黄蝉离体生殖细胞微管的共焦激光扫描镜观察

用共焦激光扫描光学显微镜观察了从黄蝉花粉管中分离出来的生殖细胞微管骨架的结构变化。当生殖细胞刚从花粉管释出时,大多数呈纺锤形,细胞内的微管束与长轴平等排列着,形成一个笼子结构。生殖细胞在培养液内培养大约５－１０分种后,便由纺锤形变为椭圆形和圆球形,而微管结构也从平行排列状变为疏散状,形成许多随机分布的小向管束。之后,有些微管束消失,但有些则集结在靠近核的部位,形成一圈特亮的荧光区。以后,这特亮的荧     

黄蝉和姜花生殖细胞内肌动蛋白微丝的定位

用荧光标记的鬼笔碱染色,对离体的黄蝉和姜花的生殖细胞内肌动蛋白微丝的分布进行了研究,结果证明两种植物的生殖细胞内部都存在一个微丝网络,黄蝉生殖细胞的比姜花的简单,微丝束较粗。但姜花生殖细胞的网络微丝束比黄蝉的更紧密地环绕着核。用免疫荧光技术在黄蝉生殖细胞的分裂前期和中期,可以观察到一些微丝束的存在,但在分裂后期和末期细胞内的肌动蛋白则变为颗粒状。     

黄蝉花生殖细胞有丝分裂期间微管的动态

用微管免疫荧光方法观察了黄蝉花生殖细胞在花粉管中进行有丝分裂时的微管动态。微管在不同分裂期的分布情形很不一样。当生殖细胞由花粉进入花粉管后,细胞便立刻开始分裂进入早前期,在这阶段微管以一个紧密微管网笼子形式存在生殖细胞内。之后,细胞进入中前期,在此阶段细胞核扩大,染色体变粗,而存在细胞内的微管网逐渐变为疏松散漫状,跟着细胞进入晚前期,而微管笼子则由网状变为纵向排列状。分裂进入早中期微管变细并呈波浪状,微管由笼子结构过渡到纺锤体结构。进入中期,纺锤体全部形成,在纺锤体内可以清楚地看到两种不同类型的微管束,一种附着在染色体上,而另一种则从一极延伸至另一极。跟着细胞进入早后期,在这一阶段姊妹染色体分开并分别移向两极,在赤道板位置微管明显减少。之后,细胞进入晚后期,姊妹染色体集中在两极,极端有新微管出现。在两个染色体团之间又汇集了许多类似成膜体微管的微管。细胞进入分裂末期,存在赤道板位置的微管又再次减少,而在中央部位则新形成一“成膜体联接区”,把两个新形成的精子连接着。     

百合离体生殖细胞骨架的扫描电镜观察

从百合的花粉管分离出来的生殖细胞,经表面活化剂Ｔｒｉｔｏｎ Ｘ－１００ 及核糖核酸酶、硫酸铵离析处理。离析后的细胞经临界点干燥,扫描电镜观察显示：在离体生殖细胞的胞质内有一个非常复杂的支架网络系统。这一网络系统有内外两层：外层（靠近细胞膜）网络结构紧密,纤维束粗长;内层（靠近核）网络结构疏松,纤维束短细。一些间接证据显示,这一支架网络系统可能为微管骨架

Modification of Lipase by Polyethylene Glycol

Lipase was modified using polyethylene glycol activated by p-nitrochloroformate. The hydrolytic activity of the polyethylene glycol-derivatised lipase (PEG-lipase) was relatively low compared with that of the unmodified enzyme in aqueous system. The esterification activity, however, was enhanced following the modification. The rate of esterification of butyric acid was higher than that of oleic acid. Benzene was the best solvent for the esterification reaction.

聚乙二醇对菠萝蛋白酶的化学修饰

方法:用琥珀酸酐法活化的聚乙二醇对菠萝蛋白酶进行化学修饰,得到菠萝蛋白酶的修饰酶,对比研究三种菠萝蛋白酶:修饰酶、混合酶、天然酶的热稳定性及酸碱稳定性,考察金属离子对三种菠萝蛋白酶的影响。结果:当在55℃水浴保温100min后天然酶活力只保留20%,混合酶活力保留37%,修饰酶活力保留58%;在pH3.0-4.5及pH6.0-7.0的条件下,修饰酶活力高于天然酶活力。当Ca2 的浓度达到0.05mg/mL时,修饰酶的活力高达257.66%;当Mg2 的浓度达到0.035mg/mL时,修饰酶的活力高达147.25%。一价离子Na 对三种菠萝蛋白酶无明显影响。结论:修饰的菠萝蛋白酶对温度和pH值的稳定性均比天然酶有很大程度的提高。混合酶的活力介于天然酶和修饰酶之间说明聚乙二醇对菠萝蛋白酶有一定的保护作用。二价离子Ca2 、Mg2 对三种菠萝蛋白酶活力均有不同程度的激活作用。

Fusion Experiments of Isolated Generative Cells in Several Angiosperm Species

The generative cells used for fusion experiments were isolated from pollen grains of Zephyranthes candida and Lycoris radiata by “2-step osmotic shock” and from those of Hippeastrum vittata, Hemerocallis minor and Iris tectorum by “weak enzyme treatment” as reported previously. Using PEG method, fusions have been successfully induced between generative cells of the same species mentioned above, between generative cells of Z. candida and L. radiata, between generative cells and petal protoplasts in L. radiata, and between generative cells of L. radiata and hypocotyl protoplasts of Brassica napus. In all cases either homokaryons or heterokaryons could be obtained. Fusion of nuclei was observed sometimes in homokaryons of generative cells in L. radiata. The generative nuclei in fusion products could be well identified by labelling the generative cells before fusion with DAPI. FDA test demonstrated that most of the fusion products were viable. Factors affecting fusion efficiency including cell density, PEG concentration, duration of PEG treatment and effect of calcium ions were studied in fusion of generative cells in Z. candida. Our experiments indicate that isolated generative cells are likely to be deprived of cell wails and may be regarded as a special kind of protoplasts for direct fusion experiments.     

Polyethylene Glycol Induced Fusion of Selected Pairs of Single Protoplasts

A new method for polyethylene glycol (PEG) -induced fusion between single pairs of selected protoplasts was developed. The protoplasts were prepared from tobacco leaves. Under an inverted microscope two defined protoplasts were selected with a hand-made micropipette and transferred into a droplet of fusion solution containing 25 % PEG (M. W. 6000), 0. 1 mol/L mannitol and 0. 01 mol/L CaCl2 · 2H2O (pH 5.6). Slightly moving the pipette caused the protoplasts to contact and adhere to each other, the fusion pairs were then transferred to a solution containing 10% PEG, 0.35 mol/L sucrose and 0. 01 mol/L CaCl2 · 2H2O (pH 5.6) for approximately 10 min, followed by subsequent washing with a solution containing 0.45 mol/L sucrose and 0.04 mol/L CaC12 · 2H20 (pH 7—9). Compared with conventional fusion methods adopted to protoplast population, the present method can avoid either blind fusion of protoplasts belonging to one partner and fusion among multiple protoplasts, or the presence of unfused protoplasts, thus ensure the fusion to be precisely at the level of a selected pair of single protoplasts. Moreover, it is simple and convenient enough to show its potentiality for wide application in somatic hybridization and particularly in the case of small quantity of parental protoplasts such as in vitro intergametic fusion studies.
