Summary The prolonged exposure of pollen Nicotiana tabacum to high humidity at both room temperature and 38° C did not affect membrane integrity as revealed by the fluorochromatic reaction (FCR) test, but did affect pollen vigour. At room temperature germination was not affected, although tube growth was reduced; at 38° C, there was both a reduction in tube growth and delayed germination. When the pollen was subjected to 1 h hydration followed by 1 h desiccation (up to a maximum of four cycles) at room temperature, a reduction in the FCR, germination and tube length after each desiccation treatment was observed. Subsequent hydration fully restored the FCR, but only partially restored germination and tube growth. At 38° C, however, FCR, germination, and tube growth were drastically reduced. The implications of these results on the relationship between FCR and germinability, the responses of pollen exposed to humidity and temperature stress in the field, and on pollen storage are discussed. 相似文献

Genetically engineered pollen with a visible marker gene could be useful to monitor the movement of transgenic pollen provided there are no negative physiological or fitness effects of expressing such a gene. In this study, we measured the fitness of Nicotiana tabacum cv. Xanthi pollen expressing the marker gene green fluorescent protein (GFP). Average pollen tube germination frequencies and pollen tube growth rates in vitro were measured in three different types of plants: (1) plants producing GFP in pollen cells only (LAT59-GFP), (2) plants synthesizing GFP under the control of a constitutive promoter (CaMV 35S) in which no GFP was produced in pollen, and (3) non-transgenic plants. Pollen synthesizing the GFP protein did not differ significantly in average pollen germination frequencies from pollen without GFP (P=0.65). Average pollen tube growth rates over a 5-h period did not differ significantly between transgenic and non-transgenic types (R2=0.89, 0.98, and 0.95, respectively, for GFP-tagged, 35S-GFP, and wild type). Overall, GFP expression in pollen grains of tobacco was not found to have an effect on pollen fitness under the controlled experimental conditions of this study. 相似文献

Summary Procedures are described for efficient selection of: (1) homozygous and heterozygous S-allele genotypes; (2) homozygous inbreds with the strong self- and sib-incompatibility required for effective seed production of single-cross F1 hybrids; (3) heterozygous genotypes with the high self- and sib-incompatibility required for effective seed production of 3- and 4-way hybrids.From reciprocal crosses between two first generation inbred (I1) plants there are three potential results: both crosses are incompatible; one is incompatible and the other compatible; and both are compatible. Incompatibility of both crosses is useful information only when combined with data from other reciprocal crosses. Each compatible cross, depending on whether its reciprocal is incompatible or compatible, dictates alternative reasoning and additional reciprocal crosses for efficiently and simultaneously identifying: (A) the S-allele genotype of all individual I1 plants, and (B) the expressions of dominance or codominance in pollen and stigma (sexual organs) of an S-allele heterozygous genotype. Reciprocal crosses provide the only efficient means of identifying S-allele genotypes and also the sexual-organ x S-allele-interaction types.Fluorescent microscope assay of pollen tube penetration into the style facilitates quantitation within 24–48 hours of incompatibility and compatibility of the reciprocal crosses. A procedure for quantitating the reciprocal difference is described that maximizes informational content of the data about interactions between S alleles in pollen and stigma of the S-allele-heterozygous genotype.Use of the non-inbred Io generation parent as a known heterozygous S-allele genotype in crosses with its first generation selfed (I1) progeny usually reduces at least 7 fold the effort required for achieving objectives 1, 2, and 3, compared to the method of making reciprocal crosses only among I1 plants.Identifying the heterozygous and both homozygous S-allele genotypes during the I1 generation facilitates, during subsequent inbred generations, strong selection for or against modifier genes that influence the intensity of self- and sib-incompatibility. Selection for strong self and sib incompatibility can be effective for both homozygous inbreds and also for the S-allele heterozygote, thus facilitating production of single-cross F1 hybrids and also of 3-and 4-way hybrids.Department of Plant Breeding and Biometry paper No. 690 相似文献

UV-B辐射对植物花粉萌发率和花粉管生长的累积效应 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
研究了19种植物花粉在不同UV-B辐射强度和辐照时间下其萌发率和花粉管伸长的变化,结果表明,UV-B辐射增加显著抑制大多数植物花粉的萌发率和花粉管生长;与对照相比,较高强度的UV-B对花粉的抑制作用大于较低强度;几个种的花粉萌发率及花粉管生长对UV-B增强不敏感,甚至被UV-B辐射所促进;辐射时间越长,对花粉抑制作用愈大,说明具有辐射累积效应,由此可知,植物花粉的萌发过程对UV-B的敏感性变化在自然条件下将会产生严重的生态学后果。 相似文献

Summary. The cell wall composition of germinating pollen grains of Actinidia deliciosa was studied by immunolocalization with monoclonal antibodies against arabinogalactan proteins (AGPs) and pectins. In ungerminated pollen, the JIM8 epitope (against a subset of AGPs) was located in the intine and in the cytoplasm, while the MAC207 epitope (against AGPs) was only located in the exine. After germination, the JIM8 and MAC 207 epitopes were located in the cytoplasm and in the pollen tube wall. The Yariv reagent that binds to AGPs was added to the germination medium inducing a reduction or inhibition in pollen germination. This indicates that AGPs are present in the growing pollen tube and play an important role in pollen germination. To identify the nature of the pectins found in pollen grains and tubes, four monoclonal antibodies were used. The JIM5 epitope (against unesterified pectins) was located in the intine, more intensely in the pore region, and along the pollen tube wall, and the JIM7 epitope (against methyl-esterified pectins) was also observed in the cytoplasm. After germination, the JIM5 epitope was located in the pollen tube wall; although, the tube tip was not labelled. The JIM7 epitope was located in the entire pollen tube wall. LM5 (against galactans) showed a labelling pattern similar to that of JIM5 and the pattern of LM6 (against arabinans) was similar to that of JIM7. Pectins show different distribution patterns when the degree of esterification is considered. Pollen tube wall pectins are less esterified than those of the pollen tube tip. The association of AGPs with pectins in the cell wall of the pollen grain and the pollen tube may play an important role in the maintenance of cell shape during pollen growth and development.Correspondence and reprints: Instituto de Biologia Molecular e Celular, Universidade do Porto, Rua do Campo Alegre, 823, 4150-180 Porto, Portugal. 相似文献

Pyrus pyrifolia stylar S-RNase induces alterations in the actin cytoskeleton in self-pollen and tubes in vitro 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary. Pears (Pyrus pyrifolia L.) have an S-RNase-based gametophytic self-incompatibility system, and S-RNases have also been implicated in self-pollen
or genetically identical pollen rejection. Tip growth of the pollen tube is dependent on a functioning actin cytoskeleton.
In this study, configurations of the actin cytoskeleton in P. pyrifolia pollen and effects of stylar S-RNases on its dynamics were investigated by fluorescence and confocal microscopy. Results
show that actin filaments in normal pollen grains exist in fusiform or circular structures. When the pollen germinates, actin
filaments assembled around one of the germination pores, and then actin bundles oriented axially throughout the shank of the
growing tube. There was a lack of actin filaments 5–15 μm from the tube tip. When self-stylar S-RNase was added to the basal
medium, pollen germination and tube growth were inhibited. The configuration of the actin cytoskeleton changed throughout
the culturing time: during the first 20 min, the actin configurations in the self-pollen and tube were similar to the control;
after 20 min of treatment, the actin filaments in the pollen tube gradually moved into a network running from the shank to
the tip; finally, there was punctate actin present throughout the whole tube. Although the actin filaments of the self-pollen
grain also disintegrated into punctate foci, the change was slower than in the tube. Furthermore, the alterations to the actin
cytoskeleton occurred prior to the arrest of pollen tube growth. These results suggest that P. pyrifolia stylar S-RNase induces alterations in the actin cytoskeleton in self-pollen grains and tubes.

In Mimulus guttatus, copper tolerance is determined largely by a single gene and is expressed in both the sporophyte and microgametophyte. This study explores the extent to which selection during pollen formation affects copper tolerance in the sporophytic generation. Two sets of plants heterozygous for copper tolerance, produced by reciprocal crosses between different copper-tolerant or sensitive families, and the plant on which the original observations were based, were cloned and grown in control or copper-supplemented solutions. Pollen viability and the number of tolerant progeny produced in backcrosses to sensitive plants were compared. In addition, the effect of copper treatment on pollen viability in vitro was compared for plants tolerant, sensitive and heterozygous for copper tolerance. The extent to which in vitro pollen viability decreased in response to copper treatment corresponded to the copper tolerance of the pollen source. When grown with added copper, four of the five plants showed significant reductions in pollen viability, ranging from 18% to 48% of control values. The reductions in pollen viability were correlated with an increase in tolerant progeny (r= 0.679, p=0.004). Increases in tolerant progeny could be large, ranging from 119% to 170% of that of controls, but were usually smaller than was predicted from the reductions in viable pollen. In addition, plants derived from reciprocal crosses differed significantly in the extent to which pollen viability was decreased and sporophytic tolerance increased. Thus, while selection during pollen formation could increase sporophytic tolerance, sporophytic factors, perhaps including cytoplasmic or epigenetic ones, moderated the effectiveness of pollen selection for copper tolerance. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that UV-B could affect pollen germination and tube growth. However, the mechanism of response of pollen to UV-B has not been clear. The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in the UV-B-induced reduction of in vitro pollen germination and tube growth of Paeonia suffruticosa Andr. and Paulownia tomentosa Steud. Exposure of pollen of the two species to 0.4 and 0.8 W m−2 UV-B radiation for 3 h resulted in not only the reduction of pollen germination and tube growth, but also the H2O2 production in pollen grain and tube. Also, exogenous H2O2 inhibited pollen germination and tube growth of the two species in a dose-dependence manner. Two scavengers of H2O2, ascorbic acid and catalase, largely prevented not only the H2O2 generation, but also the reduction of pollen germination and tube growth induced by UV-B radiation in the two species. These results indicate that H2O2 is involved in the UV-B-inhibited pollen germination and tube growth. 相似文献

Changes in the microfilament (actin)organization in the germinating pollen of Hedychium coronarium Koenig were followed after TRITC-phalloidin staining without fixation. Changes in the pattern of organization of the microfilaments were visualized using eonfocal microscopy. In the hydrated pollen a reticulate network of microfilament can be observed. Before the pollen tube protrudes out from the germination pore numerous microfilaments begin to converge towards the aperture. After 10–30 mins of germination,pollen tube appears. In the pollen tube a new network of microfilament forms near the tip region. Between the pollen and the pollen tube tip region there are numerous linearly arranged microfilaments. About 1 hour after germination,the pollen tube has reached a length of about 300μm Inside the pollen, tube there are numerous longitudinally oriented microfilaments. The microfilament network in the pollen tube tip region does not change much. About 2 hours after germination,the pollen tube reaches about 1000μm in length. At this stage,the pattern of distribution of microfilament in the pollen tube is very similar to that seen at the earlier stages of development ,whereas the pattern is somewhat different in the pollen. Microfilaments in the central region of the pollen grain disappear but still a parietal network in the peripheral region. About 5 hours after germination,the microfilaments in the pollen tube become abnormally variable and produce branches. Some even change into spicules, sheets and thick bundles. 相似文献

Summary All possible crosses among 5 strains of Gossypium hirsutum were made, and the pollen tubes were grown in vivo for 4 h before being fixed, stained and measured. Temperatures ranging from 18.5 to 40.0 °C were tested for pollen germination and pollen tube growth. The optimal temperature for pollen tube growth was 30.0 °C. Relative humidity levels of 0 to 100% were used as a pre-pollination treatment of the pollen. Significant differences among the mean pollen tube length of the strains occurred due to pollenXstyle interactions. The strains also differed in the number of styles which did not support pollen tube growth. These differences were also due to pollenXstyle interactions. Pollen and style strains could be ranked according to their relative contribution to pollen tube length.College of Agricultural Sciences Publication Number T-4-189 相似文献

Various factors (pollen diameter, in vitro germination and tube length, in vivo growth rate in selfed and nonselfed styles) which could possibly contribute to the competitive ability of pollen were investigated on 30 Zea mays L. inbred lines. The only factor with which pollen diameter was positively correlated was in vitro pollen-tube growth. Traits related to the early stages of growth (in vitro germination, in vitro tube length, early in vivo pollen growth rate) were all positively correlated with each other, and these early characteristics were negatively correlated with late in vivo tube growth rate, which is largely influenced by the stylar genotype. 相似文献

Promoter activity of a putative pollen monosaccharide transporter in Petunia hybrida and characterisation of a transposon insertion mutant 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary. For the growth of the male reproductive cells of plants, the pollen, the presence of sufficient sucrose or monosaccharides
is of vital importance. From Petunia hybrida a pollen-specific putative monosaccharide transporter designated PMT1 (for petunia monosaccharide transporter) has been identified previously. The present work provides an in-depth analysis and
characterisation of PMT1 in the context of pollen development with the GUS reporter gene and an insertion mutant. The promoter of the pollen-specific putative PMT1 gene has been isolated by inverse PCR and sequenced. Analysis of plants transformed with the promoter-GUS fusion confirmed the specificity of this gene, belonging to the late pollen-specific expressed genes. GUS activity was detected
even after 24 h of in vitro pollen germination, at the pollen tube tip. To elucidate the importance of PMT1 for gametophyte development and fertilisation, we isolated a mutant plant containing a transposon insertion in the PMT1 gene by the dTph1 transposon-tagging PCR-based assay. The PMT1 mutant contained a dTph1 insertion in position 1474 bp of the transcribing part of the gene, before the last two transmembrane-spanning domains. Analysis
of the progeny of the heterozygous mutant after selfing revealed no alterations in pollen viability and fertility. Mature
pollen grains of a plant homozygous for the transposon insertion were able to germinate in vitro in a medium containing sucrose,
glucose, or fructose, which indicates that PMT1 is not essential for pollen survival. Several explanations for these results are discussed in the present work.

Summary InPicea abies (Norway spruce), microtubules and actin microfllaments both form a dense matrix throughout the tube mainly parallel to the direction of elongation. In these conifer pollen tubes the organization of this matrix is different from that in angiosperms. This study tests our hypothesis that differences in cytoskeletal organization are responsible for differences in tube growth and physiology. Pollen grains were germinated in media containing cytoskeletal disrupters and analyzed for germination, tube length, tube branching, and tip swelling. Disruption of microtubules significantly inhibits tube elongation and induces tube branching and tip swelling. Tip swelling is probably caused by disruption of the microtubules in the tip that are perpendicular to the direction of elongation. Confocal microscopy indicates that colchicine and propyzamide cause fragmentation of microtubules throughout the tube. Oryzalin and amiprophosmethyl cause a complete loss of microtubules from the tip back toward the tube midpoint but leave microtubules intact from the midpoint back to the grain. Disruption of microfilaments by cytochalasins B and D and inhibition of myosin by N-ethylmaleimide or 2,3-butanedione monoxime stops tube growth and inhibits germination. Microfilament disruption induces short branches in tubes, probably originating from defective microfilament organization behind the tip. In addition, confocal microscopy coupled with microinjection of fluorescein-labeled phalloidin into actively growing pollen tubes indicates that microfllament bundles extend into the plastid-free zone at the tip but are specifically excluded from the growing tip. We conclude that microtubules and microfilaments coordinate to drive tip extension in conifer pollen tubes in a model that differs from angiosperms. 相似文献

Reversible protein tyrosine phosphorylation affects pollen germination and pollen tube growth via the actin cytoskeleton 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary. Phenylarsine oxide (PAO) and genistein are two well-known specific inhibitors of tyrosine phosphatases and kinases, respectively,
that have been used in the functional analysis of the status of protein phosphotyrosine in different cell types. Our experiments
showed that both PAO and genistein arrested pollen germination and pollen tube growth and led to the malformation of the pollen
tubes, although genistein had a lesser effect. The malformations of the pollen tubes caused by PAO and genistein were, however,
quite different. In addition, it was found that the rate of pollen germination and tube growth recovered to a certain extent
when phalloidin was present during PAO treatment, but not when it was present during genistein treatment. Furthermore, PAO
treatment also had a great effect on the dynamic organization of filamentous actin in the pollen grain and pollen tube, while
genistein only caused reorganization of actin at the turning point of the pollen tube. Our results suggest that reversible
protein tyrosine phosphorylation is a crucial step in pollen germination and pollen tube growth, but that tyrosine kinases
and phosphatases may have different effects which may function through the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton.
