Preferential polar pathways in the cuticle and their relationship to ectodesmata.

Abstract:

:Ectodesmata-like structures, referred to here as mercurous or mercury precipitates (MP) and considered to be identical to precipitates observed after treatment of leaf tissue with Gilson solution for demonstration of ectodesmata, were demonstrated with cuticle enzymatically isolated from Allium bulb scales and leaves mounted on ascorbic acid-enriched agar or gelatin. The MP distribution patterns obtained with isolated cuticle, in the absence of a cell wall, were identical to those observed with living tissue. Since the distribution in either the presence or absence of the cell wall was similar, the distribution pattern must be determined by the cuticle and not by the cell wall. Disruption of the physical arrangement of epicuticular wax by brushing or removal with chloroform altered the distribution pattern and increased the frequency of MP. This was interpreted to mean that epicuticular wax plays an important role and also that the necessary reductant was not localized in specific structures in the cell wall. Based on this evidence, it appears that ectodesmata, as demonstrated with Gilson solution, are not specific cell-wall structures, whether plasmic or not plasmic. More likely, the MP observed in the cell wall reflect areas in the cuticle permeable to mercuric chloride and undoubtedly to other polar compounds. The presence of such pathways in the cuticle, long established as the prime barrier to penetration of polar compounds, has marked implications in foliar uptake and excretion.
