摘要
被子植物胚囊的“雌性生殖单位”,已在多种植物上进行了超微结构的观察,但大多都以卵细胞受精前后的结构变化为主要研究内容。对于“雌性生殖单位”中的另一重要成员——助细胞,在不同发育状态下其结构变化的详细资料不多,尤其是助细胞退化后的物质去向,少见报道。本研究主要观察了西瓜不同发育时期(受精前后)、不同发育状态(柱头授粉和未授粉)的助细胞超微结构。
The ultrastructure of synergids of watermelon ( Cit-rullus Lanatus L. ) was investigated using transmission electron microscopy at following stages of embryo sacs: 1. Unpollination, on the first flowering day. 2. Unpollina-tion, on 2nd day after anthesis (DAA). 3. Fertilization, on DAA 2. The synergids with distinct filiform apparatus at the micropylar end have abundant organelle, such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and plastids in cytoplasm, which indicate that they are active on the first flowering day. No wall is present at the chalazal part of synergid, and there are some flocculent materials and vesicles in the spaces of cytoplasma membranes among synergid, egg cell and central cell in embryo sacs at the first
and the second stages. On DAA 2, in unpollinated embryo sacs, the central large vacuole of synergid is divided into several smaller ones and the starch grains decrease in cytoplasm. There is no newly synthesized wall at the chalazal end of persistent synergid in fertilized embryo sacs. The contents of degenerated synergid, in the form of electron dense granules, are located in the wide space among central cell, zygote and persistent synergid, and some of them migrate into central cell through cytoplasma membrane. Therefore, it is deduced that the contents of synergid might serve as a nutrient supplement to the development of endosperm, but not embryo.
