Synthesis of a callosic substance during rhizoid differentiation in Spirogyra.

Spirogyra living in running water is anchored to the substratum by rhizoids that form at the ends of the filaments. A new terminal cell differentiates into a rhizoid cell if the filament is injured. The mode of growth changes from diffuse to tip growth when rhizoid differentiation begins. In this study, we found that a callosic substance was synthesized during rhizoid differentiation. Decreasin...

Rhizoid Differentiation in Spirogyra: III. Intracellular Localization of Phytochrome.

Localization of phytochrome which mediates rhizoid differentiation in Spirogyra was investigated. The red-absorbing form of phytochrome (Pr) seems to be distributed all over the cell periphery which remained in the centripetal end part after the centrifugation, as rhizoids formed equally well with red spotlight irradiation of three different parts of an end cell, i.e. distal end, middle, and pr...

Some observations on the nucleolus in Spirogyra.

Several species of Spirogyra have been collected and fixed for electron microscopy in either 2 % osmium tetroxide or 5 % glutaraldehyde. Mitotic cells were selected with the light microscope from filaments of Spirogyra embedded in Epon. Evidence is given for an interphase cycle in the nucleolus of Spirogyra. A clear association between nucleolar material and chromosomes occurs at mitosis. The b...

Wave Propagation in Fucus Rhizoid Cells

Both Ca 2 and reactive oxygen species (ROS) play critical signaling roles in plant responses to biotic and abiotic stress. However, the positioning of Ca 2 and ROS (in particular H 2 O 2 ) after a stress stimulus and their subcellular interactions are poorly understood. Moreover, although information can be encoded in different patterns of cellular Ca 2 signals, little is known about the subcel...

Bioadhesion in Caulerpa Mexicana (chlorophyta): Rhizoid-substrate Adhesion(1).

The attachment of the psammophytic alga Caulerpa mexicana Sond. ex Kütz., a coenocytic green alga, to crushed CaCO3 particles was examined utilizing the scanning electron microscope and fluorescently tagged antivitronectin antibodies. Plants attached to the substrate through morphologically variable tubular rhizoidal extensions that grew from the stolon. In this study, we describe two means of ...
