Título: | Ovary starch reserves and flower development in apricot (Prunus armeniaca) |
Autor: | Rodrigo García, Javier; Hormaza Urroz, José Ignacio CSIC ORCID ; Herrero Romero, María CSIC ORCID | Fecha de publicación: | ene-2000 | Editor: | John Wiley & Sons | Citación: | Physiologia Plantarum 108(1): 35-41 (2000) | Resumen: | In histerant species where flowering takes place prior to leaf emergence, a flower lifespan occurs in the absence of new photoassimilates and at the expense of pre-stored reserves either in the plant as a whole or in the flower itself. In the present study, the role that the photoassimilates stored in the flowers might play in flower development from anthesis to fertilization in Prunus armeniaca L. (apricot), a histerant species, was explored. Starch content in individual flowers was measured with the help of an image analysis system. Starch content decreased from its highest value at anthesis and disappeared from the ovary 9 days later. This decrease was inversely related to an increase in ovary size and in cell number in the pericarp, suggesting an intraflower, self-supported development. This process is conserved in both pollinated and nonpollinated flowers and therefore seems to be inherent to the flower at anthesis. The onset of fruiting is preceded by the establishment of large differences among ovaries; while some experience continuous growth, others stop growing and eventually drop. Interestingly, large differences in starch content are found among flowers at anthesis. These results are discussed in terms of the possible implications of pre-stored starch in the flower supporting initial flower development. | Versión del editor: | https://doi.org/10.1034/j.1399-3054.2000.108001035.x | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10261/255310 | DOI: | 10.1034/j.1399-3054.2000.108001035.x | ISSN: | 0031-9317 | E-ISSN: | 1399-3054 |
