localization of beta d glucosidase activity and glucovanillin in vanilla bean vanilla planifolia andrews
Annals of Botany, 2003Co-Authors: Eric Odoux, Jacques Escoute, Jeanluc Verdeil, Jeanmarc BrillouetAbstract:The morphology, anatomy and histology of mature green vanilla beans were examined by light and transmission electron microscopy. Beans have a triangular cross-section with a central cavity containing seeds. Each angle is lined with tubular cells, or papillae, while the cavity sides consist of placental laminae. The Epicarp and endocarp are formed by one or two layers of very small cells, while the mesocarp contains large, highly vacuolarized cells, the cytoplasm being restricted to a thin layer along the cell walls. The radial distributions of glucovanillin and beta-glucosidase activity, measured on p-nitrophenyl-beta-glucopyranoside and glucovanillin, are superimposable and show how beta-glucosidase activity increases from the Epicarp towards the placental zone, whereas glucovanillin is exclusively located in the placentae and papillae. Subcellular localization of beta-glucosidase activity was achieved by incubating sections of vanilla beans in a buffer containing 5-bromo-4-chloro-3-indolyl-beta-d-glucopyranoside as a substrate. Activity was observed in the cytoplasm (and/or the periplasm) of mesocarp and endocarp cells, with a more diffuse pattern observed in the papillae. A possible mechanism for the hydrolysis of glucovanillin and release of the aromatic aglycon vanillin involves the decompartmentation of cytoplasmic (and/or periplasmic) beta-glucosidase and vacuolar glucovanillin.

Ontogeny of fruits and seeds of Passiflora species (Passifloraceae - subgenus Decaloba (DC.) Rchb. section Xerogona (Raf.) Killip)
2017Co-Authors: Juliana Foresti MilaniAbstract:Resumo: A morfologia externa e interna dos frutos e sementes de Passifloraceae Juss. ex Roussel é pouco conhecida ou até desconhecida para muitas espécies. Estudos morfoanatômicos de frutos e sementes têm grande importância já que os mesmos exibem pequena plasticidade fenotípica. Neste contexto, este trabalho teve como objetivo elucidar a ontogenia do fruto e da semente de quatro espécies de Passiflora L. subgênero Decaloba (DC.) Rchb. superseção Decaloba (DC.) J.M. Macdougal & Feulliet seção Xerogona (Raf.) Killip que apresentam frutos do tipo cápsula, condição incomum na família. Para tanto, o material vegetal foi coletado e processado segundo técnicas convencionais em microscopia de luz e eletrônica, além da aplicação de técnica específica (TUNEL) para detecção de morte celular programada no estádio de deiscência do fruto. Foram estabelecidos estádios de desenvolvimento para os frutos e as sementes: Estádio I: Ovário e óvulo; Estádio II - fruto e semente em início de desenvolvimento: frequentes divisões celulares; Estádio III - fruto e semente jovens: alongamento celular; Estádio IV - fruto e semente maduros: diferenciação celular e deiscência do fruto. Nos estádios II a IV do fruto, o Epicarpo e o endocarpo são uniestratificados e as maiores modificações decorrentes do desenvolvimento do fruto ocorrem no mesocarpo. Ao longo do desenvolvimento aumentam os espaços intercelulares a partir do endocarpo em direção ao Epicarpo. Não há a formação de uma linha de deiscência. Os espaços intercelulares ocorrem devido à morte celular programada formando lacunas que acabam por romper o pericarpo. Os testes histoquímicos indicaram a presença de idioblastos contendo compostos fenólicos e proteínas no tecido fundamental do ovário e no mesocarpo. As sementes das espécies estudadas são bitegumentadas. A testa é constituída de duas camadas: exotesta e endotesta. O tégmen é composto por três camadas: exotégmen, mesotégmen e endotégmen. No início do desenvolvimento da semente observou-se o arilo de origem funicular, formado por células parenquimáticas e idioblastos contendo compostos fenólicos e amido. O desenvolvimento dos tegumentos da semente se dá pelo alongamento diferencial das células do exotégmen e da endostesta. Esse processo resulta na ruminação do endosperma. Na semente madura o tegumento externo formará a sarcotesta. Neste estádio, o exotégmen constitui a camada mecânica formada por macroesclereídes em paliçada, representando a esclerotesta. As informações encontradas no presente estudo revelam que as características morfoanatômicas de fruto e semente são bastante conservadas e unificadoras na seção. Diante do exposto, destaca-se a importância de novos estudos abrangendo mais espécies e abordando a evolução de caracteres e a inclusão de outros novos para facilitar a elucidação das relações infragenéricas de Passiflora que tem sido ampliada graças à cooperação de estudos morfoanatômicos e genéticos. ;;Abstract: External and internal morphology of Passifloraceae Juss. ex Roussel fruits and seeds is little known or even unknown for many species. Morphological and anatomical studies of fruits and seeds have great importance since they exhibit little phenotypic plasticity. In this context, this study aimed to elucidate the fruit and seed ontogeny of four species of Passiflora L. Decaloba (DC.) Rchb. subgenus Decaloba (DC.) J.M. Macdougal & Feulliet supersection Xerogona (Raf.) Killip section that present capsule type of fruit, unusual condition in the family. For this, the plant material were collected and processed according to conventional techniques for light and electron microscopy; specific technique (TUNEL) were also applied to detect programmed cell death in the stage of fruit dehiscence. Four developmental stages were established: Stage I: Ovary and ovule; Stage II - fruit and seed in early development: frequent cell divisions; Stage III - young fruit and young seed: cell elongation; Stage IV - mature fruit and mature seed: cell differentiation and fruit dehiscence. In the stages II to IV of the fruit, Epicarp and endocarp are unistratified and major changes from the development of the fruit occurs on mesocarp. During the development, the intercellular spaces increase from the endocarp towards the Epicarp. There is no line of dehiscence. The intercellular spaces occur due to programmed cell death forming gaps that breaks the pericarp. Histochemical test indicated the presence of phenolic compounds and idioblasts containing proteins in fundamental tissue of ovary and mesocarp. The seeds of all species were bitegmic. The testa consists of two layers: exotesta and endotesta. The tegmen is composed of three layers: exotegmen, mesotegmen and endotegmen. At the beginning of seed development, aryl of funicular origin, formed by parenchyma cells that may containing phenolic compounds and starch, was observed. The development of the integument of the seed occurs by differential cell elongation of exotegmen and endostesta. This process results in a ruminate endosperm. In the mature seed, the outer integument forms the sarcotesta. At this stage, the exotegmen is the mechanical layer formed by macrosclereids in palisade, representing esclerotesta. Information found in this study reveals that morphoanatomical characteristics of fruit and seed are quite conserved and unified in the section. Given that, we highlight the importance of further studies including more species and addressing the evolution of characters and adding new ones to facilitate the elucidation of infrageneric relationships in Passiflora which has been expanded due to the cooperation of morpho-anatomical and genetic studies
