Physico-biochemical and physiological gradients in the ovule during embryogenesis

Pages 51-58 | Published online: 10 Jul 2014
 

Summary

In the basic constituent tissues (coat, endosperm and embryo) of the developing ovule (proembryo and embryo stages) the following gradients were found: of osmotic value, concentration of non reducing sugars, respiration rate and concentration of amino-N. Virtually these gradients in the coat, endosperm and partly in the embryo itself were directed from the chalaza to the micropyle i.e. in the opposite direction of the embryo elongation (micropyle → chalaza). The direction of some gradients in the endosperm, embryo and possibly in the coal changes during the ovule development.

Résumé

Dans certains tissus: épiderme, endosperme, embryon, on a constaté au cours du développement d'un ovule la présence des gradients suivants, à savoir la valeur osmotique, la concentration des sucres non réducteurs, l'intensité respiratoire et la concentration de l'azote aminé. Les gradients en question, de l'épiderme, de l'endosperme et partiellement de l'embryon, sont dirigés de la chalaze vers le micropyle, c'est-à-dire dans la direction opposée à celle de l'élongation de l'embryon. La direction de certains gradients dans l'endosperme, l'embryon et probablement dans l'épiderme change au cours du développement de l'ovule.
