Cytological evidence for preservation of mitochondrial and plastid DNA in the mature generative cells of Chlorophytum spp. (Liliaceae) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Summary. Following 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole staining of mature pollen grains of Chlorophytum comosum, fluorescence microscopy confirmed that cytoplasmic nucleoids (DNA aggregates) were present in the generative cells, which
indicated the possibility of biparental cytoplasmic inheritance. Electron and immuno-electron microscopy showed that both
plastids and mitochondria were present in the generative cells, and both organelles contained DNA. These results indicate
that mitochondria and plastids of C. comosum have the potential for biparental inheritance. Similar results were obtained with mature pollen grains of C. chinense. Therefore, we conclude the coincident biparental inheritance for mitochondria and plastids in the members of the genus Chlorophytum.

Divergent potentials for cytoplasmic inheritance within the genus Syringa. A new trait associated with speciogenesis 下载免费PDF全文
Epifluorescence microscopic detection of organelle DNA in the mature generative cell is a rapid method for determining the potential for the mode of cytoplasmic inheritance. We used this method to examine 19 of the known 22 to 27 species in the genus Syringa. Organelle DNA was undetectable in seven species, all in the subgenus Syringa, but was detected in the 12 species examined of the subgenera Syringa and Ligustrina. Therefore, species within the genus Syringa display differences in the potential cytoplasmic inheritance. Closer examination revealed that the mature generative cells of the species in which organelle DNA was detected contained both mitochondria and plastids, but cells of the species lacking detectable organelle DNA contained only mitochondria, and the epifluorescent organelle DNA signals from the mature generative cells corresponded to plastid DNA. In addition, semiquantitative analysis was used to demonstrate that, during pollen development, the amount of mitochondrial DNA decreased greatly in the generative cells of the species examined, but the amount of plastid DNA increased remarkably in the species containing plastids in the generative cell. The results suggest that all Syringa species exhibit potential maternal mitochondrial inheritance, and a number of the species exhibit potential biparental plastid inheritance. The difference between the modes of potential plastid inheritance among the species suggests different phylogenies for the species; it also supports recent conclusions of molecular, systematic studies of the Syringa. In addition, the results provide new evidence for the mechanisms of maternal mitochondrial inheritance in angiosperms. 相似文献

Summary. Epifluorescence microscopy of mature pollen grains of Turnera ulmifolia and Zantedeschia aethiopica stained with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole demonstrated the presence of fluorescent cytoplasmic DNA aggregates in the male reproductive cells of both species. Double staining of the cells with 4,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole and 3,3-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide in Technovit resin sections showed that the mitochondria of these cells did not correspond to the fluorescent cytoplasmic DNA aggregates. Electron microscopy studies revealed both plastids and mitochondria in the cells of these species. In addition, immunoelectron microscopy using an anti-DNA monoclonal antibody showed clear labeling of plastids but not mitochondria. These data provide cytological evidence for biparental plastid inheritance and maternal mitochondrial inheritance in these species.Correspondence and reprints: College of Life Sciences, Peking University, Beijing 100871, Peoples Republic of China. 相似文献

We identified a novel mutation of a nuclear-encoded gene, designated as CRUMPLED LEAF (CRL), of Arabidopsis thaliana that affects the morphogenesis of all plant organs and division of plastids. Histological analysis revealed that planes of cell division were distorted in shoot apical meristems (SAMs), root tips, and embryos in plants that possess the crl mutation. Furthermore, we observed that differentiation patterns of cortex and endodermis cells in inflorescence stems and root endodermis cells were disturbed in the crl mutant. These results suggest that morphological abnormalities observed in the crl mutant were because of aberrant cell division and differentiation. In addition, cells of the crl mutant contained a reduced number of enlarged plastids, indicating that the division of plastids was inhibited in the crl. The CRL gene encodes a novel protein with a molecular mass of 30 kDa that is localized in the plastid envelope. The CRL protein is conserved in various plant species, including a fern, and in cyanobacteria, but not in other organisms. These data suggest that the CRL protein is required for plastid division, and it also plays an important role in cell differentiation and the regulation of the cell division plane in plants. A possible function of the CRL protein is discussed. 相似文献

We examined pollen cells of Wisteria sinensis and Robinia pseudoacacia (Leguminosae) to determine a possible mode for cytoplasmic inheritance in these species. Epifluorescence microscopy revealed distinct mature generative cells. Mature generative cells of W. sinensis were associated with large numbers of punctuated fluorescent signals corresponding to cytoplasmic DNA aggregates, but no fluorescent signals were observed in the generative cells of R. pseudoacacia. Closer examination showed that the punctate fluorescent signals corresponded to plastid but not mitochondrial DNA. These results suggest a strong potential for paternal transmission of the plastid genome in W. sinensis. Electron microscopy confirmed the presence of plastids in the generative cells of W. sinensis and the absence of plastids in R. pseudoacacia cells due to an unequal distribution of plastids during the first pollen mitosis. Mitochondria were present and intact in the mature generative cells of both species. The lack of fluoresced mitochondrial DNA suggests a very low level of mitochondrial DNA in the cells. Immunoelectron microscopy demonstrated that the labeling of mitochondrial DNA in these cells was reduced by nearly 90% during pollen development. Such a dramatic reduction suggests an active degradation of paternal mitochondrial DNA, which may contribute greatly to the maternal inheritance of mitochondria. In short, we found that W. sinensis exhibits a strong potential for paternal transmission of plastids and that both W. sinensis and R. pseudoacacia appear to share the same mechanism for maternal mitochondrial inheritance. 相似文献

In multicellular and even single-celled organisms, individual components are interconnected at multiscale levels to produce enormously complex biological networks that help these systems maintain homeostasis for development and environmental adaptation. Systems biology studies initially adopted network analysis to explore how relationships between individual components give rise to complex biological processes. Network analysis has been applied to dissect the complex connectivity of mammalian brains across different scales in time and space in The Human Brain Project. In plant science, network analysis has similarly been applied to study the connectivity of plant components at the molecular, subcellular, cellular, organic, and organism levels. Analysis of these multiscale networks contributes to our understanding of how genotype determines phenotype. In this review, we summarized the theoretical framework of plant multiscale networks and introduced studies investigating plant networks by various experimental and computational modalities. We next discussed the currently available analytic methodologies and multi-level imaging techniques used to map multiscale networks in plants. Finally, we highlighted some of the technical challenges and key questions remaining to be addressed in this emerging field. 相似文献

Examination of the cytoplasmic DNA in male reproductive cells to determine the potential for cytoplasmic inheritance in 295 angiosperm species 总被引:12,自引:0,他引:12
Mature pollen grains of 295 angiosperm species were screened by epifluorescence microscopy for a marker that denotes the mode of cytoplasmic inheritance. We used the DNA fluorochrome DAPI (4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) for pollen cell staining. The presence or absence of fluorescence of cytoplasmic DNA in the generative cell or sperm cells was examined in each species. The species examined represented 254 genera and 98 families, and 40 of these families had not been previously studied in this regard. The cytoplasmic DNA of the generative cell or sperm cells did not fluoresce in 81% of the species examined, from 83% of the genera and 87% of the families examined, indicating the potential for maternal cytoplasmic inheritance in these species. In contrast, the male reproductive cells of 19% of the species, from 17% of the genera and 26% of the families examined, displayed fluorescence of the cytoplasmic DNA, indicating the potential for biparental cytoplasmic inheritance in these species. The results revealed the potential for biparental cytoplasmic inheritance in several species in which the inheritance mode was previously unknown, including plants in the Bignoniaceae, Cornaceae, Cruciferae (Brassicaceae), Cyperaceae, Dipsacaceae, Hydrocharitaceae, Papaveraceae, Portulacaceae, Tiliaceae, Valerianaceae, and Zingiberaceae. Electron microscopy revealed that the sperm cells of Portulaca grandiflora contain both plastid and mitochondrial DNA. However, in the generative cells of Musella lasiocarpa, the mitochondria contain DNA, but the plastids do not. These data provide a foundation for further studies of cytoplasmic inheritance in angiosperms. 相似文献

Reduction in amounts of mitochondrial DNA in the sperm cells as a mechanism for maternal inheritance in Hordeum vulgare 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
It is known that extranuclear organelle DNA is inherited maternally in the majority of angiosperms. The mechanisms for maternal inheritance have been well studied in plastids but not in mitochondria. In the present study we examined the mitochondrial DNA in the male reproductive cells of Hordeum vulgare L. by immunoelectron microscopy. Our results show that the number of anti-DNA gold particles on sections of sperm cell mitochondria decreased by 97% during pollen development. The reduction occurred rapidly in the generative cells and subsequently in the sperm cells, concomitant with a remarkable reduction in mitochondrial volume. It seems that the copy numbers of mitochondrial DNA were reduced in the male reproductive cells, which may be a possible mechanism by which paternal transmission is inhibited. Unlike mitochondria, plastids are excluded from the generative cells during the first pollen mitosis. These data suggest a mechanism for maternal inheritance of mitochondria in angiosperms and for independent control of inheritance of mitochondria and plastids in H. vulgare. 相似文献

Summary. Preprophase bands in the neck canal mother cell and the central cell of the archegonium of the fern Dryopteris crassirhizoma are observed with immunofluorescence microscopy. No phragmoplast is found during mitosis of the neck canal mother cell; however,
the phragmoplast develops very well in the central cell. The neck canal mother cell undergoes karyokinesis but not cytokinesis
and finally produces only one binucleate neck canal cell. However, the central cell undergoes cytokinesis and produces an
egg cell and a ventral canal cell. These observations suggest that the preprophase band in the neck canal mother cell loses
its function as a cytokinetic apparatus and becomes an evolutionary vestige in the development of the archegonium.
