Ultrastructure of the sperm of Plumbago zeylanica : II. Quantitative cytology and three-dimensional organization.

Abstract:

:Pollen grains of Plumbago zeylanica L. were serially sectioned and examined using transmission electron microscopy to determine the three-dimensional organization of sperm cells within the microgametophyte and the quantity of membrane-bound organelles occurring within each cell. Sperm cells occur in pairs within each pollen grain, but are dimorphic, differing in size, morphology and organelle content. The larger of the two sperm cells (Svn) is distinguished by the presence of a long (approx. 30 μm) projection, which wraps around and lies within embayments of the vegetative nucleus. This cell contains numerous mitochondria, up to two plastids and, infrequently, microbodies. It is characterized by a larger volume and surface area and contains a larger nucleus than the other sperm cell. The second sperm cell (Sua) is linked by plasmodesmata with the Svn, but is unassociated with the vegetative nucleus. It is smaller and lacks a cellular projection. The Sua contains relatively few mitochondria, but numerous (up to 46) plastids and more microbodies than the other sperm. The degree of dimorphism in their content of heritable cytoplasmic organelles must at fertilization result in nearly unidirectional transmission of sperm plastids into just one of the two female reproductive cells, and preferential transmission of sperm mitochondria into the other.
