几种含笑属(木兰科)植物的花粉形态

含笑属（Ｍｉｃｈｅｌｉａ）４种花粉光镜下形态相似。ＳＥＭ下观察,黄兰（Ｍ．ｃｈａｍｐａｃａ）和金叶含笑（Ｍ．ｆｏｖｅｏｌａｔａ）表面雕纹为小穿孔,苦梓含笑（Ｍ．ｂａｌａｎｓａｅ）为小穴,野含笑（Ｍ．ｓｋｉｎｎｅｒ－ｉａｎａ）为细皱纹,较粗糙。ＴＥＮ下观察,４种花粉外壁均可分为覆盖层、柱状层和基层。其中黄兰的柱状层结构较原始,金叶含笑的较进化。花粉形态在一定程度上可反映类群的系统演化。     

木莲属(木兰科)5种植物的花粉形态

光学显微镜下观察的木莲属(Manglietia)5种植物的花粉形态相似。长赤道轴大于45μm,属于大的花粉。扫描电镜下观察,花粉外壁均为小穴状雕纹,但毛桃木莲(Manglietia moto)和厚叶木莲(M．pachyphylla)略为粗糙。透射电镜下观察,5种植物花粉外壁均可分为覆盖层、柱状层和基层。覆盖层不连续,有小穿孔。在远极面萌发沟区域,外壁逐渐减薄,最后覆盖层和柱状层消失,仅残留基层。柱状层内空间较密实,内部空隙小,多由颗粒构成,处于小柱发育的初级阶段。孢粉学资料证明木莲属是木兰科最原始的类群。

对紫花含笑(Michelia crassipes)、灰岩含笑(M.calcicola)及其杂种F1代花粉生活力进行了研究,为基于紫花含笑和灰岩含笑杂种F1代的含笑属观赏植物新品种培育与种质创新提供科学数据及研究资料.研究发现,亲本(紫花含笑和灰岩含笑)新鲜花粉萌发率均可达90％以上,杂种F1代花粉萌发率从38％到79％...     

木兰科植物的人工杂交

采用常规人工杂交方法,在木兰科中进行了68个组合杂交试验。结果表明：花粉活力随种类不同有很大差异,人工授粉后结实率很高,小孢子败育不是木兰科植物自然结实率普遍低的主要原因。木兰亚属种间杂交均表现为亲和,含笑属有些种间杂交不亲和;属间杂交多不亲和,但红元宝二乔玉兰与金叶含笑和云南含笑的杂交完全亲和,结实率高达80％～100％,表明玉兰亚属和含笑属间有较近的亲缘关系;观光木与金叶含笑、云南含笑虽有较高的杂交结实率,但杂交种子不能萌发,支持观光木属成立。

Male external genitalia and systematic relationships of the Japanese macaque (Macaca fuscata Blyth, 1875)

Penial morphology was studied in six preserved specimens of the Japanese macaque,Macaca fuscata. Structure of the glans penis and baculum inM. fuscata is essentially similar to that in the rhesus macaque,M. mulatta. With age the skin of the penis inM. fuscata apparently becomes progressively more darkly and extensively pigmented, and the baculum becomes progressively longer. One immature specimen examined, with penial skin unpigmented and baculum cartilaginous, appears to be abnormally retarded in penial development. Penial morphology suggests that the allopatric speciesM. fuscata, M. mulatta, M. cyclopis, andM. fascicularis constitute a closely interrelated group. Contrary to a previous report, there is no evidence that penial morphology inM. fuscata is transitional to that inM. radiata andM. sinica. InM. fuscata, M. mulatta, andM. fascicularis, latitudinal variation of body size and relative tail length conforms toBergmann's rule andAllen's rule; external proportions in three specimens ofM. cyclopis only partly conform to this pattern.     

Baculum length and copulatory behavior in primates

The length of the baculum (os penis) was measured in 74 adult males representing 46 primate species. These data, and a review of previously published measurements, indicate that variation in baculum length among primates is related to taxonomic and behavioral differences. Thus, many New World monkeys have shorter bacula, relative to body weight, than Old World monkeys. The baculum is shorter in colobine monkeys than in cercopithecines. Among the great apes, reduction of the baculum is more pronounced in Pan and Gorilla than in Pongo. Very long bacula are found in some nocturnal prosimians (eg, Lorisidae) and also in Macaca arctoides. A comparison of baculum length relative to body weight was made in 34 species for which detailed information on copulatory behavi or was available. The presence of an elongated baculum was shown to correlate with copulatory patterns involving prolonged intromission and/or the maintenance of intromission during the postejaculatory interval (eg, Galago crassicaudatus, Loris tardigradus, M, arctoides). The evolutionary significance of these observations is discussed and it is suggeted that similar copulatory patterns may occur in species with elongated bacula (eg, Daubentonia, Perodicticus) for which behavioral data are lacking at present. The same hypothesis also applies to an extinct adapid primate which possessed a very large baculum.

Baculum length and copulatory behaviour in carnivores and pinnipeds (Grand Order Ferae)

Relationships between baculum length, body weight and copulatory behaviour were examined in 66 species of carnivores and pinnipeds (Grand Order Ferae). Elongated bacula occur in most carnivore species of the families Ursidae, Canidae, Procyonidae and Mustelidae as well as in all pinnipeds studied. By contrast, members of the family Felidae have short bacula in relation to their body weights. Elongate bacula are found in carnivores and pinnipeds with a prolonged single intromission (PI) copulatory pattern. This finding agrees with results of a previous study of baculum length and PI copulatory patterns in primates. The enlarged baculum may serve to strengthen the penis and protect the urethra during prolonged intromissions. The distal pole of the baculum may also assist sperm transport since in some species it projects beyond the tip of the penis and probably contacts the female's os cervix during copulation. It is possible that stimulation of the female's genitalia by the baculum might also be important in mammals which are induced ovulators (e.g. Mustelidae). However, it is notable that elongation of the baculum has also occurred in some groups where females ovulate spontaneously (e.g. Canidae, Primates).     

The baubellum is more developmentally and evolutionarily labile than the baculum

Understanding the evolutionary forces that influence sexual dimorphism is a fundamental goal in biology. Here, we focus on one particularly extreme example of sexual dimorphism. Many mammal species possess a bone in their penis called a baculum. The female equivalent of this bone is called the baubellum and occurs in the clitoris, which is developmentally homologous to the male penis. To understand the potential linkage between these two structures, we scored baculum/baubellum presence/absence across 163 species and analyzed their distribution in a phylogenetic framework. The majority of species (N = 134) shared the same state in males and females (both baculum and baubellum present or absent). However, the baubellum has experienced significantly more transitions, and more recent transitions, so that the remaining 29 species have a baculum but not a well‐developed baubellum. Even in species where both bones are present, the baubellum shows more ontogenetic variability and harbors more morphological variation than the baculum. Our study demonstrates that the baculum and baubellum are generally correlated across mammals, but that the baubellum is more evolutionarily and developmentally labile than the baculum. The accumulation of more evolutionary transitions, especially losses in the baubellum, as well as noisier developmental patterns, suggests that the baubellum may be nonfunctional, and lost over time.
