辣椒胞质雄性不育系和保持系内源激素含量的比较

以2个辣椒品系(199807、199803)的胞质雄性不育系和相应保持系为实验材料,采用酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA)测定IAA、(Z ZR)、GA3和ABA等内源激素含量,用气相色谱分析仪测定乙烯(ETH)释放量,对辣椒胞质雄性不育系和相应保持系内源激素含量变化规律进行研究.实验结果表明:在四分小孢子之前,花药中的IAA含量不育系显著高于保持系,在四分小孢子时期花药和花蕾中的IAA含量出现转折,到花粉粒成熟期的花蕾和花药以及开花期叶片中的IAA含量均是不育系显著低于保持系;小孢子各发育时期花药以及花期叶片中GA3含量均是不育系高于保持系,但花粉粒成熟期化蕾中GA3含量为不育系低于保持系;小孢子不同发育时期的花药以及花期叶片中ABA含量始终足不育系显著高于保持系,而花粉粒成熟期花蕾中ABA含量不育系与保持系没有显著差异;花粉粒成熟期的花蕾和花期叶片中ETH释放量表现为不育系显著高于保持系.同时,花粉粒成熟期的花蕾、花药和叶片中IAA/ABA、(Z ZR)/ABA、GA3/ABA、IAA/GA3、(Z ZR)/GA3等5个激素的比值均有不育系低于保持系的趋势.本实验结果说明辣椒的育性表现与花器和叶片等组织中内源激素的含量变化有关,花药和花期叶片中IAA亏缺、GA3和ABA增加以及化蕾和叶片中ETH过度产生,都有可能导致辣椒雄性不育.     

葱胞质雄性不育花蕾生化物质含量和能量代谢酶活性的动态变化特征

以葱胞质雄性不育系CA及其同核异质保持系CB为试材,研究了花蕾发育过程中IAA、GA3、ZR、ABA含量以及细胞色素氧化酶(COD)和ATP酶(ATPase)活性、可溶性糖、游离氨基酸和可溶性蛋白质含量的动态变化规律.结果显示:(1)葱不育系花蕾的IAA和GA3含量在败育过程中显著低于保持系,而ZR和ABA含量则较保持系有不同程度的盈积.不育系花蕾COD和ATPase活性以及游离氨基酸含量、可溶性蛋白质含量在中蕾期后显著低于保持系,可溶性糖在不同发育时期均基本低于保持系.(2)不育系花蕾IAA和GA3含量与可溶性糖含量变化均呈显著正相关,不育系ZR和保持系ABA含量则分别与COD、ATPase活性以及可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质含量存在负相关关系.研究表明,葱胞质雄性不育系花蕾中IAA和GA3亏缺,而ZR和ABA盈余,各种内源激素含量和营养物质含量与能量代谢有关酶活性相关性不尽相同.     

小麦光温敏雄性不育系BNS育性转换与内源激素的关系研究

BNS是一种光温敏型小麦不育新类型,具有不育彻底、育性转换稳定等特性,对小麦杂种优势研究有重要价值。为研究内源激素在BNS育性调控中的作用,以秋播与春播BNS花粉发育的四分体期至三核期4个关键时期幼穗为实验材料,采用间接酶联免疫(ELISA)法分别测定了BNS不育和可育幼穗中生长素(IAA)、脱落酸(ABA)、赤霉素(GA3)和玉米素核苷(ZR)4种内源激素的含量变化。结果显示:(1)BNS在陕西关中地区正常秋播雄性不育、早春播雄性育性正常。(2)单核期和三核期是BNS温度敏感期,单核期均温高于15.35℃、三核期均温高于18.64℃时,BNS育性发生转换,雄性不育度随温度升高逐渐降低。(3)BNS在敏感期响应外界温度,4种内源激素的含量发生显著变化,调控育性表达;单核期不育幼穗中IAA、GA3和ZR含量比可育幼穗低21.9%、33.6%和30.2%,ABA含量反而增加23.4%;三核期不育幼穗ABA和ZR含量分别比可育幼穗高59.7%和31.4%,GA3则低44.0%。(4)与雄性可育幼穗相比,BNS雄性不育幼穗在单核期的IAA/GA3、ABA/GA3值偏高;二核期IAA/ABA值较低;三核期的IAA/GA3、ABA/GA3值较高,IAA/ABA值偏低。3个时期的IAA、ABA和GA3比例失调,阻碍了小孢子正常发育,导致BNS雄性败育。研究认为:BNS在花粉发育的单核期和三核期对外界温度变化敏感,通过内源激素代谢调控自身育性转换。     

甘蓝型油菜几个雄性不育系花药发育的细胞形态学研究

选用甘蓝型油菜6个细胞质雄性不育系和1个细胞核雄性不育系为材料,与可育系比较,确定花药发育受阻的时期和方式。根据研究结果,将其雄性不育系分为三类:1.湘矮A,Po-aA,陕2A和7s-3A花药发育受阻于孢原细胞分化期,没有分化形成花粉囊。2.萝AⅠ和萝AⅡ花药发育受阻于四分体至单核花粉期。败育方式为小孢子难以从四分体中释放出来,或释放出来后细胞质液泡化,核不能分裂,花粉壁发育不良。此外,还见到绒毡层径向肥大、延迟消失和维管束分化不良等异常现象。3.宜3A为核不育系,花药发育受阻于花粉母细胞期。败育方式为花粉母细胞死亡,减数分裂异常,或不能进行减数分裂。绒毡层和维管束一般都能正常发育。     

桔梗花粉母细胞减数分裂及雄性败育的细胞生理学研究

以桔梗不育系PA及其保持系PB为试验材料,采用石蜡切片和改良苯酚品红染色压片法对花粉母细胞减数分裂和雄配子体发育过程进行比较,探讨桔梗雄性不育系小孢子形成过程和败育发生的细胞生理学机理。结果表明:(1)桔梗保持系PB花粉母细胞减数分裂的细胞质分裂为同时型,同一花药减数分裂较同步;在中期Ⅰ和中期Ⅱ,少数细胞中可见赤道板外染色体;四分体以四面体为主,成熟花粉粒为二核花粉。(2)不育系PA花粉母细胞减数分裂后期Ⅰ开始出现异常,表现为细胞质形态改变,末期Ⅱ之后细胞质不能分裂,形成异常四分体,胼胝质壁不能溶解,四分体难以释放出游离小孢子而被降解,导致败育。(3)在发育过程中,桔梗不育系花蕾游离脯氨酸、可溶性蛋白含量低于保持系,而SOD活性、丙二醛含量均高于保持系。(4)桔梗不育系PA及其保持系PB花粉母细胞减数分裂和雄配子体发育过程存在明显差异,桔梗雄性败育过程大体可分为4个阶段,即后期Ⅰ细胞质异常、末期Ⅱ之后细胞质不能分裂、四分体难以释放游离小孢子、四分体被降解仅残留碎片。研究认为,桔梗不育花蕾(开花前)生长发育过程中,体内活性氧代谢紊乱、丙二醛积累及游离脯氨酸等"物质代谢损亏"可能是引起桔梗雄性败育的原因。     

红菜薹雄性不育系花药败育的细胞形态学观察

采用石蜡切片技术,在光学显微镜下系统研究了红菜薹(Brassica campestris L.ssp．chinensis L.var．utilis TsenetLee．)波里马胞质雄性不育系(Polima CMS)、红菜薹萝卜胞质雄性不育系(Ogura CMS)及相应保持系花药发育过程的细胞形态学特征。观察结果表明：红菜薹Polima CMS花药发育受阻于孢原细胞阶段,不形成花粉,属无花粉型,此不育系花药不形成绒毡层和中层;而红菜薹Ogura CMS花药败育发生于小孢子母细胞期或四分体时期,表现为绒毡层细胞异常,挤压四分体,导致四分体和绒毡层同时解体而败育。     

宁夏枸杞雄性不育花药中胼胝质动态变化特征

胼胝质是以β-1,3键结合的葡聚糖,其形成的壁结构只发生在特定组织。当其提前或延迟降解时,会导致花粉败育,明确胼胝质的沉积动态规律对探究雄性不育机理及利用枸杞雄性不育具有重要意义。本研究以宁夏枸杞(Lycium barbarum L.)可育系‘宁杞1号’与不育系‘宁杞5号’为实验材料,采用半薄切片技术,并利用苯胺蓝和标记胼胝质的方法和高碘酸-希夫反应(Periodic Acid-Schiff stain, PAS),在光学显微镜下对比观察了不同发育时期的宁夏枸杞可育和不育花药中胼胝质的动态变化特征,分析了胼胝质对不育系花药败育的影响。结果显示,小孢子母细胞时期,可育和不育花药小孢子母细胞外沉积形成厚薄不均的胼胝质壁,荧光反应显示减数分裂形成四分体后,胼胝质壁逐渐增厚。随着花药的进一步发育,可育花药中四分体外胼胝质壁逐渐解体、消失,释放出四个小孢子。而不育花药中四分体外的胼胝质壁不断增厚,并没有出现降解迹象,直至开花,药室中小孢子仍以四分体状态存在,已经变形、解体的四分体外仍包裹着胼胝质壁。胼胝质降解异常是导致宁夏枸杞花粉败育的结构原因。本文进一步对不育系四分体胼胝质壁未发生降解的原因进行了分析,为解析宁夏枸杞雄性不育机理提供理论基础。     

温敏雄性不育水稻培矮64S花药发育过程中钙的变化

采用焦锑酸钾沉淀法研究了温敏雄性不育水稻(Oryza sativa L.)培矮64S在高温引起雄性不育与正常可育花药发育过种中Ca2+的分布变化.结果表明,当培矮64S生长在较高温度条件下引起雄性不育,与可育花药相比,不育花粉母细胞中有较多的液泡、较多的Ca2+沉积和较少的线粒体,并且有较多的Ca2+沉积在不育花药的中间层、表皮层和绒毡层中.到四分体与单细胞花粉时期,不育花药的木质部细胞的次生加厚壁上有较多的Ca2+沉淀,连接组织中的Ca2+沉淀也大大增加,所有不育花粉外壁较厚而发育都不正常.在单核细胞早期,不育花粉的四分体细胞中有较明显的大液泡出现.不育花药中的Ca2+在花药发育的各时期均比可育花药要多.这些结果说明在高温生长条件下,花粉母细胞发育的异常、花药中Ca2+沉积的增加、绒毡层与花粉外壁发育的异常可能与培矮64S花粉败育相关.     

高羊茅花粉母细胞减数分裂及其雄性不育的细胞生理学研究

为探讨高羊茅雄性不育株A22013189的小孢子发育过程及其败育的生理学机理,以可育株189为对照,对其结实能力、花粉活力、花粉母细胞减数分裂进程中的染色体行为及生理生化特征进行研究。结果表明:(1)不育株A22013189花粉数量少,花粉粒空瘪皱褶,自交不结实,在杂交中作父本获得杂交后代的可能性极小。(2)从减数分裂前期Ⅰ至四分体时期,不育株A22013189花粉母细胞存在大量落后染色体、染色体桥和断片、微核、单价染色体、不均等分离、染色体分裂不同步、游离染色体、三分体、60°纺锤体、染色体缺失等异常现象,初步分析这些小孢子异常分裂是导致高羊茅花粉败育的细胞学原因之一。(3)不育株A22013189的可溶性蛋白质、可溶性糖含量在整个发育时期都显著低于同期可育株189;苗期至造孢细胞期,A22013189游离脯氨酸含量与可育株189无显著差异,但减数分裂期至花粉成熟期,A22013189游离脯氨酸含量却显著低于同期可育株189;苗期至造孢细胞期,A22013189丙二醛含量显著低于同期可育株189,但小孢子进入减数分裂期后,A22013189丙二醛的增加速度和积累量明显高于同期可育株189。研究发现,高羊茅雄性不育株花粉母细胞减数分裂染色体行为异常,生长发育过程存在物质能量代谢降低,有害物质积累现象。研究结果对于高羊茅败育机理研究及杂交育种亲本选择有重要的理论指导意义。     

峨眉拟单性木兰雄性不育的细胞形态学及生理生化特性研究

峨眉拟单性木兰(Parakmeria omeiensis)是木兰科(Magnoliaceae)拟单性木兰属(Parakmeria)的常绿乔木,属于国家Ⅰ级保护的极度濒危植物。为探究峨眉拟单性木兰两性花中雄性败育发生的时期及花药不同发育时期的生理生化特性,以两性花中的不育雄蕊和雄花中的可育雄蕊为材料,利用石蜡切片观察2种雄蕊的花药发育过程,并测定不同发育时期的可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白、脯氨酸的含量,分析过氧化氢酶(CAT)、过氧化物酶(POD)的活性。结果表明：(1)不育雄蕊与可育雄蕊在减速分裂时期出现明显差异,不育雄蕊的绒毡层致密、没有发育,四分体未形成,随后解体,花粉囊中无花粉;可育雄蕊的绒毡层和小孢子母细胞发育正常,成熟时花粉囊开裂,花粉粒溢出。(2)不育雄蕊的可溶性糖含量、可溶性蛋白含量、脯氨酸含量,在减数分裂时期、单核期和花粉成熟期都显著低于可育雄蕊。(3)不育雄蕊POD活性整体呈上升趋势,在减数分裂时期、单核期和花粉成熟期都显著高于可育雄蕊;不育雄蕊CAT活性整体呈下降趋势,显著低于同时期的可育雄蕊。综上认为,两性花中雄性败育发生在减速分裂时期,其败育的主要原因是物质能量代谢降低...     

Further studies of the sieve-element plastids of theCaryophyllales includingBarbeuia,Corrigiola, Lyallia,Microtea, Sarcobatus,andTelephium

The sieve-element plastids of 69 species of theCaryophyllales were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. All contained the specific subtype-P3 plastids characterized by a peripheral ring of protein filaments. The presence or absence of an additional central protein crystal and their shape being either polygonal or globular as well as the average sizes of the sieve-element plastids are useful features in the characterization of some families.—Barbeuia contains sieve-element plastids that confirm its placement within thePhytolaccaceae. Lyallia differs fromHectorella by including small starch grains in their sieve-element plastids, which otherwise by their globular crystals negate a closer connection to theCaryophyllaceae. The lack of a central protein crystal in its form-P3fs plastids placesMicrotea best within theChenopodiaceae. Sarcobatus, a so far uncontested member of theChenopodiaceae, contains form-P3cf plastids, i.e., including a central crystal not found elsewhere in this family.Telephium andCorrigiola, shifted back and forth betweenMolluginaceae andCaryophyllaceae, have form-P3cf(s) plastids with a polygonal crystal which favor their placement within theCaryophyllaceae.     

Synopsis of the tribe Bocageeae (Annonaceae), with revisions of Cardiopetalum,Froesiodendron, Trigynaea,Bocagea, and Hornschuchia

The tribal name Bocageeae Endlicher is reestablished and the tribe is circumscribed on the basis of solitary internodal ebracteate pedicels that are articulated at the base, and pollen shed in polyads of eight or more grains. Septate anther locules, large pollen size, and seed appendages are prevalent in the tribe. Intectate pollen with free-standing columellae, rare in Annonaceae, occurs not only in the genusTrigynaea but also in some species ofBocagea andHornschuchia. As defined here, the Bocageeae include seven neotropical genera:Cymbopetalum, Porcelia, Bocagea, Cardiopetalum, Froesiodendron, Hornschuchia, andTrigynaea. The latter five genera are revised and the treatments include ten new species:Cardiopetalum plicatum, Froesiodendron urceocalyx, Hornschuchia lianarum, H. santosii, H. leptandra, Trigynaea cinnamomea, T. lanceipetala, T. triplinervis, T. lagaropoda, andT. axilliflora, all from tropical South America. A new combination,Froesiodendron longicuspe, changes the rank of that taxon from subspecies to species.Cardiopetalum surinamense is removed fromFroesiodendron and reassigned toCardiopetalum on the basis of its connate petals, dehiscent monocarps, and seeds with bilobed arils. A cladogram provides an explicit hypothesis of intergeneric relationships in the tribe. The new combinationOnychopetalum periquino, based onTrigynaea periquino, is made.     

Entwicklungsgeschichte und Ultrastruktur von Pollenkitt und Exine bei nahe verwandten entomophilen und anemophilen Angiospermensippen derAlismataceae,Liliaceae, Juncaceae,Cyperaceae, Poaceae undAraceae

Some closely related members of the monocotyledonous familiesAlismataceae, Liliaceae, Juncaceae, Cyperaceae, Poaceae andAraceae with variable modes of pollination (insect- and wind-pollination) were studied in relation to the ultrastructure of pollenkitt and exine (amount, consistency and distribution of pollenkitt on the surface of pollen grains). The character syndromes of pollen cementing in entomophilous, anemophilous and intermediate (ambophilous or amphiphilous) monocotyledons are the same in principal as in dicotyledons. Comparing present with former results one can summarize: 1) The pollenkitt is always produced in the same manner by the anther tapetum in all angiosperm sub-classes. 2) The variable stickiness of entomophilous and anemophilous pollen always depends on the particular distribution and consistency of the pollenkitt, but not its amount on the pollen surface. 3) The mostly dry and powdery pollen of anemophilous plants always contains a variable amount of inactive pollenkitt in its exine cavities. 4) A step-by step change of the pollen cementing syndrome can be observed from entomophily towards anemophily. 5) From the omnipresence of pollenkitt in all wind-pollinated angiosperms studied one can conclude that the ancestors of anemophilous angiosperms probably have been zoophilous (i.e. entomophilous) throughout.

     

Novel phenylanthraquinones,isofuranonaphthoquinones, homoisoflavonoids,and biflavonoids from African plants in the genera Bulbine,Scilla, Ledebouria,and Rhus

The sale of non-cultivated plants poses a real threat to the survival of a large number of plant species. On the other hand, the fact that a given plant has become a traded item is an important lead in the effort to investigate plants for the purpose of discovering novel secondary metabolites that may have marketable properties. This report is largely based on the investigations of plants collected from vendors of medicinal plants. The identification is based on botanical specimens derived from the purchased plant parts either by growing them in a garden or through micropropagation using tissue culture techniques. Bulbine species yielded novel phenyl anthraquinones and isofuranonaphthoquinones, which were found to exhibit antiparasitic and antioxidant properties. Scilla nervosa subsp. rigidifolia and Ledebouria graminifolia yielded twenty homoisoflavonoids and two xanthones. Bulbs derived from tissue culture based specimens of L. graminifolia contained all the compounds isolated from the marketed samples. Some of the homoisoflavonoids were found to possess activity against colon and breast cancer cell lines. Rhus pyroides furnished six novel bichalcones some of which exhibited insect antifeedant, cytotoxic and antiproliferative activities. Structures of the compounds described in this report were elucidated by spectroscopic means including HRMS and 1D-, and 2D-NMR experiments. Interconversion of some of the phenyl anthraquinones was accomplished as part of their structure proof. The total synthesis of three of the biflavonoids was achieved using a synthetic route which involves a microwave irradiation promoted Ulmann synthesis. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Gametogenesis,endosperm development,and embryogeny inMicrocarpaea muscosa (Scrophulariaceae,Gratioleae)

InMicrocarpaea muscosa gametogenesis, embryo sac development (Polygonum type), endosperm development (cellular), embryogeny (Onagrad type), and seed structure are described. The different modes of endosperm development withinGratioleae are compared.     

rbcL sequences support exclusion ofRetzia,Desfontainia, andNicodemia from theGentianales

The taxonomic positions ofRetzia, Desfontainia, andNicodemia have been much discussed, and all three genera have been included inLoganiaceae (Gentianales). We have made a cladistic analysis ofrbcL gene sequences to determine the relationships of these taxa toGentianales. Four newrbcL sequences are presented; i.e., ofRetzia, Desfontainia, Diervilla (Caprifoliaceae), andEuthystachys (Stilbaceae). Our results show thatRetzia, Desfontainia, andNicodemia are not closely related toLoganiaceae or theGentianales. Retzia is most closely related toEuthystachys and is better included inStilbaceae. The positions ofDesfontainia andNicodemia are not settled, butDesfontainia shows affinity for theDipsacales s.l. andNicodemia for theLamiales s.l.     

A reconsideration of the genusRabdosiella (Lamiaceae,Nepetoideae, Ocimeae)

The two generaPlectranthus andIsodon are compared and found to be very dissimilar.Isodon ist considered to be misplaced inOcimeae subtribePlectranthinae and apparently is more closely related to subtribeHyptidinae. The disjunct genusRabdosiella is compared to these two genera and regarded to be polyphyletic. The AfricanR. calycina (Benth.)Codd is returned toPlectranthus and calledP. calycinus Benth., while the AsianR. ternifolia (D. Don)Codd is placed inIsodon sect.Pyramidium and calledI. ternifolius (D. Don)Kudo.     

Puccinia carici-adenocauli, a new rust fungus onCarex, and its anamorph,Aecidium adenocauli

Field observations and inoculation experiments showed thatAecidium adenocauli onAdenocaulon himalaicum was an anamorph of aPuccinia onCarex hakonensis andC. uda. From comparative morphology with caricicolous puccinias, the rust on theseCarex species was considered as a new species and was named asPuccinia carici-adenocauli.

A New Family,Alteromonadaceae fam. nov., Including Marine Proteobacteria of the Genera Alteromonas,Pseudoalteromonas, Idiomarina,and Colwellia

The taxonomic positions of the marine genera Alteromonas, Pseudoalteromonas, Idiomarina, and Colwellia within the gamma subclass of the class Proteobacteria were specified on the basis of their phenotypic, genotypic, and phylogenetic characteristics. Gram-negative aerobic bacteria of the genera Alteromonas, Pseudoalteromonas, and Idiomarina and facultatively anaerobic bacteria of the genus Colwellia were found to form a phylogenetic cluster with a 16S rRNA sequence homology of 90% or higher. The characteristics of these genera presented in this paper allow their reliable taxonomic identification. Based on the analysis of our experimental data and analyses available in the literature, we propose to combine the genera Alteromonas, Pseudoalteromonas, Idiomarina, and Colwellia into a new family, Alteromonadaceae fam. nov., with the type genus Alteromonas.
