野雉尾金粉蕨配子体发育及其系统学意义

野雉尾金粉蕨为中国蕨科金粉蕨属植物,而金粉蕨属的系统位置一直存在争议。该研究用原生境腐殖土和改良克诺普氏(Knop’s)营养液对野雉尾金粉蕨的孢子进行培养,培养条件为温度25℃、光照强度2 500 lx、光照12 h/d,在光学显微镜下观察记录其孢子萌发和配子体发育过程。结果表明:野雉尾金粉蕨的孢子为黄褐色,四面体型,三裂缝,赤道面观为扇形,具周壁,外壁表面具网状纹饰。孢子培养7 d后开始萌发,孢子萌发类型为书带蕨型(Vittaria-type)。孢子萌发后,配子体原始细胞经多次横向分裂形成3~9个细胞的丝状体,丝状体细胞呈圆筒形,壁薄,侧壁向外鼓起,含有颗粒较大且数量较多的叶绿体。15 d左右发育为片状体,片状体多为匙状。25 d左右形成幼原叶体,幼原叶体不对称,配子体发育类型为水蕨型(Ceratopteris-type)。在原叶体发育过程中分枝丝状体非常发达,配子体呈丛状生长,整个发育过程没有毛状体产生。野雉尾金粉蕨的假根为单细胞管状,偶有分支,内无叶绿体。45 d左右精子器开始出现,精子器顶面观近圆形,侧面观为近椭圆形或短柱状。精子器成熟时,盖细胞裂开,精子逸出。60 d左右颈卵器出现,颈卵器比较大,基部略大于顶部,侧面观呈烟囱状,顶面观为铜钱状,颈部由四列细胞构成。90 d左右发育出肉眼可见的幼孢子体。从研究结果看,其配子体发育的特征与凤尾蕨科(Pteridaceae)凤尾蕨属(Pteris L.)相似,支持金粉蕨属归于凤尾蕨科的观点。该研究结果为野雉尾金粉蕨系统学研究提供了配子体发育方面的证据。

云南产凤尾蕨属植物(凤尾蕨科)的新修订

在《中国植物志》和《云南植物志》的基础上,对云南产凤尾蕨属植物进行新的分类修订。文中澄清了8个混淆类群,其中新等级1种,即高原凤尾蕨Pteriscuspigera(Chingex Ching et S.H.Wu)X.Q.Song;云南分布新记录1种,即假指状凤尾蕨Pteris psudodactylina Ching et S.K.Wu;新异名3个,即Pteris asperi-caulis var.cuspigera Chingex Ching et S.H.Wu,Pteris inaequalis Bak.及Pteris wallichiana var.yunnanensis(Christ)Ching et S.H.Wu。还列出了新修订种类的文献引证、标本引证、生境和地理分布。经该文研究确认,现知云南有该属植物48种。     

金爪粉背蕨和硫磺粉背蕨的名实问题

对金爪粉背蕨Aleuritioteris veitchii（Christ）Ching、硫磺粉背蕨A.duclouxii var.sulphurea Ching和A.cremea处理为它的异名。该种的特征是根状茎上的鳞片为同色,狭披针形,叶片分裂较细且被硫磺色粉状物。硫磺粉背蕨A.duclouxii var.suplhurea根状茎上的鳞片明显二争,与上者不同,本文重新恢复了该变种名称。     

湖南蕨类植物新记录

报道了湖南省蕨类植物新记录14种(含1变种),属于10科11属,它们是皱边石杉(Huperzia crispata),倒叶瘤足蕨(Plagiogyria dunnii),华南鳞盖蕨(Microlepia hancie),三轴凤尾蕨(Pteris longipe),蚀盖金粉蕨(Onychium tenuifrons),长羽凤丫蕨(Coniogramme longissima),圆基凤丫蕨(C. emeiensis var. lancipinna),云贵紫柄蕨(Pseudophegopteris yunkweiensis),齿果铁角蕨(Asplenium cheilosorum),狭翅铁角蕨(A. wrightii),腺齿铁角蕨(A. glanduli-serrulatum),翅轴蹄盖蕨(Athyrium delavayi),骨牌蕨(Lepidogrammitis rostrata),显脉星蕨(Microsorium zippelii)。     

黑轴凤丫蕨复合群的分类修订

凤丫蕨属(Coniogramme Fée)种间界限模糊,存在过渡类型,是蕨类植物中分类比较困难的类群之一。黑轴凤丫蕨(C.robusta(H.Christ) H.Christ)是凤丫蕨属植物中比较特殊的种类之一。本文在标本考证、野外考察和微形态研究的基础上对该种的分类进行了订正。将假黑轴凤丫蕨(C.pseudorobusta Ching et Shing)和新黑轴凤丫蕨(C.neorobusta Ching et Shing)归并到黑轴凤丫蕨。同时对该种下的两个变种黄轴凤丫蕨(C.robusta var. splendens Ching et Shing)和棕轴凤丫蕨(C.robusta var. rependula Ching et Shing)重新定义模式标本。

Phylogeography of the fungal pathogen Histoplasma capsulatum

Until recently, Histoplasma capsulatum was believed to harbour three varieties, var. capsulatum (chiefly a New World human pathogen), var. duboisii (an African human pathogen) and var. farciminosum (an Old World horse pathogen), which varied in clinical manifestations and geographical distribution. We analysed the phylogenetic relationships of 137 individuals representing the three varieties from six continents using DNA sequence variation in four independent protein‐coding genes. At least eight clades were idengified: (i) North American class 1 clade; (ii) North American class 2 clade; (iii) Latin American group A clade; (iv) Latin American group B clade; (v) Australian clade; (vi) Netherlands (Indonesian?) clade; (vii) Eurasian clade and (viii) African clade. Seven of eight clades represented genetically isolated groups that may be recognized as phylogenetic species. The sole exception was the Eurasian clade which originated from within the Latin American group A clade. The phylogenetic relationships among the clades made a star phylogeny. Histoplasma capsulatum var. capsulatum individuals were found in all eight clades. The African clade included all of the H. capsulatum var. duboisii individuals as well as individuals of the other two varieties. The 13 individuals of var. farciminosum were distributed among three phylogenetic species. These findings suggest that the three varieties of Histoplasma are phylogenetically meaningless. Instead we have to recognize the existence of genetically distinct geographical populations or phylogenetic species. Combining DNA substitution rates of protein‐coding genes with the phylogeny suggests that the radiation of Histoplasma started between 3 and 13 million years ago in Latin America.     

利用RAPD技术分析云南兰属部分种的种间关系

采用RAPD技术对云南兰属的11个种和3个变种中的39个样本进行了相似性分析。在相似系数0．58水平上,大花亚属的虎头兰、西藏虎头兰、长叶兰和碧玉兰聚为一支;建兰亚属的寒兰、墨兰、蜜蜂兰、蕙兰、春兰、豆瓣兰、春剑、莲瓣兰和送春聚为另一支,兔耳兰与大花亚属关系更近。春剑和莲瓣兰相似性更高,它们与春兰的关系较远,不支持送春作为蕙兰下的变种。这些结果可为开展兰属育种提供重要参考价值。
