中华猕猴桃与毛花猕猴桃种间杂交初步研究

本文用中华猕猴桃和毛花猕猴桃为材料进行种间杂交试验,初步结果表明,两物种间具有一定程度的杂交亲合性。正反交组合的座果率与对照组一样,均为100%;其当代果重和种子数量,均低于对照组;与亲本类似,杂交组合当代果重与种子数量呈正相关。本文可供猕猴桃育种工作及种系发生研究参考,     

猕猴桃种间及种内杂交亲和性研究

以3个种的9个猕猴桃品种为试材,通过培养法比较它们的花粉活力,用荧光显微镜观察猕猴桃种间与种内杂交亲和性,并统计其亲和指数及坐果率,为猕猴桃的杂交育种以及最佳授粉树的选配提供依据.结果表明:猕猴桃花粉活力在种间表现为美味猕猴桃＞中华猕猴桃＞狗枣猕猴桃;中华猕猴桃和美味猕猴桃种间和种内杂交组合的柱头识别反应快,花粉在柱头粘附多、生长快且萌发率高、亲和性较强且坐果率较高,而用狗枣猕猴桃与中华猕猴桃和美味猕猴桃种间杂交的花粉在柱头上萌发生长发育缓慢,其亲和性弱,平均坐果率仅为19.81%;30个杂交组合中亲和指数最高的是'金阳'×'金阳'雄株,亲和指数为960.33,坐果率为95.56%,最低的是'狗枣'×'金阳'雄株,亲和指数201.60,坐果率为12.22%.研究发现,猕猴桃的种间亲和性小于种内亲和性,同种内不同品种间的亲和性与坐果率也不同.     

蝴蝶兰红花系品种杂交种子形态及胚培养研究

对21个蝴蝶兰自交或杂交组合的种子形态进行观察和无菌培养,结果表明,蝴蝶兰不同组合的种子形态有一定差异,平均种子长、宽及种胚长、宽分别为0.292±0.025 mm、0.073±0.003 mm及0.151±0.009 mm、0.069±0.003 mm。种子萌发率及萌发所需时间因组合而异,平均萌发率为72.4%,原球茎及第一片叶出现所需时间分别为22±3 d、78±6 d,杂交组合启动萌发早、萌发率高。种子启动萌发所需时间、萌发率与果实、种子大小相关不显著,而种子启动萌发所需时间与种胚长、宽呈极显著负线性相关,表明种胚越大,萌发越快。     

烟草种间杂交亲和性

以野生烟草Nicotiana alata、N.rustica、N.repanda、N.stocktonnii与栽培烟草K326、红花大金元、Yun87、Yun97为材料,进行种间正反杂交,研究种间杂交亲和性。田间观察杂交后的坐果情况并统计坐果率,采用显微荧光染色观察授粉后花粉管在雌蕊上的生长情况,并结合杂交后代萌发检测的方法。结果表明：N.rustica、N.repanda、N.stocktonnii与栽培烟草杂交不亲和。N.rustica花粉能够穿过K326花柱,N.repanda和N.stocktonnii花粉在K326柱头上很少萌发生长。N.alata花粉可以穿过K326的花柱,并得到果实,但是萌发实验显示其种子无活力。N.alata作为母本与栽培烟草杂交不亲和。

软枣猕猴桃控制授粉对果实和种子的影响

为了研究软枣猕猴桃授粉规律,以11年生软枣猕猴桃紫果3号为试验材料,设置剪留花柱数量为0、2、5、8、11、14、17和23(全留对照组)共8个处理。人工授粉,收获后调查测定其单果重、坐果率、果型指数、果实可溶性固形物含量和果实内含种子数量。结果表明:随着授粉柱头数的增加,单果重等主要指标相应增加;当授粉柱头数增至为8时,其果型指数和果实可溶性固形物含量与对照全留柱头23相比差异不明显;当授粉柱头数增至为11时,其单果重、坐果率和果实内含种子数量与对照全留柱头23相比差异不明显。据此软枣猕猴桃充分授粉的数量级指标为11,当授粉柱头数小于11时,产量降低、品质下降;当授粉柱头大于11时,浪费花粉。生产上可利用猕猴桃精准充分授粉技术,节约使用花粉或减少果园雄株数量,以提高生产效率。     

野生杜鹃杂交亲和性及适宜的评价指标

以映山红和马银花为母本,映山红亚属、羊踯躅亚属、杜鹃亚属、常绿杜鹃亚属以及马银花亚属的5个亚属16个中国野生杜鹃种为父本进行杂交授粉,统计子房膨大率、坐果率和种子萌发率,分析杜鹃属植物远缘杂交的亲和性,探讨其杂交亲和性适宜的评价指标。结果表明:映山红作为母本,与同亚属的杜鹃杂交亲和性较好,与其它亚属的杜鹃种的杂交亲和性存在显著的亚属间和种间差异;而马银花作为母本,与同亚属的西施花进行杂交,未获得杂交果实和种子,但与杜鹃其它亚属种的杂交,部分杂交组合显示出较好的杂交亲和性。这一结果表明,映山红作为母本,与马银花相比,有着较好的杂交亲和性,并且杜鹃属植物的杂交亲和性与目前杜鹃分类体系中的亲缘关系并没有直接关系。进一步的数据分析表明,子房膨大率与坐果率、坐果率与蒴果平均种子数之间呈显著正相关,但子房膨大率与果实内种子数无直接相关性;花粉活力(大于15%)、父母本花柱长度比(在0.50~2.12范围内)与子房膨大率等亲和性指标无显著相关性。     

西双版纳地区4种榕树果实的资源分配及其种子萌发特性

为了解榕树果实的资源分配和种子萌发特征,对西双版纳地区的垂叶榕(Ficus benjamina)、高山榕(F.altissima)、聚果榕(F.racemosa)和无柄雅榕(F.concinna)的果实营养、繁殖资源分配,以及种子萌发特性进行了研究。结果表明,4种榕果的营养分配存在差异,榕果重的种类果肉亦多,榕果大者果腔较大,且种子数量较多,但雄花和榕小蜂数量不一定多。榕果分配给雌性功能及雄性功能繁殖的小花比例也不相同,聚果榕在雌性功能上的分配显著大于雄性功能,其它3种榕果则分配于雄性功能的资源比雌性功能的多,但程度不同。此外,4种榕树的种子大小及重量存在显著的种间差异,以至于影响到种子的萌发率及根茎生长,果实最大的聚果榕种子最多,萌发率高,但由于种子最小,其根茎生长缓慢且短;果实适中的垂叶榕和高山榕种子较大,不但萌发率较高,其根茎生长也较快;果实和种子都小的无柄雅榕,种子萌发率低,根茎生长慢。生长在水热环境好的榕树比生长在相对贫瘠环境的榕树,由于极少面临水热光照等限制,更容易进化出较小的种子,萌发能力和速度也相对较差。这说明不同生境中榕树进化出了不同的繁殖分配机制及资源利用策略来适应环境变化。     

高山杜鹃与大喇叭杜鹃种间杂交过程的观察研究

以高山杜鹃‘Nova Zembla’为母本,大喇叭杜鹃为父本进行人工杂交授粉,利用荧光显微镜对杂交组合花粉萌发及花粉管生长过程进行观察,并统计其杂交的田间坐果率。结果显示:(1)授粉后1d花粉开始萌发形成花粉管,其萌发率在授粉后1～5d内显著增长,其后增长缓慢,到第12天萌发率最高达37.36%。(2)花粉萌发后花粉管生长速度由慢变快,授粉后2d花粉管进入花柱,7d进入子房,10d进入胚珠;实验中杂交花粉管与胚珠虽有结合,但与胚珠结合率低,授粉后12d仅7.42条花粉管进入胚珠。(3)在花粉管生长过程中,伴有大量异常现象,表现为授粉后柱头细胞、花粉管、花柱引导组织、子房组织、胚珠中的胚囊等部位依次出现胼胝质沉积反应,花粉管生长中出现的膨大、先端沉积胼胝塞而中途停止生长、螺旋扭曲、粗细不均、杂乱生长或螺旋膨大且逆向生长等异常。(4)该实验杂交的田间坐果率为零。研究表明,高山杜鹃‘Nova Zembla’与大喇叭杜鹃杂交不亲和,杂交后花粉管生长的异常行为可能是种间杂交不亲和的主要原因,且受精前障碍与受精后障碍可能同时存在。     

三种甘草属植物的种间杂交亲和性及杂交种子活力

通过新疆分布的3种甘草属植物——乌拉尔甘草（Glycyrrhiza uralensis）、光果甘草（G．glabra）和黄甘草（G．eurycarpa）的人工杂交试验,比较了杂交结果率、杂交种子的萌发参数、幼苗成活率等指标,并对杂交授粉后花粉管萌发、生长过程进行荧光观察,旨在探讨3种甘草属植物的种间杂交亲和性及杂交后代种子活力。结果表明：（1）种间杂交结果率最高为96．67％,最低为55．62％,说明3种甘草种间杂交配子亲和性较高;（2）荧光显微观察表明,各杂交组合在授粉后0．5～2h内花粉均可在柱头上大量萌发,在授粉后48h内花粉管均可到达子房与胚珠受精,说明三种甘草种间杂交不存在配子隔离障碍;（3）杂交种子萌发率、发芽指数、平均萌发时间和幼苗成活率与自然结实种子无显著差异,种间杂交种子活力较高,幼苗成活率均为75％以上。以上结果表明3种甘草属植物的同域分布区,在相同传粉途径下,这三种甘草属植物的种间隔离机制不完善。有发生自然杂交并形成杂交区的可能。     

濒危植物金花猕猴桃繁殖生物学初步研究

繁殖生物学是目前濒危植物保护生物学研究的重点领域之一,金花猕猴桃(Actinidia chrysantha)是猕猴桃属濒危物种之一,目前未见其繁殖生物学相关报道。因此,该文以分布于花坪国家级自然保护区的野生金花猕猴桃为研究对象,用游标卡尺测量了花器官及果实形态,通过野外观察记录了其物候、访花昆虫及开花结果习性,用人工授粉和套袋法确定其传粉媒介,开展田间播种试验确定种子繁殖力,对其繁殖生物学开展了较为系统的研究。结果表明：金花猕猴桃物候因海拔高度不同而不同,较低海拔地区5月中下旬开花,高海拔地区5月下旬至6月上旬开花,花期持续7~10 d,果实每年9月下旬至10月上旬成熟;雄株花枝率76.5％,雌株果枝率61.9％,果实长圆柱形、短圆柱形或椭圆形,平均单果重7.34~27.53 g,最大果重35.0 g;金花猕猴桃为虫媒和风媒共同授粉,主要访花昆虫有蜜蜂科、细蜂科、鼻蝇亚科、食蚜蝇科、蜡蝉科、大蚊科长脚蚊属昆虫等;金花猕猴桃种子发芽率低,参试的3个居群的种子发芽率存在差异,分别为花坪17.5％,资源车田15.36％,贺州姑婆山0;4种不同种子处理方式中,低温＋GA3处理的种子发芽率(22.67％)最高。综上所述,金花猕猴桃不存在传粉障碍,种子萌发率低可能是致其濒危的重要原因。该研究结果为保护金花猕猴桃种质资源提供了科学依据。     

POLLEN AND OVULE SOURCES AFFECT SEED PRODUCTION OF LOBELIA CARDINALIS (LOBELIACE AE)

To examine the breeding system and components of male and female reproductive success in the hermaphroditic plant Lobelia cardinalis, we performed three crossing experiments with plants taken from natural populations. The experiments were designed to determine if the crossing success of plants as pollen and ovule parents was affected by the distance among mates, including self-pollinations and pollinations between populations; to determine if plants differed in their abilities to sire or mature seed; and to determine if there was a correlation between a plant's success at siring and maturing seed. Selfpollinations resulted in significantly fewer seeds per fruit and significantly smaller seeds. There were no significant differences in germinability between selfed and outcrossed seeds. Distance among parents within a population did not affect any of the traits. Outcrosses within and between population produced similar numbers of seeds per fruit, similar seed weights, and similar germination success. There were highly significant differences among maternal plants in all three experiments in the number of seeds they matured, mean seed weight, and seed germinability. The maternal parent was the most important factor determining seed production, but there were also significant differences among paternal plants in the number of seeds they sired (all three experiments), in the germinability of the seeds they sired (two experiments), and in the sizes of seeds they sired (one experiment). Our results indicate that differences in success of Lobelia plants as male parents cannot be due solely to their relatedness to the female parent.     

Pollen viability and limitation of seed production in a population of the circumpolar cushion plant, Silene acaulis (Caryophyllaceae)

Pollen viability among genders and limitation of female seed production in a natural trioecious population of the circumpolar cushion plant Silene acaulis was examined. Pollen viability was estimated by an in vitro pollen germination experiment. Both male and hermaphrodite flowers displayed large variation in pollen viability (0–53% in hermaphrodite and 0–54% in male flowers). There was a significant difference between genders in pollen viability: male plants had on average higher pollen viability than hermaphrodite plants. Resource and pollen limitation of seed production was studied by an experiment consisting of three treatments; (I) hand-pollination and removal of all other flowers on the cushion, (II) hand-pollination without removal of other flowers, and (III) open pollination without removal of flowers. Hand-pollination increased seed production, whereas removal of flowers had no effect on seed production. Abortion of pollinated ovules during seed development and seed mass did not differ among treatments. To control for effect of fruit number on seed production, data from naturally pollinated individuals was used. There was a positive correlation between both total number of seeds and fruit number, mean seed number per fruit and fruit number, respectively. These results indicate that seed production of 5. acaulis is mainly limited by pollen availability whereas resource competition between fruits is not important as a limiting factor. The possible role of male quality differences between genders and pollen limitation of seed production for maintenance of trioecious reproductive systems is discussed.     

EFFECT OF MALE POLLEN DONOR AND FEMALE SEED PARENT ON ALLOCATION OF RESOURCES TO DEVELOPING SEEDS AND FRUIT IN CHAMAECRISTA FASCICULATA (LEGUMINOSAE)

In Chamaecrista fasciculata, fruit abortion levels are high and seed mass is highly variable, necessary preconditions for differential resource allocation of the female to seed and fruit sired by different males. This study investigated the relative role of pollen donor and seed parent on the allocation of resouces to developing seed and fruit, and assessed the role of genetic relatedness in contributing to any observed paternal effect in C. fasciculata. In addition, pollen donor effects were contrasted to within-seed parent sources of variation in resource allocation due to pollination date and ovule position in the pod. Plants collected from the field were brought to a greenhouse where single-donor crosses were conducted controlling for pollen donor source and interplant distance, a measure of genetic relatedness. Seed mass, number of seed/fruit, fruit maturation time, and fruit abortion rate were measured as indicators of resource allocation to developing seed and fruit. Variation in resource allocation was largely determined by the seed parent. Pollen donor effects were limited to differences between self vs. non-self pollinations, suggesting that inbreeding depression following mating events between related individuals is the source of any variation among pollen donors on differential resource allocation to developing seed and fruit. Once the effect of inbreeding was removed, however, pollination date and ovule position played larger roles than pollen source. Since there was no detectable variation among male pollen donors in their ability to accrue resources from the female seed parent apart from inbreeding effects, it is concluded that the opportunity for postzygotic mate choice is limited in C. fasciculata.     

Effects of parentage,prior fruit set and pollen load on fruit and seed production in Campanula americana L

Summary We conducted a controlled crossing experiment to examine the effects of maternal and paternal parentage, the size of the pollen load, and prior fruit production on the proportion of flowers that set fruit, seed number per fruit and seed weight in a natural population of Campanula americana. Effects due to the maternal parent were large for all measures of fruit and seed production, while the paternal parent had a significant effect only upon mean seed weight. As the number of prior fruits on the maternal plant increased the probability that a flower would produce a mature fruit, the number of seeds per fruit, and total seed weight per fruit all decreased. We found no effect of the size of the pollen loads used in this study on fruit or seed production. These results are consistent with those of other studies that suggest in natural plant populations maternal effects, especially environmental maternal effects, can have an overwhelming effect on fruit and seed production and on seed characteristics.     

野菊与菊花杂交中花粉活力和柱头可授性及胚胎发育研究

应用石蜡制片、活体压片、光学显微镜及扫描电子显微镜观察等方法,研究了四倍体河南云台山野菊(Dendranthema indicum)与栽培菊花'钟山金山'(D.grandiflorum 'Zhongshanjinshan')种间杂交中父本花粉活力、花粉在柱头萌发、花粉管生长及胚胎发育情况等.结果发现,父本云台山野菊的花粉活力在授粉时为12%左右.人工授粉后的不同时间,在柱头上都观察到正常萌发的花粉粒,且花粉管都能进入柱头,其中,在授粉后0.5 h时,平均每柱头有5.9粒花粉萌发;12 h时,为59.9粒;而24和48 h时,则分别降为47.1和35.7粒.此外,在授粉后8、10、12和15 d时,分别在49.1%、40.8%、39.7%和38.5%子房内观察到正常发育的胚胎,最终杂交结实率为44.8%,而母本自然开放结实率为52.3%.研究表明,授粉前其多数母本雌蕊发育良好、授粉后多数花粉能在柱头正常萌发和花粉管正常生长,在受精后大部分胚胎发育正常是野菊与栽培菊种间杂交较高结实率的重要保证,而授粉前父本较低的花粉活力对杂交结实率影响不大.     

Multigenerational effects of inbreeding in Cucurbita pepo ssp. texana (Cucurbitaceae)

The shape of the fitness function relating the decline in fitness with coefficient of inbreeding (f) can provide evidence concerning the genetic basis of inbreeding depression, but few studies have examined inbreeding depression across a range of f using noncultivated species. Futhermore, studies have rarely examined the effects of inbreeding depression in the maternal parent on offspring fitness. To estimate the shape of the fitness function, we examined the relationship between f and fitness across a range off from 0.000 to 0.875 for components of both male and female fitness in Cucurbita pepo ssp. texana. Each measure of female fitness declined with f, including pistillate flower number, fruit number, seed number per fruit, seed mass per fruit, and percentage seed germination. Several aspects of male fitness also declined with f, including staminate flower number, pollen number per flower, and the number of days of flowering, although cumulative inbreeding depression was less severe for male (0.34) than for female function (0.39). Fitness tended to decline linearly with f between f = 0.00 and f = 0.75 for most traits and across cumulative lifetime fitness (mean = 0.66), suggesting that individual genes causing inbreeding depression are additive and the result of many alleles of small effect. However, most traits also showed a small reduction in inbreeding depression between f = 0.75 and f = 0.875, and evidence of purging or diminishing epistasis was found for in vitro pollen-tube growth rate. To examine inbreeding depression as a maternal effect, we performed outcross pollinations on f = 0.0 and f = 0.5 mothers and found that depression due to maternal inbreeding was 0.07, compared to 0.10 for offspring produced through one generation of selfing. In at least some families, maternal inbreeding reduced fruit number, seed number and mass, staminate flower number, pollen diameter, and pollen-tube growth rate. Collectively these results suggest that, while the fitness function appears to be largely linear for most traits, maternal effects may compound the effects of inbreeding depression in multigenerational studies, though this may be partially offset by purging or diminishing epistasis.     

Comparing heat stress effects on male-fertile and male-sterile tomatoes

To separate the effects of heat stress on male and female reproductive tissues, male-sterile (MSs) and male-fertile tomatoes (MFs) were placed in growth chambers at 12 h day/12 h night temperatures of 28/22, 30/24 or 32/26 °C from flower appearance to seed maturation (daily mean temperatures of 25, 27 or 29 °C). Pollen from MFs was applied individually to MS flowers. As MFs were self-pollinated, heat stress was experienced by both male and female tissues. At growth temperatures of 29 °C fruit number, fruit weight per plant, and seed number per fruit were only 10%, 6·4% and 16·4%, respectively, compared with those at 25 °C. Heat stress also adversely affected fruitset in MSs, especially when experienced by donor pollen. No fruit at all developed on MSs receiving pollen produced at 29 °C, even when ovule development, pollen germination and subsequent embryo development all took place at 25 °C. Effects on fruitset in MSs were reduced if donor pollen had not experienced heat stress. MSs grown at 29 °C but receiving pollen developing at 25 °C produced 73% as much fruit (both on number and weight basis), had 40% as high fruitset and produced 87% of the seed per fruit as MSs grown at 25 °C. This use of male-sterile and male-fertile lines of tomato provides new evidence that impairment of pollen and anther development by elevated temperature will be an important contributing factor to decreased fruit set in tomato, and possibly other crops, with global warming.     

黄牡丹远缘杂交后代花粉粒特征

为揭示牡丹远缘杂交后代花粉粒的特征,测定了以肉质花盘亚组黄牡丹为母本,革质花盘亚组栽培品种‘日月锦’、‘层中笑’、‘百园红霞’等为父本的10个远缘杂交组合,共计11个亲本、25个后代的花粉畸形率和萌发率,用扫描电镜观察了花粉粒形态,同时也观察了花和叶的形态特征。结果表明:与双亲相比,杂交后代的花粉量极少,花粉粒萌发率极低,畸形率极高,畸形花粉粒扭曲、破碎或粘成团块状。25个杂交后代的花粉粒均为超长球形,具三拟孔沟,与母本黄牡丹和绝大多数父本一致;但杂交后代的花粉粒小于双亲,外壁纹饰类型受父本影响较大,为小穴状、穴状、网状和粗网状。结合前人的观察结果,25个杂交后代中15个与父本的纹饰类型一致,与母本纹饰类型一致的杂交后代仅有6个,与父母本纹饰类型均不同的杂交后代有4个。形态观察发现杂交后代具有父本的花盘革质、心皮被毛的特征,而小叶分裂程度较母本减轻但小叶裂片较母本加宽;花径则介于父母本之间。其中,心皮被毛、小叶裂片加宽可以结合花粉粒特征作为以黄牡丹为母本的远缘杂交后代的形态识别标记。     

EFFECTS OF PARENTAL IDENTITIES AND ENVIRONMENT ON COMPONENTS OF CROSSING SUCCESS IN PHLOX DRUMMONDII

A controlled pollination study, involving a diallel crossing scheme among 15 Phlox drummondii individuals grown under either control, low water or low nutrient conditions, was performed. The results of this research demonstrate that, although plant size and flower number are responsive to the treatments, pollen germination percentage, the survival probability of developing seeds and the weight of mature seeds are buffered against water and nutrient deprivation. However, the identities of male and female parents did have significant effects on pollen germination and seed survival, and female identity had a significant effect on seed weight.
