OLFACTORY RESPONSE OF THE GRASSHOPPER MELANOPLUS SANGUINIPES TO PLANT ODOURS AND VOLATILE COMPOUNDS

Abstract Electroantennograms (EAGs1 were recorded from male adults of Melanoplus sanguinipes to foliage odours from 5 plant species and 9 volatile compounds as well as their blends. Higher EAG responses were recorded for Louisianna sage and Alfalfa foliages, compared to other three gramineous plants. Among green odour chelricals, 6-carbon alcohols (e. g. E-2-hexen-1–01 and E-3-hexen-1–01] resulted in the highest EAG responszs. No significant differences among the pentenol, 3-pentanone and blank control were observed. In ternary and quaternary mixture tests of volatile compounds, the combinations with pentenol did not elicit greater amplitudes; thus pentenol and 3-pentanone were proved to be unimportant to the response of this generalist grasshopper. The EAG data are discussed with regard to the role of host plant volatiles in host plant orientation and selection by the grasshopper.     

黑蝗对植物气味及其挥发性化合物的嗅觉反应(英文)

本文使用触角电位技术研究了黑蝗雄虫的嗅觉反应,测试的材料包括5种植物叶片、9种植物挥发性气味化合物及它们的定量混合物。在5种植物材料中,路易斯安纳蒿和紫花苜蓿能引起更大的电位反应,而3种禾本科植物的反应相对较小。在绿色气味化合物中,6-碳醇类如E-2-hexen-l-ol和E-3-hexen-l-ol导致最高的电位反应,而pentenol、3-pentanone与空白对照间并无明显差异。在3种或4种挥发性化合物的混合物中,没有含pentenol的组合总是引起较高的电位。因此,该项研究证明pentenol和3-pentanone在这种多食性黑蝗的嗅觉定位中所起的作用不明显。另外,结合触角电位的数据资料,作者讨论了寄主植物挥发性化合物在该种蝗虫定位和选择寄主植物方面的作用。     

THE GOLGI APPARATUS IN NEURONS AND EPITHELIAL CELLS OF THE COMMON LIMPET PATELLA VULGATA

1. In view of widely diverse views held about the identity and structure of the Golgi apparatus in neurons of Mollusca, particularly gastropods, a study has been made on neurons of the common limpet, Patella vulgata, both by light and electron microscopy. A report is given also of observations made on epithelial cells of Patella by electron microscopy. 2. As revealed by Kolatchev's method, the Golgi apparatus in neurons consists basically of black filaments lying to one side of the nucleus. The filaments generally anastomose to form networks of various complexity. Rarely some cells contain only discrete filaments. Associated with some of the filaments is a weakly osmiophilic substance identified as archoplasm. Kolatchev's method also revealed spheroidal bodies (neutral red bodies, "lipochondria," etc.). 3. It has not been possible to demonstrate the Golgi apparatus using either iron-haematoxylin or Sudan black. 4. Examination of Kolatchev's preparations by electron microscopy has revealed that some of the Golgi filaments consist of chromophilic and chromophobic components. The chromophilic component consists of dense lamellae. 5. After fixation in buffered osmium tetroxide solution and examination by electron microscopy, it has been concluded that (a) the chromophilic component of the Golgi apparatus corresponds to a system of paired membranes (which usually enclose an inner dense substance), (b) the chromophobic component corresponds to a substance lying within small dilations of the paired membrane, and (c) the archoplasm corresponds to numerous small vesicles. 6. The paired membranes branch, anastomose, and can often be traced back to a common source. They are interpreted as lamelliform folds, and occasionally tubular processes, of essentially a single Golgi membrane. In cells containing a Golgi network it is suggested that the membrane extends through the whole of the apparatus in such a way that the substance it encloses may be regarded as being in a continuous phase. 7. Epithelial cells of Patella contain a juxtanuclear Golgi apparatus with an ultrastructure similar to that described for neurons.

PERMANGANATE FIXATION OF THE GOLGI COMPLEX AND OTHER CYTOPLASMIC STRUCTURES OF MAMMALIAN TESTES

Observations on the fine structure of KMnO₄-fixed testes of small mammals (guinea pig, rat, and mouse) reveal certain morphological differences between the spermatogenic and Sertoli cells which have not been demonstrated in the same tissue fixed with OsO₄. Aggregates of minute circular profiles, much smaller than the spherical Golgi vesicles, are described in close association with the Golgi complex of developing spermatids. Groups of dense flattened vesicles, individually surrounded by a membrane of different dimensions than that which bounds most of the other cell organelles, appear dispersed within the cytoplasm of some spermatogenic cells. Flattened vesicles of greater density than those belonging to the Golgi complex are reported confined to the inner Golgi zone of developing guinea pig spermatids between the Golgi cisternae and the head cap. The profiles of endoplasmic reticulum within spermatocytes appear shorter, wider, and more tortuous than those of Sertoli cells. Minute cytoplasmic particles approximately 300 A in diameter and of high electron opacity appear randomly disposed in some Sertoli cells. Groups of irregular-shaped ovoid bodies within the developing spermatids are described as resembling portions of cytoplasm from closely adjacent spermatids. Interpretation is presented regarding the fine structure of KMnO₄-fixed testes in view of what has already been reported for mammalian testes fixed in OsO₄.

ORIGIN, DEVELOPMENT, AND NATURE OF INTRANUCLEAR RODLETS AND ASSOCIATED BODIES IN CHICKEN SYMPATHETIC NEURONS

Correlative data are presented here on the developmental history, dynamics, histochemistry, and fine structure of intranuclear rodlets in chicken sympathetic neurons from in vivo material and long-term organized tissue cultures. The rodlets consist of bundles of ~70 ± 10 A proteinaceous filaments closely associated with ~0.4–0.8 µ spheroidal, granulofibrillar (gf) bodies of a related nature. These bodies are already present in the developing embryo a week or more in advance of the rodlets. In early formative stages rodlets consist of small clusters of aligned filaments contiguous with the gf-bodies. As neuronal differentiation progresses these filaments increase in number and become organized into well-ordered polyhedral arrays. Time-lapse cinemicrography reveals transient changes in rodlet contour associated with intrinsic factors, changes in form and position of the nucleolus with respect to the rodlet, and activity of the gf-bodies. With the electron microscope filaments may be seen extending between the nucleolus, gf-bodies, and rodlets; nucleoli display circumscribed regions with fine structural features and staining reactions reminiscent of those of gf-bodies, We suggest that the latter may be derivatives of the nucleolus and that the two may act together in the assemblage and functional dynamics of the rodlet. The egress of rodlet filaments into the cytoplasm raises the possibility that these might represent a source of the cell's filamentous constituents.
