Summary Anther development of isogenic male fertile and cytoplasmic male sterile types ofPetunia hybrida cv. Blue Bedder is studied by electron microscopy. First deviation in sporogenesis of the sterile type, is observed during leptotene stage of the meiocytes. Initial aberration is represented by the presence of large vacuoles in the cytoplasm of the tapetal cells. These vacuoles reveal the first aspects of degeneration; no other ultrastructural differences are observed. Vacuolation is accompanied by the condensation of cytoplasmic organelles. The tapetal cells become distorted and ultrastructural aberrations in mitochondria do occur. The mitochondria elongate and contain several tubular cristae.Substantial evidence suggests, that cytoplasmic male sterility in petunia is encoded by the mitochondrial genome (Boeshore el al. 1983). However, before degeneration becomes manifest, no consistent ultrastructural differences in mitochondrial organization are observed.Abortion of the tapetum and the sporogenous tissue in cytoplasmic male sterile plants, generally follows a corresponding pattern. Ultimately, the cells are highly distorted, the nucleus is disrupted and the cytoplasm disorganized. Mitochondria and plastids degenerate and many lipid droplets are present.  相似文献

We studied the possible involvement of several pectin epitopes in anther differentiation and microsporogenesis in fertile and cytoplasmically male sterile sugar beets. The spatial and temporal distribution of five structural motifs were traced with a panel of monoclonal antibodies in six stages: premeiosis, meiotic prophase, young and mature tetrads, young and expanding microspores. The composition of the walls of sporogenous cells and meiocytes differed than that in the tapetum, as evidenced by the presence of alpha-Fuc(1-->2)-beta-Gal and alpha-(1-->5)-L-Ara epitopes binding CCRC-M1 and LM6 antibodies. At meiotic prophase, the meiocyte walls were additionally marked by the appearance of poorly methyl-esterified domains of homogalacturonan and of (1-->4)-beta-Gal residues, detected by JIM5 and LM5. Some constituents of the meiocyte wall which reacted with JIM5 and JIM7 persisted on the surface of the special callose sheath during tetrad development. In newly formed primexine and exine layers of tetrads and microspores, epitopes that were bound by JIM5, JIM7 and LM5 were abundant. No differences in the deposition or relative abundance of pectins were found between fertile and sterile anthers until microspore release from the callose. Later, at the time of abortion, sterile microspores had much larger amounts of epitopes detected by JIM5 than their fertile counterparts.  相似文献

Anthers of inbred F44 fertile (N) and cytoplasmic male-sterile (T) corn plants (Zea mays L.) were compared cytologically. No differences between fertile and sterile anthers were observed in size and number of mitochondria or plastids until after the start of anther degeneration. A rapid division of mitochondria was observed, however, in the tapetum and sporogenous cells of both fertile and sterile anthers during early growth stages. This rapid increase in mitochondrial numbers per cell (some 20-to 40-fold) preceded tapetal breakdown in sterile anthers and did not occur in other anther cells or in plastids. Limited observations on the megagametophyte and nucellus revealed that mitochondria in ovules remain relatively constant in size and number during gametogenesis and do not undergo degeneration.  相似文献

To gain further insight into the abortive stages and ultrastructural changes leading to pollen degeneration of a novel cytoplasmic male sterile radish 805A, we compared differences of cellular and subcellular structure of sterile anther with fertile anther by light and electron microscopy analysis. Two types of locule degeneration in sterile anther were detected, of which the time of degeneration occurred and completed was different. In type I, abnormality of pollen mother cells (PMCs) and tapetal cells, including condensation of cytoplasm and large vacuoles within tapetal cells, was shown at PMC stage. In type II, meiosis and early tetrad stage progressed normally except for large vacuoles that appeared in tapetal cells. Ultrastructural alterations of the cellular organization were observed in the type II locules, such as chromatin condensation at the periphery of the nucleus and degeneration of the karyotheca, compared with normal pollen development. The results suggested that the cytoplasmic male sterility anther degeneration was probably caused by dysfunctions of tapetum and vacuolation of tapetum, PMCs, and microspores. Thus, the identical factors, which induced CMS in the same cytoplasmic and nuclear genetic background, might affect development of tapetum and microspore at different stages during the cytoplasmic male sterile 805A anther development.  相似文献

In the recessive genic male sterile line 9012A of Brassica napus, pollen development is affected during the tetrad stage. According to the light and electron microscopy analysis of tapetal cells and tetrads, the sterile tapetal cells swelled with expanded vacuoles at the early tetrad stage and finally filled the center of the locules where a majority of tetrads encased with the thick callose wall collapsed and degraded. We suggested that an absence of callase, which is a wall-degrading enzyme stored in the vacuoles of tapetal cells before secretion, resulted in the failure of tetrad separation. Moreover, transmission electron microscopy analysis showed that the secretory tapetal cells were not observed in sterile anthers, which indicated that the transition of the tapetum from the parietal type to the secretory type was probably aberrant. In plants, degeneration of the tapetum is thought to be the result of programmed cell death (PCD). PCD of tapetal cells was investigated by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling assay and signals indicative of deoxyribonucleic acid fragmentation were detected much earlier in sterile anther than in fertile anther. This suggests that tapetal breakdown does not occur by the normal procession of PCD and might be following an alternative mechanism of unscheduled apoptosis in line 9012A. This research supports the hypothesis that premature PCD is associated with male sterility in B. napus.  相似文献

Study of male sterility in Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata (Taxodiaceae)   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Summary. A study of male sterility over a period of three consecutive years on a conifer species endemic to Taiwan, Taiwania cryptomerioides Hayata (Taxodiaceae), was done for this article. With the aids of fluorescence and electron microscopic observations, the ontogenic processes in the fertile and sterile microsporangia are compared, using samples collected from Chitou Experimental Forest and Yeou-Shoei-Keng Clonal Orchard of the National Taiwan University, Nantou, Taiwan. The development of male strobili occurred from August to the end of March. Microsporogenesis starts with the formation of the archesporium and ends with the maturation of 2-celled pollen grains within the dehiscing microsporangium. Before meiosis, there was no significant difference in ultrastructure between the fertile and sterile microsporangia. Asynchronous pollen development with various tetrad forms may occur in the same microsporangium of either fertile or sterile strobili. However, a callose wall was observable in the fertile dyad and tetrad, but not in the sterile one. After dissolution of the callose wall, the fertile microspores were released into the locule, while some sterile microspores still retained as tetrads or dyads with intertwining of exine walls in the proximal faces. As a result, there was no well developed lamellated endexine and no granulate ectexine or intine in the sterile microspores. Eventually, the intracellular structures in sterile microspores were dramatically collapsed before anthesis. The present study shows that the abortion in pollen development is possibly attributed to the absence of the callose wall. The importance of this structure to the male sterility of T. cryptomerioides is discussed.

The developmental defects causing cytoplasmic male sterility in Petunia parodii are described in isonuclear fertile, sterile, and fertility-restored plants using both light- and scanning electron microscopy. The aberrant development of the sporogenous tissue and tapetal layer caused by the cytoplasmic male sterile cytoplasm in both Petunia hybrida and P. parodii nuclear backgrounds is similar in onset and progression. The degeneration of the sporogenous tissue and tapetal layer of sterile anthers is first apparent late in meiosis and results in highly abnormal sterile sporogenous tissue by tetrad stage of fertile anthers. The stomium and endothecium do not show major developmental differences between fertile and sterile anthers, but the inner connective tissue of sterile anthers contained calcium crystals not found at high abundance in fertile anthers. Ovoid bodies containing magnesium and phosphorus were seen only in the vascular bundles of fertile anthers. Material prepared for the scanning electron microscope by freeze drying showed better retention of fragile morphological features, while critical-point drying permitted examination of nonvolatile structures, such as cell walls.  相似文献

Programmed-cell-death events during tapetum development of angiosperms   总被引:23,自引:0,他引:23

Summary Programmed-cell-death events in the tapetum of two angiosperms (Lobivia rauschii Zecher andTillandsia albida Mez et Purpus) are described by ultrastructural methods. Tapetum degradation appears to be a type of programmed cell death, with the cellular remnants necessary for pollen development, acting as products of holocrine secretion. Diagnostic features of apoptosis during tapetum development are: general shrinkage of the whole cell and the nuclei; condensation of the chromatin at the periphery of the internal nuclear membrane; the enlargement of the endoplasmicreticulum cisternae to circumscribe portions of the cytoplasm; the persistence of mitochondria together with microfilament bundles until the last stages of tapetal degeneration.  相似文献

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) in sunflower anthers is compared with its normal (N) line by using light and electron microscopy. Degeneration and disintegration of CMS tapetum and microspore tetrads occur after meiosis II, resulting in sterility. At the onset of meiosis, the CMS tapetum enlarges radially and shows signs of disorganization of organelles and walls. The developing CMS meiocytes and tetrads of microspores do not show these abnormalities when compared with their N counterparts. The CMS microspore tetrads remain viable until a rudimentary exine forms around each microspore. At this time, the radially enlarged tapetum disintegrates, followed by disintegration of the tetrads. In N-line microsporogenesis, a peripheral, dense tapetum is present at the tetrad stage, and as each locule enlarges, free spaces occur around the tetrads. After a rudimentary exine with associated spines and colpi is formed around each microspore, the callose holding each tetrad together dissolves, freeing the microspores for further development. Eventually the binucleate tapetum becomes plasmodial, persisting until the vacuolate pollen stage.  相似文献

Anther development, microsporogenesis, and microgametogenesis were studied using both light and TEM microscopy in the six accessible subdioecious/cryptically dioecious species of Consolea (Cactaceae). Anther wall development, microsporogenesis, and microgametogenesis are uniform in staminate flowers of all six species, and are typical for Cactaceae. Breakdown of microsporogenesis in male‐sterile anthers occurs early, at the onset of meiosis, and results in anthers bearing no pollen grains. The abortive process follows a common pattern in all investigated species. The tapetum is the first layer to deviate from normal male‐fertile anther development. Tapetal cells in male‐sterile anthers elongate at an early stage and have abundant rER with atypical configurations. Ultimately, the tapetum becomes hypertrophied and non‐functional. Male‐sterility in pistillate flowers appears to be directly related to these anomalies. In addition, other anther layers and tissues are affected, and normal patterns of programmed cell death (PCD) are disrupted. The relationship between these patterns and the pattern of PCD in normal male‐fertile anthers is discussed. We hypothesize a single origin for the cryptically dioecious/subdioecious breeding system of Consolea based on the uniformity of the anther's abortive processes in pistillate flowers.  相似文献

Summary The development of sporogenous and tapetal cells in the anthers of male-fertile and cytoplasmic male-sterile sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L.) plants was studied using light and transmission electron microscopy. In general, male-sterile anthers showed a much greater variability in developmental pattern than male-fertile anthers. The earliest deviation from normal anther development was observed to occur in sterile anthers at meiotic early prophase: there was a degeneration or irregular proliferation of the tapetal cells. Other early aberrant events were the occurrence of numerous small vesicles in the microspore mother cells (MMC) and a disorganized chromatin condensation. Deviations that occurred in sterile anthers at later developmental stages included: (1) less distinct inner structures in the mitochondria of both MMC and tapetal cells from middle prophase onwards. (2) dilated ER and nuclear membranes at MMC prophase, in some cases associated with the formation of protein bodies. (3) breakdown of cell walls in MMCs and tapetal cells at late meiotic prophase. (4) no massive increase in tapetal ER at the tetrad stage. (5) a general dissolution of membranes, first in the MMC, then in the tapetum. (6) abortion of microspores and the occurrence of a plasmodial tapetum in anthers reaching the microspore stage. (7) no distinct degeneration of tapetal cells after microspore formation. Thus, it seems that the factors that lead to abortive microsporogenesis are structurally expressed at widely different times during anther development. Aberrant patterns are not restricted to the tetrad stage but occur at early prophase.  相似文献

Sporophyte-gametophyte interactions between anther and male gametophyte were investigated in two (fertile and sterile) clones of petunia (Petunia hybrida L.) with different reproductive strategies. Structural and functional reorganization of sporophyte tissues in the developing anther of fertile clone is closely coordinated with each of the successive stages of male gametophyte development (from meiosis to the formation of binuclear pollen) and comprises not only destruction of tapetum and three middle layers of the wall but also an activation of gas exchange and a rise in the content of sugars (sucrose, fructose, and glucose). In sterile clone, degradation of tapetum and anomalies in the development of sporogenic tissue were simultaneously observed in the prophase of meiosis. The death of microsporocytes and degeneration of tapetum were accompanied by a decrease in the level of sucrose delivered to the anther tissues and changes in the ratio between sucrose and hexoses in favor of glucose.  相似文献

Male sterility in a petunia cytoplasmic male sterile line has been attributed to the early appearance of active callase, a beta-1,3-glucanase, in the anther locule. This leads to premature dissolution of the callose walls surrounding the microsporogenous cells. We have mimicked this aspect of the petunia line in transgenic tobacco by engineering the secretion of a modified pathogenesis-related vacuolar beta-1,3-glucanase from the tapetum prior to the appearance of callase activity in the locule. Plants expressing the modified glucanase from tapetum-specific promoters exhibited reduced male fertility, ranging from complete to partial male sterility. Callose appearance and distribution are normal in the male sterile transgenic plants up to prophase I, whereupon callose is prematurely degraded. Meiosis and cell division occur normally. The resultant microspores have an abnormally thin cell wall that lacks sculpturing. The tapetum shows hypertrophy. Male sterility is probably caused by bursting of the aberrant microspores at a time corresponding to microspore release. These results demonstrate that premature callose degradation is sufficient to cause male sterility and suggest that callose is essential for the formation of a normal microspore cell wall.  相似文献

Summary Male sterility genes isolated in four inbred lines of pearl millet were found allelic. The differences between male fertile and male sterile phenotypes is mainly due to a single gene. Presence of a dominant gene (Ms) resulted in male fertility and double recessiveness (ms ms) in male sterility. However, genic male sterility (GMS) in Pennisetum is not a simply inherited case of monogenic recessive condition but is influenced by cytoplasmic and several nuclear factors. In a male sterile, the stage at which the male sterility gene is expressed during the development of the male gametophyte resulting in breakdown of the cells is influenced by cytoplasmic and other nuclear factors. Two types of cytoplasm, C-1 and C-2, are recognized. Presence of any two recessive male sterility alleles in C-1 led to breakdown of male development before differentiation of an archesporium in the anther (Arc-type); in C-2 cytoplasm, degeneration started during meiosis with fusion of meiocytes and syncyte formation (Syn-type), or at post-meiotic stages terminating in abortion of microspores before first pollen mitosis (PGM type). The triggering of activity of recessive male sterility genes in C-2 cytoplasm appeared to be regulated by two nuclear factors, R 1 and R 2 with duplicate gene action. Recessiveness for both the R factors in C-2 cytoplasm resulted in PGM-type expression. The action of R 1 and R 2 is specific to C-2 cytoplasm. Mutation of cytoplasm from C-1 to C-2 and C-2 to C-1 was observed.  相似文献
