    Notes: Abstract. The molecular specificity of the substances which have auxin activity implies the existence of specific receptors. There have been many efforts to identify and isolate these receptors on the assumption that they should bind auxins with affinities coordinate to their activities in bioassays. However, the known complexity of auxin uptake and metabolism make this assumption seriously deficient. Although several such binding sites have, in fact, been identified, proof of a connection between these sites and auxin action has been lacking. Definite proof would include a requirement that the site be reconstituted, together with the appropriate macro-molecular machinery, to construct a model of an auxin response. At the moment, our ignorance of the biochemistry and molecular biology of auxin growth responses makes such a proof difficult. However, two avenues of research promise to accelerate the rate of progress. The increasingly potent tools of molecular biology should soon allow the dissection of auxin-regulated gene expression, while improved knowledge of plasma membrane proton pumps and the mechanism of cell wall biosynthesis should produce, in parallel, an understanding of the auxin regulation of acid growth.

    Chemical agents that inhibit pollen development: tools for research (1991)
    Springer

    Notes: Summary Several unrelated compounds are known to selectively inhibit the development of the male gametophyte. When applied at suitable dosages to plants at the appropriate stages of anther development, these substances block the formation of fertile pollen. The affected stage of pollen development is characteristic of the specific chemical structure of the compound, ranging from effects on microspore meiosis to the formation of pollen defective in the ability to germinate or fertilize. The range of effects mediated by these substances, and by known male-sterile mutants, indicates that microspore development has several critical phases that are particularly sensitive to fatal inhibition. We propose that chemical inhibitors of pollen development deserve attention as tools for elucidating the regulation of pollen development.

    Chemical agents that inhibit pollen development: effects of the phenyl-cinnoline carboxylates SC-1058 and SC-1271 on the ultrastructure of developing wheat anthers (Triticum aestivum L. var Yecora rojò) (1993)

    Notes: Summary Phenylcinnoline carboxylate compounds SC-1058 and SC-1271 cause complete male sterility in wheat when applied at suitable dosages at the pre-meiotic stage of anther development. Anthers from treated and untreated plants were compared using light and electron microscopy from the pre-meiotic stage through the formation of nearly mature pollen. Overall anther development is gradually slowed in treated plants and pollen development is generally arrested in the late prevacuolate or early vacuolate microspore stage, although the first pollen mitosis does sometimes occur. The sporopollenin-containing exine walls are thinner, and show abnormally developed foot and tectum layers with sparse connecting baculi. Microspore cytoplasm degenerates and the cells eventually collapse. At the early, prevacuolate, free microspore stage treated tapetal cells hypertrophy, expanding into the locule. They contain abnormally large vacuoles that appear to form from the fusion of secretory vesicles, and some vacuoles contain electrondense deposits. The sporopollenin-containing orbicular wall and Ubisch bodies are retarded in their development and are structurally deformed. Acetolysis of whole anthers and of thick sections shows that the sporopollen-in-containing structures of treated materials are greatly reduced in thickness and are less rigid than in the control. We conclude that application of these compounds causes interference with the secretory function of tapetal cells which supplies sporopollenin cell-wall polymers to the exine of the microspores and to the tapetal orbicular wall and associated Ubisch bodies. Interference with the tapetal secretion of other nutrients required for microspore development is strongly suggested.
