OBSERVATIONS OF CHROMOSOMES IN CIRCAEA (ONAGRACEAE)

Observations of meiotic and/or mitotic chromosomes for 16 specific, infraspecific, and hybrid taxa from 56 populations are presented; chromosome numbers for 11 taxa are reported for the first time. All samples reported have 2n = 22, with the exception that 3 of 12 collections of C. × intermedia have at least some individuals that are triploid. North American diploid collections of this hybrid are heterozygous for one reciprocal translocation; only 1 of 5 European diploid collections also exhibited a translocation. Meiosis in four naturally occurring Asian hybrids is also analyzed: C. × ovata (C. cordata × C. mollis), C. × decipiens (C. erubescens × C. lutetiana) and C. x× dubia (C. cordata × C. eurbescens) possess a single translocation; C. × mentiens (C. alpina × C. eurbescens) is structurally homozygous. With the exception of the translocation, chromosome pairing in these hybrids is normal. Early diakinesis chromosomes possess densely staining centric regions and diffusely staining arms that are subequal in length.     

ULTRASTRUCTURE OF OSMOPHORES IN RESTREPIA (ORCHIDACEAE)

Osmophores of the myophilous genus Restrepia (Orchidaceae) were studied developmentally at the ultrastructural level. They are located at petal apices and on the adaxial surface of the dorsal sepal apex. Up to and through anthesis a dense, osmiophilic exudate is synthesized probably in endoplasmic reticulum or in plastids of papillose epidermal cells, and then appears to be transported through the plasmalemma by granulocrine elimination. As the exudate is amassed, the cuticle ruptures to form numerous pores that extend from the cell wall. Mitochondria and amyloplasts are especially abundant at anthesis. From anthesis to post-anthesis, lipid droplets appear in the cytoplasm and vacuoles of epidermal cells, and frequency of cell organelles drops markedly with increasing vacuolation.     

GENETIC CONSEQUENCES OF AUTOPOLYPLOIDY IN TOLMIEA (SAXIFRAGACEAE)

Although there is an extensive literature on the genetic attributes of allopolyploids, very little information is available regarding the genetic consequences of autopolyploidy in natural populations. We therefore addressed the major predicted genetic consequences of autopolyploidy using diploid and tetraploid populations of Tolmiea menziesii. Individual autotetraploid plants frequently maintain three or four alleles at single loci: 39% of the 678 tetraploid plants exhibited three or four alleles for at least one locus. Heterozygosity was also significantly higher in autotetraploid populations than in diploid populations: H_° = 0.070 and 0.237 in diploid and tetraploid Tolmiea, respectively. Most of the genetic diversity in T. menziesii is maintained within populations (ratio of gene diversity within populations to mean total genetic diversity = 0.636). The total genetic diversity due to differentiation between the two cytotypes is only 0.055. Such a low degree of differentiation between cytotypes would be expected between a diploid and its autotetraploid derivative. Most diploid and all tetraploid populations examined are in genetic equilibrium. Diploid and tetraploid Tolmiea share three or four alleles at six of eight polymorphic loci. This suggests that either autotetraploid Tolmiea was formed via crossing of genetically different diploids (perhaps via a triploid intermediate) or autopolyploidy occurred more than once in separate individual plants, followed by later crossing of autotetraploids.     

ENDOMITOSIS IN TAPETAL CELLS OF EREMURUS (LILIACEAE)

True endomitosis in the anther tapetum of the liliaceous plant Eremurus is described. The nuclear membrane does not disappear, but during metaphase the chromosomes are condensed, often considerably more than in normal mitosis. When the pollen mother cells (PMCs) go through the last premeiotic mitosis, the tapetal cells have one diploid nucleus which divides while the cell remains undivided. The two diploid nuclei may undergo an endomitosis and the resulting tetraploid nuclei a second endomitosis. An alternative pathway is an ordinary mitosis—again without cell division—instead of one of the endomitotic cycles. The cytological picture in the tapetum is further complicated by restitution in anaphase and fusion of metaphase and anaphase groups during mitosis, processes which could give rise to cells with one, two, or three nuclei, instead of the expected two or four. No sign of the so-called “inhibited” mitosis is seen in these tapetal cells. When the PMCs are in leptotene-zygotene, very few tapetal nuclei are in endomitosis. When the PMCs have reached diplotene, almost 100% of cells which are not in interphase show an endomitotic stage.

中国荨麻科冷水花属的研究

冷水花属Pilea Lindl.是荨麻科藤麻族Trib.Prccrideae^[22]中的一个较原始的属,也是荨麻科最大的一个属,约600^[14]种,约占该科全部种数的三分之一^*,主要分布于美洲、亚洲、非洲和大洋洲的新几内亚的热带和亚热带地区,温带地区较少。在我国,原记录有70余种,经研究整理后,本文记载了85种(其中存疑种2种),8亚种,7变种,其中新种31种,我国新记录9种,还有部分标本暂时难以作出鉴定,它们代表了大约六、七种,这样,估计我国冷水花属植物约有90余种,为我国尊麻科的一个大属(另一大属楼梯草属Elatostema, 108种) (王文采,中国植物志手稿,未发表),主要分布于长江流域以南地区,少数种类可分布到东北省区。这属植物喜好生长于山坡阴湿处,是为这些地区山坡阴湿环境草本植被的重要建群植物。

PATTERNS OF GENICULAR DEVELOPMENT IN AMPHIROA (CORALLINACEAE)

Two types of genicular development (designated Types I and II) are present in South African species of Amphiroa. Genicula of both types originate when medullary tissue near branch endings softens by decalcification. In Type I decalcification does not progress to the branch surface and the joint therefore does not become flexible until the cortex, which remains calcified, cracks and partly sloughs. This type occurs in all species of Amphiroa in South Africa except one, and possibly occurs in those in the rest of the world as well. In Type II decalcification continues centrifugally to the surface of the branch; this results in a geniculum comprising medullary and cortical tissue. As far as is known this type occurs only in Amphiroa ephedraea. Type I appears to be more primitive than Type II.     

鲈形目少鳞鳜属(Coreoperca)化石在中国的首次发现

记述的山东少鳞鳜（新种）（Ｃｏｒｅｏｐｅｒｃａ ｓｈａｎｄｏｎｇｅｎｓｉｓ ｓｐ．ｎｏｖ）是该属化石在我国的首次发现,标本产自山东山旺早中新世晚期山旺组纹层状硅藻页岩之上的含硅藻泥页岩中。山东少鳞鳜的发现,说明原始鳜类在中新世已发生分化,在中新世时期的中国大陆和日本列岛均已相当繁盛。少鳞鳜属可能并非起源于朝鲜和日本一带,之后扩散到中国,而是中新世广布于东亚的鱼类,这进一步支持了关于中国东部和日本列岛新生代晚期同属一个鱼类区系的观点。
