The nectary of Rosmarinus officinalis L. has the form of a four-lobed,asymmetrical disc situated around the base of the ovary. Thenectary lobe facing the lower flower lip is enlarged and isthe only one to have modified stomata. Vascular strands consistingof phloem only occur in the nectariferous tissue. It is suggestedthat the pre-nectar originating in the phloem accumulates primarilyas starch grains in plastids of the nectariferous cells. Thenumber of grains is very large before anthesis and decreasesconsiderably at anthesis. The transport of the pre-nectar tothe various nectariferous cells appears to be mainly via thesymplast. It could not be determined whether the process ofelimination of the nectar is solely eccrine or partly granulocrine. Rosmarinus officinalis, nectary, nectar secretion, starch grains, phloem  相似文献

The ultrastructure of the nectary spur of Limodorum abortivum(L) Sw. was examined before and after anthesis. In cross sectionthe nectary spur shows an internal epidermal layer of thin-walledcells bordering the secretory cavity and 10–12 layersof parenchyma cells. The ultrastructure of the secretory cellssuggests the involvement of ER, Golgi and plastids in nectarsecretion. The nectar accumulated in the sub-cuticular spaceis released into the nectariferous cavity by rupture of theouter layer of the cuticle.

新疆鼠尾草(Salvia deserta Schang)花蜜腺位于子房基部的花托上,为盘状的花托蜜腺,其顶部裂成4片,其裂片大小不等,比例悬殊。蜜腺由产蜜组织和分泌表皮构成,又为结构蜜腺。组织化学染色显示淀粉粒动态明显,因此又属淀粉蜜腺。在发育的过程中细胞液泡化动态明显,且淀粉粒和蛋白质具有明显的消长变化,但PAS反应和苏木精脂类染色无明显变化。其泌蜜过程可能为:原蜜汁由邻近的韧皮部提供,经薄壁细胞运送至产蜜组织,在产蜜组织中进一步积聚、合成后,最终蜜汁通过变态气孔和分泌表皮细胞的角质层泌出。  相似文献

The floral nectary of the foxglove (Digitalis purpureaL.), locatedat the base of the ovary, was examined by: scanning electronmicroscopy; quantitative bright-field microscopy via computer-aided3-D reconstruction from serial sections; morphometric procedures;transmission electron microscopy and measurement of nectar effluxunder different experimental conditions. Time-lapse video recordingvia a microscope with incident light clearly showed that thenectar escaped from the apertures of modified stomata. The volumeflux via individual stomatal apertures was 0.31±0.1 nlmin-1; therefore only a fraction of the total number of stomataper nectary (115±8) would be sufficient to dischargethe amount of nectar reported in previous publications. Thestomatal apertures are continuous with intercellular spacestraversing the small-celled nectariferous tissue. The latteris vascularized only by phloem, whose termini consists of rowsof slender cells. These sieve-like cells are surrounded by moreor less isodiametrical sheath cells with dimensions similarto the secretory cells. Details of nectary functioning are basedon enhanced structural information, complementary data on nectardischarge after experimental manipulations and the nature ofthe effluence.Copyright 1998 Annals of Botany Company Digitalis purpureaL.; foxglove; floral nectary; (ultra-)structure; 3-D reconstruction; morphometry; nectar flow; time-lapse video recording.  相似文献

The flowers of Boswellia sacra Flueck. (Burseraceae) present a showy nectariferous ring which changes color from yellow to brilliant red in a few days. In this paper, the structure and development of this peculiar nectary were studied using light microscopy as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The nectary presents a double way of secretion, since it releases nectar through both glandular trichomes and nectarostomata. A direct vascular supply is lacking; however, a large quantity of starch was stored in glandular parenchyma cells at the early secretory stage, while it disappeared at the senescent stage. The nectary, besides showing the typical secretory parenchyma cells, is characterized by the occurrence of highly osmiophilic cell rows. Experimental evidence shows that these cells are involved in nectarostoma secretion. The different secreting structures are described and their role is discussed.  相似文献

Ultrastructure, Development and Secretion in the Nectary of Banana Flowers   总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2  
The nectaries of Musa paradisiaca L. var. sapientum Kuntze werefound to secrete in addition to the sugar solution, a polysaccharidemucilage and a very electron dense, homogenous material whichwas apparently protein. The polysaccharide had already startedto appear outside the epithelial cells of the nectary at veryearly stages of nectary development. At somewhat later developmentalstages the very dense homogenous material appeared in the formof droplets between the plasmalemma and cell wall in massesin the nectary lumen. Nectar secretion started in flowers whenthe bract in the axil of which they occurred had just recoiled.The ER elements were dilated and formed vesicles and the Golgibodies were very active, at the stage of the nectar secretionand at stages preceding it, except at the stage just beforesecretion. In all stages of nectary development the dilatedER elements and most large Golgi vesicles contained fibrillarmaterial. It is suggested that both ER and the Golgi apparatusare involved in the secretion of the sugar solution and of thepolysaccharides. There was not enough evidence as to where inthe cell the very dense homogenous material is synthesized. A few developmental stages of the nectaries of the male flowersof the Dwarf Cavendish banana, which do not secrete nectar,were also studied. It was seen that at early stages of development,the ultra-structure of the nectary of this banana variety wassimilar to that of M. paradisiaca var. sapientum. However, theepithelial nectary cells of the Dwarf Cavendish banana disintegratedbefore maturation of the nectary. Musa paradisiaca L, banana, floral nectaries, ultrastructure  相似文献

The structure and ultrastructure of the nectaries of the monoeciousspecies Ecballium elaterium were studied. Large differencesin size and structure of the nectaries were observed in thetwo genders of flowers, those of the staminate flowers beingmuch larger and more developed than those of the pistillateflowers. The latter do not secrete measurable amounts of nectar.In the nectariferous cells, especially of the staminate flowers,numerous plasmodesmata are present. The pre-nectar originatingin the phloem is stored in the plastids of the nectariferouscells primarily as starch grains. The nectar appears to be exudedfrom the nectary via modified stomata. Very small insects ofthe order Hemiptera were found to dwell inside the flowers ofthe two genders, but in different numbers; their number in thestaminate flowers was more than twice that in the pistillateflowers. These insects may take part in the process of pollination.Copyright 2001 Annals of Botany Company Ecballium elaterium, Cucurbitaceae, monoecious plant, nectaries, structure, ultrastructure, nectar secretion, stomata, Hemiptera insects  相似文献

Leaflet abscission in Sambucus nigra is precipitated by cellwall degradation which is restricted to the site of cell separation.Accompanying wall breakdown is an increase in the activity ofthe enzyme polygalacturonase (PG) (E.C. 3.2.1.15 [EC] ) and this riseis primarily confined to the abscission zone tissue. The polygalacturonasehas a pH optimum of 4·4 and has the characteristics ofan endo-acting enzyme. The elevation in enzyme activity is theresult of an increase in at least two isoforms of PG as revealedby polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the natured protein.Leaflet abscission in S. nigra is associated with an increasein the solubility and depolymerization of polyuronides fromthe cell wall. These observations are discussed in relationto the mechanism of cell separation during ethylene-stimulatedleaf abscission.

Background and Aims Despite the number of orchid speciesthat are thought to be pollinated by hummingbirds, our knowledgeof the nectaries of these orchids is based solely on a singlespecies, Maxillaria coccinea (Jacq.) L.O. Williams ex Hodge.Nevertheless, it is predicted that such nectaries are likelyto be very diverse and the purpose of this paper is to comparethe nectary and the process of nectar secretion in Hexisea imbricata(Lindl.) Rchb.f. with that of Maxillaria coccinea so as to beginto characterize the nectaries of presumed ornithophilous Neotropicalorchids. • Methods Light microscopy, transmission electronmicroscopyand histochemistry were used to examine the histology and chemicalcomposition of nectary tissue and the process of nectar secretionin H. imbricata. • Key Results and Conclusions The nectary of H. imbricatahas a vascular supply, is bound by a single-layered epidermiswith few stomata and comprises two or three layers of subepidermalsecretory cells beneath which lie several layers of palisade-likeparenchymatous cells, some of which contain raphides or mucilage.The secretory cells are collenchymatous and their walls havenumerous pits with associated plasmodesmata. They contain thefull complement of organelles characteristic of secretory cellsas well as intravacuolar protein bodies but some of the secretoryepidermal cells, following secretion, collapse and their anticlinalwalls seem to fold. Nectar secretion is thought to be granulocrineand, following starch depletion, lipid droplets collect withinthe plastids. The nectar accumulates beneath the cuticle whichsubsequently forms swellings. Finally, nectar collects in thesaccate nectary spur formed by the fusion of the margins ofthe labellum and the base of the column-foot. Thus, althoughthe nectary of H. imbricata and M. coccinea have many featuresin common, they nevertheless display a number of important differences.  相似文献

The structure of the floral nectaries of Cornus alba was studied using light microscopy as well as scanning and transmission electron microscopy. It was found that the nectary gland of white dogwood had the shape of a fleshy ring surrounding the base of the style of the inferior ovary. Nectar secretion occurs through slightly depressed stomata, evenly distributed in the epidermis of the nectary. The nectariferous tissue is composed of over a dozen layers of heterogeneously structured cells. Between groups of cells with a typical structure, characteristic for the secretory tissue, cells occur with degenerated content and a high degree of vacuolization. In the area of the nectary gland cells, no vascular tissue elements were observed. The nectary was irrigated by the vasculature of the flower receptacle.  相似文献

Affinity chromatography-purifled elderberry (Sambucus nigraL.) seed proteins strongly inhibited protein synthesis and displayedthe 28S rRNA N-glycosidase activity characteristic of all typesof ribosome-inactivating proteins (RIPs). Western blot analysisrevealed several proteins that reacted with antibodies raisedagainst the novel non-toxic type 2 ribosome-inactivating proteinnigrin b isolated from elder bark, thus indicating the presenceof a new type 2 RIP.

Abstract: The structure, organization and development of the axillary complex and extrafloral nectary in Capparis retusa Griseb. was analysed for the first time. The axillary complex presents three uniserial descending buds. Subordinated shoots originate from the distal and middle bud, while the proximal bud is usually quiescent. Close to the top of the axillary complex there is a subglobulous and umbilicated extrafloral nectary, normally visited by nectivore ants; a chronological coincidence between secretion, production and ant patrolling activities has been observed. The nectary structure differentiates at the second caulinar node, from an axillar meristem separated from the surrounding cells by a shell zone. On the fourth node a remarkably developed nectary primordium can be observed, inside which procambial strands develop acropetally. In the central region of the nectary primordium homogenous parenchyma differentiates progressively, later acquiring characteristics of nectariferous tissue. The mature nectary is vascularized by xylem and phloem, and the procambial differentiation is completed in a basipetal way. The first serial bud differentiates at the third node, from meristem cells near the base of its supporting leaf. The complex nodal structure with three buds completes its development at the eighth caulinar node. Ramular traces are observed as vascular semicylinders penetrating into the base of the buds to constitute a vascular system similar to that of the shoot. The scheme is repeated in the extrafloral nectary, giving rise to prolific branching in the periphery of the nectariferous tissue.  相似文献

Floral nectary structure and nectar sugar composition were investigated in relation to other floral traits and flower visitors in contrasting species of Nyctaginaceae from southern South America, representing four tribes (Bougainvilleeae, Colignonieae, Nyctagineae, Pisoneae). Our comparative data will aid in the understanding of plant–pollinator interactions and in the development of hypotheses on the origin of floral and reproductive characters in this family. The nectaries are located on the inner side of the staminal tube. The nectariferous tissue is composed of an epidermis and three to ten layers of secretory parenchymal cells, supplied indirectly by the filament vascular bundles. Stomata appear to be associated with nectar secretion. For the first time in Nyctaginaceae, nectary ultrastructure is described in Boerhavia diffusa var. leiocarpa. Nectary parenchyma cells are densely cytoplasmic and contain numerous starch grains. Plasmodesmata connect the nectariferous cells. Flowers of Nyctaginaceae secrete a small volume of nectar of variable concentration (10–47%). Nectar is dominated by hexoses, but Mirabilis jalapa showed a balanced proportion of sucrose and hexoses. Hymenoptera are the most common visitors for most species; nocturnal Lepidoptera are the most common visitors for M. jalapa and Bougainvillea stipitata. We found relatively low variation in the nectary characteristics of Nyctaginaceae compared with broad variation in flower structure, shape, colour and nectar traits. © 2013 The Linnean Society of London  相似文献
