Changes in the pattern of microtubule distribution and organization during megagametogenesis in the embryo sac of rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. IR36) were re-examined using a modified polyethylene glycol sectioning technique before immuno-fluorescence staining of microtubules. In the sectioned materials the pattern of distribution and structural organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton were quite well preserved. Fine details of the patterns of structural changes and re-organization of the microtubule cytoskeleton in the major stages of development during embryo sac megagametogenesis (viz. functional megaspore, uni-nucleate, 2-nucleate, 4-nucleate, 8-nucleate and mature stage) could be clearly observed and easily followed. Some new organizational patterns of microtubules associated with the probable movement and positioning of the polar nuclei were observed.

摘要：用PEG包埋切片法及荧光抗体标记技术对水稻 (Oryzasativa L .)雌配子体发生过程中微管骨架的变化进一步研究。经PEG包埋切片技术处理的胚囊内的微管结构能够保持得比较完整 ,特别是在一些较大和成熟的胚囊内 ,效果更佳 ,微管清晰度高。对雌配子体发生过程中的一些主要时期的微管结构变化作了详尽描述和分析 (包括 :单核、二核、四核、八核和成熟胚囊时期 )。发现了一些新的微管结构 ,如在中央细胞中有纵向微管 ,这些微管在两个极核移至中央部位时存在 ,之后当极核移至靠近卵细胞时便消失 ,显示中央细胞纵向微管与极核的移动和定位可能有关。
