国产铁青树科植物的订正与补充报导以及有关该科的分类和区系等若干问题的初步探讨

本文除对中国铁青树科植物作一订正与补充报导外,还对该科起源、分类、区系等若干问题作一初步的探讨。作者根据该科具多类型的特征,如形态、解剖等既有原始性状,又有略进化的特点,特别是少数种木质部导管有梯状穿孔以及古植物孢粉和化石分别出现于晚白垩纪或早第三纪等资料,认为该科可能起源于白垩纪,起源中心可能接近于古地中海西部的南美洲东北部热带古陆地区,而亚洲南部热带古陆地区是分化中心之一,同时怍者在研究该目各科及邻近目、科的分类、解剖及孢粉形态后提出:另立铁青树目的主张是合理的,该目可能起源于从木兰目中已灭绝的原始类群向蔷薇目进化过程中派生的一个分枝上衍生出的一个目,在这分枝的早期还先后分化出山龙眼目、卫矛目、鼠李目等,这几个目均具多类型、即既具有原始性状、又具有稍进化的过渡性的特征,另外在这分枝的中、后期,还衍生出进化类型的檀香目及蛇菰目,此外作者研究了赤苍藤属分类及花粉特征后,认为该属仍是铁青树科的范畴,不应另立为赤苍藤科,但该属又与铁青树科已知的三亚科性状有明显区别,因此建议在该科下另立一新亚科——赤苍藤亚科。     

裸蒴属的核型及三白草科四属间系统关系的探讨

本文首次报道三白草科裸蒴属中华裸蒴(Gymnotheca chinensis Decne)和白苞裸蒴(G. involucrata Pei)的染色体数目。两个种的体细胞染色体数均为2n=18,染色体基数为x=9。三白草科原始祖先的染色体基数假定为x=11,裸蒴属可能是经非整倍减少演变而来。裸蒴属间期核型属球状或棒状前染色体型。本文根据三白草科染色体研究的结果和现代地理分布格局,结合其他分枝学科的研究资料,对科下四属间的系统发育关系提出了初步假设。     

三白草核型分析

本文对三白草的核型进行分析。结果表明,三白草染色体基数为X=11,二倍体2n=22;而三白草科的原始染色体基数为X=11,三白草属与祖先型的是一致的,是科中最原始的一个分类群。核型公式为:2n=2x=22=2m+8sm+1st,核型为3B。     

金粟兰科的起源、演化及其分布

本文利用形态解剖、孢粉学及化石资料,讨论了金粟兰科的系统;并对其起源、演化和现代分布格局形成等问题做了合理推测,主要结果如下：（l）Sarcandra和chloranthus的亲缘关系最接近,而Ascarina和Hedyosmum的系统位置最靠近．Sarcandra是金粟兰科中最原始的属,而Hedyosmum则是最进化的属。（2）金粟兰科可能于白垩纪最早期起源于木质部无导管的、具简单两性虫媒花的祖先,从这个祖先分化出虫媒两性花的Sarcandra和Chloranthus和风媒单性花Ascarina和Hedyosmum。(3)印度支那植物区和马来西亚植物区包含了金粟兰科的全部属和大部分原始种类,是金粟兰科的现代分布中心;也可能是其起源地。（4）金粟兰科起源较早容易扩散到各个大陆,随大陆解体而被带到各大洲。并随古气候、古地理的演变而发展或衰退、消亡而形成今天的分布格局。     

金粟兰科的起源,演化及其分布

本文利用形态解剖,孢粉学及化石资料,讨论了金粟兰科的系统;并对其起源,演化和现代分布格局形成等问题做了合理推测,主要结果如下：（１）Ｓａｒｃａｎｄｒａ和Ｃｈｌｏｒａｎｔｈｕｓ的亲缘关系最接近,而Ａｓｃａｒｉｎａ和Ｈｅｄｙｏｓｍｕｍ的系统位置最靠近。Ｓａｒｃａｎｄｒａ是金粟兰科中最原始的属,而Ｈｅｄｙｏｓｍｕｍ则是最进化的属。（２）金粟兰科可能于白垩纪最早期起源于木质部无导管的,具简单两性虫媒花的祖     

湖北省泽泻科、水鳖科、眼子菜科及茨藻科植物花粉形态研究

本文利用光镜及扫描电镜对湖北省泽泻科、水鳖科、眼子菜科及茨藻科11属29种1变种1变型植物(另加采于湛江的软骨草)的花粉形态进行了研究,发现泽泻科植物花粉具多个圆形萌发孔,外壁表面为小刺状纹饰;茨藻科植物花粉具远极单槽,表面为绉波状纹饰;眼子菜科及本文研究的水鳖科植物花粉均无萌发孔,分别具网状和小刺状饰纹饰。1.茨藻科植物花粉最原始,泽泻科花粉较进化,眼子菜科花粉较水鳖科花粉进化;2.泽泻属与泽苔草属花粉较慈姑属花粉原始;3.鞘叶眼子菜亚屈花粉较眼子菜亚属的花粉处于更高演化阶段;4.多孔茨藻花粉在该科中最原始。本文工作尚对易变形水生植物花粉形态研究方法进行了尝试。     

华南古新世哺乳类一新科

本文记述了一个新科(丽(犭亚)科)的两个新属和四个新种。文中除对四新种进行了较详细的描述与对比外,还初步讨论了丽(犭亚)科、(犭亚)科与假古猬科同Kennalestes和zalambdalestids之间的亲缘关系。从目前材料来看,在形态上,丽(犭亚)比Gypsonictops更接近于Kennalestes。丽(犭亚)科有可能是后者的古新世后裔,(犭亚)科和假古猬科的起源或许与达种白垩纪真兽类也有密切关系。     

藜科植物的起源、分化和地理分布

全球藜科植物共约130属1500余种,广泛分布于欧亚大陆、南北美洲、非洲和大洋洲的半干旱及盐碱地区。它基本上是一个温带科,对亚热带和寒温带也有一定的适应性。本文分析了该科包含的1l族的系统位置和分布式样,以及各个属的分布区,提出中亚区是现存藜科植物的分布中心,原始的藜科植物在古地中海的东岸即华夏陆台(或中国的西南部)发生,然后向干旱的古地中海沿岸迁移、分化,产生了环胚亚科主要族的原始类群;起源的时间可能在白垩纪初,冈瓦纳古陆和劳亚古陆进一步解体的时期。文章对其迁移途径及现代分布式样形成的原因进行了讨论。     

裸蒴属营养器官的解剖及其分类位置的研究

本文通过对三白草科 saururaceae 裸蒴属 Gymnotheca Decne． 营养器官的解剖和观察,发现该属和三白草属Saururus L.、蕺草属 Houttuynia Thunb. 有明显的区别,而同胡椒科Piperaceae 的齐头绒属 Zippelia Bi．则有许多相似的特征。因此我们认为该属和齐头绒属同为三白草科和胡椒科的中间过渡类型。

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

正Dear Editor,In December 2019, a novel human coronavirus caused an epidemic of severe pneumonia(Coronavirus Disease 2019,COVID-19) in Wuhan, Hubei, China(Wu et al. 2020; Zhu et al. 2020). So far, this virus has spread to all areas of China and even to other countries. The epidemic has caused 67,102 confirmed infections with 1526 fatal cases     

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.
