Transient expression of a reporter gene in bulbscales and immature embryos of three Lilium species is affected by 5'upstream sequences and culture conditions

In Lilium , a transformation system has not yet been developed. For efficient selection of cells expressing transferred genes following particle bombardment, the effects of 5'upstream regions on the transient expression of the β-glucuronidase gene ( gusA ) were estimated in bulbscales and immature embryos of lily. When four plasmids having the gusA gene under the control of the cauliflower mosaic virus (CaMV) 35S, maize alcohol dehydrogenase gene and rice actin gene ( Actl ) promoters, and the castor bean catalase introm were introduced by particle bombardment, the patterns of transient expression in the bulbscales showed differences among three Lilium species, L. x formolongi, L. dauricum and L. japonicum . In immature embryos of L x formolongi , transient expression was significantly influenced by age of embryos after self-pollination, duration of culture before bombardment, and culture conditions. Moreover, the transient gusA expression driven by six different 5'upstream regions, including the maize ubiquitin gene promoter and a modified CaMV 35S promoter were compared in both bulbscales and immature embryos. Use of the Actl and modified CaMV 35S promoters resulted in the greatest number of cells that transiently expressed gusA in both types of tissue of L. x formolongi . These two promoters are efficient for use in lily transformation.     

百合花粉母细胞核骨架的超微结构观察

参照动物细胞核骨架的研究方法,用整装电镜技术和DGD包埋-去包埋技术研究了选择性抽提的和完整的百合(Lilium davidii var. willmottiae (Wilson) Roffill)花粉母细胞。结果表明,住减数分裂前期Ⅰ,百合花粉母细胞核内存在一个精细的非染色质纤维——核骨架。该网络由5～15nm的纤维交织而成,广泛地分布于细胞核内。这些核骨架有的分布于染色体间,有的分布于染色体周围,并与染色体和核仁相连。随着减数分裂时间的推移,染色体(质)间核骨架纤维逐渐减少,染色体(质)周围的核骨架纤维逐渐增多,并与染色体内部的纤维结构相连,表明核骨架一方面为染色体拓扑变化提供一个空间支架,另一方面也可能参与了染色体骨架的构建。     

兰州百合组培鳞茎发育研究

该研究以兰州百合商品种球鳞片为外植体材料,通过组织培养诱导丛生芽萌发及高频增殖,再以丛生芽为材料诱导其发育形成小鳞茎,调节培养基对小鳞茎进行膨大发育培养,最终形成促进兰州百合组培鳞茎膨大发育的“三步”组培培养技术路线;对发育过程中形成的丛生芽、小鳞茎及膨大鳞茎进行淀粉含量测定与生长特征参数统计,分析各步培养对鳞茎形成发育过程中淀粉含量与形态变化的影响。结果表明：所建立的“三步”培养方案培育出的组培鳞茎直径、重量与鳞片数分别为1.66 cm、2.48 g和26.33片,有效地促进了鳞茎的膨大,并能诱导鳞茎主茎杆的形成发育;在培养进程中其淀粉含量呈现逐步增加的趋势,这表明与鳞茎膨大发育正相关,同时鳞茎大小、重量及鳞片数三者也表现为正相关性;当鳞茎所含鳞片数在26片以上时,其生长点易发育形成主茎杆。该文研究了兰州百合组培鳞茎的形成与膨大发育技术,所研发的“三步”培养组成的鳞茎膨大发育组培技术有效地促进了鳞茎的膨大发育,而膨大发育的鳞茎能有效地缩短田间生长周期,从时间上提高百合生产量,同时为实现兰州百合膨大的鳞茎种球规模化生产提供技术支撑。     

Isolation of the lily embryo sac

Summary A 5%–8% yield of isolated embryo sacs of Lilium longiflorum was obtained using an enzymatic isolation procedure. The best results were obtained with a maceration mixture containing mannitol, pectinase, pectolyase, cellulase, hemicellulase, CaCl₂ and NaOH. All developmental stages of the female gametophyte can be isolated in the living condition, although fewer than expected mature stages were observed. Moreover, only some of the more mature embryo sacs showed a positive fluorochromatic reaction (FCR) at the time of liberation. When the embryo sacs were stored in the enzyme or sugar solution after isolation, the positive reaction rapidly diminished for all stages. The isolated embryo sac and its nuclei were similar in size, shape, and position to the in situ embryo sac. Light microscopical observations of sectioned material revealed an intact cellular structure. However, the deleterious effects of the enzyme solution were sometimes observed in the form of lipid-like accumulations inside the isolated embryo sac.In collaboration with: Reconnaissance Cellulaire et Amélioration des Plantes, Université Cl.

百合生殖细胞分裂过程中微管分布的显微荧光观察

用抗微管蛋白抗体和荧光标记技术,观察了百合生殖细胞经有丝分裂形成精细胞过程中微管的变化。生殖细胞在分裂的前期,存在于核外围以及细胞两端胞质内的微管大都以微管束的形式沿细胞长轴方向平行排列。在靠近核的部位,有些微管有时会斜向排列。分裂进入中期后,染色体集中排列在赤道面。在染色体周围可以见到有多束与细胞长轴平行排列着的微管,但这些微管束是在分裂中期时新形成的或是在前期已存在,尚难以断定。这些微管束有一个特点,就是当它们延伸至赤道板部位时,在每一条微管束上都有一个无荧光的小圆区;这个小圆区可能代表着丝粒的位置。细胞分裂进入后期,姊妹染色单体分别向两极移动形成两组染色体。在它们之间近赤道板位置出现了一个具有强烈荧光的区域,显示在这一部位,微管相当浓密。从这一强烈荧光区向两极分别伸出多条微管束。因此,在这一强烈荧光区内可能有多个微管束重叠。到细胞分裂末期,在这一强烈的荧光区的中央出现了一条横向的无荧光区。这一区域有可能为胞质完成分裂后新形成的细胞板所在的部位。

Differentiation in Lilium bulbscales grown in vitro. Effects of activated charcoal, physiological age of bulbs and sucrose concentration on differentiation and scale leaf formation in vitro

Organ differentiation and growth of tissue cultured bulbscales of Lilium auratum Lindl. was investigated. Benzyladenine stimulated bulb and bulbscale differentiation but inhibited root formation. Addition of activated charcoal to the medium negated the effect of BA on differentiation, while the growth of bulbs was markedly stimulated. Organ formation was also influenced by the physiological age of bulbs. From bulbscales of a 3-week-old bulb, a large number of bulbs and roots was formed but callus was not produced. A high sucrose concentration (90 g/1) reduced the subsequent sprouting after planting in soil. Scale leaf formation was also regulated. Sucrose (30 g/1) stimulated scale leaf formation but 90 g/1 were inhibitory.

Isolation of generative cells and their protoplasts from pollen ofLilium longiflorum

Summary Methods are described for the isolation of large quantities of generative cells and their protoplasts from the pollen ofLilium longiflorum. First, large numbers of pollen protoplasts were enzymatically isolated from immature pollen grains. When they were gently disrupted mechanically, the pollen contents including spindle-shaped generative cells were released. The generative cells were separated from other structures by Percoll density gradient centrifugation. They were nearly spherical, but had a callosic cell wall. The isolated generative cells were then re-treated in enzyme solution to yield authentic protoplasts. The generative cell protoplasts, gametoplasts, were uniform in size and contained a condensed haploid nucleus with relatively little cytoplasm.     

Ultrastructural research on cell wall regeneration by cultured pollen protoplasts of Lilium longiflorum

Summary Protoplasts from pollen grains of Lilium longiflorum regenerate amorphous cellulosic cell walls in culture, during which some precursors of cellulose are polymerized, thus producing progressively harder cellulosic cell walls as the period of culture continues. It is presumed that the components of the cell wall regenerated during 1 week in culture differ from those of the intine of the pollen grain wall. The regenerated cell wall is formed by means of large smooth vesicles; in addition, numerous coated vesicles and pits aid in wall regeneration. The pollen tube that germinates from the 8-day-old cultured protoplast has numerous Golgi bodies and many vesicles which build the pollen tube wall. The tube wall has two layers just like a normal pollen tube wall.
