Seasonal changes in the spermatogenic epithelium of adult Japanese macaques (Macaca fuscata fuscata)

A histological study was undertaken to clarify seasonal changes in the spermatogenic epithelium of Japanese macaques. Testicular tissue samples were excised by biopsies from five adult laboratory-maintained males in mating and non-mating seasons. The samples were fixed with Bouin's solution, embedded in paraffin, and stained with PAS and hematoxylin. Microscopic observations on cross-sections of seminiferous tubules revealed that the seminiferous epithelium in the mating season was thicker than in the non-mating season. PAS-stained granules were found in some of the dark A-type spermatogonia, which significantly increased in the non-mating season. Spermatids of the steps preceding the appearance of the acrosomic cap in stages I to III were observed significantly more often than those in the step coinciding with the formation of the acrosomic cap in stage IV. In stage I, the ratio of mature spermatids or spermatozoa to immature spermatids in the mating season was higher than that in the non-mating season. These findings suggest that spermiogenesis, as well as spermatocytogenesis, is inhibited in the non-mating season.     

Strong synergistic effects of gibberellins with the synthetic cytokinin N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea on parthenocarpic fruit set and some other fruit characteristics of apple

The induction of parthenocarpic fruit set was investigated using the apple cvs. Golden Delicious and Jonagold. The gibberellins GA₃, GA₄, GA₅ and GA₇ and the synthetic phenylurea-type cytokinin CPPU (N-(2-chloro-4-pyridyl)-N-phenylurea), were applied alone and in combination to unpollinated flowers at the end of petal fall. Gibberellins induced only a marginal final set of parthenocarpic fruits. CPPU sprays were more effective, particularly in the first year. When applied in combination, CPPU and gibberellins had a positive synergistic effect on parthenocarpic fruit set and fruit size, but a negative effect on flower induction the next year. After CPPU + GA sprays, percent fruit set was similar, or greater, compared to natural pollinated trees. The parthenocarpic fruits induced by CPPU + GA had an increased length to diameter ratio. CPPU stimulated, and GA₄ and GA₇ reduced, the russeting of the parthenocarpic fruits. The internal quality of the fruits was hardly affected, but Ca-deficiency symptoms occurred more frequently in parthenocarpic fruits.     

离体条件下诱导番茄果实状结构的再生

以番茄（Ｌｙｃｏｐｅｒｓｉｃｏｎ ｅｓｃｕｌｅｎｔｕｍ Ｍｉｌｌ．）雌蕊和幼果的组织作外植体可以诱导果实状结构的再生。这种果实状结构在离体条件下能培养成熟,成熟时具红色。解剖观察表明：果实状结构由果肉和包围在外面的果皮组成,无种子和胎座。外源激素和外植体年龄的试验揭示：１．以雌蕊组织作外植体时,仅附加外源细胞分裂素就可以诱导果实状结构的再生,外源生长素似乎不是必需的,最高的诱导频率（５０．０％ ）出现在仅附加玉米素０．５ ｍ ｇ／Ｌ的组合。２．从直径４—１２ ｍ ｍ 的幼果上分离的外植体在附加外源激素的培养基上均可诱导果实状结构的再生,但只有从直径８ ｍ ｍ 的果实分离的组织块作外植体并将它们培养在６－ＢＡＰ ２ ｍ ｇ／Ｌ,ＮＡＡ０．１ ｍ ｇ／Ｌ的培养基上时,果实状结构的诱导频率最高（６２．５％ ）。为了探讨在果实状结构再生中表现出来的细胞全能性的表达,提出了植物细胞全能性的部分表达（Ｐａｒｔｉａｌｅｘｐｒｅｓｓｉｏｎ ｏｆｐｌａｎｔ ｃｅｌｌｔｏｔｉｐｏｔｅｎｃｙ）的概念并进行了讨论。     

Use of lysophosphatidylethanolamine, a natural lipid, to retard tomato leaf and fruit senescence

We studied the influence of lysophosphatidylethanolamine (LPE) on the pattern and rate of ethylene production and respiration of tomato ( Lycopersicon esculentum cv. H7155) leaflets and fruit. Leaflets that had been senescing on the plant showed a climacteric-like rise in ethylene production but not in respiration rate which decreased continuously with leaf age. Detached leaflets had a climacteric-like pattern in respiration whether they were incubated in complete darkness or in light. Detached leaflets incubated in the dark had higher rates of ethylene production and CO₂ evolution than did light-incubated leaves. There was no change in the pattern of ethylene production or CO₂ evolution as a result of LPE treatment. However, LPE-treated attached and detached leaflets had consistently lower rates of CO₂ evolution. The reduction in CO₂ evolution by LPE was most pronounced at the climacteric-like peak of the detached leaves. LPE-treated leaflets had a higher chlorophyll content and fresh weight and lower electrolyte leakage than the control. LPE-treated fruits had lower rates of ethylene and CO₂ production than did the control. LPE-treated fruits also had higher pericarp firmness and lower electrolyte leakage than the control. The results of the present study provide evidence that LPE is able to retard senescence of attached leaves and detached leaves and tomato fruits. Several recent studies suggest that lysolipids can act in a specific manner as metabolic regulators. Our results suggest a specific role of lysolipid LPE in aging and senescence     

Internal carbon dioxide and ethylene levels in ripening tomato fruit attached to or detached from the plant

The carbon dioxide and ethylene concentrations in tomato fruit ( Lycopersicon esculentum cv. Castelmart) and their stage of ripeness (characteristic external color changes) were periodically measured in fruit attached to and detached from the plant. An external collection apparatus was attached to the surface of individual tomato fruit to permit non-destructive sampling of internal gases. The concentration of carbon dioxide and ethylene in the collection apparatus reached 95% of the concentration in the fruit after 8 h. Gas samples were collected every 24 h. A characteristic climacteric surge in carbon dioxide (2-fold) and ethylene (10-fold) concentration occurred coincident with ripening of detached tomato fruit. Fruit attached to the plant exhibited a climacteric rise in ethylene (20-fold) concentration during ripening, but only a linear increase in carbon dioxide concentration. The carbon dioxide concentration increases in attached fruit during ripening, but the increase is a continuation of the linear increase seen in both attached and detached fruit before ripening and does not exhibit the characteristic pattern normally associated with ripening climacteric fruit. In tomato fruit, it appears that a respiratory climacteric per se, which has been considered intrinsic to the ripening of certain fruit, may not be necessary for the ripening of "climacteric" fruit at all, but instead may be an artifact of using harvested fruit.     

Accumulation of calcium, potassium and magnesium in apple fruits under various conditions of humidity

In each of two experiments done under controlled conditions, starting at bloom, 4 humidity treatments were applied to potted trees of apple ( Malus pumila Mill. cv. Cox's Orange Pippin), i. e. in experiment 1: (1) high humidity throughout, (2) low humidity throughout, (3) low humidity for 7 weeks followed by high humidity for 6-7 weeks, and (4) the reverse (first high and then low humidity); in experiment 2: (1) day/night humidity high/high, (2) low/low, (3) low/high, and (4) high/low.
In both experiments high humidity favoured shoot growth appreciably. Change from low to high humidity after 7 weeks resulted in some growth stimulation but in the reverse situation growth was markedly reduced. Shoot growth responded little to different night humidities. In the two experiments fruit growth was little affected by treatments. In experiment 2 irrespective of night humidity, water consumption was higher at low than at high day humidity. In the high/low humidity regime water use during the night was high and leaf water potential low, relatively; during the day water potential was little affected by treatments.
At any time leaf Ca and Mg were clearly highest at low day humidity; night humidity had no effect. Leaf K did not respond to treatments. Fruit Ca at high humidity throughout was lower than at low humidity throughout. Increasing humidity later in the season was ineffective but a decrease at that time tended to reduce fruit Ca slightly. The clearly lowest Ca values occurred in the high/low day/night treatment. Fruit K and Mg were not or hardly affected by treatments.
The findings are discussed in terms of humidity effects on transpiration, shoot and fruit growth, and xylem mineral concentration and ion exchange translocation along the xylem walls.     

Fruit developmental regulation of the kiwifruit actinidin promoter is conserved in transgenic petunia plants

We have examined the expression of actinidin, a cysteine protease found in kiwifruit, over the course of fruit development. Protease activity was first seen in fruit that had reached about half their final weight, and rose to high levels at harvest. The 5-flanking region (nucleotides –1301 to +58) of a kiwifruit actinidin gene was fused to the -glucuronidase (GUS)-coding region, and the chimaeric gene was introduced into transgenic petunia plants. Induction of the GUS gene was observed during the later stages of seed pod development, closely resembling the pattern of actinidin induction in fruit tissues of kiwifruit. Some GUS expression was also detected in the vascular system of the receptacle, leaves, stems and roots. A shorter promoter fragment consisting of nucleotides –115 to +58 conferred similar spatial and temporal regulation in some of the transgenic plants.
