Study on the laminar hydathodes of Ficus formosana (Moraceae) IV. Coated vesicles endocytosis is one of the retrieval mechanisms of epithem during guttation
No full textWe used lanthanum nitrate as an apoplastic tracer to examine possible mechanisms of retrieval nutrient in the epithem of laminar hydathodes of Ficus formosana Maxim. Cytochemical data showed that vesicles, of constant size about 100 nm, containing the precipitation of lanthanum were present in the cytoplasm and pericytoplasm. These lanthanum-containing vesicles were associated with the elongated profiles of endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Lanthanum deposits were also observed in other organelles such as mitochondria and peroxisomes. Lanthanum nitrate, an apoplastic tracer, can’t penetrate the plasmalemma hence its distribution in the vesicles was via endocytosis. In particular, we found that lanthanum precipitation was not present in the plasmolemmasomes, which are the structures of the fluid-phase endocytosis of plasmalemma. From SEM/EDX results, we proposed that the lanthanum ion (La3+) or calcium ion (Ca2+) was absorbed and transported into cell by the coated vesicles endocytosis, not through the fluid-phase endocytosis. The coated vesicle endocytosis, a selective pathway, is a possible mechanism for the uptake of metal ions, which then are further transported into other organelles

(FIG. 3) <p> <i>Specimens examined:</i> Holotype male (SCAU 110042) and four male paratypes (SCAU 121256–121259), China, Hesong, Menghai, Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, 1900 m a.s.l, 6–9 April 2011, J.M. Lu, Z.F. Shao, Y.R. Su, and S.J. Yan.</p> <p> <i>Etymology:</i> Pertaining to the type locality.</p> <p> <i>Diagnosis:</i> This species is similar to <i>A. sinuata</i> in the shape of the distal part of the paramere, but can be distinguished by the following characters. In <i>A. sinuata</i>, the distal part of the paramere is slightly longer than the basal part, which is basally not narrowed in lateral view (Fig. 1C in Chen & Toda, 1998b).</p> <p> <i>Description:</i> Male. Thorax brownish yellow, with dark-brown patches and stripes; pleura brownish; scutellum yellow, brown on margin. Abdominal tergites black; first to third yellow, medially. Male terminalia: epandrium pubescent except for anterior margin, with about ten setae near posterior margin on each side of the body (Fig. 3A). Surstylus with several setae and about nine prensisetae (Fig. 3B). Vertical lobe of gonopod broad, arched, slightly sclerotized (Fig. 3C). Paramere with a row of ~12 sensilla submedially to apically (Fig. 3C). Aedeagal apodeme longer than wide (Fig. 3C). Female: unknown.</p> <p> <i>Measurements:</i> BL = 2.80 mm in the holotype (range in four male paratypes: 2.78–2.85 mm), THL = 1.30 mm (1.20–1.35 mm), WL = 2.38 mm (2.22–2.40 mm), WW = 1.00 mm (0.90–1.00 mm), arb = 5/3 (5/3), avd = 0.85 (0.85–0.95), adf = 2.10 (2.00–2.10), flw = 2.00 (1.90–2.00), FW/HW = 0.35 (0.35), ch/o = 0.07 (0.07), prorb = 0.90 (0.90–1.00), rcorb = 0.65 (0.65–0.70), orbito = 2.30 (2.30–2.40), vb = 0.35 (0.35–0.40), dcl = 0.55 (0.50–0.60), sctl = 1.20 (1.20–1.30), sterno = 0.90 (0.85–0.95), dcp = 0.25 (0.25–0.28), sctlp = 1.00 (1.00), C = 1.23 (1.14–1.42), 4c = 2.10 (1.85–2.30), 4v = 2.85 (2.40–2.85), 5x = 1.50 (1.44–1.80), ac = 6.00 (4.11– 5.75), M = 0.90 (0.64–0.83), C3F = 0.83 (0.76–0.81).</p> <p> <i>Distribution:</i> China (Yunnan).</p>Published as part of <i>Zhao, Feng, Xu, Xiaoyang, Jiang, Jianjun, He, Xiaofang & Chen, Hongwei, 2013, Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the Amiota apodemata and Amiota sinuata species groups (Diptera: Drosophilidae), with descriptions of four new species, pp. 849-858 in Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society 168 (4)</i> on pages 853-854, DOI: 10.1111/zoj.12043, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/5285870">http://zenodo.org/record/5285870</a>
