羽叶薰衣草表皮毛的发育解剖学研究

对羽叶薰衣草(LavandulapinnataL.)茎和叶上两种表皮毛(腺毛和非腺毛)发育的解剖学观察表明,两者的发生都源于茎或叶的原表皮细胞,但外部形态、发育过程及功能明显不同。腺毛有头状腺毛和盾状腺毛两种类型,均由1个基细胞、1个柄细胞和头部细胞构成。头状腺毛的头部只有1个或2个分泌细胞,盾状腺毛由8个分泌细胞构成头部。非腺毛由3-20个细胞组成,可分为三种类型:单列不分枝、二叉分枝和三叉及三叉以上多分枝的树状分枝。非腺毛的顶部细胞由基部到顶部逐渐变细,先端成尖形。腺毛发育由原表皮细胞经两次平周分裂形成,由于柄细胞和头部细胞所处的分化状态不同而发育成两类腺毛。非腺毛由非腺毛原始细胞经二次或多次平周分裂和不均等分裂,再发育成数个至二十多个子细胞。

组织透明法观察葡萄叶片生长过程中气孔与叶脉形态结构特征变化

本文以‘摩尔多瓦’葡萄叶片为试验材料,采用组织透明法观察了葡萄叶片生长过程中叶片表皮细胞、气孔和叶脉形态结构的变化,测定与气孔和叶脉功能相关的生理指标变化,比较了组织透明法、指甲油法和撕取法在观察葡萄叶片气孔上的实验效果。结果表明:组织透明法能够清晰观察到葡萄叶片生长过程中叶片表皮细胞、气孔和叶脉形态结构的变化。相对于指甲油法、撕取法,组织透明法操作简单,且能保持组织完整性,提升观察叶片细胞结构的实验效果。从叶片生长过程中气孔形态结构变化规律来看,葡萄嫩叶齿尖存在大量的大气孔,而叶片中部只观察到中央大气孔和正在发育的气孔保卫细胞母细胞。随着叶片生长,叶片气孔保卫细胞母细胞逐渐发育形成成熟气孔,叶片末端叶脉也是随叶片生长而生长,叶脉密度逐渐增加,提高了树体往叶片供水的效率。从与气孔和叶脉功能相关的各项生理指标变化来看,气孔导度随着气孔逐渐形成和成熟而逐渐升高,但叶片含水量和水势下降,有利于拉升水分和养分从根系往地上树体各器官运输,满足整个植株生长发育的需要。

DEVELOPMENT OF THE EPIPHYLLOUS INFLORESCENCE OF HELWINGIA JAPONICA (HELWINGIACEAE)

The inflorescence of Helwingia japonica (Thunb.) Dietr. is initiated adjacent to the leaf axil on the adaxial side of the base of a leaf primordium during its second plastochron. The inflorescence which develops from the resulting primordium comes to be situated on the midrib of the mature fertile leaf, through the action of a basal, intercalary meristem. In fertile leaves this meristem develops beneath, as well as above, the insertion of the inflorescence primordium on the leaf primordium. The same meristem is present in sterile leaves as well. A separate, adaxial vascular bundle departs from the leaf trace in the base of the petiole and leads to the inflorescence, in the mature fertile leaf. This adaxial vascular bundle is absent in sterile leaves. It is argued that the vascular anatomy does not conclusively confirm the hypothesis that the epiphyllous inflorescence is the congenital fusion product of a leaf and an axillary inflorescence. Instead, it is suggested that the interplay of changes in the position of primordium initiation, and intercalary growth, offers an ontogenetic explanation of the situation, which in turn may be related to the phylogeny of the species in question. It appears to be misguided and futile to look for homologies (i.e., 1:1 correspondences) between fertile and sterile leaves, since 1:1 correspondences do not exist in this case.     

Anatomical characterization of Strobilanthes (Acanthaceae) species from the northern Western Ghats of India and its implication for identification at vegetative state

A comprehensive study of stem, leaf and petiole anatomy of 10 species of Strobilanthes from northern Western Ghats of India was carried out to identify characteristics which would enable species identification when flowering material is unavailable. In Strobilanthes, some species bloom annually, others are plietesials, i.e. they grow without blooming for several years and then produce huge quantities of flowers, release seeds and die. Therefore, alternative methods, such as anatomical characters, are essential to distinguish Strobilanthes species in their vegetative stage. We collected ten species of Strobilanthes for anatomical characterization. Under the bright‐field microscope, stem cross‐sections of different species were found to be undulate, quadrangular, quadrangular‐winged or terete. Study of the stem revealed a distinct outer and inner cortex, the distribution of cystoliths (CaCO₃ crystals), raphides (CaC₂H₂O₅ crystals) and sclereids which varied from species to species. Study of leaf anatomy showed structural variation and vascular bundle shapes that differed between the species. Leaf epidermal characters under light and scanning electron microscopy exhibited variation in characters such as stomatal index, stomatal length and width, stomatal type and presence of glandular and non‐glandular trichomes. The petiole anatomy was species‐specific, especially with respect to vascular bundle structure and the distribution of structures such as sclereids, cystoliths, sphaeraphides and tannin cells varied. Hence, unique anatomical features of the stem, leaf and petiole could be used as taxonomic characters to identify Strobilanthes species in a vegetative state.     

泽漆营养器官发育解剖学研究

采用石蜡切片法、半薄切片法对泽漆营养器官的发育过程进行了观察,同时对3种器官中乳汁管的分布和大小进行了分析。结果表明:泽漆根的发育类似于草本双子叶植物根的一般发育规律。初生木质部为三原型。茎的初生结构由表皮、皮层、维管束环和髓构成,其髓中有空腔,而茎的次生生长过程中维管形成层的活动短暂,仅产生少量次生维管组织,不形成周皮。叶的发育包括原分生组织、初生分生组织和成熟结构3个阶段,属于异面叶结构。泽漆乳汁管主要分布在维管束韧皮部的外侧。在3种器官中,乳汁管直径差异较大,依次为根>茎>叶。     

Expression pattern of cell cycle genes suggests the developmental arrangement of vascular cells in sugarcane strand

Unlike the ordered multiplication of vascular cells deriving from a row of initials in dicotyledons, vascular growth in monocotyledonous vascular strands does not show the procambial pattern but leads to a complex organization of the vascular bundle. Establishment of the bundle should have a specific developmental pattern. The cell cycle conferring cell proliferation represents a active state of growth and development of tissues. Here, we cloned an A-type CDK gene (Sacof;CDKA;1) from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum cv. ROC16) and confirmed that its encoding protein interacted physically with two sugarcane CYCD4s (Sacof;CYCD4;1 and Sacof;CYCD4;2), which shared only 47% amino acid sequence similarity. The three genes were expressed concurrently in meristems of root tip, stem tip, and young leaf but not in mature leaves. More importantly, they were predominantly expressed in vascular strands of stem tips and young leaves. In stem-tip strands, the expression region extends deep basipetally to where the sieve tube increases in number in the metaphloem and the vessels are produced in the metaxylem showing a pattern of cell division occurring among differentiating or differentiated cells. This pattern suggests a positional determination of vascular cell arrangement in strands during vascular development.     

Distribution patterns of assimilated 14C in vegetative and reproductive shoots of Lolium perenne and L. temulentum

The movement of ¹⁴C-labelled assimilate to the terminal meristem, stem, mature leaves, tillers and roots was measured in Loliurn perenn and Lolium temulentum after exposure to ¹⁴C0₂ of the youngest fully-expanded leaf and, on fewer occasions, the oldest healthy leaf on the main shoot. During early vegetative growth, the terminal meristem, tillers and roots received most of the ¹⁴C exported from the youngest leaf. As the shoot aged, more ¹⁴C was exported to the terminal meristem and tillers and less to roots. When the stem became a sizeable sink for ¹⁴C at the six-leaf (L. temulentum) or eleven-leaf (L. perenne) stage, less ¹⁴C moved to tillers and much less to roots. The terminal meristem continued to receive ¹⁴ at a steady rate throughout late vegetative growth. The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth in both species was marked by an abrupt increase in the export of ¹⁴C to stem from the upper leaf, but there was little change in the proportion of ¹⁴C which moved to the developing leaves and incipient inflorescence at the terminal meristem. At the same time, less ¹⁴C moved to tillers and much less to roots. Immediately before ear emergence, the export of ¹⁴C from the upper leaf (flag leaf) to the stem declined and the proportion moving to the ear increased, reaching a maximum of 55–75% as the ear emerged. The relative patterns of export of upper and lower leaves showed that while some ¹⁴ moved from each leaf to all meristems, the proximity of actively growing meristems appeared to be the main factor which determined the destination of most exported ¹⁴C. The distribution of ¹⁴C from upper and lower leaves was most alike in young vegetative plants of L. perenne. At later stages of development of both species, the terminal meristem and stem received most 14¹⁴C from the upper leaf, while roots and tillers received mos 14¹⁴C from the oldest leaf at the base of the shoot.     

Artichoke Leaf Morphology and Surface Features in Different Micropropagation Stages

Artichoke (Cynara scolymus L.) leaf size and shape, glandular and covering trichomes, stomatal density, stomata shape, pore area and epicuticular waxes during micropropagation stages were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and morphometric analysis with the aim to improve the survival rate after transfer to greenhouse conditions. Leaves from in vitro shoots at the proliferation stage showed a spatular shape, ring-shaped stomata, a large number of glandular trichomes and juvenile covering hairs, but failed to show any epicuticular waxes. Leaves from in vitro plants at the root elongation stage showed a lanceolated elliptic shape with a serrated border, elliptical stomata, decreased pore area percentage, stomatal density, and mature covering trichomes. One week after transfer to ex vitro conditions, epicuticular waxes appeared on the leaf surface and stomata and pore area were smaller as compared to in vitro plants. Artichoke acclimatization may be improved by hormonal stimulation of root development, since useful morphological changes on leaves occurred during root elongation.

半夏珠芽发育过程的形态学和解剖学研究

通过形态学观察和石蜡切片方法研究了半夏[Pinellia ternata(Thunb.)Breit.]的珠芽发育过程,结果显示:半夏珠芽着生于叶柄的下部,起始于幼嫩叶柄的腹面最外轮维管束外周薄壁细胞;恢复分裂的薄壁细胞分裂形成珠芽原基细胞团,在原基生长突破叶柄表皮后分化形成具有生长点的珠芽结构,发育中的珠芽无根分化;珠芽的生长被动地终止于叶片衰老(倒苗),无明显的成熟发育过程。研究表明,半夏的珠芽是不定芽性质的无性繁殖结构,但在发育过程上明显区别于其它植物的珠芽发育。     

枫香变红过程中叶片组织结构、光合特性及色素含量变化研究

枫香(Liquidambar formosana)因其叶片入秋后逐渐变红而极具观赏价值,是优良的景观生态树种。为了解枫香叶片结构变化与叶色的关系,该文通过连续监测枫香叶片变红过程中组织结构、光合特性及色素含量的变化,分析叶片结构与其光合特性和色素的关系。结果表明：(1)叶片变色过程中,表皮细胞均为椭圆形,紧密排列,未观察到明显的细胞变异,表面未附着绒毛和蜡质,且上表皮细胞与栅栏组织细胞间排列紧密,未出现较大的气室。(2)随着叶片逐渐变红,叶片结构变化显著,其中叶片、上表皮、栅栏组织和海绵组织厚度及气孔开度均逐渐减小,而气孔器长和宽、单个气孔器面积则逐渐增大。(3)随着叶片结构的变化,其叶绿素含量逐渐减少,致使净光合速率逐渐减小,在出现光破坏时,叶片通过在栅栏组织细胞液泡内合成花色苷来自我保护,而大量的花色苷致使叶片表面呈现红色。综上认为,叶绿素含量降低,花色素苷大量积累是导致枫香叶片变红的直接原因,而枫香叶色变红则是其一系列生理结构特征综合作用的结果。
