星叶草叶脉序的形态学及其系统学意义

在星叶草叶二叉分枝脉序中,网结脉中2条完全汇合叶脉与靠近脉中完全分离叶脉间未发现任 何形式的维管束汇合的中间类型,相反观察到了网结脉中不同程度的连接脉退化的痕迹,因此网结脉不可能由靠近脉形成;盲脉的出现与齿的退化、网结脉中连接脉的间断及非网结脉由分枝处间断等相关;上述事实表明星叶草叶的二叉分枝脉序应为一减化性状。     

独叶草叶片性状表型多样性研究

独叶草是特产于中国的一种珍稀濒危植物.为研究独叶草自然居群的叶片形态变异特征及影响因素,选取分布于陕西、四川、甘肃的9个自然居群,对独叶草叶片的叶面积、叶柄长、总齿数、末级叶脉数、盲脉数、网结脉数等指标进行统计分析.结果表明:(1)独叶草叶片各属性间存在显著相关性,个别性状表现出与地理位置的相关性.(2)主成分分析显示独叶草的末级叶脉数、叶面积、总齿数对变异有较大贡献,而网结脉贡献很小.(3)独叶草叶片性状居群间变异程度大于居群内,其中盲脉数量在各个居群间变异程度最大,而末级叶脉数为最稳定的性状.(4)将本研究中形态变异结果与前期的遗传分析结果对比分析认为独叶草形态变异主要来自生态环境,而非遗传组成.(5)独叶草居群的形态及遗传变异聚类结果都显示独叶草形态变异并不具有地理格局规律,可能由于地质历史变化打断了独叶草原本连续的分布区,遗传保守性使其仍然保持分布区断裂前的遗传特性,但其表型随着生境的变化表现出可塑性.     

中国木犀属植物叶脉形态及其分类学意义

国产柳属繁柳组植物叶脉序研究及其分类学意义

采取脉络法,对柳属（Salix）繁柳组（Sect.Denticulatae C.K.Schneid.）17种及1变种进行叶片脉序观察。结果表明：繁柳组植物叶脉序类型均为直行羽状脉,表现出较高的一致性。该组植物均有二级间脉,但类型各有不同;三级脉及较高级脉序大体有三种类型;网眼发育完善或不完善;盲脉偶有不分枝;不同种之间网眼的发育以及盲脉分枝具有显著差异,是有价值的分类性状。根据聚类分析,繁柳组植物叶脉序分为两种类型：草地柳（S.praticola Hand.-Mazz.ex Enander）类型及腹毛柳（S.delavayana Hand.-Mazz.）类型,研究结果与形态学结果基本一致,但叶脉序提供了新的分类学性状,可为柳属植物疑难种的分类寻找新的依据。

依据植物野外和腊叶标本形态观察以及小叶脉序观察,对贺兰山岩黄耆(豆科)及其近缘种进行了分类学研究。结果表明:贺兰山岩黄耆及其近缘种之间较为稳定的差别体现在花器官的形态方面。贺兰山岩黄耆与短翼岩黄耆的主要区别特征是小苞片长为萼筒的1～2倍,旗瓣与龙骨瓣近等长,而后者的小苞片长为萼筒的0.5～0.8倍,旗瓣长为龙骨瓣的0.8倍。贺兰山岩黄耆与华北岩黄耆和费尔干岩黄耆的主要区别是翼瓣长为龙骨瓣的0.3～0.5倍,而后二者的翼瓣长均为龙骨瓣的0.7～0.8倍。在小叶脉序特征方面,贺兰山岩黄耆与短翼岩黄耆和华北岩黄耆近似,均为小叶一级脉纤细,二级脉不分支,二级脉环外有较多网结三级脉,具少量复合二级间脉或不明显,而费尔干岩黄耆小叶一级脉粗,二级脉多分支,二级脉环外有少量网结三级脉,具明显的简单二级间脉。此外,小叶脉序特征可能在岩黄耆属组间关系的探讨中发挥作用。

“独叶草”并非独叶

独叶草为多年生小草本,根状茎发达,通常被描述为只生1片叶子。其实则不然,在其根状茎上大约每10cm左右就生有1个叶,一棵植株通常生有许多叶子。如果根据其学名,称其为“独花草”可能更确切一些。并且,其叶片上的二歧式脉序,比较原始,对研究被子植物起源和演化具有一定的意义。     

MORPHOLOGY AND DICHOTOMOUS VASCULATURE OF THE LEAF OF KINGDONIA UNIFLORA

Foster , Adriance S. (U. California, Berkeley), and Howard J. Arnott . Morphology and dichotomous vasculature of the leaf of Kingdonia uniflora. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47 (8): 684–698. Illus. 1960.—An intensive study of the nodal anatomy, petiolar vasculature and open dichotomous venation of the leaf of Kingdonia has revealed a type of foliar vascular system of unusual morphological and phylogenetic interest. The vascular supply at the nodal level consists of 4 collateral traces which diverge from a single gap into the sheathing leaf base. This type of nodal anatomy is perhaps primitive, and comparisons are made with the unilacunar nodes and the 2- and 4-parted leaf trace systems characteristic of many angiospermous cotyledons and the foliage leaves of certain woody ranalian genera. The petiole of Kingdonia is vascularized by 2 pairs of bundles which represent the upward continuation of the 4 leaf traces. A transition from an even (4) to an odd (3) number of strands occurs near the point of attachment of the 5, lobed, cuneiform lamina segments to the petiole. Each of the 2 abaxial bundles dichotomizes and the central derivative branches fuse to form a double bundle which enters the base of the median lamina segment. The 2 adaxial petiolar bundles diverge right and left into the bases of the paired lateral segments of the lamina. An analogous type of transition from an even to an odd number of veins occurs in many angiospermous cotyledons which develop a definable mid-vein. But, in Kingdonia, the bundles which enter the bases of the lamina segments give rise to systems of dichotomizing veinlets devoid of “mid-veins.” Although the majority of the terminal veinlets enter the marginal teeth of the lamina segments, “blind” endings, unrelated to the dentations, occur in all the leaves studied. Typically, all of the vein endings in a given lobule of a lamina segment are derived from the same dichotomous vein system. However, in some leaves, a veinlet dichotomizes directly below a sinus and the branches diverge into the marginal regions of 2 separate lobules. The phylogenetic significance of the occurrence of open dichotomous venation in such an herbaceous angiosperm as Kingdonia is briefly discussed. From a purely morphological viewpoint, the Kingdonia type of venation invites direct comparison with the venation of Sphenophyllum, certain ferns or Ginkgo rather than with any of the known reticulate venation patterns of modern angiosperms. Although the foliar venation of Kingdonia may represent the result of evolutionary reversion, the very rare anastomoses which occur seem primitive in type rather than “vestiges” of a former system of closed venation.     

ANASTOMOSES IN THE VENATION OF GINKGO BILOBA

Arnott , Howard J. (Northwestern U., Evanston, Ill.) Anastomoses in the venation of Ginkgo biloba. Amer. Jour. Bot. 46(6): 405–411. Illus. 1959.—Although the vasculature of the lamina of Ginkgo biloba has been described as open dichotomous and devoid of anastomoses, vein unions were found in a survey of 1065 leaves collected from both long and short shoots of 11 trees. When studied by directing a strong light through the lamina and by clearings, 9.9% of the leaves possessed 1 or more anastomoses. Long shoot-leaves showed 13.4% anastomoses while short shoot-leaves showed 8.2% anastomoses. Multiple anastomoses were found in almost half of the leaves bearing anastomoses. In the 105 leaves having vein unions, 163 anastomoses were counted. These anastomoses could be grouped into 4 types which are easily distinguished by the number of dichotomies involved and by the presence or absence of dichotomies above the point of vein union. Other deviations were found from the “normal” venation pattern; these consisted of unconnected veins, veins anastomosed marginally but unconnected basally, and veins ending a considerable distance from the margin. It was speculated that the anastomoses found in Ginkgo biloba are of a simple, archaic type and are apparently analogous to the anastomoses in the leaves of certain ferns and in the leaflets of various cycads. The evolutionary significance of these anastomoses must be assessed by a broad study of venation patterns in the seed-plants.     

贵州小檗属植物(小檗科)叶脉序研究

采用制作叶脉标本和透明叶标本的方法,对贵州产28种2变种小檗属植物叶脉特征进行比较研究。结果表明:贵州小檗属植物的脉序类型有5种:半达缘羽状脉、花环状半达缘羽状脉、简单弓形羽状脉、花环状弓形羽状脉和混合型。叶脉分支一般有五级:1一级脉构架均为羽状脉,粗度有很粗、粗、中等粗细和纤细四种类型,分支方式包括单轴分支和合轴分支;2粗二级脉构架中有分支达缘或分支均不达缘,与中脉夹角变化各异,内二级脉存在或缺失,细二级脉半达缘、真曲行或简单弓形,间二级脉类型复杂多变但频度种间有差异;3三级脉贯串型、结网型或分支型;4四、五级脉网状或自由分支且常混合在一起。脉间区从发育差到良好,小脉从不分支到不均等分支等各种类型均有,叶缘末级脉缺失、不完整、钉状和环状。大部分种类叶缘具齿,每1cm齿数目和齿内腺点的特性等特征在不同种类间有区别,具有鉴定价值,但齿其它特征复杂多变或种间区别较小,同时齿内脉性状也不稳定。此外,齿的有无会对脉序类型产生影响。小檗属植物叶脉类型存在种间差异,具有重要的分类学价值,叶脉类型的变化和复杂程度显示了该属植物的进化特点;叶齿的有无和齿特征具有分类学和系统学意义。基于叶脉特征的研究结果并结合重要的外部形态学特征编制了贵州小檗属植物的分种检索表。研究结果可为小檗属植物分类寻找新的依据并探讨其系统学意义。     

ANALYSIS OF PETAL VENATION IN RANUNCULUS. I. ANASTOMOSES IN R. REPENS V. PLENIFLORUS

Arnott , Howard J., and Shirley C. Tucker . (Northwestern U., Evanston, Ill.) Analysis of petal venation in Ranunculus. I. Anastomoses in R. repens v. pleniflorus. Amer. Jour. Bot. 50(8): 821–830. Illus. 1963.—The venation patterns of 1218 petals of Ranunculus repens v. pleniflorus were analyzed, with particular attention to the number and position of vein anastomoses. The essentially open dichotomous vascular pattern is complicated by the presence of vein fusions in 69.4% of the petals. The anastomosis ratio (number of anastomoses/number of appendages) is, therefore, high (1.37), compared to a maximal 0.61 for Ginkgo leaves. Of the petals having such fusions, 55.3% have more than 1 anastomosis; the maximal number of fusions found per petal is 8. The presence of anastomoses shows a high degree of correlation with petal size and petal lobing. The types of fusions (types A, B, C, D) are identical with those found in Ginkgo leaves, with the addition of 2 modifications of type C. Curiously, types C and D account for 98.7% of the total anastomoses, while types A and B are rare. An analysis of the location of each type within the petal shows that type C's are disproportionately numerous along the distal periphery, and that type-D fusions are unusually numerous in the central and basal regions. Such evidence suggests that the occurrence of a vein fusion is no “accident,” but rather that it is one manifestation of morphogenetic control.     

叶脉网络功能性状及其生态学意义
