大花睡莲种子至种苗的发育形态学研究

为了探索睡莲目与泽泻目个体发育早期的共性,追踪观察了大花睡莲种子至种苗的发育过程。结果发现：种子胚苗端发育先于根端;萌发时首先出现下胚轴,继而末端膨大产生下胚轴毛,最后胚根分化;初生根短命;节生根后发生但较粗壮,浮水叶开始产生时根茎第一节以下部分随即烂掉;种苗的各器官中均有发达的通气组织等基本上与芡、泽泻和黑藻相似。     

芡个体发育早期的研究

本文研究了芡个体发育的早期, 即心形胚至种苗。心形胚至成熟胚表现为:苗端先发育, 根端弱育;胚芽叶节上的节生根原基先发育, 根端无明显分化。种子胚至种苗表现为:种子萌发时, 下胚轴末端产生多细胞分枝下胚轴毛;种苗形成中, 节生根先发育, 胚根后发育, 且长达1mm左右即停止生长。这些器官发育顺序上的特点在被子植物中是很特殊的, 应该是系统发生上的原始性状。下胚轴毛是水生或湿生被子植物比较普遍的性状, 是区分下胚轴与胚根的指示性状。     

龙胆个体发育早期器官发育形态学研究

为进一步了解被子植物个体发育早期形态与结构的多样性,研究了龙胆合子至种苗阶段的发育过程及特征。结果表明:龙胆的胚发育属于茄型,胚乳发育为核型,蒴果开裂时散落出来的种子内的胚分化不完全,大部分处于心形胚或鱼雷胚阶段。种子萌发时胚根依靠下胚轴细胞伸长突破种皮,在下胚轴和胚根交界处形成根环,随后根环上发育出根环毛,毛的生长在早期快于胚根,随着胚根的发育,正常根毛在其先端逐渐出现。子叶状态的种苗至少停滞约10 d才见真叶发育,但在地上停滞发育的同时,地下的胚根却继续生长。这些器官发育顺序上的特点既反映祖先的水生孑遗原始性状,又反映了其对现存偏旱生境的适应性状,是次生陆生的进一步演化。     

小麦种子根的发育解剖

小麦胚胎发育过程中通常形成5条幼根(少数可形成6条),这些根统称为种子根,中间最先发生的为初生根.初生根的原基在胚胎发育的早期就在胚轴的一侧发生,原基细胞由不规则到规则排列。侧生种子根的原基在胚胎发育后期才出现,通常成对发生,并且是由胚轴上的节(盾片节和胚芽鞘节)维管束外方的细胞形成。侧生种子根的发育明显较初生根的快,分化能力也较强,后生木质部导管母细胞出现早,数目较多.因此,小麦胚胎发育过程中从胚轴上形成的这些侧生的种子根,形态上,仍应看作是一些不定根,其结构特征与后来形成须根系的不定根的比较近似。

黑藻早期个体发育的研究

对黑藻（Hydrilla verticillata）个体发育中的胚胎发育（从合子到种子胚）和种苗发育（从种子到种苗）进行了研究。发现沉水植物黑藻与挺水植物泽泻（Alisma orientale）在胚柄只有1～2个细胞、种子胚苗端发达根端未分化、萌发后根端始分化、分生区之上产生根环与下胚轴毛、初生根短命等特点上基本相同,并对这些特点进行了讨论。     

泽泻个体发育早期器官发育顺序的研究

研究了泽泻个体发育早期的器官发育顺序。认为可以划分为两个阶段：原胚－成熟种子胚阶段,以苗端发育先于根端和胚芽节生根原基并快于胚根原基为特点;种子萌发一种苗形成阶段,以胚根生长快于胚芽节生根为特点。并指出前者与水生植物芡和睡莲一致,后者与陆生植物条叶龙胆一致。     

长喙毛茛泽泻胚中营养物质的积累与消耗

长喙毛茛泽泻是一种水生濒危植物。它的种子中没有胚乳,营养物质以淀粉和帽白体的形式贮藏在胚中。胚不同部位物质积累情况差异较大,下胚轴和子地细胞中的淀粉,蛋白体数目多,体积大,胚芽和胚根分生细胞中只贮藏有少量的淀粉粒和蛋白体。     

桃儿七种子解剖结构及其萌发生长期形态特征

为探明种皮和胚乳是否是限制桃儿七种子萌发的主要因素,利用组织切片和显微技术,对桃儿七种子及其不同萌发期（1、7、14、21、28 d）解剖结构和播种后一定时期内（7~210 d）的植株生长形态进行观察。桃儿七种子由种皮、胚乳和胚构成。种皮包括外种皮和内种皮,外种皮致密规整,由外至内分别为栅状石细胞和表皮层细胞,内种皮由5~6层海绵细胞组成。胚乳占种子体积的绝大部分,包括珠孔胚乳和外胚乳。胚由胚根、胚轴和子叶组成,被致密种皮、多层珠孔胚乳和外胚乳包围。萌发期1~7 d胚根和胚轴开始伸长,7~14 d两片子叶分离,14~21 d胚根突破珠孔胚乳和种皮,21~28 d胚根、胚轴和子叶继续扩张伸长。种子播种210 d后可平均形成3片功能真叶和5条不定根。致密种皮（物理休眠）和多层胚乳（机械休眠）是限制桃儿七种子萌发的两个主要因素。     

平贝母地下器官生长发育规律的研究

本文在对平贝母个体发育一般观察的基础上,重点研究了地下器官的生长发育规律。揭示了鳞茎在个体发育中的主导地位;来自胚根的初生根和由不定根组成的须根系都是短命的;须根系的发育特点为跨年全更替型。无论初生根或须根系的细胞中均未发现贮藏淀粉。这可能与贮藏器官鳞茎的发达有关。     

Seedling developmental anatomy of an undescribed Malaccotristicha species (Podostemaceae, subfamily Tristichoideae) with implications for body plan evolution

The seedling development of an undescribed Malaccotristicha species was observed by using seedling culture and microtomy to infer the evolution of body plan with a focus on the root, which is a developmentally leading organ of most Podostemaceae. The young seedling has a small primary shoot apical meristem and a primary root apical meristem. The shoot meristem develops into a plumular ramulus, and the root meristem, into a cylindrical radicle with no root cap. The radicle transforms to a dorsiventral, flattened, capped primary root. An adventitious root develops endogenously on the lateral side of the hypocotyl and is similar to the primary root. This is a new pattern in Podostemaceae. Comparison of this and described patterns of Podostemaceae (and the sister-group Hypericaceae) suggests that the radicle was lost in the early evolution of Podostemaceae and instead adventitious roots replaced it as a leading organ.     

In vitro regeneration of commercial cultivars of subterranean clover

Regeneration of subterranean clover (Trifolium subterraneum L.) was achieved by both shoot organogenesis and somatic embryogenesis. Shoots derived via organogenesis were initiated from the hypocotyls of mature imbibed seed. The hypocotyl, including the emerging radicle, was sliced longitudinally into two halves and cultured on shoot induction medium. After 30 days, adventitious shoots were formed from the hypocotyl region while the radicle showed no development. Shoots were then subcultured onto shoot multiplication medium and finally onto a root initiation medium. Histological studies revealed that shoots arose de novo and did not originate from pre-existing meristems. In the second regeneration protocol, shoot apical meristems from young seedlings were induced to form callus. Following four to six weeks culture in the dark, somatic embryos appeared spontaneously on the calli. A majority of embryos had a well-defined root pole, two cotyledonary lobes, and were capable of germination, albeit at a low frequency. Regenerated plants obtained from both protocols appeared phenotypically normal.     

Shoot organogenesis from cultured seed explants of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) using thidiazuron

Summary Thidiazuron (TDZ) was utilized to induce adventitious shoot formation from the hypocotyl region of cultured seed explants of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.). Excision of the radicle from seed explants was more stimulatory to shoot initiation than removal of the epicotyl alone. Removal of both the radicle and the epicotyl from seeds resulted in a 37-fold increase in the frequency of shoot production when compared to intact seeds. Half seed explants with epicotyl and radicle removed produced the greatest number of shoots per explant. Explants from mature seeds were more responsive to TDZ than immature seed-derived explants. A 1-wk exposure to 10 μM TDZ was sufficient to stimulate the initiation of adventitious shoots that subsequently developed into plants. High frequency of shoot initiation was readily induced in a variety of genotypes ofA. hypogaea and a wild peanut (A. glabrata). Plants regenerated from shoots induced by TDZ were phenotypically normal and fertile.     

黄精种子萌发过程发育解剖学研究

采用石蜡切片技术对成熟黄精种子形态及萌发过程中的形态学变化及解剖结构特征进行了研究,以阐明黄精种子繁殖的生物学机制。结果显示:(1)成熟的黄精种子由外而内依次为种皮、胚乳和胚等3部分组成。其中种皮由一层木质化的细胞组成;胚乳占据种子的大部分结构,胚乳细胞含有大量淀粉,细胞壁增厚;胚处于棒型胚阶段。(2)黄精种子在萌发过程中棒型胚靠近种脐端分化为吸器、子叶联结和子叶鞘,靠近种孔的部位分化出胚根、胚轴和胚芽。(3)黄精种子萌发首先由子叶联结伸长将胚芽和胚根原基推出种孔,紧接着下胚轴膨大形成初生小根茎,吸器留在种子中分解吸收胚乳中的营养物质。(4)通过子叶联结连通吸器和初生小根茎,将胚乳中的营养物质由吸器-子叶联结这个通路转移到初生小根茎中,为初生根茎上胚芽和胚根的进一步分化提供物质保障。(5)黄精种子自然条件下萌发率较低,而且当年不出土。研究表明,黄精种子的繁殖生物学特性是其生态适应的一种重要机制。     

Formation and function of secondary aerenchyma in hypocotyl, roots and nodules of soybean (Glycine max) under flooded conditions

Flooding is a major problem in many areas of the world and soybean is susceptible to the stress. Understanding the morphological mechanisms of flooding tolerance is important for developing flood-tolerant genotypes. We investigated secondary aerenchyma formation and function in soybean (Glycine max) seedlings grown under flooded conditions. Secondary aerenchyma, a white and spongy tissue, was formed in the hypocotyl, tap root, adventitious roots and root nodules after 3 weeks of flooding. Under irrigated conditions aerenchyma development was either absent or rare and phellem was formed in the hypocotyl, tap root, adventitious roots and root nodules. Secondary meristem partially appeared at the outer parts of the interfascicular cambium and girdled the stele, and then cells differentiated to construct secondary aerenchyma in the flooded hypocotyl. These morphological changes proceeded for 4 days after the initiation of the flooding. After 14 days of treatment, porosity exceeded 30% in flooded hypocotyl with well-developed secondary aerenchyma, while it was below 10% in hypocotyl of irrigated plants that had no aerenchyma. When Vaseline was applied to the hypocotyl of plants from a flooded treatment to prevent the entry of atmospheric oxygen into secondary aerenchyma, plant growth, especially that of roots, was sharply inhibited. Thus secondary aerenchyma might be an adaptive response to flooding.     

Growth and reproductive characteristics of an aquatic macrophyte Ottelia alismoides (L.) Pers. (Hydrocharitaceae)

Life history and reproductive traits of a submerged aquatic weed, Ottelia alismoides (L.) Pers., were studied in irrigation ponds in southwestern Japan. In addition, growth and seed production were investigated in relation to nutrient condition and water depth. The size of plants was very variable but reproductive allocation was nearly constant irrespective of the plant size at reproductive stage, amounting to more than 30% at maximum. Bagging experiments confirmed autogamy of the species. Ottelia alismoides grew best in nutrient-rich water with mud substratum. The optimal water depth for the growth of the species was approximately 50 cm compared with 20 and 90 cm. However, the reproductive allocation and seed set rate did not change much in different nutrient and water depth conditions. The seeds were produced by cleistogamous flowers in a depth of 90 cm. Morphological and ecological plasticity revealed in the present study was considered to be adapted to unstable environments such as rice fields and irrigation ponds liable to water-level fluctuation. The conditions required for the restoration of the populations of O. alismoides are discussed based on the present results.     

STUDIES ON THE SEED OF BANANA. II. THE ANATOMY AND MORPHOLOGY OF THE SEEDLING OF MUSA BALBISIANA

Mc Gahan , Merritt W. (Central Research Labs., United Fruit Co., Norwood, Massachusetts.) Studies on the seed of banana. II. The anatomy and morphology of the seedling of Musa balbisiana. Amer. Jour. Bot. 48(7): 630–637. Illus. 1961.—The first external evidence of germination of the seed of Musa balbisiana is the displacement of the micropylar plug by the elongation of the hypocotyl-radicle axis. As the hypocotyl and epicotyl emerge from the micropylar collar, the seminal adventitious roots become apparent and the cotyledonary sheath surrounding the epicotyl emerges as a coleoptile-like structure. Subsequent growth results in the elongation of the first leaves beyond the cotyledonary sheath and the rapid elongation of the adventitious root system. The vascular transition occurs between the cotyledon and the radicle. The sheath is considered to be only analogous to the coleoptile of the grasses.     

Organ identity of the thalloid plant body of Griffithella hookeriana and Polypleurum stylosum – Podostemoideae (Podostemaceae)

The morphological nature of the thalloid plant body of podostemads has remained controversial for long. The present investigation was carried out on two members of the Podostemoideae i.e. Griffithella hookeriana and Polypleurum stylosum to understand their organ identity. The origin of the plant body was traced from the embryo by germinating the seeds under aseptic conditions. Mature embryo of both species does not show an identifiable shoot apical meristem (SAM) and root apical meristem (RAM). Upon germination, the radicular pole does not form a primary root but differentiates adhesive hairs. At the cotyledonary junction, SAM is initiated that differentiates 6–9 leaves apically (primary axis) and a primordium laterally. This primordium subsequently emerges from the hypocotyl and develops into a thalloid plant. The latter has been interpreted as a flattened stem because it not only shows tunica-corpus like organization at the tip but also originates endogenously from the same SAM that forms the `primary axis'.     

乡土植物白刺花对紫茎泽兰化感作用的响应

为了解乡土植物白刺花对紫茎泽兰化感作用的耐受程度及抵御机理,以2—3年生紫茎泽兰叶片为供体材料,用不同浓度的紫茎泽兰叶片浸提液处理白刺花种子及幼苗。结果表明:紫茎泽兰叶片浸提液对白刺花的影响为低浓度促进,高浓度抑制。当浓度为0.5%时促进效应最强,当浓度大于2.0%时抑制效应明显增加。白刺花种子萌发速率比萌发率对紫茎泽兰化感作用反应敏感,胚轴比胚根敏感,随着幼苗的生长,其抵御紫茎泽兰化感作用的能力逐渐增强,丙二醛的含量与植株生长响应规律相对应,并且经紫茎泽兰浸提液处理能极大的增加白刺花幼苗菌根率,缩短菌根形成的时间。
