钙调素对花粉萌发和花粉管生长的效应

牛脑和玉米胚ＣａＭ能显著促进花粉萌发和花粉管生长（图１）,而ＣａＭ抑制剂ＴＦＰ、ＣＰＺ及另外两个专一性更强的抑制剂Ｃｏｍｐｏｕｎｄ４８／８０和Ｗ７均严重抑制甚至阻止花粉的萌发（图２,３）。用对ＣａＭ亲和性较低的Ｗ７同系物Ｗ５,在与Ｗ７同样浓度下,对花粉萌发和花粉管生长无明显影响。此外,Ｗ７对花粉萌发和花粉管生长的抑制效应可被外源ＣａＭ所消除（图４）。在花粉萌发过程中,其内源ＣａＭ含量显著上升,在花粉萌发率接近最大值时,花粉ＣａＭ含量达最高水平（图５）。上述结果表明ＣａＭ对花粉萌发和花粉管生长的调控起重要作用。     

Exocytosis Precedes and Predicts the Increase in Growth in Oscillating Pollen Tubes

We examined exocytosis during oscillatory growth in lily (Lilium formosanum and Lilium longiflorum) and tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) pollen tubes using three markers: (1) changes in cell wall thickness by Nomarski differential interference contrast (DIC), (2) changes in apical cell wall fluorescence in cells stained with propidium iodide (PI), and (3) changes in apical wall fluorescence in cells expressing tobacco pectin methyl esterase fused to green fluorescent protein (PME-GFP). Using PI fluorescence, we quantified oscillatory changes in the amount of wall material from both lily and tobacco pollen tubes. Measurement of wall thickness by DIC was only possible with lily due to limitations of microscope resolution. PME-GFP, a direct marker for exocytosis, only provides information in tobacco because its expression in lily causes growth inhibition and cell death. We show that exocytosis in pollen tubes oscillates and leads the increase in growth rate; the mean phase difference between exocytosis and growth is –98° ± 3° in lily and –124° ± 4° in tobacco. Statistical analyses reveal that the anticipatory increase in wall material predicts, to a high degree, the rate and extent of the subsequent growth surge. Exocytosis emerges as a prime candidate for the initiation and regulation of oscillatory pollen tube growth.

The Involvement of PLC-IP3 Signaling Pathway in Pollen Tube Growth

The effect of phospholipase C (PLC) signaling pathway on lily (Lilium davidii Duch.) pollen tube elongation was examined by means of microinjection. Pollen tube elongation was inhibited by microinjecting antibodies against animal PLCβ1-3 or inositol-1,4,5-triphosphate receptor （IP3R2, 3）, but was not affected by antibodies against animal PLCβ4 or IP3R1. Pollen tube elongation was also stimulated significantly by microinjecting IP3. The results suggest that PLC-IP3 signaling pathway might present in pollen system and be involved in pollen tube growth.

花粉萌发和花粉管生长发育的信号转导

显花植物授粉是一个复杂的发育过程。从花粉落在柱头上开始,经过粘附、识别、水合、萌发,花粉管在花柱内生长,直至到达子房发生双受精作用,整个过程发生在雌、雄两性细胞和组织之间,受到严格的遗传控制和细胞控制。一方面雌雄配子的基因型决定两者是否亲和,另一方面雌雄两性细胞间发生复杂的相互作用,细胞外信号分子是这些过程的主要调控因子。当花粉或花粉管细胞感知外部信号后,必然通过信号转导级联反应,达到控制萌发、调整花粉管生长方向等目的。这一系列动力学的细胞事件,关系到受精的成败。因此研究此过程中的信号及其转换机…

Effect of Growth Regulators and Light on Pollen Germination and Pollen Tube Growth in Pinus roxburghii Sarg

Pine (Pinus roxburghii) pollen grown in suspension cultureswas used to study the effects of growth regulators and lightconditions on germination and pollen tube growth. Indol-3-ylacetic acid, gibberellic acid, ethylene, abscisic acid and cyclicAMP (cAMP) at low concentrations (1–10 mg 1^–1) promotedgermination and tube growth. Addition of 1 and 10 mg 1^–1cAMP to any of the growth regulators had a promotory effect.Pollen tube growth decreased in white light as compared to thedark, and was increased in red light. Far-red light counteractedthe effect of red light. The effect of growth regulators incausing the enhanced tube growth appears to be manifested throughsubstances such as cAMP, and phytochrome seems to be involved.

Transmitting Tissae and Pollen Tube Growth in Sweet Pepper

Fine structural events in the mature stylar transmitting tissue ofsweet pepper (Capsicum frutescens L. var. grossum Bally) have been investigated byelectron microscope with regard to pollen tribe grwoth. The transmitting tissue consists of parenchymatous cells with large intercellular spaces filled with an electron densesubstance. The pollen tubes grow through the intercellular spaces in the intercellular substance. Cells of this tissue are rich in organelles, especially the rough and tubular ER, and numerous lomasomes near the plasma membrane. It is demonstrated that they function as secretory cells. On the other hand, the fact that the transmitting tissue contains many large amyloplastids with several starch grains in the cytoplasm and numerous globular protein bodies in vacuoles, indicates that the transmitting tissue mayhave some nutritive value for the growth of pollen tubes. The results obtained from this observation are in agreement with those of mostspecies reported by other authors and support the conclusion that the transmitting tissue is not a collenchyma tissue and the nature of intercellular substances is essentially same as that of the middle lamella.

Regulation of Cytokinesis by Exocyst Subunit SEC6 and KEULE in Arabidopsis thaliana

Proper vesicle tethering and membrane fusion at the cell plate are essential for cytokinesis. Both the vesicle tethering complex exocyst and membrane fusion regulator KEULE were shown to function in cell plate formation, but the exact mechanisms still remain to be explored. In this study, using yeast two-hybrid （Y-2-H） assay, we found that SEC6 interacted with KEULE, and that a small portion of C-terminal region of KEULE was required for the interaction. The direct SEC6-KEULE interaction was supported by further studies using in vitro pull-down assay, immunoprecipitation, and in vivo bimolecular florescence complementation （BIFC） microscopy, sec6 mutants were male gametophytic lethal as reported; however, pollen-rescued sec6 mutants （PRsec6） displayed cytokinesis defects in the embryonic cells and later in the leaf pavement cells and the guard cells. SEC6 and KEULE proteins were co-localized to the cell plate during cytokine- sis in transgenic Arabidopsis. Furthermore, only SEC6 but not other exocyst subunits located in the cell plate interacted with KEULE in vitro. These results demonstrated that, like KEULE, SEC6 plays a physiological role in cytokinesis, and the SEC6-KEULE interaction may serve as a novel molecular linkage between arriving vesicles and membrane fusion machin- ery or directly regulate membrane fusion during cell plate formation in plants.
