Abstract: | Pollen proteins of Lilium longiflorum were examined at different developmental stages (young, mature and cultured) using two-dimensional differential gel electrophoresis. Quantitative changes of six proteins (MP1–MP6) during pollen development were observed in the acidic and low molecular weight region. After water absorption on the culture medium, the quantities of all six proteins were drastically changed. Mass spectrometric analysis revealed that MP2, MP3, MP4 and MP6 are late embryogenesis abundant (LEA) (D-7) protein, profilin 3, profilin 1 and enolase, respectively. The remaining two proteins (MP1 and MP5) could not be identified by mass spectrometric analysis. Immunogold electron microscopic examination showed the presence of these proteins in different regions: MP1 around lipid bodies, suggesting possible involvement in lipid metabolism, MP4 near actin in the cytoplasm, indicating the possibility of its interaction with actin in the regulatory pathways of pollen, and MP2 and MP6 in the cytoplasm. |
