Abstract:

The ultrastructural changes of central cell before and after fertilization were studied with TEM to provide more information for reproductive biology of sugar beet and relative research. The results indicated that the changes of central cell before and after fertilization mainly occurred in nucleus and cytoplasm around. Fusion of polar nuclei took place early at bud stage. The nucleolus of secondary nucleus was bipolar with notable fibrous and particle core. Sometimes, there was extra small nucleolus and nucleolus vacuole. Cytoplasm surrounding secondary nucleus was rich in organelles, including mitochondria, plastids with or without starch grain, Golgi body, ribosomes and rough endoplasmic reticulum (rER). After fertilization, a striking feature of cytoplasm surrounding nucleus was the well developed amoeboid plastids, which were numerous and various, filling with starch gains. Soon after that, primary endosperm nucleus divided into two free nuclei. During division, nucleolus disappeared and nuclear membrane disintegrated into small vesicles. Also, there was an obvious decrease in rER and an increase in smooth endoplasmic reticulum (sER). Overall, central cell was active before and after fertilization.
