Foliar sclereids in the Magnoliaceae

The foliar sclereids in 136 species representing 11 of the 12 genera of Magnoliaceae were studied and compared. Sclereids occur in four different cell assemblages within the leaf: diffuse idioblasts, mesophyll, dermal system, and the vein sheath including terminal elements. Tropical members tend to have the most highly sclerified leaves. In species of Manglietia the leaves have sclerified spongy mesophyll and either sclerified epidermis or hypodermis. In Talauma , sclerification affects the vein sheath and terminal cells of veinlets, with a specialized thick marginal vein in the Asian taxa but not in the American ones. Liriodendron and the magnolias native to the north temperate zone have only minimal sclerification, which usually is confined to the vein sheath of the midrib and the main lateral veins, and as idioblastic sclereids in the petiole and the midrib near the base of the blade. The two largest genera Magnolia and Michelia are heterogeneous and include species which vary as to their combinations of sclerified elements among the four possible types.     

Anticancer sesquiterpene lactones of Michelia compressa (magnoliaceae)

Investigation of the cytotoxic active components of Michelia compressa afforded two new cytotoxic sesquiterpene lactones, michelenolide and micheliolide. Parthenolide, costunolide, santamarine, reynosin and liriodenine were also isolated and exhibited cytotoxic activity. The known sesquiterpene lactones, lanuginolide and dihydroparthenolide, were isolated but were not active. Two other new inactive sesquiterpene lactones, compressanolide and dihydroreynosin, were also obtained. The structures of michelenolide and micheliolide were confirmed by partial synthesis from parthenolide and the structure of compressanolide by partial synthesis from dihydroparthenolide.     

Lignans in flower buds of Magnolia fargesii

Four lignans were isolated from the flower buds of Magnolia fargesii Cheng, two of which were known lignans, pinoresinol dimethyl ether and lirioresinol-B dimethyl ether; the other two were new lignans, magnolin and fargesin, and their structures have been determined by spectroscopic studies.     

A guaianolide from Magnolia grandiflora

The leaves of Magnolia grandiflora afforded in addition to costunolide diepoxide and parthenolide a guaianolide named magnograndiolide.     

木兰科的分支分析

主要以形态学、解剖学、细胞学为依据,以德坚木属为外类群,用分支分析的方法探讨了木兰科属间的系统发育关系。有２３个分支单位,选取３２个性状,根据外类群比较原则和化石地层学资料,确定了性状的祖征和衍征。对数据矩阵的分支分析使用ＰＡＵＰ３．１．１和Ｈｅｎｎｉｇ ８６ ｖ．１．５分别在Ｍａｃｉｎｔｏｓｈ和ＩＢＭ机上运行,前者以启发法,后者以ＢＢ命令运算,经严格一致化处理,得到一致化分支图。结果表明：１）木

中国木兰科植物修订

对中国产的木兰科植物３个大属即木莲,木兰和含笑进行了分类修订工作,共提出新组合５个,新异名８个,澄清２种和１亚种。     

濒危植物长蕊木兰的核型

报道了长蕊木兰（Alcimandra cathcartii）的染色体核型,核型公式为2n=2x=38=22m＋15sm（3sat）＋1st。核型类型属于Stebbins的2A型。第18条染色体为st染色体,第5、6、7条sm染色体的短臂上各具有1个随体。间期核为简单染色中心型（simple chromocenter type）,有丝分裂前期染色体为中间型（interstitial type）。对前人关于木兰属和含笑属植物的核型研究结果进行了比较分析,长蕊木兰与含笑属亲缘关系较近,但稍有区别,而与木兰属的亲缘关系较远。     

乐昌含笑(木兰科)的核型研究

首次报道了乐昌含笑(Michelia chapensis)的染色体数目和核型。核型公式为2n=38=28m 6sm 4st(2SAT)。与前人认为整个含笑属都为单一的2A型不同,乐昌含笑的核型属于Stebbins的2B型,具有2对近端着丝粒染色体。而且发现在第9对染色体上有小随体的存在。这些表明在含笑属内含有不同的核型。乐昌含笑在细胞学意义上可能是属内比较进化的类群。对染色体结构的细微改变在木兰科植物的种属进化上的作用进行了简要讨论。
