Scanning electron microscopy of microspore embryogenesis inBrassica spp.   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Scanning electron microscopy was employed to study and compare microspore embryogenesis in vitro with pollen development in planta inBrassica napus andB. oleracea. An exine with its specific pattern had already been formed, when microspores were released from tetrads. During subsequent pollen development, microspores increased in size and continued to strengthen the exine. Upon in vitro culture, all microspores, i.e., embryogenic and nonembryogenic, initially showed the same morphological features. After 24 h in culture, the microspores had increased in size. Thereafter, embryogenesis was indicated in some microspores by two different morphological changes. One featured an expansion in volume of the cell cluster around the germination aperture (type I), the other showed cell cluster volume expansion over the entire microspore surface (type II). Two-thirds of embryogenic microspores in bothB. napus andB. oleracea demonstrated type I development. When followed by fluorescence microscopy, in vitro culture of microspores revealed cultures with a high embryo frequency were those with a high frequency of symmetrical division.Abbreviations SEM Scanning electron microscopy - TEM Transmission electron microscopy  相似文献

The correlation between the phenologic stage of the inflorescence and the microspore development stage was studied. Cytological examinations of the development of microspores during in vitro anther culture of cork oak (Quercus suber L.), were carried out during the first four weeks of culture. To observe the division occurring in the microspores, anthers were taken randomly from the cultures after heat shock treatment and were stained with DAPI. Most of the anthers responding to a heat stress treatment contained 91 % vacuolated microspores, indicating that this developmental stage is responsive to embryogenesis induction in cork-oak microspores. After the heat shock treatment some cork-oak microspores were induced and initiated the embryogenic pathway with the occurrence of numerous symmetric mitosis, producing structures with two to ten or more nuclei. These lead to the formation of high numbers of multicellular cork-oak microspores (pro-embryos). Twenty-forty days after induction, small white globular and cotyledonal embryos were observed, which further developed root and shoot, regenerating plantlets.  相似文献

Microspore cryopreservation is a potentially powerful method for long-term storage of germplasm for in vitro embryo production in plant species. In this study, several factors influencing embryo production following the ultra-low temperature (–196 °C in liquid nitrogen) storage of isolated microspores of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.) were investigated. Microspores were prepared in cryogenic vials and subjected to various cooling treatments before immersion in liquid nitrogen for varying periods. Efficiency of microspore cryopreservation was reflected by in vitro embryo production from frozen microspores. Of all the cooling treatments, microspores treated with a cooling rate of 0.25% °C/min and a cooling terminal temperature of –35 °C before immersion in liquid nitrogen produced the highest embryo yields (18% and 40% of unfrozen controls in two genotypes, respectively). Fast thawing in a 35 °C water bath was necessary to recover a high number of embryos from microspore samples being frozen at a higher cooling rate, while thawing speed did not affect samples after freezing at a slower cooling rate. The storage density of cryopreserved microspores affected embryo production. Storage at the normal culture density (8×104 microspores/ml) was less efficient for embryo production than at high densities (4×106 microspores/ml and 1.6×107 microspores/ml), although no significant difference was found between the high densities. Evaluation of plant lines derived from frozen microspores indicated no variation in isozyme pattern and no enhanced cold tolerance of these lines. Isolated microspores of B. napus could be stored for extended period for in vitro embryo production.  相似文献

The effect of media composition on microspore culture was investigated in one tetraploid and two diploid potatoes. The viability of microspores isolated from 4.5 to 5 mm buds was in the range of 33 to 52%. In media for anther culture, microspores showed no further development and lost viability within 2 days. In M1 medium containing mineral components, sucrose, uridine, cytidine, myo-inositol, glutamine and lactalbumin hydrolysate, 18 to 37% of microspores underwent mitosis within 14 days. Up to 95% of the divisions were symmetric and produced equal nuclei. Some symmetrically divided microspores eventually produced structures with 3 to 10 nuclei. The proportion of the total microspore population producing multinuclear structures reached 9% in diploid clones responsive to anther culture and 1 to 2% in recalcitrant cv. Borka. Symmetric mitoses in M1 medium were induced in the presence of glutamine and lactalbumin hydrolysate. Nucleosides and myo-inositol had no effect on microspore division. In the absence of all organic components except sucrose, most mitoses were asymmetric, formation of multinuclear structures was reduced and most pollen accumulated starch indicative of gametophytic fate. In complete M1 medium, starch accumulation was suppressed. Suppression also occurred in asymmetrically divided microspores, indicating a direct inhibition of pollen development independent of the mode of microspore division. This inhibitory effect of M1 medium might present a stress which triggers the induction of symmetric microspore division and subsequent formation of multinuclear structures. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

Protoplasts isolated from cotyledons of a number of cultivars of Brassica napus, B. campestris and B. oleracea were cultured in different media to study the characteristics of cell wall regeneration and cell division at early stages of culture. Time course analysis using Calcolfluor White staining indicated that cell wall regeneration began in some protoplasts 2–4 h following isolation in all cultivars. 30–70% of cultured cotyledon protoplasts exhibited cell wall regeneration at 24 h and about 60–90% at 72 h after the initiation of culture. Results also indicated that a low percentage (0.4–5.4%) of cultured cotyledon protoplasts entered their first cell division one day after initial culture in all twelve cultivars. The percentage of dividing cells increased linearly up to 40% from 1 to 7 day, indicating that cotyledon protoplasts of Brassica had a high capacity for cell division. Factors that influence the level of cell wall regeneration and cell division during cotyledon protoplast culture have been investigated in this study. Cotyledons from seedlings germinated in a dark/dim light regime provided a satisfactory tissue source for protoplast isolation and culture for all Brassica cultivars used. The percentages of protoplasts exhibiting cell wall regeneration and division were significantly influenced by cultivar and species examined, with protoplasts from all five cultivars of B. campestris showing much lower rates of cell wall regeneration than those of B. napus and B. oleracea over 24–120 h, and with the levels of cell division in B. napus cultivars being much higher than those in B. campestris and B. oleracea over 1–9 days. The capacity of cell wall regeneration and cell division in cotyledon protoplast culture of the Brassica species appears under strong genetic control. Cell wall regeneration in protoplast culture was not affected by the culture medium used. In contrast, the composition of the culture medium played an important role in determining the level of cell division, and the interaction between medium type and cultivars was very significant.Abbreviations BA benzylaminopurine - CPW Composition of Protoplast Washing-solution - CW Calcolfluor White - EDTA ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid - KT Kinetin - Md MS modified Murashige and Skoog medium - 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA -naphthaleneacetic acid - IAA indole-3-acetic acid - PAR photosynthetically active radiation - SDS sodium dodecyl sulfate  相似文献

Summary Development of asparagus microspores in cold-treated buds of varying sizes and shed microspores from these buds in in vitro culture were observed cytologically for the G459 genotype. Before cold pretreatment, more than 75% of the microspores in flower buds of the 1.4–1.6, 1.7–1.9, 2.0–2.2, 2.3–2.5, and 2.6–2.8 mm size classes were at the early-, mid-, late-uninucleate, early-, and late-binucleate stages, respectively. After 7 d in cold treatment, percentages of microspores at different stages changed in all flower buds. Most notable was the appearance of binucleate microspores resulting from symmetric rather than asymmetric division. For flower buds of 1.7–1.9, 2.0–2.2, and 2.3–2.5 mm size classes, 4.9%, 27.2%, and 11.4% of the microspores had divided symmetrically, respectively. When microspores from buds of each size category were cultured in androgenesis induction medium, only microspores completing symmetric pollen mitosis I during cold treatment were observed to divide further, and calluses were only obtained from microspores of flower bud size classes where symmetric divisions were observed after several days of cold treatment. Significant correlations existed among microspore callus yield, the percentage of late-uninucleate microspores in vivo before cold treatment, and the frequency of symmetric pollen mitosis I after 7 d of cold treatment. Consequently, asparagus microspore androgenesis may occur through one developmental pathway, where a symmetric first mitotic division is a prerequisite for continued development.  相似文献

Anthers cultures of six Polish cultivars of pasture lupin (Lupinus L.) were examined for their androgenic response. Anthers with microspores at the uninucleate stage were isolated from flower buds and cultured in liquid media. Better viability of androgenetic structures was obtained when donor plants had grown under field as opposed to greenhouse conditions. A density of five anthers per 0.5 ml medium was more conducive to androgenetic induction than 25 anthers per 0.5 ml medium. Addition of 5% maltose to the induction medium and culture at 25°C without pre-treatment of flowers, buds or anthers promoted microspore release and division. The greatest frequency of androgenic callus, ~70% was developed from cvs. Katon, Wat (white lupin), in contrast to cvs. Legat, Juno (yellow lupin), Polonez and Sonet (narrow-leafed lupin) with callus induction ~30–40%. Despite various combinations of media tested, plant regeneration was not obtained from anther derived callus.  相似文献

Microspores of several genotypes of Brassica campestris ssp. parachinensis have been cultured in vitro and induced to undergo embryogenesis and plant formation. Conditions favourable for embryogenesis in this species include a bud size of 2–2.9 mm, NLN-13 culture medium (Nitsch and Nitsch 1967; Lichter 1981, 1982; Swanson 1990), and an induction through exposure to 32°C for a period of 48 h. Longer periods of an elevated temperature for induction of embryogenesis resulted in embryo abortion at early developmental stages. With the protocol developed here, microspores of 60–80% of donor plants could be induced to produce embryos, although embryo yields were low, i.e. 2–5 embryos per 10 buds. Some genotypes responded to culture conditions with high numbers of embryo formation (100–150 embryos per 10 buds) but most of these subsequently failed to mature. The pattern of cell division and morphological changes of the microspores in culture were studied using various microscopic techniques.  相似文献

The dynamics of nuclear DNA synthesis were analysed in isolated microspores and pollen of Brassica napus that were induced to form embryos. DNA synthesis was visualized by the immunocytochemical labelling of incorporated Bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), applied continuously or as a pulse during the first 24 h of culture under embryogenic (32 °C) and non-embryogenic (18 °C) conditions. Total DNA content of the nuclei was determined by microspectrophotometry. At the moment of isolation, microspore nuclei and nuclei of generative cells were at the G1, S or G2 phase. Vegetative nuclei of pollen were always in G1 at the onset of culture. When microspores were cultured at 18 °C, they followed the normal gametophytic development; when cultured at 32 °C, they divided symmetrically and became embryogenic or continued gametophytic development. Because the two nuclei of the symmetrically divided microspores were either both labelled with BrdU or not labelled at all, we concluded that microspores are inducible to form embryos from the G1 until the G2 phase. When bicellular pollen were cultured at 18 °C, they exhibited labelling exclusively in generative nuclei. This is comparable to the gametophytic development that occurs in vivo. Early bicellular pollen cultured at 32 °C, however, also exhibited replication in vegetative nuclei. The majority of vegetative nuclei re-entered the cell cycle after 12 h of culture. Replication in the vegetative cells preceded division of the vegetative cell, a prerequisite for pollen-derived embryogenesis.  相似文献

The objective of this work was to enhance the quality and quantity of microspore-derived embryos of cruciferous species by using polyethylene glycol (PEG) to replace sucrose in the culture medium. The main advantage in using PEG is that it produces embryos that are morphologically more similar to zygotic embryos and have enhanced germination capabilities. When microspores were cultured in full strength NLN medium supplemented with 25% (w/v) PEG, the addition of 3 ml of full strength NLN with 13% (w/v) sucrose at 14 d was beneficial for embryo quality and quantity. Experiments showed that this PEG system could be used for a number of Brassica napus cultivars, as well as a number of other cruciferous species. PEG enhanced microspore embryogenesis in B. nigra, Crambe abyssinica, and Raphanus oleifera. Microspore-derived embryos were obtained from all cruciferous species evaluated (B. alboglabra, B. carinata, B. juncea, B. rapa, B. nigra, R. oleifera, Crambe abyssinica, Sinapis alba) using either sucrose or PEG as the osmoticum. Microspore embryogenesis was induced in B. napus in PEG-based cultures without a 32°C heat shock (i.e., 4, 15, 18, and 24°C). These temperature conditions were non-inductive when sucrose was used as the osmoticum. Spontaneous chromosome doubling occurred in 64–92% of the regenerated plants when PEG was used in the NLN culture medium, whereas in culture medium containing sucrose, the spontaneous doubling rate was 2–18%.  相似文献

Androgenesis is a phenomenon in which microspores are made to bypass the sexual pathway and follow the sporophytic mode of development to generate new plants without the intervention of fertilization under specialized in vitro conditions. Microspore culture provides an ideal system, with a large, relatively uniform population of haploid cells, for use in mutant selection, genetic transformation and in studies on the molecular mechanism of induction of androgenesis and embryogenesis. This paper involves a study on establishing a reproducible and efficient protocol for microspore embryogenesis in various varieties of Brassica juncea. The genotype had a pronounced effect on androgenic response in microspore cultures. The cultivar Rajat exhibited the most response, producing around 3500 embryos/100 buds. The microspores of B. juncea cv. PR-45 from ed plants maintained at a day/night temperature of 10 °C/5 °C form embryos with suspensors with varied morphology. The microspore embryos germinated to produce plants with frequencies. These plants exhibited 52% survival and 74% fertility.  相似文献

The influence of maltose and growth regulators on microspore culture response was investigated in japonica rice. High frequency of callus induction of isolated microspores was obtained with liquid medium containing MS salts, 100 mg l–1 myo-inositol, 1 mg l–1 thiamine-HCl, 500 mg l–1 glutamine, 60 g l–1 maltose, and several growth regulators. The effect of maltose on promoting callus formation was associated with keeping a high proportion of swollen microspores after 5 day preculture and increasing the microspore division rate on the 3rd day after culture initiation. No significant effect of maltose in place of sucrose on plantlet regeneration was seen in regeneration medium. Among the growth regulators tested, the combination of auxin 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (1 mg l–1), naphthaleneacetic acid (1 mg l–1), and cytokinin (6-benzyl-aminopurine 1 mg l–1) in the medium proved to be much better for callus formation than in the other media, and the percentage of callusing microspores of that medium reached 0.86%. Indole-3-acetic acid (0.5 mg l–1) and kinetin (2 mg l–1) in regeneration medium were beneficial for green plantlet differentiation. The results also showed that the frequencies of microspores initial division, callus formation and green plant regeneration varied among genotypes no matter what kind of growth regulator and sugar were used. Xiushui 117 was the best variety for callusing followed by 02428 & Taipei 309. Taipei 309 showed a good ability for green plantlet regeneration.Abbreviations 2,4-d 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid - NAA naphthaleneacetic acid - 6-BA 6-benzylaminopurine - KT kinetin - IAA indole-3 acetic acid  相似文献

Summary Populations of highly homogeneous uninucleate and binucleate microspores ofBrassica napus cv. Topas were obtained by bud selection and percoll fractionation. The development of the uninucleate and the binucleate microspores in culture was compared to thosein vivo using the fluorochrome DAPI to stain DNA. The major developmental pathway of the uninucleate microsporesin vitro resulted in embryo formation. The characteristic of this pathway was that the first division produced two diffusely stained nuclei and subsequent divisions gave rise to a multinucleate embryoid. The second pathway which occurred in a small number of the uninucleate microspores led to callus formation. The majority of the binucleate microsporesin vitro followed the developmental pattern of their counterpartsin vivo and were not embryogenic. The embryogenic binucleate microspores produced embryos through the divisions of the vegetative nucleus.Plant Research Centre Contribution # 1147  相似文献

Summary Protoplasts were isolated from Agrobacterium rhizogenes A4-transformed cell line of Medicago sativa L. The highest yield of protoplasts (4.2×106 per g fresh weight) was obtained from 12-d-old calluses after being subeultured on fresh medium. The viability of protoplasts reached over 80%. Protoplasts were induced to undergo sustained divisions when cultured in Durand et al. (DPD) medium supplemented with 2 mgl−1 (9.05 μM) 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, 0,2mgl−1 (0.93 μM) kinetin, 0.3 M mannitol, 2% (w/v) sucrose, and 500 mgl−1 casein hydrolyzate at a plating density of 1.0×105 per ml. An agarose-beads culture method was appropriate for protoplast division of transformed alfalfa. The division frequency was about 30%. Numerous hairy roots were induced from protocalluses on Murashige and Skoog medium without growth regulators. Paper electrophoresis revealed that all of the regenerated hairy roots tested synthesized the corresponding opines. This protoplast culture system would be valuable for further somatic hybridization in forage legumes.  相似文献

Microspores of Brassica napus L. cv. Topas, undergo embryogenesis when cultured at 32.5 °C for the first 18–24 h and then at 25 °C. The first division in heat-treated microspores is a symmetric division in contrast to the asymmetric division found after the first pollen mitosis in-planta or in microspores cultured continuously at 25 °C. This asymmetric division is unique in higher plants as it results in daughter cells separated by a non-consolidated wall. The cytoskeleton has an important role in such morphological changes. We examined microtubule (MT) organization during the first 24 h of heat induction in the embryogenic B. napus cv. Topas and the non-embryogenic B. napus breeding line 0025. Preprophase bands (PPBs) of MTs appeared in cv. Topas microspores in late uninucleate microspores and in prophase figures after 4–8 h of heat treatment. However, more than 60% of the PPBs were not continuous bands. In contrast, PPBs were never observed in pollen mitosis; MT strands radiated from the surface of the nuclear envelope throughout microspore maturation to the end of prophase of pollen mitosis I, during in-planta development and in microspores cultured at 25 °C. Following 24 h of heat treatment, over 95% of the microspores appeared to have divided symmetrically as indicated by the similar size of the daughter nuclei, but only 7–16% of the microspores eventually formed embryos. Discontinuous walls were observed in more than 50% of the divisions and it is probable that the discontinuous PPBs gave rise to such wall abnormalities which may then obstruct embryo development. Preprophase bands were not formed in heat-treated microspores of the non-embryogenic line 0025 and the ensuing divisions showed discontinuous walls. It is concluded that the appearance of PPBs in heat-induced microspores marks sporophytic development and that continuous PPBs are required for cell wall consolidation and embryogenesis. It follows that induced structures with two equally condensed nuclei, do not necessarily denote symmetric divisions. Received: 22 October 1998 / Accepted: 28 November 1998  相似文献

Anthers of Capsicum annuum L. were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium containing 0.1 mg l−1 NAA and 0.1 mg l−1 kinetin. Inoculated anthers were subjected to 31 °C and development of microspores in anthers of varying stages was observed cytologically using 4′-6-diamidino-2-phenylindol-2HCl (DAPI). Pepper was characterized by a strong asynchrony of pollen development within a single anther. Percentage of pollen at different stages changed with the culture period, and the proportion of dead pollen increased drastically from day 2 after culture. Microspores that were cultured at the late-uninucleate stage followed one of two developmental pathways. In the more common route, the first sporophytic division was asymmetric and produced what appeared to be a typical bicellular pollen. Embryogenic pollen was formed by repeated divisions of the vegetative nucleus. In the second pathway, which occurred in fewer microspores, the first division was symmetric and both nuclei divided repeatedly to form embryogenic pollen. In early-bicellular pollen, sporophytic pollen was produced through division of the vegetative nucleus. In mid-bicellular pollen, the generative nucleus may undergo division to produce two or more sperm-like nuclei. However, division of the generative nucleus alone to form the embryo was never observed. The anther stage optimal for embryo production contained a large proportion (>75%) of early-binucleate pollen. Associations were found among the percentage of early-binucleate pollen, the frequency of embryogenic multinucleate pollen, and the yield of pollen embryos.  相似文献

Summary Conditions favourable to embryogenesis from isolated microspores of Brassica rapa L. ssp. oleifera (canola quality) were identified. A population with enhanced responsiveness for microspore embryogenesis (C200) was synthesized by crossing individual plants showing microspore embryogenic potential. For optimal microspore embryogenesis, buds (2–3mm in length, containing mid-late uninucieate microspores) were collected from older plants (2 months old) and microspores isolated and washed in iron-free B5 medium. NLN medium with its iron content reduced to half was beneficial for initial microspore culture. An elevated temperature(33–35°C) during the first day of culture, followed by maintenance at 25°C resulted in dozens of embryos from each isolation (about 100 buds). Seeds were obtained from plants regenerated from microsporederived embryos after colchicine treatment.  相似文献

Summary The present work establishes that isolated microspores of Ginkgo biloba L. cultured at densities of 1.5 to 5·104 per milliliter in Bourgin and Nitsch (1967) liquid medium are able to divide, both in the presence and in the absence of exogenous growth regulators, and to germinate by growing a pollen tube. In all experiments the microspores exhibited various modes of division leading to embryo formation in the liquid medium. Four weeks later, the microspores which had been previously submitted to various electrical stresses showed pro-embryo development earlier than those which had not. After ten weeks the number of embryos was found to be 300 to 5300 ml–1 following the experiments. When the embryos exhibited a slower growth in liquid medium, they were transferred onto various solid media for maturation. Two months later, embryos had proliferated visibly.Abbreviations BN Bourgin and Nitsch (1967) medium - IAA Indole-3-acetic acid - KIN Kinetin - GS Growth substances  相似文献

Caprella mutica Schurin is an epifaunal amphipod crustacean which originates in north-east Asia and has spread throughout the world, yet very little is known about fundamental aspects of this species biology. This paper examined the survivorship of C. mutica reared under laboratory conditions at 13–14 °C, 14 h light: 10 h dark photoperiod and fed commercial salmon feed, the diatom Cylindrotheca fusiformis Reumann and Lewin, the macroalgae, Fucus vesiculosus L. and given no additional feed. In addition, growth, maturation and reproduction of C. mutica fed C. fusiformis were assessed. No significant difference in survivorship of C. mutica was observed for the diet types over the experimental period. C. mutica was able to survive for upto 20 days without additional food. Average survival time of males and females fed the diatom, C. fusiformis was 68.8 d (range = 62–73 d) and 82.0 d (range = 76–92 d). Juvenile C. mutica emerged from the brood pouch at a body length of 1.33 mm and moulted at 5.0–11.0 day intervals. Males exhibited faster growth rates than females after Instar VII. Females produced their first brood at Instar VII, 24–26 days post-hatching and with an average body length of 8.5 mm. Each female had an average of two broods sequentially and these were released at 20.2 day intervals. Brood size for a single female increased from 11.3 (±9.9) hatchlings at Instar VII to 25.5 (±11.5) at Instar IX and the maximum number of hatchlings produced by a single female was 82. The results suggest that C. mutica exhibits a number of life-history traits that would potentially enable it to withstand global transportation and to rapidly become established in an introduced region, if environmental conditions are suitable.  相似文献

Microspore development in cultured maize anthers   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The present study follows in vivo and in vitro microspore development utilizing an anther culture-responsive maize genotype (Pa91×FR16) and a DNA-specific fluorescent dye (mithramycin). Cultured anthers were sampled at various times and scored for abnormal microspore divisions, multicellular masses, and embryo-like structures. The frequency of abnormal microspore divisions reached a peak during the first 7 days in culture and then declined. The vegetative nucleus was mitotically active in culture with over 50% of the induced microspores exhibiting this type of division. Multicellular masses and embryo-like structures first appeared in the 14 and 25 day samples, respectively. Most of the microspores did not reach the multicellular stage and an even greater mortality occurred during the formation of embryo-like structures.  相似文献
