Tóm tắt

Our results and those we review indicate that the exine has a great capacity for modifications that enable nutrients to pass through from the anther loculus to the microspore cytoplasm. Avenues of passage include strands, some of which are viscin threads, from the tapetum to microspores in, for example, Betula, Fuchsia, and Epilobium. Micro channels in Lopezia, Gaura, and Gelsemium extend through the ectexine, endexine, and intine to the cytoplasm. The bulge regions in Epilobium represent portions of the endexine that become very greatly enlarged, forming conducting channels that transport materials into the microspore cytoplasm. Results with tracers such as colloidal iron and lanthanum have also shown that exines of microspores are permeable across areas lacking obvious channels.Key words: Betula, Epilobium, exine, Fuchsia, Gaura, Gelsemium, Lopezia, microchannels, pollen, tapetum, tufts, viscin threads.
