Abstract:
:Latex is a complex plant secretion with both ecological and economic importance. There is little information currently available on the cytological aspects of the ontogenesis of anastomosed laticifers, the ducts originating through the lysis of adjacent cell walls. Hancornia speciosa is a tree typical of the Cerrado (neotropical savanna) biome. Its latex has medicinal value and is also used to produce rubber. The ontogenesis of its laticifers and the process of latex synthesis are described here. Structural, cytochemical, and ultrastructural analyses of the stem apex and phytochemical analyses of the latex were performed. Laticifer ontogenesis begins early in promeristem cells and subsequently extends through the procambial region. The laticifer precursor cells demonstrate intense metabolic activity, evidenced by starch accumulation and the proliferation of mitochondria, dictyosomes, endoplasmic reticulum, and ribosomes-resulting in the thickening of the cell walls and accumulations of oil droplets in the cytoplasm and fibrous materials in the vacuoles. The ontogenetic process culminates with the partial dissolution of adjacent cell walls and the collapse of the cytoplasm, giving rise to anastomosed laticifers distributed throughout the phloem and adjacent regions of the cortex and medulla. The latex itself is composed of terpenes, mucilage, proteins, alkaloids, and organelle residues that form an emulsion. Laticifer development takes place in three phases: (1) the formation of the emulsion in the promeristem, (2) anastomosis and the collapse of the cytoplasm in the distal region of the procambium, and (3) the maturation of laticifers and latex storage in a central vacuole in the proximal region of the procambium.
