Microtubules in early development of the megagametophyte of Ginkgo biloba.

Abstract:

:Food storage tissue in the seeds of gymnosperms is female gametophyte (megagametophyte) that develops before fertilization, whereas, in seeds of angiosperms, food is stored as endosperm initiated by double fertilization. The megagametophyte is haploid, and endosperm is usually triploid, at least initially. Despite differences in origin, ploidy level, and developmental trigger, the early events of female gametophyte development in ginkgo are very similar to nuclear endosperm development in the seeds of angiosperms. In both, development begins as a single cell that undergoes multiple mitoses without cytokinesis, to produce a large syncytium. This study provided evidence that microtubule involvement in organization of the syncytium into nuclear cytoplasmic domains (NCDs) via nuclear-based radial microtubule systems is a critical developmental feature in the ginkgo megagametophyte, as it is in endosperm. Once the initial anticlinal walls have been deposited at the boundaries of NCDs, cellularization proceeds by the process of alveolation. Continued unidirectional growth of the alveolar walls is an outstanding example of polar cytokinesis. Ginkgo megagametophyte development appears to occur uniformly throughout the entire chamber, whereas nuclear type endosperm usually exhibits distinct developmental domains. These observations suggest that there is a fundamental pathway for the development and cellularization of syncytia in seed development.
