Jasmonic acid promotes division of fern protoplasts, elongation of rhizoids and early development of gametophytes

The effects of jasmonic acid (JA) on spore germination, early gametophyte development and sporophytic protoplast culture of the fern Platycerium bifurcalum (Cav.) C. Chr. were investigated. JA and no influence on spore germination and primary rhizoid initiation, but significantly promoted early gametophyte development, which was evident from the longer primary rhizoids as well as the higher number of rhizoids and cells per gametophyte. Jasmonic acid (1 μ M ) also promoted the transition of gametophytes from a filamentous to a planar growth. Optimal primary rhizoid elongation and highest cell division activities in the gametophytes were observed at 0.01–1 μ M JA, while the highest number of rhizoids on gametophytes was obtained at 0.1–1 μ M JA. Jasmonic acid (0.01 μ M ) also stimulated initial protoplast divisions. Except for the experiment in which the effect of JA on germination was tested. JA concentrations exceeding 1 μ M did not promote cell elongation or cell division but were instead inhibitory. On the basis of these findings, we propose that JA may be involved in early stages of P. bifurcatum development.

Effects of leachates of the invasive plant, Ageratina adenophora (Sprengel) on soil microbial community

The invasive plant Ageratina adenophora (Sprengel) changed soil microbial communities in the invaded area to facilitate its growth and inhibit native plants. However, little is known about the driving forces underlying the alteration of soil biota. Leachates from root and aerial part (stem and leaves) of A. adenophora were mixed into soil to imitate field invasion processes for evaluation of its impact on invasion of soil microbial community. The results indicated that soil microbial community was significantly changed when the soil taken from the newly-invaded area was treated with A. adenophora root and aerial part leachates for 3 and 5 weeks, respectively. The biota of newly invaded soil treated with concentration of 100 mg/mL A.adenophora leachates was much closer to that of heavily invaded soil, but was significantly different from that of control soil (newly invaded soil without treatment). A.adenophora leachates promoted growth of the seven dominant rhizosphere bacterial species in the invaded soil. The effect of A.adenophora leachates on soil biota and dominant rhizosphere bacteria was positively correlated with the concentration of leachates, however, the effect of root leachates was stronger than the aerial part leachates. It is assumed that A.adenophora change soil microbial community via nutritional and chemical communication, which helps it in better colonization of the invaded soil.     

垂蒴真藓原丝体发育特征的研究

在室内培养垂蒴真藓(Bryum uliginosum)孢子的基础上,对其孢子萌发、原丝体发育及配子体发生的全过程进行了跟踪观察。结果表明：该种孢子萌发后直接产生绿丝体。而轴丝体和假根仅在绿丝体上产生;配子体原始细胞产生于绿丝体基部细胞或轴丝体上。由此可以看出：垂蒴真藓属于真藓型孢子萌发型(Bryum-type)。

Effects of Exogenous Phytohormones on Spore Germination and Morphogenesis of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Polystichum aculeatum</Emphasis> (L.) Roth Gametophyte in vitro Culture

The effects of exogenous phytohormones–gibberellic acid (GA3) and benzyl-aminopurine (BAP)–on the spore germination and morphogenesis of Polystichum aculeatum (L.) Roth gametophyte in vitro culture were studied. In the control, four stages of gametophyte morphogenesis were determined and their periods were established. Spore germination and protonema formation of P. aculeatum occurred according to the Vittaria-type and prothalium development according to the Aspidium-type. The spore germination percentage depended on the storage time duration. It was found that 80–95% of freshly collected spores germinated. Spore viability was within the range of 68–95% after 4–6-month storage under lab conditions and did not exceed 20% after 1.5 year of the storage period. High concentrations of exogenous GA3 (10^–5 and 10^–6 M) and BAP (10–5 M) significantly inhibited spore germination, whereas low concentrations (GA3 10^–7–10^–8 M) had an insignificant stimulating effect or did not affect germination at all (BAP 10^–6, 10^–7, 10^–8 M). All concentrations of exogenous BAP were demonstrated to inhibit the development of P. aculeatum gametophyte at the protonema stage, which might be due to the removal of apical dominance. The inhibiting effect directly depended on BAP concentrations. The formation of abnormal thalli of the P. aculeatum gametophyte in the response to exogenous GA3 treatments occurred as a result of impairment of cell growth by elongation. A direct interrelationship between GA3 concentrations and level of morphological abnormalities and grade of thalli underdevelopment was demonstrated.

Allelopathic effects and root distribution of Ceratiola ericoides (Empetraceae) on seven rosemary scrub species

We studied the root distribution and the effects of leachates from the dominant shrub in rosemary scrub, Florida rosemary (Ceratiola ericoides), on germination of seven subordinate rosemary scrub species. For rosemary scrub specialists, (Eryngium cuneifolium and Hypericum cumulicola), germination was suppressed by the leaf and litter leachates. For species that are not found exclusively in rosemary scrub (Liatris ohlingerae, Polygonella basiramia, Paronychia chartacea, and Palofoxia feayi) litter and leaf leachate did not suppress germination significantly. Species limited to gaps in rosemary scrub (E. cuneifolium, H. cumulicola, and Lechea deckertii) showed reduced germination from rosemary leachates while species not limited to rosemary-free gaps (L. ohlingerae and P. feayi) were not affected by rosemary leachates. Rosemary root abundance was greatest near shrubs, at a shallow depth, and at sites not recently burned. As rosemary scrub patches age, rosemary roots are more likely to interact with herbaceous species in gaps.
