枸杞胚性细胞分化的超微结构和ATP酶的细胞化学定位研究

枸杞的胚性细胞多由愈伤组织表层的薄壁细胞分化而来,与愈伤组织中未分化的细胞相比,胚性细胞呈卵圆形,细胞核大,核仁明显,细胞质浓厚并含有丰富的细胞器,细胞壁较薄,细胞间有胞间连丝相通;胚性细胞发育到晚期细胞壁加厚,胞间连丝逐渐消失,细胞核向一端偏移,有大液泡形成;胚性细胞的第一次分裂多为均等分裂,形成二细胞原胚,继续分裂形成多细胞原胚;组成多细胞原胚胚体的细胞核大,核形状不规则,细胞质浓厚,细胞器丰富,在质体中出现淀粉的积累。在胚性细胞发育的早期,ATP酶活性主要位于质膜上,随后在液泡内和细胞核中都出现ATP酶活性的分布;随着胚性细胞壁的加厚,细胞壁加厚处和细胞间隙中也出现ATP酶活性反应;当多细胞原胚形成后,ATP酶活性反应主要定位于液泡膜上。由此分析了结构特征、ATP酶活性定位变化与胚性细胞分化的关系。

鹤顶兰珠心细胞程序性死亡的超微结构研究

应用电子显微镜对鹤顶兰(Phaius tankervilliae(Aiton)Bl.)珠心细胞进行了观察,结果发现,珠心细胞程序死亡(programmed cell death,PCD)过程中伴随着液泡破裂、染色质凝聚、细胞质解体等明显特征。在鹤顶兰功能大孢子形成之前,大孢子母细胞的侧细胞壁存在明显的内突。随着胚囊体积的逐渐增大,衰退珠心细胞残留的细胞壁叠合在一起,从而使胚囊壁不断加厚。胚囊成熟前,合点端珠心细胞与胚囊之间有胞间连丝相连。合点端珠心细胞的细胞质状态,特别是液泡形态与大孢子母细胞、功能大孢子、成熟胚囊时期的细胞状态高度相似。结果表明,衰退的珠心细胞不仅为胚囊的扩大提供空间,同时也为胚囊的发育提供营养,合点端珠心细胞对胚囊发育内环境的稳定性起着重要的屏障作用。

小麦珠心细胞的超微结构研究

本文报道衰退前的珠心细胞在发育过程中的超微结构变化。大多数珠心表皮细胞和离胚囊较远的珠心细胞有较大的核质比,细胞质中游离核糖蛋白体的密度较大;线粒体和质体数量较多,形态上也有较大变化;有具活跃分泌功能的高尔基体和少量或长或短的粗糙内质网槽库;细胞中有或多或少的小液泡,其中常常含有被消化的细胞质碎片;细胞壁上有很多纹孔和胞间联丝与邻近细胞相通。在离胚囊稍近的珠心细胞中,粗糙内质网迅速增生,出现平行内质网槽库和同心内质网环,后者在一定条件下有可能成为一种自噬结构。同心内质网环包围的细胞质被消化后往往形成小液泡。通过新液泡的形成,原有液泡的扩大和合并,珠心细胞形成大的中央液泡。这时,珠心细胞呈现薄壁组织细胞的典型特征。此后,胚囊进一步扩展??引起这些珠心细胞衰退和死亡。

银杏贮粉室发生部位的珠心细胞程序性死亡的形态学观察

银杏(Ginkgo biloba L.)贮粉室的发生涉及位于珠孔端的珠心细胞的程序性死亡(PCD).本研究观察了贮粉室发生过程中发生PCD的珠心细胞的形态学变化.这些珠心细胞在PCD过程中形态变化显著,细胞组分有序地降解,液泡在此起关键作用.在液泡化过程中,细胞质基质和一些细胞器被液泡所吞噬,此时的细胞器结构完整.当液泡膜破裂、细胞质基质消失之后,细胞器才逐步解体.最终,这些珠心细胞仅具有残留的细胞壁.随着胚珠的生长,细胞壁也被破坏.在整个PCD过程中,内膜系统发生明显改变:细胞质膜出泡,产生多泡体;形成多环膜结构;出现由膜包围的小体,其中含有细胞质基质和一些细胞器;液泡膜破裂;细胞器解体;细胞中出现大量的小膜泡.珠孔端的珠心表皮开裂形成贮粉室的开口有两种方式:一种为专一细胞的自溶,而另一种是在两个邻接细胞的中胶层处分离,没有发生细胞的自溶破裂.贮粉室开口位置的特定表皮细胞在开裂发生前就死亡,从而提前标示出表皮开裂的发生位置.这些细胞形态的变化反映出银杏珠心细胞的死亡是受发育调控的PCD过程.

非洲狼尾草无融合生殖胚胎学研究

报道非洲狼尾草（ＰｅｎｎｉｓｅｔｕｍｓｑｕａｍｕｌａｔｕｍＦｒｅｓｅｎ）的胚囊形成、胚胎发生与发育过程。非洲狼尾草的孢原细胞直接发育成大孢子母细胞,并由它分裂产生三分体。从大孢子母细胞发育至三分体的不同阶段,均会出现败育。性细胞退化期间,其周围的珠心组织中,常出现一至多个体积较大的无孢子生殖原始细胞。通常只有靠近珠孔端的１个无孢子生殖原始细胞体积进一步增大,并出现大液泡,发育成无孢子生殖单核胚囊。随后,其核经连续两次有丝分裂,形成无孢子生殖四核胚囊,胚囊内的４个核常聚积在珠孔端,４个核进一步分化形成１个卵细胞、１个助细胞和具两个极核的中央细胞,没有反足细胞。胚囊发育属于大黍型。其它的无孢子生殖原始细胞能发育到单核或二核胚囊阶段,而后核解体导致胚囊败育。胚的发生有两种类型：（１）早发生胚。大多数胚囊在开花前一、二天,次生核未分裂,卵细胞不经受精,自发分裂形成胚。（２）迟发生胚。少数胚囊的卵细胞不经过受精,但需要在开花后三、四天次生核分裂为多个胚乳核时才开始分裂。无论是早发生胚或迟发生胚,卵细胞在分裂前具有极性,珠孔端有大液泡,细胞质稀薄,合点端细胞质较浓。胚的发育经历球形胚、梨形胚和胚分化阶段。     

Studies of Ultrastructure and ATPase Localization of Mature Embryo Sac in Vicia faba L.

Studies of ultrastructure and ATPase localization of the mature embryo sac in Vicia faba L. show that the egg cell has no cell wall at thechalazal end, it has a chalazally located nucleus and a large micropylar vacuole. There are many nuclear pores in the nuclear membrane. The cytoplasm is restricted around the nucleus. Dictyosome and mitochondria are few. There are some starch grains and lipid grains in the egg cytoplasm. There are no obvious differences between two synergids. No cell wall is seen at the chalazal end either, but there are some vesicles which project to vacuole of the central cell and fuse with its vacuolar membrane. Plasmodesmata connections occur within the synergid wall where it is adjacent to the central cell. The synergid has a micropylarly located nucleus and a chalazal vacuole, the nucleus is irregularly shaped. The synergid cytoplasm is rich in organelles. The filiform aparatus is of relatively heterogeneous structure. The central cell is occupied by a large vacuole and its cytoplasm is confined to a thin layer along the empryo sac wall, but is rich in various organelles, starch grains and lipid bodies. Nucleolar vacuoles are often present two polar nuclei. The nuclear membranes of two polar nuclei have partly fused. ATPase reactive product was located obviously at the endoplasmic reticulum in cytoplasm of the egg cell and central cell. The embryo sac wall consists of different density of osmiophilic layer. There are some wall ingrowths in chalazal region of the embryo sac. The long-shaped and cuneate cells of chalazal region are peculiar. Special tracks of ATPase reactive products are visible at their intercellular space which may be related to transportation of nutrients.     

Ultrastructural characterization of apospory in Panicum maximum

The nucellar ultrastructure of apomictic Panicum maximum was analyzed during the meiocytic stage and during aposporous embryo sac formation. At pachytene the megameiocyte shows a random cell organelle distribution and sometimes only an incomplete micropylar callose wall. The chalazal nucellar cells are meristematic until the tetrad stage. They can turn into initial cells of aposporous embryo sacs. The aposporous initials can be recognized by their increased cell size, large nucleus, and the presence of many vesicles. The cell wall is thin with few plasmodesmata. If only a sexual embryo sac is formed, the nucellar cells retain their meristematic character. The aposporous initial cell is somewhat comparable to a vacuolated functional megaspore. It shows large vacuoles around the central nucleus and is surrounded by a thick cell wall without plasmodesmata. In the mature aposporous embryo sac the structure of the cells of the egg apparatus is similar to each other. In the chalazal part of the egg apparatus the cell walls are thin and do not hamper the transfer of sperm cells. Structural and functional aspects of nucellar cell differentiation and aposporous and sexual embryo sac development are discussed.     

EMBRYO SAC LACKING ANTIPODAL CELLS IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA (BRASSICACEAE)

Ultrastructure of the embryo sac lacking antipodals in prefertilization stages in Arabidopsis thaliana has been examined 2 hr before and 5 hr after manual cross pollination. The cytoplasm of both synergids before fertilization is rich in ribosomes, mitochondria, and rough endoplasmic reticulum, and also contains several microbodies and spherosomes. The filiform apparatus includes electron-dense material and a fibrous part. Many cortical microtubules appear in the filiform apparatus area. One of the two synergids degenerates before fertilization. The synergids, the egg cell, and central cell have a rich cytoskeleton of microtubules; only the synergids appear to contain microfilaments. At the chalazal end, the antipodals are initially present but degenerate by the time of pollination in most embryo sacs in the starchless line studied. The embryo sac is completely surrounded by a wall containing an electron-dense layer, separating it from the nucellus, including the chalazal end. When the antipodals have degenerated, the electron-dense layer disappears at the chalazal end only, and the wall between the central cell and the nucellus is homogeneous. Between the central cell and nucellar cells no plasmodesmata are found. The membranes of both antipodal cells at the chalazal end of the embryo sac appear sinuous, like those of transfer cells. The central cell has plastids preferentially distributed around the nucleus, but the other organelles are randomly distributed. The central cell in the embryo sac and the adjacent chalazal nucellar cells show a transfer-cell function in the embryo sac after the antipodals degenerate.

Ultrastructural Localization of ATPase Activity in the Cells of the Apical Meristem Zone,Elongation Zone and Root Hair Zone of Tomato Roots

A comparative study on the cytochemical localization of adenosine triphosphatase (ATPase) activity reaction in the cells of the apical meristem zone, elongation zone and root hair zone of tomato roots was carried out by electron microscopic observations of lead phosphate precipitation. The following experimental results have been obtained: In the meristematic cells of tomato roots, the heavy lead phosphate deposits indicating a very high activity of ATPase were localized at plasmalemma, plasmodesmata, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi bodies, nucleoli and chromatin (Figs. 1—2). The reaction products of ATPase activity were also observed at some sites of ground cytoplasm and cell wall, but they were not found in little vacuoles and on tonoplast. In the cells of elongation zone, the ATPase activity at plasmalemma and plasmodesmata was as high as that in the meristematic cells of root tip, while the ATPase activity at nucleoli, chromatin, endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies was markedly lowered. On the other hand, the high ATPase activity was produced on the tonoplast of the developing and enlarging vacuoles (Fig. 3). In the cells of root hair zone, the high ATPase activity was shown at plasmalemma, tonoplast and intercellular spaces, but the ATPase activity at nucleoli, chromatin and endoplasmic reticulum was wholly inactivated. (Figs. 4—7). The above results indicate that the ATPase activity with membranes and organelles is altered when the functions of cells and organelles change. Therefore, it is evident that the ATPase activity may be closely related to many physiological functions.
