Imaging cell wall architecture in single Zinnia elegans tracheary elements.
The chemical and structural organization of the plant cell wall was examined in Zinnia elegans tracheary elements (TEs), which specialize by developing prominent secondary wall thickenings underlying the primary wall during xylogenesis in vitro. Three imaging platforms were used in conjunction with chemical extraction of wall components to investigate the composition and structure of single Zin...
متن کاملNon-cell-autonomous postmortem lignification of tracheary elements in Zinnia elegans.
Postmortem lignification of xylem tracheary elements (TEs) has been debated for decades. Here, we provide evidence in Zinnia elegans TE cell cultures, using pharmacological inhibitors and in intact Z. elegans plants using Fourier transform infrared microspectroscopy, that TE lignification occurs postmortem (i.e., after TE programmed cell death). In situ RT-PCR verified expression of the lignin ...
متن کاملEstablishing in vitro Zinnia elegans cell suspension culture with high tracheary element differentiation.
The Zinnia elegans mesophyll cell culture is a useful system for xylogenesis studies. The system is associated with highly synchronous tracheary element (TE) differentiation, making it more suitable for molecular studies requiring larger amounts of molecular isolates, such as mRNA and proteins and for studying cellulose synthesis. There is, however, the problem of non-uniformity and significant...
متن کاملCell Expansion and Tracheary Element Differentiation Are Regulated by Extracellular pH in Mesophyll Cultures of Zinnia elegans L.
The effects of medium pH on cell expansion and tracheary element (TE) differentiation were investigated in differentiating mesophyll suspension cultures of Zinnia elegans L. In unbuffered cultures initially adjusted to pH 5.5, the medium pH fluctuated reproducibly, decreasing about 1 unit prior to the onset of TE differentiation and then increasing when the initiation of new Tes was complete. E...
متن کاملProteinase Activity during Tracheary Element Differentiation in Zinnia Mesophyll Cultures.
The zinnia (Zinnia elegans) mesophyll cell culture tracheary element (TE) system was used to study proteinases active during developmentally programmed cell death. Substrate-impregnated gels and single-cell assays revealed high levels of proteinase activity in differentiating TEs compared with undifferentiated cultured cells and expanding leaves. Three proteinases (145, 28, and 24 kD) were excl...
