New in situ approaches to study the induction of pollen embryogenesis in Capsicum annuum L.

Abstract:

:The induction of pollen embryogenesis in Capsicum annuum L. has been studied at the cellular level using various in situ approaches with several molecular probes for DNA, RNA and proteins. The late vacuolated microspore and the young bicellular pollen grain are stages of gametophytic development in which embryogenesis can be induced. Our results show that the late vacuolated microspore stage is most responsive to embryogenesis induction. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) has been immunolocalized at the electron microscopy level, in order to map replication sites in relation to the fine structure of chromatin. It shows different patterns of labelling at both developmental stages studied, revealing that the late vacuolated microspore is in a period of replication. Other in situ studies have been performed to characterize the state of nuclear activity at the specific developmental stages in which the embryogenic induction can occur. The modern in situ terminal-deoxy-nucleotidyl transferase (TdT) reaction for DNA, the immunolocalization of various nuclear antigens (as snRNPs, fibrillarin, RNA) and the ultrastructural in situ hybridization using 18S and 25S ribosomal probes provided valuable data bout the specific features displayed by the functional nuclear compartments of the microspore, and the young vegetative and generative cells. They are related not only to the state of gene activity but also with probably the ability to switch to the sporophytic pathway at specific developmental times of their gametophytic program.
