箭叶淫羊藿与近缘种天平山淫羊藿花粉形态对比研究

该研究采用扫描电子显微镜(SEM, scanning electron microscope)对箭叶淫羊藿13个居群(含箭叶淫羊藿光叶变种1个居群)、天平山淫羊藿7个居群进行花粉形态和外壁纹饰的观察及对比研究。结果表明:两个类群的花粉均为近球形,具三孔沟,大小相近。箭叶淫羊藿的花粉大小为(18.21～21.66)μm ×(19.55～23.63)μm, 天平山淫羊藿的花粉大小为(18.32～21.43)μm ×(19.73～23.48)μm。外壁纹饰是花粉形态的重要性状。不同居群间花粉外壁纹饰存在较大差异,主要分为网纹纹饰、条网纹纹饰和颗粒状纹饰三大类,继而根据网脊类型和网眼密度分为六亚类。其中,箭叶淫羊藿的花粉形态包含了全部的三大类六亚类,天平山淫羊藿包含其中的三大类四亚类。天平山淫羊藿花粉特征为箭叶淫羊藿花粉形态变异的子集。整体而言,外壁纹饰类型随纬度和海拔增加呈现出由网状纹饰向条网状纹饰过渡的趋势。花粉主要形态性状特征均与海拔存在密切相关性。在花粉形态及外壁纹饰特征上,天平山淫羊藿在箭叶淫羊藿变异范围之内,与其他宏观形态性状变异一致。花粉形态性状无法将两类群有效区分,未能提供天平山淫羊藿作为独立种的有力支撑。这暗示花粉形态证据在厘清近缘类群之间的系统发育关系意义相对有限,但能否对该属系统发育树大支的界定提供有力证据还有待于进一步研究。

胭脂花是分布于中国北部的报春花科报春花属花柱二型植物,为了阐明胭脂花花粉形态的多样性,对胭脂花分布范围内的7个野生居群的花粉形态进行了测定。结果表明,胭脂花花粉属N3P4C5型,极面观多为三角形,具三孔沟,少数为四边形,具4孔沟;短花柱植株的花粉粒较大(16.53×17.58μm),花粉粒外壁粗糙,表面纹饰多,网眼大;长花柱植株的花粉粒较小(12.95×13.72μm),花粉粒外壁较光滑,表面纹饰少,网眼小。不同居群间花粉粒在大小、网眼直径、外壁纹饰等方面存在显著差异,花粉形态变异系数在4.88%~35.48%之间;短花柱类型各居群的平均变异系数为16.18%,居群间差异较大,其中庞泉沟居群变异系数最大(24.05%),海坨山居群最小(10.13%);长花柱类型各居群的平均变异系数为14.89%,庞泉沟居群的变异系数最大(19.75%),五台山与海坨山居群最小(12.50%),长花柱类型的花粉性状比短花柱植株更为稳定。UPGMA聚类分析发现,7个居群聚为两大类,除庞泉沟居群外,其他居群聚为一组,地理距离相近的居群一般聚在一起。研究结果为胭脂花种质资源遗传多样性及育种研究提供了依据。     

山茶属的花粉形态及其分类学意义

本文对山茶属(Camellia L.)18个组27个代表种的花粉进行了光学显微镜、扫描电镜和大部分进行了透射电镜的观察,并对花粉大小、形状、外壁纹饰和超微结构等作了综合的比较。结果表明,其形状和大小差异不很明显。花粉壁的层次、厚度和不同层次的比例,如复盖层与柱状层以及外壁外层与外壁内层的比例等也没有显著的差异。但花粉壁的纹饰特征在扫描电镜下显示出较大的差异,具有较重要的分类学价值。根据其纹饰特征,可以把山茶属花粉大致区分为六个类型:皱疣状纹饰;粗瘤状纹饰;颗粒状至皱-颗粒状纹饰;穴-网状纹饰;皱沟状纹饰及皱波-念珠状纹饰。孢粉学上区分的类型不完全与各个学者从植物形态上划分的组相一致。其中管蕊茶 Camellia lanceolata的纹饰非常特殊(粗瘤状),其外壁表面很象牛心果(Annona reticulata)的外形特征,为其重新分类提供孢粉学依据。

唇形科香茶菜属二萜类化合物分布规律

香茶菜属（Isodon）由于富含二萜类化合物（Diterpenoids）而具有较高的药用价值,本研究根据其所含二萜的骨架和氧化状态,对该类化合物在香茶菜属植物中的分布规律进行研究。UPGMA聚类分析结果显示：含二环和三环二萜为主的植物种类聚在一支上,含四环二萜为主的植物种类聚在另一支上。进一步将二萜分为二环、三环、四环三大类绘制到分子系统树上结果显示：三环二萜主要分布在较原始的类群中,如：线纹香茶菜（I.lophanthoides）和小花线纹香茶菜（I.lophanthoides var. micranthus）;而四环二萜主要分布在较进化的类群中,如：旱生香茶菜（I.xerophilus）和腺花香茶菜（I.adenanthus）。本研究通过对二萜类化合物与香茶菜属系统发育之间存在的联系进行探讨,有助于对香茶菜属植物中的二萜类化合物活性成分进行筛选与研发。     

毛茛叶报春组一存疑种花粉形态的多样性研究

对分布于浙江西北部的毛茛叶报春组(sect. Ranunculoides)一存疑种5个居群共50个植株的花粉形态进行了研究观察。结果表明该存疑种的花粉形态特征在种下具高度多样化,根据萌发孔类型、数量及组成的不同,其花粉可划分为多沟型、沟多孔少型、孔多沟少型、散孔型和环沟型5种类型;而且居群间花粉的大小及花粉类型的组成也存在较大的差异;此外,同一个植株或同一个花粉囊的花粉也可能具有多种类型的花粉。本文进一步证明了花粉形态特征在种内可能存在多样化的现象。花粉形态特征支持该存疑种为一个独立的新物种,它很可能是由具多沟型和散孔型花粉的亲本杂交进化而来。     

Pollen heteromorphism is pervasive in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Thalictrum</Emphasis> (Ranunculaceae)

Among the angiosperms, features of pollen morphology such as grain size, aperture number and surface ornamentation display striking variation. It is less well appreciated that pollen morphology may vary within and among populations of the same species as well as within individual plants. In some species, individual plants produce multiple types of fertile pollen grains (called pollen heteromorphism). Aspects of pollen morphology, such as aperture number, are likely to affect fertilization success with different morphologies favored in different local competitive and ecological environments. This study surveys variation in pollen grain morphology among species throughout the genus Thalictrum. Pollen from individuals of 36 species was rehydrated from herbarium specimens, and light microscopy was used to quantify pollen grain aperture number and size. I find that pollen aperture-number heteromorphism is present within all Thalictrum species studied, and distributions of aperture-number morphs vary both within and among species. This study provides an example of significant pollen heteromorphism within a genus that also varies widely for pollination mode and sexual system.     

Shape and Size Modification of Recent Pollen Grains under Acetolysis

In this paper, the shape and size modification of recent pollen grains have been studied. 63 species of recent pollen grains that belongs to 55 genera, 26 families were observed before and after the acetolysis treatment with LM. The length of polar axis and equatorial axis and the thickness of exine were measured from about 20 pollen grains for each species (the thickness of exine were only measured for acetolysed pollen grains). The significance of shape and size modification was examined with the statistical method "ttest". From this investigati0n it can be concluded that: The pollen modification in size and shape 'was related to aperture type, pollen size, wall thickness and sculpture depth. Pantoporate, spheroidal pollens and small perporlate pollens usually change little in there size and shape after acetolysis. The size of colpate pollens was generally increased, or their shape changed. The size or shape change usually got bigger as the pollen size, wall thickness and sculpture depth became bigger and bigger. Oblate pollens were apter to change their size and shape than prolate pollens. The P/E ratio of most colpate pollens became a little bigger after acetolysis.     

Morphological and genetic differentiation in Isodon umbrosus by altitudinal variation in bumblebee pollinator assemblages

The corolla tube length of the bumblebee-pollinated plant Isodon umbrosus shows conspicuous geographical variation, corresponding with the proboscis length of its bumblebee pollinators across its distributional range. We hypothesized that altitudinal variation in the pollinator assemblage is a principal factor mediating morphological and genetic differentiation among I. umbrosus populations. We examined determinants of the morphological and genetic differentiation of Isodon umbrosus by analyzing floral morphology and allozyme variation across the distributional range. A reanalysis of previous data confirmed that altitude was a good indicator of pollinator assemblages. Corolla tube length was highly variable among the 15 study populations, and genetic differentiation among the populations ( G _ST = 0.360) was also highly significant. The differentiation in corolla tube length was explained by altitudinal difference, a proxy of the difference in pollinator assemblages. Genetic differentiation among populations also tended to be affected by the same factor, but statistical support was weak. To better understand the mechanisms responsible for morphological and genetic differentiation in I. umbrosus , we need to investigate altitudinally different populations over a narrower geographical scale.     

Phenotypic variation in metamorphosis in four species of freshwater copepods

1. Physiological metamorphosis accompanied by an ecological habitat shift is a widespread life-history phenomenon, and both age and size at metamorphosis are highly variable in many organisms. In this study, age and size at metamorphosis (defined as the transition from the last naupliar to the first copepodite stage) were quantified for four species of freshwater copepods to determine the scale on which these two traits vary, if age and size at metamorphosis are equally variable, and if variation at metamorphosis is related to variation in newborn size. 2. Measurements of laboratory-reared and field-caught individuals show that age and size at metamorphosis, together with newborn size, vary among siblings, between families within a population, between populations of one species and between closely related species. 3. In all populations, age at metamorphosis was the most variable trait, a result observed in many other organisms. Most of the variation in age at metamorphosis could be explained by differences between families within a population, while differences among siblings from the same clutch accounted for most of the variation in size at metamorphosis. 4. Although newborn size was variable, differences in this trait could not fully account for variation observed at metamorphosis. Newborn size differed among populations, but most interpopularional differences disappeared by the rime metamorphosis was reached. In particular, size at metamorphosis appears to be tightly constrained in freshwater copepods. 5. Age and size at metamorphosis were not equally variable among species, either. Species-specific metamorphic envelopes (joint distributions of age and size at metamorphosis) result from differences in trait means, variances and covariances, and suggest very different larval growth trajectories among three of the species examined.
