Unrestricted quality of seeds in European broad-leaved tree species growing at the cold boundary of their distribution 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Background and Aims
The low-temperature range limit of tree species may be determined by their ability to produce and disperse viable seeds. Biological processes such as flowering, pollen transfer, pollen tube growth, fertilization, embryogenesis and seed maturation are expected to be affected by cold temperatures. The aim of this study was to assess the quality of seeds of nine broad-leaved tree species close to their elevational limit.Methods
We studied nine, mostly widely distributed, European broad-leaved tree species in the genera Acer, Fagus, Fraxinus, Ilex, Laburnum, Quercus, Sorbus and Tilia. For each species, seeds were collected from stands close to optimal growth conditions (low elevation) and from marginal stands (highest elevation), replicated in two regions in the Swiss Alps. Measurements included seed weight, seed size, storage tissue quality, seed viability and germination success.Key Results
All species examined produced a lot of viable seeds at their current high-elevation range limit during a summer ranked ‘normal’ by long-term temperature records. Low- and high-elevation seed sources showed hardly any trait differences. The concentration of non-structural carbohydrates tended to be higher at high elevation. Additionally, in one species, Sorbus aucuparia, all measured traits showed significantly higher seed quality in high-elevation seed sources.Conclusions
For the broad-leaved tree taxa studied, the results are not in agreement with the hypothesis of reduced quality of seeds in trees at their high-elevation range limits. Under the current climatic conditions, seed quality does not constitute a serious constraint in the reproduction of these broad-leaved tree species at their high-elevation limit. 相似文献13.
The recruitment of a dioecious bird-dispersed tree, the hollyIlex aquifolium (Aquifoliaceae), was studied consideringthe stages of fruit removal by birds, seed rain, post-dispersal seed predation,seed germination and seedling survival. The main objective was to test theeffect of different microhabitats within a beech forest on recruitment stages.Migrant thrushes were the main dispersers of this tree whose fruit crops wereentirely removed during two study years. Seed rain was greatest beneath hollytrees regardless of their sex and lowest in the open sites. Post-dispersal seedpredation was examined by two experiments and did not differ betweenmicrohabitats despite its quantitative importance (about 70%). Seedlingemergence, which probably corresponded to seeds from several cohorts, wasgreater beneath trees than in open sites and the density of second-yr to 5cm seedlings depended on the presence-absence of ungulateherbivores and litter. While the former had a detrimental effect, the latterhada beneficial effect on seedling abundance. Seedling survival showed nosignificant variations between microhabitats but depended on seedling densityinsome microhabitats (holly, beech). Finally, the initial seed arrival seemed todetermine microhabitat suitability for holly seedling establishment. However,under heavy browsing the density of seedlings may be strongly reduced leadingtomicrohabitat homogeneity for holly seedling establishment. 相似文献

Four new triterpenoidal saponins (1–4), oleanolic acid 3β-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-butyl ester (1), oleanolic acid 3β-O-[α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-butyl ester]-28-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (2), 19α-hydroxy oleanolic acid 3β-O-β-d-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-methyl ester (3), and 19α-hydroxy urs-12-en-28-oic acid 3β-O-α-l-arabinopyranosyl-(1 → 2)-β-d-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-methyl ester (4) were isolated from the roots of Ilex cornuta. Their structures were determined by means of extensive spectroscopic analyses (IR, ESIMS, HRESIMS, 1D and 2D NMR). Compounds 1–9 were tested for their cytotoxic activities by MTT assay, and 1, 3, 5 and 6 showed moderate cytotoxic activities against HeLa, SMMC-7721, and HL-60 human tumor cell lines. 相似文献

Seven new triterpenoids (1–7), together with two known ones (8–9), were isolated from the aerial parts ofIlex cornuta. The leaves of I. cornuta are the major source of “Kudingcha”, a popular herbal tea consumed in China and other countries. The structures of compounds 1–7 were determined as 20-epi-urs-12,18-dien-28-oic acid 3β-O-α-l-arabinopyranoside (1), 20-epi-urs-12,18-dien-28-oic acid 2′-O-acetyl-3β-O-α-l-arabinopyranoside (2), 20-epi-urs-12,18-dien-28-oic acid 3β-O-β-d-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-methyl ester (3), 3β,23-dihydroxy-20-epi-urs-12,18-dien-28-oic acid (4), 23-hydroxy-20-epi-urs-12,18-dien-28-oic acid 3β-O-α-l-arabinopyranoside (5), 23-hydroxy-20-epi-urs-12,18-dien-28-oic acid 3β-O-β-d-glucuronic acid (6), 23-hydroxy-20-epi-urs-12,18-dien-28-oic acid 3β-O-β-d-glucuronopyranoside-6-O-methyl ester (7), on the basis of spectroscopic analyses (IR, ESI–MS, HR-ESI–MS, 1D and 2D NMR) and chemical reactions. Protective effects against H2O2-induced H9c2 cardiomyocyte injury were tested in vitro for compounds 1–9, and the data showed that compound 4 had significant cell-protective effect. Compounds 1-9 did not show significant DPPH radical scavenging activity. 相似文献

A plastid phylogeny of the genus Ilex based on three different loci (the atpB-rbcL spacer, trnL-trnF and rbcL) is compared with its nuclear phylogeny based on two different loci (the ribosomal ITS and the 5S RNA spacer). These two
sets of molecular data are then compared to geographical and temporal data from the fossil record. The plastid phylogeny is
strongly correlated with the geographic distribution of extant species. However, the nuclear phylogeny is strongly incongruent
with the plastid phylogeny, suggesting frequent interlineage hybridizations. Moreover, the comparison of the ribosomal ITS
tree and the 5S RNA spacer tree indicates also possible lineage sorting. Particularly interesting is the finding of two different
Ilex lineages in the plastid American clade showing different biogeographic patterns in South America. One of them has a simple
North American/South American biogeographical relationship. The other has complex biogeographical relationships, some species
showing direct Asian/South American biogeographical relationships. During its history, the genus Ilex probably experienced frequent lineage sorting and interlineage hybridization with subsequent nuclear or cytoplasmic introgression,
making the study of its history very complex.

Asprellosides A‐K, nine new ursane‐type triterpenoid glycosides ( 1 – 9 ), and two new oleanane‐type triterpenoid glycosides ( 10 and 11 ), including six rare sulfated triterpenoid glycosides, were isolated from the roots of Ilex asprella. Their structures were determined on the basis of comprehensive spectroscopic analysis and chemical methods. Among these compounds, asprelloside B ( 2 ) and asprelloside C ( 3 ) are the first examples of triterpenoid glycosides bearing a rare 3,4‐O‐disulfo‐xylopyranosyl residue. All the saponins isolated showed no significant effects against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and lipopolysaccharide‐induced nitric oxide production in Raw264.7 macrophages. 相似文献

A survey of 27 plants of Ilex and Euonymus revealed that the distribution of anthocyanins and cinnamic acid esters in their fruits is correlated with accepted taxonomic classification. In the skin of the fruit, the 3-xylosylglucoside of cyanidin and pelargonidin and the 3-monoglucoside of cyanidin were identified, and the hydrolysed fruit-extracts were found to contain quercetin, kaempferol and caffeic acid. The genus Ilex has been shown to be distinguishable from the genus Euonymus by their anthocyanins; I. micrococca was exceptional in having only chrysanthemin. Additionally, chlorogenic and isochlorogenic acids and caffeylglucose occur in Ilex but not in Euonymus. The microspectrophotometric examination of the pigment cells of the black- and red-Ilex fruits revealed that the position of absorption maxima in the visible region is mainly related to the relative amounts of anthocyanin and flavonol present. 相似文献
