A microtubule--nuclear envelope complex in the spermatozoid of Pteridium.

چکیده

The microtubules on the outside of the nucleus of the mature spermatozoid of Pteridium form a complex with the envelope, and the perinuclear space is eliminated. These dissimilar components are held firmly together, possibly by hydrophobic bonding. The outer part of the chromatin is also attached to the inner boundary of the envelope, and pulls away when the envelope is detached.

The fine structure of fertilization in the fern Marsilea vestita.

The ultrastructural details of fertilization in the fern Marsilea vestita, including gamete approach and fusion, the fate of the spermatozoid organelles and the development of a possible block to polyspermy are described. The spermatozoid approaches the egg through layers of mucilage that surround the megaspores. It moves down the neck of the archegonium into the cavity above the egg. In order ...

Observations on the Microanatomy of the Spermatozoid of the Bracken Fern (Pteridium aquilinum)

Salient features of structure of the spermatozoid of a fern (Pteridium aquilinum) have been determined by a combination of visual and ultraviolet microscopy, with electron microscopy of shadow-cast whole mounts and thin sections, using magnifications up to but not exceeding 50,000 diameters. Attention has been concentrated on the arrangement rather than on the internal details of the various pa...

Chromosome segregation during cell division in higher eukaryotes is driven by a microtubule spindle formed in the cytoplasm. To allow the interaction of microtubules and chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks

Chromosome segregation during cell division in higher eukaryotes is driven by a microtubule spindle formed in the cytoplasm. To allow the interaction of microtubules and chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down in prophase, leading to an ‘open’ mitosis. Nuclear envelope breakdown occurs by stepwise disassembly of nuclear pore complexes, inner nuclear membrane proteins and, finally, lamins,...

P-121: Assessment of Microtubule and Nuclear Status at Different Intervals of Bovine In Vitro Oocyte Maturation

Background: Mammalian oocyte undergoes a series of structural nuclear modulations during maturation in order to obtain full competence to support fertilization and early embryonic development. Microtubules are major cytoskeleton components and have pivotal modulators for chromosomal movement, and it has been shown that partial or immature spindle organization may compromise correct ploidy of th...
