融安黄竹小穗和小花的形态发育

运用扫描电镜对融安黄竹Dendrocalamus ronganensis的小穗和小花的发生发育及形态结构进行了研究。其小穗的发育过程是: 小穗原基→第一颖片原基→第二颖片原基→第一朵小花的外稃原基→第一朵小花原基→第二朵小花的外稃原基→第二朵小花原基。小穗为由2个颖片和1-2朵小花组成的假小穗。其小花发育的过程是: 内稃原基→雄蕊原基→雌蕊原基。内稃在发生上由彼此独立的两个突起形成, 随着发育逐渐愈合。观察结果支持内稃是双起源的说法。雄蕊原基近两轮发生。雌蕊原基由小花原基的中央部分直接发育而成。在小花的发育过程中, 未观察到鳞被原基的发生。该种的小花是无花被的, 结构较为简化, 为外稃和内稃包裹的雄蕊和雌蕊组成的结构。与近缘类群做比较, 探讨了小穗和小花在竹亚科中的演化。

应用“铸模”扫描电镜法和组织切片技术对水稻幼穗的形态发生过程和顶端分生组织（ Ａｐｉｃａｌｍ ｅｒｉｓｔｅｍ ）进行了系统而细致的研究。研究表明：从营养生长转入到生殖生长早期,水稻生长锥发生了显著的变化,根据苗端分生组织（ Ｓｈｏｏｔ ａｐｉｃａｌｍ ｅｒｉｓｔｅｍ , Ｓ Ａ Ｍ ）中原基分化的属性,将水稻幼穗早期起源和发育过程分为花序顶端分生组织期（ Ｉｎｆｌｏｒｅｓｃｅｎｃｅ ａｐｉｃａｌ ｍ ｅｒｉｓｔｅｍ ｐｈａｓｅ, Ｉ Ａ Ｍ Ｐ）、小穗顶端分生组织期（ Ｓｐｉｋｅｌｅｔ ａｐｉｃａｌ ｍ ｅｒｉｓｔｅｍ ｐｈａｓｅ, Ｓ Ｐ Ａ Ｍ Ｐ）、花顶端分生组织期（ Ｆｌｏｒａｌ ｍ ｅｒｉｓｔｅｍ ｐｈａｓｅ, Ｆ Ｍ Ｐ）。在这 ３ 个大的发育时期,又根据每一发育时期中的原基分生组织生长发育的程度及先后顺序分别又可分为：花序 ０ 期、花序Ⅰ期、花序Ⅱ期;小穗期Ⅰ期、小穗Ⅱ期、小穗Ⅲ期;内稃原基分化期、浆片原基分化期、雄蕊原基分化期、心皮原基分化期。同时,在研究过程中还发现了一些与前人所不同的形态发生特征,并初步探讨了水稻幼穗早期的起源及分化发育的机理。     

毛舞花姜花器官的发生与发育

通过扫描电镜观察了毛舞花姜(Globba barthei Gagne p.)的花序及花器官的发生与发育。3枚萼片原基首先于花顶连续发生,随后花顶的中心凹陷形成环状原基,环状原基进一步分化形成三枚花瓣—雄蕊共同原基,并在花顶的中心形成花杯。共同原基分化形成花瓣和三枚内轮雄蕊,紧接着外轮雄蕊在花杯的顶点发生。远轴的两枚内轮雄蕊延伸生长并相互融合形成了唇瓣,近轴的一枚形成了可育雄蕊;近轴的两枚外轮雄蕊发育形成了成熟花结构中的侧生退化雄蕊,而远轴的一枚缺失。近轴的两枚外轮雄蕊原基起始的同时,3枚心皮原基也在中心花杯的内侧发生而后与外轮雄蕊相间排列。对毛舞花姜花序的发生和发育的观察发现,在花序轴的头几片初级苞片中产生的是珠芽原基而非蝎尾状小花序原基,其形态特征类似于早期的蝎尾状小花序原基,由此推测珠芽很可能是蝎尾状小花序的变异。

Effect of Photoperiod and Chlormequat on Apical Development and Growth in a Spring Wheat (Triticum aestivum) Cultivar

Spring wheat, cv. Timmo, was grown under three photoperiod regimes(16, 13 and 11 h) with and without treatment with the plantgrowth regulator chlormequat (applied at the glume primordiumstage of apical development) and the relationships between apicaldevelopment, primordium initiation and growth stage examined The effects of photoperiod were generally similar to those reportedfrom other studies; shorter photoperiod slowed the rate of apicaldevelopment, increased the duration of the primordium initiationphases and reduced the rate of primordium initiation. The finalnumber of spikelets was increased, but there was no effect onnumber of floret primordia per spikelet The number of tillersproduced was also higher in the shorter photoperiods. Chlormequattreatment had a similar effect to imposing short-days: floweringwas delayed and tiller production increased There were strong correlations between certain development eventsand the phasing of primordium initiation and growth stages andthese were not affected by photoperiod or chlormequat treatments.For example, the end of spikelet primordium initiation, i.e.terminal spikelet (TS) formation, coincided with the floret-stamenprimordium stage (of the most advanced spikelet) and the endof floret primordium initiation with the stigma tic branchesand hairs on ovary wall elongating stage. Similarly, rapid stemextension growth always started at TS formation while spikeextension and spike growth commenced at TS formation and thestigmatic branches stage, respectively. Tiller production alsoceased at TS formation, when rapid stem growth started Although the timing of the phases of primordium initiation andcertain growth events were linked to apical development, therate of apical development did not determine either the rateof spikelet primordium initiation or the rates of stem and eargrowth. However, there was a strong relationship between rateof development and rate of floret primordium initiation. Therewas also a strong relationship between spike length and apicaldevelopment stage Triticum aestivum, spring wheat, photoperiod, chlormequat, apical development, primordium initiation, stem and spike growth     

INITIATION OF THE VASCULAR SYSTEM IN THE FERTILE FLORET OF ANTHOXANTHUM ODORATUM (GRAMINEAE)

Procambium was initially isolated near the insertions of lemma and stamen primordia in the grass Anthoxanthum. The palea was initiated before its procambium. The acropetal, continuous differentiation of procambium involved in the siting of leaves on shoots of many other megaphyllous plants, does not occur in the rachilla of this grass. A portion of the vascular system of the fertile floret of Anthoxanthum became connected with the vascular system of the rest of the spikelet by basipetal differentiation of the procambial trace of the fertile lemma. A core of residual meristem persisted in the fertile floret above the procambial trace to the fertile lemma. Vascular continuity between the procambial trace to the fertile lemma and the procambial traces of the stamens was achieved by the differentiation of procambium from this core of residual meristem.     

Inflorescence, spikelet, and floral development in Panicum maximum and Urochloa plantaginea (Poaceae)

Inflorescence development in Panicum maximum and Urochloa plantaginea was comparatively studied with scanning electron and light microscopy to test the transfer of P. maximum to Urochloa and to look for developmental features applicable to future cladistic studies of the phosphoenol pyruvate carboxykinase (PCK) subtype of C(4) photosynthesis clade (P. maximum and some species of Brachiaria, Chaetium, Eriochloa, Melinis, and Urochloa). Eleven developmental features not discernable in the mature inflorescence were found: direction of branch differentiation; origins of primary branches; apical vs. intercalary development of the main axis; direction of spikelet differentiation; direction of glume, lemma and palea differentiation; position of the lower glume (in some cases); size of the floret meristem; pattern of distal floret development; pattern of gynoecium abortion; differential pollen development between proximal and distal floret; and glume elongation. Inflorescence homologies between P. maximum and U. plantaginea are also clarified. Panicum maximum and U. plantaginea differ not only in their mature inflorescence structure but also in eight fundamental developmental features that exclude P. maximum from Urochloa. The following developmental events are related to sex expression: size of floret meristem, gynoecium abortion, pollen development delay in the proximal floret, glume elongation and basipetal floret maturation at anthesis.

Floret position in Costularia (Cyperaceae): a new interpretation

The spikelet of Costularia has been interpreted as comprising proximal, sterile glumes followed by two larger fertile glumes that subtend respectively, a lower male and an upper bisexual floret. The terminal uppermost glume, with two keels and therefore resembling a prophyll, was empty. Studies of developmental stages of spikelets from Zimbabwe (Chimanimani Mts.) have revealed that the terminal glume envelops the bisexual floret and becomes empty only with maturation of the ovary.

Evolution of floral meristem identity genes. Analysis of Lolium temulentum genes related to APETALA1 and LEAFY of Arabidopsis

Flowering (inflorescence formation) of the grass Lolium temulentum is strictly regulated, occurring rapidly on exposure to a single long day (LD). During floral induction, L. temulentum differs significantly from dicot species such as Arabidopsis in the expression, at the shoot apex, of two APETALA1 (AP1)-like genes, LtMADS1 and LtMADS2, and of L. temulentum LEAFY (LtLFY). As shown by in situ hybridization, LtMADS1 and LtMADS2 are expressed in the vegetative shoot apical meristem, but expression increases strongly within 30 h of LD floral induction. Later in floral development, LtMADS1 and LtMADS2 are expressed within spikelet and floret meristems and in the glume and lemma primordia. It is interesting that LtLFY is detected quite late (about 12 d after LD induction) within the spikelet meristems, glumes, and lemma primordia. These patterns contrast with Arabidopsis, where LFY and AP1 are consecutively activated early during flower formation. LtMADS2, when expressed in transgenic Arabidopsis plants under the control of the AP1 promoter, could partially complement the organ number defect of the severe ap1-15 mutant allele, confirming a close relationship between LtMADS2 and AP1.
