    Taxonomic and functional implications of stigma morphology in species ofCassia, Chamaecrista, andSenna (Leguminosae:Caesalpinioideae) (1989)
    Springer
    Plant systematics and evolution 163 (1989), S. 93-105

    Notes: Abstract Two stigma forms occur inChamaecrista andSenna, but only one inCassia. In the common chambered form, a stigma pore is positioned on the reflexed style tip and is the entrance to a tapering chamber. The pore rim is fringed by hairs which vary in number, size, distribution and shape. In the alternative form the stigma is situated at the apex of the curved style and is crateriform. The crater rim is fringed by hairs of variable number and shape. The stigmatic hairs are predominantly unicellular and cutinized. Stigma and hair differences aid in the taxonomy of the genera. Their functions in pollination biology are discussed.

    Embryology and breeding systems inCrocus (Iridaceae)—a study in causes of chromosome variation (1984)
    Springer
    Plant systematics and evolution 148 (1984), S. 119-134 
    Details
    ISSN: 1615-6110
    Keywords: Angiosperms ; Iridaceae ; Crocus ; C. speciosus ; Embryo sac ; intraspecific hybrids ; chromosome numbers ; karyotypes

    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Abstract A detailed description of female reproductive structures inCrocus is given, using three different techniques: wax embedding and sectioning, SEM, and observation of cleared ovules by interference contrast microscopy. The results of this examination, and a chromosomal investigation of the intraspecific hybrids obtained by crossing specimens ofC. speciosus of different karyotypes, are used to test the hypothesis thatCrocus is apomictic. Although facultative diplospory cannot be entirely ruled out, it is suggested that apomixis is an unlikely explanation from the unusual amount of chromosomal variation found in some species ofCrocus, and alternative causes are discussed.

    A light and electron microscopic study of stigmas inAneilema andCommelina species (Commelinaceae) (1982)
    Springer
    Protoplasma 112 (1982), S. 26-36

    ISSN: 1615-6102

    Notes: Summary The stigmas of species inAneilema andCommelina are trifid and comprise elongate papillae. Progressive degeneration of papular cells is observed in stigmas from open flowers and at anthesis papillae may be moribund and collapsed. Fluid emanating from the hollow style flows onto the surface through ruptures in the cuticle at the interpapillar junctions into the interstices at maturity. This secretion stains positively for protein. Stigmas are of the “wet” type. The cuticle overlying the papillar cells is ridged and at the final stages prior to flowering this cuticle becomes detached from the underlying cellulosic wall. The sub-cuticular space so formed is filled with secretion. InAneilema species detachment of cuticle is at the papillar tip and along the lateral walls. InCommelina species the anticlinal walls of adjacent papillae are strongly attached for much of their length and thus detachment of cuticle is restricted to the papillar tip. The cell wall at the tip in both genera may proliferate forming a rudimentary transfer-cell type wall. The secretion is considered to be produced by the papillar cells. It is PAS positive but fails to stain for protein and in both the light and electron microscopes appears heterogenous. Pollen attachment, hydration, germination and early tube growth are very rapid following self-pollination, the pollen tubes entering the neck of the style within ten minutes of attachment. A unique character combination involving pollen and stigmas in these genera indicates a monophyletic origin.

    Self-incompatibility and the pollen-stigma interaction inTradescantia ohiensis rafin (1984)
    Springer
    Protoplasma 121 (1984), S. 209-213 
    Details
    ISSN: 1615-6102
    Keywords: Receptive site ; Self-incompatibility ; Stigma papillae ; Tradescantia ohiensis
    Source: Springer Online Journal Archives 1860-2000
    Topics: Biology
    Notes: Summary Self-incompatibility (SI) is reported for an accession ofTradescantia ohiensis. Pollen tube inhibition is stigmatic. The stigma is wet and papillate, the papillr surface bearing conspicuous blebs particularly in the mid- and basal regions of the cell. A proteinaceous pellicle is present on the surface of the papillar cuticle. The penetration of the stains calcofluor white and alcian blue into the cell wall of fresh stigma papillae strongly indicates that the permeability of the papillae is greatest at the mid-region of the cell and not at the tip. When single pollen grains are attached to the tip of a papilla there is either no response at all or the pollen adheres to the papilla. When attached in the mid-region pollen adheres, and often germinates. It is concluded that the sites of pollen receptivity are the mid- and basal regions of the papular cell.
