冰凉花根系发育形态学的初步研究

冰凉花属于宿根植物,其根几乎终生为初生结构。一年生苗直根系的主根和侧根的初生木质部均为二原型。二至多年生植株的不定根分为二原型、三原型、四原型和五原型,其分枝均为二原型。根在一年中有两个生长期。展叶结果营养期产生新的不定根,旧根顶端恢复延长生长或产生新的分枝。夏季枯萎休眠期新生根变成黄褐色,停止生长。秋季地下生长期根系又开始生长。冬季严寒迫使生长趋于停止。研究冰凉花根系发育形态学不仅具有理论意义而且有很好的应用前景。

谈谈正常根、不定根和变态根

根大都是植物体的地下器官。根据它们发生的部位和形态、结构与功能的适应,可有以下不同的划分: (一)从根在植物体上发生的部位看,有由种子的胚根发育而成的主根以及其上发生的各级分枝——侧根,侧根均由根(主根、侧根、不定根)的中柱鞘部位发生,由下它们发生的部位固定,可以认为是定根。但定根一词并不是植物形态学的正式名词,是相对于不定根而言。在植物体上除了发生定根部位以外的其他部位发生的根都叫不定根。如植物体的茎、叶、胚轴或根的中柱鞘以外的成熟部位均可有不定根产生。主根、侧根和不定根     

人参季节性吸收根发育形态学研究(英文)

本文研究了人参季节性吸收根的发育形态学。弄清了其发生发展规律、发现人参的吸收根每年更新一次,在生长末期吸收根萎缩脱落,并在根痕附近同时形成越冬根原基。越冬根原基与根痕一起俗称为“珍珠疙瘩”其植物学本质是越冬根原基复合体。在下一年春天,越冬根原基再萌动形成新的吸收根。     

生长素极性运输在水稻根发育中的作用

生长素极性运输(PAT)在植物生长发育尤其是极性发育和模式建成中起重要作用.采用2种PAT抑制剂TIBA(2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid)和HFCA(9-hydroxyfluorene-9-carboxylic acid)处理水稻(Oryza sativa L. cv.Zhonghua)幼苗,结果表明:PAT影响水稻根发育包括主根的伸长、侧根的起始和伸长以及不定根的发育.PAT的抑制导致主根变短、侧根和不定根数目减少.外源附加生长素(NAA)可以部分恢复不定根的形成但不能恢复侧根的形成,表明在侧根和不定根的形成上可能具有不同的机制.切片结果表明,30μmol/TIBA处理后并不完全抑制侧根原基的形成,进一步研究表明生长素由胚芽鞘向基部的运输在水稻不定根的起始和伸长中起关键作用.     

人参皂苷对4种栽培作物早期根系发育的化感效应

人参、西洋参能通过根系分泌三萜皂苷等化感物质,严重影响后茬人参的生长,但对人参以外的植物是否具有化感效应尚不清楚.本实验研究了不同质量浓度的人参皂苷对小麦、白菜、黄瓜及绿豆4种常见栽培作物早期根系发育的影响,结果发现人参皂苷处理液(25、50和100 mg· L-1)对4种作物主根及不定根的发育影响不尽相同.随着处理质量浓度的升高,小麦、白菜、黄瓜根系活力分别比同组CK明显降低,根长、根鲜重也呈降低趋势.各浓度人参皂苷处理对黄瓜和绿豆下胚轴不定根的数量、根长、根鲜重及根系活力的影响均未达到显著水平,但二者抗氧化酶的活性都微有升高.总之,人参皂苷对4种栽培作物的主根发育均有抑制作用,尤其对小麦、黄瓜主根生长的抑制作用较强;但对黄瓜和绿豆不定根发育的影响不明显.

Resin ducts of Pinus hatepensis Mill.–Their structure, development and pattern of arrangement

The primary resin ducts in the axis of plants of Pinus halepensis Mill, consist of two separate systems the pattern of which is correlated with the vascular systems of the organs in which they appear. These systems are: (1) ducts of the roots and the hypocotyl; (2) ducts of all the branches and juvenile leaves or scaleS. Both systems are produced by the apical meristemS. In the needles there is a third system of primary resin ducts situated in the mesophyll. These ducts are produced only to a small extent by the apical meristem of the needle and mainly by its intercalary meristem. In addition to these primary ducts of the needle, which form a separate system for each needle, at the base of the needle there may be ducts of secondary origin which are situated within the vein. These are continuous with secondary ducts of the brachyblast axis.
The secondary ducts constitute one system in the secondary xylem and phloem of the roots, branches and needle bases. They are formed by the cambium. In the xylem there are vertical and radial ducts which together form co-planar radial networkS. Each radial duct starts from a vertical duct. The first location of the stimulus for the formation of the two types of ducts is discussed. In the phloem there are only radial ducts, continuous with the radial ducts of the xylem. The cavities of the radial phloem and xylem ducts are not continuous, as there are no intercellular spaces in the region of the cambium.
The innermost vertical ducts of the secondary xylem form a kind of transitional type, in respect of their response to internal and external factors, between the primary resin ducts and the bulk of the secondary resin ducts.     

Proteome of Oriental ginseng Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer and the potential to use it as an identification tool

Oriental ginseng (Panax ginseng C. A. Meyer) and American ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) are two widely used valuable traditional Chinese medicines (TCM). Previously, the identification of ginseng was mainly performed by analyzing the ginsengnosides using high performance liquid chromatography and amplification of polymorphic DNA using polymerase chain reaction. However, these methods cannot be used to distinguish TCM samples which are from different parts (main root, lateral roots, rhizome head and skin) of ginseng and ginseng culture cells from wild-grown ginseng. The present study aimed to identify different species of ginseng, different parts of the same ginseng and cultured cells of ginseng using a proteomic approach. Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) maps were established from the American ginseng main root, different parts (main root, lateral roots, rhizome head and skins) of Oriental ginseng and Oriental ginseng culture cells. Our results show that the 2-DE maps of different ginseng samples contain sufficient differences to permit easy discrimination. We have also identified common and specific protein spots in the 2-DE maps of different ginseng samples. The use of these "marker proteins" may help to speed up the identification process.

Changes in gene expression during hairy root formation by<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrobacterium rhizogenes</Emphasis> infection in ginseng

Researchers have widely adopted the hairy root culture system as a means for producing secondary metabolites, including ginsenosides from ginseng. Although bacterial genes are involved, the aspects of plant gene expression are unclear. Using a cDNA microarray approach, we identified genes that are differentially expressed in ginseng hairy roots afterAgrobacterium rhizogenes infection. Our goal was to gain an initial understanding of the correlation between hairy root morphology and ginsenoside production. Among the 250 genes analyzed here, 63 (including 14 that are unclassified) were differentially expressed in a hairy root line containing a high level of ginsenosides. Of the genes that had been functionally categorized, 29% and 17% were active in metabolism and stress responses, respectively. Most were primarily associated with ribosomal proteins, thereby functioning in protein synthesis and destination. Their expression was down-regulated in hairy roots having less lateral branching. This phenotype may have resulted from the manipulation of metabolic activities by the translational machinery.     

Vegetative anatomy of Pachycortnus (Anacardiaceae)

Pachycormus discolor , an arborescent desert perennial endemic to Baja California, has small, pinnately compound, hypostomatic, bifacial leaves produced on short shoots and photosynthetic stem phelloderm covered by exfoliating translucent phellem. Tightly packed laminal palisade cells are filled with tannins and lack chloroplasts. Spongy mesophyll is the major photosynthetic tissue. Leaves possess unicellular trichomes with secondary walls and uniseriate trichomes with glandular heads. Schizogenous resin ducts occur in primary phloem of stems, leaves and roots as well as all living tissues of the bark. Developmental studies reveal that initiation and differentiation of foliar primordia resembles that of other dicotyledons except that tannin cells and secretory ducts arise precociously. Primary vasculature is an open sympodial system with three principal traces diverging toward each foliar primordium. The wood is highly specialized and comprises mostly unlignified cells packed with starch grains. Thick bark is mainly produced as annual layers of secondary phloem marked by a ring of secretory ducts each surrounded by tannin cells. The possible adaptive significance of these unusual anatomical features is discussed.     

Saponin production by cultures of Panax ginseng transformed with Agrobacterium rhizogenes

Hairy root culture of Ginseng (Panax ginseng) was established after roots were induced on callus following infection with Agrobacterium rhizogenes. The transformed cultures of ginseng could be subcultured as an axenic root culture in the absence of phytohormones, and grew with extensive lateral branches more rapidly than the ordinary cultured roots induced by hormonal control from ginseng callus. The hairy roots synthesized the same saponins, ginsenosides, as those of the native root, up to about 2.4 times in the quantity, and up to about 2 times in comparison with that of the ordinary cultured roots, on dry weight basis.Abbreviations Ms medium Murashige and Skoog's medium - 2,4-D 2,4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic acid - IBA indole-3-butyric acid - K kinetin This paper is Part 52 in the series "Studies on Plant Tissue Culture".

Ephemeral root modules in Fraxinus mandshurica

Historically, ephemeral roots have been equated with 'fine roots' (i.e. all roots of less than an arbitrary diameter, such as 2 mm), but evidence shows that 'fine roots' in woody species are complex branching systems with both rapid-cycling and slow-cycling components. A precise definition of ephemeral roots is therefore needed. Using a branch-order classification, a rhizotron method and sequential sampling of a root cohort, we tested the hypothesis that ephemeral root modules exist within the branching Fraxinus mandshurica (Manchurian ash) root system as distal nonwoody lateral branches, which show anatomical, nutritional and physiological patterns distinct from their woody mother roots. Our results showed that in F. mandshurica, distal nonwoody root branch orders die rapidly as intact lateral branches (or modules). These nonwoody branch orders exhibited highly synchronous changes in tissue nitrogen concentrations and respiration, dominated root turnover, nutrient flux and root respiration, and never underwent secondary development. The ephemeral root modules proposed here may provide a functional basis for differentiating and sampling short-lived absorptive roots in woody plants, and represent a conceptual leap over the traditional coarse-fine root dichotomies based on arbitrary size classes.
