[Anther development and sperm isolation of Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Miq.)].

Abstract

Anther wall is general and tapetum is glandular. The process of meiosis of microspore mother cells is simultaneous and the tetrads are tetrahedral. The mature pollen of Pseudostellaria heterophylla (Miq.) is tree-celled. There are 22-30 germ pores on the pollen wall. Many pollen grains could burst in 10% mannitol or 15% sucrose solution and release a pair of sperm cells which could keep alive for 25-50 min by FDA fluorescence. Using micromanipulator the released sperm cells could be collected. When pollen grains were put into a solution containing 0.03% CaCl2, 0.01% H3BO3, 0.01% KH2PO4 and 20% PEG for 2-5 min, they would germinate and the pollen tubes would reach 815 microm at 2h after cultured. A pair of sperms would enter into pollen tube when it grew to 500-600 microm. The fluorescence of both sperms would be observed clearly in pollen tube after DAPI staining. When the pollen tubes were burst in a bursting solution, a pair of sperms would be released from pollen tube.
