起人们的广泛关注。半个多世纪以来,学者们对硼的生理功能和硼肥应用进行了广泛的研究,为农业生产作出了重大贡献。但由于硼元素的特殊性,至今对硼在植物体内的存在形式和基本生理功能仍不十分清楚。不同植物的缺硼症状尽管各不相同,但一个显著的共同特征就是根尖和茎尖的伸长首先受到抑制。顶端生长依赖于细胞分裂和细胞伸长,由此可见,硼必然首先影响分生组织的细胞分裂和细胞伸长。硼对细胞分裂的影响已进行了大量的研究。Ｗｈｉｔｔｉｎｇｔｏｎ〔１〕曾报道缺硼减少大豆有丝分…

小麦核仁的超微结构在细胞周期中的变化

应用整体银染技术在电镜下对小麦（Ｔｒｉｔｉｃｕｍ ａｅｓｔｉｖｕｍ Ｌ．）根端分生细胞核仁在细胞周期中的超微结构变化进行了研究。结果显示,间期核仁染色很深,能够区分出纤维中心、密集纤维成分、颗粒成分和核仁液泡等结构;染色质上也布满大量染色浅的细小银粒。前期,随着核仁的解体和染色质的集缩,染色质的边缘逐渐出现深染的大颗粒;到前期末时,大量的核仁物质向染色体周围扩散并附着到其表面。中期染色体的周边分布着来自解体核仁的银染大颗粒,形成一个不大均匀也不完全连续的“鞘”状结构。后期仍可见这种“鞘”状结构的存在。进入末期,这些银染核仁物质逐渐由“鞘”脱离,彼此融合形成前核仁体,最后参与新核仁的形成。这些结果表明,核仁解体后的物质直接转移到了染色体的表面,并形成一个不连续的表层,没有进入染色体内部;染色体内部的银染颗粒与核仁及其解体物质无关     

在分化条件下甜菊愈伤组织分生区细胞超微结构研究

对甜菊（Ｓｔｅｖｉａｒｅｂａｕｄｉａｎａ）愈伤组织中尚未发生器官分化的分生细胞团进行了超微结构研究．结果表明,在器官分化条件下,愈伤组织中形成的分生区域的细胞体积小,细胞核大,核仁明显,且具核仁泡,部分细胞核中含有核内含物．大量小液泡分布在细胞的边周或散布于整个细胞中．液泡中通常含有陷入的细胞质成分和膜状物．部分液泡的形成与内质网膨大有密切关系．同时也观察到由内质网形成的多圈膜和双层膜包围细胞质成分的同心环结构．高尔基体及其小泡丰富,有时聚集分布在细胞某一区域．核糖体密集,有的聚集成多聚核糖体．因此,愈伤组织中分生区的细胞与分生组织中的液泡化和分裂的细胞类似．分生区细胞的另一明显特征是出现质膜内陷．推测这些超微结构特征可能反映了甜菊愈伤组织器官分化前的某些形态变化。

蚕豆细胞核仁和核质中剪接因子SC35的定位研究

本文以蚕豆(Vicia faba L.)根端分生组织细胞为材料,以抗SC35抗体为探针,在电镜下对SC35在高等植物细胞中的存在与否和分布特点进行了研究,发现经抗SC35抗体标记后,标明SC35位置的胶体金颗粒主要分布于核仁的致密纤维组分(DFC)、核质的染色质间颗粒(IGs)和染色质周边纤维处(PFs),而核仁的纤维中心(FC)、核仁液泡和集缩染色质团块中央部位的金颗粒很少。DFC, IGs和PFs处的金颗粒平均密度分别为65.89个/μm~2和36.28个/μm~2,远远高于集缩染色质团块中央部位以及FC和核仁液泡处的金颗粒平均密度(分别为5.90个/μm~2和6.26个/μm~2)。说明蚕豆细胞核仁的DFC,核质的IGs和PFs处富含剪接因子SC35。本文研究结果表明,SC35或SC35类蛋白在蚕豆细胞核质中的分布与其在哺乳动物细胞核质中的分布规律相似。同时本文首次报道了SC35或SC35类蛋白存在于核仁中。

Evolution of the rat oocyte nucleolus during follicular growth

The ultrastructural evolution of the nucleolus was followed during follicular growth by means of a silver staining procedure. The oocyte nucleolus in the primordial and primary follicles consists of strands of dense fibrillar silver-stained component and aggregates of granules which are devoid of silver grains. Small fibrillar centres are also recognized and appear to have less silver stainability. At the secondary follicle stage, a new nucleolar component appears in the reticulated oocyte nucleolus. This component is devoid of silver grains. During follicle growth, at the antral follicle stage, this new component seems to fuse and the nucleolus becomes constituted of a compact homogeneous mass which exhibits a vacuole at the end of the oocyte maturation. The results obtained suggest that this nucleolar mass is essentially made of proteins and particularly of acidic proteins.     

Correlation of nucleolar activity and nucleolar vacuolation in plant cells

In root meristematic cells nucleolar structure varies with the cell cycle. Apart from normal meristematic nucleoli one finds nucleoli with a big central vacuole surrounded by a loose cortex with individual fibrillar centres [22] clearly visible within it. There are also intermediate structures between both nucleolar types. In Pisum sativum nuclear tissue, the structure of the vacuolated nucleoli is similar and appears in periods of high metabolic activity during megasporogenesis. In both tissues, vacuolated nucleoli incorporate tritiated uridine more actively than 'normal' nucleoli. In this work the structure of spontaneous nucleolar vacuoles is compared with that induced by drugs such as cordycepin, and FUdR. The vacuolated nucleolus with its increased surface corresponds to a transient structure which not only shows higher metabolic activity but also supplies a storing and/or transporting mechanism for nucleolar products.     

Ultrastructural Distribution of DNA within Plant Meristematic Cell Nucleoli during Activation and the Subsequent Inactivation by a Cold Stress

We have investigated the precise location of DNA within the meristematic cell nucleolus ofZea maysroot cells andPisum sativumcotyledonary buds, in the course of their activation and induced inactivation following a subsequent treatment at low temperature. For this purpose, we combined the acetylation method, providing an excellent distinction between the various nucleolar components, with thein situterminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-immunogold technique, a highly sensitive method for detecting DNA at the ultrastructural level. In addition to the presence of DNA in the condensed chromatin associated with the nucleolus, we demonstrated that a significant label was detected in the nucleolus of quiescent cells in both plant models. Evident labels were also found in the dense fibrillar component of actived nucleoli. Whereas in inactivated nucleoli no significant label was observed within the dense fibrillar component, an intense label was seen over the large heterogeneous fibrillar centres only during inactivation. The granular component was never significantly labelled. These results appear to indicate that the DNA present in the dense fibrillar component of activated nucleoli withdraws from this structure during its inactivation and becomes incorporated in the large fibrillar centres. These observations suggest that in plant cells inactivation of rRNA genes is clearly accompanied by changes in the conformation of ribosomal chromatin.     

Ultrastructure and behavior of the nucleoli and fibrillar centers during cell differentiation of liver erythroblasts of 12-day-old mouse embryos

The transformation of nucleolus and its structural components in the main groups of erythroid cells (from pronormoblasts to reticulocytes and dividing ones) has been studied. It is shown that during inactivation of the nucleolus, the granular component is reduced, and the degree of chromatin condensation increases. Enlargement and "naking" of fibrillar centres are also observed. At the stage of basophilic and polychromatophilic erythroblasts, the nucleolus has a mushroom-like shape with well developed fibrillar centres, which lie at the border of the nucleolus. Nucleolar RNP components consist predominantly of a fibrillar component and forms "caps" of these mushroom-like structures. Therefore, at this stage "free" fibrillar centres are found on ultrathin sections, if the section plane runs only through the fibrillar centre, or through ring-shaped nucleoli, i.e. the fibrillar centre surrounded by sheet of nucleolar RNP fibrilles, when the mushroom-like nucleolus is cut tangentially. Using serial section technique, small round nucleoli with an extremely weakly developed RNP material or free fibrillar centres, resembling those in telophase nuclei, are shown on the terminal stage of nucleolus transformation. It is noted that the main groups of erythroid cells differ from each other not only in the chromatin condensation degree, but also in the development of nucleolus material and in the size of fibrillar centres. However, such differences exist in either cell group. Consequently, we can distinguish between cell populations being on different stages of maturation. On this basis, we described on intermediate population of cells, which possess signs of pronormoblasts and basophilic erythroblasts. In all the cases, strands of electron opaque material bound with the condensed chromatin are present in fibrillar centres.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Effects of 2-mercapto-1-(beta-4-pyridethyl)-benzimidazole (MPB) on Ehrlich cell nucleoli: stereological analysis

The effects of MPB, a strong inhibitor of RNA synthesis, have been analysed at the ultrastructural level by means of stereological methods. After treatment, an increase in the nucleolar volume is observed. This enlargement is due to vacuolization of the nucleoli. However, the relative volumes of the nucleolar components are modified in various directions: the volume of the granular component decreases whereas the fibrillar centres increase in size. These results are discussed in terms of relations between morphology and function of the nucleolus.
