Afterwards, we got following results: 1) The morphological characteristics represented that the inflorescence of petal-sepal mutant maintained the appearance and structure of capitulum, whereas no explicit tubular flower or ligulate flower was differentiated. 2) The histological characteristics revealed that the petal-sepal mutant only completed the inflorescence development and the differentiation of sepal primordia and inflorescence primordia, without entering the differentiation stage of tubular flower primordia, ligulate flower primordia, stamen primordia or pistil primordia. 3) The photosynthetic characteristics showed that the photosynthetic rate, transpiration and stomatal conductance of petal-sepal mutant were relatively weaker than the control plants. In the end, we concluded that the petal-sepal mutant of sunflower had only inflorescence differentiation, while several mutant genes were caused by radiation-induced mutation, which entered an infinitely recurrent development process rather than the floral differentiation stage. We also observed a few chloroplast structures in the paraffin section, combined with the results of photosynthetic characteristics of petal-sepal mutant, and then we believed that the inflorescence of petal-sepal mutant was involved in photosynthesis to accumulate energy for plant growth.展开更多

The carbon materials were characterized by transmission electron microscopy （TEM）, UV-Vis adsorption, Fourier-transformed infrared spectroscopy （FTIR）, fluorescence and the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS） measurements, respectively. The carbon quantum dots showed excellent photoluminescence property with high stability in phosphate buffer solution with different pH values from 5 to 9, even in the cell culture medium supplied with the fetal bovine serum. Meanwhile, we also studied the interaction of carbon quantum dots with living HeLa cells with confocal microscopy. Our results indicated that the carbon quantum dots can enter the living HeLa cells by cellular penetration.展开更多

However, little is known about how the formation and maintenance of these nanostructures is coordinated with the growth and development of the underlying cells. Here we report the characterization of the Arabidopsis cutin synthase 2 （cus2） mutant, which causes a great reduction in cuticular ridges on the mature sepal epidermis, but only a moderate effect on petal cone cell ridges. Using scanning electron microscopy and confocal live imaging combined with quantification of cellular growth, we find that cuticular ridge formation progresses down the sepal from tip to base as the sepal grows, pCUS2：：GFP-GUS reporter expression coincides with cutic- ular ridge formation, descending the sepal from tip to base. Ridge formation also coincides with the reduction in growth rate and termination of cell division of the underlying epidermal cells. Surprisingly, cuticular ridges at first form normally in the cus2 mutant, but are lost progressively at later stages of sepal development, indicating that CUS2 is crucial for the maintenance of cuticular ridges after they are formed~ Our results reveal the dynamics of both ridge formation and maintenance as the sepal grows.展开更多

The light yellow globular protuberances were observed on the cut edge and the surface of sepal segments after culture for 24 days. Then the globular protuberances grew bigger gradually. A lot of floral buds on the surface of sepal segments formed after culture for 60 days. The morphological changes in the cultures of sepal segments were studied with light microscopy after culture for 0 to 30 days as well. The cells of tissues of sepal segments arranged regularly and no dividing cell was observed on the first day culture. There appeared some small meristematic centers of dividing cells on cut edge and the lower epidermis on the 7th day after culture. To the 20th day culture in vitro, the floral organ primordia were differentiated on the cut edge. On the 30th day culture, floral buds with petal, stamen primordia were observed. In addition, the morphological changes in the cultures of sepal segment were studied during the 14 to 30 days culture with scanning microscopy as well.展开更多
