麦冬花药绒毡层和乌氏体的细微结构

麦冬(Ophiopogon japonicus)的绒毡层发育为分泌型。在小孢子母细胞时期,绒毡层细胞达到了发育的高峰。此时,绒毡层细胞中细胞器非常丰富,具大量线粒体、高尔基体和质体,尤以肉质网含量最多;原乌氏体出现较早,在小孢子母细胞时期绒毡层细胞中就已出现;四分体时期,大量原乌氏体被排入内切向面的质膜和纤维素壁之间;到了小孢子早期,绒毡层细胞失去细胞壁,原乌氏体分布在质膜的凹陷处,孢粉素物质在其上沉积,发育为乌氏体,乌氏体有单个和复合两种类型;当花粉成熟时,绒毡层细胞完全解体。

超微结构研究表明,内质网在连翘（Ｆｏｒｓｙｔｈｉａｓｕｓｐｅｎｓａ（Ｔｈｕｎｂ．）Ｖａｈｌ）绒毡层发育中十分活跃,参与了许多功能的实现：１．在小抱子母细胞减数分裂时期产生前乌氏体;２．分布在前质体边缘,参与了前质体向造油体的转化;３．参与了抱粉素物质的分泌;４．粗面内质网的槽库曾两度膨大,并分割、包围细胞质,形成球形体和内质网兜（ＥＲｐｏｃｋｅｔｓ）,参与了绒毡层细胞壁的加厚和外壁蛋白的分泌。     

A Comparative Study of Anther and Pollen Development in Male Fertile and Male. Sterile Green Onion (Allium fistulosum L.)

Anther and pollen development in male-fertile and male-sterile green onions was studied. In the male-fertile line, both meiotic microspore mother ceils and tetrads have a callose wall. Mature pollen grains are 2-celled. The elongated generative cell with two bended ends displays a PAS positive cell wall. The tapetum has the character of both secretory and invasive types. From microspore stage onwards, many oil bodies or masses accumulate in the cytoplasm of the tapetal cells. The tapetum degenerates at middle 2-celled pollen stage. In male-sterile line, meiosis in microspore mother cells proceeds normally to form the tetrads. Pollen abortion occurs at microspore with vacuole stage. Two types of pollen abortion were observed. In type I, the protoplasts of the microspores contract and gradually disintegrate. At the same time the cytoplasm of microspores accumulates oil bodies which remain in the empty pollen. The tapetal cells behave normally up to the microspore stage and early stage of microspore abortion, but contain fewer oil bodies or masses than those in the male-fertilt line. At late stage of microspore abortion, three forms of the tapetal ceils can be observed: (1) the tapetal cells with degenerating protoplasts become flattened, (2) the tapetal cells enlarge but protoplasts retractor, (3) the cells break down and tile middle layer enlarges. In type Ⅱ, the cytoplasm degenerates earlier than the nucleus of the microspores and no protoplast is found in the anther locule. There are fibrous thickenings iii the endothecium of both types. It is difficult to verify whether the tapetum behavior and pollen abortion is the cause or the effect.     

洋葱花药发育中钙离子分布特征

采用焦锑酸钾沉淀钙离子技术,对洋葱（Alliumcepa）花药发育中Ca^2＋分布进行了研究。在小孢子母细胞时期,小孢子母细胞中的钙沉淀颗粒很少,但绒毡层细胞的内切向壁已出现明显的钙沉淀颗粒。在四分体时期,四分体小孢子的胼胝质壁中出现较多的钙沉淀颗粒;绒毡层细胞内切向壁的钙沉淀颗粒消失,而在外切向壁和径向壁部位的钙沉淀颗粒增加。在小孢子早期,小孢子中也出现了钙沉淀颗粒,而绒毡层细胞内切向壁表面出现了很多絮状物,其上附有细小钙沉淀颗粒。到小孢子晚期,小孢子中出现一些小液泡,细胞质中的钙沉淀颗粒有所下降。此时绒毡层细胞已明显退化,但在绒毡层膜上仍有一些乌氏体和钙沉淀颗粒。在二胞花粉早期,营养细胞中的液泡收缩、消失,细胞质中又出现了较多的钙沉淀颗粒,在质体和其内部的淀粉粒表面上附有较多的钙沉淀颗粒。到二胞花粉晚期,花粉中的钙沉淀颗粒已明显下降,仅在花粉外壁中还有一地钙沉淀颗粒．

Viral particles in developing pollen grains of Olea europaea

Double-walled tubules containing rows of isodiametric virus particles were observed in developing pollen grains of Olea europaea L. cultivar Correggiolo. Sometimes the tubules are contained in another double-walled tubular structure or in a tubular endoplasmic reticulum cistern. The viruses are present in the cytoplasm from the microspore mother cell stage up to the microspore stage but just before the first haploid mitosis they are to be found only in the pores, inside the evaginations formed by the plasmalemma. During the last phase of pollen grain development, after the germinative pores are completed, the viruses disappear.Abbreviations ER endoplasmic reticulum     

华北落叶松花粉发育过程中的钙动态分布

运用焦锑酸钾沉淀法研究了华北落叶松(Larix principis-rupprechtii Mayr)小孢子发育过程中不同阶段Ca2 的分布情况.减数分裂时期,小孢子囊壁表皮和中层细胞的细胞壁及细胞间隙Ca2 分布较多,绒毡层只有外切向面的细胞膜有Ca2 分布,小孢子母细胞的各部位则很少有Ca2 ;四分体时期,包围四分小孢子的胼胝质壁上有大量的Ca2 分布,在四分孢子壁上也有较多沉淀;游离小孢子时期,钙离子在小孢子壁的分布较四分体时期有所减少,而到花粉成熟时又逐渐增多;从四分体到花粉成熟,乌氏体周围的Ca2 有增多的趋势.对四分体外壁Ca2 的大量分布与花粉壁的形成及信号物质在花粉表面贮存的关系,以及小孢子囊的外壁、绒毡层和乌氏体在Ca2 向花粉运输中所起的作用进行了讨论.     

麻疯树花药发育过程中Ca2+的分布特征

采用超薄切片技术,在透射电镜下观察麻疯树(Jatropha curcasL.)花药发育过程中Ca2 的分布特征。在孢原细胞时期的花药中几乎看不到Ca2 沉淀,但花药维管束周围的细胞中有较多的Ca2 沉淀;到小孢子母细胞时期,细胞质中Ca2 沉淀依然较少,绒毡层壁上Ca2 沉淀明显增多;四分体形成时,小孢子细胞质和绒毡层细胞质中出现了较多的Ca2 沉淀;在小孢子发育早期,细胞质中Ca2 沉淀增加不明显,花粉壁部位累积有很多的Ca2 沉淀,绒毡层中Ca2 沉淀数量达到最多;到小孢子发育晚期,小孢子大液泡的液泡膜上有大量的Ca2 沉淀,绒毡层中Ca2 沉淀明显减少;随着二胞花粉中的大液泡消失,细胞质中积累淀粉粒以后,花粉中看到的Ca2 沉淀极少,同时,在花药维管束周围的薄壁细胞中,又出现了较多的Ca2 沉淀,表明花粉对Ca2 的需求可能降低。麻疯树花药发育过程中钙的动态分布特征暗示着钙参与了调控花粉发育过程,Ca2 的运输途径是由药隔薄壁组织运输到绒毡层,再进一步转移到小孢子表面和细胞质中,整个花药发育过程中,Ca2 沉淀表现为少—增加—减少的变化趋势。

Distribution of insoluble polysaccharides, neutral lipids, and proteins in the developing anthers of Campsis radicans (L.) Seem. (Bignoniaceae)

In this study, distribution of polysaccharides, lipids, and proteins in the developing anthers of Campsis radicans (L.) Seem. was examined from sporogenous cell stage to mature pollen, using cytochemical methods. To detect the distribution and dynamic changes of insoluble polysaccharides, lipid bodies, and proteins in the anthers through progressive developmental stages, semi-thin sections of anthers at different developmental stages were stained with periodic-acid-Schiff (PAS) reagent, Sudan black B, and Coomassie brilliant blue, respectively, and examined under light microscope. Ultrastructural observations with TEM were also carried out to determine the storage form of starch in the connective tissue, and storage form of lipids in the tapetal cells. In sporogenous cell stage, anther wall contains numerous insoluble polysaccharides. However, from the sporogenous cell stage to the vacuolated microspore stage, the amount of insoluble polysaccharides in the anther wall decreases gradually. At bicellular pollen stage, tapetum degenerates completely and polysaccharides are not seen in the anther wall. Lipid bodies are observed in the cytoplasm of both middle layer and tapetal cells at tetrad stage, whereas they disappear in the vacuolated microspore stage. Compared with polysaccharides, proteins are limited in the anther wall at early stages of development. During pollen development, polysaccharides, proteins, and lipid bodies are scarce in the cytoplasm of sporogenous cells, but their amount increases at premeiotic stage. From tetrad stage to bicellular pollen stage, microspore cytoplasm contains variable amount of insoluble polysaccharide grains, lipid and protein bodies. At bicellular pollen stage, plentiful amount of starch granules are stored in the cytoplasm of the pollen grains. Proteins and lipid bodies are also present in the cytoplasm.     

A histochemical and ultrastructural study of the ontogeny and differentiation of pollen inPodocarpus macrophyllus D. Don

Summary Male cones ofPodocarpus macrophyllus D. Don enter a period of dormancy lasting almost a year after the differentiation of archesporial tissue. The cell walls of the sporogenous and tapetal cells are different in composition from those of the cells comprising the wall of the microsporangium. The walls of tapetal cells undergo complete dissolution but the naked protoplasts do not invade the cavity of the microsporangium, and eventually degeneratein situ. Sporopollenin-containing bodies are formed on the tapetal plasmalemma although no specific tapetal organelles can be singled out as sites of synthesis of sporopollenin precursors. The original walls of the microspore mother cells are broken down completely and replaced by a thin callose-like wall. No cytomictic channels are formed prior to or during early meiosis. The outer nuclear membrane of the sporogenous cells forms numerous vesicles which likely play an important role in preparing the cell for meiosis and in the breakdown of the original sporogenous cell wall and the formation of the new wall. Pronounced evaginations and invaginations of the nuclear envelope during the tetrad stage are seen which again indicate vital nucleo-cytoplasmic exchange at the time when species specific sexine layer is being laid down. The microspore protoplast synthesizes a portion of sporopollenin precursors. Sexine and part of nexine I are laid down during the tetrad stage on lamellae of unit membrane dimensions while nexines II and III are formed after the dissolution of the tetrads by the coalescence of small, electron dense particles. Cells of the male gametophyte are initially separated from each other by distinct cell walls often traversed by plasmodesmata. Mature pollen grains have appreciable reserves of protein, lipid and starch. Results of histochemical and scanning electron microscopical observations are also reported and discussed.     

巴戟天花药发育过程中多糖和脂滴分布特征

巴戟天花药发育中多糖和脂滴类物质的分布呈现一定的规律：减数分裂之前,花药壁的绒毡层细胞中有少量脂滴,其他细胞中脂滴和淀粉粒都很少。四分体时期,四分体小孢子中开始出现脂滴,绒毡层细胞中的脂滴较以前增加,其他细胞中的脂滴和淀粉粒仍然很少。小孢子早期,游离小孢子在其表面形成了花粉外壁,靠外壁下方有一层周缘分布的多糖物质。绒毡层细胞中的脂滴明显减少。发育晚期的小孢子中形成一个大液泡,细胞质中出现淀粉粒;同时在药壁和药隔组织中也出现了淀粉粒。此时绒毡层退化。在二胞花粉早期,花粉中积累了大量淀粉粒和一些脂滴。但在成熟的花粉中（二胞花粉晚期）,淀粉粒消失,只有一定数量的脂滴保留。巴戟天成熟花粉中积累的营养物质主要为脂滴。     

DEVELOPMENT OF WHEAT (TRITICUM AESTIVUM) POLLEN. II. HISTOCHEMICAL DIFFERENTIATION OF WALL AND UBISCH BODIES DURING DEVELOPMENT

The histochemistry of different developmental stages of the pollen wall, aperture, and Ubisch bodies of Triticum aestivum is examined with light and transmission electron microscopy. Various parts of the callosic envelope of the tetrad spores stain differentially. At the late tetrad stage, the probacules and the coat of pro-Ubisch bodies are densely stained for acidic polysaccharides, protein, and neutral polysaccharides. The protectum and the core of pro-Ubisch bodies are moderately stained. Upon release of microspores from the callosic cell envelope, the stainability for acidic polysaccharides increases in the exine and in the wall of Ubisch bodies, becoming very intense in the wall of mature pollen grains and Ubisch bodies. The stainability for neutral polysaccharides is decreased in the mature pollen wall and in the Ubisch bodies, while the stainability for protein increases. The results also indicate the probability of the presence of unsaturated lipids and the absence of free aldehydes in the pollen wall and Ubisch bodies.     

Pollen Development in Actinidia deliciosa var. deliciosa: Histochemistry of the Microspore Mother Cell Walls

The development of the microspore mother cell walls in Actinidiadeliciosa (kiwifruit) has been studied using light and electronmicroscopy. The microspore mother cell wall is similar, histochemically,and structurally in anthers from both functionally staminateand functionally pistillate flowers. Deposition, which beginsduring early prophase I, produces an electron-dense multilaminatedwall layer (layer a) and by the end of meiosis I a thick electron-lucentlayer (layer b) to the inside of this multilayered wall. Thereasons for histochemical differences and similarities betweenthese layers are discussed. The original primary wall persistsuntil the late uninucleate microspore stage. Layer (b), whichis probably mainly callose, dissolves at the late tetrad/earlymicrospore stage while layer (a), which probably also containsother polysaccharides, persists and dissolves concurrently withthe primary wall.

The loculus content and tapetum during pollen development in Lilium

 The ratio of loculus volume to the volume of the entire anther began to increase from the microspore mother cell stage and reached 32.3% at anthesis. The content of the loculus was examined in Lilium during pollen development and two waves could be distinguished. From the premeiotic stage until the vacuolated microspore stage, the loculus consisted of neutral polysaccharides, pectins and proteins. These substances originated from tapetal activity from the premeiotic stage until the young microspore stage. Dictyosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum seemed to be involved in tapetal secretion, although, in some mitochondria, vesicles progressively developed as early as premeiosis and increased until the young microspore stage, which could reveal their involvement in the secretion process. At this stage, numerous cytoplasmic vesticles containing material similar to the locular material fused with the plasma membrane of the tapetum so that vesicle content was in contact with the loculus. It seems that tapetal and callose wall degradation at the late tetrad stage may also have contributed to the production of material in the loculus. From pollen mitosis to anthesis, the anther loculus contained mainly the pollenkitt which was synthesized in the tapetum between the young microspore stage and the vacuolated microspore stage. At the young microspore stage, proplastids divided and developed into elaioplasts and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) increased dramatically. Pollenkitt had a double origin: some droplets were extruded directly from the plastid stroma through the plastid envelopes; the others were unsaturated lipid globules, which presumably derived from the interaction between SER saccules and plastids.

MICROSPOROGENESIS IN CITRUS LIMON (RUTACEAE)

Prior to meiosis tapetal cells become binucleate, and callose deposition separates spore mother cells from each other. No cytomictic channels are present during meiosis. Cytokinesis is simultaneous, by furrowing. The primexine and a rudimentary exine are laid down while the microspores are still in tetrads. After callose dissolution the released microspores gradually become vacuolate and the exine becomes more complex and massive. During the tetrad stage tapetal walls are gradually lost and orbicules are deposited outside the plasmalemma. This continues after microspore release. Later, at the vacuolate microspore stage, the tapetal cells become amoeboid and intrude among the microspores. Tapetal dissolution occurs just prior to the appearance of large amounts of starch and lipids in the microspores.
