Abstract

The pistil of Lilium longiflorum secretes two forms of exudate, one from the stigma surface and the other from the canal cavity. Electrophoretic studies of these exudates have revealed quantitative and qualitative differences in protein profiles. The exudatic components which are transferred to the cell wall by endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi vesicles, are stored within the cell wall of the secretive tissues and secreted from the cell walls directly. The cell wall structure of these secretive tissues differs. The canal cell wall has thick characteristic ingrowths that are supplied mainly from Golgi vesicles, while the papilla cell wall of the stigma is thinner, lacks ingrowths, and is supplied from ER vesicles.
