甘蓝型油菜与蔊菜属间杂种后代的苗期耐湿性综合评价

以生产上应用的耐湿性存在差异的3个甘蓝型油菜品种为对照,采用盆栽模拟湿害胁迫的方法,对15份源自甘蓝型油菜与蔊菜属间杂交获得的遗传稳定的创新种质进行苗期耐湿性鉴定和综合评价。结果显示:(1)湿害抑制根系生长,导致植株变矮,叶片发黄,生物量降低,湿害对根系影响最为严重,其次是植株总生物量积累和地上部分的生长。(2)通过主成分分析和隶属函数法,将全展叶数、绿叶率、苗高、根长、地上部分鲜重、根鲜重、植株总鲜重、地上部分干重、根干重和植株总干重等10个性状指标值转化成单一的综合评价值(D值),客观、科学、准确地对参试的18份材料进行了综合评价,为甘蓝型油菜苗期耐湿性评价提供了方法参考。(3)15份创新种质除绿叶率外的9个测定指标的耐湿性系数均高于对照品种,耐湿性综合评价结果显示,15份创新种质的D值均高于渝黄2号,13份创新种质的D值高于综合抗耐性俱佳的中油821,3份创新种质的D值高于高耐湿品种中双9号,聚类得到的高耐湿类群的7份材料中创新种质占6份(85.71%)。可见,创新种质的耐湿性平均要优于对照品种,说明通过远缘杂交获得的创新种质对甘蓝型油菜的耐湿性有了较为明显的改良和提高。     

山东蔊菜属种子形态学研究及其系统分类学意义

对山东菜属植物的种子,从大小、翅、颜色和种子微形态等方面进行了研究;结果表明该属的种子为卵形或近圆形,呈扁平状;种子表面纹饰为网状或乳突状。与近缘属种子形态的研究表明,菜属和豆瓣菜属亲缘关系较近。因种子的形态特点比较稳定,所以菜属的种子特点可以为其分类、生药鉴定以及演化提供种子形态学方面的证据。     

The regeneration and screening of watercress somaclones for resistance to Spongospora subterranea f. sp. nasturtii and measurement of somaclonal variation

A range of watercress (Rorippa nasturtium-aquaticum) explants (stems, hypocotyls, true-leaves, cotyledons and petioles) were tested for their capacity to regenerate adventitious shoots from callus formed using Murashige and Skoog medium containing different concentrations of thidiazuron and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The highest shoot regeneration rate was a mean of 18 shoots per responding explant from stem callus formed on medium containing 5 μM thidiazuron and 0.05 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. A histological study confirmed that shoots originated directly from callus tissue. Twenty five percent of somaclones exhibited somaclonal variation in leaf shape, plant height, axillary branching or ploidy. The variation in 6% of somaclones was heritable to the first selfed generation. A screening protocol was developed to permit the identification of somaclones with increased resistance to the economically damaging watercress root pathogen, Spongospora subterranea f. sp. nasturtii. Although 883 somaclones were screened using this protocol, no significant increase in disease resistance was detected. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

中国蔊菜属新记录—两栖蔊菜

两栖蔊菜(Rorippa amphbia(L.)Besser)原产欧洲,高加索地区、中亚、北非、北美、新西兰也有报道,但中国未见报道.2006年6月初,在旅顺南路七贤岭路段绿化带附近首次发现该种;2007年5月,在甘井子区一居民小区的草坪上又发现该种.两地相距较远,约12 km,但生境均为人工草坪.该种是以草坪为分布中心,先是占领草坪草的生态位,然后逐步向周围扩大分布区,形成近于单一的两栖蔊菜小群落.该种出现于大连与草坪引种有关.对该种的潜在危害进行了分析,并对其分类学特征进行描述.凭证标本保存在大连自然博物馆(DNHM).     

风花菜根异常次生结构的解剖学观察

利用光镜观察了风花菜（Rorippa islandica (Oed.)Borb.）的根的发育过程中的解剖结构的变化,发现风花菜根具有异常次生结构,第一年早期次生结构中,在导管周围形成额外形成层并由额外形成层向内外分裂形成大量的薄壁组织,从而使根快速增粗,在根的横切面上,导管分散在薄壁组织当中。第一年晚期的次生结构中,由木质部中薄壁组织细胞反分化形成额外形成层,许多分散的额外形成层片段连接形成形成层环,形成层环向内向外分裂形成三生木质部及三生韧皮部,从而构成三生维管组织环,三生维管组织环形成方向由外向内,可以形成多环。第二年风花菜的韧皮部以及皮层中的薄壁组织反分化形成额外形成层,并且由额外形成层片段连接形成额外形成层环,进而分裂形成三生维管组织环,而且在皮层中可以形成多层,形成的方向为由内向外。风花菜根不同发育时期的异常次生结构是与其生理活动相适应的。     

Using nuclear genes to reconstruct angiosperm phylogeny at the species level: A casestudy with Brassicaceae species

Angiosperm phylogeny has been investigated extensively using organellar sequences; recent efforts using nuclear genes have also been successful in reconstructing angiosperm phylogenies at family or deeper levels. However, it is not clear whether nuclear genes are also effective in understanding relationships between species in a genus. Here we present a case study of phylogeny at generic and specific levels with nuclear genes, using Brassicaceae taxa as examples. Brassicaceae includes various crops and the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. A recent study showed that nuclear genes can provide well-resolved relationships between tribes and larger lineages in Brassicaceae, but few species were included in any given genus. We present a phylogeny with multiple species in each of five genera within Brassicaceae for a total of 65 taxa, using three protein-coding nuclear genes, MLH1, SMC2, and MCM5, with up to approximately 10 200 base pairs (in both exons and introns). Maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses of the separate gene regions and combined data reveal high resolution at various phylogenetic depths. The relationships between genera here were largely congruent with previous results, with further resolution at the species level. Also, we report for the first time the affinity of Cardamine rockii with tribe Camelineae instead of other Cardamine members. In addition, we report sequence divergence at three levels: across angiosperms, among Brassicaceae species, and between Arabidopsis ecotypes. Our results provide a robust species-level phylogeny for a number of Brassicaceae members and support an optimistic perspective on the phylogenetic utility of conserved nuclear data for relatively recent clades.     

Reconstructing the spread of invasive plants: taking into account biases associated with herbarium specimens

Aim To reconstruct the spread of invasive wetland species using herbarium specimens and to develop a method that accounts for the biases associated with this type of historical record. Location Southern Québec. Methods The temporal and spatial distribution of herbarium specimens of vascular plants was examined. Six invasive species that are mainly found in wetlands were compared with five native, non‐expanding hydrophytes. The cumulative number of locations was plotted against time to construct invasion curves. For native species, this ‘invasion curve’ indicates the spatiotemporal distribution of the sampling for herbarium specimens of wetland plants. It also represents the history of the state of knowledge of the distribution of native species. Deviation from the native species invasion curve can be used to describe the spread of invasive species. For every year on record, the cumulative number of locations of each exotic species was divided by the cumulative number of locations of all native species, and the proportions obtained were plotted against time. Periods of invasiveness were then delineated. Results During the twentieth century, two periods of intensive herbarium specimen collection in Québec can be clearly distinguished, i.e. from 1930 to 1940 and from 1950 to 1985. Several periods of invasiveness were delineated for Butomus umbellatus L. (1922–35), Hydrocharis morsus‐ranae L. (1957–96), Lycopus europaeus L. (1963–2000), Lythrum salicaria L. (1890–1905, 1923–46), Phragmites australis (Cav.) Trin. ex Steudel (1963–84) and Rorippa amphibia (L.) Bess. (1929–34, 1943–52, 1971–79). Main conclusions Accounting for sampling biases associated with herbarium specimens is important in order to objectively delineate periods of invasiveness for exotic species. The spread of wetland vascular plant species can be reconstructed using herbarium specimens, even when the phenomenon is rapid, but the reconstruction is certainly more accurate when the invasion occurred during an active sampling period. The highly variable sampling effort for herbarium specimens in Québec and in other regions strongly cautions against using herbarium data without correction procedures.     

中国白粉菌属的分类研究Ⅳ.十字花科上的一个新种

本文描述了采自北京香山的细子薄菜 Rorippa cantoniensis(Lour.)Ohwi(十字花科)上的一种新白粉菌 Erysiphe rorippae Chen & Zheng sp.DOV.蔊菜属是白粉菌属的寄主新记录。在附属丝形态上,本新种因附属丝往往在顶部略膨大呈棍棒形而与唇形科上的华阴白粉菌 Erysiphe huayinensis Zheng & Chen 颇为近似,但因子囊壳直径较大,子囊孢子数目较少、体积较大且在两端钝尖而与该种很易区分。与十字花科上的另外两个已知种,即十字花科白粉菌 Erysiphe cruciferarura(Opiz)Junell 和南芥白粉菌 Erysiphe arabidisZheng & Chen 相比则无论在什么方面都没有共同之处。这三个种可检索如下:     

Development of highly conserved primers for 12 new polymorphic microsatellite loci for the genus Rorippa Scop. (Brassicaceae), yellow‐cress

We isolated 12 highly conserved polymorphic microsatellite loci for the yellow‐cress species Rorippa amphibia and Rorippa sylvestris. We used a partial genomic library enriched for several repeat motifs. Obtained sequences containing repetitive elements were blasted and aligned with the Arabidopsis thaliana sequence. We evaluated the cross‐species compatibility of primers designed from sequences either aligning strongly or weakly with A. thaliana. The former proved much more efficient in obtaining primers that worked in both species. The developed conserved primers for microsatellite loci provide excellent markers for studying segregation, gene flow and hybridization in the genus Rorippa.     

印度蔊菜与无瓣蔊菜形态变异特征的比较及分类关系

印度蔊菜(Rorippa indica)与无瓣蔊菜(R. dubia)的分类关系仍存在较大争议, 为阐明二者的分类学关系, 本研究综合利用形态指标测量、DNA相对含量检测、体细胞染色体观察和基于SSR分子标记的遗传距离分析等方法, 系统地比较了二者的分类学特征和细胞遗传学差异。结果表明: 印度蔊菜(2n = 48)为六倍体, 无瓣蔊菜(2n = 32)为四倍体。同时, 前者DNA相对含量约为150, 是后者的1.5倍。通过45对SSR分子标记的遗传距离分析得出, 相对于球果蔊菜(R. globosa)与欧亚蔊菜(R. sylvestris), 二者亲缘关系较近, 独立聚类为一支, 但在遗传距离为0.23处可以明确划分为两个种。同时, 利用角果长度和结籽密度两个形态指标可以将二者明显区分为两个种。另外, 二者存在明显的生殖障碍, 通过正反交授粉实验得出: 印度蔊菜与无瓣蔊菜自花授粉的结实率分别为97.73%和95.65%, 而以印度蔊菜为母本的杂交处理结实率为0, 以无瓣蔊菜为母本的杂交处理结实率为47.06%, 但其种子萌发率为0。综上所述, 印度蔊菜与无瓣蔊菜为两个种。
