八角目（Illiciales）植物花被片表皮比较形态

在光学显微镜和扫描电镜下,观察了八角科（Illiciaceae）八角属（Illicium Linn．）2组11种20个材料、五味子科（Schisandraceae）南五味子属（Kadsura Ksempf．ex Juss．）2亚属2组8种15个材料和五味子属（Schisandra Michx．）2亚属4组6种17个材料的花被片表皮形态特征。首次报道了八角目2个科（八角科和五味子科）3个属（八角属、南五味子属和五味子属）植物花被片表皮细胞的形状、分泌细胞的形状及分布、气孔器的形状及分布、花被片表面的纹饰。通过与八角目2个科3个属植物的叶表皮形态比较,发现花被片表皮气孔器外拱盖均为单层,与叶表皮气孔器外拱盖层数（常绿种类为双层和落叶种类为单层）之间没有相关性,还在五味子科中发现2个新的性状（气孔对和环列型气孔）。通过对两性花、雌花和雄花花被片表皮观察,发现花被片表皮形态与花的性别之间没有相关性。通过对八角属、南五味子属和五味子属花被片表皮比较,发现五味子属与南五味子属相比,其花被片表皮表现出更多的衍生性状;南五味子属与八角属相比,前者花被片表皮具有更多的衍生性状;而南五味子属花被片表皮形态与五味子属的相似性程度较大,支持五味子科包含南五味子属和五味子属、八角科包含八角属的观点。

中国螽斯的分类研究I.中国蛩螽族十新种(直翅目:螽斯总科:蛩螽科)

蛩螽族 Meconematini隶属于蛩螽科 Meconematidae,是一类体形较小而纤弱 ,但活动非常敏捷的螽斯。我国记载约 1 0属 72种。俄罗斯直翅目分类学家 Gorochov( 1 993,1 998)对这一类群的分类系统进行了调整 ,根据雄性生殖器的构造 ,建立了不少新属及新亚属 ,并发表了相当多的新种。在 Gorochov确定的属及亚属特征中偏重了雄性的形态特征 ,对雌性和两性共有的一些特征却没有给予归纳 ,至使一部分仅知雌性的种类无法被正确归属。我们将根据现已掌握的材料 ,对一些属和亚属的地位重新进行划分 ,确立 1个较合理的 ,能客观反映其间亲缘关系及演化规律的分类系统。本文根据中国蛩螽族的材料 ,描述 1 0新种 ,分别隶属于优剑螽属 Euxiphidiopsis,东栖螽属 Eoxizicus和新栖螽属 N eoxizicus,其中的优剑螽属 Euxiphidiopsis和东栖螽属 Eoxizicus是由亚属提升为属的地位 ,和新的同物异名 (东栖螽属 Eoxizicus Goro-chov,1 993=亚栖螽属 Axizicus Gorochov,1 998)。原先的副剑螽亚属 Paraxiphid-iopsis Gorochov,1 993看作是优剑螽属 Euxiphidiopsis的 1个亚属。所有模式标本分别保存在中国科学院上海昆虫研究所 ,北京中科院动物研究所 ,天津自然博物馆和广州中山大学昆虫学研究所。

梾木属四照花亚属的系统和总览

不同作者对四照花亚属的性状估价不同,因而对其下分类群的分类很不一致。本文据其不同的过冬习性和芽结构与地理分布相关联,建立了两个组、两个系的新系统。并根据"形态地理"学的方法,认为"种"是一组居群,与另一种在形态上需有间断区别,"亚种"是种的组成成分,有一定分布区(若是同域则占居不同生境),形态上有区别,但在分布区交接处有中间类型存在,"变种"是种内限于较狭分布区域成分散分布的变异类形;将该亚属由原来19个种处理成4个种,12个亚种及3个变种。     

Induction of Continuous Tepal Differentiation from in Vitro Regenerated Flower Buds of Hyacinthus orientalis

Continuous differentiation of tepals was successively induced from regenerated flower buds in Hyacinthus orientalis L. cv. White Pearl by controlling the exogenous hormones and explant ages. In 250 days of subculture, each flower bud differentiated an average of more than 70 tepals, with a maximum of over 140 tepals. Studies on the morphogenesis and characteristics of growth and development of the flower buds indicate that the first whorled organ of the flower bud was perianth which consisted of perianth tube and tepals grown at the top of the perianth tube, which is the same as the flower bud of the wild type in H. orentalis. The second and third whorls of the flower bud, which should be stamen and pistil in the wild type, but remained as the tepals in the regenerated flower bud. Growth of the regenerated flower bud was faster in the first several months of culture, then slowed down gradually with time. After 150 days in culture the flower bud growth and organ differentiation became very slow. Other than the tepal differentiation the regenerated flower buds also differentiated at random positions some small flower buds that also differentiated the tepals only. Histological observation revealed that the origin of the regenerated flower buds was jointly participated by some cells in the epidermal and subepidermal layers at the inner surface of the perianth explant, and the inner small flower buds were originated from the meristem which was formed by the transformation of the parenchyma at the base of the very young tepal. The authors also compared and discussed the similarities and differences of the phenotypes between the regenerated flower bud in Hyacinthus and agamous flower in Arabidopsis, from which, they have hypothesized on the role of the hormones in the promotion and termination of the gene expressions by an order of development in plant.

Corolla morphology influences diversification rates in bifid toadflaxes (Linaria sect. Versicolores)

Background and Aims

The role of flower specialization in plant speciation and evolution remains controversial. In this study the evolution of flower traits restricting access to pollinators was analysed in the bifid toadflaxes (Linaria sect. Versicolores), a monophyletic group of ∼30 species and subspecies with highly specialized corollas.

Methods

A time-calibrated phylogeny based on both nuclear and plastid DNA sequences was obtained using a coalescent-based method, and flower morphology was characterized by means of morphometric analyses. Directional trends in flower shape evolution and trait-dependent diversification rates were jointly analysed using recently developed methods, and morphological shifts were reconstructed along the phylogeny. Pollinator surveys were conducted for a representative sample of species.

Key Results

A restrictive character state (narrow corolla tube) was reconstructed in the most recent common ancestor of Linaria sect. Versicolores. After its early loss in the most species-rich clade, this character state has been convergently reacquired in multiple lineages of this clade in recent times, yet it seems to have exerted a negative influence on diversification rates. Comparative analyses and pollinator surveys suggest that the narrow- and broad-tubed flowers are evolutionary optima representing divergent strategies of pollen placement on nectar-feeding insects.

Conclusions

The results confirm that different forms of floral specialization can lead to dissimilar evolutionary success in terms of diversification. It is additionally suggested that opposing individual-level and species-level selection pressures may have driven the evolution of pollinator-restrictive traits in bifid toadflaxes.
