Cortaderia Selloana

The ultrastructure of synergids which extend through the micropyle as haustoria and lie against 'the ovary wall are described in <em>Cortaderia selloana</em> and its F<sub>l</sub> hybrid with <em>C. araucana</em>. These haustoria bear typical transfer cell wall invaginations closely associated with the plasma membrane and with mitochondria. Their function seems to be one involved in the absorption and conduction of nutrients to the synergids which are atypical in their highly vacuolate structure, degenerate nuclei and few organelles. The synergids appear to act as repositories of nutrients which are, readily accessible to the central cell by virtue of deep intrusions made into them by the central cell cytoplasm. Enzymatic secretion could also be a function of the distal end of the haustorial synergids, both in facilitating tissue peneration during its outward growth and in directing pollen tube growth. At anfhesis, the haustorium - synergid complex appears to be past its peak of absorption and transport activity, and to be involved in a seeretory or degenerative phase.

Cell wall-related genes and proteins are crucial for fertilisation-related events such as pollen germination and pollen-tube growth. Recent studies have focussed on the molecular mechanism of cell-wall synthesis and regulation of these processes; however, limited information is available on the mechanism and modification of the crucial cell-wall materials. We isolated a gene that is potentially involved in cell-wall metabolism from pollinated pistils of the male sterile line ‘Bcajh97-A’ in Chinese cabbage pak choi (Brassica campestris SKewed5 Similar 11, BcSKS11). BcSKS11 has several features of SKewed5 Similar (SKS) proteins, which are structures that are similar to plant multicopper oxidase but lack the 10 necessary residues of two copper-binding sites. A phylogenetic tree constructed from 49 SKS proteins found four clades, with BcSKS11 being in a clade with tobacco sequences. Reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction and in situ hybridisation revealed that BcSKS11 was specifically expressed in uninucleate microspores, mature pollen grains and growing pollen tubes of pollinated pistils. These results suggest that BcSKS11 might be stored in mature pollen grains, in preparation for pollen germination and pollen-tube growth.
