Abstract: | Variations in polyamines, proteins and RNA during in vivo gametogenesis and in vitro androgenesis in Datura innoxia and in Nicotiana tabacum were studied. Spermidine was the major polyamine during gametogenesis in both species. Marked differences in proteins, RNA and polyamines were evident during meiosis and at the first haploid mitosis. In Nicotiana an unknown amine (X60) appears at the beginning of the first haploid mitosis. At the same time a rapid increase in the concentrations of RNA and proteins is observed. In Datura, at the time of the first haploid mitosis there is large increase in amine and RNA levels followed by an arginine peak. During androgenesis, putrescine and spermidine were the major polyamines in both species. In Nicotiana during androgenesis an unknown amine (X81) was observed together with putrescine and spermidine. This unknown compound peaks during the developmental stages of embryogenesis. In Datura androgenic induction was marked by an arginine peak followed by an increase in the putrescine and spermidine levels associated with maximum RNA. These biochemical events are tentatively correlated with structural changes during pollen development. The significance of these results is discussed in relation to the role of polyamines during gametogenesis and androgenesis. |
