    Notes: Summary Electrophoresis on acrylamide gel of basic proteins from the fungusAllomyces arbuscula (Butl.) yielded at least 16 bands. No differences were found between the banding-patterns of sporophyte and gametophyte. Extraction of histones from 1000 mg lyophilized mycelium and subsequent electrophoresis produced no bands. If histones are present at all, their concentration must be extremely low (〈 5 µg/1000 mg material).

    Notes: Abstract Citrus limon has a “wet” stigma which can be divided in two zones: a glandular superficial one formed by papillae, and a non-glandular one formed by parenchymatic cells. The stigmatic exudate is produced by the papillae after the latter have reached their ultimate size. The papillae of the mature pistil are of varying size and composition. Both the unicellular and multicellular ones are present. The cells at the base of the papillae are rich in cytoplasm, whereas the tip cells are vacuolated. Histochemical analysis has shown that the exudate of Citrus is composed of lipids, polysaccharides, and proteins. Our results indicate that the lipidic component is produced and secreted first, followed by production and secretion of the polysaccharidic component. The lipidic component of the exudate is produced in the basal papillae cells and accumulates as droplets in dilated parts of the smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER). Subsequently the lipid droplets are transported to the plasma membrane, and transferred by the latter into the cell walls. Then the exudate component is accumulated in the intercellular spaces and in the middle lamellar regions of the walls. Subsequently, the polysaccharidic component of the exudate is produced and secreted by the tip cells of the papillae.

    Notes: Summary This paper describes the unequal distribution of plastids in the developing microspores of Impatiens walleriana and Impatiens glandulifera which leads to the exclusion of plastids from the generative cell. During the development from young microspore to the onset of mitosis a change in the organization of the cytoplasm and distribution of organelles is gradually established. This includes the formation of vacuoles at the poles of the elongate-shaped microspores, the movement of the nucleus to a position near the microspore wall in the central part of the cell, and the accumulation of the plastids to a position near the wall at the opposite side of the cell. In Impatiens walleriana, the accumulated plastids are separated from each other by ER cisterns, and some mitochondria are also accumulated. In both Impatiens species, the portion of the microspore in which the generative cell will be formed is completely devoid of plastids at the time mitosis starts.

    Notes: Summary The development of the transmitting tissue of the style of Lycopersicon peruvianum goes, after the completion of cell division and cell wall formation, through two distinct phases. During the first phase, the cells enlarge and the main part of the intercellular substance, consisting of pectins, is formed. During the second phase, the cells form an extensive rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and proteins are incorporated in the intercellular substance. A possible role of these proteins in the incompatibility reaction is proposed.

    Notes: Abstract In Petunia pollen tubes growing in the style there appear to be two ways of callose deposition. The first one is callose deposition outside the plasma membrane as a distinct layer closely appressed to the cell wall. The second one is callose deposition within the cytoplasm as distinct callose grains, leading to the formation of callose plugs. This second way is accompanied by a characteristic ultrastructure of the cytoplasm, namely strong electron-density of the plasma matrix, partial absence of the plasma membrane and the absence of plastids and dictyosomes. For both ways of callose deposition a mechanism is proposed and the function of callose plugs is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Brassica napus pollen development during the formation of the generative cell and sperm cells is analysed with light and electron microscopy. The generative cell is formed as a small lenticular cell attached to the intine, as a result of the unequal first mitosis. After detaching itself from the intine, the generative cell becomes spherical, and its wall morphology changes. Simultaneously, the vegetative nucleus enlarges, becomes euchromatic and forms a large nucleolus. In addition, the cytoplasm of the vegetative cell develops a complex ultrastructure that is characterized by an extensive RER organized in stacks, numerous dictyosomes and Golgi vesicles and a large quantity of lipid bodies. Microbodies, which are present at the mature stage, are not yet formed. The generative cell undergoes an equal division which results in two spindle-shaped sperm cells. This cell division occurs through the concerted action of cell constriction and cell plate formation. The two sperm cells remain enveloped within one continuous vegetative plasma membrane. One sperm cell becomes anchored onto the vegetative nucleus by a long extension enclosed within a deep invagination of the vegetative nucleus. Plastid inheritance appears to be strictly maternal since the sperm cells do not contain plastids; plastids are excluded from the generative cell even in the first mitosis.

    Notes: Abstract  The development of the embryo and endosperm has been investigated in an intraspecific Tulipa gesneriana cross and in the incongruent cross T. gesneriana ×T. agenensis at intervals of 10 days, from 12 to 82 days after pollination (DAP). In both tulip crosses, the zygote gives rise to an apparently undifferentiated cell mass, the proembryonal cell mass, on which a suspensor then develops. Subsequently, a globular embryo is formed on top of the suspensor. This embryo finally elongates, giving rise to a spindle-shaped embryo. The cellular endosperm fills the whole embryo sac in mature seeds, except for a region immediately around the embryo. In both crosses, aberrant developments were found. In the intraspecific T. gesneriana cross, the pollen tubes did not open in a number of ovules. In other ovules, the pollen tubes seemed to have opened, but an embryo or endosperm was not found or only endosperm was observed. In the cross T. gesneriana ×T. agenensis, fewer pollen tubes entered the ovules than in the intraspecific T. gesneriana cross. The ovules with embryo and endosperm formation of the incongruent interspecific cross showed, in general, retarded development in comparison with the intraspecific T. gesneriana cross. The first globular embryos and spindle-shaped embryos were found at the later fixation dates and the relatively lower number of spindle-shaped embryos at 82 DAP had a shorter average length. The number of ovules with deformations in embryo and/or endosperm development was also higher in the cross T. gesneriana × T. agenensis in comparison with the intraspecific T. gesneriana cross. Between 87% and 100% of the ovules with embryo and endosperm development showed normal development in the intraspecific T. gesneriana cross, while in the incongruent interspecific cross, from 22 DAP, between 17% and 56% of the ovules showed normal development. Of those ovules with aberrations in embryo and/or endosperm formation, about 80% had a deformed endosperm, of which more than 50% also contained a deformed embryo. Embryos of the incongruent cross might be saved by the application of embryo rescue techniques.

    Notes: Summary When pollen of Impatiens glandulifera was cultured in aerated liquid medium for 1 h, 70% of the pollen grains germinated; these attained an average tube length of 1 mm. Subsequently, these aerobic growth conditions were changed to anaerobic by substituting a nitrogen inlet for the air inlet. As a result, the pollen tubes stopped elongating and burst. The ultrastructural changes which occurred upon inducing anoxia were studied with samples taken at 0 s, 45 s, and 4 min after changing the gas. Anoxia caused rapid and considerable changes in the ultrastructure of the dictyosome vesicles involved in cell wall formation. There was an increase in the osmiophyly of the vesicle content, and the presence of fibrillar material became apparent. Simultaneously, the fusion behavior of the dictyosome vesicles changed. Instead of the normal fusion of the dictyosome vesicles with the plasma membrane, there was a premature fusion of the vesicles with each other inside the cytoplasm that resulted in the formation of aggregates. Furthermore, the cell wall precursors that were excreted were not incorporated in their usual configuration into the growing cell wall. Instead of a smooth inner cell wall surface, irregular thickenings were formed.

    Notes: Summary A procedure for isolating sperm cells of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) was developed. The sperm cells were released from the pollen grains by osmotic shock, with the right combination of pH and osmolality being important for optimal release. Various combinations of vitamins E, C and fetal calf serum were tested with the aim of improving yield and long-term viability, and their possible mode of action as important components for improvement of these two parameters is discussed. Under optimized conditions, a yield of 12% was established, and the storage time after which 50% of the sperm cells were still viable was improved to 60 h. Cytological observations demonstrated that sperm cells of perennial ryegrass are true protoplasts, which may allow future fusion experiments to be carried out.
