    Notes: Summary The immunoreactivity of atrial natriuretic peptide and ultrastructure of cardiocytes were examined in 5 species each of freshwater and seawater teleosts, as well as in 2 species each of elasmobranchs and cyclostomes. Immunoreactivity was strong in the atria of Cyprinus carpio, Anguilla japonica and Conger myriaster, rather weak in atria of Channa maculata, Lepomis macrochirus, Salmo gairdneri, Oplegnathus fasciatus and Eptatretus burgeri, very weak in atria of Pagrus major, Trachurus japonicus and Triakis scyllia, and not detectable in atria of Hexagrammos otakii, Narke japonica and Lampetra japonica. The immunoreactivity of the atrial cardiocytes was generally stronger in freshwater than seawater fish. Ventricular immunoreactivity was detected only in 7 species, always being weaker than that observed in the atrium. Ultrastructurally, however, secretory granules were found in atria and ventricles of all species examined, being more frequent in the former than the latter. By radioimmunoassay, immunoreactive ANP was detected in the extracts of blood plasma and both atrial and ventricular tissues of all species examined. There were no statistically significant differences in the values between freshwater and seawater species.

    Notes: Summary In order to compare cell wall formation in gymnosperm pollen with that in angiosperm pollen, the distribution of cell wall constituents in the pollen grain and pollen tube ofPinus densiflora was studied immunocytochemically with monoclonal antibodies JIM 5 (against non- or poorly esterified pectin), JIM 7 (against highly esterified pectin), JIM 13 (against arabinogalactan proteins, AGPs), and LM 2 (against AGPs containing glucuronic acid). In the pollen grain wall, only the outer layer of the intine was labeled with JIM 5 and weakly with JIM 7. The tube wall was scarcely labeled with JIM 5 and very weakly labeled with JIM 7. In contrast, the whole of both the intine and the tube wall was strongly labeled with JIM 13 and LM 2, and the generative-cell wall was also labeled only with LM 2. The hemicellulose B fraction, which is the main polysaccharide fraction from the pollen tube wall, reacted strongly with JIM 13 and especially LM 2, but not with antipectin antibodies. These results demonstrate that the wall constituents and their localization inP. densiflora pollen are considerably different from those reported in angiosperm pollen and suggest that the main components of the cell wall ofP. densiflora pollen are arabinogalactan and AGPs containing glucuronic acid.

    Notes: Large quantities of intact generative cells and their protoplasts were isolated from pollen protoplasts of four liliaceous plants, and their structural features were investigated. The generative cells, liberated from the vegetative cell cytoplasm of the pollen protoplasts, were initially spindle-shaped with two long, oppositely oriented extensions, and were surrounded by two cell membranes, one on each side of a wall of uniform thickness. The generative nuclei, stained with 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI), showed ellipsoidal and highly condensed chromatin, whereas the generative cell cytoplasm, whose quantity was widely different from species to species, showed no fluorescence, suggesting the absence of plastid and mitochondria! DNA, although many mitochondria were present. The isolated generative cells, which were spindle-shaped at first, became spherical in shape in vitro. Immunocytochemistry and transmission electron microscopy revealed that this change was associated with the depolymerization of an axial array of microtubules present in generative cells in situ. These results are discussed in relation to the function of the generative cell within the bicellular pollen of angiosperms.
