冠突伪尾柱虫的腹皮层纤毛器微管胞器及其形态发生

The generation and consolidation of a radial array of cortical microtubules in developing guard cells of Allium cepa L.

The initiation and development of a radial array of microtubules (MTs) in guard cells of A. cepa was studied using immunofluorescence microscopy of tubulin in isolated epidermal layers. Soon after the completion of cytokinesis, MTs originate in the cortex adjacent to a central strip of the new, anticlinically oriented ventral wall separating the two guard cells. Cortical MTs extend from the mid-region of the central strip toward the cell edge where the ventral wall joins the inner periclinal wall. They then spread in a fan-like formation along the periclinal wall and gradually extend along the lateral and end walls as well. Many MTs criss-cross at various angles as they arc past the edge formed by the junction of the ventral and periclinal walls, but they do not terminate there, indicating that, contrary to previous report, the edge is not involved in MT initiation. Instead, the mid-region of the central strip appears to function as a planar MT-organizing zone. Initially, MTs radiate from this zone through the inner cytoplasm as well as the cortex. During cell expansion, however, the cortical MTs increasingly predominate and consolidate into relatively thick, long bundles, while the frequency of non-cortical MTs diminishes. The apparent density of MTs per unit surface area is maintained as the cells expand and gradually flex into an elliptical shape. The guard cells eventually separate completely at the pore site. The entire process is accomplished within about 12 h.Abbreviations DIC differential interference contrast - GC guard cell - MT microtubule To whom correspondence should be addressed.     

Morphology and infraciliature of three species of Metaurostylopsis (Ciliophora, Stichotrichia): M. songi n. sp., M. salina n. sp., and M. marina (Kahl 1932) from sediments, saline ponds, and coastal waters

Two new urostylid ciliates, Metaurostylopsis songi n. sp. and Metaurostylopsis salina n. sp. and Metaurostylopsis marina (Kahl 1932) are investigated using live observation and protargol impregnation. These species were isolated in Korea from intertidal sediments, saline ponds, and coastal waters. Metaurostylopsis songi is in vivo about 120 microm x 25 microm, has a slenderly ellipsoidal body, colorless cortical granules in rows on ventral and dorsal body sides, about 54 macronuclear nodules, 28-47 adoral membranelles, five frontal, two or three frontoterminal and six or seven transverse cirri, and 9-12 midventral cirral pairs followed posteriorly by 1-3 single cirri. In vivo M. salina is about 60 microm x 25 microm, has a pyriform body, colorless cortical granules irregularly arranged, about 45 macronuclear nodules, 18-23 adoral membranelles, three frontal, three to five frontoterminal and two to five transverse cirri, and four or five midventral cirral pairs followed posteriorly by five to seven single cirri. Both species have three marginal cirral rows on each body side and 3 long dorsal kineties. The Korean specimens of M. marina match the Chinese population in all main features. Metaurostylopsis songi differs from M. marina by the more slender body, the number of frontal cirri (invariably five vs. four), and the arrangement of cortical granules (in rows on dorsal and ventral cortex vs. only along dorsal kineties and anterior body margin). Metaurostylopsis salina differs from its congeners by the distinctly smaller size, the pyriform body shape, the scattered cortical granules (vs. in rows), and number of frontal cirri. It differs from M. marina also by the number of midventral cirral pairs (four or five vs. seven to 11).     

Reconstruction of the flagellar apparatus in Ploeotia costata (Euglenozoa) and its relationship to other euglenoid flagellar apparatuses

The flagellar apparatus of Ploeotia costata Farmer and Triemer was reconstructed using serial sectioning and TEM. The flagellar apparatus is similar to other euglenoids having two flagella arising from basal bodies connected by a striated fiber, and three asymmetrically arranged roots. The flagella emerge subapically from between the two ventral pellicle strips. The dorsal flagellum is 1/2 the body length and actively pulls the cell, while the ventral flagellum is twice the body length and drags along the substrate surface. The ventral and dorsal roots are on the opposite sides of their respective basal bodies, while the intermediate root is associated with the ventral flagellum on the side closest to the dorsal basal body. The dorsal root lines the dorsal side of the reservoir and after giving rise to the dorsal band lines the right side of the reservoir/canal. The ventral and intermediate roots join at the reservoir forming the intermediate-ventral root, which lines the left and ventral sides of the reservoir/canal. There was no evidence of a microtubule-reinforced pocket in P. costata. Comparisons with Ploeotia vilrea, Lentomonas applanatum, and related flagellar apparatuses led to the conclusion that the basic euglenoid flagellar structure is symplesiomorphic but with enough variation to be taxonomically diagnostic.     

A TEM study on pre—excystment cellular structures of Euplotes encysticus

Right before the excystment of an Euplotes encysticus sawtooth-like folds appeared among the pellicle plasmalemma,the inner and outer alveolar membranes were still sticking together,and were not distinguishable.Microtubular layers already formed at the sites beneath the dorsal cortical pellicle corresponding to vegetative cells,but they still proceed to be organized on the ventral structures.Cristae,highly-tangled with tubular-type structures,appeared on the mitochondria,and were morphologically similar to that of vegetative cells.In the cortical ciliatures,such as ciliary shafts,kinetosomes,surrounding fibrillar cirral baskets,and attached structures of ciliatures,etc.,they are different from those in resting cysts which are degenerated or lost.All the ciliature microtubules of ciliary shafts are of the 9 2 pattern,but the microtubule-like structure aggregates at tripletmicrotubule centers of many kinetosmes,are still under various stages of differentiation.Microtubules beneath the kinetosomal rows are of a developmentally elongated stage;crowded chromatins of various shapes and sizes are found in macronucleus,but there are no nuclear pores (formed by nuclear membrane as in resting cysts) on the nuclear membrane where these chromatins attached.     

Microtubule organization during development of stomatal complexes inLolium rigidum

Summary Microtubule (MT) arrays in stomatal complexes ofLolium have been studied using cryosectioning and immunofluorescence microscopy. This in situ analysis reveals that the arrangement of MTs in pairs of guard cells (GCs) or subsidiary cells (SCs) within a complex is very similar, indicating that MT deployment is closely coordinated during development. In premitotic guard mother cells (GMCs), MTs of the transverse interphase MT band (IMB) are reorganized into a longitudinal array via a transitory array in which the MTs appear to radiate from the cell edges towards the centre of the walls. Following the longitudinal division of GMCs, cortical MTs are reinstated in the GCs at the edge of the periclinal and ventral walls. The MTs become organized into arrays which radiate across the periclinal walls, initially from along the length of the ventral wall and later only from the pore site. As the GCs elongate, the organization of MTs and the patterns of wall expansion differ on the internal and external periclinal walls. A final reorientation of MTs from transverse to longitudinal is associated with the elongation and constriction of GCs to produce mature complexes. During cytokinesis in the subsidiary mother cells (SMCs), MTs appear around the reforming nucleus in the daughter epidermal cells but appear in the cortex of the SC once division is complete. Our results are thus consistent with the idea that interphase MTs are nucleated in the cell cortex in all cells of the stomatal complex but not in adjacent epidermal cells.Abbreviations GMC guard mother cell - GC guard cell - IMB interphase microtubule band - MT microtubule - PPB preprophase band - SMC subsidiary mother cell - SC subsidiary cell     

Microtubule dynamics are involved in stomatal movement ofVicia faba L.

Summary To obtain a full picture of microtubule (MT) behavior during the opening and closure of guard cells we have microinjected living guard cells ofVicia faba with fluorescent tubulin, examined fine detail by freeze shattering fixed cells, and used drug treatments to confirm aspects of MT dynamics. Cortical MTs in fully opened guard cells are transversely oriented from the ventral wall to the dorsal wall. When the stomatal aperture was decreased by darkness, these MTs became twisted and patched and broken down into diffuse fragments when stomata were closed. When the closed stomata were opened in response to light, the MTs in guard cells changed from the diffused, transitional pattern back to one in which MTs are transversely oriented from stomatal pore to dorsal wall. This observation indicates a linkage between these MT changes and stomatal movement. To confirm this, we used the MT-stabilizing agent taxol and the MT-depolymerizing herbicide oryzalin and observed their effects on the stomatal aperture and MT dynamics. Both drugs suppressed light-induced stomatal opening and dark-induced closure. MTs are known to be necessary for maintaining the static kidney shape of guard cells; the present data now show that the dynamic properties of polymeric tubulin accompany changes in shape with stomatal movement and may be functionally involved in stomatal movement.

应用扫描电镜研究了一种游仆虫皮层纤维结构。结果显示,口围带托架由横向组排在一起的小膜托架单元组成,每个小膜托架是由40-50 nm直径的纤维编织成的长方形薄片;波动膜托架是横向平行排列和纵向平行排列两部分共60多股纤维交错编织成的网状结构;额腹横棘毛区表膜下含有纵纤维层、球形纤维层和深部纤维层三层纤维,其纵纤维层在相应于游仆虫皮层脊（或脊和唇）之间的表膜下方被纵沟分成几部分;背面表膜下含有纵纤维,这层纤维下似乎也有球形纤维层。此外,作者也推测了这些皮层纤维结构在游仆虫皮层形态的保持、支持纤毛器和纤毛器运动及形态发生等方面的作用。     

Flagellar apparatus duplication and partition, flagellar transformation during division in Entosiphon sulcatum.

Electron microscopic examination of serial sections of developmental stages of the flagellar apparatus during the cell cycle indicates that the basal bodies replicate in a semi-conservative manner and that there is a flagellar transformation over two cell cycles in euglenoids as in other algal flagellate groups. Two new pairs of basal bodies are formed, each pair comprising one parental and one newly developed basal body. There is a transformation of the parental dorsal flagellum containing a thin paraxonemal rod into a ventral flagellum bearing a large paraxonemal rod. Observation of the roots associated with the basal bodies shows that the dorsal root transforms into an intermediate root over two cell cycles following the transformation of the dorsal basal body/flagellum to a ventral one. Also the two ventral roots are newly formed in relation to the formation of two new phagotrophic apparatuses during the division. After the breakage of the connection between the parental basal bodies the two new pairs move apart and are guided/drawn by transverse microfibrillar bundles which connect them to opposite sides of the pellicle. The axis of the separation/migration of the pairs of basal bodies is parallel to the axis of elongation of the dividing nucleus.     

Reinstatement of Microtubule Arrays from Cortical Nucleating Sites in Stomatal Complexes of Lolium rigidum Following Depolymerization of Microtubules by Oryzalin and High Pressure

Immunofluorescence visualization of microtubule (MT) arraysin stomatal complexes of Lolium rigidum shows that disassemblyof the arrays can be successfully achieved using oryzalin orhigh pressure treatments. Under conditions allowing for MT recovery,MTs reappear within an hour after oryzalin or within 5 min afterhigh pressure treatment. During recovery guard mother cells(GMCs) nucleate MTs at sites distributed randomly in the cellcortex. Even after 22 h of recovery the MTs are not arrangedinto any configuration found in untreated tissue. This inabilityto reorganize their MTs after treatment makes GMCs more sensitiveto the loss of MTs than are other cells of the leaf. In guardcells (GCs) MTs reappear around the pore at the junction ofthe periclinal and ventral walls. They subsequently appear throughoutmost of the cell cortex and the majority of stomatal complexesrecover fully organized MT arrays indistinguishable from thosein untreated cells. The results support and extend ultrastructuraland immunofluorescence observations that suggest that MTs inGCs of developing stomata are nucleated in the cell cortex. ²Present address: Department of Biology, The University of SouthwesternLouisiana, Lafayette, Louisiana 70504-2451, U.S.A.
