Na2CO3胁迫对星星草叶肉细胞超微结构的影响

利用透射电镜技术对Na2CO3胁迫下星星草叶肉细胞超微结构进行了观察。结果表明：未胁迫的叶肉细胞排列疏松,各种细胞器结构完整,叶绿体含少量淀粉粒和脂质球。轻度盐胁迫（2g/L,4g／LNa2CO3）对叶肉细胞超微结构影响较小。中度盐胁迫（6g／L,8g／L Na2CO3）引起叶肉细胞超微结构的变化,叶绿体类囊体肿胀,基粒紊乱,不含淀粉粒,脂质球数量增加,叶绿体由原来的梭形或椭球形变成圆球状;部分线粒体嵴消失,出现晶体结构;中央大液泡破裂;核逐渐降解。高度盐胁迫（10g／L,12g／LNa2CO3）下,叶绿体片层结构消失,脂质球数量增加,体积变大,被大量的膜片层所包围,叶绿体内、外膜消失,叶肉细胞中看不到叶绿体的存在;膜片层包围线粒体;叶肉细胞中可见大量的泡状结构和膜片层,叶肉细胞死亡。上述结果表明,细胞器特别是叶绿体膜结构的破坏与盐胁迫叶肉细胞最终死亡密切相关。

从温敏核不育系水稻'810S'中筛选出一个生长发育正常的淡黄绿叶色自然突变株'标810S',其叶绿素含量约为'810S'的50%,光合速率比野生型高.以'810S'为对照,对'标810S'进行叶片形态、叶肉细胞和叶绿体超微结构以及叶绿体蛋白研究.结果显示,'标810S'的叶长、宽和面积与'810S'相似;叶肉细胞和叶绿体发育稍迟缓,片层结构减少;叶绿体蛋白约为对照的55%,并初步鉴定出与光合作用相关的差异蛋白点13个,其中4个缺失蛋白,包括1个RuBP大亚基缺失.推测该水稻突变体叶色变浅与叶绿体基粒片层减少有关.     

甜菊叶愈伤组织诱导过程中叶绿体的超微结构变化

观察了甜菊(Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni)叶外植体愈伤组织诱导过程中叶绿体的超微结构变化。结果表明,当叶外植体转移到培养基上培养后,叶绿体的片层结构逐渐退化。在叶绿体发生退化的过程中伴有叶绿体出芽和原质体的形成。推测新产生的原质体来自叶绿体产生的芽状体。而叶绿体本身最后完全解体消失。叶绿体超微结构的这种变化与高度液泡化的叶肉细胞脱分化至分生状态是平行的。随着培养的进行,分生状态的细胞发生液泡化变为薄壁细胞时,在愈伤组织表层的细胞中,质体重新形成片层结构,而内部细胞的质体则充满淀粉粒。

Hardening in vitro and morpho-physiological changes in the leaves during acclimatization of micropropagated plants of Leucaena leucocephala (LAM.) de wit

A protocol for hardening of microprogated plants of Leucaena leucocephala in vitro is described which ensures up to 85% survival of plants following their transfer to pots or garden beds. Morpho-physiological studies confirm the earlier reports that cultured plants have poor control of water loss. Their leaves had very little epicuticular wax and lacked starch grains in their cells. Interestingly, the leaf cells at the shoot multiplication stage appeared normal. Reduction in their size and abnormality of shape appeared first during the rooting stage in vitro. During hardening the appearance of starch grains preceded the normalization of mesophyll cells.     

Light and electron microscopy of virus inclusions inAmaranthus lividus cells

Summary Amaranthus plants infected with a virus of rod-shaped particles showed under the light microscope intracytoplasmic amorphous and crystalline inclusions.The submicroscopic organization of mesophyll cells from infectedAmaranthus leaves by electron microscopy is described. Besides big crystalline inclusions, long dark inclusions correspondent to needle-like inclusions observed by light microscopy are definable in the cytoplasm. The amorphous inclusion bodies were formed by an overgrown protrusion of vacuolate cytoplasm containing virus particles, long very dark stained inclusions forming dense bands and rings, normal elements of the cytoplasm such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum and ribosomes, and some spherosomes. Inclusions and virus particles were not found in chloroplasts, mitochondria or nuclei of infected cells.     

中国芸香科植物叶分泌囊比较解剖学研究

蚕豆叶片细胞中IAA的胶体金免疫电镜定位

利用胶体金免疫电镜技术对蚕豆(Vicia faba L.)叶片细胞中的IAA定位进行了研究。幼嫩叶片的叶肉细胞中金颗粒主要分布在细胞核和叶绿体中,细胞质及细胞壁也有金颗粒标记。成熟叶片的叶肉细胞中金颗粒主要分布在叶绿体和细胞质,细胞壁也有少量金颗粒标记,液泡中没有发现金颗粒标记。成熟叶片小叶脉的韧皮细胞发现有大量的金颗粒标记,金颗粒主要标记在传递细胞的细胞壁中。小叶脉的维管束鞘细胞中也有很多的金颗粒标记,金颗粒主要分布在叶绿体、细胞质及细胞壁中。幼嫩叶片组织不进行IAA的固定或用正常兔IgG代替IAA抗体染色的对照,很难发现金颗粒标记。对IAA在组织及亚细胞中的定位及其生理意义进行了讨论。     

Ultrastructural and Morphological Characteristics of Cultivated Wheat Growing on Copper-Polluted Fields

A cultivated Greek variety of wheat (Triticum aestivum L. cv. Vergina) growing in fields naturally polluted by outcrops of copper ores was investigated. Wheat plants show a negative response to increasing quantities of soil copper, including reduced growth and chlorosis. Copper toxicity was demonstrated in the laboratory by a rooting test; the frequency of mitoses declines sharply with increasing copper concentration in the nutrient solution. The mesophyll cells of polluted plants display a circular shape (in transverse sections) with a few chloroplasts parietally distributed, in contrast with the elongate or pleomorphic shape of control leaves that contain numerous chloroplasts crowded at the cell periphery. Ultrastructurally, the chloroplasts of polluted plants contain a poorly developed internal membrane system consisting of thylakoids arranged parallel to each other with only a few, rudimentary grana. In addition, a number of statistically significant differences were found, including the number of starch grains and plastoglobuli, chloroplast surface area, volume fraction of starch grains and, most important, the volume fraction of the internal membrane system. All ultrastructural changes are attributed to the toxic effect of high concentrations of soil copper.     

DEVELOPMENT OF THE DIMORPHIC CHLOROPLASTS OF SUGAR CANE

The vascular bundle sheath cells of sugar cane contain starch-storing chloroplasts lacking grana, whereas the adjacent mesophyll cells contain chloroplasts which store very little starch and possess abundant grana. This study was undertaken to determine the ontogeny of these dimorphic chloroplasts. Proplastids in the two cell types in the meristematic region of light-grown leaves cannot be distinguished morphologically. Bundle sheath cell chloroplasts in tissue with 50% of its future chlorophyll possess grana consisting of 2-8 thylakoids/granum. Mesophyll cell chloroplasts of the same age have better developed grana and large, well structured prolamellar bodies. A few grana are still present in bundle sheath cell chloroplasts when the leaf tissue has 75% of its eventual chlorophyll, and prolamellar bodies are also found in mesophyll cell chloroplasts at this stage. The two cell layers in mature dark-grown leaves contain morphologically distinct etio-plasts. The response of these two plastids to light treatment also differs. Plastids in tissue treated with light for short periods exhibit protrusions resembling mitochondria. Plastids in bundle sheath cells of dark-grown leaves do not go through a grana-forming stage. It is concluded that the structure of the specialized chloroplasts in bundle sheath cells of sugar cane is a result of reduction, and that the development of chloroplast dimorphism is related in some way to leaf cell differentiation.     

Effects of Simulated Acid Rain on Anatomy of Primary Leaves of Phaseolus Vulgaris

Ten-days-old bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L., cv. Cheren Starozagorski) were treated with simulated acid rain (pH 2.4, 2.2, 2.0 and 1.8). Anatomical changes in the primary leaves were studied 3, 48 and 168 h after a single treatment. This treatment induced: 1) change in the shape of palisade cells, contraction of their contact surfaces and expansion of spongy cells (pH 1.8, 3 h after treatment); 2) reduction of symplast connections among palisade cells and of apoplast in the spongy mesophyll (pH 1.8, 48 h after treatment); 3) destruction of adaxial epidermis and portions of palisade mesophyll, plasmolysis of spongy cells (pH 1.8, 168 h after treatment); 4) full destruction of mesophyll (pH 2.4, 2.2, 2.0 and 1.8, 168 h after treatment). The structure of abaxial epidermis was more stable than that of the adaxial one. With respect to anatomical parameters the studied species could be considered as comparatively resistant to acid rain.     

Stomatal and Mesophyll Limitations of Photosynthesis in Phosphate Deficient Sunflower, Maize and Wheat Plants

The effects of phosphate deficiency on the composition and photosyntheticCO₂ assimilation rates of fully expanded leaves of sunflower,maize and wheat plants are described. The regulation of photosynthesisby stomatal and mesophyll characteristics of leaves of differentphosphate status is analysed and related to structure. Phosphatedeficient leaves had small concentrations of inorganic phosphate,Pi, in the tissue water. Rate of photosynthesis in leaves andstomatal conductance were smaller in plants grown with inadequatephosphate when measured under any given light intensity or CO₂partial pressure. Despite the decrease in stomatal conductance(and without evidence of patchy stomatal closure), the relativestomatal limitation of photosynthesis was similar in the plantsgrown with deficient or abundant phosphate. However, the mesophyllcapacity for photosynthesis was greatly limited by phosphatedeficiency. Leaves deficient in phosphate had larger numbersof small size cells per unit leaf area than leaves with adequatephosphate. The total soluble protein content of leaves decreasedwith phosphate deficiency in all three species; however, theleaf chlorophyll content was decreased only in sunflower andmaize and not in wheat. These results suggest that stomatalconductance did not restrict the CO₂ diffusion rate, ratherthe metabolism of the mesophyll was the limiting factor. Thisis shown by poor carboxylation efficiency and decreased apparentquantum yield for CO₂ assimilation, both of which contributedto the increase in relative mesophyll limitation of photosynthesisin phosphate deficient plants. Key words: Apparent quantum yield, carboxylation efficiency, phosphate nutrition, photosynthesis, stomatal and mesophyll limitation
