Myosin associated with the male germ cells of angiosperms interacts with actin, promoting transport of the non-motile generative
and later sperm cells in the pollen tube. Myosin localizing on the sperm cell plasma membrane seems negligible in Plumbago, as reflected by the absence of: (i) anti-myosin labeling using immunoelectron microscopy, (ii) sperm motility on actin matrices,
and (iii) electrophoretic movement changes after addition of antibody. Sperm cells injected directly into actively streaming
Nitella internodal cells, however, follow actin bundles and their movement is sensitive to ATP and Mg2+. This may be based on simple charge binding since negatively charged latex beads also migrate on actin, whereas neutral or
positively-charged latex beads do not. Sperm cells are negatively charged according to capillary microelectrophoresis, whereas
killed sperm cells, which are positively charged do not migrate. The sperm cell that normally fertilizes the egg has a higher
calculated charge (8.277 × 103 esu/cm2) compared with the sperm cell that fuses with the central cell (6.120 × 103 esu/cm2).

The formation of chlortetracycline(CTC)-induced wall appositions (callose plugs) in Nitella flexilis (L.)Ag. was pH-dependent in the range between 4.3-8.3. Plug number and plug diameter increased with the pH of the CTC solution. At pH 4.3 plug formation was light-dependent and occurred below the alkaline regions of the cell surface which form during photo synthetic assimilation of HCO3?. Inhibition of photosynthesis by 3–(3′,4′-dichlorophenyl)-1, 1-dimethylurea prevented plug formation in the light. Dark-treated cells could be induced to form plugs by raising the pH of the CTC solution. The formation of large but incomplete plugs in the presence of cytochalasin B is explained by the formation of numerous weak alkaline sites. I suggest that CTC enhances locally the Ca2+content at the cytoplasm near the plasmamembrane. The ionophoric character of CTC is probably more pronounced at high pH mainly because of a weaker binding with cations and a closer contact with the membrane. 相似文献

Summary Exchange isotherms of Cu2+
vs Zn2+-ions were performed on the cell wall of a fresh water alga,Nitella flexilis. The relevant thermodynamic parameters are calculated. The cell wall absorbs copper selectively. The selectivity is explained
by a stronger chelation of the cupric ion, due to the Jahn-Teller effect. The wall acts like a two-site model, based on the
nature of the ligands: a first group of aminesites reacts exothermically and a second of hydroxylic-carboxylic sites of lower
affinity, reacts endothermically. 相似文献

This study focused on a method based on the capacity of cationic dyes to stain only the nucleus and chromosomes in cells subjected to either acid or alkaline hydrolysis. The method and the squash were optimized for the Characeae and were described in detail. Nuclei from vegetative shoot apices and antheridial filament cells of unfixed, fixed and herbarium material of Nitella opaca were investigated using the Azure A or Toulidine Blue stains. Comparisons with some other staining methods, used in the previous studies, were also reported. The Azure A/Toulidine Blue method is useful to obtain clear images of chromosome morphology comparable or higher to that obtained with Feulgen or Aceto‐Orcein. It requires little time and a less complicated procedure in comparison with other staining methods. 相似文献

In an attempt to reconstruct the natural taxonomic system for Nitella, 17 species of Nitella subgenus Tieffallenia were reexamined using SEM observations of the internal morphology of the oospore wall (IMOW) and phylogenetic analyses of 4553 base pairs from multiple DNA markers (atpB, rbcL, psaB, and ITS‐5.8S rRNA genes). Our SEM observations identified three types of IMOW: homogeneous (HG), weakly spongy (W‐SG), and strongly spongy (S‐SG) types. Based on differences in the IMOW, species with reticulate or tuberculate oospore wall ornamentation in the external morphology of the oospore wall (EMOW) were subdivided into two distinct groups (characterized by the HG or S‐SG types of IMOW, respectively), which were robustly separated from each other in our molecular phylogenetic analyses. In our molecular phylogeny, the subgenus Tieffallenia consisted of four robust monophyletic groups—three clades of the HG type and a spongy (S‐SG and W‐SG) type clade—that were characterized by differences in the IMOW and EMOW. In addition, our SEM observations and sequence data verified the distinct status of five species (N. japonica Allen, N. oligospira A. Braun, N. vieillardii stat. nov., N. imperialis stat. nov., and N. morongii Allen) that R. D. Wood had assigned as infraspecific taxa. Moreover, our SEM observations of the IMOW also suggested that N. megaspora (J. Groves) Sakayama originally identified by LM includes at least two distinct species, characterized by W‐SG and S‐SG types of IMOW, respectively. 相似文献

Summary. The noninvasive infrared laser micromanipulation technique (optical tweezers, optical trapping) and centrifugation were used
to study susception and perception, the early events in the gravitropic pathway of tip-growing characean rhizoids and protonemata.
Reorientation of the growth direction in both cell types was only initiated when at least 2–3 statoliths settled on specific
areas of the plasma membrane. This statolith-sensitive plasma membrane area is confined to the statolith region (10–35 μm
behind the tip) in positively gravitropic rhizoids, whereas in negatively gravitropic protonemata, this area is limited to
the apical plasma membrane (0–10 μm). Statolith sedimentation towards the sensitive plasma membrane areas is mediated by the
concerted action of actin and gravity. The process of sedimentation, the pure physical movement, of statoliths is not sufficient
to initiate graviresponses in both cell types. It is concluded that specific statolith-sensitive plasma membrane areas play
a crucial role in the signal transduction pathway of gravitropism. These areas may represent the primary sites for gravity
perception and may transform the information derived from the gravity-induced statolith sedimentation into physiological signals
which trigger the molecular mechanisms of the opposite graviresponses in characean rhizoids and protonemata.

Oospores of Nitella furcata subsp. megacarpa (Allen emend. Wood) were collected from an oospore bank in the sediments of Lake George, New York. Incubated at constant temperatures, all or nearly all of the oospores germinated when exposed to a brief pulse of red light when the annual window of germinability was open. The window seems related to the annual cycle of sediment temperatures. It is open in spring and closes wit the onset of a secondary dormacncy in the summer. Oospores in storage follow a parallel path if held at 18°C, a summer equivalent temperature; the window remains open indefinitely if the oospores are held at 4°C. Attention is drawn to the similarity if the cyclic window of germinability in seeds of summer annuals and oospores of N. furcata. 相似文献

Numerous forms of cytochalasins have been identified and, although they share common biological activity, they may differ considerably in potency. We investigated the effects of cytochalasins A, B, C, D, E, H and J and dihydrocytochalasin B in an ideal experimental system for cell motility, the giant internodal cells of the characean alga Nitella pseudoflabellata. Cytochalasins D (60 microM) and H (30 microM) were found to be most suited for fast and reversible inhibition of actin-based motility, while cytochalasins A and E arrested streaming at lower concentrations but irreversibly. We observed no clear correlation between the ability of cytochalasins to inhibit motility and the actual disruption of the subcortical actin bundle tracks on which myosin-dependent motility occurs. Indeed, the actin bundles remained intact at the time of streaming cessation and disassembled only after one to several days' treatment. Even when applied at concentrations lower than that required to inhibit cytoplasmic streaming, all of the cytochalasins induced reorganization of the more labile cortical actin filaments into actin patches, swirling clusters or short rods. Latrunculins A and B arrested streaming only after disrupting the subcortical actin bundles, a process requiring relatively high concentrations (200 microM) and very long treatment periods of >1 d. Latrunculins, however, worked synergistically with cytochalasins. A 1 h treatment with 15 nM latrunculin A and 4 microM cytochalasin D induced reversible fragmentation of subcortical actin bundles and arrested cytoplasmic streaming. Our findings provide insights into the mechanisms by which cytochalasins and latrunculins interfere with characean actin to inhibit motility. 相似文献

Summary. 10 nm diameter filaments were observed in whole-mount preparations of algae of diverse phyla: Acetabularia acetabulum and A. major (Chlorophyta), Chara australis and Nitella flexilis (Charophyta), and Poterioochromonas malhamensis (Chrysophyta). A polyclonal antibody raised against a basic, 50 kDa DNA-binding protein of A. acetabulum stains the filaments of A. acetabulum and A. major as well as of C. australis and N. flexilis. While in the perinuclear region of A. acetabulum and A. major and throughout the cytoplasm of P. malhamensis the 10 nm filaments have a smooth appearance, in the stalk of A. acetabulum and A. major they are densely covered by globular structures; in C. australis and N. flexilis they are less frequently associated with such material. The morphology of a part of the globular particles is quite reminiscent
of prosomes. A monoclonal antibody elicited against prosomes isolated from A. acetabulum indeed decorates the globular particles on the A. acetabulum and A. major filaments. The possible role of these filament-particle associations is discussed.

In this paper a new species of Nitella, N. vermiformis, from Sichuan is reported. The
new species is the similar to Nitella procera Han from Yunnan. But gametangia of the latter
grow in every furcte, and fertile branchlets are similar to sterile ones. There are not central
radial branchlets and accessory branchlets in first furcate branchlet; the membrane ofoospore is vermiform-processed. 相似文献
