小麦不同发育时期花药的花粉白苗分化初探（简报）

花粉白苗的研究,以水稻为材料的较多,且大多研究培养基成分、培养温度、培养材料等对白苗分化的影响、花粉白苗的亚显微结构及遗传生化分析等。但就花粉白苗的成因问题目前仍不清楚。我们对小麦不同小孢子发育时期的花药分别培养,初步探讨了花粉白苗分化与小孢子发育时期之间的关系。     

兰州百合花粉萌发过程中一些酶活的变化(简报〕

兰州百合花粉体外萌发过程中质膜ATP酶和植酸酶活性变化与花粉管生长速率相一致,酸性磷酸酯酶活性在花粉管出现后一段时间内不断升高,而过氧化物酶活性变化与花粉管生速率呈相反趋势。     

植物的传粉谋略

由于有花植物固着生长的习性，它们的有性生殖依赖于成功的花粉传递。花粉传递之所以重要，在于其中包裹着精子。除少数植物能进行白花授粉之外，大多数植物需要外力的帮助才能实现传粉。据估计，2／3以上的植物是靠昆虫授粉。如果缺乏传粉媒介，精子输送受阻，将导致花不能受精结实。     

A Putative Calcium-Permeable Cyclic Nucleotide-Gated Channel, CNGC18, Regulates Polarized Pollen Tube Growth

A tip-focused Ca^2＋ gradient is tightly coupled to polarized pollen tube growth, and tip-localized influxes of extracellular Ca^2＋ are required for this process. However the molecular identity and regulation of the potential Ca^2＋ channels remains elusive. The present study has implicated CNGC18 （cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 18） in polarized pollen tube growth, because its overexpression induced wider and shorter pollen tubes. Moreover, CNGC18 overexpression induced depolarization of pollen tube growth was suppressed by lower extracellular calcium （[Ca^2＋]ex）. CNGC18-yellow fluorescence protein （YFP） was preferentially localized to the apparent post-Golgi vesicles and the plasma membrane （PM） in the apex of pollen tubes. The PM localization was affected by tip-localized ROP1 signaling. Expression of wild type ROP1 or an active form of ROP1 enhanced CNGC18-YFP localization to the apical region of the PM, whereas expression of RopGAP1 （a ROP1 deactivator） blocked the PM localization. These results support a role for PM-Iocalized CNGC18 in the regulation of polarized pollen tube growth through its potential function in the modulation of calcium influxes.     

花粉特异F-box基因及其表达产物可能参与的SCF途径

泛素蛋白体目标性降解蛋白途径是许多细胞学过程的重要调节体系,底物蛋白泛素化涉及3个酶激反应,其中,作为E3连接酶的SCF复合体对底物的识别是通过亚体F-box蛋白C末端的特异性结构实现的.利用染色体步移等方法,最近在一些配子体型自交不亲和植物S-RNase基因近旁相继发现了一类花粉特异性表达的F-box基因,从而预示泛素介导的SCF蛋白降解途径可能参与配子体自交不亲和反应.
