Morphology and function of the Golgi apparatus

The polymorphism of the dictyosomes in the root meristeme ofFagopyrum is connected with their various functions in secretory processes and cell differentiation. The dictyosomes containing vesicular dilatations of the cisternae, which in this object occur more frequently than in others, probably participate in a similar way as the Golgi apparatus of the animal cell in the formation of lysozomes, in the formation of elements belonging to the group of dense bodies analogical lysozomes. These bodies are present in large numbers in the cytoplasm of cells, containing dictyosomes with vesicular dilatations. The other forms of the dictyosomes reveal indications of their participation in the production of the carbohydrate material of the cell walls, like most dictyosomes of other plant objects. However, no fusion of the Golgi vesicles with the plasmalemma was observed. According to their morphological appearance the typical forms of dictyosomes were classified on the basis of their relationship to secretory processes. Simultaneously the morphology and function of the Golgi apparatus was compared in the animal and plant cell. Several morphological varieties of the dictyosomes of plant cells, observed after the action of pathogenic factors and the effect of the fixation procedures, were also noticed in small quantities in the cells of the investigated objects.

Biomass partitioning in twoCalamagrostis villosa stands on deforested sites

Calamagrostis villosa stands occurring in areas deforested by air-pollution impact in the Moravian-Silesian Beskydy Mountains were characterized by a high dry mass of total underground biomass (3 300 g. m^?2—the slope site, 2 850 g. m^?2—the flat site). The percentage of living roots and rhizomes in total underground biomass was very high (about 70%). The total aboveground biomass was respectively, 321 g.m^?2 (the slope site) and 726 g. m^?2 (the flat site). In unstabilized habitats on steep slope, the higher plant biomass produced was allocated to a more developed root system.     

Further characterization of four lipocortins from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells

Four calcium and phospholipid binding proteins purified from mononuclear cells were characterized for PKC and EGF phosphorylation, actin binding capacity, and partial tissue distribution. Those named 35K, 32K, and 73K are equivalent, respectively, to lipocortin III, endonexin II and the 67 kDa calelectrin; 36K is a fragment of 73K. After purification, 35K and 73K were phosphorylated by protein kinase C in vitro but 36K nor 32K were not. None were phosphorylated by the epidermal growth factor receptor kinase in vitro; 73K bound F-actin in a calcium-dependent manner, whereas 35K, 36K, and 32K did not. Using Western blotting analysis, 32K and 73K were detected in high amounts in human lymphocytes, monocytes, liver, and placenta and in rat adrenal medulla; but 32K was not detected in polymorphonuclear cells, and 36K and 35K were detected in high amounts only, respectively, in human blood lymphocytes and polymorphonuclear cells. Thus, 32K and 73K appear to have a wide tissue distribution, whereas 35K has a much more restricted distribution.
