吴茱萸果实中分泌囊的发生和发育研究

吴茱萸果皮内分布有许多分泌囊。我们作了发育解剖学方面的研究。在花蕾期,雌蕊的子房中分泌囊原始细胞即开始发生,它起源于单个表皮细胞和其内的1—4层薄壁细胞。分泌囊最初为裂生,后期由于上皮细胞的破毁,其腔隙逐渐扩大,因此,腔隙发生方式应属裂溶生型。成熟分泌囊是由多层鞘细胞和上皮细胞包围圆形腔隙构成。     

中国芸香科植物叶分泌囊比较解剖学研究

慈菇匍匐茎中分泌道的初步研究

慈茹匍蔔茎的分泌道是裂生的胞间道,分布于匍匐茎的基本组织中。单个分泌道原始细胞起始于离茎端约1毫米处的基本分生组织中,原始细胞经分裂形成5—7个上皮细胞包围着中央的裂生腔隙,成为管道系统。上皮细胞无鞘细胞包围。上皮细胞中高尔基体和内质网发达,并溢出小囊泡向着分泌道腔隙面壁的质膜附近迁移,乳汁中亦存在大量完整的小囊泡。上皮细胞和外围薄壁细胞之间的壁层具有大量胞间连丝,小囊泡和内质网的膜结构与胞间连丝末端相接,同时可见上皮细胞的质膜在数处反折内陷,形成袋状结构,在与上皮细胞相对的薄壁细胞内也有同样现象出现,袋状结构内含小形颗粒或囊泡,并在结构上显示出上皮细胞与相邻薄壁细胞间存在着活跃的物质交流。由此认为。代谢物质以整体小囊泡的形式经胞间连丝或内陷的质膜向分泌道迁移是物质运输和分泌的可能方式之一。在电镜下观察,液泡中的积聚物与乳汁十分相似,液泡可能是乳汁的贮存场所之一。

花椒果实分泌囊发育过程的超微结构研究

电镜观察结果表明,花椒(Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.)果实分泌囊是由裂生方式形成,由鞘细胞、上皮细胞和油腔构成。对分泌囊的原始细胞、油腔发生和扩大以及发育成熟3个时期的超微结构研究表明,其精油是在分泌囊油腔发生时开始积累,以油滴形态存在于上皮细胞的质体内及其周围的细胞质中。根据各细胞器的变化规律分析,质体是精油合成的主要场所,内质网参与精油的合成和转运,线粒体为上述活动提供能量。上皮细胞内积累的精油可能通过两种途径排出细胞,分泌至油腔内贮存。鞘细胞内也积累精油,其主要合成场所也与质体有关,以后转运至上皮细胞内。成熟分泌囊的质体由于功能改变,其内出现蛋白质结晶和淀粉粒。

Observations on the development of the foliar secretory cavities of Porophyllum lanceolatum (Asteraceae)

The lipophilic secretory cavities observed in the leaf of Porophyllum lanceolatum (Asteraceae) are scattered throughout the lamina and around its crenate margins. In the young leaf the cavities are initiated, and their development completed, while the surrounding tissues are still at early stages of differentiation. The cavity lumen has a lysigenous origin. Cell lysis, expansion of the developing leaf and, probably, the pressure exerted by the accumulation of secretory products, are believed to account for the gradual enlargement of the lumen. Concomitantly with ctll disintegration, which occurs throughout development, divisions take place in all cells of the gland. A mature cavity has a multilayered epithelium. Histochemical tests for RNA, proteins, phenolics and pectic polysaccharides revealed intense staining of the content of the epithelial cells in the early stages of cavity development, and a decrease in staining towards its maturity. Staining for lipids is intense in all developmental stages. Tests on the material observed in the lumen of mature cavities, show positive results for lipids, pectic polysaccharides and phenolics.     

The ultrastructure of secretion in the spermatheca of the salamander, Manculus quadrigitatus (Holbrook)

Spermathecae of mature salamanders (Manculus quadridigitatus) were studied by light and electron microscopy. Gross morphology exhibits a complex of muscle, connective tissue and pigment cells surrounding a cluster of tubules, which empty into a ciliated central duct leading to the cloacal cavity. The tubules are composed of myoepithetial cells and secretory cells, anchored to an encompassing basal lamina. Secretion products appear to be initiated as crystalline deposits, seen in mitochondrial repositories, which are subsequently sequestered in the perinuclear region. Observations show these vesicles to be precursors of the Golgi synthesis of carboxylated polysaccharides, as determined by histochemical tests using toluidine blue, ruthenium red, and alcian blue. The secretory products are emptied into the tubule lumen. thereby bathing the stored sperm and maintaining them in a viable state for approximately 8 months. The storage tubules appear to be a complete complex of varying epithelial cells specifically designed to support viable sperm and to resorb non-functional forms.     

Light- and electron-microscopic observations of the tail bud of the larval lamprey (Lampetra japonica), with special reference to neural tube formation

Serial transverse and horizontal sections of the tail of the 26-day larval lamprey, Lampetra japonica, were observed by light and electron microscopy. The axial structures in the tail of the larval lamprey seem to differentiate from the prospective materials derived individually from the tail bud. The latter consists of two closely adjoined cell populations (C1 and C2). C1 is a small cell cluster located posterior to the other group (C2) and consists of loosely arranged polymorphous cells. The cell cluster extends cranially as a cell sheet on the ventral surface of C2; somites differentiate from this cell sheet. C2 is composed of cells elongated mediolaterally and stacked horizontally to form a compact cell mass which is covered on each lateral surface by a basal lamina. The upper one-third of C2 seems to differentiate into the neural tube, anteceding other axial structures. The middle one-third of C2 seems to develop into the notochord, and the lower one-third into the subchord and the undefined cell cord. The central canal develops in the upper one-third of C2 through the following events: 1) appearance of cilia and a small cavity between adjoining cells; 2) appearance of microvilli in the cavity, in addition to cilia; and 3) development of junctional complexes along the luminal borders of cells surrounding the cavity. Together with these events, cells surrounding the cavity increase in number, acquiring apicobasal polarity and radial arrangement. The cavity itself enlarges by incorporation of periciliary clefts and fusion of cavities with each other to establish the central canal. Near the caudal end of the neural tube, the central canal is directly confluent with the connective-tissue space through an opening in the dorsal wall of the neural tube.     

Morphogenesis and secretory activity of mouse mammary cultures on EHS biomatrix

Summary The nature of the substratum profoundly influences the growth and function of epithelia in tissue culture. Mammospheres, hollow spherical structures, develop when epithelial clusters are plated on a biomatrix derived from the Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm murine tumour (EHS matrix). Morphologic examination of mammosphere development demonstrates that morphogenesis is a two stage process. Over the first 48 h the cells aggregate into spheres, drawing the matrix up and over themselves to become buried within the material. Changes in matrix morphology emphasize the importance of the quasi-fluid nature of the substratum on which the cells are plated. Lumen formation ensues over the next 2 to 5 days as the cells, polarized by basal contact with the matrix, differentiate. They form tight junctions at their apical borders and synthesize milk proteins, secreting caseins into the enlarging interior cavity and transferrin from their basal surfaces into the medium. These experiments demonstrate that the physical properties of the EHS matrix allow epithelial cells to develop the cuboidal shape necessary for secretory activity.Abbreviations EHS Engelbreth-Holm-Swarm biomatrix     

Lipoprotein lipase and leptin are accumulated in different secretory compartments in rat adipocytes.

Adipose cells produce and secrete several physiologically important proteins, such as lipoprotein lipase (LPL), leptin, adipsin, Acrp30, etc. However, secretory pathways in adipocytes have not been characterized, and vesicular carriers responsible for the accumulation and transport of secreted proteins have not been identified. We have compared the intracellular localization of two proteins secreted from adipose cells: leptin and LPL. Adipocytes accumulate large amounts of both proteins, suggesting that neither of them is targeted to the constitutive secretory pathway. By means of velocity centrifugation in sucrose gradients, equilibrium density centrifugation in iodixanol gradients, and immunofluorescence confocal microscopy, we determined that LPL and leptin were localized in different membrane structures. LPL was found mainly in the endoplasmic reticulum with a small pool being present in low density membrane vesicles that may represent a secretory compartment in adipose cells. Virtually all intracellular leptin was localized in these low density secretory vesicles. Insulin-sensitive Glut4 vesicles did not contain either LPL or leptin. Thus, secretion from adipose cells is controlled both at the exit from the endoplasmic reticulum as well as at the level of "downstream" secretory vesicles.     

Survey of leaf anatomy,especially secretory structures,of tribeCaesalpinieae (Leguminosae,Caesalpinioideae)

We studied leaflet anatomy, emphasizing secretory structures, from herbarium specimens of 128 species of 44 genera of tribeCaesalpinieae, using clearings, resin sections, and scanning electron microscopy. These observations, combined with those from our three earlier papers, provide a survey of 210 species representing all genera. Seventy-three species had secretory structures: 21 had glands or gland-like trichomes, 40 had living mesophyll idioblasts, and nine had cavities (three species each had two different types). Five additional species, all inCercidium (Caesalpinia group), had paired or clustered large spheroidal, thick-walled, empty cells (veinlet idioblasts) interconnected by perforation plate-like gaps. Secretory structures have systematic significance at various taxonomic levels.     

The secretory glands of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Asphodelus aestivus</Emphasis> flower

Various secretory glands are observed on Asphodelus aestivus flower, a common geophyte of Mediterranean type ecosystem. The floral nectary has the form of individual slits between the gynecium carpels (septal nectary). The septal slits extend downwards to the ascidiate zone of the carpels. The nectar is secreted by the epidermal cells of the slits, which differentiate into epithelial cells. The latter contain numerous organelles, among which endoplasmic reticulum elements and golgi bodies predominate. Nectar secretion results in an expansion of the space between the septa. The nectar becomes discharged through small holes on the ovary wall. Six closely packed stamens surround the ovary and bear numerous papillae at their basis. These papillae are actually osmophores, i.e. secretory structures responsible for the manufacture, secretion and dispersion of terpenic scent. A mucilage gland (obturator) exists between the lateral ovule and the ovary septa, giving a positive reaction with Schiff’s reagent. This gland secretes a mucoproteinaceous product to nourish the pollen tube and to facilitate its penetration into the ovary.
