Summary. Meiosis in Aneura pinguis is preceded by extensive cytoplasmic preparation for quadripartitioning of the diploid sporocyte into a tetrad of haploid
spores. In early prophase the four future spore domains are defined by lobing of the cytoplasm and development of a quadripolar
prophase spindle focused at polar organizers (POs) centered in the lobes. Cells entering the reproductive phase become isolated
and, instead of hooplike cortical microtubules, have endoplasmic microtubule systems centered on POs. These archesporial cells
proliferate by mitosis before entering meiosis. In prophase of each mitosis, POs containing a distinct concentration of γ-tubulin
appear de novo at tips of nuclei and initiate the bipolar spindle. Cells entering meiosis become transformed into quadrilobed
sporocytes with four POs, one in each lobe. This transition is a complex process encompassing assembly of two opposite POs
which subsequently disperse into intersecting bands of microtubules that form around the central nucleus. The girdling bands
define the future planes of cytokinesis and the cytoplasm protrudes through the restrictive bands becoming quadrilobed. Two
large POs reappear in opposite cleavage furrows. Each divides and the resulting POs migrate into the tetrahedral lobes of
cytoplasm. Cones of microtubules emanating from the four POs interact to form a quadripolar microtubule system (QMS) that
surrounds the nucleus in meiotic prophase. The QMS is subsequently transformed into a functionally bipolar metaphase spindle
by migration of poles in pairs to opposite cleavage furrows. These findings contribute to knowledge of microtubule organization
and the role of microtubules in spatial regulation of cytokinesis in plants.

Tuber spp. are ectomycorrhizal fungi that establish symbioses with shrubs and trees. Because of their different smell and taste, Tuber uncinatum and Tuber aestivum are two truffle morphotypes with a different market value, but whether or not T. uncinatum and T. aestivum are different taxa is still an open debate among mycologists. In order to identify molecular keys characterizing both T. aestivum and T. uncinatum morphotypes, ITS/RFLPs analyses were carried out on a large collection of samples from all over Italy and from other European countries, followed by a study of the phylogenesis of ITS, beta-tubulin and EF 1-alpha genes, on representative samples. The present study provides compelling evidence that: (i) T. uncinatum and T. aestivum belong to the same species, (ii) neither morphotype presents a specific molecular fingerprint, but they may even share identical alleles at any of the loci analysed; (iii) T. aestivum is most likely under a selfing reproductive mode. Our findings suggest that ecological, rather than genetic causes may account for differences in sporal morphology, taste and smell between T. aestivum and T. uncinatum truffles. 相似文献

Genetic,morphological, and virulence characterization of the entomopathogenic fungus Verticillium lecanii 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to clarify relationships among genetic diversity, virulence, and other characteristics of conidia, 46 isolates of Verticillium lecanii from various hosts and geographical locations were examined. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and intergenic spacer (IGS) regions of ribosomal DNA (rDNA), mitochondrial small subunit rDNA (mt-SrDNA) and beta-tubulin were analyzed by PCR-RFLP. PCR-single stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) was performed on regions of the mitochondrial large subunit rDNA, mt-SrDNA, beta-tubulin and histone 4. There were no relationships among the results of RFLP, SSCP, isolation source, and location. However, amplified product size of IGS did have relationships with conidia size and sporulation. Six isolates with 4.0-kb IGS products had large conidia dimensions, and yielded low numbers of conidia compared with other isolates. Three out of the six isolates were high virulence (over 90%) against green peach aphids. Furthermore, double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) was detected in 22 out of 35 V. lecanii isolates and related with the amplicon sizes of IGS, though not with virulence or isolation location. Isolates containing dsRNA were divided into six distinct types based on banding pattern. These data demonstrate the level of genetic diversity of V. lecanii, and suggest relations among the genetic properties and conidial morphology. 相似文献

To understand the cell cycle process in plants, we searched for proteins that quantitatively change during the cell cycle in suspension-cultured rice (Oryza sativa L.) cells. The proteins were analyzed by a two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis image-analysis system. We detected 11 proteins that quantitatively changed during the cell cycle, among which -tubulins and a calreticulin-like protein were identified. The amounts of -tubulin proteins were low in the M phase and high in the G1 phase. In contrast, mRNAs for two of the three types of -tubulin were high in the M phase of the cell cycle. The addition of protease inhibitors MG132 or E64d to the cells decreased the -tubulin proteins during 24 h, suggesting that -tubulin proteins are degraded in vivo by proteases other than those whose activities are inhibited by MG132 or E64d. 相似文献

The characterization of the two Paramecium gamma-tubulin genes, gammaPT1 and gammaPT2, allowed us to raise Paramecium-specific antibodies, directed against their most divergent carboxy-terminal peptide and to analyze the localization and dynamics of gamma-tubulin throughout the cell cycle. As in other cell types, a large proportion of the protein was found to be cytosolic, but in contrast to the general situation, gamma-tubulin was found to be permanently associated to four types of sites: basal bodies, the micronuclear compartment--within which mitotic and meiotic spindles develop without membrane breakdown, the pores of the contractile vacuoles and the cytoproct which are cortical microtubular organelles fulfilling excretory functions. In addition, a transient site of gamma-tubulin and microtubule assembly was observed at the site of nuclear exchange during conjugation. This complexity accounts for the nucleation of most of the numerous and diverse microtubule arrays present in Paramecium. The sites and mode of nucleation of the microtubule bundles formed in the macronuclear compartment during division remain unclear. These observations lead us to discuss the relationships between microtubules, gamma-tubulin and MTOCs. 相似文献

To understand the unusual polar body formation in the androgenetic clam, Corbicula leana, whole-mount eggs stained with monoclonal antibodies against α-tubulin, γ-tubulin, and 4’-6’-diamidino-2-phenylindole were
examined. The meiotic spindle was located at the peripheral region of the egg at metaphase I, and its axis was parallel to
the egg surface. After segregation of chromosomes at anaphase I, cytoplasmic bulges formed at both meiotic spindle pole sites.
Centrosomes were located at the apical portion of the each bulge. From the apical portion of the bulge a bundle of astral
microtubules radiated toward the bulge base in late anaphase resembling a half spindle. Maternal chromosomes and both centrosomes
were all distributed in two ”first polar bodies” and were eventually discarded. After the polar body formation only one male
pronucleus existed in the egg cytoplasm. The present study showed that the anaphase microtubules originating from a single
aster can induce the polar body formation without overlapping of microtubules from the opposing aster.
