烟草小孢子母细胞减数分裂过程中微管分布变化

应用间接免疫荧光标记技术和激光共聚焦扫描显微镜成像技术观察了烟草小孢子母细胞减数分裂过程中微管的分布变化。在减数分裂前期,小孢子母细胞中的微管较短,随机分散在细胞质中。在减数分裂中期,细胞质中微管形成纺锤体,控制染色体的分布。进入减数分裂I后期,部分纺锤体微管将两组染色体拉向两级。在减数分裂Ⅱ中期,细胞中的微管又形成两个纺锤体。在减数分裂Ⅱ后期,纺锤体微管解聚为微管蛋白分散在细胞质中。胞质分裂发生在四个细胞核形成之后,通过细胞核之间的质膜向内缢缩分隔四个细胞核,产生四个小孢子。     

New biphenyl derivatives from the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum and their cytotoxic activity

With the aim of searching for new bioactive metabolites from medicinal plants, three new biphenyls, tababiphenyls G–I (1–3), together with four known ones (4–7) were isolated from the leaves of Nicotiana tabacum. Their structures were elucidated by extensive NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. All the isolated compounds were evaluated for their cytotoxicity against NB4, A549, SHSY5Y, PC3, and MCF7 human cancer cell lines, and some of them showed moderate inhibitory activities against several human tumor cell lines with IC₅₀ values ranging from 2.8 to 9.4 μM.     

烟草细胞乙醇分解代谢能力的离体调控(英文)

报告了一些重要因子对培养在含有乙醇的培养基上的烟草细胞的乙醇分解代谢能力（ＥＣＡ）的调控效果。在供试的５种生长素和２种细胞分裂素中,ＩＢＡ４ｍｇ／Ｌ和Ｋｔ０．０５ｍｇ／Ｌ最有利于促进ＥＣＡ,而ＮＡＡ２ｍｇ／Ｌ和Ｋｔ０．０２５ｍｇ／Ｌ则最有利于支持处在乙醇胁迫下的细胞的增殖。实验中还发现提高维生素浓度有利于细胞的ＥＣＡ。通过将细胞从低乙醇浓度的培养基转移到较高乙醇浓度的培养基中,能够诱导细胞耐受更高浓度的乙醇并增强细胞的ＥＣＡ。研究结果可以应用于制备适合分离乙醇分解代谢途径中的酶的烟草细胞材料。

烟草柱头和花柱中阿拉伯半乳糖蛋白的定位

通过Western印迹法、免疫组织化学和超微细胞化学等技术,研究了烟草柱头和花柱中阿拉伯半乳糖蛋白（arabinogalactan-proteins,AGPs）的分布。结果表明烟草柱头和花柱组织中含有大量的AGPs,主要分布于柱头表皮细胞的细胞质和分泌层细胞的胞外基质中,且授粉前后AGPs的分布情况差异不明显;而花柱中的AGPs主要分布于表皮细胞的外层细胞壁、维管组织周围细胞的细胞质及引导组织的胞外基质中;花粉管通过后,引导组织胞外基质中AGPs减少,而花粉管细胞质和花粉管壁中检测到大量AGPs。     

Intergeneric Somatic Hybrid Plants of Nicotiana tabacum L. and Lycium barbarum L. by Protoplast Electrofusion

Mesophyll protoplasts of Nicotiana tabacum L. and protoplasts from cell suspension of Lycium barbarum L. were heterofused by electrofusion with a frequency of ca. 4%--5%. One hundred cell lines were selected at random identified by isozyme analysis with peroxidase and superoxide dismatase, and the differences from their parent were found. Results indicated that 9 cell lines expressed enzymatic bands characteristic of both parents. Five of the 9 cell lines were highly morphogenic and regenerated numerous young shoots that manifested morphological traits specific to both parents. However, these shoots never grew up or regenerate roots. Esterase analysis of leaf material from the regenerants of 5 morphogenic hybrid cell lines demonstrated that two of them (NL4 and NL8) expressed an unique hybrid band which were not shown in either parents. Cytological observation on parental and NL4 hybrid cell lines revealed that the somatic chromosome number of NL4 varied from 58 to 80, significantly higher than that of either parents. Ribosomal DNA analysis of NL4 and NL8 showed that NL8 covered all fragments of both parents: NL4 did not have the fragments characteristic of Lyciurn barbarurn L. Both hybrids had new fragments, suggestive of intermolecular recombination of rDNAs of the parents. Four normal plants morphologically similar to tabacco parent were obtained from hybrid cell hne NL4, which survived after being transferred to soil. Cytological analysis of root-tips from one of the plants indicated that it has ca. 58 chromosomes. This paper also discussed the problems on the production frequency and incompatibility of somatic cell hybrid.     

Illustration of the Genetic Differences in Ozone Sensitivity Between the Varieties Nicotiana tabacum Bel W3 and Bel B Using Various Plant Systems

The ozone-sensitive tobacco variety Bel W₃ was compared with the tolerant cv. Bel B using amphidiploid and amphihaploid genotypes of both. In search of the first genotypical differences, their reaction to acute ozone treatments was investigated with systems of decreasing degree of complexity: whole plants, grown under field, greenhouse and sterile conditions, excised tissues, calli, CCP, MCP and subcellular reactions. It was common to all systems that a fumigation, which clearly exceeds the threshold of the most tolerant material, led to equal reactions in all genotypes in respect of visible injury and membrane leaching. With whole plants and leaf discs growing conditions were found to influence the ozone threshold more than the genotype. Because the most resistant field-grown plants vary widely in their reaction, only sterile or greenhouse grown genotypes were compared. With the exception of whole sterile plants (no genotypical threshold differences), amphihaploids were more susceptible to ozone than their respective amphidiploids as to threshold and sensitivity spectra in all systems investigated. Higher ozone thresholds were detected for Bel B in all systems with one exception: MCP exhibited a lower threshold but also a lower degree of damage in the first buffer range of the sensitivity spectrum than those of Bel W₃. Post-fumigation starch accumulation in mesophyll chloroplasts was the most prominent subcellular ozone reaction.     

Isolation of the male germ unit: organization and function in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.)

Sperm cells are released from pollen tubes of tobacco as linked cells, associated with the vegetative nucleus in an assemblage known as the male germ unit (MGU). Using light microscopy, the MGU assemblage appears to be ensheathed by cytoplasmic material of the pollen tube, which may stabilize their association. Following their release, the shape of the sperm cells and vegetative nucleus changes from an ellipsoidal to a more spheroidal morphology. When most of the cytoplasmic material is dispersed, a boundary remains around the two sperm cells. Using scanning electron microscopy, the cytoplasmic material surrounding the MGU appears filamentous, sometimes twisted and rope-like. Based on these observations, the function of the MGU of tobacco is discussed. Received: 23 February 1998 / Revision received: 21 May 1998 / Accepted: 1 June 1998     

烟草花发育过程中花药和花粉IAA分布规律的研究

以烟草（Nicotiana tabacumL.）花药为材料,通过4’,6-二脒基-2-苯基吲哚（DAPI）染色详细观察花粉发育过程,获得了花药发育时期与花蕾大小的对应关系;通过吲哚乙酸（IAA）单克隆抗体、免疫组织化学技术以及DR5∶∶GUS转基因植株的GUS活性对花药和花粉发育过程中生长素的分布规律进行了研究。免疫酶标记结果表明,在不同的花药发育时期IAA水平呈现出明显的差别。小孢子母细胞时期,IAA在整个花药中均有分布,并且在小孢子母细胞发育晚期,IAA信号集中在小孢子母细胞的细胞核中;随着小孢子母细胞减数分裂后形成四分体,IAA信号逐渐减弱,四分体中几乎没有信号;单核花粉期的花药中IAA信号进一步减弱,仅存在于花药壁中;待小孢子继续发育为成熟二核期时,花粉和整个花药组织中均出现较强的IAA信号。GUS活性检测结果表明,烟草DR5∶∶GUS转基因植株中花药和花粉粒的GUS信号与IAA免疫酶定位结果基本一致。总的来说,IAA在烟草花药和花粉中的积累呈现出由强到弱、再由弱到强的分布规律,暗示IAA在被子植物花药和花粉发育过程中可能起着较为重要的作用。     

Accumulation of aluminium in the cell wall pectin in cultured tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) cells treated with a combination of aluminium and iron

In nutrient medium, aluminium (Al) accumulation in tobacco cells occurs only in the presence of ferrous ion [Fe(II)]. The localization of Al was examined to elucidate a mechanism of Al accumulation. After the digestion of Al-treated cells with cellulase and pectolyase together, the resulting spheroplasts contained as much Al as the intact cells. However, the cell walls isolated from Al-treated cells also contained as much Al as the intact cells. Comparison of sugar and Al contents in polysaccharide components extracted chemically from cell walls isolated from intact cells and spheroplasts revealed that the enzymes digested most of the cellulose and hemicellulose, but only half of the pectin, and that Al mainly existed in the pectin remaining in the spheroplasts. Gel-permeation chromatography of the pectin fraction (NH₄-oxalate extract) from the cell walls of the intact cells indicated that Al was associated with small polysaccharides of approximately 3–7 kDa. These results suggest that a minor part of pectin is a major site of Al accumulation. The content of cell wall pectin increased during Al treatment in nutrient medium. Taken together, we hypothesize that Al may bind to the pectin newly produced during Al treatment.     

烟草株高变异体的茎尖中内源激素含量变化及其对外源激素的响应

烟草矮秆基因型“农大202’的茎生长过程中茎尖中内源赤霉素（GA3）、生长素（IAA）含量始终低于中、高秆基因型,其内源脱落酸（ABA）和玉米素（ZR）含量则相对较高。喷施外源激素GA,和IAA的结果表明,GA,可调节矮秆基因型茎尖中各内源激素的含量,与正常株高基因型‘K326’的各激素含量相接近,从而促进茎生长,而IAA的作用较小。

An in vitro molecular study of the Nicotiana tabacum L. genome in the presence or absence of the herbicide atrazine

  Nicotiana tabacum L. somaclones both selected and not selected for tolerance to the triazine herbicide atrazine were used to compare tissue culture-induced variability in the presence or absence of stress. Two types of repeated sequences (rDNA and a randomly cloned, anonymous sequence) were analysed both qualitatively and quantitatively, and overall genome variation was assessed by RAPDs. Multiplicity differences were found for the two sequences both between the tolerant and susceptible group and within each group with respect to leaf DNA, but no qualitative differences were detected with either RFLPs or RAPDs. Moreover, we investigated whether stressinduced variation in the atrazine target gene, the chloroplast psbA gene, was responsible for herbicide tolerance by analysing two possible resistance mechanisms: the presence of a specific point mutation in the gene and its amplification and/or increased expression. Some somaclones were shown to be a mosaic for psbA gene mutation, but the number of cells or plastid genomes involved seemed too low to account for tolerance in the whole tissue. Atrazine tolerance could then be due to an increase in the number of plastids/plastid genomes or/and to a permanent response to respiration inhibition whose basis is, up to now, unknown.

Differential sensitivity of CG and CCG DNA sequences to ethionine-induced hypomethylation of the Nicotiana tabacum genome.

Plant DNA is distinguished from the DNA of all other organisms by its high content of 5-methylcytosine (5mC). 5mC levels may amount to 30% of total cytosines, distributed between the sequences CG and CXG. The results presented here show that the methylation status of CXG sequences could be influenced by culturing tobacco tissues on subtoxic concentrations of ethionine. The hypomethylating effect of ethionine, evaluated as the capability of MspI or HpaII to cleave the DNA, proved to be rather specific for CCG and differed from that or 5-azacytidine which did not discriminate between CG and CXG sequences.

In vitro double fertilization in Nicotiana tabacum (L.): polygamy compared with selected single pair somatic protoplast and chloroplast fusions

In vitro polygamy was studied mainly by using isolated sperm and central cells of tobacco in order to elucidate the mechanism that might be involved in preventing in vivo polygamy. In 17.5% 4000 M.W. polyethylene glycol, only when two sperm cells were made close enough to each other and adhered to a female cell simultaneously was polygamy possible. If one sperm cell fused with the egg or central cell, within 30 min another sperm cell could not fuse with the same egg or central cell. Similar phenomena were found in selected single somatic cell fusion. When more than two protoplasts adhered to each other simultaneously, fusion was always successful; after two protoplasts fused, within 30 min the fusion products could not fuse with another protoplast under the same conditions. This comparative study revealed this characteristic to be shared by both sexual and somatic cell fusion. However, after cytoplasm reorganization was complete in the fusion product, it was possible for the fusion product to fuse with the third protoplast. This indicates that the obstruction to additional fusion was present only during a certain period after the preceding fusion under certain condition. The possible reason for the effect is discussed.

In vitro double fertilization in Nicotiana tabacum (L.): the role of cell volume in cell fusion

The role of cell volume in regulating cell fusion was investigated by in vitro fertilization to elucidate mechanisms involved in double fertilization. The results revealed that in our model gamete fusion was more efficient than the fusion of somatic cells under the same conditions. The fusion of selected mesophyll protoplasts of different sizes and their fusion with chloroplasts demonstrated that cell volume ratio played a role in this process: as the ratio increased, fusion was more efficient and faster. When one of the cells was as small as a sperm, the formation of a round fusion product was faster. This might explain why gamete fusion was highly efficient in all in vitro germ cell fusion systems. This finding may also explain why sperm evolved as small cells. The results reported here will be useful for interpreting and evaluating data of in vitro fertilization experiments and for distinguishing gamete-specific characters.
