植物体细胞胚发生中ATP酶活性时空分布动态与内源激素的变化

本文以我们的研究结果为基础,并结合国内外近几年有关研究报道,对植物体细胞胚发生中的超策结构和ATP酶活性时空分布动脉及内源激素的变化和作用进行专题评述。（1）超微结构的变化：当植物体细胞一量转化为胚性细胞后,各种细胞器相继增加,不仅丰富而且活跃,特别是线粒体内发达,有的正处于分裂状态;核糖体聚集成多聚核糖体;质体中含大量淀粉粒,接着出现高尔基体等。早期胚性细胞与周围细胞还存在胞间连丝,随着胚性细胞壁的加厚,胞间连丝也随之消失。（2）ATP酶时空分布动态：早期的胚性细胞中ATP酶反应产物主要沉积于质和液泡上,后期ATP酶活性转入细胞内,液泡和细胞核中,而且在胚性细胞壁加厚处有活跃的A5P酶活性反应,并证明ATP酶活性是在胚性细胞发生过程中形成的。（3）内源激素的变化与作用：在体细胞胚诱导过程中内源激素起着关键性作用,内源生长素含量的提高为胚性细胞的诱导奠定了基础,细胞分裂素含量的增加可促进胚性细胞的分裂和增殖,ABA不仅提高了体细胞胚的诱导频率,而且促进了体细胞胚的正常发育。

枸杞体细胞胚发生中Ca2+和ATPase的超微结构定位研究

研究2,4-D诱导枸杞体细胞胚发生中的作用及其与Ca~(2+)含量和ATPase活性时空分布动态之间的关系,以探讨2,4-D诱导植物体细胞胚发生的作用机理。采用超微细胞化学定位的方法,跟踪分析了体细胞胚发生与发育的不同时期,Ca~(2+)和ATPase活性的时空分布动态。结果表明:2,4-D是诱导离体培养的枸杞体细胞进入胚胎状态的关键激素。在含有2,4-D和不含2,4-D的培养条件下,分别诱导枸杞体细胞脱分化后,再转入除去2,4-D的MS培养基上,进行分化培养,结果前者可分化形成体细胞胚,因而称为胚性愈伤组织。后者在相同条件却不能分化形成胚,故称为非胚性愈伤组织。在2,4-D诱导枸杞的胚性愈伤组织中,胚性细胞分化早期的细胞间隙和细胞壁上均有Ca~(2+)沉淀。随着胚性细胞的分化、分裂和多细胞原胚形成,这时Ca~(2+)在细胞内的分布主要集中在细胞膜和液泡膜上;球形胚期在细胞核中Ca~(2+)呈弥散性分布。在此过程中,ATPase活性时空分布与Ca~(2+)的定位变化具有高度一致性,仅仅稍滞后于Ca~(2+)出现的时间。而在胚性细胞分化早期,ATPase活性同样位于质膜上,随后在液泡和细胞核都可见ATPase活性分布。而在非胚性愈伤组织中,则未见Ca~(2+)和ATPase活性呈时空动态分布,而且随着非胚性细胞的液泡化,无论是Ca~(2+)含量,还是ATPase活性都呈逐渐降低的趋势。表明Ca~(2+)和ATPase活性变化与2,4-D诱导的胚性细胞分化和发育密切相关。并由此推测,Ca~(2+)和ATPase的时空分布对胚性细胞分化中的信息传递和调控相关基因表达起着关键性作用。

报道了西瓜（Citrullus lanatus)胚乳吸器发育过程,并对胚乳吸器细胞中的ATP酶进行了超微细胞化学定位,球形胚早期,胚囊合点端的壁伸长发育成一管状胚乳吸器,进而吸器靠近乳本体端膨大为囊状,球形胚晚期吸器自珠孔端向合点端逐渐细胞化,胚分化出子叶时,胚乳吸器自合点端向珠孔端退化,在刚形成的胚乳吸器细胞中,ATP酶活性反应主要分布在细胞的核膜,内质网上,胞间连丝和吸器细胞壁内的小球状物上也有较强的ATP酶活性反应;在开始退化的吸器细胞中,核膜上的ATP酶性的反应减弱较早,内质网稍晚,进一步退化的胚乳吸器细胞中,ATP酶主要集中分布在细胞壁,细胞间隙内,核上几乎没有ATP酶性反应,内质网上仅有微弱的ATP酶反应。     

渗透胁迫引起玉米根冠处胞间连丝的ATP酶活性下降

利用光镜和电镜研究了短期渗透胁迫下玉米(Zea mays L.)根冠区超微结构和ATP酶活性变化。经历了质壁分离后,在根冠细胞仍然可以观察到许多从“撤退”的周质出发向细胞壁辐射的纤丝。利用ATP酶活性产物(磷酸铅)在原生质膜和细胞壁处沉积的特点,发现这些纤丝是质膜围绕原生质而形成的管状结构;在质壁分离过程中,这些纤丝依然与胞间连丝相连。与对照(未胁迫)相比,受渗透胁迫细胞胞间连丝处ATP酶活性明显下降。能量代谢在局部区段的抑制会影响胞间连丝的生理活性,可能包括胞间连丝的扩散调节能力和分子扩散上限的改变。     

Cellular and molecular changes associated with somatic embryogenesis induction in Agave tequilana

In spite of the importance of somatic embryogenesis for basic research in plant embryology as well as for crop improvement and plant propagation, it is still unclear which mechanisms and cell signals are involved in acquiring embryogenic competence by a somatic cell. The aim of this work was to study cellular and molecular changes involved in the induction stage in calli of Agave tequilana Weber cultivar azul in order to gain more information on the initial stages of somatic embryogenesis in this species. Cytochemical and immunocytochemical techniques were used to identify differences between embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells from several genotypes. Presence of granular structures was detected after somatic embryogenesis induction in embryogenic cells; composition of these structures as well as changes in protein and polysaccharide distribution was studied using Coomassie brilliant blue and Periodic Acid-Schiff stains. Distribution of arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) and pectins was investigated in embryogenic and non-embryogenic cells by immunolabelling using anti-AGP monoclonal antibodies (JIM4, JIM8 and JIM13) as well as an anti-methyl-esterified pectin-antibody (JIM7), in order to evaluate major modifications in cell wall composition in the initial stages of somatic embryogenesis. Our observations pointed out that induction of somatic embryogenesis produced accumulation of proteins and polysaccharides in embryogenic cells. Presence of JIM8, JIM13 and JIM7 epitopes were detected exclusively in embryogenic cells, which supports the idea that specific changes in cell wall are involved in the acquisition of embryogenic competence of A. tequilana.

Auxin-induced WUS expression is essential for embryonic stem cell renewal during somatic embryogenesis in Arabidopsis

Somatic embryogenesis requires auxin and establishment of the shoot apical meristem (SAM). WUSCHEL ( WUS ) is critical for stem cell fate determination in the SAM of higher plants. However, regulation of WUS expression by auxin during somatic embryogenesis is poorly understood. Here, we show that expression of several regulatory genes important in zygotic embryogenesis were up-regulated during somatic embryogenesis of Arabidopsis. Interestingly, WUS expression was induced within the embryonic callus at a time when somatic embryos could not be identified morphologically or molecularly. Correct WUS expression, regulated by a defined critical level of exogenous auxin, is essential for somatic embryo induction. Furthermore, it was found that auxin gradients were established in specific regions that could then give rise to somatic embryos. The establishment of auxin gradients was correlated with the induced WUS expression. Moreover, the auxin gradients appear to activate PIN1 polar localization within the embryonic callus. Polarized PIN1 is probably responsible for the observed polar auxin transport and auxin accumulation in the SAM and somatic embryo. Suppression of WUS and PIN1 indicated that both genes are necessary for embryo induction through their regulation of downstream gene expression. Our results reveal that establishment of auxin gradients and PIN1-mediated polar auxin transport are essential for WUS induction and somatic embryogenesis. This study sheds new light on how auxin regulates stem cell formation during somatic embryogenesis.     

Structural diversity of Papaver somniferum L. cell surfaces in vitro depending on particular steps of plant regeneration and morphogenetic program

Culture of Papaver somniferum in vitro was used for a characterisation of cell surface structures and mode of cell adhesion and cell separation during cell differentiation and plant regeneration in somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis. In early stages of somatic embryogenesis, cell type-specific and developmentally regulated change of cell morphogenesis was demonstrated. Cell wall of separated embryonic cells were self-covered with external tubular network, whereas morphogenetic co-ordination of adhered cells of somatic proembryos was supported by fine and fibrillar external cell wall continuum of peripheral cells, interconnecting also local sites of cell separation. Such type of cell contacts disappeared during histogenesis, when the protodermis formation took place. Tight cell adhesion of activated cells with polar cell wall thickening, and production of extent mucilage on the periphery were the crucial aspects of meristemoids. Fine amorphous layer covered developing shoot primordia, but we have not observed such comparable external fibrillar network. On the contrary intercellular separation of differentiated cells in regenerated organs, and accepting distinct developmental system of somatic embryogenesis and shoot organogenesis, cell adhesion in early stages and ultrastructural changes associated with tissue disorganisation, and the subsequent reorganisation into either embryos or shoots appear to be regulatory morphogenetical events of plant regeneration in vitro.

Embryo production through somatic embryogenesis can be used to study cell differentiation in plants

Somatic embryogenesis is the process by which somatic cells, under induction conditions, generate embryogenic cells, which go through a series of morphological and biochemical changes that result in the formation of a somatic embryo. Somatic embryogenesis differs from zygotic embryogenesis in that it is observable, its various culture conditions can be controlled, and a lack of material is not a limiting factor for experimentation. These characteristics have converted somatic embryogenesis into a model system for the study of morphological, physiological, molecular and biochemical events occurring during the onset and development of embryogenesis in higher plants; it also has potential biotechnological applications. The focus of this review is on embryo development through somatic embryogenesis and especially the factors affecting cell and embryo differentiation.
