説明

We developed a new method for distinguishing the Golgi apparatus from the other membranous organelles which contain DNA, such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, under a fluorescence microscope. Thin sections of cells embedded in Technovit 8100 resin were stained with both 3,3′-dihexyloxacarbocyanine iodide (DiOC6) and 4′,6-diamidino-3-phenylindole (DAPI), and those three membranous organelles were observed under an epifluorescence microscope. The Golgi apparatus, which do not contain DNA, were easily recognized when the two images stained with DiOC6 and DAPI were superimposed using an image processor. Using this method, we investigated the dynamics of cellular membranes and organelles during the mitotic cycle of synchronized cultured tobacco cells BY-2 (Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Bright Yellow 2). The Golgi apparatus did not accumulate in the rim of the formating early cell plate at anaphase, while it accumulated near the maturing cell plate at telophase, and this accumulation seemed to be related to the maturation of cell plates. To confirm this hypothesis, synchronized BY-2 cells were treated with caffeine, which is known to inhibit the cell plate formation. Most of the cells treated with caffeine remained in a phase in which Golgi vesicles were accumulated at the equatorial plate, but the cell plate was only partially maturing. The Golgi apparatus accumulated only near the partially maturing cell plate, but not by the equatorial plate where the Golgi vesicles had accumulated.
