The ultracytochemical localizations of ATPase activity on amyloplasts and protein bodies were studied by using a lead precipitation technique at middle and late developmental stage of endosperm in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. Minghui 63).

The starchy endosperm of wheat underwent programmed cell death (PCD) during its development. It showed a ladder of DNA fragments in multiples of 180-200 bp at specific stages when analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The onset of internucleosomal fragmentation of the genome in wheat endosperm could be accelerated by ethylene.

The cellular ultrastructural morphology, grain filling ratio and activity of related enzymes during denucleation development stage in starchy endosperm cell of an Indica rice variety Zhongxian 8836 were observed and analyzed. The endosperm cellularization was completed at about the 3rd day after flowering (DAF). At 5 DAF a few endosperm cells initiated denucleation development.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the pseudorabies virus (PrV) affects apoptosis (cell death) in suckling piglets, focusing on the Ea strain of the virus.
- Various tissue samples were collected from infected piglets, and several methods like electron microscopy and TUNEL staining were used to identify apoptotic cells.
- It was found that the PrV infection primarily induced apoptosis in lymphoid tissues, weakening the immune system and leading to the death of piglets, while establishing a latent infection in nerve tissues by preventing apoptosis in those cells.
