Larvae of Nyctiphanes capensis Hansen were reared in the laboratoryunder different trophic conditions (i.e., algal, animal andmixed diets) from the second calyptopis stage to the first juvenilestage. It is demonstrated that diet is important in determininggrowth rates and development of the larvae. The highest growthrates were achieved on diets of Artemia nauplii mixed with eitherthe flagellate Tetraselmis or Pseudodiaptomus nauplii. Poorerdietary conditions such as with the diatom Phaeodactylum yieldedslower growth rates where additional moults were needed to completefurcilia development. Under favourable trophic conditions theintermoult period was 46 days and was not age dependent.Three dominant pathways of pleopod development were found inhealthy individuals. 相似文献

Disks of red beet storage tissue were incubated under asepticconditions permitting the development of various metabolic processescommonly associated with aged disks, and the effects of chloramphenicoland puromycin on protein synthesis, on the development of invertaseactivity and ion absorption capacity, and on ion absorptionper se were determined. Low concentrations of chloramphenicoland puromycin inhibit the development of ion absorption capacitybut stimulate invertase development and protein synthesis, whilehigher concentrations inhibit all three processes. In contrastion absorption itself is unaffected by puromycin, but is sensitiveto quite low concentrations of chloramphenicol The D-threo andL-threo isomers of chloramphenicol have sharply contrasted effectson the development, as distinct from the utilization, of ionabsorption capacity. The D isomer inhibits the development ofion absorption capacity more effectively than the L isomer whichin turn inhibits absorption more effectively than the D isomer. A reappraisal is made of the hypothesis that ion absorptionis directly linked with protein turnover and to account forthe results a model is proposed in which D-threo-chloramphenicolis active both as an uncoupler of oxidative phosphoryalationand as an inhibitor of protein synthesis, while L-threo-chloramphenicolacts only in the former capacity and puromycin only in the latter.It is concluded that the inhibition of ion uptake by chloramphenicolcannot be attributed to a contemporaneous effect on proteinsynthesis. However, the results are consistent with the involvementof ATPase proteins in ion uptake. 相似文献

Phytoplankton community development and water chemistry werestudied for 2 years in the lowland R.Bure and most of the Broads(shallow lakes) associated with it. The data were analysed interms of time for development, which is the minimumestimated time that an average parcel of water takes to reacha site plus that it spends in it before it moves on downstream.This allows to some extent for the delaying effects that theBroads have on downriver water movement. Regressions of meanchlorophyll a on time for development were linear and suggestedthat the upstream Broads, where phytoplankton first developsin quantity in the system, have retained the water for longerthan anticipated from hydrological measurements. They effectivelyadded several weeks to the time for development. Available phosphateand nitrate concentrations decreased with time for development.Those for silicate increased. Seasonal changes in the upperpart of the study area were largely in centric diatom species.Pennate diatoms and cyanophytes became predominant in the lowerstretches. All major species were present at the extreme upperend of the stretch. With increasing development time, in a watermass dominated by water entering at the head of the study area,a succession of Cyclotella meneghiniana, Stephanodiscus hantzschiiand Melosira species was followed by Oscillatoria species thenDiatoma elongatum, Synedra ulna and Anabaena planctonica. Possiblereasons for these changes are discussed. Over 80 other taxawere present though none were so abundant as the above species.The succession is interpreted in terms of nutrient physiologyand algal growth rates to generate hypotheses for experimentaltesting. 相似文献

Determination and Differentiation of Leaf and Petal Primordia in Impatiens balsamina 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The development of primordia as leaves, petals, or as organsintermediate between leaves and petals can be regulated by photoperiodin Impatiens. In intermediate organs only some parts of theorgan differentiated as petal, and then only in some cell layers.Allometric measurements of primordium shape suggested that intermediateorgans may begin development as petals, and that their intermediatecharacter at maturity resulted from a switch of some parts ofthe organs from petal to leaf development when the primordiawere between 0.5 and 1 mm long. In reverted apices made to re-flower,primordia were not completely determined as leaves until theywere about 750 µm long. Determination typically occurredfirst at the tips and last at the bases of these primordia.The determination of primordia as leaves or petals in Impatiensis discussed in relation to primordium determination in otherspecies. It is suggested that the lack of commitment to flowermay result in relatively late primordium determination in Impatiens.

Current methods to determine the stage duration of copepodsfrom stage-frequency dataare often based on inappropriate distributionfunctions of the stage development time; they also lack a clearprobability model that describes the random noise in the data.This study aims to estimate the duration of copepod life stages,using an asymmetrical probability distribution function of developmenttime. Data on stage frequency were collected from cultured cohortsof Acartia clausi, Temora longicornis and Pseudocalanus elongatus.In addition, data from cultures of Calanoides carinatus andCalanus australis by Peterson and Painting (J. Plankton Res.,12, 283293, 1990) were used. Following Landry(Limnol.Oceanogr., 20, 854858, 1975), for each stage the numberof animals that did not yet pass that stage was plotted as afunction of time. A gamma distribution function appeared todescribe the expected proportion of these animals versus time.The number of animals is assumed to follow a binomial distributionand the model parameters are estimated by maximizing the likelihood.This method enables individuals with a retarded development,which are usually deleted from the data material, to be dealtwith. The median development time was estimated from the gammadistribution functions, from which the duration of the stageswas derived. Isochronal development was confirmed for most stages.However, the first feeding naupliar stage, as well as the lastcopepodite stage (CV), took longer in most species, whereasthe pre-feeding naupliar stages had a shorter duration, particularlyin P.elongatus. Differences betweensexes were not apparent.Contradicting results among cultures and with published resultsbyother workers suggest that part of the observed deviation fromnear-isochronal development may be due to the culture conditions. 相似文献

Leaf discs of Streptocarpus nobilis were cultured in vitro underconditions leading to flowering. The histo-logical aspects ofthe in vitro flower bud development were studied. It was foundthat in some instances flower buds develop from meristematiccells differentiated from wound tissue, and in others they arisedirectly from epidermal and sub-epidermal leaf blade tissues. 相似文献

Initial events were studied in the development of an embryogenicmeristem during somatic embryogenesis from in vitro culturedimmature cotyledons of soybean. The presence of 2,4-D in theculture medium led to the formation of a superficial embryogenictissue associated with the abaxial epidermis of 3 mm cotyledons.Additionally, 2,4-D initiated rapid non-morphogenic periclinaldivision in the parenchyma tissues of the cotyledon. Consequentinternal expansion disrupted and eventually ruptured the apparentlyquiescent adaxial epidermis. The profound difference in thein vitro response between abaxial and adaxial epidermes is discussedin relation to their relative roles in nutrient transport duringseed development in vivo.

Copepod population and biomass was monitored in Auke Bay, Alaska,during the spring bloom from 1987 to 1989. The most abundantspecies were Pseudocalanus spp., Oithona similis and Centropagesabdominalis, with Acartia clausi reaching high concentrationsin the surface waters. Although populations of Pseudocalanuswere similar during all three years, C.abdominalis and O.similisconcentrations were significantly higher in 1988 and lower in1989 than in 1987. The population differences may have resultedfrom warmer temperatures during early spring in 1988. Substantialcontributions to biomass resulted from advection of adult Calanusmarshallae and Metridia ochotensis and late stage Neocalanusplumchrus into the bay. While copepod populations in Auke Bayappear to be more sensitive to factors influencing the timingand development rate of various cohorts, biomass is substantiallyaltered by water mass movements. 相似文献

The various pathways of pollen development were investigatedin cultured anthers of Lolium temulentum, Festuca pratensisand the L. multiflorum x F. pratensis hybrid Elmet.In all three, development from the vegetative cell was the predominantpathway of pollen callus development. However, there were characteristicdifferences in the behaviour of the generative cell. In L. temulentumit remained attached to the pollen wall and degenerated, whereasin F. pratensis it divided. In Elmet it detachedfrom the pollen wall and remained undivided. Both polarizedand unpolarized partitioned calluses were observed. Developmentof the fusion product of the vegetative and generative nucleiwere also observed in anthers of L. temulentum. Anomalous grainswere not found to be major source of pollen calluses. Sections of anthers of L. temulentum were used to investigatethe origin of S pollen grains, the small pale-staining grainswhich denote pollen dimorphism. Such grains form out of contactwith the tapetum and are therefore determined before or duringmeiosis (i.e. before harvest of anthers for culture). Sectionswere also used to demonstrate the influence of the durationof pretreatment on the development of the middle layer of theanther wall.

Ochna pulchra Hook. is a deciduous broad-leaved tree in theMixed Bushveld vegetation of the Northern Transvaal. The growthand development of leaves taken from trees in the field werestudied from a stage shortly before bud break, in late spring,until they were fully expanded and at the peak of photosyntheticactivity. Leaf area was measured by photographing the leaf against a transparentmm2 grid. Finally a constant relationship between leaf area(A) and the linear dimension of length (L) and breadth (B) wasestablished: A = b x LB, where coefficient b = 0.72. Transverse sections of the lamina of the youngest leaves showeda five-layered plate meristem with a few functional conductingelements in the midrib. During further leaf development, celldivision was followed by means of autoradiography using [3H]thymidine.It was most active during the week after bud break. Leaf cell increment following on cell division made the majorcontribution to leaf growth resulting in a lamina that was atleast 90% expanded 4 weeks after bud break. The histologicalchanges accompanying cell division were observed using lightand electron microscopy. Even in late stages of leaf development mature and differentiatingstomata occurred together, limited to the abaxial epidermisand the midrib. Scanning electron microscopy showed stomataldistribution, their increasing density and gradual opening.The structure of these sunken stomata could reduce the outwarddiffusion of water vapour and increase the diffusion resistanceto carbon dioxide. Carbon assimilation rates of the developing leaves were measuredusing an IRGA (infra-red gas analyser) and their chlorophyllvalues were calculated. Photosynthesis was first measured amonth after bud break when the leaves were fully expanded, over50 % of the stomata exposed and leaf mesophyll tissue differentiatedwith mature chloroplasts. Net photosynthetic rates and chlorophyllvalues peaked 1 month later. Ochna pulchra Hook., photosynthesis, leaf development, leaf area, stomata, chlorophyll, savanna 相似文献

Anther development and pollen sterility were followed in plantsof wheat, oat, barley, sweetcorn, sunflower, petunia and subterraneumclover grown at a range of copper supplies. Copper-deficientplants had increased pollen sterility. Lignified wall thickenings were reduced or absent in the endotheciaof anthers from Cu-deficient plants. Reduced seed set may resultboth from reduced pollen fertility or failure of the stomiato rupture due to decreased lignification of anther walls.

Spores of Dryopteris marginalis were germinated on a definednutrient medium at varying pH levels (3.28.2). Sporegermination in all treatments ranged from 65.5 to 75.0 per centand the effect of pH on germination is concluded to be minimal.Normal gametophyte development, as determined by the numberof cells produced and the pattern of development, is stronglyaffected by the pH of the medium and developmental abnormalitieswere observed below pH 5.8. The usefulness of the system asa biological indicator for acidic precipitation is discussed.

Evolution of insect eye development: first insights from fruit fly, grasshopper and flour beetle 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Friedrich M 《Integrative and comparative biology》2003,43(4):508-521
The molecular genetic dissection of Drosophila eye developmentled to the exciting discovery of a surprisingly large panelof genes and gene activities, which are functionally conservedacross phyla. Little effort has yet been made towards pinpointingnon-conserved gene functions in the developing Drosophila eye.This neglects the fact that Drosophila visual system developmentis a highly derived process. The comparative analysis of Drosophilaeye development within insects can be expected to enhance resolutionand accuracy of between phyla comparisons of eye development,and to reveal molecular developmental changes that facilitatedthe evolutionary transition from hemimetabolous to holometabolousinsect development. Here we review aspects of early Drosophilaeye development, which are likely to have diverged from thesituation in more primitive insects, as indicated by resultsfrom work in the flour beetle Tribolium castaneum and the grasshopperSchistocerca americana. 相似文献

The effects of daylength and temperature on the induction ofdormancy in shoots of Calluna vulgaris were investigated usingcontrolled environment growth rooms. Short days did not induce dormancy in Calluna but floweringwas inhibited and shoots having a characteristic end-of-seasonmorphology were formed. Short days combined with low temperaturesarrested growth but the depth of dormancy was not as great asthat of plants in the field in late autumn. Long days combinedwith low temperature did not induce dormancy or the end-of-seasonmorphology. Results from the growth room experiments may be interpretedin relation to the annual cycle of development of Calluna underfield conditions.

Fatty Acids in Chloroplasts and Leaves 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The fatty acid composition of green and white leaf tissue inAcer negundo, Zea mais, and Ilex aquifolium, of green and yellowtissue in Ligustrum ovatifolium and of etiolated and green tissuein Vicia faba has been determined. The mesophytic green leavesexamined show a general similarity in fatty acid composition,characterized by a high concentration of non-conjugated octadecatrienoicacid. Chloroplasts were isolated from Vicia and Acer and containan even higher concentration of this acid and only traces ofnon-conjugated octadecadienoic acid. Conjugated diene and trieneacids occur in traces in chioroplasts, but are also found innon-green leaf tissue. The fats of non-green leaves are in generalmore saturated than those from green tissue but vary considerablyin composition. The relationship between fat composition andplastid development is discussed. 相似文献

Development of Axillary and Leaf-opposed Buds in Rattan Palms 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Axillary vegetative buds are present in Calamus, Ceratolobus,and Plectocomiopsis. Two species of Daemonorops Sect. Piptospathaalso have axillary vegetative buds. All species of Daemonoropshave only displaced adnate axillary inflorescence buds. A singlebud is initiated in the axil of the first or second leaf primordiumin a way similar to that for axillary inflorescence buds. Themeristem is displaced during development on to the internodeabove and sometimes on to the base of the leaf above. Leaf-opposedvegetative buds occur in five species of Daemonorops Sect. Cymbospathaand in one species of Daemonorops Sect. Piptospatha. This typeof bud is initiated 180° away from the axil of the firstor second leaf primordium. It is not a displaced axillary bud,but does become adnate to the internode above like the axillarybuds. One or more leaves, transitional between juvenile andadult, on a shoot often subtend both types of buds. Myrialepishas leaf-opposed vegetative buds, but their development wasnot observed. Korthalsia has buds that are displaced about 130°from the leaf axil and are intermediate between the axillaryand the leaf-opposed condition. Other forms of vegetative budsare described: multiple buds in Plectocomia, aerial forkingin Korthalsia, and suckering from inflorescences and from aerialstems in Calamus. bud development, rattan palms, palm taxonomy, branching 相似文献

Seg8 is one of eight barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) mutants whoseendosperm development is affected by the maternal plant genotype.This study was initiated to determine the nature and onset ofabnormal development to provide a basis for further studiesaimed at understanding the mechanism of genetic control. Seeddevelopment and synthesis and accumulation of reserve substanceswere compared between seg8 and its normal counterpart, cv. Klages.Light microscopic examination showed that the mutant phenotypeappeared as early as 4 d after anthesis (DAA), and seg8 graindry weight was significantly lower than cv. Klages by 8 DAA.Grain cell number was significantly lower in seg8 by 8 DAA,indicating an early termination of cell division. The mutanthad a lower starch concentration and higher sucrose concentration,also evident at 8 DAA. Rates of [14C]sucrose incorporation intostarch in excised half seeds were similar in both genotypesat 2 and 4 DAA, but at 8 and 12 DAA seg8 had a lower rate. Totalprotein concentration was not significantly different betweenthe two genotypes throughout endosperm development. These resultsindicate that the mutation affects cell division and starchaccumulation prior to 8 DAA. It is not known if the reductionin starch biosynthesis and accumulation results from a reducedcapacity for starch or a defect in starch biosynthesis.

The rates of leaf and flower production were determined in peas(Pisum sativum L.) of genotypes e sn hr (line 13), E Sn hr (line60), and E Sn Hr (line G2), to assess the role of the interactionof alleles Sn and Hr with photoperiod in development. The ratesat which flowers at successive nodes opened (AR) and leavesat successive nodes unfolded (PR) were constant. The AR wasfaster than the PR so that successive flowers opened at nodescloser to the apical bud. The rate at which this occurred wasindependent of photoperiod in line 13 but was slightly or markedlyslower in short days (SD) than long days (LD) in lines 60 andG2, respectively. The opening of flowers closer to the apicalbud of G2 peas in SD was so slow as to not be visually apparentduring the time of this study. The number of nodes between thefirst open flower and the apical bud was unaffected by photoperiodin line 13 but was greater in SD than LD in lines 60 and G2.The daylength effects are photoperiodic, since development ofG2 peas in LD with respect to the parameters measured was unaffectedby light intensity. It is concluded that photoperiod and theE Sn allele combination control the rate of reproductive developmentrelative to vegetative development in peas. The effects of ESn are magnified by the presence of the Hr allele. The constantrates of development measured are not consistent with declineof Sn allele expression with age. Delay of the rate of reproductivedevelopment relative to vegetative development correlated withdelay of apical senescence, suggesting that these processesare related.
