中华水韭(Isoetes sinensis Palmer)为国家一级保护野生植物,被评价为极度濒危级(CR),仅分布在长江中下游,对环境污染敏感。本文以其人工苗为材料,用石蜡切片法,连续观察了根和叶的发育特征:叶原基横切面呈端部渐圆的三角形,由表皮原、皮层原和中柱原三部分组成;维管束中央首先出现的一个原生管胞,与其近轴面两侧后出现的两个后生管胞共同组成倒“V”字型的外始式初生木质部;成熟叶分化出表皮与皮层,表皮细胞间有嵌合,皮层部分细胞裂解成彼此不相通的4个通气道。根横切面呈圆形,成熟区分化出表皮、皮层(外皮层、中皮层、内皮层)和维管束三部分,中皮层部分细胞裂解呈一个完整的筒状通气道并与外皮层无连接,由内皮层包围的维管束横切面呈三角形。讨论了根和叶的形态结构、功能及系统学意义。     

虉草营养器官解剖结构与抗旱耐涝性及利用之间的关系

为了从显微结构上进一步探讨虉草(Phalaris arundinacea L.)的抗旱耐涝性及与利用的关系,于2011年采用常规石蜡切片技术,对其根、茎叶3种营养器官进行解剖观察。结果表明,虉草根的结构自外而内依次为表皮、皮层、维管束鞘、初生韧皮部和初生木质部;茎由表皮、基本组织和维管束构成;叶片内部结构可分为表皮、叶肉和叶脉3部分。根皮层大的细胞间隙和气腔,初生木质部的后生大导管和茎基本组织解体形成的髓腔都是虉草良好的通气组织,是其耐水淹的主要显微特征。茎、叶片角质化的表皮和叶表皮所含的丰富泡状细胞组是虉草具有抗旱性的主要解剖结构特征。叶肉细胞排列紧密且只有少量气孔分布于叶片下表皮,这样的结构可减少蒸腾;叶肉细胞富含叶绿体,增强光合作用,获得更多的同化产物,确保了植株在干旱条件下也有足够的光合产物来维持正常的生理活动。茎、叶维管束部分大量的木纤维起到支撑作用。虉草根的皮层和维管柱部分、茎的基本组织和维管束部分、叶的叶脉部分都含有大面积的厚壁细胞,厚壁细胞中含有丰富的粗纤维和木质素。丰富的粗纤维、木质素等成分则是虉草能成为新能源燃料植物的必备条件。

泽漆营养器官发育解剖学研究

采用石蜡切片法、半薄切片法对泽漆营养器官的发育过程进行了观察,同时对3种器官中乳汁管的分布和大小进行了分析。结果表明:泽漆根的发育类似于草本双子叶植物根的一般发育规律。初生木质部为三原型。茎的初生结构由表皮、皮层、维管束环和髓构成,其髓中有空腔,而茎的次生生长过程中维管形成层的活动短暂,仅产生少量次生维管组织,不形成周皮。叶的发育包括原分生组织、初生分生组织和成熟结构3个阶段,属于异面叶结构。泽漆乳汁管主要分布在维管束韧皮部的外侧。在3种器官中,乳汁管直径差异较大,依次为根>茎>叶。     

都支杜鹃茎、叶解剖特征与环境的适应性

利用光学显微解剖技术,对生长于大别山区的都支杜鹃（Rhododendron shanii Fang)的茎、叶进行了解剖学与环境适应性之间的关系研究。结果表明：叶的上表皮具有厚的角质膜、复表皮、气孔缺失;下表皮被毛,气孔分布密集,气孔突出;叶肉中栅栏组织和纤维丰富,且纤维呈束存在,并形成了叶肉中的支撑系统,海绵组织内具有发达的通气组织;茎中木栓宽广,次生韧皮部与次生木质部厚度比是1/5,次生木质部中管孔直径狭窄、管密孔集,绝大多数为管胞,同时木纤维十分丰富。上述结构的特异性均表明茎和叶在诸多方面表现为结构与环境的统一性,是特殊综合生态环境长期作用的结果。复表皮、主脉周韧维管束、次生木质部缺少导管等这些特征均说明都支杜鹃在系统分类中应处于较原始的地位。

STRUCTURALLY PRESERVED FOSSIL PLANTS FROM ANTARCTICA. I. ANTARCTICYCAS,GEN. NOV., A TRIASSIC CYCAD STEM FROM THE BEARDMORE GLACIER AREA

Silicified stems with typical cycadalean anatomy are described from specimens collected from the Fremouw Formation (Triassic) in the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica. Axes are slender with a large parenchymatous pith and cortex separated by a narrow ring of vascular tissue. Mucilage canals are present in both pith and cortex. Vascular tissue consists of endarch primary xylem, a narrow band of secondary xylem tracheids, cambial zone, and region of secondary phloem. Vascular bundles contain uni- to triseriate rays with larger rays up to 2 mm wide separating the individual bundles. Pitting on primary xylem elements ranges from helical to scalariform; secondary xylem tracheids exhibit alternate circular bordered pits. Traces, often accompanied by a mucilage canal, extend out through the large rays into the cortex where some assume a girdling configuration. A zone of periderm is present at the periphery of the stem. Large and small roots are attached to the stem and are conspicuous in the surrounding matrix. The anatomy of the Antarctic cycad is compared with that of other fossil and extant cycadalean stems.

Hapsidoxylon terpsichorum gen. et sp. nov., a stem with unusual anatomy from the Triassic of Antarctica

The Middle Triassic flora of the Fremouw Formation in the central Transantarctic Mountains consists of conifers, cycads, ferns, pteridosperms, and sphenophytes. Stems with an unusual anatomy have been discovered within silicified peat from the same locality. The diameters of the stems range from 1.4 to 1.7 cm; the longest specimen is approximately 12 cm. In transverse section the vascular system consists of segments that occur as single traces or are connected in the center and anastomose at varying levels within the stem. Each segment contains a bifacial vascular cambium. Secondary tissues of each segment surround a central area of parenchyma and small tracheids presumed to represent primary xylem. Surrounding the stem is a periderm. Traces are produced near the periphery of the axis and consist of radially arranged secondary xylem and a thick periderm. The absence of leaves and reproductive organs leads to uncertain phylogenetic relationships. We are unaware of any Triassic plants with this type of vascular tissue organization, and those plants with a similar type of arrangement occur only in the Devonian and Carboniferous. Possible phylogenetic affinities with the Cladoxylales and Lycophyta are examined, but the anatomical differences, along with stratigraphic age, preclude formal assignment to any known taxon at this time. Therefore, we have assigned it to a new taxon: Hapsidoxylon terpsichorum gen. et sp. nov.     

木立芦荟叶的发育解剖学研究

应用植物解剖学方法研究了木立芦荟（Aloe arborescens Mill.)叶的发育过程。研究结果表明,叶原基在发育早期其形态是不对称的,内部为同形细胞组成,但很快分化成原表皮,原形成层束和基本分生组织。以后,原表皮发育成表皮,位于原表皮下的2－5层基本分生组织细胞发民同化薄壁组织,而位于中央的基本分生组织细胞则发育成储水薄壁组织,原形成层束发育成维管束。维管束由维管束鞘、木质部、韧皮部和大型薄壁细胞组成。大型薄壁细胞起源于原形成层束,位于韧皮部内,其发育迟于筛管、伴胞,为芦荟属植物叶的结构特征。

Monocot Xylem Revisited: New Information,New Paradigms

Five sources of data force extensive revision of ideas about the nature and evolution of monocot xylem: scanning electron microscopy (SEM) studies of thick sections; availability of molecular phylogenies covering a relatively large number of families and genera; information on ecology and habitat; data concerning habit; and observations from xylem physiology. These five new sources of data, absent from the studies of Cheadle, plus added information from light microscopy, lead to a fresh understanding of how xylem has evolved in monocots. Tracheary elements hitherto recorded as vessel elements with scalariform end walls prove in a number of instances, to retain pit membranes (often porous or reticulate) in the end walls. There is not an inexorable progression from "primitive" to "specialized" xylem in monocots; apparent accelerations or reversions are also possible. The latter include such changes as the result of production of narrower vessel elements; or production of less metaxylem, which is probably heterochronic in nature (an extreme form of juvenilism). Tracheary elements intermediate between vessel elements and tracheids must be recognized for what they are, and not forced into mutually exclusive categories. Original data on tracheids and various types of vessel elements is related here to ecology and habit of groups such as Asteliaceae, Boryaceae, Cyclanthaceae, Orchidaceae, Pandanaceae, Taccaceae, Typhaceae, dracaenoid Asparagaceae, and Zingiberales. Data from palm xylem shows a nearly unique syndrome of features that can be explained with the aid of information from physiology and ecology. Vessellessness of stems and leaves characterizes a large number of monocot species; the physiological and ecological significance of these is highlighted. An understanding of how non-palm arborescent monocots combine an all-tracheid stem xylem with addition of bundles and vegetative modifications is attempted. The effect of the disjunction between xylems of adventitious roots and stems, providing a physiologically demonstrated valve ("rectifier") effect is discussed. "Ecological iteration" has occurred in some monocot lineages, so that early-departing branches in some cases may have more "specialized" xylem because of entry into xeric habitats, whereas nearby crown groups, which may have retained "primitive" xylem, probably represent long occupation of mesic habitats. Cheadle's use of xylem for "negations" of phyletic pathways can no longer be accepted. Symplesiomorphic mesomorphic xylem patterns do characterize many of the earlier-departing branches in the monocots as a whole, however. Cheadle's idea that monocots and non-monocot angiosperms attained vessels independently is improbable in the light of molecular trees for angiosperms. Vessels in roots seem an adaptation to major swings in moisture availability to adventitious roots as compared to taproots. The commonness of all-tracheid plans in stems and leaves in earlier-departing monocot clades is a feature that requires further clarification but is primarily related to the xylem disjunction that adventitious roots have. Secondary vessellessness or something very close to it can be hypothesized for Campynemataceae, Philesiaceae, Taccaceae, and some Orchidaceae. Eleven salient shifts in our conceptual views of monocot xylem are proposed and conclude the paper. Monocot xylem is not a collection of historical information, but a rigorously parsimonious system related to contemporary habits and habitats.     

极小种群野生植物大树杜鹃的解剖结构研究

大树杜鹃(Rhododendron protistum var.giganteum)是杜鹃花科(Ericaceae)杜鹃属的常绿乔木,由于分布地域的局限性和资源的稀少性,该植物被列为我国首批极小种群野生植物保护名录。本文采用石蜡切片法和叶表皮装片法对大树杜鹃叶片、幼茎和根的解剖结构进行了研究,并利用扫描电镜对其种子表面纹饰、气孔以及叶毛被特征进行了观察。石蜡切片显微观察结果显示,大树杜鹃根的次生结构主要由周皮和维管柱组成,茎的解剖结构由表皮、皮层、韧皮部、木质部和髓组成;大树杜鹃的叶为异面叶,上表皮具角质层,气孔器只分布于下表皮,气孔器类型为无规则型,叶脉具发达的维管束鞘延伸区。扫描电镜观察结果发现,大树杜鹃叶片毛被由两层不同类型的毛组成,即上面一层为海绵状绒毛,下面一层为短的薄片状绒毛;种子具翅,有明显的背腹面之分,背腹面纵纹明显。该研究结果为进一步探明大树杜鹃的生物学特征、确定其系统分类位置和探讨其生境适应性提供了科学依据。
