南方红豆杉小孢子发生与雄配子体发育

采用石蜡切片法,对南方红豆杉小孢子发生及雄配子体发育过程进行了系统地观察。结果表明：南方红豆杉小孢子叶球于7月下旬分化,9月中旬形成造孢细胞,11月初形成小孢子母细胞;同一小孢子叶球中的小孢子母细胞表现出发育不同步现象;11中旬,进入减数分裂时期,形成游离小孢子后休眠越冬,于翌年1月下旬逐渐成熟,成熟花粉粒为单核;2月中下旬开始散粉,散粉时间持续15 d 左右。花粉落入胚珠后,经过3次分裂形成管细胞、柄细胞和2个精子;管细胞和柄细胞最终退化解体,未见花粉败育现象。认为南方红豆杉小孢子发生与雄配子体发育正常,不是致其濒危的主要原因。

Cytochemistry of pollen development in Brachypodium distachyon

Brachypodium distachyon is a widely recognized model plant belonging to subfamily Pooideae with a sequenced genome. To gain a better understanding of the male reproductive development in B. distachyon we examined pollen morphology and cytochemical changes of microspore cytoplasm from pollen mother cell stage to mature pollen using light, fluorescent and scanning electron microscopy. Our results show that B. distachyon exhibits a typical monocot-type pollen ontogeny. Meiosis in the pollen mother cells is accomplished by successive cytokinesis generating isobilateral tetrads. Cytochemical examination indicated that microspore cytoplasm contains variable amounts of insoluble carbohydrates and proteins at different developmental stages. Deposition of starch in the cytoplasm of microspores starts at the bicellular stage and continues till the mature pollen stage. The formation of the exine wall progresses by the deposition of sporopollenin from the tapetum layer of the anther. The mature pollen is trinucleate, spheroidal in shape and possesses a single pore with an annulus and operculum. The exine pattern is smooth and of granular type.

Ultrastructure of microsporogenesis and microgametogenesis in Campsis radicans (L.) Seem. (Bignoniaceae)

In the present study, microsporogenesis, microgametogenesis and pollen wall ontogeny in Campsis radicans (L.) Seem. were studied from sporogenous cell stage to mature pollen using transmission electron microscopy. To observe the ultrastructural changes that occur in sporogenous cells, microspores and pollen through progressive developmental stages, anthers at different stages of development were fixed and embedded in Araldite. Microspore and pollen development in C. radicans follows the basic scheme in angiosperms. Microsporocytes secrete callose wall before meiotic division. Meiocytes undergo meiosis and simultaneous cytokinesis which result in the formation of tetrads mostly with a tetrahedral arrangement. After the development of free and vacuolated microspores, respectively, first mitotic division occurs and two-celled pollen grain is produced. Pollen grains are shed from the anther at two-celled stage. Pollen wall formation in C. radicans starts at tetrad stage by the formation of exine template called primexine. By the accumulation of electron dense material, produced by microspore, in the special places of the primexine, first of all protectum then columellae of exine elements are formed on the reticulate-patterned plasma membrane. After free microspore stage, exine development is completed by the addition of sporopollenin from tapetum. Formation of intine layer of pollen wall starts at the late vacuolated stage of pollen development and continue through the bicellular pollen stage.

Anther structure and pollen development in Melicoccus lepidopetalus (Sapindaceae): An evolutionary approach to dioecy in the family

Anther and pollen development in staminate and pistillate flowers of dioecious Melicoccus lepidopetalus (Sapindaceae) were examined by light and electron microscopy. Young anthers are similar in both types of flowers; they consist of epidermis, endothecium, two to four middle layers and a secretory tapetum. The microspore tetrads are tetrahedral. The mature anther in staminate flowers presents compressed epidermal cells and endothecium cells with fibrillar thickenings. A single locule is formed in the theca by dissolution of the septum and pollen grains are shed at two-celled stage. The mature anthers of pistillate flowers differ anatomically from those of staminate flowers. The epidermis is not compressed, the endothecium does not develop fibrillar thickenings, middle layers and tapetum are generally persisting, and the stomium is nonfunctional. Microspore degeneration begins after meiosis of microspore mother cells. At anthesis, uninucleate microspores and pollen grains with vegetative and generative nuclei with no cytokinesis are observed. Some pollen walls display an abnormal exine deposition, whereas others show a well formed exine, although both are devoid of intine. These results suggest that in the evolution towards unisexuality, the developmental differences of anther wall tissues and pollen grains between pistillate and staminate flowers might become more pronounced in a derived condition, such as dioecy.     

POLLEN AND TAPETUM DEVELOPMENT IN DESMODIUM GLUTINOSUM AND D. ILLINOENSE (PAPILIONOIDEAE; LEGUMINOSAE)

Each of the four microsporangia has three or four wall layers, a uninucleate tapetum of various cell shapes with nuclei that remain in prophase, and 12-24 pollen mother cells (PMCs). A sterile transverse septum sometimes bisects the microsporangium. PMCs secrete callose but not uniformly, and contact among them continues through meiosis. Simultaneous cytokinesis by furrowing isolates each microspore in callose, which later disperses. The separated microspores become vacuolate, undergo mitosis to become pollen, and later become filled with food reserves. Endothecial wall thickening and tapetal dissolution occur after pollen engorgement. Calcium oxalate crystals form in tapetal cells during the sporogenous stage, reach maximum size during early meiosis, and remain prominent until tapetal dissolution.
