Minority cytotypes in European populations of the Gymnadenia conopsea complex (Orchidaceae) greatly increase intraspecific and intrapopulation diversity

Background and Aims

Patterns of ploidy variation among and within populations can provide valuable insights into the evolutionary mechanisms shaping the dynamics of plant systems showing ploidy diversity. Whereas data on majority ploidies are, by definition, often sufficiently extensive, much less is known about the incidence and evolutionary role of minority cytotypes.

Methods

Ploidy and proportions of endoreplicated genome were determined using DAPI (4'',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole) flow cytometry in 6150 Gymnadenia plants (fragrant orchids) collected from 141 populations in 17 European countries. All widely recognized European species, and several taxa of less certain taxonomic status were sampled within Gymnadenia conopsea sensu lato.

Key Results

Most Gymnadenia populations were taxonomically and/or ploidy heterogeneous. Two majority (2x and 4x) and three minority (3x, 5x and 6x) cytotypes were identified. Evolution largely proceeded at the diploid level, whereas tetraploids were much more geographically and taxonomically restricted. Although minority ploidies constituted <2 % of the individuals sampled, they were found in 35 % of populations across the entire area investigated. The amount of nuclear DNA, together with the level of progressively partial endoreplication, separated all Gymnadenia species currently widely recognized in Europe.

Conclusions

Despite their low frequency, minority cytotypes substantially increase intraspecific and intrapopulation ploidy diversity estimates for fragrant orchids. The cytogenetic structure of Gymnadenia populations is remarkably dynamic and shaped by multiple evolutionary mechanisms, including both the ongoing production of unreduced gametes and heteroploid hybridization. Overall, it is likely that the level of ploidy heterogeneity experienced by most plant species/populations is currently underestimated; intensive sampling is necessary to obtain a holistic picture.

杜梨PbPEAMT的克隆、序列分析及表达特征

采用RT-PCR、cDNA末端快速扩增法和长片段PCR技术,从杜梨幼苗中获得1个磷酸乙醇胺N-甲基转移酶基因（Pb—PEAMT）,运用生物信息学方法分析它的序列特点,并通过跨内含子引物进行半定量RT-PCR研究其在非生物胁迫下的表达情况。结果表明：PbPEA臌因编码区DNA序列长为3320bp,由11个外显子和10个内含子组成,cDNA序列长1479bp,推导的多肽包括2个II型甲基转移酶保守结构域,与蓖麻PEAMT蛋白相似性最高（86％）,亲缘关系最近。PbPEA燃因在杜梨幼苗根和叶中均为诱导型表达,100mmol·L^-1氯化钠、10％（w／v）聚乙二醇、180mmol·L^-1甘露醇或20μmol·L^-1脱落酸处理后PbPEAMT表达水平上升,表明PbPEAMT对盐碱、干旱和渗透胁迫存在表达响应,可能参与ABA介导的逆境信号转导途径。     

长江河口九段沙下沙湿地植物N、P、K的分布特征与季节动态

2005年4—12月逐月对长江河口九段沙下沙湿地生态系统主要湿地植物群落进行样方调查与样品采集,通过对海三棱藨草(Scirpus mariqueter)、互花米草(Spartina alterni-flora)和芦苇(Phragmites australis)3种植物样品中N、P、K元素含量分析与生物量测定,揭示了下沙主要类型湿地的植物N、P、K元素的含量、分布、贮量与动态变化特征。结果表明:3种湿地植物N、P、K元素含量、分布、贮量与动态特征均各具特点。不同植物以及同一植物不同构件营养元素含量与分布均存在较明显的差异。营养元素在不同植物与同一植物不同器官含量排序的差异明显。N、P、K贮量分布特征因湿地植物种类、构件以及生物量不同而异。植物中营养元素含量与贮量的分布特征存在差异,其原因在于,与营养元素含量相比,生物量是制约植物营养元素贮量的主要因子。下沙湿地3种湿地植物及其构件的营养元素含量与贮量一般都低于上沙湿地。3种湿地植物营养元素均表现出明显的季节动态,一般生长初期营养元素含量高,生长停滞期含量低。3种湿地植物N、P、K含量的动态特征存在差异,总趋势为N、P、K含量随生长过程的进行而下降,相对下降速度排序为:KNP。受局地环境条件影响,上沙与下沙湿地的植物N、P、K元素的含量、分布、贮量与动态变化特征存在差异。     

Flight tunnel response of codling moth Cydia pomonella to blends of codlemone,codlemone antagonists and pear ester

Upwind orientation flights of codling moth males Cydia pomonella L. to a single source of sex pheromone (E,E)‐8,10‐dodecadienol (codlemone) are significantly reduced when blending it with pheromone antagonists, either with codlemone acetate, (E,E)‐8,10‐dodecadienyl acetate, or with the codlemone isomer (E,Z)‐8,10‐dodecadienol. However, once activated by a pheromone stimulus, males no longer distinguish between a pheromone source and these antagonistic blend sources. This shows that the pheromone stimulus required for the initiation of an upwind flight response differs from the stimulus for maintaining upwind flight and landing at the source. In contrast to pheromone antagonists, males discriminate between pheromone alone and a blend source of pheromone and the plant volatile pear ester, ethyl (2E,4Z)‐2,4‐decadienoate. This indicates a difference in the detection and neural integration of pheromone and plant volatile stimuli.

以6年生库尔勒香梨为试材,在春季香梨萌芽前施用¹⁵N尿素,研究香梨施用¹⁵N尿素的吸收、分配和利用特性.结果表明:不同生育期香梨吸收的¹⁵N在各器官的分配率存在显著差异,盛花期¹⁵N优先分配在根中,其Ndff(从肥料中吸收的¹⁵N量对该器官全氮量的贡献率)最高,新稍次之;新梢旺长期和果实膨大期根部吸收的¹⁵N优先向新生器官(叶和新稍)运转,根部¹⁵N的分配率不断下降;果实成熟期果实成为新的分配中心,其Ndff最高,果实累积的¹⁵N量占香梨树体总的¹⁵N吸收量的19.8%.香梨树体对土施¹⁵N-尿素肥料的当季利用率随生育期的推进而不断提高,到果实成熟期达到最大值(18.5%).     

Processed kaolin as an alternative insecticide against the European pear sucker, Cacopsylla pyri (L.)

Abstract:  Application of processed kaolin particle film (Surround^® WP; Engelhard Corporation, Iselin, NJ, USA) repels insects without lethal effects; hence side effects on beneficial arthropods are low. Processed kaolin may be an alternative to broad-spectrum insecticides used against European pear sucker, Cacopsylla pyri (L.), in organic and conventional pear production. A small-plot field trial was conducted in spring 2003 to assess this hypothesis. Multiple applications of processed kaolin during the first flying period of C. pyri significantly reduced the number of nymphs compared to the untreated control. Processed kaolin protected pear trees at least as good as the standard organic insecticide rotenone. Since the effects on the summer population could not be assessed in this small-plot trial due to the high mobility of the adult C. pyri , a large-plot trial was conducted in 2004. Thereby, the processed kaolin showed a very high efficacy and the population of C. pyri was kept under a damaging level over the whole season. At the end of June the population density of C. pyri in the processed kaolin treated area was lower than in the IPM treated plot. In conclusion, kaolin shows promise as an alternative control for C. pyri in organic and IPM orchards.
