Phloem regeneration in Coleus internodes, earlier wounded so that one or more phloem bundles were severed, is estimated quantitatively by microscopic examination of permanent slides prepared in the following way: The wounded internode is removed from the plant after a given regeneration period, is fixed in Craf III for 24 hr and is transferred to 85% lactic acid for 12-24 hr. While still in lactic acid, a “strip”, which is composed of the phloem and all tissues peripheral to it in the internode, is peeled from the internode, leaving only the xylem-pith cylinder. The strip is stained for 6-12 hr in 0.1% aniline blue in 85% lactic acid, then is transferred to 60% alcohol containing 0.5% HCI. While in the latter solution, the epidermis, scar tissue, and most of the cortical tissue is carefully dissected from the strip while it is observed in a dissecting microscope. The strip is restained for an hour or more and is passed through two 5-10 min changes each of acidified 60% alcohol, absolute alcohol, and xylene, and is then mounted on a glass slide in damar-xylene. Counts of regenerated, interfascicular phloem strands, governed by a counting convention, which were shown to bear a fairly constant relationship to the actual number of regenerated sieve tube members, are made while examining under low and high power magnifications. This method is presently being used to study the physiology of phloem differentiation and its regulation in Coleus. 相似文献

Summary A novel method of lactic acid fermentation byLactobacillus casei immobilized in Ca—alginate gels is described, in which an ion—exchange resin packed column is attached to a fermentor for
separation of lactic acid from fermentative broth. The technique successfully alleviated the restriction imposed by lactic
acid on bacterial growth and product formation. As compared to the conventional batch fermentation, the new fermentation technique
enhanced the lactic acid productivity and sugar conversion rate from 0.328g/L·h and 88. 2% to 0.482g/L·h and 98.6%, respectively. 相似文献

The methods described are modifications of various technics for the study of spiral structure in chromosomes. They enable permanent preparations to be made with better fixation and allow the use of stains which give clear and more critical definition. The first method described involves the use of ammonium, hydroxide (880 vols.) fumes for the treatment of pollen mother cells before fixation. Anthers of Tradescantia are smeared on a slide and wet in a 3% cane sugar solution. The preparation is then immediately placed in a dish of fixative where it remains for two hours. The slide can then be washed, bleached and stained with gentian violet or hematoxylin. It was found that fumes of nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and glacial acetic acid gave similar results. For the second method, boiling water is used for pre-treatment. A smear is made on a slide and immersed in boiling water for five to ten seconds. The smear is then fixed and treated in the usual manner. 相似文献

Epidermal and mesophyll protoplasts, prepared from leaf blades of 6-day-old light-grown Sorghum bicolor seedlings were separated by differential sedimentation and assayed for a number of enzymes. The epidermal protoplasts contained higher levels of NADPH-cytochrome c reductase (EC 1.6.2.4), triose phosphate isomerase (EC 5.3.1.1), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EC 4.1.1.31), and a UDP-glucose:cyanohydrin β-glucosyl transferase (EC 2.4.1.85), but lower levels of NADP+ triosephosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.13) than did mesophyll protoplasts. When protoplast preparations were lysed and applied to linear sucrose density gradients, triosephosphate isomerase was found to be present in epidermal plastids. A significant fraction (41%) of the glucosyl transferase activity was also associated with the epidermal plastids. 相似文献

Young, vigorous root tips are fixed in aceto-alcohol (1 part glacial acetic acid, 2 parts absolute alcohol) and are left in the fixative from 24 to 48 hours. If it is desired to store the material, the root tips can be transferred to 80% alcohol and be kept indefinitely. In preparing the smears, the root tips are placed on a slide and are sliced as thinly as possible with a sharp razor blade. Then the slices are smeared on the slide and immediately flooded with aceto-carmin, followed by a cover glass. Using absorbent paper and exerting considerable pressure, the excess aceto-carmin can be removed and the material flattened at the same time. Finally the slide is warmed gently to a point slightly below boiling. By sealing with gum mastic and paraffin, such preparations can be kept from 5 to 10 days. 相似文献

中国凤仙花科植物叶表皮特征及其分类学意义 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
利用光学显微镜观察凤仙花科106份样本材料、36种代表植物的叶表皮微形态特征。结果表明:该科植物叶表皮微形态特征种内稳定,对于种间及属间关系的界定具有重要的分类学价值。上表皮细胞的形状及垂周壁的式样种间差异明显,各分类群间有明显的界限,是种间界定的重要依据,因此上表皮微形态特征具有重要的的分类学价值,基于上表皮的微形态特征将研究的36种代表植物划分为5个类型。下表皮的微形态特征虽更为多样,种间差异显著,可用于种间界定,但对于属下划分难以提供有价值的性状。该科植物叶表皮微形态特征与宏观形态特征的相关性较弱,与地理分布格局的相关性较强,关系更为密切。同一地理分布区域内的种类宏观形态特征虽然差别明显,但叶表皮微形态特征却表现出较强的一致性,这似乎也反映了叶表皮微形态这一性状受环境饰变的影响比较明显。综上所述,叶表皮微形态特征可为凤仙花科的系统发育,尤其是凤仙花属种间界定提供有价值的分类学佐证 相似文献

A simple differential staining procedure for demonstrating infection within the leaf tissue by Pseudomonas tomato, Ps. lachrymans and Xanthomonas vesicatoria has been developed. It is based on (1) clearing of plant tissue with a mixture of glycerol, lactic acid, phenol and water; (2) treating the leaf tissue with boiling KOH; and (3) staining with aniline blue-chloralhydrate. When observed under a light microscope, the bacteria appear dark blue, whereas the leaf tissue appears transparent and colourless. 相似文献

Nanoparticles of approximately 10nm in diameter made with chitosan or lactic acid-grafted chitosan were developed for high drug loading and prolonged drug release. A drug encapsulation efficiency of 92% and a release rate of 28% from chitosan nanoparticles over a 4-week period were demonstrated with bovine serum protein. To further increase drug encapsulation, prolong drug release, and increase chitosan solubility in solution of neutral pH, chitosan was modified with lactic acid by grafting D,L-lactic acid onto amino groups in chitosan without using a catalyst. The lactic acid-grafted chitosan nanoparticles demonstrated a drug encapsulation efficiency of 96% and a protein release rate of 15% over 4 weeks. With increased protein concentration, the drug encapsulation efficiency decreased and drug release rate increased. Unlike chitosan, which is generally soluble only in acid solution, the chitosan modified with lactic acid can be prepared from solutions of neutral pH, offering an additional advantage of allowing proteins or drugs to be uniformly incorporated in the matrix structure with minimal or no denaturization. 相似文献

A solution of plastic consisting of toluene, 720 ml; methanol, 180 ml; ethyl cellulose (Ethocel, standard 7 CPS), 250 gm; and Dow resin 276 V-2, 75 gm is applied to a leaf surface which has been dampened with toluene. The plastic is spread to a thin film with the edge of a card and allowed to dry. After drying, the plastic may be peeled from the leaf surface and either stored dry in a small envelope or mounted permanently on a microscope slide. Permanent mounts are prepared by placing a small section of the peel from the upper and lower surfaces of the leaf on a microscope slide and covering with a No. 1 cover glass. A small spot of balsam on each corner of the cover glass secures the glass in position. This air mount has proved to be superior to water, glycerol or balsam mounts. Fresh leaves are washed with a mild detergent before application of the plastic. Herbarium specimens are soaked in water overnight to restore the leaf to a semiturgid condition. Five species of different plant families have been illustrated to show the diagnostic features of the surface of the cuticle. An isolated layer of epidermal cells obtained by chemical maceration permitted cell and imprint comparison. The remarkable amount of detail shown by the prints is an aid for phylogenetic studies and may make the recognition of fossil cuticles possible. 相似文献

Background and Aims
Epidermal phenolic compounds (mainly flavonoids) constitute a vital screen that protects the leaf from damage by natural ultraviolet (UV) radiation. The effectiveness of epidermal UV-screening depends on leaf anatomy, the content of UV-screening compounds and their spatial uniformity over the leaf area. To investigate in vivo the spatial pattern of the epidermal UV-screen during leaf development, a fluorescence imaging method was developed to map the epidermal UV-absorbance at a microscopic scale. This study was done on oak (Quercus petraea) leaves that were used as a model of woody dicotyledonous leaves.Methods
The leaf development of 2-year-old trees, grown outdoors, was monitored, at a macroscopic scale, by in vivo measurements of chlorophyll content per unit area and epidermal UV-absorbance using two optical leaf-clip meters. The distribution of pigments within leaves was assessed in vivo spectroscopically. The microscopic images of UV-induced fluorescence and UV-absorbance acquired in vivo during leaf development were interpreted from spectral characteristics of leaves.Key Results
At a macroscopic scale, epidermal UV-absorbance was high on the upper leaf side during leaf development, while it increased on the lower leaf side during leaf expansion and reached the adaxial value at maturity. At a microscopic scale, in immature leaves, for both leaf sides, the spatial distribution of epidermal UV-absorbance was heterogeneous, with a pattern depending on the flavonoid content of vacuoles in developing epidermal cells. At maturity, epidermal UV-absorbance was uniform.Conclusions
The spatial pattern of epidermal UV-screen over the area of oak leaves is related to leaf anatomy during development. In vivo spectroscopy and fluorescence imaging of the leaf surface showed the distribution of pigments within the leaf and hence can provide a tool to monitor optically the leaf development in nature.Key words: Blue-green fluorescence, chlorophyll fluorescence, epidermis, flavonoids, leaf development, microscopic imaging, polyphenols, Quercus petraea 相似文献16.
Kenaf responded to salt stress in a manner that was typical of moderately salt tolerant non-halophytes. Increase in leaf area was more sensitive to salinity than either leaf emergence rate or dry matter accumulation. Dry weight was reduced only above a threshold of approximately 37 mM NaCl while leaf area was already significantly reduced at this salt concentration. Measurement of epidermal cell cross sectional area and epidermal cell numbers showed that the salt induced reduction in leaf area was due primarily to smaller epidermal cell size. Epidermal cell numbers were also significantly reduced by salinity. Stomatal density increased with increasing salt stress and there was no effect on leaf thickness. 相似文献

The reaction of plants to environmental factors often varies with developmental stage. It was hypothesized, that also the cuticle, the outer surface layer of plants is modified during ontogenesis. Apple plantlets, cv. Golden Delicious, were grown under controlled conditions avoiding biotic and abiotic stress factors. The cuticular wax surface of adaxial apple leaves was analyzed for its chemical composition as well as for its micromorphology and hydrophobicity just after unfolding of leaves ending in the seventh leaf insertion. The outer surface of apple leaves was formed by a thin amorphous layer of epicuticular waxes. Epidermal cells of young leaves exhibited a distinctive curvature of the periclinal cell walls resulting in an undulated surface of the cuticle including pronounced lamellae, with the highest density at the centre of cells. As epidermal cells expanded during ontogenesis, the upper surface showed only minor surface sculpturing and a decrease in lamellae. With increasing leaf age the hydrophobicity of adaxial leaf side decreased significantly indicated by a decrease in contact angle. Extracted from plants, the amount of apolar cuticular wax per area unit ranged from only 0.9 microgcm(-2) for the oldest studied leaf to 1.5 microgcm(-2) for the youngest studied leaf. Differences in the total amount of cuticular waxes per leaf were not significant for older leaves. For young leaves, triterpenes (ursolic acid and oleanolic acid), esters and alcohols were the main wax components. During ontogenesis, the proportion of triterpenes in total mass of apolar waxes decreased from 32% (leaf 1) to 13% (leaf 7); absolute amounts decreased by more than 50%. The proportion of wax alcohols and esters, and alkanes to a lesser degree, increased with leaf age, whereas the proportion of acids decreased. The epicuticular wax layer also contained alpha-tocopherol described for the first time to be present also in the epicuticular wax. The modifications in the chemical composition of cuticular waxes are discussed in relation to the varying physical characteristics of the cuticle during ontogenesis of apple leaves. 相似文献

Epidermal growth factor is present in human urine in large amounts, but its biological significance is not known. The results of this study indicate that the predominant 6000-dalton form of epidermal growth factor in human urine is divided by hydrophobic interaction chromatography into four fractions; only 3% of the total 6000-dalton epidermal growth factor coeluted with the biosynthetic epidermal growth factor and the rest was separated into three different peaks. These different forms may lack one or two amino or carboxy terminal amino acids from the 53 amino acids present in epidermal growth factor, or they may be products of deamidation or oxidation of amino acid(s). Further knowledge of these micromodifications of epidermal growth factor secreted in urine may reveal the origin and function of epidermal growth factor in humans. 相似文献
