两种榕属植物的染色体核型分析

采用根尖压片法对菩提树(Ficus religiosa Linn.)和小叶榕(Ficus microcarpa L.f.)进行染色体核型分析.结果显示两种植物的染色体数目均为2n=30,核型类型均为1B,核型公式分别为菩提树2n=2x=30=24m(2SAT)+6sm,小叶榕2n=2x=30=28m(2SAT)+2sm.比较发现,两种植物的核型相似,亲缘关系相近,二者中小叶榕的不对称系数较小(58.16%),为较原始的类型.两者的核型均为首次报道.     

Enhanced shoot multiplication in Ficus religiosa L. in the presence of adenine sulphate,glutamine and phloroglucinol

Ficus religiosa (Pipal) is a long-lived valuable multipurpose forest tree. The tree is exploited because of its religious, ornamental and medicinal value and the regeneration rate in natural habitat is low. An in vitro propagation protocol has been developed from nodal segments obtained from a 45–50-year old tree. The highest bud break frequency (100 %) followed by maximum number of multiple shoots (13.9) as well as length (2.47 cm) were obtained on Woody Plant medium (WPM) supplemented with 1.0 mg/l BAP along with 0.5 mg/l IAA. Two modifications in this medium resulted in enhanced shoot regeneration-one with 200 mg/l glutamine + 150 mg/l ADS (called as MM-1) giving 32.5 shoots per nodal explant while another modification—with 200 mg/l glutamine + 150 mg/l ADS + 100 mg/l phloroglucinol (called as MM-2) giving 35.65 shoots per explant. These two media were used for sub-culturing of shoots for 4 months. The rate of shoot multiplication was same during the first three sub-cultures on MM-1 and the shoots regenerated were healthy, afterwards shoot multiplication declined. While on MM-2, shoot multiplication declined after first sub-culture and shoots underwent the problem of early leaf fall. Rooting was best induced in micro-shoots excised from proliferated shoot cultures on semi-solid as well as liquid WPM modified with 2.0 mg/l IBA and 0.5 mg/l IAA. The in vitro-raised plantlets were potted and acclimatized under culture room conditions for 25–30 days before transfer to soil conditions, where the established plants showed more than 90 % survival.     

小叶榕气生根气体交换特征及影响因子研究

用LI-6400XT便携式光合仪测定了小叶榕(Ficus microcarpa L. f.)气生根的气体交换特征。结果表明气生根具有呼吸、蒸腾作用和空气吸湿作用。影响气生根呼吸作用的因素为年龄>空气温度>光强>相对湿度;影响蒸腾作用的因素为年龄>相对湿度>空气温度>光照。年龄小的气生根的呼吸和蒸腾作用较强,年龄大的尤其是木质化程度较高的气生根的呼吸作用较小,水分的释放(蒸腾作用)转变为水分的吸收(吸湿作用)。年龄小的气生根的CO2交换率与温度呈线性关系,温度越高,CO2交换率越大,呼吸越强;H2O交换率与相对湿度呈线性关系,相对湿度越大,H2O交换率越小,蒸腾越弱;年龄大的成熟气生根的H2O交换率与空气相对湿度呈线性关系,相对湿度越大,H2O交换率越小,蒸腾越小。     

Ficus sp. and Musanga leo‐errerae: coexistent keystone fruits for chimpanzees in Kalinzu forest

The composition of Ficus sp. and Musanga leo‐errerae in Chimpanzees’ diet was investigated by faecal analysis and direct observation in the medium altitude forest of Kalinzu, along the albertine rift, south‐western Uganda. The fruit availability of Ficus species showed significant variations while that of Musanga leo‐errerae was consistent and significantly higher than that of Ficus (P = 0.053; t = ?2.034) all year round. Their consumption was not opportunistic as no correlation existed between their fruit abundance and their occurrence in chimpanzee faecal samples/diet (Musanga leo‐errerae: r = 0.153, P = 0.456; Ficus sp.: r = 0.039, P = 0.848). Results showed that Musanga leo‐errerae and Ficus species seeds occurred in 80.2% and 67.2% respectively of the total 2635 chimpanzee faecal samples analyzed. Although there was no significant difference between chimpanzees party size that fed on Musanga leo‐errerae and Ficus tree species, the rate of consumption was significantly different in the low (t = 3.835; P = 0.031) than the high fruiting season (t = 2.379; P = 0.063). Ficus sp. and Musanga leo‐errerae genera function as coexistent keystone fruits for chimpanzees because they perfectly complement each other in terms of chimpanzees’ sustenance. This information has significant implications in the management of tropical forests like Kibale, Budongo, Bwindi Impenetrable, Gombe and Mahale inhabited by primate populations especially the endangered ones like the chimpanzee.     

云南省榕小蜂和榕树的物种组成及多样性

榕小蜂是榕树(Ficus spp．)唯一的传粉昆虫,榕树隐头果又是榕小蜂唯一的寄主：榕树必须依靠榕小蜂传粉才能获得有性繁殖;而榕小蜂又必须依靠榕树隐头果内的瘿花作为食物和栖息场所才能正常生长、发育和繁衍后代,因此两者间有着不可互缺的互惠共生关系,二者缺一就面临着两类物种同时消亡和群落的灭绝。云南是中国榕树和榕小蜂种类最丰富的省份。本文报道了在云南采集到的榕小蜂类群,隶属12属50种。云南的榕树和榕小蜂主要分布在热带和南亚热带地区的河谷和海拔1600m以下区域：随着海拔的升高,两类物种数量随之减少,到了海拔3700m以上地区,除了人工种植外,已无自然分布的榕树种群。榕小蜂的个体数量、物种丰富度、多样性指数都是在滇南地区热带雨林内最高,滇西北的高山峡谷区最低。     

古榕树健康诊断初探

通过对鼓浪屿古榕树的普查,选择其健康诊断的生长指标和生理指标,包括当年生枝叶、果实生长状况、叶绿素荧光等,对不同生长势的古榕树进行分析,旨在探讨基于生长指标与生理指标相结合的古榕树的健康诊断方法,为古榕树的养护与复壮提供依据。结果表明,生长指标与生理指标能较一致地指示古榕树的健康状况。因此,可通过生长指标与生理指标相结合的方法诊断古榕树的健康状况。     

爱玉子花发育的形态学研究

通过花序标记、形态解剖及放蜂实验方法,观察不同发育时期爱玉子雌、雄花序中花的形态特征,以及花发育与小蜂传粉(或产卵)之间的相关性。结果表明,雌前期、雌花期的瘿花在形态上没有明显变化,而雌花的花柱与柱头连成长鞭状,在雌前期呈直立管状,进入雌花期后呈弯曲的S形;在榕小蜂进入花序传粉或产卵5 d后,雌花和瘿花的柱头变黄,花柱开始脱水;在榕小蜂传粉或产卵10 d后,雌花和瘿花花梗伸长,花明显分层,胚迅速发育,子房饱满,花柱和柱头明显萎蔫。传粉小蜂在花序腔内的存活时长不超过3 d。本研究为揭示榕-蜂共生机制提供科学依据。     

贮运温度对盆栽榕树落叶及抗性生理的影响

以盆栽榕树为试验材料,探讨不同贮运温度对盆栽榕树落叶及抗性生理的变化。结果表明,不同贮运温度对盆栽榕树落叶及抗性生理影响显著。与(16±1)℃及(19±1)℃比较,(10±1)℃及(13±1)℃的贮运温度能显著减缓叶片的细胞质膜透性、降低丙二醛(MDA)含量,提高过氧化物酶(POD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性,增加可溶性糖和可溶性蛋白含量,延缓叶绿素的降解速度,落叶率低。在贮运36 d时,(10±1)℃和(13±1)℃贮运温度的落叶率均在16%以下,达到出口要求,而两者间的落叶率差异不显著。
