国产假木贼属植物微形态特征及其生态意义

利用体视显微镜对国产假木贼属8种植物的微形态特征进行了观察.结果表明:该属植物的形态可分为两大类:(1)无瘤状茎基,如:高枝假木贼(Anabasis elatior)、短叶假木贼(A.brevifolia)、无叶假木贼(A.aphylla)和盐生假木贼(A.salsa);(2)具瘤状茎基,如:粗糙假木贼(A.pelliotii)、白垩假木贼(A.cretacea)、展枝假木贼(A.truncata)和毛足假木贼(A.eriopoda);再通过叶形态的变化规律,如弧状弯曲,鳞片状或三角钻形等来甄别种的属性.实验证明:假木贼属植物叶的微形态特征具有高度的种间专属性和稳定的遗传性,可以作为假木贼属种分类的重要依据,该类植物由于长期生存在干旱环境下,形成了一系列抵御干旱逆境的典型的超旱生的形态特征,在根、茎和叶3个方面均得以充分体现.因此,研究其形态学和生态学的进化机制,对当前植物抗逆育种、生态环境恢复等都具有重要意义.

Micromorphology of Anabasis from China with Reference to Their Ecological Significance

In this study,the micromorphology structural characters of 8 species of Anabasis L.from China were observed using a stereomicroscope.The results show that the species can be divided into two groups in terms of their morphology:(1)No tuberculate caudex,such as:A.elatior,A.brevifolia,A.aphylla and A.salsa;(2)Tuberculate caudex,such as:A.pelliotii,A.cretacea,A.truncata and A.eriopoda,by dint of changes of leaf shape,such as arcuate recurved,scale-like or triangular-acicular,to identify the attributes of specie...
