Citrus leaves accumulate large amounts of calcium that must be compartmented effectively to prevent stomatal closure by extracellular Ca2+ and interference with Ca(2+)-based cell signaling pathways. Using x-ray microanalysis, the distribution of calcium between vacuoles in different cell types of leaves of rough lemon (Citrus jambhiri Lush.) was investigated. Calcium was accumulated principally in palisade, spongy mesophyll, and crystal-containing idioblast cells. It was low in epidermal and bundle sheath cells. Potassium showed the reverse distribution. Rubidium and strontium were used as tracers to examine the pathways by which potassium and calcium reached these cells. Comparisons of strontium and calcium distribution indicated that strontium is a good tracer for calcium, but rubidium did not mirror the potassium distribution pattern. The amount of strontium accumulated was highest in palisade cells, lowest in bundle sheath and epidermal cells, and intermediate in the spongy mesophyll. Accumulation of strontium in palisade and spongy mesophyll was accompanied by loss of potassium from these cells and its accumulation in the bundle sheath. Strontium moved apoplastically from the xylem to all cell types, and manipulation of water loss from the adaxial leaf surface suggested that diffusion is responsible for strontium movement to this side of the leaf. The results highlight the importance of palisade and spongy mesophyll as repositories for calcium and suggest that calcium distribution between different cell types is the result of differential rates of uptake. This tracer technique can provide important information about the ion uptake and accumulation properties of cells in intact leaves.  相似文献

Paraveinal mesophyll (PVM) in Leguminosae, subfamily Mimosoideae, was first reported in 1894 but never described in detail before now. We cleared, and sectioned in resin, leaflets of Calliandra tweedii and C. emarginata (Tribe Ingeae). Lamina anatomy in both species is very similar: one palisade layer, two to three spongy layers, and the horizontal veinal network with its interconnected PVM in between. PVM is a unistratose cellular lacework extending between veins and attached medianly along each flank of all veins. PVM cells have a normal complement of typical chloroplasts similar to other mesophyll cells. Most veins are ensheathed by fibers except for an extended lateral slit along each flank where the PVM is attached; a parenchymatous bundle sheath is therefore lacking. All vein endings lack phloem, although the tracheary elements of some vein endings are flanked by one or two long, slender, seemingly undifferentiated cells. Occasional small gaps occur between the PVM cell wall and adjacent tracheary elements, which expose xylem directly to mesophyll intercellular space. PVM anatomy of Calliandra, including its physical relationship to the various vein orders, differs in some important respects from PVM of the few other leguminous and nonleguminous species studied anatomically in any detail.  相似文献

Summary Microscopy techniques were used to identify the pathway of transport of soybean leaf vegetative storage proteins (VSP/ and VSP94) to the vacuoles of a specialized cell type, the paraveinal mesophyll (PVM), where they accumulate. PVM cells are enriched in endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi bodies relative to surrounding mesophyll cells. The margins of medial and trans Golgi cisternae had attached or closely associated noncoated vesicles with densely staining membranes and lumenal contents of the same appearance as material that accumulated in the vacuole. These vesicles appeared to be transported preferentially to the tonoplast, where fusion with the membrane released the granular contents into the vacuole. Cytochemical staining with phosphotungstic acid and silver methenamine supported this interpretation as both the Golgi vesicles and the tonoplast stained intensely with these reagents, unlike the tonoplast of mesophyll cells which do not accumulate VSP. Immunocytochemical localization for VSP/ labeled the Golgi bodies and associated vesicles, and vacuolar material in PVM cells, but not in mesophyll. Similar labeling was seen in PVM of another legume species previously found to accumulate antigenically similar VSPs. Immunolocalization for VSP94, a lipoxygenase, labeled the PVM cytosol and material in the PVM vacuole, but not the Golgi or vesicles. The results of this study demonstrate that the Golgi pathway is utilized for transport of VSP/ in the PVM, which follows the mechanism of deposition demonstrated for certain seed storage proteins. VSP94 appeared to follow a separate path for accumulation in PVM vacuoles.Abbreviations LOX lipoxygenase - PVM paraveinal mesophyll - RER rough endoplasmic reticulum - TEM transmission electron  相似文献

Structural Adaptation of the Leaf Mesophyll to Shading   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
Structural characteristics of the mesophyll were studied in five boreal grass species experiencing a wide range of light and water supply conditions. Quantitative indices of the palisade and spongy mesophyll tissues (cell and chloroplast sizes, the number of chloroplasts per cell, the total cell and chloroplast surface area per unit leaf surface area) were determined in leaves of each of the species. The cell surface area and the cell volume in spongy mesophyll were determined with a novel method based on stereological analysis of cell projections. An important role of spongy parenchyma in the photosynthetic apparatus was demonstrated. In leaves of the species studied, the spongy parenchyma constituted about 50% of the total volume and 40% of the total surface area of mesophyll cells. The proportion of the palisade to spongy mesophyll tissues varied with plant species and growth conditions. In a xerophyte Genista tinctoria, the total cell volume, cell abundance, and the total surface area of cells and chloroplasts were 30–40% larger in the palisade than in the spongy mesophyll. In contrast, in a shade-loving species Veronica chamaedris, the spongy mesophyll was 1.5–2 times more developed than the palisade mesophyll. In mesophyte species grown under high light conditions, the cell abundance and the total cell surface area were 10–20% greater in the palisade mesophyll than in the spongy parenchyma. In shaded habitats, these indices were similar in the palisade and spongy mesophyll or were 10–20% lower in the palisade mesophyll. In mesophytes, CO2 conductance of the spongy mesophyll accounted for about 50% of the total mesophyll conductance, as calculated from the structural characteristics, with the mesophyll CO2 conductance increasing with leaf shading.  相似文献

Effects of ozone on the leaf anatomy and ultrastructure of fivebirch (Betula pendula Roth.) clones were studied during onegrowing season in open-field conditions. Cumulative ozone exposurewas 1·5 times higher than ambient. Ozone exposure decreasedtotal leaf thickness in one, ozone sensitive, clone. The effecton palisade spongy mesophyll thickness was clone-specific, whilethe amount of palisade intercellular space was reduced in allclones. A second effect was a change in the relative amountsof adaxial and abaxial epidermis. In palisade and spongy parenchymacells of all clones, ozone increased the number of irregularand spherical shaped chloroplasts, the electron density of chloroplaststroma, swelling and curling of thylakoids, translucency ofthe mitochondrial matrix and also the amount of cytoplasmiclipids. In the sensitive clone shorter chloroplasts and reducedamount of starch were observed in ozone-exposed plants, whilst,in the tolerant clone, the size of chloroplasts and the amountof starch were unaffected. Ozone effects on number, size andelectron density of plastoglobuli and vacuolar tannin were clone-dependent.At the ultrastructural level, the normal leaf ageing processprogressed at different rates in the birch clones. Ozone acceleratedsenescence-related structural changes, in accordance with earlierobservations of deciduous species.Copyright 1995, 1999 AcademicPress Betula pendula Roth., birch, clones, ageing, ozone, leaf anatomy, ultrastructure  相似文献

Gossia bidwillii (Myrtaceae) is a manganese (Mn)-hyperaccumulating tree native to subtropical eastern Australia. It typically contains foliar Mn levels in excess of 1% dry weight. However, in G. bidwillii and other Mn-hyperaccumulating species, the cellular and subcellular localization of Mn has not been measured. Quantitative in vivo cryo-scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX) was used to localize Mn and other elements in tissue collected from mature trees growing in a natural population. Cryo-SEM showed that the leaf mesophyll is differentiated as a double-layer palisade mesophyll above spongy mesophyll. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the palisade and epidermal cells are highly vacuolated. EDAX data were used to estimate in situ vacuolar Mn concentrations of all cell types in fresh cryo-fixed leaf tissues. The highest average vacuolar Mn concentration of over 500 mM was found in the upper-layer palisade mesophyll, while the lowest concentration of around 100 mM was found in the spongy mesophyll. Qualitative in vivo cryo-SEM/EDAX was employed to further investigate the spatial distribution of Mn in fresh leaf tissues and young bark tissue, which was also found to have a high Mn concentration. It is concluded that Mn distribution in G. bidwillii is quantitatively different to metal distribution in other hyperaccumulating species where the highest localized concentrations of these elements occur in non-photosynthmetic tissues such as epidermal cells and associated dermal structures including trichomes and leaf hairs.  相似文献

Leaf tensile properties were compared between the mesic deciduous tree Prunus serrulata (var. "Kwanzan") and the xeric and sclerophyllous chaparral evergreen shrub Heteromeles arbutifolia (M. Roem). All values for biomechanical parameters for H. arbutifolia were significantly greater than those of P. serrulata. The fracture planes also differed between the two species with P. serrulata fracturing along the secondary veins, while H. arbutifolia most often fractured across the leaf irrespective of the vein or mesophyll position, thus yielding qualitative differences in the stress-strain curves of the two species. Anatomically, P. serrulata exhibits features typical for a deciduous mesophytic leaf such as a thin cuticle, a single layer of palisade mesophyll, isodiametric spongy mesophyll, and extensive reticulation of the laminar veins. Heteromeles arbutifolia leaves, however, are typically two- to three-fold thicker with a 35% higher dry mass/fresh mass ratio. The vascular tissue is restricted to the interface of the palisade and spongy mesophyll near the center of the leaf. Both epidermal layers have a thick cuticle. The palisade mesophyll is tightly packed and two to three layers thick. The spongy mesophyll cells are ameboid in shape and tightly interlinked both to other spongy cells as well as to the overlying palisade layer. We conclude that the qualitative and quantitative biomechanical differences between the leaves of these two species are likely due to a complex interaction of internal architectural arrangement and the physical/chemical differences in the properties of their respective cell walls. These studies illustrate the importance that morphological and anatomical correlates play with mechanical behavior in plant material and ultimately reflect adaptations present in the leaves of chaparral shrubs that are conducive to surviving in arid environments.  相似文献

Starch formation was studied by means of plant anatomy in segments of maize and pea leaves, deprived of starch, floating overnight in the dark (1) on solutions of various saccharides, (2) on sucrose solutions containing auxin-type growth regulators and (3) on suorose solutions with antibiotios (proteosynthesis inhibitors). A comparison was made of mesophyll tissues of the two species used, of spongy and palisade parenchyma in pea leaves and-especially-of mesophyll and vascular bundle sheath in the leaves of maize. Although the effects of the given treatments were striking, the response of the particular tissues was considerably uniform. If the given sugar appeared as utilizable for starch formation, it was effective equally in all tissues under study. It was not possible to distinguishin situ the different ways of staroh synthesis by means of the application of growth substanoes. No striking differences in the effect of antibiotics upon staroh formation were seen in-normally-starch containing and starch lacking tissues.  相似文献

The lamina dry mass: area ratio (LMA - Leaf Mass per Area) is a quite variable trait. Leaf dry mass consists of symplast mass (a set of all leaf protoplasts) and apoplast mass (a set of all cell walls in a leaf). The ratio between symplast and apoplast masses is positively related to any functional trait of leaf calculated per unit of dry mass. The value of this ratio is defined by cells size and their number per unit of leaf area, number of mesophyll cells layers and their differentiation between palisade and spongy ones, and also by density of cells packing. The LMA value is defined by leaf thickness and density. The extent and direction of variability in both leaf traits define the extent and direction of variability in LMA. Negative correlation between leaf thickness and density reduces the level of LMA variability. As a consequence of this correlation the following pattern emerges: the thinner a leaf, the denser it is. Changes in the traits that define the LMA value take place both within a species under the influence of environmental factors and between species that differ in leaf structure and functions. Light is the most powerful environmental factor that influences the LMA, increase in illumination leading to increase in LMA. This effect occurs during leaf growth at the expense of structural changes associated with the reduction of symplast/apoplast mass ratio. Under conditions of intense illumination, LMA may increase due to accumulation of starch. With regard to the majority of leaf functions, the mass of starch may be ascribed to apoplast. Starch accumulation in leaves is observed also under conditions of elevated CO2 concentration in the air. Under high illumination, however, LMA increases also due to increased apoplast contribution to leaf dry mass. Scarce mineral nutrition leads to LMA increase due to lowering of growth zones demands for phothosyntates and, therefore, to increase in starch content of leaves. High level of mineral nutrition during leaf growth period leads to LMA increase at the expense of mesophyll thickening where components of photosynthesis system are located. When additional environmental factors are involved, starch accumulation may be partly responsible for increase in LMA. LMA increase at the expense of starch accumulation, unlike that at the expense of mesophyll thickening, is accompanied by increased leaf density. Under conditions of water deficiency LMA increases, which in mature leaf may be caused by starch accumulation. LMA increase during leaf growth period under conditions of water deficiency is associated with decrease in the symplast/apoplast mass ratio.  相似文献

Light and chlorophyll gradients within Cucurbita cotyledons   总被引:5,自引:4,他引:1  
Abstract. Measurement of light within 10–14-d-old green and etiolated Cucurbita pepo cotyledons were made with fibre-optic microprobes to assess the influence of chlorophyll distribution and anatomical variations in mesophyll cell type (spongy versus palisade) on internal light pattern. More than 50% of the pigment in green cotyledons occurred in the upper (adaxial) 300 μm and this gradient strongly influenced the internal propagation of 680 nm light. When the upper (adaxial) surface was irradiated with 680 nm light, almost complete absorption occurred within the first 400 μm (palisade) of approximately 1200-μm-thick cotyledons. In contrast, when lower (abaxial) surfaces were irradiated with 680 nm light, penetration extended throughout the spongy mesophyll to about the 700 μm depth. Measurements of collimaled and scattered light gradients at 550, 680 and 750 nm indicated that collimaled light was rapidly scattered by mesophyll cells. In cotyledons irradiated on the upper surface, spongy mesophyll cells received only scattered light. Furthermore, comparisons of scattered light gradients obtained from cotyledons irradiated on upper and lower surfaces suggested that spongy mesophyll cells scatter light more effectively than palisade cells, probably due to the greater proportion of intercellular air spaces in spongy mesophyll tissue. These data also indicate that both the spectral quality and quantity of light incident on palisade versus spongy mesophyll cells differs, perhaps contributing to developmental and physiological differences between these two mesophyll cell types.  相似文献

Summary Sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) leaf has a layer of cells extended laterally between the palisade parenchyma and spongy mesophyll that develop numerous small crystals (crystal sand) within their vacuoles. Solubility studies and histochemical staining indicate the crystals are calcium oxalate. The crystals are deposited within the vacuoles early during leaf development, and at maturity the cells are roughly spherical in shape and 2 to 3 times larger than other mesophyll cells. Crystal deposition is preceeded by formation of membrane vesicles within the vacuole. The membranes are synthesizedde novo in the vacuole and have a typical trilaminate structure as viewed with the TEM. The membranes are formed within paracrystalline aggregates of tubular particles (6–8nm outer diameter) as membrane sheets, but are later organized into chambers or vesicles. Calcium oxalate is then precipitated within the membrane chambers. The tubular particles involved in membrane synthesis are usually present in the vacuoles of mature crystal cells, but in very small amounts.  相似文献

Leaves of eight species of Leguminosae-Papilionoideae were examined for the presence of a highly specialized cell layer called the paraveinal mesophyli (PVM). Three species, Glycine max (L.) Merr, Psophocarpus tetragonolobus D.C. and Vigna radiata L., contained PVM; five (Medicago sativa L., Phaseolus vulgaris L., Pisum sativum L., Vicia faba L., Vigna unguiculata L.) did not. The PVM of G. max and P. tetragonolobus was anatomically identical and consisted of large, interconnected, multiarmed cells forming a network, one cell thick, spanning the region between vascular bundles and abutting the bundle sheath at the level of the phloem. The PVM of V. radiata differed in that elaborate extensions of individual bundle-sheath cells comprised the entire intervascular network. The PVM cells of all three species were large, contained a dense, thin peripheral layer of cytoplasm, and a large central vacuole. The cytoplasm contained few small chloroplasts and few microbodies, but was enriched in rough endoplasmic reticulum. Plasmodesmata were common in crosswalls between adjacent PVM cells and between PVM cells and other cell types abutting them. Vacuolar material was present in all three species, but was variable in appearance. That of G. max was present in large amounts, semifibrillar and finely dispersed. That of P. tetragonolobus was also present in large amounts but primarily as large aggregates, although some fibrillar material was also present. Vigna radiata had small amounts of vacuolar material evenly distributed between small aggregates and dispersed fibrils. Removal of flowers or young pods resulted in further increase of the vacuolar material in G. max PVM and increase of the fibrillar material in P. tetragonolobus, but had no appreciable affect on the vacuolar material in V. radiata. Histochemical staining indicated the vacuolar material in G. max and P. tetragonolobus was proteinaceous.Abbreviations PTA phosphotungstic acid - PVM paraveinal mesophyll Contribution No. 3215 from the Central Research and Development Department, E.I. du Pont de Nemours & Co  相似文献

The size, shape, and number of chloroplasts in the palisade and spongy parenchyma layers of Haberlea rhodopensis leaves changed significantly during desiccation and following rehydration. The chloroplasts became smaller and more rounded during desiccation, and aggregated in the middle of the cell. The size and number of chloroplasts in the palisade parenchyma cells were higher than in spongy parenchyma. The good correlation observed between the size or number of chloroplasts and the cross-sectional area of mesophyll cells, the cross-sectional width of the leaf and its water content suggested that the palisade cells were more responsive to water availability than the spongy cells. Changes in chloroplast number during desiccation and rehydration process are characteristic features for desiccation-tolerant plants (especially in homoiochlorophyllous strategy).  相似文献

Leaves from 12 legume species representing two subtribes were examined by various techniques for the presence of vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) similar to the 27, 29, and 94 kD VSPs of soybean. Polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) of leaf protein followed by western immunoblotting using antibody that recognizes soybean VSP94, a lipoxygenase, demonstrated that this protein is present in six of the nine species tested. Blotting with antibody to soybean VSP27/29, which are glycoproteins, gave labelling in seven species and glycoprotein affino-blots showed that glycosylated proteins ranging around 27 to 29 kD were present in all nine species examined. Immunocytochemical localization studies of eight species demonstrated that proteins antigenically similar to VSP94 and VSP27/29 are specifically accumulated in the vacuole of paraveinal mesophyll (PVM) cells. They were not detectable at significant levels in other mesophyll cells using this technique. Comparisons of protein compositions of isolated PVM and mesophyll protoplasts from seven species further confirmed the specialized nature of the PVM. VSP94 and proteins ranging from 25 to 35 kD molecular mass were the major proteins of PVM of all but one species while Rubisco was quite low in amount compared to mesophyll protoplasts. The results show that VSP synthesis and accumulation is a general feature of legume leaves containing a PVM layer and indicate that the PVM plays a specialized role in nitrogen metabolism and partitioning in these species.  相似文献

Plant manganese (Mn) hyperaccumulation provides unusual insight into homeostasis of this essential micronutrient, in particular its excessive storage in shoot tissues. The compartmentation of hyperaccumulated foliar Mn appears exceptional among metal hyperaccumulators, since it occurs via specific microdistribution patterns. Here, three associated Mn hyperaccumulators, Virotia neurophylla, Maytenus fournieri, and Garcinia amplexicaulis exhibiting distinctly different Mn detoxification strategies were examined. Non-invasive sample preparation in conjunction with cryo scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to obtain in vivo quantitative microprobe X-ray and anatomical data from fully hydrated cells. Highly vacuolated large palisade mesophyll cells in V. neurophylla leaves were found to contain around 650?mM Mn. The large non-photosynthetic hypodermal cells of M. fournieri leaves, also with high vacuolar content, and the main site for Mn disposal, had an estimated mean vacuolar Mn concentration of around 600?mM. Previous qualitative X-ray mapping had shown Mn to be almost evenly sequestered across the entire leaf cross section of G. amplexicaulis. However, quantitative data obtained here showed a marked variation in localised concentrations that ranged between?~15 and?>800?mM. Notable among these were mean values of?>600?mM in spongy mesophyll cells, and?~800?mM within cells of a narrow sub epidermal layer preceding the palisade mesophyll. This study demonstrated the extraordinary Mn carrying capacities of different types of leaf cell vacuoles.  相似文献
