Ovules of broad bean (Vicia faba L.) were studied to discloseultrastructural features, which can facilitate nutrient transportto the embryo sac from 10 d after pollination (DAP) to the matureseed. Fertilization occurs during the first 24 h after pollination.The endosperm is a coenocyte, which is eventually consumed bythe embryo. By 10 DAP the inner integument is degraded and theouter integument adjoins the embryo sac boundary. The heart-shapedembryo approaches the embryo sac boundary at two sites, whichhere are named contact zones. Small integument cells in theneighbourhood of the first formed contact zones become separatedby prominent intercellular spaces. A heterogenous scatteringmaterial, probably representing secretion products accumulatesin these spaces. By 14-16 DAP the integument exudate disappears,and the suspensor degenerates. As the contact zones increasein size, wall ingrowths form a bridging network in the narrowspace between the embryo sac boundary and the extra-embryonicpart of the endosperm wall. The epidermal cells of the embryoseparate adjacent to these zones, and develop conspicuous wallingrowths. At 20 DAP vacuoles showing various stages in formationof protein bodies appear in the cells of the embryo.Copyright1994, 1999 Academic Press Vicia faba, broad beans, ovule, seed, nutrient transport 相似文献

The three areas of food reserves in quinoa seeds are: a largecentral perisperm, a peripheral embryo and a one to two-celllayered endosperm surrounding the hypocotyl-radicle axis ofthe embryo. Cytochemical and ultrastructural analysis revealedthat starch grains occupy the cells of the perisperm, whilelipid bodies, protein bodies with globoid crystals of phytin,and proplastids with deposits of phytoferritin are the storagecomponents of the cells of the endosperm and embryo tissues.EDX analysis of the endosperm and embryo protein bodies revealedthat globoid crystals contain phosphorus, potassium and magnesium.These results are compared with studies on other perispermousseeds published to date.Copyright 1998 Annals of Botany Company Chenopodium quinoa,EDX analysis, phytoferritin, phytin, protein bodies, quinoa, seed structure, seed reserves, starch grains. 相似文献

我们观察了小麦与大麦杂交胚胎发育过程中,雌蕊各个组成部分发生的淀粉积累和转移的动态。结果如下: 1.胚乳和杂种胚早期发育过程中,子房壁和胚囊中淀粉的积累和动态的趋势与其他学者所作小麦自交的情况基本相同。2.当胚乳细胞充满胚囊而胚没有分化时,子房壁中的淀粉已极少,当胚乳解体时,子房壁中淀粉已几乎消失。可见,子房壁中淀粉的迅速消失与胚乳的迅速败育是平行的。3.胚囊发育的停滞与败育跟子房壁组织中淀粉的积累及对胚囊营养的正常供应有密切关系。4.花柱、珠被、珠心组织及胚囊中的助细胞和反足细胞,在整个杂种胚和胚乳发育过程中,始终不存在淀粉粒。助细胞胚亦和助细胞一样,无淀粉粒的存在。 相似文献

The ovule is anatropous and bitegmic. The nuceIlar cells have disorganized except the chalazal proliferating tissue. The curved embryo sac comprises an egg apparatus and a central cell with two palar nuclei and wall ingrowths on its micropylar lateral wall. The antipodal cells disappear. Embryo development is of the Onagrad type. The filament suspensor grows to a length of 785 μm and degenerats at tarpedo embryo stage. The basal cell produces wall ingrowths on the micropylar end wall and lateral wall. The cells of mature embryo contain many globular protein bodies, 2.5–7.5 μm in diameter, composed of high concentration of protein and phytin, insoluble polysaccharide and lipid. The cells, except procambium, also contain many small starch grains. Some secretory cavities scattered in the ground tissue have liquidlike granules composed of protein, ploysacchaide and lipid. Endosperm development follows the nuclear pattern. At the late heart embryo stage, the endosperm around the embryo and the upper suspensor and the peripheral endosperm of the basal region of the U-shaped embryo sac becomes cellular. The endosperm at micropylar and chalazal ends remains free nuclear phase until the late bended cotyledon stage. Wall ingrowths at both micropylar and chalazal end wall and lateral wall of the embryo sac become more massive during endosperm development. Wall ingrowths also occur on the outer walls of the outer layer endosperm cells at both ends and lateral region of the embryo sac. When the embryo matures, many layers of chalazal endosperm ceils including 2–4 layers of transfer cells, a few of micropylar endosperm cells and 1–5 layers of peripheral endosperm cells are present. The nutrients of the embryo and endosperm at different stages of development are also discussed. 相似文献

The early stages of endosperm formation and protein body initiationare described for hard red winter wheat using light and transmissionelectron microscopy. Two days after flowering (DAF) the endospermwas a thin layer of coenocytic cytoplasm lining the embryo sac.By 4 DAF the endosperm had cellularized and completely filledthe embryo sac. Enough differentiation had occurred by 6 DAFto distinguish cells destined to become the aleurone layer,sub-aleurone region and central endosperm. Protein bodies wereinitiated at about 67 DAF and were first found near theGolgi apparatus. Wheat was ready for combine harvest at 34 DAF.Enlargement of the small protein bodies near the Golgi apparatusoccurred by several mechanisms: (1) fusion with one or moreof the dense Golgi vesicles or fusion with other protein bodies,(2) fusion with small electron-lucent Golgi-derived vesicles,(3) pinocytosis of a portion of the adjacent cytoplasm intothe developing protein body and (4) fusion of large proteinbodies with one another at later stages of grain development.Of the four mechanisms described, the pinocytotic vesicles andfusion of protein bodies were the most frequent and consistentprocesses observed. Direct connections between rough endoplasmicreticulum (RER) and protein bodies were not observed. The resultssuggest a rôle for the Golgi apparatus in the initiationof protein bodies. Also, the lack of RER derived vesicles suggestsa soluble mode of secretion of storage proteins involved inthe enlargement of protein bodies.

Developing nucellar cells in Oenothera biennis L. present distinctpatterns of differentiation at the chalaza and around the embryosac. The cytoplasm of nucellar cells surrounding the tetradof megaspores displays cytolysomes, lipid bodies and membranesof smooth ER enveloping different cytoplasmic components. Concomitantto the differentiation of the embryo sac the nucellar cellsconstituting these parietal layers undergo cytoplasmicdegeneration with shrinkage and flattening. In addition to theregular nucellar cells the chalaza at this stage presents threeother types: One with pycnotic nuclei, paramural bodies andcytoplasm filled with polymorphic vacuoles containing membranes,granular or flocculent material and multivesicular bodies. Asecond cell type shows swollen perinuclear cisternae aroundtheir pycnotic nuclei and large cytoplasmic vacuoles accumulatingtannins. The third type of cells is characterized by large numbersof starch grains and advanced disorganization of cytoplasmicorganelles; these cells probably become reservoirs after death.

In developing seeds of Solanum nigrum L., wall ingrowths developedat the extreme micropylar and chalazal ends of the embryo sac.In the micropylar region, the wall ingrowths were initiatedat the three-celled endosperm stage starting at the base ofthe zygote then progressing for a short distance chalazalwards.They developed quickly with the most elaborate around the baseof the suspensor. The chalazal wall ingrowths developed alongthe surfaces of the chalazal cup, the antipodal cup and thehypostase. Those along the hypostase were initiated at the four-celled,those in the chalazal and antipodal cups at the 20-celled endospermstages. The most elaborate developed along the base of the antipodalcup; the most simple were along the base of the chalazal cup.Small electron-lucent invaginations of the plasmalemma whichlater became filled with fibrillar material, were the earliestindication of wall ingrowth formation. Removal of the wall ingrowthscommenced at the mid-globular stage of embryo development andwas completed by the mid-heart-shaped stage. In the micropylarregion, wall ingrowth removal was rapid, starting with the lossof the fibrillar component followed by the thinning of the cellwall. However, along the hypostase and antipodal cup, a heterogeneouslayer of varying electron densities and a thinner, more electrondense layer was laid down over the ingrowths. This was followedby the removal of the fibrillar component. The initiation, removaland location of the embryo sac wall ingrowths is discussed inconnection with understanding the nutritional relationshipsbetween maternal tissue, endosperm and embryo.Copyright 1995,1999 Academic Press Wall ingrowths, Solanum nigrum, transfer cells, zone of separation and secretion, hypostase 相似文献

Endosperm development in Solanum nigrum was ab initio cellular.During early seed development, a Zone of Separation and Secretion(ZSS) differentiated within the endosperm. There were threephases in the formation of the ZSS. Phase Istainabilityof the cell walls and middle lamella increased followed by numeroussmall plasmalemma invaginations (blebs) which became filledwith a fibrillar material. Phase IIthe plasmalemma withdrewfrom the cell wall as a fibrillar lipo-carbohydrate matrix accumulatedoutside the plasmalemma. The middle lamella was gradually removedfrom between the cells forming the central axis of the cone.Phase IIIthe lipo-carbohydrate matrix continued to accumulateoutside the plasmalemma and also within the developing intercellularspaces. Some axial cells were completely separated from theremaining ZSS cells and became embedded in the matrix. The formationof the ZSS did not entail the destruction of the endosperm cellsand cell divisions were frequent. The ZSS was initially cone-shaped,capping the globular embryo. As the embryo sac enlarged, theZSS continued to differentiate. This resulted in a narrow curvedcorridor through the peripheral region of the endosperm whichterminated above the vascular trace. The embryo grew throughthe centre of the ZSS and pushed aside the separated axial cells.The ZSS facilitated the growth of the embryo through the restof the endosperm.Copyright 1993, 1999 Academic Press Lipo-carbohydrate matrix, extracellular matrix, endosperm development, Solanum nigrum, Zone of Separation and Secretion 相似文献

The date endosperm consists of living cells with the same generalcellular structure throughout the seed. The major storage products,as shown by histochemical staining, are lipid, stored as numeroussmall lipid bodies which fill the cytoplasm, and protein, aslarge but variably-sized protein bodies. Nuclei are presentbut lack large amounts of heterochromatin. Plastids and mitochondriaare present but infrequently seen and have poorly developedinternal membranes. No endoplasmic reticulum or dictyosomesare present before or after hydration. The cell wall is thickexcept in areas of pit fields and consists of three layers whichdiffer in their staining behaviour: middle lamella, thickenedwall and inner wall. Both the endosperm and embryo of the imbibedseed undergo aerobic respiration, but the embryo respires ata more rapid rate than does the endosperm. A small area of theendosperm around the distal pole of the cotyledon shows histochemicallydetectable levels of succinic dehydrogenase.

Amaranthus hypochondriacus embryo sac development was investigatedbefore and after fertilization. During the early stages of development,the young embryo sac displays three antipodal cells at the chalazalpole that degenerate very early in the maturation process, beforethe synergids and egg cell are completely differentiated. Themature embryo sac is composed only of the female germ unit.The synergid cells organize a filiform apparatus accompaniedby the presence of mitochondria and dictyosomes with numerousvesicles. The involvement of the synergids in transport andsecretory functions related to pollen tube attraction and guidance,are discussed. The egg cell is located at the micropylar polenear the synergids and displays exposed plasma membranes atthe chalazal pole. The fertilized egg cell does not exhibitmarked changes after fertilization except for the closure ofthe cell wall. The central cell is the largest cell of thisvery long embryo sac. The fused nucleus is close to the eggapparatus before fertilization and displays a remarkable chalazalmigration after gamete delivery. The ultrastructure of the centralcell cytoplasm and the numerous wall ingrowths around this cellsuggest an important role in nutrient transportation. Aftergamete delivery, the embryo sac displays electron dense bodiesthat aggregate within the intercellular space between the synergids,egg cell and central cell. These bodies, that appear in theembryo sac of several plants, are probably involved in gametedelivery for double fertilization. The possibility of biparentalinheritance of mitochondria in this plant is also discussed.Copyright 1999 Annals of Botany Company Amaranthus hypochondriacus, grain amaranth, embryo sac, fertilization. 相似文献

As part of a study involving pod retention in soybean, Glycinemax (L.) Merr., we investigated changes occurring in the eggapparatus of non-abscised flowers from the time immediatelypreceding fertilization through early embryogeny. Prior to theentry of the pollen tube into the embryo sac, one of the synergidsbegins to degenerate as evidenced by increased electron densityand a loss of volume. This cell serves as the site of entryfor the pollen tube. The cytoplasm of the second, or persistentsynergid, remains unaltered until after fertilization. Bothsynergids contain, in addition to a filiform apparatus, a singleunidentified inclusion of flocculent material located in thechalazal portion of each cell. The zygote can be distinguishedfrom the egg by its consistently narrow wall; and it dividesto form a proembryo, a mass of cells not yet differentiatedinto embryo proper and suspensor. The basal cells of the proembryoare more vacuolate than the apical ones, characteristic of thebasal vacuolation of both egg and zygote. Cells of the proembryoare connected to one another via plasmodesmata, and with theexception of the basal-most cell, are isolated symplasticallyfrom the surrounding endosperm. Wall ingrowths frequently occurin certain cells of the proembryo, notably those cells in contactwith the degenerate synergid and embryo sac wall. At a laterstage of ontogeny, by which time the globular embryo properhas become distinct from the suspensor, the wall ingrowths areconcentrated in the suspensor.

Seg8 is one of eight barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutants whoseendosperm development is affected by the maternal plant genotype.This study was initiated to determine the nature and onset ofabnormal development to provide a basis for further studiesaimed at understanding the mechanism of genetic control. Seeddevelopment and synthesis and accumulation of reserve substanceswere compared between seg8 and its normal counterpart, cv. Klages.Light microscopic examination showed that the mutant phenotypeappeared as early as 4 d after anthesis (DAA), and seg8 graindry weight was significantly lower than cv. Klages by 8 DAA.Grain cell number was significantly lower in seg8 by 8 DAA,indicating an early termination of cell division. The mutanthad a lower starch concentration and higher sucrose concentration,also evident at 8 DAA. Rates of [14C]sucrose incorporation intostarch in excised half seeds were similar in both genotypesat 2 and 4 DAA, but at 8 and 12 DAA seg8 had a lower rate. Totalprotein concentration was not significantly different betweenthe two genotypes throughout endosperm development. These resultsindicate that the mutation affects cell division and starchaccumulation prior to 8 DAA. It is not known if the reductionin starch biosynthesis and accumulation results from a reducedcapacity for starch or a defect in starch biosynthesis.

Immature fruits of Aesculus yield powerful stimuli to growthand cell division. Therefore, the developing fruit of Aesculuswoerlitzensis Koehne has been investigated from pollinationto maturity. The fluid, or liquid endosperm, which containsthe growth-promoting substances is produced in a large vesiclewhich forms at the chalazal tip of the embryo sac. As the vesiclegrows, it encroaches upon the nucellus and, when the embryodevelops, one of its cotyledons penetrates into the vesicleof the embryo sac where it grows and absorbs the contents. Theembryo, which has only a vestigial suspensor, reaches the vesicleby growing along the neck of the long curved embryo sac. Thecotyledon which first penetrates the vesicle grows into a massivestructure; the other remains small. The tip of the cotyledonseems to function as an absorbing surface, for the endospermwith which it comes into contact disorganizes. Fertilizationand the presence of a viable embryo at the micropylar end ofthe embryo sac therefore sets in train a number of other events.These are the extensive development of the nucellus at the chalazalend of the embryo sac, the swelling of the vesicle and the formationof a free nuclear and some cellular endosperm, and the disorganizationof the nucellus as it is encroached upon by the vesiculate embryosac. Attention is directed to the organization of the nucellusin the vicinity of the embryo sac. Files or richly protoplasmicnucellar cells(hypostase) which converge upon the chalazal tipof the embryo sac suggest a principal route by which the vesiclemay be nourished. Special attention is drawn to the very differentsizes of cells, their nuclei and nucleoli, in the differentparts of the nucellus. The growth and development of the embryohas also been traced from the zygote to the mature seed. Thenutritive role of the veaiculate embryo sac, and the supplyof growthstimulating substances, through the function of a cotyledonas an absorbing organ, are now seen as important features ofthe development of the Aesulus embryo in the ovule. Many outstandingproblems still remain. The sequential events that follow fertilizationin the different interdependent regions (nucellus, embryo sac,cotyledon, &c.) are here described, but not casually explained. 相似文献

The structure of embryo sac, fertilization and development of embryo and endosperm in Vigina sesquipedalis (L.) Fruwirth were investigated. Pollization occures 7–10h before anthesis, and fertilization is completed 10 h after anthesis. After fertilization, wall ingrowths are formed at the micropylar and chalazal ends of the embryo sac. Embryo development conforms to the Onagrad type, and passes through 2 or more celled proembryo, long stick-shaped, globular, heart shaped, torpedo, young embryo, growing and enlarging embryo and mature embryo. Wall ingrowths are formed on the walls of basal cells and outer walls of the cells at basal region of suspenser. The suspensor remains as the seed reaches maturity. The starch grains accumulate in the cells of cotyledons by 9–16 days after anthesis, and proteins accumulate by 12–18 days after. The endosperm development follows the nuclear type. The endosperm ceils form at the micropylar end, and remain free nuclear phase at chalazal end. The outer cells are transfer cells. Those cells at the micropylar end form folded cells with wall ingrowths. At heartembryo stage, the endosperm begins to degenerate and disintegrates before the embryo matures. 相似文献

Development of the Almond Nut (Prunus dulcis (Mill.) D. A. Webb). Anatomy and Chemical Composition of Fruit Parts from Anthesis to Maturity 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The growth of the fruit of two varieties of almond (Prunus dulcis(Mill.) D. A. Webb) was studid from anthesis (week 0) to maturity(week 32). The dimensions, fresh weight, moisture content, anatomyand chemical composition of the pericarp, testa, embryo, endospermand nucellus are recorded diagrarnmatically, graphically andby micrographs for one variety. Of the two ovules present atflowering only one normally developed further. By 12 weeks afterflowering the whole fruit had reached full size. The space encloscdby the pericarp was filled by nuallus until weck 10, with subsequentenlargement of both endosperm and embryo. From week 16 to week20 the embryo increased to full size with a concumnt decreasein the size of the endosperm. Sixteen weeks after flowering,the embryo began to accumulate protein and lipid, little ofwhich originated from either the nucellus or endosperm. Theembryo contained no starch or reducing sugar but up to 3% sucrosein the early stags which dtcreascd as lipid and protein increased.Starch and sucrose levels were high in the testa at week 16but subsbquently dropped, starch more rapidly than sucrose.The role of the testa in transport of metabolites to the embryois discussed.

The early developmental sequences in the formation of the Zoneof Separation and Secretion in a hexaploid species of Solanumnigrum L. are described. Ultrastructural changes which occurredduring the development of the embryo/endosperm interface couldbe related to the different stages in the embryo's development.The first step was the completion of the cell wall around thechalazal end of the zygote; a thin wall was formed along theendosperm cell(s) abutting the zygote. From the mature zygotestage to the quadrant stage, minute plasmalemma invaginationsoccurred along the endosperm wall facing the zygote. These invaginationsenlarged, and from the mid-globular stage onwards became filledwith a fine fibrillar material; this material accumulated betweenthe endosperm cell wall and the plasmalemma before being releasedinto the developing periembryonic and intercellular spaces tobecome the extracellular matrix. Cell wall development in theendosperm cells abutting the embryo followed an unusual path.During the quadrant stage, whilst the outer embryo wall increasedin thickness due to vesicle fusion, the endosperm cell wallfacing the embryo showed a loosening of the wall fibrils aswell as partial separation of these same endosperm cells fromeach other. From the early-globular stage, the endosperm cellwalls opposite the embryo became electron-translucent, disappearinginto the extracellular matrix. Enzymic secretions by the embryomay account for the alteration in the abutting endosperm cellwalls. Enzymic activity may also explain the development ofa homogenous electron-opaque layer over the outer embryo wallas well as the differences in the width of the fibrillar layerwhich accumulated around the cotyledons as the embryo grew throughthe Zone of Separation and Secretion. The potential roles ofthe extracellular matrix are briefly discussed. Solanum nigrum L.; embryo/endosperm interface; Zone of Separation and Secretion; embryo development; cellular endosperm 相似文献

The structure of embryo sac before and after fertilization, embryo and endosperm development and transfer cell distribution in Phaseolus radiatus were investigated using light and transmission electron microscopy. The synergids with distinct filiform apparatus have a chalazal vacuole, numerous mitochondria and ribosomes. A cell wall exists only around the micropylar half of the synergids. The egg cell has a chalazally located nucleus, a large micropylar vacuole and several small vacuoles. Mitochondria and plasrids with starch grains are abundant. No cell wall is present at its chalazal end. There are no plasma membranes between the egg and central cell in several places. The zygote has a complete cell wall, abundant mitochondria and plastids containing starch grains. Both degenerated and persistent synergids migh.t serve as a nutrient supplement to proembryo. The wall ingrowths occur in the central cell, basal cell, inner integumentary cells, suspensor cells and endosperm cells. These transfer cells may contribute to embryo nutrition at different developmental stages of embryo. 相似文献
