蓝猪耳小孢子发生和雄配子体发育

利用常规石蜡切片和超薄切片技术研究蓝猪耳(Torenia fournien)小孢子发生和雄配子体发育过程.蓝猪耳雄蕊4枚,花药具4个花粉囊.小孢子母细胞经减数分裂成四分体,其排列方式为四面体形或左右对称形.成熟花粉属2细胞型,具3个萌发孔.花药壁发育为双子叶型,腺质绒毡层.小孢子母细胞在四分体时期频繁出现细胞质降解的异常现象,其它发育阶段均正常;小孢子母细胞不正常的减数分裂可能导致花粉败育,这可能是蓝猪耳结实率低的原因之一.

Early signs of disruption of wheat anther development associated with the induction of male sterility by meiotic-stage water deficit

 Water deficit during meiosis in microspore mother cells of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) induces male sterility, which reduces grain yield. In plants stressed during meiosis and then re-watered, division of microspore mother cells seems to proceed normally, but subsequent pollen development is arrested. Stress-affected anthers generally lack starch. We employed light microscopy in conjunction with histochemistry to compare the developmental anatomy of water-stress-affected and normal anthers. The earliest effects of stress, detectable between meiosis and young microspore stages, were the degeneration of meiocytes, loss of orientation of the reproductive cells, and abnormal vacuolization of tapetal cells. Other effects observed during subsequent developmental stages were deposition of starch in the connective tissue where it is normally not present, hypertrophy of the middle layer or endothecial cells, and deposition of sporopollenin-like substances in the anther loculus. The resulting pollen grains lacked both starch and intine. These results suggest that abnormal degeneration of the tapetum in water-stressed anthers coupled with a loss of orientation of the reproductive cells could be part of early events leading to abortion of microspores.

濒危植物羊角槭小孢子发生与雄配子体发育研究

利用常规石蜡切片法对羊角槭的小孢子发生及配子体发育进行了研究,结果表明：羊角槭花分两性花与雄花,两性花花药不散粉,雄花散粉;花药具四个花粉囊,其发育类型为基本型;药室内壁呈纤维状加厚;绒毡层为腺质型;孢质分裂为同时型;小孢子四分体呈四面体形排列;成熟花粉粒为二细胞型。羊角槭花药发育过程中出现严重败育现象,表现为四分体胼胝质提早溶解、单核小孢子彼此粘连、花粉液泡化等,形成干瘪、内陷的花粉,一定程度上影响花粉质量;另初步测得羊角槭的花粉生活力在36.98%~60.54%之间,平均生活力为45.97%。本文将为羊角槭花药发育、小孢子发生和雄配子体发育过程及出现的异常现象提供解剖学资料。     

白菜核雄性不育系可育和不育花药中Ca2+的分布

研究了白菜(Brassica campestris L. ssp.chinensis Makino)细胞核雄性不育系花药中Ca2 的分布特征.在可育花药发育过程中,减数分裂后花药壁细胞中钙颗粒明显增加.早期小孢子开始积累钙颗粒并特异性地附在小液泡膜上.小孢子分裂后,大液泡消失过程中又伴随着许多钙颗粒附在小液泡膜上,显示出Ca2 与花粉中液泡的形成和分解有关.在不育花药中,最早出现的钙颗粒异常分布是在小孢子母细胞的胼胝质壁中积累了较多的钙颗粒.然而,在小孢子细胞质中钙颗粒一直很少,也不形成大液泡,最后通过细胞质收缩的方式败育.这是首次发现Ca2 参与调控花药发育过程,其异常分布与花粉败育密切相关.

白菜核雄性不育两用系可育和不育花药ATPase的分布

对白菜核雄性不育两用系可育花药和不育花药的ATPase做了定位分析。可育花药的花粉母细胞核中积累了大量的ATPase反应颗粒,而细胞质中ATPase反应颗粒较少,但在线粒体中特异地聚集了一些大的ATPase反应颗粒。减数分裂后,小孢子细胞质中ATPase反应颗粒明显增加。随着小孢子发育,其细胞质中ATPase反应颗粒逐渐减少,但在线粒体中又特异性地聚集了较多的AT-Pase反应颗粒。当花药发育到二胞花粉时期,花粉和绒毡层细胞中的ATPase反应颗粒已很少了。不育花药的花粉母细胞中呈现较多的ATPase,然而在线粒体中很少。异常四分体小孢子细胞质中虽然有较多的ATPase反应颗粒,但还是通过细胞质收缩和质壁分离方式退化。对可育花药的花粉母细胞线粒体中特异出现的簇状ATPase分布现象进行了分析,讨论了不育花药中花粉母细胞线粒体ATPase的异常与花粉败育的可能关系。     

Calcium distribution in fertile and sterile anthers of thermosensitive male-sterile wheat

Calcium distribution in fertile and sterile anthers of a thermosensitive male-sterile wheat genotype was investigated using an antimonate precipitation method. During fertile anther development, before meiosis of the microspore mother cells, calcium precipitates were apparent in tapetal cells of the anther wall. After meiosis, precipitates were detected in the early microspores and accumulated in the large vacuole of late microspores. After microspore division, following decomposition of the large vacuole, precipitates decreased in the bicellular pollen. The earliest abnormality in calcium precipitate distribution detected during sterile pollen development was the greater accumulation of precipitates in the cytoplasm and nucleus of late microspores. The sterile microspore can divide to form bicellular pollen, but the large vacuole of sterile bicellular pollen did not decompose and greater abundance of precipitates was retained in the large vacuole. Abnormal distribution of calcium precipitates in sterile pollen precedes structural changes, suggesting that abnormal calcium metabolism is associated with pollen abortion.     

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.     

凤仙花花药发育中多糖和脂滴组织化学研究

以不同发育时期的凤仙花花药为实验材料,采用组织化学方法,对花药发育中的结构变化及多糖和脂滴物质分布进行观察。结果表明:(1)凤仙花的花药壁由6层细胞组成,包括1层表皮细胞,2层药室内壁细胞,2层中层细胞和1层绒毡层细胞。其中绒毡层细胞的形态不明显,很难与造孢细胞区分,且在小孢子母细胞时期退化。(2)在小孢子母细胞中出现了一些淀粉粒,但减数分裂后,早期小孢子中的淀粉粒消失,又出现了一些小的脂滴;随着花粉的发育,小孢子形成大液泡,晚期小孢子中的脂滴也消失;小孢子分裂形成二胞花粉后,营养细胞中的大液泡降解、消失,二胞花粉中又开始积累淀粉;接近开花时,成熟花粉中充满细胞质,其中包含了较多的淀粉粒和脂滴。(3)在凤仙花的花药发育中,绒毡层细胞很早退化,为小孢子母细胞和四分体小孢子提供了营养物质;其后的中层细胞退化则为后期花粉发育提供了营养物质。     

Receptor-like protein kinase 2 (RPK 2) is a novel factor controlling anther development in Arabidopsis thaliana

Receptor-like kinases (RLK) comprise a large gene family within the Arabidopsis genome and play important roles in plant growth and development as well as in hormone and stress responses. Here we report that a leucine-rich repeat receptor-like kinase (LRR-RLK), RECEPTOR-LIKE PROTEIN KINASE2 (RPK2), is a key regulator of anther development in Arabidopsis. Two RPK2 T-DNA insertional mutants (rpk2-1 and rpk2-2) displayed enhanced shoot growth and male sterility due to defects in anther dehiscence and pollen maturation. The rpk2 anthers only developed three cell layers surrounding the male gametophyte: the middle layer was not differentiated from inner secondary parietal cells. Pollen mother cells in rpk2 anthers could undergo meiosis, but subsequent differentiation of microspores was inhibited by tapetum hypertrophy, with most resulting pollen grains exhibiting highly aggregated morphologies. The presence of tetrads and microspores in individual anthers was observed during microspore formation, indicating that the developmental homeostasis of rpk2 anther locules was disrupted. Anther locules were finally crushed without stomium breakage, a phenomenon that was possibly caused by inadequate thickening and lignification of the endothecium. Microarray analyses revealed that many genes encoding metabolic enzymes, including those involved in cell wall metabolism and lignin biosynthesis, were downregulated throughout anther development in rpk2 mutants. RPK2 mRNA was abundant in the tapetum of wild-type anthers during microspore maturation. These results suggest that RPK2 controls tapetal cell fate by triggering subsequent tapetum degradation, and that mutating RPK2 impairs normal pollen maturation and anther dehiscence due to disruption of key metabolic pathways.     

白菜细胞核雄性不育花药的细胞化学观察

对一种由一对隐性基因控制的白菜细胞核雄性不育和可育株的花药进行了细胞学和组织化学研究。种子播种后,有1／4植株为不育株,其余的为可育株。通过对不育株和可育株花药发育的细胞学观察,确认不育花粉的败育发生在小孢子发育时期。用组织化学的方法研究了可育株和不育株花药发育过程中的多糖和脂类的分布动态,发现在减数分裂前,可育花药和不育花药的药隔细胞中都储藏了大量的淀粉粒。二者的差异仅是不育花药的绒毡层细胞液泡化明显。在减数分裂后的小孢子发育时期,可育花药的绒毡层细胞具有将药隔细胞中的淀粉粒多糖吸收并转化成脂类的功能,小孢子及以后的二胞花粉中也积累了大量的脂类储藏物质。在不育花药中,虽然减数分裂后药隔细胞中的淀粉粒也都消失,但绒毡层细胞中的脂类物质相比很少,同时绒毡层细胞显示了明显的多糖反应,表明不育花药的绒毡层细胞将糖类转化为脂类的功能受阻。在小孢子的表面有些脂类物质,但在细胞质中却没有脂类积累。这一结果暗示在该种白菜细胞核雄性不育株中,由于花药绒毡层细胞转换多糖为脂类的功能失常,导致了小孢子的败育。
