Anatomical and histochemical differentiation in lobes of the lichen Lobaria pulmonaria
Tóm tắt
The growth pattern of the thallus of Lobaria pulmonaria, a foliose lichen, has been described as differentiated into upwards and downwards growing lobes. The former show meristematic properties, whereas the latter, owing to the formation of soralia inactivating apical meristems, become senile lobes. A simple and sensitive histochemical procedure, the TBO test performed in this study, shows co-distribution of zones of active growth and polyphosphates accumulation in L. pulmonaria and gives evidence of the central role of phosphate in lichen metabolism. Upwards and downwards growing lobes mainly differentiate in pattern of accumulation of histochemically detectable polyphosphates. In the former, actively growing zones correspond to the algae, cortical and medullary hyphal cells adjacent to the algal layer of the pseudomeristematic marginal rim and of the adjacent elongation zone. In the downwards sorediate lobes, lacking apical growth, the actively growing zones correspond to medullary hyphae and algae occurring in areas where soredia are formed.
