Here, we investigated the temporal and spatial dynamics of accumulated H2O2 in pigment glands ofGossypium hirsutum L. with 3,3-diaminobenzidine （DAB） staining, 2’,7’-dichlorodihydrolfuorescein diacetate （DCFH2）-DA lfuorescent labeling and CeCl3 cytochemical localization techniques. The results showed that thepigment glandsofG. hirsutum could generate H2O2, and the amount and localization of H2O2 variedat different developmental stages. At the early developmental stage, a smal amount of H2O2 accumulated in the vacuole membrane of pigment gland cels. At the intermediate stage, a large number of H2O2 appeared in the vacuole membrane, while cel wals started to accumulate a smal amount of H2O2. When pigment gland cel degraded, H2O2 mainly accumulated on the chloroplast envelope membrane of inner sheath cels. With the degradation of the sheath cels, H2O2was detected in cel wal and the membrane of secretory vesicles which contains the preliminary contents of pigment gland. With the pigment glands completely maturation, H2O2 would disappeared. The accumulation sites of H2O2are consistent with the process of PCD of individual gland cels, which started from the degra-dation of intracelular membrane and ended with the degradation of cel wals. Thus H2O2 probably plays an important role in the development of pigment glands. In addition, the development of pigment glands and the generation of H2O2 are not associated with the light, and no H2O2 was detected in the secretions of pigment glands.展开更多
