Cortical cytoskeletal ring in prophase II leads to correction of abnormalities of the first meiotic division and to meiotic restitution of pollen mother cell nucleus

The deviation of prophase cytoskeletal ring formation was determined during meiotic division in 50% of pollen mother cells (PMCs) in maize haploid No 1498 (Zea mays). At prophase in both meiotic divisions the cytoskeletal ring is formed in cortical region of cytoplasm instead of perinuclear. Sometimes formation of both perinuclear and cortical rings is observed in the same cell. It has been shown that in multinucleate PMCs the cortical ring leads to the consolidation of chromosomes into common spindle and to meiotic restitution.

Synaptonemal complex formation in pollen mother cells of Tradescantia

Seven nuclei of Tradescantia sp. (2n=12) were prepared using Gillies' modification of the Counce-Meyer whole-mount spreading technique. These nuclei were examined for the type (homologous and nonhomologous), amount, and location of synaptonemal complex (SC) formation. Estimates of the total potential number of discrete initiations of SC formation ranged from 251–299 per nucleus. The average distance between sites of initiation ranged from 7.3 to 11.2 m in the different nuclei. Two groups of Tradescantia were used. Of the T. ohiensis var. paludosa plants, the one instance of irregularity in synapsis was associated with a pairing partner switchpoint. In the other plants derived from Mericle's Clone 02, all nuclei, even those in early zygotene, had several examples of foldback synapsis. The significance of the location of SC formation, and the occurrence of foldback synapsis is considered and a model of SC formation is proposed. In this model, a recognition of homology step is not considered necessary for SC formation; homologous synapsis is usually accomplished by spatial and temporal coordination of zygotene DNA synthesis.     

Premeiotic and early meiotic stages in the pollen mother cells of Eremurus and in human embryonic oocytes

Summary The premeiotic and meiotic stages are described in the pollen mother cells of the liliaceous plant Eremurus. In human oocytes from embryonic ovaries, the premeiotic and early meiotic stages up to dictyotene have been identified on morphological grounds. In Eremurus, in which each stage can be independently verified by the sequence of buds situated in a spiral, there is no indication of somatic pairing of homologous chromosomes, nor is there any sign of a premeiotic contraction of the chromosomes. The interphase following this mitosis is, in turn, succeeded by leptotene in which the DNA synthesis occurs, as determined by using autoradiography. This stage is followed by a distance pairing stage in which the homologous chromosomes lie parallel to each other at a distance. In typical zygotene, segments of chromosomes are paired intimately, others are unpaired, and the points at which pairing begins and ends are clearly visible. Each bivalent shows several pairing blocks. Pairing is completed at pachytene; diplotene which is characterized by the separation of the chromosomes follows. In middiplotene the chromosomes collect together in the so-called second contraction stage.The same meiotic prophase stages that occur in Eremurus, including the distance pairing stage, are found in the embryonic human oocytes. In the last premeiotic interphase, the chromosomes appear as condensed prochromosomes which unravel directly to form the leptotene chromosomes. In the oocytes, too, DNA synthesis seems to take place in leptotene.This is publication No. 1947 from the Genetics Laboratory, University of Wisconsin.

Dynamics of inorganic ions in microspore and pollen grain during development of the tobacco male gametophyte

We studied the dynamics of mobile potassium, chloride, and nitrate ions during development of the microspore and differentiation of the pollen grain inNicotiana tabacum L. by measuring their concentration in aqueous extracts from cells destroyed by freezing-thawing using ion-selective electrodes. Stage-specific changes in the ion content and intracellular concentration in the male gametophyte were found. A relationship of the dynamics of ions to growth processes and changes in metabolic activity during gametophytogenesis has been discussed. The changes in the potassium and chloride ion concentrations have been interpreted as regulatory changes controlling protein synthesis in the pollen grain vegetative cell. Deceased.

Inorganic ion dynamics in the microspore and pollen grain of tobacco during the development of the male gametophyte

We studied the dynamics of mobile potassium, chloride, and nitrate ions during development of the micro-spore and differentiation of the pollen grain in Nicotiana tabacum L. by measuring their concentration in aqueous extracts from cells destroyed by freezing-thawing using ion-selective electrodes. Stage-specific changes in the ion content and intracellular concentration in the male gametophyte were found. A relationship of the dynamics of ions to growth processes and changes in metabolic activity during gametophytogenesis has been discussed. The changes in the potassium and chloride ion concentrations have been interpreted as regulatory changes controlling protein synthesis in the pollen grain vegetative cell.
