辽宁省牛膝菊属(Galinsoga Ruiz. et Pav.)植物的补充研究

牛膝菊（Galinsoga parviflora Cav.）和粗毛牛膝菊（Galinsoga quadriradiata Ruiz. et Pav.）为辽宁省两种重要入侵植物,目前国内文献对这两种植物的形态描述有混淆。根据沈阳农业大学植物标本室收藏的标本并比对采集于沈阳市附近的标本,作者明确这两种牛膝菊属植物的主要区别在于冠毛：前者的舌状花无冠毛或冠毛为细短毛,管状花的冠毛羽筛状,先端钝;后者的舌状花和管状花的冠毛均呈羽筛状,先端尖。该性状差异可为准确鉴别该属杂草提供形态学依据。     

菊属与亚菊属属间杂种的鉴定及其分类学意义

通过有性杂交的方法获得了栽培菊花“奥运火炬”Dendranthema×grandiflorum“Aoyunhuoju”和亚菊属Ajania矶菊A.pacifica的属间杂种。形态学、细胞学以及RAPD分子标记鉴定表明22个杂种为真正的属间杂种,成功地将矶菊的某些性状（叶色）转移到栽培菊花中,但同时也掺入了某些不良性状。杂种的叶色、叶形、花色、开花枝的分枝性和花期等性状均介于双亲之间,边缘舌状雌花大小、数量和形态不一;杂种根尖染色体数目正常（2n=72）,花粉母细胞减数分裂基本正常。矶菊与栽培菊花属间杂交的成功以及杂种减数分裂染色体行为正常表明两者亲缘关系较近,从而推测菊属Dendranthema与亚菊属之间的亲缘关系可能较近。     

REVISED CLASSIFICATION OF THE GENUS PACHYMENIA BASED ON MORPHOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR CHARACTERS

Taxonomic discrimination in the genus Pachymenia (Rhodophyta) in New Zealand is based primarily on phenotypic characters of the thallus. The taxonomic problems raised by this classification method are due to highly variable thallus characters such as blade thickness, blade width, degree of thallus branching, and variation in anatomical characters. Delineation of species is further complicated by a lack of adequate knowledge about the responses of phenotype to environmental variation. There are currently three species recognized in this genus that are endemic to New Zealand: a prostrate species P. crassa , and two erect species, P. laciniata and P. lusoria. In this study, two approaches are used to investigate the current delineation of these species. Morphological and anatomical characters of field collected material and herbarium specimens from throughout the species' distributional ranges were quantified. Multivariate analyses were used to identify discrete phenotypic groups. Species relationships were further analyzed by quantifying the variation found within the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. The results obtained from both approaches will be discussed with regards to possible re-classification of species relationships within this genus. We suggest that the two erect species should be merged, and the currently recognized P. lusoria should be separated into at least two taxonomic groups.     

Early season natural control of the brown planthopper, Nilaparvata lugens: the contribution and interaction of two spider species and a predatory bug

Nilaparvata lugens St?l, the Brown Planthopper (BPH), is a major pest in rice. The lycosid Pardosa pseudoannulata (B?senberg & Strand) and the linyphiid Atypena formosana (Oi) are the early dominant predators in irrigated rice. Later, predatory bugs, including the mirid Cyrtorhinus lividipennis Reuter, become dominant. In unsprayed rice, BPH numbers normally remain low. While P. pseudoannulata is known to be a key natural enemy of BPH, the contribution to BPH reduction by the smaller A. formosana is less well known. Due to the size difference, A. formosana may also be an intraguild prey of P. pseudoannulata. To investigate predation on BPH by the two spider species alone, together and in combination with C. lividipennis, two cage experiments were conducted, the first with adult spiders, the second with immature/unmated spiders. In the latter, spiders were introduced with a delay to allow a better establishment of C. lividipennis. In both experiments, BPH numbers were lowest in treatments with more than one predator species present. Intermediate BPH reduction was obtained with P. pseudoannulata followed by A. formosana and C. lividipennis. While P. pseudoannulata can prey upon large nymphs and adult BPH, A. formosana favour early instar BPH, leading to a more even control across instars in treatments with both spider species. Pardosa pseudoannulata numbers increased more with A. formosana or A. formosana and C. lividipennis present. In contrast, P. pseudoannulata reduced A. formosana and C. lividipennis numbers. The presence of C. lividipennis apparently lessened intraguild predation on A. formosana and may be an intraguild prey of A. formosana. Competition for prey may have added to the antagonistic interactions found. From a biological control perspective, the presence of both spiders in early rice is an advantage for the biological control of BPH in rice. In early rice, results show that A. formosana is an important predator of BPH and, like C. lividipennis, can complement control by P. pseudoannulata and serve as intraguild prey for the latter species.     

Egg-laying tactic in Phyllomorpha laciniata in the presence of parasitoids

Female insects are expected to choose oviposition sites that have the best conditions for offspring development and survival. Natural enemies, such as predators and parasitoids, may have a strong influence on the selection of oviposition substrates by phytophagous insects. The golden egg bug, Phyllomorpha laciniata (Villers) (Heteroptera: Coreidae) has an unusual reproductive strategy. Females mainly use conspecifics, both males and other females, as egg-laying substrates, but occasionally they oviposit on plants as well. Survival of the eggs is higher when eggs are carried by conspecifics than when they are laid on plants, due to predation and parasitism. We investigated egg-laying behavior in the forced presence of the egg parasitoid Gryon bolivari (Giard) (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae). Specifically, we studied whether females provide egg protection by avoiding oviposition under the risk of egg parasitization. We expected a lower oviposition rate under parasitoid presence, and the eggs, if any, to be placed preferably on conspecifics and not on plants, thus ensuring higher survival of the progeny. The results show that P. laciniata 's egg-laying rate was lower when they were enclosed with parasitoids than when parasitoids were absent, especially when plants were the only substrate to oviposit on. Moreover, females showed strong preference for laying eggs on conspecifics rather than on plants. Egg-laying in P. laciniata appears to be not only influenced by the availability of conspecifics, but also by the presence of egg parasitoids. This indicates that females may be able to detect G. bolivari and avoid oviposition when parasitoids are present. We discuss the possibility of conspecifics as enemy-free space.     

黑荆（Acacia mearnsii）对几种林下植物种子萌发的化感作用

研究了入侵植物黑荆（Acacia mearnsii De Willd.）不同地上器官、不同浓度水浸提液对杜虹花（Callicarpa formosana Rolfe.）、紫薇（Lagerstroemia indica Linn.）、白花败酱（Patrinia villosa Juss.）、田麻（Corchoropsis tomentosa(Thunb.) Makino）4种植物种子的化感作用。结果表明黑荆茎、叶和豆荚水浸提液对4种植物的种子萌发均有不同程度的抑制作用。（1）黑荆不同地上器官对杜虹花、白花败酱、田麻的化感作用强度为叶>茎>豆荚,对紫薇的化感效应与浸提液的浓度有关,低浓度时茎>叶>豆荚,高浓度时豆荚>茎>叶。（2）同一器官的水浸提液对各植物化感效应不同,豆荚水浸提液对杜虹花、白花败酱、紫薇的种子萌发表现为较强的抑制作用,而对田麻则影响不显著。（3）高浓度茎水浸提液对种子萌发抑制作用的强度表现为田麻>杜虹花>紫薇>白花败酱。（4）随着浓度的增加,黑荆不同地上器官的水浸提液对杜虹花、白花败酱和田麻种子萌发的影响都呈现抑制作用增强的趋势。（5）黑荆的入侵可能通过化感作用抑制林下植物种子的萌发而对森林物种多样产生负面影响。     

High content of cytosolic glutamine synthetase does not accompany a high activity of the enzyme in rice (Oryza sativa) leaves of indica cultivars

Reproductive stages of 5 japonica, 9 indica, and 2 javanica cultivars of rice ( Oryza sativa L.) were provided to compare the contents of protein for cytosolic glutamine synthetase (GS1; EC 6.3.1.2) in the lowest position of the attached leaf blade (position 6 from the primary leaf) and those for NADH-glutamate synthase (NADH-GOGAT; EC 1.4.1.14) in non-green portion of the expanding 10th leaf blade. Some of the indica cultivars, including Kasalath, contained GS1 protein twice as high as other japonica and javanica cultivars based on total leaf nitrogen. Most of the indica cultivars, on the other hand, contained less NADH-GOGAT protein than japonica and javanica cultivars. Immunostaining proved that GS1 protein was located in vascular tissues of the leaf blades of Kasalath, which was identical to our previous results with a japonica cultivar [Sakurai et al. (1996) Planta 200: 306–311]. Although relative contents of GS1 protein in the leaf blade of Kasalath increased as a function of leaf age, GS1 activity remained relatively constant. In addition, Kasalath showed lower activity than other japonica and javanica cultivars, especially during leaf expansion. GS1 activity, based on GS1 protein amount, changed during the life span of the leaf blade and we thus assume that GS1 activity was modulated post-translationally in rice leaves.

温州裂叶月见草入侵群落和土壤种子库种类组成的季节动态

通过野外调查和萌发实验,研究了浙江温州地区裂叶月见草(Oenothera laciniata)入侵群落和土壤种子库种类组成的季节动态,结果表明:裂叶月见草土壤种子库中共有种子植物46种,种子库各层储昔与物种数量不同,呈现为上层(0～2 cm)>中层(2～5 cm)>下层(5～10 cm),层间差异较明显;裂叶月见草入侵群落地上植被与土壤种子库群落组成相似性系数为0.632,表明该群落裂叶月见草入侵时间不长,处在演替的初期阶段;裂叶月见草种子具有休眠特性,并在萌发的过程中阶段性破除休眠;裂叶月见草的重要值与群落的物种多样性存在着正相关性,但未达显著水平(P>0.05);在每年的11月至次年4月裂叶月见草营养生长期铲除是控制裂叶月见草传播和扩散的有利时机.     

Ant predation and the cost of egg carrying in the golden egg bug: experiments in the field

Golden egg bug ( Phyllomorpha laciniata ) females lay eggs on the backs of both female and male conspecifics. Bugs receive eggs voluntarily and involuntarily, and even when males carry eggs, many eggs are not fertilised by the carrier. Carrying the eggs of another individual is unexpected, particularly if egg carrying bears a cost in survival. We examined the predation risk associated with egg carrying experimentally in the field. P . laciniata individuals were enclosed with workers of one of two ant species, Pheidole pallidula or Cataglyphis piliscapus, which co-occur with the bug in the wild. Pheidole pallidula workers preyed on golden egg bugs and their eggs, but Cataglyphis piliscapus workers did not . In P. pallidula enclosures, golden egg bugs carrying larger egg loads were eaten first. These results suggest that golden egg bugs experience high predation pressure and that egg carrying increases the risk of predation. Due to the direct survival costs associated with egg carrying and the lack of relatedness between the eggs and the carrier, we suggest the golden egg bug as the first known intraspecific parasite in which parasitism is not related to active parental care.     

Piriformospora indica affects plant growth by auxin production

Piriformospora indica has been shown to improve the growth of many plant species including Arabidopsis thaliana , but the mechanism by which this is achieved is still unclear. Arabidopsis root colonization by P. indica was examined in sterile culture on the medium of Murashige and Skoog. P. indica formed intracellular structures in Arabidopsis root epidermal cells and caused changes in root growth, leading to stunted and highly branched root systems. This effect was because of a diffusible factor and could be mimicked by IAA. In addition, P. indica was shown to produce IAA in liquid culture. We suggest that auxin production affecting root growth is responsible for, or at least contributes to, the beneficial effect of P. indica on its host plants.
