Wentsaiboea D. Fang & D. H. Qin,a new genus of the Gesneriaceae from Guangxi,China

Wentsaiboea renifolia D. Fang & D. H. Qin, a new genus and species of Gesneriaceae from Guangxi, China, is described and illustrated. This genus is similar to Dolicholoma D. Fang & W. T. Wang in the shape of stigma, but differs by having leaves reniform, palmately nerved and base cordate, corolla obliquely campanulate, corolla lobes rounded, and both stamens and staminodes adnate to corolla tube near base. It is also similar to Chiritopsis W. T. Wang in the habit, but differs by having leaves palmately nerved, corolla tube campanulate and abaxially swollen, and stigma hippocrepiform.     

广西苦苣苔科一新属——文采苣苔属

描述了在广西发现的苦苣苔科一新属和一新种,即文采苣苔属Wentsaiboea D. Fang & D. H. Qin及文采苣苔W. renifolia D. Fang & D. H. Qin, 并提供墨线图。文采苣苔属的柱头外形略似长檐苣苔属Dolicholoma D. Fang & W. T. Wang, 不同在于前者叶肾形,基部心形,具掌状脉,花冠斜钟状,裂片圆形,雄蕊和退化雄蕊着生于冠筒近基部。新属在体态上还接近小花苣苔属Chiritopsis W. T. Wang, 但前者叶具掌状脉,冠筒钟状,远轴侧膨胀,柱头马蹄形;在后者叶具羽状脉,冠筒筒状,不膨胀,柱头下唇倒梯形至线形。     

关于顶生金花茶分类地位的探讨

根据近年来对顶生金花茶和平果金花茶在其原产地的进一步调查和野外观察并参考过去的研究成果,发现:顶生金花茶与平果金花茶在分布、形态特征、物候期、生态习性及细胞学特性,尤其是繁殖器官和生活史等方面都有明显差异。因此,认为将其降为平果金花茶的变种颇为不妥,主张恢复顶生金花茶作为一个独立种的地位,其名称为顶生金花茶。     

峨眉四照花的种子萌发特性

峨眉四照花〔Dendrobentham ia capitatavar.em eiensis(Fang etHsieh)Fang etW.K.Hu〕为落叶灌木或小乔木,原产于四川峨眉山。由于峨眉四照花的天然出苗率低且死亡率高,导致其资源日趋减少。目前,仅有一些关于四照花属植物栽培及繁育的研究报道[1,2],尚未见峨眉四照花的相关研究报道。为此,作者对不同条件下峨眉四照花种子的萌发特性进行了研究,旨在为峨眉四照花的人工繁育提供一定的实验依据。1材料和方法1.1材料2005年10月于四川峨眉山海拔1 500 m处采集峨眉四照花种子,经低温沙藏后,于翌年3月进行发芽实验。1.2方法用质量分数0.3%的…     

云南樫木属植物修订

(木坚)木属Dysoxylum Bl.在云南有十种,并仍有新的发现。本文在重新考证了有关标本和资料的基础上,增加了一个新纪录种dysoxylufm densiflorum(Bl. )Miq.及中文描述,并将D. spicatum并入D. binectariferum,将D. hainanense并入D. mollissimum,将D. gobara并入D. excelsum,对个别云南特有种作了补充描述。     

Age-specific metabolic rates and mortality rates in the genus Drosophila

Early theories of aging suggested that organisms with relatively high metabolic rates would live shorter lives. Despite widespread tests of this 'rate of living' theory of aging, there is little empirical evidence to support the idea. A more fine-grained approach that examined age-related changes in metabolic rate over the life span could provide valuable insight into the relationship between metabolic rate and aging. Here we compare age-related metabolic rate (measured as CO2 production per hour) and age-related mortality rate among five species in the genus Drosophila. We find no evidence that longer-lived species have lower metabolic rates. In all five species, there is no clear evidence of an age-related metabolic decline. Metabolic rates are strikingly constant throughout the life course, with the exception of females of D. hydei, in which metabolic rates show an increase over the first third of the life span and then decline. We argue that some physiological traits may have been shaped by such strong selection over evolutionary time that they are relatively resistant to the decline in the force of selection that occurs within the life time of a single individual. We suggest that comparisons of specific traits that do not show signs of aging with those traits that do decline with age could provide insight into the aging process.     

道地药材霍山石斛及其相似种的分子鉴定

为检测霍山石斛与霍山产铜皮石斛、霍山产铁皮石斛及其它产地的几种药用石斛的差异,对霍山石斛及其相似种进行ISSR分子标记比较研究。结果表明,尽管霍山石斛及其相似种的外部形态差异较小,但在ISSR分子标记指纹图谱上却存在着显著而稳定的差异。因此,根据ISSR分子标记指纹图谱所显示的多态性位点差异,能准确鉴别霍山石斛及其相似种植物及药材。此方法简单、稳定性高、可重复性好,在霍山石斛的分子鉴定研究中有较大的应用价值。     

国产牡竹属野龙竹和版纳甜龙竹的订正

通过对模式标本和原始文献的研究,确认<中国植物志>、、<云南植物志>、<中国竹类植物图志>、<云南树木图志>、<中国竹类图志>等重要专著中广泛使用的版纳甜龙竹学名Dendrocdanus hamittonii Nees et Arn.为错误鉴定,其正确学名为D.parishii Munro;野龙竹(D.semiscandens Hsueh et D.Z.Li)为D.ham iltonii Nees et Arn.的异名.     

Two New Species of Dendrocalamus Nees (Bambusoideae) from China

Two new species of bamboo, Dendrocalamus ovatus Xia et Chia and D. textilis Xia, Chia et C. Y. Xia, collected from southwestern China aredescribed.     

Analysis of the variability of Drosophila azteca and D. athabasca populations revealed by randomly amplified polymorphic DNA

The disribution ranges of Drosophila azteca and D. athabasca overlap in northen California and southern Oregon. Seven populations, four of which are located in this area, were studied. Large random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) variation was found within species; nevertheless, more than half the primers used in the study yielded greater diofference between than within species. A nested analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that the variance between populations within species was significantly greater than zero for 55% of the oligonucleotides used, which provided evidence for an underlying geographical structure of these populations. Specimens of D. azteca and D. athabasca from Salem (OR), where both species were collected together, presented the highest similarity encountered between species.
