中国温带粒毛盘菌属新记录种

Lachnum is a large genus in the Helotiales, Hyaloscyphaceae. In the past decades, a large number of Lachnum species were reported from diverse regions of the world (Dennis, 1949; Haines & Dumont, 1984; Haines, 1992; Korf & Zhuang, 1985; Sharma, 1986; Spooner, 1987; Galn & Raitviir, 1994; Hawksworth et al., 1995). In China, the earliest records of Lachnum dated back to 1934 when two species were reported by Teng (1934), i.e. L. virgineum (Batsch : Fr.) P. Karst. from Zhejiang and Erine…

Characterization and Genome Changes of New Amphiploids from Wheat Wide Hybridization

<正>The introduction of alien genes or chromosome fragments from wild related species into wheat(Triticum spp.)has been considered valuable for wheat breeding(Valkoun,2001).Several relatives,such as Secale cereale(Gupta and Shepherd,1993;Ma et al.,2000),Thinopyrum elongatum(Liu et al.,2008),Th.intermedium(Cao et al.,2014)and Th.ponticum(Li et al.,2008)showed distinct applications of introgression of interesting genes or traits into wheat.However,there are still some challenges in using these genetic resources.The

Elymus sibiricus populations drive the community of root-associated arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in a monoculture agroecosystem

正Dear Editor,Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) belonging to phylum Glomeromycota,form symbiotic associations with roots of over 80%of land plant species in terrestrial ecosystems (van der Heijden et al.,2015).A growing body of evidence shows that symbiotic AMF are important for plant growth and health (van der Heijden et al.,2015).A plant root is commonly associated with a complex AMF community in terrestrial ecosystems (Pivato et al.,2007;Davison et al.,2015;

The myth of “minima” and “maxima”, the species of Physalis in the Indian Subcontinent

The status of the names, Physalis minima L. and P. maxima Mill. (Solanaceae), and their alleged presence on the Indian subcontinent are discussed. The issues of nativity and identity of Linnaean Physalis minima are long-debated while the use of the name P. maxima Mill. and its report from India are recent. The available evidence indicates that the name "P. minima L." is misapplied to two different elements, viz., P. angulata L. and P. lagascae Roem. & Schult. The name Physalis minima L. may be rejected as nomen confusum, for which the paper provides the primary information. As on today, it is submerged under the synonymy of P. angulata L. The correct name for the widely known P. minima is P. lagascae. The name "P. maxima Mill." applied to the escape and naturalized weed in the Indian subcontinent and elsewhere is to be substituted by P. pruinosa L., a name misapplied to P. grisea (Waterf.) M. Martínez.     

Vittia salina L.Hedenäs & J.Muñoz,sp. nov., a new moss from Argentina

Abstract

A survey of the species of Campylopus Brid. reported from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) is presented. Of the 34 species that have been reported from this Island 16 are accepted at present. Campylopus nilghiriensis (Mitt.) Jaeg. is identical partly with C. goughii (Mitt.) Jaeg., partly with C. zollingerianus (C. Müll.) Bosch &; Lac., C. pseudogracilis Card. &; Dix. with C. goughii (Mitt.) Jaeg., C. caudatus (C. Müll.) Mont., C. reduncus (Reinw. &; Hornsch.) Bosch &; Lac. and C. trachythecius (C. Müll.) Jaeg. with C. comosus (Reinw. &; Hornsch.) Bosch &; Lac., C. herzogii Broth., C. subtricolor Lor. and probably also C. nodijlorus (C. Müll.) Jaeg. with C. aureus Bosch &; Lac., C nietneri (C. Müll.) Jaeg. with C. involutusz (C. Müll.) Jaeg., C. subgracilis Ren. &; Card. ex Gangulee and C. latinervis (Mitt.) Jaeg. with C. gracilis (Mitt.) Jaeg., and C. laetus (Mitt.) Jaeg. with C. savannarum (C. Müll.) Mitt. C. pterotoneuron (C. Müll.) Jaeg. is reduced to a variety of C. umbellatus (Arn.) Par. The occurrence of C. exasperatus Brid. on Sri Lanka could not be confirmed. Campylopus flagelliferus (C. Müll.) Jaeg. is reported as new to Sri Lanka.

水玉霉(Pilobolus)属的种的重新划分

我们在过去的工作中承认水玉霉(Pilobolus)属的9个种(郑、胡,见戴,1979)。近年来我们重新分离得到了这些分类群并对它们进行了再研究。研究结果表明,尽管它们是彼此可以互相区分的分类群,但是,包括我们过去的概念在内,目前被普遍接受的用于这个属的分类的种概念太小.为了与整个毛霉目的其它属的分类系统相一致,我们把这9个分类群重新划分为由9个变种组成的5个种:晶澈水玉霉原变种[Pilobolus crystallinu (Wigg.) Tode var. crystallinus],晶澈水玉霉透孢变种新组合[P. crystallinus var.hyalosporus (Boedijn) Hu &Zheng, comb. nov.],晶澈水玉霉克莱因变种新组合[P. crystallinus var.kleinii (van Tieghem) Zheng &G.-q. Chen, comb. nov.],豆状水玉霉原变种(P. lentiger Corda var. lentiger),豆状水玉霉小型变种新组合[P. lentiger var. minutus (Speg.) Zheng &G.-q. Chen, comb. nov.],长型水玉霉(P. longipes van Tieghem),厚壁水玉霉(P. Oedipus Mont.),露水玉霉原变种[P. roridus (Bolt.) Pers. var. roridus],露水玉霉突囊变种新组合[P. roridus var. umbonatus (Butler) Hu &Zheng, comb. nov.]。水玉霉属先后报道过的种或种下分类群名称共计50个左右,其中一些异名往往被不同的作者归到不同的正名下面。为了解决它们的正确归属问题,我们对全部原始描述作了细致的文献考证然后决定其位置。对那些找不到原始描述或从原始描述中得不出结论的则作为可疑名称处理。可疑名称共计12个:Mucor obliquus Scop., M. urceolatus Dicks.;Pilobolus urceolatus Purt., P. pestis-bovinae Hallier(=P. hallierii Rivolta), P. nanus van Tieghem, P. intermedius, (Coem.) P. A. Karsten(=P. Oedipus Mont. var,intermedius Coem.), P. pullus Massee, P.proliferens McVickar, P. ramosus McVickar, P. simplex McVickar, P. lentiger forma leinii Reyn. &Laysa, P. lentiger forma minutus Reyn. &Laysa.

铁线莲属研究随记（Ⅳ）

(1)Eichler(1958)在研究马来西亚铁线莲属植物时也深入地研究了中国、越南、泰国、缅甸及喜马拉雅山区的该属标本,认为根据我国台湾标本描述的Clematis taiwaniana Hayata可能为C．javana DC．的异名。本文作者在研究了有关的南洋群岛、中国台湾及日本琉球群岛的标本之后同意Eichler的归并意见;此外,C．grata Wall．var．ryukiuensis Tamura,C．sikkimensis(Hook．F.&; Thoms．) Drumm．ex Burkill,C．connata DC．var．bipinnata M．Y．Fang,C.kilungensis W．T. Wang &; M．Y. Fang等拉丁学名也被归并为异名。(2)对大叶铁线莲组sect．Tubulosae做出了新的分类系统。特产日本的Clematis takedana Makino 自发表后一直被认为是C．apiifolia DC．和 C.stans Sieb．&; Zucc．(大叶铁线莲C．heracleifolia DC．的近缘种之一)的杂交种。此种为木质藤本植物,具三出复叶,腋生花序有多数两性花,呈圆锥状,而相似于C.apiifolia DC．(萼片水平开展,雄蕊无毛,花药狭长圆形,药隔顶端不突出),但其萼片向斜上方开展(花萼宽钟状),花丝上部有疏柔毛,花药条形,药隔顶端有短突起而不同。笔者发现,特产我国河北西部和北京山地的羽叶铁线莲C．pinnata Maxim．(叶为具5小叶的羽状复叶)具有与C．takedana Makino相同的花构造,二者在亲缘关系上极为相近,组成一个自然小群。这二种与特产北京的细花铁线莲C．tatarinowii Maxim．(花两性,萼片直立,花丝上部有疏柔毛,花药狭长圆形,背面有疏柔毛,药隔顶端不突出)组成大叶铁线莲组sect．Tubulosae的原始群——羽叶铁线莲亚组subsect．Pinnatae。而原来的大叶铁线莲C．heracleifolia DC．等种组成此组的进化群——大叶铁线莲亚组subsect．Tubulosae,其特征为花通常单性,萼片直立,雄蕊常有疏柔毛,茎直立,草质至木质。此外,还对C． siamensis Drumm．ex Burkill的4变种和C．connata DC．的5变种进行了分类。(3)描述了3新系、3新种和4新变种。(4)做出了6新组合和3新等级。

Carbon isotopes as indicators of elephant diets and African environments

Stable carbon isotope ratios have been successfully used to assess modern animal diets and to reconstruct prehistoric diets of animals and humans (Vogel & van der Merwe, 1977; van der Merwe & Vogel, 1978; Burleigh & Brothwell, 1978; Vogel, 1978a; DeNiro & Epstein, 1978; Tieszen et al., 1979; Tieszen & Imbamba, 1980; Chisholm, Nelson & Schwarcz, 1982; Tauber, 1981). We have used ¹³C/¹²C ratio measurements of bone collagen to study the diets of African elephants in twelve wildlife refuges. These represent most of the habitats in which elephants live, including such diverse plant communities as primary rain forest, savanna woodland and desert. The δ¹³C values were found to have a simple linear relationship with tree density in most cases. When translated into relative amounts of dietary browse (C₃ plants) and graze (C₄ plants), the grass content is seen to be systematically under-represented, presumably due to inefficient metabolism. This does not affect the relationship between elephant diet and tree density, which has implications for the study of elephant-woodland interactions, and for reconstructions of past African environments.
