花粉求亲记

白的,黄的,粉的,红的……一只小蜜蜂吮吸过无数花朵的＂甜蜜＂,携带着无数粒花粉,飞到一朵苹果花上给这些花粉＂求亲＂。接下来就是,一部分幸运的花粉被苹果的雌蕊柱头所接受,在阳光的照耀和雨露的滋润下,它开始萌发并长出花粉管,花粉管一点点伸长,到达雌蕊的胚珠,最终在这里完成了受精作用,在不远的将来,一个小苹果就要诞生了。     

Application of Non-invasive Microsensing System to Simultaneously Measure Both H^＋ and O2 Fluxes Around the Pollen Tube

Various Ionic and molecular activities in the extraceUular environment are vital to plant cell physiological processes. A noninvasive microsensing system （NMS） based on either the scanning ion-selective electrode technique （SIET） or the scanning polarographlc electrode technique （SPET） is able to obtain information regarding the transportation of various Ions/molecules in Intact samples under normal physiological conditions. The two-probe simultaneous test system （2STS） Is an Integrated system composed of SIET, SPET, and a Xu-Kunkel sampling protocol. In the present study, 2STS was able to simultaneously measure fluxes of H^＋ and O2 of the Uly （Lillum Iongiflorum Thunb. cv. Ace） pollen tube while avoiding interference between the two probes. The results Indicate that the proton fluxes were effluxes, whereas the oxygen fluxes were Influxes, and they were closely correlated to each other surrounding the constitutive alkaline band region. Specifically, when the proton effluxes increased, the oxygen Influxes also increased. Therefore, the hypothesis of condensed active mitochondria existing in the alkalized area of the pollen tube proposed by Hepler＇s group is supported.     

初生根伸长对环境响应的数学模型

在根组织细胞分裂和细胞体积增大亚过程基础上,建立了一个综合根生长特征参数和环境影响在内的单根伸长的数学模型,同时实验观测了大豆根在不同的环境水势下的生长过程。模型计算结果与实验结果吻合较好。最后利用模型探讨了根伸长对环境因子变化的响应,以及根内水势分布。
