The distribution of acid phosphatase activity in nucellar cells of wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) during degeneration has been studied using the lead precipitation method at the electron microscopic level. Acid phosphatase was localized in the slightly condensed nuclear chromatin in nucellar cells without any sign of ultrastructural degeneration. As the nucellar cells started degenerating, the enzyme activity in the cell was observed, in the order from small vacuoles to cell walls, mitochondria, plastids and endoplasmic reticulum. Enzyme activity was the highest in most components of the nucellar cells adjacent to the embryo sac where the degeneration of nucellar cells was the strongest, but it was not observed in the nuclei of the degenerated nucellar cells. The results indicated that the degeneration of nucellar cells was a progressive and orderly process and supported that the degeneration of nucellar cells was a programmed cell death.
本文对大豆(Glycine max L. Merrill)“黑农26号”的胚胎学进行了观察,主要结论是:1.雄性的孢原为表皮下列多细胞;小孢子母细胞减数分裂的胞质分裂为同时型;多数为四面体形四分体,少数为两侧对称形四分体;成熟花粉粒为二细胞型,表面具三个萌发孔;花药壁发育为基本型,绒毡层为分泌型,其细胞始终保持单核。2.单室子房,2—4个胚珠,弯生,厚珠心;亚表皮下分化出多个大孢子孢原细胞;大孢子四分体多数为直线形排列,少数为“T”字形排列;蓼型胚囊。3.胚的发育为柳叶菜型;核型胚乳;胚柄在胚发育的主要阶段长期存在;合点端存在胚乳吸器。
