Situations of high flower bud drop and low fruit set without apparent causes are common in fruit trees. The term flower quality
has been coined to explain differences among flowers in their capacity to set fruit, but the causes underpinning these differences
are largely unknown. This lack of knowledge is based on the fact that these differences are established a posteriori and there
are no criteria to determine a priori what will make a flower to set a fruit or to drop. In this work, we profit from the
empirical knowledge that there are fruiting and non-fruiting shoots to explore to which extent flower bud differentiation
and bud development will affect the subsequent fruit set. For this purpose, the processes from flower bud differentiation
to fruit set were sequentially analyzed in both types of shoots, over 2 years. More than half of the buds from long shoots
aborted development and dropped before flowering. At anthesis, most of the remaining flowers showed underdeveloped pistils
that failed to sustain pollen germination or pollen tube growth along the pistil. This unsuccessful development resulted in
clear differences in fruit set between both types of branches. These results highlight that flower bud differentiation and
development play an important role for fruit set and that developmental timing appears critical to reach anthesis with a fully
developed pistil. 相似文献

Asynchronous development of stigmatic receptivity in the pear (Pyrus communis; Rosaceae) flower 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
While stigma anatomy is well documented for a good number of species, little information is available on the acquisition and cessation of stigmatic receptivity. The aim of this work is to characterize the development of stigma receptivity, from anthesis to stigma degeneration, in the pentacarpellar pear (Pyrus communis) flower. Stigma development and stigmatic receptivity were monitored over two consecutive years, as the capacity of the stigmas to offer support for pollen germination and pollen tube growth. In an experiment where hand pollinations were delayed for specified times after anthesis, three different stigmatic developmental stages could be observed: (1) immature stigmas, which allow pollen adhesion but not hydration; (2) receptive stigmas, which allow proper pollen hydration and germination; and (3) degenerated stigmas, in which pollen hydrates and germinates properly, but pollen tube growth is impaired soon after germination. This developmental characterization showed that stigmas in different developmental stages coexist within a flower and that the acquisition and cessation of stigmatic receptivity by each carpel occur in a sequential manner. In this way, while the duration of stigmatic receptivity for each carpel is rather short, the flower has an expanded receptive period. This asynchronous period of receptivity for the different stigmas of a single flower is discussed as a strategy that could serve to maximize pollination resources under unreliable pollination conditions. 相似文献

Callose formation was observed in the pollens during flower development and pollen tube grown in the pistil ofA. thaliana. The accumulation of callose occurred in the tetrad in the flower bud and pollen tube. Therefore, the activity of β-glucan
synthetase II (GS II), which is responsible for synthesizing the callose, was measured in the flowers on the same developmental
stages. The enzyme activity was increased by about 10% while the level of callose contents was increased by about 70% in tetrads.
Then, callose accumulation was increased during pollen tube growth by about 30% higher than the other stages and enzyme activity
was detected, 30% more too. These results suggest that callose plays an important role in the growth of pollen and pollen
tube by increasing GS II activity. 相似文献

Current evidence suggests that pollen is both chemically and structurally protected. Despite increasing interest in studying bee–flower networks, the constraints for bee development related to pollen nutritional content, toxicity and digestibility as well as their role in the shaping of bee–flower interactions have been poorly studied. In this study we combined bioassays of the generalist bee Bombus terrestris on pollen of Cirsium, Trifolium, Salix, and Cistus genera with an assessment of nutritional content, toxicity, and digestibility of pollen. Microcolonies showed significant differences in their development, non‐host pollen of Cirsium being the most unfavorable. This pollen was characterized by the presence of quite rare δ7‐sterols and a low digestibility. Cirsium consumption seemed increase syrup collection, which is probably related to a detoxification mixing behavior. These results strongly suggest that pollen traits may act as drivers of plant selection by bees and partly explain why Asteraceae pollen is rare in bee generalist diet. 相似文献

The role of electrostatic forces in pollination 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

This paper reviews research on the role of electrostatic forces in pollination, both in natural and in agricultural systems. Researchers from various fields of biological studies have reported phenomena which they related to electrostatic forces. The theory of electrostatically mediated pollen transfer between insect pollinators and the flowers they visit is described, including recent studies which confirmed that the accumulated charges on airborne honey bees are sufficient for non-contact pollen detachment by electrostatic forces (i.e., electrostatic pollination). The most important morphological features in flower adaptiveness to electrostatic pollination were determined by means of two theoretical models of a flower exposed to an approaching charged cloud of pollen; they are style length and flower opening. Supplementary pollination by using electrostatic techniques is reported, and its possible importance in modern agriculture is discussed. 相似文献

- One of the key environmental factors affecting plant reproductive systems is temperature. Characterising such effects is especially relevant for some commercially important genera such as Citrus. In this genus, failure of fertilisation results in parthenocarpic fruit development and seedlessness, which is a much‐prized character. Here, we characterise the effects of temperature on flower and ovary development, and on pollen–pistil interactions in ‘Comune’ clementine (Citrus clementina Hort. ex Tan.).
- We examine flower bud development, in vitro pollen germination and pollen–pistil interaction at different temperatures (15, 20, 25 or 30 °C). These temperatures span the range from ‘cold’ to ‘hot’ weather during the flowering season in many citrus‐growing regions.
- Temperature had a strong effect on flower and ovary development, pollen germination, and pollen tube growth kinetics. In particular, parthenocarpic fruit development (indicated by juice vesicle growth) was initiated early if flowers were exposed to warmer temperatures during anthesis.
- Exposure to different temperatures during flower bud development also alters expression of the self‐incompatibility reaction. This affects the point in the pistil at which pollen tube growth is arrested and confirms the role of sub‐ and supra‐optimal temperatures in determining the numbers of pollen tubes reaching the ovary.

Nitric oxide (NO) controls diverse functions in many cells and organs of animals. It is also produced in plants and has a variety of effects, but little is known about their underlying mechanisms. In the present study, we have discovered a role for NO in the regulation of pollen tube growth, a fast tip-growing cellular system. Pollen tubes must be precisely oriented inside the anatomically complex female ovary in order to deliver sperm. We hypothesized that NO could play a role in this guidance and tested this hypothesis by challenging the growth of pollen tubes with an external NO point source. When a critical concentration was sensed, the growth rate was reduced and the growth axis underwent a subsequent sharp reorientation, after which normal growth was attained. This response was abrogated in the presence of the NO scavenger CPTIO and affected by drugs interfering in the cGMP signaling pathway. The sensitivity threshold of the response was significantly augmented by sildenafil citrate (SC), an inhibitor of cGMP-specific phosphodiesterases in animals. NO distribution inside pollen tubes was investigated using DAF2-DA and was shown to occur mostly in peroxisomes. Peroxisomes are normally excluded from the tip of pollen tubes and little if any NO is found in the cytosol of that region. Our data indicate that the rate and orientation of pollen tube growth is regulated by NO levels at the pollen tube tip and suggest that this NO function is mediated by cGMP. 相似文献

Distinct expression of members of the LHT amino acid transporter family in flowers indicates specific roles in plant reproduction 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Sexual plant reproduction necessitates proper development of pollen, pollen germination and tube growth through various tissues
of the pistil, the female organ of the flower. Finally, sperm cells are released to fertilize the female gametophyte. These
processes require high metabolic activities of all tissues involved and rely on the delivery of nitrogen assimilates for success.
However, transporters mediating nitrogen fluxes are mostly unknown. The presented work provides an expression analysis of
members of the LHT amino acid transporter family in relation to pollen development and pollen–pistil interaction. Expression
of Arabidopsis
LHTs was analyzed during flower development and the location of LHT function resolved by transporter-GFP and promoter-GUS studies. GFP-LHT localization in onion cells indicates that all LHTs analyzed are targeted to the plasma membrane. We further
showed that LHTs are expressed in anthers and male gametophytes where they are proposed to function in transport of amino acids for pollen
development and maturation. Expression in germinating pollen, pollen tubes and transmitting tissue of the pistil points to
a role of LHTs in support of the fertilization process. Overall, our study suggests that LHT function in flowers is cell or
tissue specific, developmentally regulated and highly coordinated between male and female tissue. 相似文献

Empirical evidence suggests that pollen chemistry plays an important role in shaping the pollen host spectra of many bee species. Although the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood, pollen diets of several plant taxa have experimentally been found to impede larval development of unspecialized bees. The pollen of all plant taxa, for which such a detrimental effect on bee larval development has been observed so far, is freely accessible in the flowers and thus easily harvestable for flower visitors, suggesting that this pollen might be chemically protected in order to reduce its loss to pollen-feeding animals. In the present study, we compared larval performance of five solitary bee species on pollen diets of the two Fabaceae species Onobrychis viciifolia and Lotus corniculatus, which have their anthers concealed inside the flowers, with that on control diets composed of host pollen provisions. As the complex flower morphology of the two Fabaceae species already considerably narrows the spectrum of pollen harvesting bee taxa, which might supersede costly chemical protection of the pollen, we expected bees that usually do not exploit Fabaceae to develop well on Onobrychis and Lotus pollen diets. Larval survival on the Onobrychis pollen diet was successful for all five bee species tested. In contrast, larval survival on the Lotus pollen diet was reduced in three species despite the fact that Lotus flowers are more difficult to exploit for pollen than Onobrychis flowers. We conclude that there is no trade-off between pollen concealment and pollen defence in Lotus and that pollen of morphologically complex flowers with a restricted visitor spectrum is not necessarily an easy-to-use nutritional source. 相似文献
