杜仲花粉不对称分裂的超微结构观察

运用透射电镜对杜仲花粉发育进程进行了观察研究。结果显示,杜仲小孢子的第一次分裂为不等分裂,形成小的生殖细胞和大的营养细胞。分裂开始前小孢子的营养极形成许多小液泡,建立细胞极性;然后随着核膜的解体核周围的细胞器逐渐向纺锤体区靠近,围绕在纺锤体周围。花粉第一次有丝分裂完成后,生殖细胞所获得的细胞器开始分布在细胞的两侧,后来移向生殖细胞的营养极,而紧贴花粉壁的生殖极无细胞器分布。这种生殖细胞早期的细胞极性,可能为进一步分裂形成精细胞奠定基础。     

花生成熟花粉的超微结构

花生（Arachis hypogaea L．）成熟花粉为二细胞型,具3个萌发沟,少数有4个。外壁呈蜂窝状。花粉壁由覆盖层、基粒棒、外壁内层及内壁构成。线粒体嵴密集、相互平行,脂体被粗面内质网包围。粗面内质网与外核膜相连,亦与线粒体相连。高尔基体甚少。营养核无核仁及染色质,与生殖细胞相连形成雄性生殖单位（male germ unit）。生殖细胞锤形、有壁,见一末端延伸成长尾状（长8μm）。细胞质含核糖体、线粒体、微管,未见体。在有些生殖细胞核内观察到具双层膜、少量嵴及深色内含物的球形结构,其米来源及本质尚不知,有待进一步研究确定。     

麻疯树小孢子发育的研究

用透射电镜观察了麻疯树(Jatropha curcas L.)小孢子发育的超微结构。小孢子母细胞时期内质网和质体较多;减数分裂和四分体时期,细胞处于明显的代谢活跃状态,细胞器丰富,主要有内质网、线粒体、质体、高尔基体和球状体;在小孢子发育早期和晚期,线粒体和内质网仍较丰富;小孢子经过高度的不对称分裂后,形成较大的营养细胞和较小的生殖细胞,营养细胞中细胞器数量明显减少,含大量的淀粉和脂类物质,生殖细胞中脂类物质丰富;表皮、药室内壁和中层细胞在小孢子母细胞和四分体时期淀粉粒丰富,小孢子时期明显减少,绒毡层从小孢子母细胞至小孢子发育晚期的细胞器都很丰富,主要为内质网、质体和线粒体,为二胞花粉发育奠定基础。     

玉竹雄配子的发育——着重阐明质体在生殖细胞和营养细胞中的分布和变化

玉竹(Polygonatum simizui Kitag)小孢子在分裂前,质体极性分布导致分裂后形成的生殖细胞不含质体,而营养细胞包含了小孢子中全部的质体。生殖细胞发育至成熟花粉时期,及在花粉管中分裂形成的两个精细胞中始终不含质体。虽然生殖细胞和精细胞中都存在线粒体,但细胞质中无DNA类核。玉竹雄性质体的遗传为单亲母本型。在雄配子体发育过程中,营养细胞中的质体发生明显的变化。在早期的营养细胞质中,造粉质体增殖和活跃地合成淀粉。后期,脂体增加而造粉质体消失。接近成熟时花粉富含油滴。对百合科的不同属植物质体被排除的机理及花粉中贮藏的淀粉与脂体的转变进行了讨论。     

油松成熟花粉的细胞化学及超微结构研究

油松（ＰｉｎｕｓｔａｂｕｌａｅｆｏｒｍｉｓＣａｒｒ．）花粉由两个原叶细胞、一个生殖细胞和一个管细胞组成,其中两个原叶细胞在花粉成熟时已退化。生殖细胞具自己完整的壁。它与花粉贴近一面的壁与花粉内壁分开,仅侧面的壁与内壁连结。生殖细胞向管细胞一面的壁上有胞质通道。生殖细胞与管细胞有明显的分化,主要的差异表现在以下几个方面：（１）生殖细胞核的染色质凝集,而管细胞核的染色质分散,并具发达的核膜孔;（２）生殖细胞内不具微体,而管细胞的细胞质有较多的微体;（３）管细胞比生殖细胞有更丰富的内含物。虽然这两个细胞都含脂体和造粉质体,但前者的造粉质体极为丰富,而后者的造粉质体数量少。管细胞还含有少量的蛋白体,而生殖细胞则缺少这种贮藏物质。生殖细胞与管细胞内均含丰富的线粒体、多聚核糖体和少量的内质网及高尔基体。ＤＡＰＩ染色结果表明,生殖细胞及管细胞内均含丰富的细胞质ＤＮＡ。对油松细胞质遗传的方式及花粉壁的组成、结构和性质进行了讨论。     

杜鹃精细胞的超微结构及DNA荧光观察——着重阐明质体双亲遗传的细胞学基础

迎红杜鹃 ( Rhododendron mucronulatum Turcz.)的成熟花粉为二细胞型 ,精细胞在花粉管中形成。花粉管中的两个精细胞及与营养核之间互相联结 ,形成雄性生殖单位。两个精细胞的细胞质中均含有丰富的细胞器 ,包括质体、线粒体、小泡及微管 ,内质网和高尔基体稀少。具正常结构的精细胞质体在切面上多呈环形或哑铃形 ,内膜不发达 ,基质电子密度高。线粒体为球形或棒状 ,基质电子密度较低。 DNA特异性荧光染色显示 ,生殖细胞及精细胞中均含有大量类核 ( nucleoid) ,两个精细胞中的类核数量无明显差异。结果证明了杜鹃精细胞中存在大量具 DNA的可遗传细胞器 ,为杜鹃属植物的双亲细胞质遗传方式提供了细胞学证据。     

小麦雄配子体的超微结构 Ⅰ.营养细胞和生殖细胞的形成

小孢子分裂的末期产生的成膜体,经离心的扩展后形成一个与内壁连结的细胞板,而后形成分隔营养细胞和生殖细胞的壁。由于胞质分裂高度的不均等性,形成大小悬殊的营养细胞和生殖细胞。在初期的生殖细胞和营养细胞的细胞质中,细胞器是没有差异的,包括线粒体、质体、内质网、高尔基体和核糖体。只有在胞质分裂初期看到微管。生殖细胞形成后,进一步的发育是逐渐脱离花粉粒的壁而成为游离的细胞,浸没在营养细胞的细胞质中。与此同时壁物质消失,变为一个被二层质膜所包围的裸细胞。当生殖细胞发育至游离的裸细胞时期,与营养细胞比较,显示明显的异质性,表现为生殖细胞中的质体不发育或退化,其它细胞器没有什么变化。相反,营养细胞中的质体和线粒体在数量上和大小上显著增长,在质体中迅速积累淀粉。对小麦生殖细胞暂时出现细胞壁的意义以及和营养细胞的异质性进行了讨论。     

王百合及兰州百合细胞质遗传的细胞学研究

描述了王百合（ＬｉｌｉｕｍｒｅｇａｌｅＷｉｌｓ．）及兰州百合（Ｌ．ｄａｖｉｄｉＤｕｃｈ．）质体和线粒体在生殖细胞及精细胞中的分布和细胞质中ＤＮＡ的状况。在刚形成的王百合的生殖细胞中含有少量的质体和大量的线粒体。当生殖细胞游离在营养细胞质中时,质体在生殖细胞中完全退化消失。ＤＡＰＩ荧光技术进一步证明,在成熟花粉、花粉管中的生殖细胞及其分裂形成的两个精细胞中无任何细胞器ＤＮＡ。兰州百合在小孢子分裂时质体严格地极性分布,造成了刚形成的生殖细胞中即无质体。兰州百合、麝香百合（Ｌ．ｌｏｎｇｉｆｌｏｒｕｍＴｈｕｎｂ．）及其杂种的ＲＦＬＰ分析,也证明兰州百合质体是单亲母系传递的。虽然在不同发育时期的生殖细胞及精细胞中可以观察到线粒体,但在雄配子体时期它们的ＤＮＡ已降解,因此雄性线粒体不能被传递至后代。研究结果提供了百合属的这两个种质体和线粒体具母系遗传方式的细胞学证据,并阐明父系细胞质不能作为遗传传递的机理。

栽培甜菜花粉发育过程的超微结构

利用透射电镜技术对栽培甜菜(Beta vulgaris)花粉发育过程进行了超微结构观察。结果表明, 在小孢子母细胞减数分裂期间, 细胞内发生了“细胞质改组”, 主要表现在核糖体减少, 质体和线粒体结构发生了规律性变化。末期I 不形成细胞板,而是在2个子核间形成“细胞器带”。“细胞器带”的存在起到类似细胞板的作用, 暂时将细胞质分隔成两部分。四分体呈四面体型, 被胼胝质壁包围。小孢子外壁的沉积始于四分体晚期, 至小孢子晚期外壁已基本发育完全。单核小孢子时期, 细胞核大, 细胞器丰富。二细胞花粉发育主要表现在生殖细胞壁的变化上, 生殖细胞壁上不具有胞间连丝。成熟花粉为三细胞型, 含有1个营养细胞和2个精细胞。精细胞具有短尾突, 无壁, 为裸细胞, 每个精细胞通过2层质膜与营养细胞的细胞质分开。生殖细胞与精细胞里缺乏质体。     

荞麦亲和与不亲和授粉后柱头和花粉管中ATP酶的超微细胞化学定位

利用磷酸铅淀淀技术对荞麦（Fagopyrum esculentum Monch.)pin型植株分别进行亲和授粉和不亲和授粉后的柱头、花粉粒、花粉管进行了ATPase的超微细胞化学定位。结果表明（1）亲和授粉和不亲和授粉后0.5h,柱头细胞的ATPase活性反应水平较低或基于无酶活性;柱头表面、柱头上附着的花粉粒内ATPase活性在不亲和授粉时较低,亲和授粉时较高,花粉粒内ATPase主要定位于线粒体和精子细胞;（2）授粉后1.5h,不亲和授粉的柱头细胞及花粉管的ATPase活性均较低,花粉管停止生长,细胞质开始解体;而亲和授粉的柱头细胞及花粉管的ATPase活性均较高,ATPase主要定位于柱头细胞的质膜、胞基质以及花粉管的壁、质体的膜、高尔基体、线粒体上。根据不同时期不同部位ATPase活性的差异,我们认为荞麦发生自交不亲和时,花粉管在花柱中停止生长不仅是因此花粉管得不到花柱中的营养物质而引起的,可能也与花粉管自身物质代谢发生障碍有关。

葡萄果实发育过程中果肉细胞超微结构的观察

用透射电镜观察了“巨峰”葡萄(Vitis vinifera×V.labrusca)果实3个发育时期中果肉细胞超微结构的变化。果实第一次快速生长期的果肉细胞超微结构表现出物质和能量代谢旺盛的特点。缓慢生长期的果实虽外部形态平静少变,但果肉细胞超微结构表现出深刻的变化:细胞核形状特化为裂瓣状是最显著的特点;线粒体数目丰富;粗面内质网槽库膨大形成的囊泡富集,出现向液泡汇融和向质膜靠近的现象;质膜内陷;液泡膜完整。另外,原生质也出现一些降解的现象。但总体结构特点表明果肉细胞在此期处于十分活跃的物质周转代谢和信息交换过程中。果实第二次快速生长期果肉细胞超微结构表现出衰老降解的特点,但线粒体结构依然完整,数量仍然丰富,原生质膜也保持了很好的完整性,这似乎与维持第二次快速生长或成熟有关。     

Ultrastructural studies of developing goat oocytes in vitro

The structure and distribution of organelles within developing goat oocytes at various stages of incubation were studied. In oocytes with 5 or more layers of cumulus cells, at 0 h of incubation, the zona pellucida had developed although zonation was not evident. Lipid bodies were present but no mitochondria were observed. At 20 h, the zona pellucida had differentiated into thicker and thinner regions. Clusters of membrane-bound electron-transparent bodies were present in the perivitelline space. The mitochondria were fully developed, distributed evenly and usually in close proximity with dilated endoplasmic reticula. Cortical granules were distributed at the periphery. At 40 h of incubation, a number of mitochondria was hooded. In oocytes of 2 to 4 layers of cumulus cells at 0 h, the zona pellucida was penetrated by cumulus cell processes, and the mitochondria were not well developed. However, in 20-h incubated oocytes, fully developed mitochondria, many of which were hooded, could be observed. Clusters of membrane-bound electron-transparent bodies were also observed, while cortical granules were at the periphery. In cumulus-free oocytes, zonation within the zona pellucida was indistinct. Very few vesicles and lipid bodies were observed. At 20 h, mitochondria were sparsely distributed and were not well developed and lacked cristae. At 40 h, the zona pellucida was less compact, and the membrane-bound electron-transparent bodies were less numerous compared with those of the other groups. Endoplasmic reticula were not dilated, and cortical granules were few and had no definite pattern of distribution.     

Ultrastructural features of Aloe ciliaris pollen

Summary Both the internal anatomy and the external morphology of the mature pollen grain of Aloe ciliaris have been studied, together with the cytological changes occurring during pollen activation. In mature pollen, the generative cell (GC) and the vegetative nucleus (VN) are closely associated with each other, and both can be found in the central part of the grain. In the generative cytoplasm, some organelles and microtubular bundles are present. In the vegetative cell, dictyosomes, stacks of rough endoplasmic reticulum, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, ribosomes, and masses of fibrillar material have been described. During pollen activation, important changes occur in both the generative and vegetative cells (VC). In the GC, the microtubular bundles become clearly visible, and the GC and VC gradually move towards the germ pore. The RER cisterns become free from the stacks, and organelles, such as dictyosomes, become very active. The fibrillar masses gradually decrease in number, and the individual fibrils become more evident and clearer in resolution.This research was carried out in the framework of contract no.

冬小麦低温春化过程中茎尖细胞超微结构的变化与玉米赤霉烯酮的关系

玉米赤霉烯酮(zearalenone, ZEN)是Stob等于1962年首先从玉米赤霉菌培养物中分离出的次生代谢产物,它具有动物雌性激素的作用,也能促进某些真菌形成子实体,被认为是真菌的一种性激素,80年代初发现亦存在于高等植物体内。多年的研究结果表明,ZEN与植物的许多发育过程,包括春化作用、光周期诱导以及授粉受精过程均有密切的关系,可能ZEN参与了小麦成花诱导过程的调控,但其调控机制不明。为进一步研究小麦春化过程中茎尖细胞超微结构的变化与ZEN的相关性,我们以春化过程中的冬小麦幼芽为材料,对茎尖细胞超微结构以及与之相应的ZEN含量变化进行了分析。     

Preliminary observations on the formation of the male germ unit in pollen tubes ofCyphomandra betacea sendt.

Summary The structure of the generative cell and its association with the vegetative nucleus in the pollen tube ofCyphomandra betacea Sendt. were observed with the electron microscope. The generative cell, bounded by its own plasma membrane and the inner plasma membrane of the vegetative cell, possesses the cytoplasmic extension which lies within the embayments of a vegetative nucleus. The generative cell contains the normal complement of organelles and, especially, microtubules which cluster into several groups adjacent to the plasma membrane, oriented along the longitudinal axis of the cell. In the pollen tube reaching the lower end of the style aftersemivivo pollination, both of the sperm cells are elongated and polyribosomes and microtubules are the outstanding feature in the cytoplasm. The two sperm cells are connected by a common transverse cell wall, while cytoplasmic channels exist in both the periplasm of the two sperm cells and the transverse wall. The leading sperm cell (S_vn) is closely associated with the vegetative nucleus. Thus the present study demonstrates the existence of the male germ unit in the pollen tube ofC. betacea. The possible cytoplasmic continuity between the sperm cells and between the gametes and vegetative cell is considered.Abbreviations S_vn sperm cell physically associated with the vegetative nucleus - S_ua sperm cell unassociated with the vegetative nucleus - RER rough endoplasmic reticulum - SER smooth endoplasmic reticulum     

An observation on fine structure of conidia of sphaerotheca pannosa (wallr.) lév. attacking leaves of roses

Summary Fine structures of conidia ofSphaerotheca pannosa, the causal fungus of powdery mildew of rose plants were investigated. The cell wall of conidia was relatively thin and consisted of two layers. Nuclei, mitochondria, endoplasmic reticula and vacuoles were identified in the conidia, and there were many unknown vesicles just inside the plasma membrane. Usually the conidia were uninucleate, but before the germination the nucleus divided into two. Vacuole held a number of osmiophilic globules which were located along the tonoplast, and in large magnifications they appeared as aggregation of small electron-transparent globules when fixed with KMnO₄ solution. In a germ tube one large mitochondrion and many endoplasmic reticula were found.Contribution from the Laboratory of Plant Pathology, Kyoto University, No. 174.     

Morphology of the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula of chorion laeve cytotrophoblasts: their resemblance to villous syncytiotrophoblasts rather than villous cytotrophoblasts

We examined the morphological features of the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticula of chorion laeve cytotrophoblasts from term human fetal membranes, and compared them with those of syncytiotrophoblasts and cytotrophoblasts from human placental villi. Ultrastructural enzyme histochemistry of cytochrome c oxidase and glucose-6-phosphatase were used as cytochemical markers for these intracellular organelles. Chorion laeve cytotrophoblasts possessed abundant endoplasmic reticula, and small mitochondria with a few cristae, which were characteristic of villous syncytiotrophoblasts rather than villous cytotrophoblasts. As for these organellar structures, statistical analysis confirmed similarities between chorion laeve cytotrophoblasts and villous syncytiotrophoblasts, but significant differences between laeve cytotrophoblasts and villous cytotrophoblasts. Though these two cytotrophoblasts originated from one common cell in early placental development, they exhibited quite different organellar morphology during placental/chorioamniotic differentiation. Considering previous data, we concluded that chorion laeve cytotrophoblasts were metabolically active cells, similar to villous syncytiotrophoblasts, performing many functions in fetal membrane physiology.
