    Notes: Abstract The symbiosis between a bacterium and the West African rain forest yam Dioscorea sansibarensis is described for the first time at the ultrastructural level. The bacteria are harboured in glands which run the entire length of the pronounced ‘drip-tip’ leaf acumenae of the host plant. Each acumen, which may be up to 12 cm long in very large mature leaves, contains from two to six bacterial glands. The glands are kidney-shaped in cross section and contain numerous multicellular simple trichomes which arise from the epidermis of the gland floor and project into the lumen of the gland. The bacteria are Gram-negative and variously rod, ovoid, and coccoid in shape. The bacterial cells contain mesosomes, polyhydroxybutyrate granules and large electron-dense bodies. Bacteria-free plants grow more slowly and produce one yellowish-green leaf per node in contrast to the vigorous growth habit of infected plants, with two deep green leaves per node. Infected plants exposed to a variety of atmospheres containing acetylene, both in the light and in the dark, failed to reduce acetylene to ethylene, indicating that nitrogen fixation is not a function of this symbiosis.

    Location and distribution of symbiotic bacteria during floral development in Ardisia crispa (1987)

    Notes: Abstract. The location and distribution of symbiotic bacteria during floral development in Ardisia crispa (Thunb.) A.DC., a species characterized by bacterial leaf nodules, has been studied using light, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. During early floral development, bacteria in mucilage derived from host plant trichomes, become enclosed in a small conical chamber on top of the placenta, as a result of the closure and fusion of the carpel initials. The placental epidermal cells, which appear to be secretory in nature, become detached apically in places forming a network of grooves which traverse the placental surface. The symbiotic bacteria are preferentially located in these grooves. As growth and development of the placenta proceed, the grooves widen and deepen to form channels. The cells lining these channels secrete a mucilaginous material. The network of channels covers the entire placental surface and terminates at the placental margins surrounding the ovules. Bacteria are found within the channels, at the ends of the channels near the margin of the placenta, on the surface of the ovules and in the micropyle. It is suggested that these mucilage-filled channels are responsible for, and a prerequisite of, ensuring that the bacterial partner is efficiently transmitted from one host generation to the next by providing a mechanism by which the bacteria arc accurately placed within the developing seed.

    The occurrence of calyx nodules inPsychotria spp. (Rubiaceae) (1984)

    Notes: Summary The occurrence and structure of calyx nodules in the flowers of two leaf nodulated rubiaceous speciesPsychotria punctata Vatke andPsychotria kirkii Hiern. has been described for the first time at the ultrastructural level. Bacteria, resident in colleter-secreted mucilage in the space between calyx and corolla, invade stomatal pores which develop on the calyx protoderm. The bacteria proliferate in the substomatal cavity and then invade the calyx mesophyll. This invasion is most pronounced inP. punctata where the bacteria even penetrate and enter the cells of the vascular tissue. Although no sheath forms around the calyx nodules, the calyx mesophyll cells surrounded by the bacteria become identical in shape, size and secretory function to the invasive mesophyll cells of leaf nodules. The functional and evolutionary significance of calyx nodulation is discussed.

    The initiation, development and structure of root nodules inElaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae) (1985)

    Notes: Summary A correlated light and electron microscopic study was undertaken of the initiation and development of root nodules of the actinorhizal tree species,Elaeagnus angustifolia L. (Elaeagnaceae). Two pure culturedFrankia strains were used for inoculation of plants in either standing water culture or axenic tube cultures. Unlike the well known root hair infection of other actinorhizal genera such asAlnus orMyrica the mode of infection ofElaeagnus in all cases was by direct intercellular penetration of the epidermis and apoplastic colonization of the root cortex. Root hairs were not involved in this process and were not observed to be deformed or curled in the presence of the actinomyceteFrankia. In response to the invasion of the root, host cells secreted a darkly staining material into the intercellular spaces. The colonizingFrankia grew through this material probably by enzymatic digestion as suggested by clear dissolution zones around the hyphal strands. A nodule primordium was initiated from the root pericycle, well in advance of the colonizingFrankia. No random division of root cortical cells, indicative of prenodule formation was observed inElaeagnus. As the nodule primordium grew in size it was surrounded by tanninised cells of a protoperiderm. The endophyte easily traversed this protoperiderm, and once inside the nodule primordium cortex ramified within the intercellular spaces at multiple cell junctions. Invasion of the nodule cortical cells occurred when a hyphal branch of the endophyte was initiated and grew through the plant cell wall, again by apparent enzymatic digestion. The plant cell plasmalemma of invaded cells always remained intact and numerous secretory vesicles fused with it to encapsulate the advancingFrankia within a fibrous cell wall-like material. Once within the host cell some endophyte cells began to differentiate into characteristic vesicles which are the presumed site of nitrogen fixation. This study clearly demonstrates that alternative developmental pathways exist for the development of actinorhizal nitrogen-fixing root symbioses.

    Nodulation of actinorhizal plants byFrankia strains capable of both root hair infection and intercellular penetration (1986)

    Notes: Summary A morphological analysis of the initiation and development of root nodules ofElaeagnus angustifolia andMyrica cerifera inoculated with pure-culturedFrankia strains DDB 011610 or DDB 020110 was undertaken. From ultrastructural observations it was determined that both of theseFrankia strains can infectElaeagnus by an intercellular penetration mechanism andMyrica by the root hair infection mechanism. This indicates that both of these strains have the ability to infect host plant roots by either of two mechanisms. The reverse, thatElaeagnus orMyrica could be infected by both mechanisms, was not observed. The infection and nodule development processes of these two plants in combination with these strains were similar to observations made in previous studies (Miller andBaker 1985,Torrey andCallaham 1979). However, one exception was identified in the development of the prenodule ofMyrica when infected with strain 011610, in that endophytic hyphae developed vesicles within the cells of the prenodule. This event has not been described before for any of the actinorhizal genera and may be an indication of less than optimal compatibility between the host plant and the symbiont.
