牛膝根的结构发育与三萜皂苷积累的关系

应用植物解剖学、组织化学定位及植物化学技术,研究了不同发育时期牛膝根的结构特征与三帖皂苷积累的关系。结果表明:牛膝根的初生结构和次生结构类似于一般双子叶植物,其根的加粗主要是由于三生结构的发生和分化。第一圈额外形成层产生于次生韧皮部外侧的薄壁组织细胞和射线细胞,以后的每一圈由前一圈向外衍生的薄壁组织细胞产生。额外形成层无纺锤状原始细胞和射线原始细胞之分,在切向纵切面上呈叠生排列。三生维管束以离心方式排成整齐的同心环状,由薄壁结合组织将其彼此分开,其圈数与额外形成层的圈数是一致的,随着根的个体发育而不断增加。在根的初生结构中,三萜皂苷主要分布于中柱鞘、初生韧皮部及初生韧皮部和初生木质部之间的薄壁组织细胞内;在根的次生结构中,主要分布于次生韧皮部及栓内层的薄壁组织细胞内。当三生结构形成后,除次生韧皮部及栓内层细胞外,在额外形成层和三生维管束韧皮部细胞内均有皂苷类物质积累。三生结构在牛膝根中占主要地位,是三萜皂苷积累与分布的主要场所。在牛膝根的生长发育过程中,三萜皂苷元齐墩果酸的百分含量呈“S”型曲线增长,其根的增长、加粗、三生维管束圈数、三萜皂苷总量及根中干重的积累量都在出苗后约120天达到高峰,此时应为牛膝根的最佳采收期。     

空心莲子草营养器官结构与三萜皂苷动态积累的关系

采用组织化学定位、显微制片技术和三萜皂苷定量分析方法对空心莲子草营养器官结构与三萜皂苷类物质积累关系进行了研究。结果表明：空心莲子草宿根、根状茎、茎和叶中均有三萜皂苷物质的积累,叶和根状茎内含量十分丰富。在相同采收期内含量依次为：叶＞根状茎＞根＞茎,叶中主要积累于栅栏组织细胞内。空心莲子草的根和根状茎横切面均属于异常结构,具有成同心环状排列的三生维管束。在宿根和根状茎的次生韧皮部、栓内层、三生韧皮部和结合组织内均有三萜皂苷的分布,三生结构在宿根和根状茎中占有主要地位,是三萜皂苷积累的主要场所。在不同采收期内叶、根状茎和根中三萜皂苷的积累趋势基本一致,均随生长期的增加而递增。空心莲子草茎的横切面由表皮、皮层、维管束和髓腔组成,仅部分皮层细胞和初生韧皮部内有三萜皂苷分布。     

牛膝茎的发育解剖学研究

应用植物解剖学方法研究了牛膝茎的发育过程。研究结果表明,牛膝茎的发育包括原分生组织、初生分生组织、初生结构、次生结构和三生生长5个发育阶段。原分生组织具有典型分生组织的细胞特征;初生分生组织包括原表皮、基本分生组织和原形成层。在茎的发育过程中,初生生长和早期的次生生长是正常的,但在次生生长过程中,次生维管组织仅有束中形成层产生,而没有束间形成层的分化和活动。茎的三生生长是由维管柱外侧保留的原形成层细胞发生的额外形成层的活动产生的。额外形成层开始只向内交替产生三生木质部和其间的结合组织,后来向外产生三生韧皮部,形成一轮三生维管束。牛膝茎内的韧皮纤维来源于原形成层,应属于原生韧皮部性质。牛膝茎中的2个外韧型髓维管束也来源于原形成层,与正常维管束在位置上没有相关性。但其结构类型具有多样性,有时可形成不完全的周木型髓维管束。

应用植物解剖学方法研究了牛膝(Achyranthes bidentataBlume.)根的发育过程.研究结果表明,牛膝根的发育包括原分生组织、初生分生组织、初生结构、次生结构和三生生长5个发育阶段.原分生组织具有典型分生组织的细胞特征;初生分生组织包括根冠原、表皮原、皮层原和中柱原;初生结构由表皮、皮层和中柱组成.其内皮层细胞上凯氏带明显.初生木质部多为二原型;次生结构从外到内由周皮和次生维管组织组成,其木栓形成层由中柱鞘细胞恢复分裂能力而形成,次生结构中,次生维管组织占主要地位;牛膝根的进一步加粗主要是由于三生结构的发生和分化.第一圈额外形成层产生于次生韧皮部外侧的薄壁组织细胞和射线细胞,以后的每一圈由前一圈向外衍生的薄壁组织细胞产生.额外形成层无纺锤状原始细胞和射线原始细胞之分,在切向纵切面上呈叠生排列.三生维管束以离心方式排列成整齐的同心环状,由薄壁结合组织将其彼此分开,其圈数与额外形成层的圈数是一致的,随着根的个体发育而不断增加.     

五叶木通营养器官解剖结构与三萜皂苷的积累关系

采用显微制片技术、组织化学定位和三萜皂苷定量分析方法,对五叶木通的营养器官分别进行了三萜皂苷的组织化学定位、含量和解剖结构特征研究。结果表明：三萜皂苷在五叶木通不同营养器官中的含量不同,含量测定与组织化学定位推测的结果吻合,叶＞根＞茎;三萜皂苷在同一营养器官的不同发育时期含量不同,总的规律是：老叶＞幼茎＞幼根＞幼叶﹥老根﹥老茎。三萜皂苷在不同器官中具有明确的积累位置：根中主要是次生韧皮部和周皮;皮层和次生韧皮部是茎中三萜皂苷积累部位;叶内则以栅栏组织为主。五叶木通根中初生木质部二原型,次生木质部内导管多为单管孔,少数为管孔链,纤维含量丰富。茎中韧皮纤维丰富,在幼茎中纤维成束状罩在初生韧皮部的外方,在次生韧皮部中纤维呈带状环绕在外方。叶为异面叶。

报道了波温苏铁Bowenia spectabilis Hook.ex Hook. f）根、茎、叶的解剖结构.根的初生结构由表皮、皮层和中柱三部分组成,为二原型木质部.茎具大量薄壁组织,薄壁细胞富含淀粉粒,维管束为外韧并生.叶柄中含有5-8束维管束,呈弧形排列.羽片叶角质层厚,有小叶脉产生,气孔主要分布在下表皮.根、茎、叶木质部中的管胞主要是螺纹和孔纹管胞,有少量纤维分化;茎中管胞的侧壁呈现凹凸不平,部分管胞具有分枝或分叉现象.     

小盐芥营养器官的结构特点与其盐渍环境的关系研究

利用石蜡切片法研究了盐生植物小盐芥(Thellungiella halophila)营养器官的解剖结构。结果表明：小盐芥根的初生结构中表皮细胞为1层,且细胞大而高度液泡化,根毛数量较少;皮层仅由外皮层和内皮层2层细胞构成,细胞大,排列紧密;根次生维管组织发达。茎的初生结构中外剀维管束8～10束,大小不等,呈一轮排列;髓和髓射线发达;茎次生结构中维管组织也很发达。根和茎的这些结构特点提高了植物体吸收、运输水分的能力,而且根的特殊结构和输导系统将盐分限制在根内,适应于盐渍环境所造成的渗透胁迫和干旱胁迫。小盐芥叶片较小,上、下表皮细胞各1层,细胞大而高度液泡化,叶肉中栅栏组织与海绵组织分化不明显,但叶绿体体积大、数目多,细胞间隙较大,通气性能好,光合效率高。这些特点对其适应干旱盐渍环境有重要意义。小盐芥上述结构特征与典型真盐生植物、旱生植物相去其远,其营养器官内也无盐腺、囊泡等泌盐结构。由此推论,小盐芥更倾向于似盐生植物(拒盐植物)。     

铁筷子(毛茛科)营养器官的结构及其系统学意义

应用解剖学方法,对铁筷子(Helleborus thibetanusFranch.)(毛茛科)营养器官的结构进行了研究。结果表明,铁筷子根的初生结构观察到三原型、四原型和六原型。营养器官中的维管束在横切面上木质部中的导管分子不呈“V”字形排列;根状茎的次生结构由外向内为表皮、皮层和维管柱,髓射线发达。茎的初生结构中多个维管束排列成环状,维管束鞘分化不明显,节部为单隙三迹,叶迹分别来自于3条维管束或同一条维管束。叶为两面叶,表皮细胞不规则;气孔器只分布于下表皮,为毛茛科典型的无规则型气孔。从铁筷子营养器官的解剖学特点来看,与毛茛科其它植物基本相同,但在营养器官中维管束木质部不呈“V”字形、维管束鞘分化不明显、节部具单叶隙等特征上与其它毛茛科植物不同。     

买麻藤根的异常次生生长

买麻藤(Cnetum montanum)根的异常次生生长与茎的异常次生生长相似,位于维管束外围的薄壁组织细胞可以形成维管束,以这种方式使根加粗。并且在生长过程中以同样的方式,在维管束的外围不断形成新的维管束。这些新的维管束成环状排列,因此,在老根中呈多圈的维管束。与茎唯一不同的是根的异常次生生长为不均等的,在两个宽大的射线区外侧,没有异常的维管束形成,因此,根主要向着与两条宽大射线相垂直的方向扩展,故外形呈扁圆形。     

Comparative vegetative anatomy and systematics of Vanilla (Orchidaceae)

Vanilla is a pantropical genus of green-stemmed vines bearing clasping (aerial) and absorbing (terrestrial) roots. Most vanillas bear normal, thick foliage leaves; others produce fugacious bracts. Seventeen species, including both types were studied. Foliage leaves of Vanilla are glabrous, have abaxial, tetracytic stomatal apparatuses, and a homogeneous mesophyll. Species may or may not have a uniseriate hypodermis. Crystals occur in the foliar epidermises of some species, but all species have crystalliferous idioblasts with raphides in the mesophyll. Vascular bundles in leaves are collateral and occur in a single series alternating large and small. Sclerenchyma may or may not be associated with the vascular bundles. Scale leaves may be crescent or C-shaped and usually have abaxial stomatal apparatuses. A hypodermis may or may not be present; the mesophyll contains raphide bundles in idioblasts. Vascular bundles are collateral and occur in a single row sometimes aligned close to the adaxial surface. They may or may not be associated with sclerenchyma. Stems of leafy vanillas show a sclerenchyma band separating cortex from ground tissue; stems of leafless vanillas do not show a sclerenchyma band. Ground tissue of the stem may consist solely of assimilatory cells or mixed assimilatory and water-storage cells. In some species centrally located assimilatory cells are surrounded by layers of water-storage cells. A uniseriate hypodermis is present in all stems. Sclerenchyma may completely surround the scattered collateral vascular bundles, occur only on the phloem side, or be absent. Both aerial and terrestrial roots are notable for their uniseriate velamen the cell walls of which may be unmarked or ornamented with anticlinal strips. Exodermis is uniseriate; the cells vary from barely thickened to strongly thickened. Only the outer and radial walls are thickened. Cortical cells of aerial roots generally have chloroplasts that are lacking from the same tissue of terrestrial roots. Raphide bundles occur in thin-walled cortical idioblasts. Endodermis and pericycle are uniseriate; pericycle cells are all ?-thickened opposite the phloem. Cells of the endodermis are either ?- or ∪-thickened opposite the phloem. Vascular tissue may be embedded in thin- or thick-walled sclerenchyma or in parenchyma. Metaxylem cells are always wider in terrestrial than in aerial roots of the same species. Pith cells are generally parenchymatous but sclerotic in a few species.

Role of roots in regulating the growth rate and cytokinin content in leaves

The role of roots in the enhancement of cytokinin content and leaf growth of Phaseolus vulgaris plants after decapitation and partial defoliation was investigated. Partial excision of the roots of plants which were decapitated above the primary leaf node resulted in a reduction of leaf growth and soluble proteins accumulation in the primary leaves. Roots excision was done at time of decapitation and repeated 8 days later. Endogenous cytokinins, known to be involved in enhancing shoot growth, accumulated in the leaves and stems of decapitated and partially defoliated plants. Lower levels of cytokinins were detected in the leaves of decapitated plants with only a partial root system. The level of cytokinins in the roots of decapitated plants was reduced by partial root excision. The growth and accumulation of cytokinins in leaves were, however, not totally suppressed by removing a large proportion of the roots. At the commencement of the experiment the stem had a higher cytokinin content than both the leaves and roots. This suggests that the stem could be an alternative source of cytokinins to the leaves. The cytokinin complement in the leaves of decapitated plants is not identical to that in the roots. It appears that cytokinins supplied by the roots are metabolized in the leaves, or that alternatively certain cytokinins are synthesized in the leaves themselves.     

芦荟维管束的结构与芦荟素积累的相关性

应用半薄切片、组织化学、荧光显微镜观察和薄层层析 (TLC)相结合的方法研究了中华芦荟 (Aloeve-ra L.var.chinensis)、木立芦荟 (Aloe arborescens)叶和茎内维管束的结构及其与芦荟素积累的关系。结果表明 ,木立芦荟叶内维管束和中华芦荟叶内外轮的维管束中有大型韧皮薄壁细胞 ,而木立芦荟茎和中华芦荟叶中内轮维管束无大型韧皮薄壁细胞。组织化学结果表明 ,用醋酸铅处理过的上述材料 ,大型韧皮薄壁细胞内出现沉淀物 ;在荧光显微镜下经蓝光激发 ,大型韧皮薄壁细胞发出桔黄色荧光 ,都显示出芦荟素反应。薄层层析(TLC)结果证明 ,木立芦荟和中华芦荟叶含有大型韧皮薄壁细胞的维管束都含芦荟素 ,而木立芦荟茎及中华芦荟叶中内轮维管束都不含芦荟素。为此 ,维管束中的大型韧皮薄壁细胞与芦荟素的积累密切相关 ,维管束中是否有大型韧皮薄壁细胞可作为判断是否含有芦荟素的解剖学指标。

Vascular Continuity in the Primary and Secondary Stem Tissues of Bougainvillea (Nyctaginaceae)

An investigation of stem structure of Bougainvillea by serialsections and cine-photography shows that the medullary systemof the inner area of young stems is the sole vascular systemdirectly continuous into the lateral appendages (leaves, axillarybuds and axillary thorns) via complex nodal anastomoses. Thevascular system at the periphery of the primary bundles is notdirectly continuous into these appendages. In secondary growth,there is direct continuity between vascular bundles within asingle ring, in a tangential direction via either xylem aloneor both xylem and phloem, and between rings in a radial directionalways via xylem and phloem, even though the rings are derivativesof successive cambia.

菰适应湿地环境的解剖和屏障结构特征研究

菰(Zizania latifolia)是一种多年生挺水植物,为了探讨该植物根、茎和叶的解剖结构、组织化学及其质外体屏障的通透性生理。该文利用光学显微镜和荧光显微镜,对菰的根、茎、叶进行了解剖学和组织化学研究。结果表明:(1)菰不定根解剖结构由外而内分别为表皮、外皮层、单层细胞的厚壁机械组织层、皮层、内皮层和维管柱;茎结构由外而内分别为角质层、表皮、周缘厚壁机械组织层、皮层、具维管束的厚壁组织层和髓腔。叶鞘具有表皮和具维管束皮层,叶片具有表皮,叶肉和维管束。(2)不定根具有位于内侧的内皮层及其邻近栓质化细胞和外侧的外皮层组成的屏障结构;茎具内侧厚壁机械组织层,外侧的角质层和周缘厚壁机械组织层组成的屏障结构,屏障结构的细胞壁具凯氏带、木栓质和木质素沉积的组织化学特点,叶表面具有角质层。(3)菰通气组织包括根中通气组织,茎、叶皮层的通气组织和髓腔。(4)菰的屏障结构和解剖结构是其适应湿地环境的重要特征,但其茎周缘厚壁层和厚壁组织层较薄。由此推测,菰适应湿地环境,但在旱生环境中分布有一定的局限性。     

滇重楼可持续采收方法初探

滇重楼是云南传统的道地药材。由于种苗繁育困难和生长周期长,重楼的推广种植多年来未能取得突破。滇重楼的"多年栽培,分期采收"技术是将滇重楼根茎按用途分为药用部分与种苗部分,采收时,仅采收药用部分,种苗部分(带顶芽的根茎)继续生长发育,而不是将整个根茎全部采收作为商品药材。通过考察滇重楼须根比率的月度变化规律及3年的根茎生长量,进行采收时间和经济效益分析。结果表明:实施滇重楼"多年栽培,分期采收"技术间隔时间以3年为宜,每年每公顷收益为11.25万～33.0万元,采收时间以12月至翌年3月份为宜。     

Localization and Dynamic Change of Saponin in Vegetative Organs of Polygala tenuifolia

Anatomical, histochemical and phytochemical methods were used to investigate the structure, localization and dynamic changes of total saponin and senegenin of vegetative organs in Polygala tenuifolia Willd. Histochemical localization results showed that saponin accumulated mainly in parenchyma cells of vegetative organs. The phytochemical results also showed that the saponin accumulated in the vegetative organs of P. tenuifolia, with higher content in roots and lower content in the aerial parts that included stems and leaves. The saponin content and dry weight of the vegetative organs of P. tenuifolia had dynamic variance at the developmental stages and all reached the highest level in the post-fruit period. Hence, the roots and aerial parts should be gathered in August to make full use of the plant. As the root is the main medicinal organ of P. tenuifolia, the content of total saponin and senegenin of different aged and different parts of the root were determined. The content of total saponin and senegenin exhibited a sustained decreasing trend with increasing root age; therefore, theannual roots had high quality. The content of total saponin and senegenin in different parts of the root showed obvious variation. The content in the "skin areas" was much higher than that of xylem. The results offer a theoretical basis for determining the appropriate harvesting stage and a reasonable harvest of P. tenuifolia.
