SPORE WALL FORMATION AND CHLOROPLAST DEVELOPMENT DURING SPOROGENESIS IN THE MOSS FISSIDENS LIMBATUS

The sequence of wall formation in spores of Fissidens limbatus Sullivant is as follows: The exine is formed around the protoplasts after the sporocyte has undergone meiosis. The fully enlarged spores then become coated by the perine; this is followed by intine formation. The source of the intine and exine appears to be from within the spore, but the perine is of an apparent exogenous origin. Ornamentation of the spore is due solely to deposition of the perine. Each spore originally has a single plastid. Plastids increase in number by fission, resulting in mature spores with numerous plastids with well differentiated lamellae.

Studies on Spore Morphology of Some Chinese Sphagnum L

The spores of 5 species and 1 subspecies of Sphagnum in China were examined under LM and SEM, and one of them under TEM. All of the above spores are radial symmetrical, tetrahedral, rounded-triangular in polar view and 36.1-55.7 μm in diameter. Among them, the size of the spores of S. cuspidatum is the largest. Trilete is distinct, narrow and slightly curved, ca. 1/3-1/2 of the spore radius, margo very distinct under SEM, perine with gemmae and verrucae. The sporoderm of Sphagnum contains perine, exine and intine. On the basis of spore morphology, the point of view that Sphagnum is a primitive genus in mosses is supported. In sporo-pollen analysis the spores of Sphagnum are easily confused with some spores of ferns.     

PpASCL,the Physcomitrella patens Anther-Specific Chalcone Synthase-Like Enzyme Implicated in Sporopollenin Biosynthesis,Is Needed for Integrity of the Moss Spore Wall and Spore Viability

Sporopollenin is the main constituent of the exine layer of spore and pollen walls. The anther-specific chalcone synthase-like (ASCL) enzyme of Physcomitrella patens, PpASCL, has previously been implicated in the biosynthesis of sporopollenin, the main constituent of exine and perine, the two outermost layers of the moss spore cell wall. We made targeted knockouts of the corresponding gene, PpASCL, and phenotypically characterized ascl sporophytes and spores at different developmental stages. Ascl plants developed normally until late in sporophytic development, when the spores produced were structurally aberrant and inviable. The development of the ascl spore cell wall appeared to be arrested early in microspore development, resulting in small, collapsed spores with altered surface morphology. The typical stratification of the spore cell wall was absent with only an abnormal perine recognisable above an amorphous layer possibly representing remnants of compromised intine and/or exine. Equivalent resistance of the spore walls of ascl mutants and the control strain to acetolysis suggests the presence of chemically inert, defective sporopollenin in the mutants. Anatomical abnormalities of late-stage ascl sporophytes include a persistent large columella and an air space incompletely filled with spores. Our results indicate that the evolutionarily conserved PpASCL gene is needed for proper construction of the spore wall and for normal maturation and viability of moss spores.

Studies on Timmiella barbuloides (Brid.) Moenk., IV. SEM and TEM characterization of spore wall and first germination stages

Abstract

The spore wall morphology of Timmiella barbuloides (Pottiales, Musci) is described. The spores are catalept, with an ornamentation pattern consisting of unevenly spaced, shortly pedunculated pilum-and gemma-like processes. The spore coat consists of three, unevenly thick layers: intine, exine, and perine. The exine is not involved in wall ornamentation, the processes consisting of perine only. The leptoma, a spore coat area involved in germination, consists of an intine markedly thickening in an area of thinning exine and, outside, with a spore coat area where perinous processes become sparse. On the basis of observations and of the data reported in recent literature the classical definition of the leptoma is modified. It is considered to be a structurally specialized, but not necessarily thin, area.     

Spore morphology of some Bruchiaceae species (Bryophyta) from Brazil

The spores of Bruchia uleana, B. uruguensis, Eobruchia bruchioides, Trematodon ambiguus, T. aureus, T. brevifolius, T. longlcollis, T. reflexus and T. vaginatus were studied by light and scanning electron microscopy. The spore wall of the family Bruchiaceae includes sclerine (the distinction between exine and perine may be difficult to define) and intine. The aperture may be surrounded or not by one or more rings of ornamentation elements. Two basic types of spore were recognized: one characterized by a gemmoid surface and the other with elongated processes and two types of ornamentation in the apertural region. The spores of the taxa studied support the separation of the Bruchiaceae from the Dicranaceae.     

Promotion of fern rhizoid elongation by metal ions and the function of the spore coat as an ion reservoir

The perine, or outer coat, of spores of the fern Onoclea sensibilis L. may be chemically removed by a brief treatment with dilute NaClO. Treated spores germinate normally on glass-redistilled H₂O, but elongation of the rhizoid which is differentiated during germination is severely limited. Rhizoid elongation in perine-free spores, however, is normal when the spores are germinated on Knop's mineral medium or on single-salt solutions of Ca²⁺, Mn²⁺, or Mg²⁺. In intact spores which retain their perine, rhizoid elongation is normal on distilled H₂O, and the perine serves as a source of ions which are available to the spores and can sustain rhizoid elongation, even when the external medium is deficient. Electron micrographs show that there are structural differences in the rhizoid wall between perine-free spores germinated on distilled H₂O or on nutrient solutions, and also a difference in the number of vesicles in the apical cytoplasm. Localization of Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ in the elongating rhizoid can be visualized with chlorotetracycline fluorescence. No concentration of these ions can be detected by this technique in the small rhizoid initial cell before cell elongation begins.
