Summary A one hour exposure to 3 M amiprophos-methyl (APM) depolymerizes all MT arrays in cells from higher plant suspension cultures. On removal of APM, MT repolymerization sites are detected using immunofluorescent staining. During interphase, Mt arrays return uniformly dispersed across the cell cortex with transverse arrays in elongated cells and random arrays in isodiametric cells. During cell division, MT arrays return as follows: Prophase-MT arrays return in association with the nuclear envelope. Metaphase-MTs return associated with chromosomes. Teleophase-MTs return in apparent association with the reforming nuclear envelope and as aberrant phragmoplasts. MTOCs in higher plant cells may be membrane associated at many stages in the cell cycle. Isolated, condensed chromosomes are capable of nucleating MTs, which can attain small, spindle-like configurations.Abbreviations APM

Summary Xylogenesis has been studied in primary suspension cultures ofZinnia elegans L.: The wall patterns produced in culture closely resemble those described for intact tissues (annular, spiral, reticulate, scalariform, pitted). Using fluorescence microscopy and immuno-cytochemical techniques we have followed both the changes in wall deposition and microtubule organization during xylogenesis. Calcofluor white has been used to detect secondary wall deposition before it can be observed using either phase contrast or polarization optics. The development of tracheary elements can be divided into three stages: 1. microtubules grouped into bands without secondary wall deposition evident; 2. groups of microtubules subtending wall material only visible using Calcofluor white; 3. a complex microtubule pattern reflected by well developed wall thickenings detected using Calcofluor, phase contrast and polarization optics. 相似文献

Cortical microtubules wind around plant cells describing flat, medium or steeply pitched helices. Experiments now suggest that these arrays are dynamically interconvertible — providing a spring-like device that is sensitive to environmental cues and shifts the axis of cell expansion through 90°. 相似文献

The effects of microtubule and microfilament disrupting agents on cytoskeletal arrays and wall deposition in developing cotton fibers 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
R. W. Seagull 《Protoplasma》1990,159(1):44-59
Summary The effects of various cytoskeletal disrupting agents (cholchicine, oryzalin, trifluralin, taxol, cytochalasins B and D) on microtubules, microfilaments and wall microfibril deposition were monitored in developing cotton fibers, using immunocytochemical and fluorescence techniques. Treatment with 10–4 M colchicine, 10–6 M trifluralin or 10–6 M oryzalin resulted in a reduction in the number of microtubules, however, the drug-stable microtubules still appear to influence wall deposition. Treatment with 10–5 M taxol increased the numbers of microtubules present within 15 minutes of application. New microtubules were aligned parallel to the existing ones, however, some evidence of random arrays was observed. Microtubules stabilized with taxol appeared to function in wall organization but do not undergo normal re-orientations during development. Microtubule disrupting agent had no detectable affect on the microfilament population. Exposure to either 4×10–5 M cytochalasin B or 2×10–6M cytochalasin D resulted in a disruption of microfilaments and a re-organization of microtubule arrays. Treatment with either cytochalasin caused a premature shift in the orientation of microtubules in young fibers, whereas in older fibers the microtubule arrays became randomly organized. These observations indicate that microtubule populations during interphase are heterogeneous, differing at least in their susceptibility to disruption by depolymerizing agents. Changes in microtubule orientation (induced by cytochalasin) indicate that microfilaments may be involved in regulating microtubule orientation during development. 相似文献

The monoterpene derivative, 2-methylisoborneol (MIB), is produced by many blue-green algae and often is responsible for the “musty” taste/odor in aquaculturally raised finfish and potable water supplies. Although previous researchers have suggested that taste/odor metabolites are partitioned among cell constituents and that coregulation with pigment biosynthesis occurs, no structural evidence for these hypotheses exists. MIB was localized in cells of Oscillatoria limosa (Roth) Agardh at the ultrastructural level using standard gold-labeled antibody techniques. There was no apparent relationship between age of the cells and MIB synthesis; cells that were and were not undergoing active division had similar amounts of MIB label. There was no consistent partitioning of MIB label within cells. However, occasionally, specific label was observed along photosynthetic lamellae, suggesting a potential linkage of MIB synthesis and/or binding to the pigment systems. 相似文献

Internodal elongation and orientation of cellulose microfibrils and microtubules in deepwater rice 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
Excised stem sections of deepwater rice (Oryza sativa L.) containing the highest internode were used to study the induction of rapid internodal elongation by gibberellin (GA). It has been shown before that this growth response is based on enhanced cell division in the intercalary meristem and on increased cell elongation. In both GA-treated and control stem sections, the basal 5-mm region of the highest internode grows at the fastest rate. During 24 h of GA treatment, the internodal elongation zone expands from 15 to 35 mm. Gibberellin does not promote elongation of internodes from which the intercalary meristem has been excised. The orientation of cellulose microfibrils (CMFs) is a determining factor in cell growth. Elongation is favored when CMFs are oriented transversely to the direction of growth while elongation is limited when CMFs are oriented in the oblique or longitudinal direction. The orientation of CMFs in parenchymal cells of GA-treated and control internodes is transverse throughout the internode, indicating that CMFs do not restrict elongation of these cells. Changes in CMF orientation were observed in epidermal cells, however. In the basal 5-mm zone of the internode, which includes the intercalary meristem, CMFs of the epidermal cell walls are transversely oriented in both GA-treated and control stem sections. In slowly growing control internodes, CMF orientation changes to the oblique as cells are displaced from this basal 5-mm zone to the region above it. In GA-treated rapidly growing internodes, the reorientation of CMFs from the transverse to the oblique is more gradual and extends over the 35-mm length of the elongation zone. The CMFs of older epidermal cells are obliquely oriented in control and GA-treated internodes. The orientation of the CMFs parallels that of the cortical microtubules. This is consistent with the hypothesis that cortical microtubules determine the direction of CMF deposition. We conclude that GA acts on cells that have transversely oriented CMFs but does not promote growth of cells whose CMFs are already obliquely oriented at the start of GA treatment. 相似文献

A highly conserved nuclear gene for low-level phylogenetics: elongation factor-1 alpha recovers morphology-based tree for heliothine moths 总被引:8,自引:2,他引:6

Molecular systematists need increased access to nuclear genes. Highly
conserved, low copy number protein-encoding nuclear genes have attractive
features for phylogenetic inference but have heretofore been applied mostly
to very ancient divergences. By virtue of their synonymous substitutions,
such genes should contain a wealth of information about lower-level
taxonomic relationships as well, with the advantage that amino acid
conservatism makes both alignment and primer definition straightforward. We
tested this postulate for the elongation factor-1 alpha (EF-1 alpha) gene
in the noctuid moth subfamily Heliothinae, which has probably diversified
since the middle Tertiary. We sequenced 1,240 bp in 18 taxa representing
heliothine groupings strongly supported by previous morphological and
allozyme studies. The single most parsimonious gene tree and the
neighbor-joining tree for all nucleotides show almost complete concordance
with the morphological tree. Homoplasy and pairwise divergence levels are
low, transition/transversion ratios are high, and phylogenetic information
is spread evenly across gene regions. The EF-1 alpha gene and presumably
other highly conserved genes hold much promise for phylogenetics of
Tertiary age eukaryote groups.

Cultured chick embryo fibroblasts derived from skin and skeletal muscle exhibit hyaluronidase activity both associated with the cell layer and secreted into the medium. Although both forms of the enzyme have a number of similar characteristics (R.W. Orkin and B.P. Toole, 1980, J. Biol. CHem. 255), they differ in thermal stability at neutral pH and in behavior on ion-exchange chromatography. Both forms of the enzyme are equally stable at acidic pH for long intervals, but the cell-associated hyaluronidase is significantly less stable than the secreted froms at neutral pH and at temperatures more than or equal to 30 degrees C. Neither the presence of proteases nor inhibitors of hyaluronidase appear to be involved in the cell-asspcoated enzyme. Chromatography of the two forms of hyaluronidase on carboxymethyl cellulose reveals that most (60-90 percent) of the secreted form of the enzyme elutes at a lower ionic strength than the cell- associated enzyme. Treatment of the secreted form of hyaluronidase with neuraminidase shifts its elution profile on carboxymethyl cellulose toward that of the cell-associated form, and also decreases its thermal stability at neutral pH. In contrast, treatment of the secreted form of hyaluronidase with alkaline phosphatase has no detectable effect. These data suggest that the secreted hyaluronidase differs from the cellular form in possessing additional sialic acid residues which endow the former with increased stability in the extracellular milieu. 相似文献

Localization of sucrose synthase and callose in freeze-substituted secondary-wall-stage cotton fibers 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Summary. Methods for cryogenic fixation, freeze substitution, and embedding were developed to preserve the cellular structure and
protein localization of secondary-wall-stage cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) fibers accurately for the first time. Perturbation by specimen handling was minimized by freezing fibers still attached
to a seed fragment within 2 min after removal of seeds from a boll still attached to the plant. These methods revealed native
ultrastructure, including numerous active Golgi bodies, multivesicular bodies, and proplastids. Immunolocalization in the
context of accurate structure was accomplished after freeze substitution in acetone only. Quantitation of immunolabeling identified
sucrose synthase both near the cortical microtubules and plasma membrane and in a proximal exoplasmic zone about 0.2 μm thick.
Immunolabeling also showed that callose (β-1,3-glucan) was codistributed with sucrose synthase within this exoplasmic zone.
Similar results were obtained from cultured cotton fibers. The distribution of sucrose synthase is consistent with its having
a dual role in cellulose and callose synthesis in secondary-wall-stage cotton fibers.
