云南松小孢子发生的超微结构研究

云南松(Pinus yunnanensis Fr.)小孢子囊发育早期,原生质体发生收缩、同时形成胼胝质壁。小孢子母细胞减数分裂前互相分离,并被胼胝质壁包围。在壁上有约0.2微米的小孔。四分体小孢子形成后,核被膜及高尔基体显得非常地活跃,他们可能与外壁的沉积有关。这个现象在早期四分体阶段出现。内壁的形成是在自由小孢子时期,开始高尔基体和核被膜仍较活跃,但随之下降。内质网和线粒体增多,许多来自内质网的泡囊通过质膜被排放到内壁中去。乌氏体与花粉外壁之间观察到了孢粉素带。

宁夏枸杞雄性不育花药中胼胝质动态变化特征

胼胝质是以β-1,3键结合的葡聚糖,其形成的壁结构只发生在特定组织。当其提前或延迟降解时,会导致花粉败育,明确胼胝质的沉积动态规律对探究雄性不育机理及利用枸杞雄性不育具有重要意义。本研究以宁夏枸杞(Lycium barbarum L.)可育系‘宁杞1号’与不育系‘宁杞5号’为实验材料,采用半薄切片技术,并利用苯胺蓝和标记胼胝质的方法和高碘酸-希夫反应(Periodic Acid-Schiff stain, PAS),在光学显微镜下对比观察了不同发育时期的宁夏枸杞可育和不育花药中胼胝质的动态变化特征,分析了胼胝质对不育系花药败育的影响。结果显示,小孢子母细胞时期,可育和不育花药小孢子母细胞外沉积形成厚薄不均的胼胝质壁,荧光反应显示减数分裂形成四分体后,胼胝质壁逐渐增厚。随着花药的进一步发育,可育花药中四分体外胼胝质壁逐渐解体、消失,释放出四个小孢子。而不育花药中四分体外的胼胝质壁不断增厚,并没有出现降解迹象,直至开花,药室中小孢子仍以四分体状态存在,已经变形、解体的四分体外仍包裹着胼胝质壁。胼胝质降解异常是导致宁夏枸杞花粉败育的结构原因。本文进一步对不育系四分体胼胝质壁未发生降解的原因进行了分析,为解析宁夏枸杞雄性不育机理提供理论基础。     

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(Larixprincipis-rupprechtiiMayr)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。

Embryo and Endosperm Function and Failure inSolanumSpecies and Hybrids

Although the importance of the endosperm as a food store inmany angiosperm seeds is well known, its significance duringearly embryogenesis has been neglected. In many interspecifichybrids, and in some other situations, embryos do not developfully and abort. It has often been stated that this is causedby the endosperm failing to conduct sufficient nutrients tothe embryo, but seldom has it been suggested that the endospermactively controls most of the early stages of morphogenesisof the embryo. Information gleaned from a broad survey of theliterature, combined with additional evidence presented here,obtained fromSolanum incanumand interspecific hybrids, indicatethat the endosperm is dynamic and very active in regulatingearly embryo development. This requires highly integrated geneticcontrol of rapidly changing metabolism in the endosperm. Ininterspecific hybrids, lack of coordination may cause unbalancedproduction of growth regulating substances by the endospermand hence abortion of the embryo, or even unregulated productionof nucleases and proteases resulting firstly in autolysis ofthe endosperm and then digestion of the embryo. The endospermmay thus serve to detect inappropriate hybridization of speciesor ploidy levels and so prevent waste of resources by producingseeds that would result in sterile hybrids or unthrifty subsequentgenerations.

HIFs and tumors--causes and consequences

For most organisms oxygen is essential fo life. When oxygen levels drop below those required to maintain the minimum physiological oxygen requirement of an organism or tissue it is termed hypoxia. To counter act possible deleterious effects of such a state, an immediate molecular response is initiated causing adaptation responses aimed at cell survival. This response is mediated by the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1), which is a heterodimer consisting of an alpha- and a beta-subunit. HIF-1 alpha protein is stabilized under hypoxic conditions and therefore confers selectivity to this response. Hypoxia is characteristic of tumors, mainly because of impaired blood supply resulting from abnormal growth. Over the past few years enormous progress has been made in the attempt to understand how the activation of the physiological response to hypoxia influences neoplastic growth. In this review some aspects of HIF-1 pathway activation in tumors and the consequences for pathophysiology and treatment of neoplasia are discussed.

Morphological and constitutional features and self-esteem in children and adolescents

Studies of human constitution and mental features are traditionally among the main concepts of anthropological research. In this research, we attempted to discover connections between morphological and constitutional features and self-esteem in children and adolescents. Such a connection was discovered in some studied age groups. The obtained results could serve as a basis for further studies in this field.
