南五味子属（五味子科）的种子形态及其分类学意义

在光学显微镜和扫描电镜下对南五味子属Kadsura 11种植物36个样品的种子宏观形态及种皮微 形态特征进行了研究。结果表明其种子形状为肾形、椭球形、心形或肾状扁球形。在扫描电镜下种子表 面特征有种间差异,其纹饰可分为3种类型,即近平滑型、负网纹型和网纹型。短梗南五味子K． borneensis和披针叶南五味子K．lanceolata为近平滑型,其种子表面近平滑;黑老虎K．coccinea和柄果 南五味子K．verrucosa 为负网纹型,其种子表面具负网纹,网眼凸起,网脊凹陷;异形南五味子K．hetero- clita、毛南五味子K．induta、南五味子K．japonica、冷饭藤K．oblongifloia、狭叶南五味子K. angustifolia、 南洋南五味子K．scandens 和大叶南五味子K．marmorata为网纹型,其种子表面具网纹,网眼凹陷,网脊 凸起,此类型在南五味子属中最为普遍。种皮微形态特征在种内相当稳定,在一些种的划分上具有较重 要的意义。南五味子属种皮微形态特征的研究结果支持将多子南五味子K．polysperma和凤庆南五味子 K. interior 归并入异形南五味子以及将长梗南五味子K．longipedunculata归并入南五味子的分类学处理。本文还对南五味子属植物种皮微形态的各种类型的演化趋势作了讨论。     

南五味子属（五味子科）植物叶表皮形态特征

在光学显微镜和扫描电镜下,观察了南五味子属（Kadsura Kaempf. ex. Juss.）全属11种,八角属（Illicium Linn.）2种,共108个样品的叶表皮特征。在南五味子属中,叶表皮细胞的形状、叶表皮表面的纹饰、气孔器的形状、气孔极区的形状、表皮毛的有无等性状能用于研究南五味子属种间关系,以及与五味子属（Schisandra Michaux）和八角属之间的关系。在八角目（Illiciales）中发现的一个新分类学性状（叶表皮表面具角质网纹）,支持将南五味子属分为离蕊南五味子亚属（Subg. Cosbaea）和南五味子亚属（Subg. Kadsura）。根据叶表皮形态特征,支持将南五味子亚属分为南五味子组（Sect. Kadsura）和肉蕊组（Sect. Sarcocarpon）,支持R. M. K. Saunders和林祁对某些种的归并处理。根据与五味子属和八角属叶表皮形态特征的比较,认为这3个属的叶表皮形态特征相似,但南五味子属叶表皮形态比五味子属和八角属的叶表皮形态复杂,不支持将五味子科（Schisandraceae）从八角目（Illiciales）中分出而成立五味子目（Schisandrales）的观点。     

五味子科药用植物亲缘学初探

五味子科Schisandraceae隶属于双子叶植物门木兰亚纲Magnoliidae八角目Illiciales, 全球分布约60种, 包括两个属: 五味子属Schisandra和南五味子属Kadsura, 间断分布于亚洲东南部和北美东南部。本文归纳了中国五味子科植物两大类活性成分--木脂素和三萜的分布规律、传统疗效和现代药理活性, 并对中国五味子科的药用植物亲缘学进行了初探。联苯环辛烯类木脂素(I)集中分布于五味子科植物, 可以被认为是五味子科植物的特征性化学成分, 除了传统的保肝作用外, 这类化合物中很多具有潜在的抗氧化、抗肿瘤和抗HIV活性, 一些联苯环辛烯类的木脂素, 尤其是在八元环C-6、C-9位上具有羟基或者酯化取代具有更好的抗HIV和抗肿瘤活性; 而螺苯骈呋喃型联苯环辛烯类木脂素(II)绝大多数存在于南五味子属, 其特殊的螺苯骈呋喃环及其钙拮抗、抗凝血和抑制血小板聚集的活性, 不仅初步说明了民间南五味子属药用植物藤茎具有较强活血化瘀药理作用的活性物质基础, 也提示在对南五味子属的药材质量标准研究中, 可以考虑以此类成分作为定性定量指标。五味子科植物中木脂素成分的分布规律提示, 在演化程度上五味子属植物较南五味子属植物更原始。环菠萝蜜烷类三萜在五味子属和南五味子属均有分布, 尤其是A环开环的环菠萝蜜烷类三萜(II)在抗HIV和抗肿瘤活性方面具有很好的潜力, 而结构更进化的7/7/5/6型三萜内酯(IV)显示了很强的细胞毒活性, 目前只在南五味子属的长梗南五味子K. longipedunculata中发现。从五味子属的小花五味子S. micrantha和狭叶五味子S. lancifolia中分离得到的多个成环复杂且高度氧化的类三萜内酯中也发现具有抗肿瘤和抗HIV潜力。

五味子科植物种子表面微形态及其系统学意义

首次报道用扫描电镜观察的五味子科24种7变种1变型的92个居群117份种子样品的表面微形态特征。将该科种子表面微形态归纳为4大类型,其中第Ⅰ型又分为3个亚型。将种子表面微形态与该科的花粉微形态,以及花、果、茎和叶的宏观形态结合起来进行对比分析,结果表明,五味子科种子表面微形态特征几乎不受其植株生长地环境条件的影响,相当稳定,因而作为分类的鉴别特征完全可靠。已观察到的种子表面微形态特征不支持林祁和Saunders对五味子科所做的大部分分类学修订结果。种子表面微形态特征所揭示的Schisandra属与Kadsura属之间的关系,与花粉形态所揭示的两属关系极其相似,即两属可能起源于共同的祖先,分别沿两条不同路线演化,但亦不能排除两属间有更复杂的关系的可能性。Kadsura属的总体演化水平高于Schisandra属,因而不支持认为Kadsura属比Schisandra属原始的观点。

Intra‐individual variation of flowers in Gunnera subgenus Panke (Gunneraceae) and proposed apomorphies for Gunnerales

A study of inflorescence and flower development in 12 species from four of the six subgenera of Gunnera (Gunneraceae) was carried out. In the species of subgenus Panke, initiation of floral apices along the partial inflorescences is acropetal but ends up in the late formation of a terminal flower, forming a cyme at maturity. The terminal flower is the largest and the most complete in terms of merosity and number of whorls and thus it is the most diagnostic in terms of species‐level taxonomy. The lateral flowers undergo a basipetal gradient of organ reduction along the inflorescence, ranging from bisexual flowers (towards the distal region) to functionally (i.e. with staminodia) and structurally female flowers (towards the proximal region). Our results show that the terminal structure in Gunnera is a flower rather than a pseudanthium. The terminal flower is disymmetric, dimerous and bisexual, representing the common bauplan for Gunnera flowers. It has a differentiated perianth with two sepals and two alternate petals, the latter opposite the stamens and carpels. Comparisons with other members of the core eudicots with labile floral construction are addressed. We propose vegetative and floral putative synapomorphies for the sister‐group relationship between Gunneraceae and Myrothamnaceae. © 2009 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2009, 160 , 262–283.     

花对称性的研究进展

花对称性(floral symmetry)是被子植物花部结构的典型特性之一,主要有辐射对称和两侧对称两种形式。被子植物初始起源的花为辐射对称,而两侧对称的花则是由辐射对称的花演变而来。两侧对称的花部结构是被子植物进化过程中的一个关键的革新,被认为是物种形成和分化的关键推动力之一。近年来有关花对称性的形成和进化机制的研究在植物学科的不同领域均取得了长足的进展。本文综述了花对称性在发育生物学、传粉生物学、生殖生态学及分子生物学等方面的研究进展。两侧对称形成于被子植物花器官发育的起始阶段,随后贯穿整个花器官发育过程或者出现在花器官发育后期的不同阶段。花器官发育过程中一种或多种类型器官的败育以及特异性花器官结构的形成是两侧对称形成的主要原因。研究表明,在传粉过程的不同阶段,花对称性均会受到传粉昆虫介导的选择作用。相比辐射对称的花,两侧对称的花提高了特异性传粉者的选择作用,增加了花粉落置的精确性,进而确保了其生殖成功。花对称性的分子机理已经在多种双子叶植物中进行了深入的研究。现有的证据表明,CYC同源基因在花对称性的分子调控方面起着非常重要的作用。花对称性在被子植物进化过程中是如何起源,与其他花部构成之间是否协同作用,一些不符合一般模式的科属其花对称性的形成机制等都是今后要进一步研究的命题。     

Pollination of Kadsura longipedunculata (Schisandraceae), a monoecious basal angiosperm, by female, pollen-eating Megommata sp. (Cecidomyiidae: Diptera) in China

The plants of Kadsura longipedunculata (Schisandraceae) are monoecious and possess either red or yellow male flowers (the androecium), with yellow tepals, and yellow female flowers. All flower types simultaneously produce heat and floral odours (dominated by methyl butyrate) throughout a 4–5-h nocturnal period. The flowers are pollinated only by female, pollen-eating Megommata sp. (Cecidomyiidae). Pollen is the only reward, and female flowers use the same attractants as male flowers but offer no food (pollination by deceit). Open pollinated flowers in nature varied in fruit set from 8 to 92%. Megommata (subfamily Cecidomyiinae, supertribe Cecidomyiidi), consists of six described species, which feed on Coccoidea (scale insects) and are distributed worldwide.  © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society , 2008, 93 , 523–536.

HELICAL FLORAL ORGANOGENESIS IN GLEDITSIA,A PRIMITIVE CAESALPINIOID LEGUME

In order to determine the extent of floral ontogenetic differences among species of a genus, six species of Gleditsia were studied. Gledilsia is one of only two leguminous genera known in which there is completely helical succession of floral organs. Floral ontogeny was compared in three species (Gleditsia amorphoides, G. aquatica, and G. triacanthos), and late stages in six species (including the first three plus G. caspica, G. delavayi, and G. japonica). Other unusual primitive developmental features include the unequal-sized flower primordia which produce flowers of variable merosity. Order of floral development is also loosely controlled, so that flowers of different growth stages are intermixed in the inflorescence. Variable features include the occurrence of floral bracts, merosity of flowers, number of organs, and position of the first organ (sepal) initiated. The inflorescence type, while usually a raceme, often has lateral branches near the base, or fascicles of flowers at some points. A terminal flower often is present, although not in all species. Sex of flowers and inflorescences also varies, although floral initiation tends to include both stamens and carpel primordia. Suppression of one or the other may occur at different stages of development. Carpel orientation also varies; the cleft may be tilted or inverted occasionally. It is proposed that absence of subtending floral bracts influences development so as to favor radial symmetry and establishment of other “chaotic” characters seen in Gledilsia flowers.     

Variation in floral sex allocation, female success, and seed predation within racemiform synflorescence in the gynomonoecious Ligularia virgaurea (Asteraceae)

Studies of diclinous species have showed that floral sex allocation and female reproductive success were quite variable within inflorescences. However, little attention has been paid to gynomonoecious species, in which individuals produce both female and bisexual flowers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the variations in reproductive patterns at different capitulum positions within racemiform synflorescence in Ligularia virgaurea, and to determine selective mechanisms of variations in reproductive patterns. We conducted observational and experimental studies in natural populations of the gynomonoecious composite L. virgaurea. Floral sex allocation, seed production and pre-dispersal seed predation were quantified in the field. The results showed several patterns of variation from top to bottom capitula, including an increase in bisexual flowers and flower number per capitulum, but a decrease in seed set and size. Removing earlier capitula during bud stage did not change floral sex allocation in later capitula. And no effect was found on seed set under supplemental pollination. Thus, although it has been reported many times in previous studies, the variation of floral sex allocation in L. virgaurea may not result from architectural effect or mating environment, and the variation of seed production could not be fully explained by pollination success. Additionally, our results showed that L. virgaurea was susceptible to high levels of bisexual biased predation, which was greater for top capitula. We therefore suggest that these variations may help to enhance reproductive success of L. virgaurea in the face of bisexual-biased seed predation.     

Anatomy and ontogeny of unisexual flowers in dioecious Woonyoungia septentrionalis （Dandy） Law （Magnoliaceae）

Woonyoungia septentrionalis （Dandy） Law is aceae. The floral morphology and structure of the species a dioecious species with unisexual flowers in Magnoliare conspicuously different from other species and are important to the study of floral phylogeny in this family. The floral anatomy and ontogeny were investigated to evaluate the systematic position of W. septentrionalis, using scanning electron microscopy and light microscopy. All of the floral organs are initiated acropetally and spirally. The carpels are of conduplicated type without the differentiation of stigma and style. The degenerated stamens in the female flowers have the same structures as the normal stamens at the earlier developmental stages, but they do not undergo successive development and eventually degenerate. The male floral apex was observed to have the remnants of carpels in a few investigated samples. As the bisexual flower features could be traced both in the male and female flowers in W. septentrionalis, it suggests that the flower sex in Magnoliaceae tends toward unisexual. As well as the unisexual flowers, the reduced tepals and carpels and concrescence of carpels conform to the specialized tendency in Magnoliaceae, which confirms the derived position of W. septentrionalis in this family. As the initiation pattern of floral parts of W. septentrionalis is very similar to other species in this family, it needs further investigation and especially comparison with species in Kmeria to evaluate the separation of Woonyoungia.

Effects of floral sexual investment and dichogamy on floral longevity

Aims Floral longevity, the duration that a flower remains open and functional, varies greatly among species. Variation in floral longevity has been considered to be optimal strategy for resource allocation under different ecological conditions, mainly determined by the rates of pollination and cost of flower maintenance. However, it is unclear whether an intrinsic factor, floral sexual investment, constrains evolution of floral longevity. The theoretical model also predicts that dichogamy favors long-lived flowers, but empirical studies to test this prediction remain unexplored.Methods To examine the effect of floral sexual investment on floral longevity, we measured flower size together with pollen and ovule production in 37 sympatric flowering plants in a natural community. The duration of the female and male phase in 21 protandrous species and floral longevity of the other 16 adichogamous species were documented in the field.Important findings Floral longevity varied from 1 day to 15 days, while pollen number per flower varied from 643 to 710880 and ovule number per flower from 1 to 426 in the 37 species. Flower size was correlated with pollen production as well as ovule production. Floral longevity was positively related to pollen production but not to ovule production. Consistent with the prediction that dichogamy favors long-lived flowers, we found the floral longevity of protandrous species was significantly longer than that of adichogamous species. In the protandrous species, pollen production per flower was observed to be positively related to male duration, while ovule production was not related to female duration. Our analyses of variation in floral longevity and sexual investment among different species suggest that the floral sexual investment could be an intrinsic factor contributing to the selected floral longevity, particularly the male phase, and that high pollen production could potentially increase pollen removal, i.e. male productive success.     

Flowering phenology of Campanula on Mt Olynipos, Greece

We studied the fowering phenology of the genus Campanula (represented by nine species) along the elevation gradient of Mt Olympos (Greece) in order to assess whether there are elevation patterns at the genus level and whether these relate to patterns previously observed along such gradients at the community level. The traits examined were time and duration of the flowering period, flower life span, and duration of male and female flower phases. Floral attributes, such as number of flowers per plant, flower biomass, flower size, were also studied in order to examine whether they change with elevation or influence flower phenology. Flowering of Campanula species started in mid-May and ended in late September. The average duration of flowering of the genus was ca 27 d and the average floral longevity 4 d. In all but one species, the female phase lasted longer than the male. Campanula versicolor differed remarkably from all others in flower phenology and other floral trails. Nearly all Campanula populations studied had right or positively skewed flowering distributions indicating that flowering begins more abruptly than it ends. At the genus level, the time of flowering increased with elevation by 2 3d for every 100 m. Floral longevity also increased with elevation, by 0,2 d for every 100 m. Neither duration of flowering nor duration of the flower phases showed any consistent change with elevation. The same is true of the non–phenological floral traits examined. No trade–off between duration of flowering and flower life span or between structure and maintenance of flowers was apparent. The pattern of increasing floral longevity along the elevation gradient suggests a mechanism of compensation for reduecd pollinator availability.
