Seasonal Changes in the Structure of the Secondary Phloem of Grewia tiliaefolia, a Deciduous Tree from India

Structure of the secondary phloem of Grewia tillaefolia Roxb.was studied in samples of bark collected at monthly intervalsfrom forest populations of Gujarat in western India. The secondaryphloem in this species is vertically storied and the axial elementsoccur as alternate tangential bands of fibres and sieve elementsproduced in succession. On average, two to four bands of fibresand corresponding bands of sieve elements are produced in ayear. The sieve elements function for more than one season anddifferent phloem increments are separated by terminal zonesmade up of very narrow sieve elements which mature just beforeand immediately after the period of dormancy. The tree becomesleafless about eight to ten weeks preceding the spring equinox.Cambial activity, phloem differentiation and phloem functionare suspended during this period. Differentiation of phloembegins after bud break which occurs in April, and continuesuntil January, but most of the phloem is produced between Julyand September when the rainy season is well advanced. The widthof the conducting zone is maximal at the end of the period ofgrowth when the tree is in full leaf. Inactivation of sieveelements, apparently by callose plugging the sieve plates, beginswith leaf abscission. The sieve elements produced in the precedingseason, just before dormancy is imposed resume function in thefollowing growing season and the older elements die. Companioncells and axial parenchyma cells surrounding sieve elementsappear to have s significant role during senescence of the conductingelements. The development and activity of the secondary phloemseem to be related to other developmental phenomena occurringwithin the tree.     

Seasonal Variations of Secondary Phloem Development in Pterocarya Stenoptera and Its Relation to Feeding of Kerria yunnanensis

Early in April of 1987, cells in an undifferentiated state which overwintered on the phloem side of the cambial zone in the branch of Pterocarya stenoptera began to differentiate into merebets of phloem. Cambium divided actively in mid-April and ceased to decide by early-Novembet. Five to eleven bands of fibers alternating with the bands of sieve tubes, companion cells and phloem parenchyma cells produced every year. By mid to late April, new xylem differentiation began. Phloem and xylem differentiation ceased almost simultaneously. Functional sieve tube elements were present all the year round in the phloem. During winter, most sieve tubes produced in the current year ceased functioning, leaving only the zone of functional sieve tube of several rows of cells in width with open pores in the sieve plates. These sieve tubes did not collapse until mid-May. In October, several rows of partially differentiated sieve elements appeared near the cambial zone. They still possessed nuclei. The companion cells had produced but no P-protein. They matured during April of the following year and collapsed by July to September. The life span of sieve elements extended for 8 months at the most. In winter, there were less functional sieve tubes in the branch. This may be one of the reasons that only few Kerria yunnanensis survive on the branch of Pterocarya stenoptera.     

THE CAMBIUM AND SEASONAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE PHLOEM IN ROBINIA PSEUDOACACIA

The cambium in black locust consists of several layers of cells at all times. Cambial reactivation (division) is preceded by a decrease in density of cambial cell protoplasts and cell wall thickening but not by cell enlargement. During the resumption of cambial activity, periclinal divisions occur throughout the cambial zone. Early divisions contribute largely to the phloem side. The period of greatest cambial activity coincides with early wood formation. Judged by numerous collections made during two seasons (October, 1960-October, 1962) the seasonal cycle of phloem development is as follows. Phloem differentiation begins in early April, ends in late September. The amount of phloem produced is quite variable (range: 1-10 bands of sieve elements per year). Cessation of function begins with the accumulation of definitive callose in the first-formed sieve elements and spreads to those more recently formed. By late November all but the last-formed sieve elements are collapsed. All sieve elements are collapsed by mid-winter and before the resumption of new phloem production in spring. Phloem differentiation precedes xylem differentiation by at least 1 week, and apparently functional sieve elements are present 3 weeks before new functional vessel elements. Xylem and phloem production ends simultaneously in most trees.     

THE SEASONAL CYCLE OF PHLOEM DEVELOPMENT IN JUNIPERUS CALIFORNICA

In Juniperus californica, all sieve cells of the previous season's phloem growth increment overwinter in a mature state. Initiation of cambial activity begins in early March and, by the end of March, the oldest sieve cells that overwintered lose their contents and die. By mid-April, even the youngest sieve cells of the previous season's growth increment have lost their contents. The period of greatest cambial activity begins in the last half of April and continues through May. With the slowing of cambial activity in June, callose begins to collect on the sieve areas of the first-formed sieve cells of the new increment. By July, the cambium and phloem are in a dormant state. Initiation of phloem production precedes that of the xylem by about 1 month. Production of new xylem and phloem ceases simultaneously in July.     

Stem anatomy and development of inter- and intraxylary phloem in Leptadenia pyrotechnica (Forssk.) Decne. (Asclepiadaceae)

Modification of external morphology and internal structure of plants is a key feature of their successful survival in extreme habitats. They adapt to arid habitats not only by modifying their leaves, but also show several modifications in their conducting system. Therefore, the present study is aimed to investigate the pattern of secondary growth in Leptadenia pyrotechnica (Forssk.) Decne., (Asclepiadaceae), one such species growing in Kachchh district, an arid region of Gujarat State. A single ring of vascular cambium, responsible for radial growth, divided bidirectionally and formed the secondary xylem centripetally and the phloem centrifugally. After a short period of secondary xylem differentiation, small arcs of cambium began to form secondary phloem centripetally instead of secondary xylem. After a short duration of such secondary phloem formation, these segments of cambium resumed their normal function to produce secondary xylem internally. Thus, the phloem strands became embedded within the secondary xylem and formed interxylary phloem islands. Such a recurrent behavior of the vascular cambium resulted in the formation of several patches of interxylary phloem islands. In thick stems the earlier formed non-conducting interxylary phloem showed heavy accumulation of callose on the sieve plates followed by their crushing in response to the addition of new sieve elements. Development of intraxylary phloem is also observed from the cells situated on the pith margin. As secondary growth progresses further, small arcs of internal cambium get initiated between the protoxylem and intraxylary phloem. In the secondary xylem, some of the vessels are exceptionally thick-walled, which may be associated with dry habitats in order to protect the vessel from collapsing during the dryer part of the year. The inter- and intraxylary phloem may also be an adaptive feature to prevent the sieve elements to become non-conducting during summer when the temperature is much higher.     

Structure and development of sieve cells in the secondary phloem of Larix decidua Mill. as related to function

Summary Only one or two layers of sieve cells of the previous year's phloem in lateral branches of Larix decidua persist as fully mature cells. Immature sieve cells or cambial derivatives that have not completed differentiation may also over-winter. Periclinal cell divisions of the vascular cambium were first observed by mid-April. During the short period of greatest cambium activity (mid-April to mid-May), the early phloem is laid down. Late phloem is formed over a much longer period, from mid-May to late September. Microautoradiography revealed that only mature sieve cells of the early phloem are involved in translocation of ¹⁴C assimilates in June. The fine structure of actively translocating sieve cells is described. The impact of structure on long-distance transport of assimilates is discussed.     

Sieve-element characters of Myristicaceae: Nuclear crystals, S-and P-type plastids, nacreous walls

The phloem of the Myristicaceae is composed of sieve elements, parenchymatous cells, and fibers. Within the metaphloem and secondary phloem parenchymatic layers including prominent secretory elements alternate with tangential bands of fibers and layers composed of sieve elements, companion cells and phloem-parenchyma cells. among the latter the sieve elements are most abundant and easily identified by the presence of thick (nacreous) walls. The most characteristic feature of the sieve elements of Myristicaceae (and found nowhere else among the Magnoliiflorae) are nuclear crystals, which are released into the lumen during nuclear degeneration and persist in the mature cell. P-and S-type sieve-element plastids were recorded for the 18 species investigated. Both types of the plastid are characterized by large diameters and many medium-sized starch grains. The sizes and contents (small protein crystals only) of the P-type plastids of the Myristicaceae do not conform to the tiny P-type plastids (with large protein crystals) of the Annonaceae, a family to which the Myristicaceae is traditionally allied.     

Expression of the phloem lectin is developmentally linked to vascular differentiation in cucurbits

The conducting elements of phloem in angiosperms are a complex of two cell types, sieve elements and companion cells, that form a single developmental and functional unit. During ontogeny of the sieve element/companion cell complex, specific proteins accumulate forming unique structures within sieve elements. Synthesis of these proteins coincides with vascular development and was studied in Cucurbita seedlings by following accumulation of the phloem lectin (PP2) and its mRNA by RNA blot analysis, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, immunocytochemistry and in␣situ hybridization. Genes encoding PP2 were developmentally regulated during vascular differentiation in hypocotyls of Cucurbita maxima Duch. Accumulation of PP2 mRNA and protein paralleled one another during hypocotyl elongation, after which mRNA levels decreased, while the protein appeared to be stable. Both PP2 and its mRNA were initially detected during metaphloem differentiation. However, PP2 mRNA was detected in companion cells of both bundle and extrafascicular phloem, but never in differentiating sieve elements. At later stages of development, PP2 mRNA was most often observed in extrafascicular phloem. In developing stems of Cucurbita moschata L., PP2 was immunolocalized in companion cells but not to filamentous phloem protein (P-protein) bodies that characterize immature sieve elements of bundle phloem. In contrast, PP2 was immunolocalized to persistent ␣ P-protein bodies in sieve elements of the extrafascicular phloem. Immunolocalization of PP2 in mature wound sieve elements was similar to that in bundle phloem. It appears that PP2 is synthesized in companion cells, then transported into differentiated sieve elements where it is a component of P-protein filaments in bundle phloem and persistent P-protein bodies in extrafascicular phloem. This differential accumulation in bundle and extrafascicular elements may result from different functional roles of the two types of phloem. Received: 31 July 1996 / Accepted: 27 August 1996     

SOME ULTRASTRUCTURAL ASPECTS OF METAPHLOEM SIEVE ELEMENTS IN THE AERIAL STEM OF THE HOLOPARASITIC ANGIOSPERM EPIFAGUS VIRGINIANA (OROBANCHACEAE)

A light and electron microscope investigation was conducted on phloem in the aerial stem of Epifagus virginiana (L.) Bart. Tissue was processed at field collection sites in an effort to overcome problems resulting from manipulation. At variance with earlier accounts, Epifagus phloem consists of sieve elements, companion cells, phloem parenchyma cells, and primary phloem fibers. The sieve elements possess simple sieve plates and the phloem is arranged in a collateral type of vascular bundle. In addition, this constitutes the first study on phloem ultrastructure in the aerial stems of a holoparasitic dicotyledon, an entire plant which could be viewed as an “ideal sink.” Epifagus phloem possesses unoccluded sieve plate pores in mature sieve elements and a total lack of P-protein in sieve elements at all stages of development. Mature sieve elements lack nuclei. Plastids were rarely observed in mature sieve elements. Vacuoles with intact tonoplasts were encountered in some mature sieve elements. Otherwise, the ultrastructural features of sieve elements appear to differ little from those described by investigators of non-parasitic species.     

Secondary phloem anatomy of Cycadeoidea (Bennettitales)

Secondary phloem anatomy of several species of Cycadeoidea is described from trunks in the Wieland Collection, Peabody Museum of Natural History. The trunks were collected from the Lakota Formation, Lower Cretaceous, Black Hills of South Dakota. Secondary phloem is extensively developed and consists of alternating, tangential bands of fibers and sieve elements, with rare phloem parenchyma. Uniseriate rays, 2-22 cells high, occur between every one to three files of the axial system. Fibers are long, more than 1200 μm, approximately 26.6-34.2 μm in diameter, and have slit-like apertures on the lateral walls. Sieve elements range from 16-25 μm in diameter and are up to 500 μm long. Elliptical sieve areas appear on both end and radial walls and measure 10 μm across; minute spots, which may represent sieve pores, are present within the sieve areas. Secondary phloem of North American Cycadeoidea is similar in organization (alternating tangential bands) and cell types (sieve cells, fibers, axial parenchyma) to that known in other extant and fossil cycadophytes and some seed ferns. The unusual pattern of cell types and thickness of secondary phloem is discussed in the context of plant habit, phloem efficiency, and potential phylogenetic importance.
