Ultrastructural Studies on Development in Mature Seeds; Embryos ofEuonymus europaeaL. Dormant or Cultured at +25 °C
1989
Ultrastructural observations on naturally dispersed and dehydrated seeds of Euonymus europaea L. were performed. It was shown that during the culture of isolated embryos at 25 °C for 7 d the maturation of protein bodies continued; the initial juvenile form (single protein body per cell with dispersed contents) was developing into a more advanced form (single body split to form several sub-units with condensed contents). Parallel biochemical determinations pointed to an increase in insoluble protein levels. There were no changes in other storage organelles, lipid bodies, either in the fine structure or in the level of triacylglycerols. Deterioration of cellular membranes (in mitochondria, pr…
Effect of Gibberellin on Mature Euonymus europaeus L. Seeds
1992
The release from dormancy of Euonymus europaeus L. embryos by a brief treatment with GA 3 has been studied. During 48 h incubation of dormant embryos in GA-free medium, phospholipid levels increased at first, then declined sharply over the last 6 h. When the embryos were placed in GA, medium during this 6 h period levels of total phospholipids as well as of phosphatidylethanolamine increased whilst phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine declined slightly
