ULTRASTRUCTURAL CHANGES ASSOCIATED WITH UTILIZATION OF METABOLITE RESERVES AND TRICHOME DIFFERENTIATION IN THE PROTOCORM OF VANDA

Certain aspects of protocorm development in Vanda were examined ultrastructurally. The parenchymal cells of the protocorm accumulate substantial quantities of lipid, protein, and carbohydrate reserves which disappear gradually with the senescence of the parenchymatous region. The proteinaceous reserves appear initially as discrete bodies which become intimately associated with clusters of small tubules. The tubules eventually disperse throughout the cytoplasm and disappear following depletion of the protein bodies. The lipid reserves also appear as discrete bodies and are associated with an electron dense, laminated inclusion which appears to increase in size with the disappearance of the lipid bodies. While plastids in the meristematic cells differentiate a well-developed thylakoid system and contain little starch, those of the parenchymal cells contain large starch grains and numerous osmiophilic droplets and develop meager thylakoid systems. Membrane-bound crystalline structures of hexagonal and rhomboid cross section occur frequently in the cytoplasm of senescent parenchyma cells. Trichome initials, which differentiate from the epidermis, contain few conventional organelles and exhibit numerous membrane-bound structures containing many small crystalline inclusions. Numerous vesicles accumulate at the tips of the trichomes in spaces between the cell wall and the plasmalemma.     

Structural Changes During the in vitro Germination of Vanilla planifolia (Orchidaceae)

A study is reported of histogenesis and organogenesis duringthe processes leading up to seedling formation in cultures ofVanilla planifolia. Prior to germination, all cells of the embryoincreased in size rupturing the seed coat and initiating theprotocorm stage. The cells of the protocorm were heavily ladenwith starch grains. Although all of the cells of the matureembryo were heavily laden with protein bodies, these were confinedto the terminal cell descendents on emergence of the embryofrom the seed coat, and they disappeared during differentiationof the meristem, indicating that some reserves were mobilizedand utilized during germination. The terminal locus of embryonal axis did not differentiate intoa cotyledon and epicotyl as in other angiosperm embryos butformed a thick meristematic layer. Bipolar differentiation withinthe meristem produced the shoot, and after a few leaves hadbeen formed, the first root differentiated endogenously fromthe base of the meristem. Subsequent roots, however, appearedto originate more superficially. The chain of events appearsto be quite unique to Vanilla amongst the angiosperms.

Morphogenesis of the protocorm ofCypripedium acaule (Orchidaceae)

The nature of the protocorm of theOrchidaceae has fascinated morphologists for more than a century. In the present study, the development of the protocorm was followed using in vitro germination of seeds on a culture medium containing sugar, but without a symbiont. Inside the seed, the embryo consists of about a hundred cells. In the embryo, cells are arranged along a longitudinal axis according to size; these cells contain protein and lipid reserve material. In the first stages of seedling development, the embryo is transformed into a protocorm and meristematic tissue becomes organized into a meristematic dome (promeristem) at the anterior pole. This meristematic dome will give rise to a scale and the apex of the seedling. At first, the apex and the scale leaf develop synchronously. The development of the root always follows that of the apex. The study of the development of the seed ofCypripedium acaule showed that the protocorm is a distinct morphological system with respect to the rest of the cormus. The protocorm may be interpreted as an extension of the proembryonic stage.     

Developmental changes in the subcellular structure of the seeds of Atropa belladonna

Subcellular changes in the embryo and endosperm of Atropa belladonna were studied at four developmental stages. The endosperm cells turn to storage cells much earlier than those of the embryo, which matures later. Cells of the cotyledon and radicle are very similar in structure. The young cells contain large osmiophilic spherosomes. The cytoplasm is filled with ribosomes but dictyosomes are very rare. Some proplastids, containing starch, and mitochondria are present in the early developmental stages but do not occur in the dormant cells. During ripening, the vacuoles of the endosperm cells and embryo develop into protein bodies. They become filled with protein material without any recognisable transport mechanism. Protein bodies have several electron-translucent globoid cavities and the protein mass contains a roundish or crystalline body. This body does not stain with potassium iodide but with periodic acid Schiff-reagent and protein stains, indicating that it contains glycoproteins. The embryo and endosperm cells of ripe Atropa seeds are very similar and filled with protein bodies and small spherosomes.     

Ultrastructural studies on the secretory cavities ofCitrus deliciosa ten. I. Early stages of the gland cells differentiation

Summary Secretory cavities ofCitrus deliciosa seem to originate from a pair of meristematic cells (an epidermal cell and a second one placed under it). These cells undergo successive divisions resulting in the formation of a globular/oval gland situated in the parenchyma, and a conical stalk, which joins the gland with the epidermis. The young gland consists of a central group of polyhedral cells ensheathed by layers of radially flattened cells.During the early differentiation stages of the gland cells a close association of cytoplasmic microtubules with various organelles is observed. Plastids increase progressively in number and size and their matrix locally contains tubular networks accompanied by small oil droplets. In peripheral cytoplasm numerous myelin-like lomasomes have been observed. Peripheral cells of the gland are gradually modified from the inner cells following a different developmental pattern. Their walls become thicker and plastids do not contain tubular complexes, but only a few thylakoids partly surrounding the newly formed starch grains.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPOROCARP OF MARSILEA VESTITA

The tissues of the sporocarp of Marsilea vestita undergo profound changes during development. Early in development, the cells of the peripheral tissues, epidermis, hypodermis and layers of the transitional zone between the hypodermis and more internal tissues contain prominent vacuolar bodies. As development proceeds, these vacuolar bodies disappear. Prominent amyloplasts are found only in the guard cells and in the cells of the transitional zone. Later in development the cells of the hypodermis divide periclinally forming two layers which differentiate as macrosclereids. The cells of the outermost layer of the transitional zone differentiate as osteosclereids. Internally, the cells of the sorophore accumulate large amounts of mucilage in the central vacuoles. The peripheral cytoplasm ultimately degenerates leaving just hygroscopic mucilage. The mucilage carbohydrate contains the sugars, rhamnose and arabinose. In the young sorus, only the spore mother cells and the cells of the indusium contain amyloplasts. By the time of meiosis, there is a massive accumulation of starch in the receptacle, stalk and jacket but not in the tapetum of the sporangia. Late in development, the starch disappears and the mega- and microspores become coated with carbohydrate.     

SOME ASPECTS OF SIEVE CELL ULTRASTRUCTURE IN PINUS STROBUS

The immature sieve cell of Pinus strobus contains all of the protoplasmic components commonly encountered in young cell types. In addition, it contains slime bodies with distinct double-layered limiting membranes. The mature sieve cell is lined by a narrow layer of cytoplasm consisting of a plasmalemma, one or more layers of anastomosing tubules of endoplasmic reticulum, numerous mitochondria, starch granules and crystal-like bodies. Each mature cell contains a necrotic nucleus. Ribosomes and dictyosomes are lacking. Strands derived ontogenetically from the slime bodies of the immature cell traverse the central cavity and are continuous with those of neighboring sieve cells through the plasmalemma-lined pores of the sieve areas. Sieve-area pores are also traversed by numerous endoplasmic membranes. A membrane was not found separating the parietal layer of cytoplasm from the large central cavity.     

LIGHT AND ELECTRON MICROSCOPIC STUDIES OF THE FUSION CELL IN ASTEROCOLAX GARDNERI SETCH. (RHODOPHYTA,CERAMIALES)12

The fusion cell in Asterocolax gardneri Setch, is a large, multinucleate, irregularly-shaped cell resulting from cytoplasmic fusions of haploid and diploid cells. Subsequent enlargement takes place by incorporating adjacent gonimoblast cells. The resultant cell consists of two parts—a central portion of isolated cytoplasm, surrounded by an electron dense cytoplasmic barrier, and the main component of the fusion cell cytoplasm surrounding the isolated cytoplasm. The fusion cell contains many nuclei, large quantities of floridean starch, endoplasmic reticulum, and vesicles, but few mitochondria, plastids and dictyosomes. The endoplasmic reticulum forms vesicles that apparently secrete large quantities of extracellular mucilage which surrounds the entire carposporophyte. The isolated cytoplasm also is multinucleate but lacks starch and a plasma membrane. Few plastids, ribosomes and mitochondria are found in this cytoplasm. However, numerous endoplasmic reticulum cisternae occur near the cytoplasmic barrier and they appear to secrete material for the barrier. In mature carposporophytes, all organelles in the isolated cytoplasm have degenerated.

Plastids in sieve elements and companion cells of Tilia americana

Summary Contrary to an earlier report, the sieve elements and companion cells of Tilia americana contain plastids. In young sieve elements and companion cells the plastids contain a moderately electronopaque matrix and internal membranes; the latter are very numerous in the plastids of the sieve elements. Plastids of mature sieve elements contain an electron-transparent matrix, apparently fewer internal membranes than the plastids of young elements, and a single starch grain each. The plastids of companion cells undergo little or no structural modification during cellular differentiation, and apparently contain no starch.This research has been supported by the National Science Foundation, grants GB-5950 and GB-8330.     

Structure and development of sieve cells in the primary phloem ofPinus resinosa

Summary The primary phloem consists mostly of sieve cells. Procambial cells and very young sieve cells contain all the components characteristic of young nucleate cells. Increase in wall thickness, which is relatively limited, constitutes the first indication of sieve-cell differentiation. During the period of wall thickening, the plastids develop starch grains and then fibrillar inclusions. Eventually the internal lamellae of the plastids collapse. The plastids do not form crystalline inclusions. As the sieve cell approaches maturity, an extensive network of smooth, tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER) appears and then becomes mostly parietal in distribution. At maturity, large aggregates of this ER occur at the sieve areas. These aggregates are interconnected longitudinally by the parietal network of ER. In addition to the ER, the mature, plasmalemma-lined primary sieve cell contains a degenerate nucleus, with intact nuclear envelope, plastids, and mitochondria. Dictyosomes, ribosomes, and vacuoles are lacking. P-protein is not present at any stage of development.This work was supported by U.S. National Science Foundation grants GB 8330 and GB 31417 to R. F.Evert.     

STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIEVE-ELEMENT PROTOPLAST IN THE HYPOCOTYL OF PINUS RESINOSA

Hypocotyl tissue of Pinus resinosa Ait. was fixed in glutaraldehyde-paraformaldehyde and postfixed in osmium tetroxide for electron microscopy. Although young sieve cells contain all the components characteristic of young, nucleate cells, they can be identified early in their development. Increase in wall thickness occurs early and rapidly. Concurrently, the plastids, which already contain starch granules, form both crystalline and fibrillar inclusions. As the sieve cell approaches maturity, an extensive network of smooth, tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which becomes mostly parietal in distribution, is formed. At maturity, massive aggregates of this ER occur on both sides of sieve areas. These ER aggregates are interconnected with one another longitudinally by the parietal ER. In addition, the mature, plasmalemma-lined sieve cell contains a degenerate nucleus, mitochondria, and intact plastids. Dictyosomes, ribosomes, and vacuolar membranes are lacking. P-protein is not present at any stage of development.     

天麻种子萌发过程与开唇兰小菇的相互作用*

实验表明开唇兰小菇Mycena anoectochila可与天麻Gastrodia elata种子共生促进其萌发形成原球茎。 菌丝自胚柄端的柄状细胞侵入天麻种子原胚,进一步在皮层细胞中扩展,在外皮层细胞中形成发育良好的菌丝结,菌丝完整而有活力; 在内皮层细胞中则被消化,菌丝衰败、扁化。菌丝在原球茎细胞内的分布被限制在原球茎基部的柄状细胞、外皮层细胞和内皮层细胞,菌丝均被电子透明物质包围, 外围环绕有原球茎细胞质膜, 该界面使侵入的菌丝与原球茎细胞质相隔离,也是两共生生物间进行物质交换的所在。上述菌丝侵入至被消化的过程在整个原球茎发育过程中可反复进行。

SOME HISTOCHEMICAL,ULTRASTRUCTURAL, AND NUTRITIONAL ASPECTS OF THE OVULE OF QUERCUS GAMBELII

Histochemical analyses of the ovule of Quercus gambelii show that the major food reserves (starch grains and lipids) are located almost exclusively within the outer integument. Vascular traces are present only within this integument which contains numerous, well-developed plasmodesmata. The inner integument is virtually devoid of any food reserves and has very few plasmodesmata. The ovule has a persistent chalazal extension of residual nucellar cells (called the postament) which projects into the embryo sac. Due to the above information and the fact that the synergids rarely contain starch and no plasmodesmata are present in the walls of any of the cells of the egg apparatus (Mogensen, 1972), it is concluded that the synergids play little or no role in embryo sac nutrition. Rather, it is proposed that the pathway of available food materials in the young ovule is from the outer integument to the chalaza and through the postament into the embryo sac.     

Seed structure and germination in Cuscuta pedicellata with some notes on C. campestris

Dry seeds of Cuscuta pedicellata have a deeply pitted surface due to invaginated epidermal cell walls. After water uptake these walls bulge outwards and the seed surface becomes papillose. The seed coat consists of an epidermis, two palissade cell layers, and a multiple layer of parenchyma cells. The epidermis contains starch and mucilage, the parenchyma cells are compressed but some contain starch. The endosperm consists of starch–filled cells, but has a peripheral aleuron layer. The endosperm cell walls are gelatinous. The variable structure of the seed coat epidermis is believed to function in wind dispersal and rapid water uptake. Seed dormancy is common in the genus, but does apparently not occur in C. pedicellata.
