AbstractThe widespread occurrence of a number of bryophytes on British saltmarshes is reported. The communities in which bryophytes are most frequently found are discussed. These communities are more common on marshes on the west coast of Britain. Differences between moss assemblages on salt marshes in England and Wales and in Scotland are emphasised and the greater range of habitat preference demonstrated by Grimmia maritima in Scotland is commented upon. 相似文献

A comparison of Dichodontium flavescens (Dicks.) Lindb. and D. pellucidum (Hedw.) Lindb. (Bryopsida)
《Journal of bryology》2013,35(3):215-221
AbstractFifty-three herbarium samples of the genus Dichodontium, originating from 15 countries in Europe and North America, were examined to critically assess new distinguishing characters between D. flavescens and D. pellucidum. The examination, including SEM, revealed some new characteristics in the gametophyte, notably leaf shape, leaf length: width ratio, and width of the nerve, permitting accurate determinations even on sterile material. D. flavescens is recognized here as a distinct species. 相似文献

AbstractLamella margins of Polytriehadelphus from throughout the range of the genus have been examined by SEM. All specimens clearly referable on other characters to the genus have characteristically crenate lamella margins covered with angular flakes of epicuticular wax. In this respect they resemble species of Dawsonia but differ from all other Polytrichaceae examined. The lamella margin characters are useful for critical identification of non-fruiting plants of Polytriehadelphus from other vegetatively similar Polytrichaceae. They confirm that P. erieoides and the North American P. lyallii Mitt. do not belong to this genus. Polytriehadelphus has a trans-Pacific and essentially Southern Hemisphere distribution extending from Sulawesi and New Guinea through New Zealand and the Fuegian region to the northern Andes, with a north-western outpost in Costa Rica. It is likely that this distribution is derived from a continuous Antarctic range in the late Cretaceous, and that much of the radiation of the genus at the two northern ends of its present range took place in the mid to late Tertiary. Outlying stations on Tristan da Cunha and the Marquesas probably result from long-distance dispersal. 相似文献

Allozymic variation in seven enzymes coded by eight loci was studied in seven populations of terrestrial Epipactis orchids, including four populations of E. helleborine, one population of E. palustris and two of E. microphylla, from Latium (Central Italy).Heterozygosity estimates reveal that E. helleborine (EH) is the most variable species (HET=0.233; P=0.59; A=1.8), followed by E. palustris (EP) (HET=0.085; P=0.29; A=1.3) while E. microphylla (EM) is monomorphic for all the loci examined.It is suggested that the two EM populations examined, with a total lack of genetic variability, could originate from the same genetically impoverished ancestral population. Also the low variability amount of EP can be ascribed to genetic drift, probably due to a founder event.Nei's identity coefficients were also calculated. These show a high similarity in EH (=0.987) and EM (=1.000) populations. Average identity value between EP and EM is 0.289, between EP and EH is 0.336 and between EM and EH is 0.784. These data reveal that E. palustris presents a remarkable genetic, besides geographical and ecological, differentiation. 相似文献

Abstract The anthers are tetrasporangiate. The anther wall comprises epidermis, fibrous endothecium, middle layer and tapetal layer. The tapetum is of the Glandular type and its cells remain uninucleate. Meiosis in pollen mother cells is normal and simultaneous cytokinesis leads to the formation of tetrahedral and decussate microspore tetrads. The pollen grains are shed at 2-celled stage. The ovule is campylotropous, bitegmic and crassinucellate. Meiosis in megaspore mother cell results in the formation of linear or occasionally T-shaped megaspore tetrad. The chalazal megaspore develops into Monosporic Polygonum type of embryo sac. Endosperm development is of the Nuclear type. 相似文献

To introduce useful characteristics such as fragrance into Argyranthemum frutescens (L.) and to expand the variation, we conducted crosses using A. frutescens as the seed parent and Chamaemelum nobile (L.) All. as the pollen parent. All the tested cross combinations between the three strains of A. frutescens and one strain of C. nobile produced embryos, and healthy plants were obtained by ovule culture. The obtained plantlets had a white ray floret, and the leaf shape was intermediate to those of the parents. The individuals obtained from this cross were subjected to two methods to determine hybridity: flow cytometry analyses and cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence (CAPS) markers. For the CAPS marker, we selected the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, which is highly variable among the genera, as the region to be amplified. We selected restriction enzymes BmgT120 I and Afl II, which selectively cut common sequences in the genus Argyranthemum, based on the sequence analysis of one parent strain each of A. frutescens and C. nobile and alignment with known sequences of related species. Flow cytometry analyses and CAPS markers revealed that the individuals obtained from the cross between A. frutescens and C. nobile are intergeneric hybrids. In addition, these established methods were capable of quickly and reliably identifying hybrids between A. frutescens and C. nobile. This report shows for the first time that crossbreeding between A. frutescens (seed parent) and C. nobile (pollen parent) is possible, and further development of Argyranthemum breeding, such as the expansion of variation by intergeneric crosses, is expected. 相似文献

The pollen development and androgenic ability of 18 kale (Brassica oleracea convar.acephala) genotypes was observed during an anther culture study. Anther culture was successful in 6 of the genotypes and the highest
yield obtained was 17 embryos per 100 anthers plated. Two stages of anther development were identified as being responsive
to anther culture. The first and most responsive was that corresponding to the late uninucleated stage and the second to the
late binucleated stage. These stages correspond with the onset of mitotic events in the microspores. Pollen viability was
studied and low viability was noted which declined to zero after 9 days of anther culture. The initial viability level however
was not clearly related to androgenic ability. The significance of the production of haploid and dihaploid kale genotypes
in the study and breeding of resistance to clubroot is discussed. 相似文献

Summary Allozyme variation was examined in 22 populations of Pinus densiflora (Sieb, et Zucc.) and four geographic varieties of P. sylvestris (L.): var lapponica (Fries, Hartman), var armena (Komarov), var mongolica (Litvinov) and var sylvestriformis (Takenouchi). In addition, we developed paternal chloroplast (cp) DNA markers that distinguish P. densiflora from var lapponica, var armena and var mongolica. UPGMA cluster analysis based on Nei's distances between all pairwise combinations of the 22 populations revealed patterns corresponding strictly to geographic origin and taxonomic status. Analysis of allozyme variation in var lapponica, var armena and var mongolica demonstrated a high level of intrapopulational variability but a low level of interpopulational differentiation. It appears that the late Pleistocene blending of genetically diverse populations was responsible for the observed variation patterns. The constructed phylogenetic trees also showed late divergence of these three varieties. The var sylvestri formis was genetically distinct from the other three P. sylvestris varieties. The genetic distances separating var sylvestriformis from P. densiflora and the other taxa lend support to a separate taxonomic status for var sylvestriformis and a close relation with P. densiflora. We found that var sylvestriformis harbors admixtures of allozymes and cpDNA from both P. sylvestris and P. densiflora, which suggests an introgressive nature of this variety. Levels of intrapopulational variability were similar in P. sylvestris and P. densiflora, but interpopulational differentiation was much higher in P. densiflora. In the constructed phylogenetic trees, populations of this species were characterized by relatively long internode distances and branch lengths. The present results suggest that P. densiflora has a more advanced evolutionary age than P. sylvestris. 相似文献

A comparative chromosomal evaluation was carried out between Vigna unguiculata (cowpea) and V. radiata (mung bean) with chromomycin A3 (CMA3)/4’,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) banding and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) using 5S/45S ribosomal DNA (rDNA)
probes. Both species had symmetric karyotypes (2n = 22), with prevalence of centromeres in chromosomes at median (m) and submedian (sm) regions and chromosomes ranging in
size from 2.1 to 1.25 μm (V. unguiculata) and 2.18 to 0.93 μm (V. radiata). Three different banding patterns were identified for V. unguiculata: CMA3+/DAPI0, CMA3++/DAPI–, and CMA3+/DAPI–. The CMA3+/DAPI0 bands were observed in the pericentromeric regions of all chromosomes, while the CMA3++/DAPI– and CMA3+/DAPI– bands were co-localized with the 45S rDNA in the subtelomeric position (chromosomes B, G, and D, J, respectively) and in
the proximal position in chromosome F. Two pairs of chromosomes (D and I) bearing interstitial 5S rDNA have been also identified.
Vigna radiata displayed CMA30/DAPI+ bands distributed in the centromeric region of chromosomes B, C, and F, while CMA3++/DAPI– bands were co-localized with the 45S rDNA sites in the subtelomeric position of the short arm in the F and K chromosome pairs.
Three pairs of 5S rDNA sites were identified, the first in the proximal region of the long arm in chromosome E and the two
others in the proximal and subterminal positions in the long arm of chromosome J. These data highlight some divergences regarding
the amount and composition of the heterochromatin in both species, allowing the identification of individual chromosomes in
V. unguiculata and V. radiata, and a comparison with other members of the Phaseoloid clade. 相似文献

Nitrogenase activity in mangrove forests at two locations in the North Island, New Zealand, was measured by acetylene reduction and 15N2 uptake. Nitrogenase activity (C2H2 reduction) in surface sediments 0 to 10 mm deep was highly correlated (r = 0.91, n = 17) with the dry weight of decomposing particulate organic matter in the sediment and was independent of light. The activity was not correlated with the dry weight of roots in the top 10 mm of sediment (r = −0.01, n = 13). Seasonal and sample variation in acetylene reduction rates ranged from 0.4 to 50.0 μmol of C2H4 m−2 h−1 under air, and acetylene reduction was depressed in anaerobic atmospheres. Nitrogen fixation rates of decomposing leaves from the surface measured by 15N2 uptake ranged from 5.1 to 7.8 nmol of N2 g (dry weight)−1 h−1, and the mean molar ratio of acetylene reduced to nitrogen fixed was 4.5:1. Anaerobic conditions depressed the nitrogenase activity in decomposing leaves, which was independent of light. Nitrogenase activity was also found to be associated with pneumatophores. This activity was light dependent and was probably attributable to one or more species of Calothrix present as an epiphyte. Rates of activity were generally between 100 and 500 nmol of C2H4 pneumatophore−1 h−1 in summer, but values up to 1,500 nmol of C2H4 pneumatophore−1 h−1 were obtained. 相似文献

Cells of Glycine max originating in a suspension culture and cells of Brassica napus prepared from hypocotyls were synchronized. Synchronization was achieved by preparing protoplasts in the usual way and subsequently letting the protoplasts regenerate into cells by removing the cell-wall-digesting enzymes. More than 70% of the cells had divided synchronously at the end of the first cycle as determined by the mitotic index. The high frequency of mitosis critically depended on the osmolality of the medium. The duration of the S-phase was estimated by measuring the activity of thymidylate kinase as well as incorporation of [3H]deoxythymidine into acid-insoluble material. The data indicate that synchronization is induced by resetting the cell cycle.Abbreviations dTMP

A new iridoid, 5β,6β-dihydroxyantirrhide (1) was isolated from the dried leaves of Pseuderanthemum carruthersii (Seem.) Guill. var. atropurpureum (Bull.) Fosb. (Acanthaceae), together with 13 known compounds, including two iridoids, linarioside and antirrhinoside; five phenylethanoids, echipuroside A, verbascoside, isoverbascoside, isomartynoside and osmanthuside B; and six flavonoids, luteolin 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside, luteolin 7-O-rutinoside, apigenin 7-O-rutinoside, apigenin 6-C-α-l-arabinopyranosyl–8-C-β-l-arabinopyranoside, apigenin 6,8-di-C-α-l-arabinopyranoside and apigenin 6-C-β-d-xylopyranosyl–8-C-α-l-arabinopyranoside. Their chemical structures were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR as well as HR-ESI-MS spectroscopic analysis. Some purified compounds were evaluated the acetylcholinesterase inhibition and cytotoxic activities against the HeLa cervical cancer cell line and the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line at the concentration of 100 μg/mL. Luteolin 7-O-β-d-glucopyranoside exhibited cytotoxic activities against both the HeLa cervical cancer cell line and the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. Verbascoside and isoverbascoside showed strong cytotoxic activity against the MCF-7 breast cancer cell line. The tested compounds showed the AChE inhibitory activity fairly weak. 相似文献

Summary On Dartmoor, UK the temperate halictine beeLasioglossum (Evylaeus) fratellum is solitary and univoltine. A significant proportion of individually marked foundresses reproduce during two different seasons (iteroparity). This could represent a form of risk-spreading in environments where conditions are harsh and unpredictable. Perhaps associated with iteroparity, foundresses put in relatively low reproductive effort, often failing to provision their nests on suitable days, despite the small number of days available on Dartmoor. Foundresses stopped provisioning asynchronously, then remained in their nests until well after offspring emergence. There was a small proportion of digynous nests, in which nest-sharing appeared to be temporary.L. (E.) calceatum had a similar life-cycle on Dartmoor.L. villosulum was also solitary, and was able to provision its nests under less favourable weather conditions than the other two species. Information is also provided on nest productivity andSphecodes parasites. 相似文献

Carbohydrate requirements for the development of black spruce (Picea mariana (Mill.) B.S.P.) and red spruce (P. rubens Sarg.) somatic embryos 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Different carbohydrates were investigated for somatic embryo development of black spruce and red spruce. They were tested in a basal maturation medium consisting of Litvay's salts at half-strength containing 1 g l-1 glutamine, 1 g l-1 casein hydrolysate, 7.5 M abscisic acid, and 0.9% Difco Bacto-agar. A comparison of different sucrose concentrations showed that 6% was optimal for embryo development. Among the nine carbohydrates tested, sucrose, fructose, glucose, maltose, and cellobiose supported embryo development while arabinose, mannitol, myo-inositol, and sorbitol did not. A comparison of sucrose, glucose, and fructose at three concentrations showed that the general pattern of response for both species followed concentration expressed as a percentage, independent of the molarity of carbohydrate in the medium. Interspecific differences were observed concerning carbohydrate requirements. For red spruce, 6% fructose was found best for embryo development, while no such preference was observed for black spruce. No significant difference was observed in the number of embryos produced with 6% sucrose or 3% sucrose plus an equimolar concentration of either mannitol, sorbitol, or myo-inositol in the maturation medium, suggesting that the effect of the carbohydrate on the maturation was partly osmotic. 相似文献
