五味子科两个种的核型比较研究

本文报道二色五味子和盘柱五味子两种的染色体核型,均为首次报道．结果表明两种的核型公式相同,２ｎ＝２８＝２８ｍ,但根据Ｓｔｅｂｂｉｎｓ的核型不对称性的分类它们之间存在着明显的差异,二色五味子为１Ａ型;盘柱五味子为１Ｂ型。１Ｂ型是首次在被子植物中发现．也许它显示了原始类群中的一种进化特点。另外染色体相对长度组成表明二色五味子２ｎ＝２８＝１２Ｍ２＋１４Ｍ１＋２Ｓ;盘柱五味子２ｎ＝２８＝２Ｌ＋１２Ｍ２＋１２Ｍ１＋２Ｓ．由此南五味子属的核型较二色五味子进化。

凤凰蜘蛛抱蛋(铃兰科)的补充描述及核型

通过野外和标本室观察,发现凤凰蜘蛛抱蛋的原始描述存在一些错误。重新详细描述了该种的花部形态特征,补充了果实形态特征的描述,并首次报道了其染色体数目(2n=38)和核型(2n=22m+6sm+10st)。根据核型特征,认为该种的近缘种应为四川蜘蛛抱蛋和乐山蜘蛛抱蛋,而非黄花蜘蛛抱蛋。     

五味子科比较木材解剖及其系统学意义

在光学显微镜和扫描电镜下观察了南五味子属Kadsura 7种21个样品和五昧子属Schisandra 8种14个样品的木材解剖特征,结果表明次生木质部的导管分子类型、导管一射线间纹孔的排列方式、射线类型、射线细胞形状等性状在科的水平上很稳定,这些共同特征都支持五味子科Schisandraceae是比较自然的类群。在五昧子科中发现木材导管单生、具梯状穿孔板、导管壁具梯形排列的纹孔以及木射线异型等原始性状,支持五味子科在被子植物中的原始地位。此外,该科木材还具有单穿孔板导管、导管次生壁具螺纹加厚、具分隔纤维等较为特化的性状状态,这种性状进化水平的异等级现象,使五味子科表现出不同进化水平性状的镶嵌组合。根据木材解剖性状对五味子科进行UPGMA聚类分析,所得结果显示南五昧子属和五味子属在木材解剖特征方面有一定的交叉和重叠,这与分子系统学的结论一致,表明这两个属关系密切,可能起源于共同的祖先。通过比较五昧子科与八角科Illiciaceae的木材解剖特征,进一步证明两个科的亲缘关系很近,不支持将五味子科从八角目Illiciales中独立出来成立五味子目Schisandrales的观点。     

五味子科几个分类学问题探讨

基于近年来的研究成果,对五味子科的分类地位和系统关系、五味子属和南五味子属之间的关系及其分类系统等问题进行了讨论。五味子科和八角科不仅亲缘关系较近,而且是现存被子植物中最早分化出来的类群,把它们同置于八角目是合理的。五味子科的两个属——五味子属和南五味子属,可能源于同一祖先并沿两条不同演化路线平行演化。目前,关于南五味子属的分类系统的意见比较一致,但对五味子属分类系统的分歧却很大。     

五味子科植物花粉形态及其系统学意义

用光镜和扫描电镜观察了五味子科Schisandraceae23种、6变种和1变型的91份花粉的形态。其中5种、4变种和1变型的花粉形态为首次报道。该科花粉为单花粉,异极,辐射对称,扁球形至超扁球形,其萌发沟的排列格局在被子植物中是独一无二的。若按萌发沟的数目划分,该科花粉可分为3沟型和6沟型两个类型。外壁为网状纹饰,网眼的大小和网脊的宽度与花的形态有一定相关性。研究结果不支持lowski对该科花粉用网眼大小来划分类型的作法,认为对他关于3长沟汇聚的一极即花粉的远极的结论应作进一步探讨;不支持一些学者认为南五味子属Kadsura比五味子属Schisandra原始的观点。根据研究结果可认为,南五味于属的总体演化水平高于五味子属,它们可能是源于共同祖先、沿两条不同的路线平行演化的两个近缘类群。

Ontogeny of Staminate and Carpellate Flowers of Schisandra sphenanthera(Schisandraceae)

The ontogenetic process of the staminate and carpellate flowers of Schisandra sphenanthera Rehd. et Wils., an endemic species to China, was observed for the first time under the scanning electron microscope (SEM). In the staminate flowers, the perianth units and stamens were initiated acropetally in a continuous fasion with 2/5 spiral phyllotaxis, while no female structures were formed. Anthers were differentiated prior to the filaments formation. Throughout all the stages were the stamens arranged spirally on a columniform receptacle. In the carpellate flowers, the initiation sequence of the perianth units and carpels were similar to that of the staminate flowers. In contrast, no male structures were formed. Shortly after initiation, the carpel primordia began their marginal growth besides the apical growth and then appresses were formed on the adaxial surfaces of the primordia. However the lower margins of these appresses were inconspicuous, resulting in conduplicate carpels. Two ovules were developed on the inner surface near either lateral margins of the carpel, shaping laminar placentae. Compared with S. glabra (Brickell) Rehd., a related American species, the evolutionary trend of phyllotaxis of androecia is considered that stamens may change from spiral to approximately whorled arrangement, accompanying with the change of receptacle from a column to a flattened shield. It was also suggested that the stamens being numerous and uncertain in number become certain and decrease in number to 5 (4－7). Sterile stamens are observed and the unisexual nature of the flowers is discussed. Two types of carpel primordia are categorized, corresponding to two types of carpels, namely, ascidiate and conduplicate carpels, respectively.     

五味子属（五味子科）分类系统的初步修订

通过对前人提出的五味子属（五味子科）分类系统的点评,根据五味子属植物的33个形态性状及其性状分析,经过分支分析,提出一个新的五味子属分类系统：将五味子属分为五味子亚属和团蕊五味子亚属;将五味子亚属分为多蕊五味子组、少蕊五味子组、中华五味子组和五味子组。编排了分亚属、组和种的检索表,对每个种上分类等级均列出其模式、异名和代表种。     

五味子属植物种子形态特征及其分类学意义

在扫描电镜下观察了70多份五味子属种子样品,并拍摄了照片,其中34幅展示在文中。选取代表27个分类群,34个居群的36份种子样品,每份样品20粒,测量长、宽、厚,取平均值。采用“相对体积”这一新概念作为种子形态比较的一项指征。同时对种子整体照片所呈现的表面纹饰进行了分析归纳,将其分为4个类型：（1）平滑或基本平滑,（2）有明显的皱纹,或有或疏或密的疣状突起,（3）有密集而显著的乳头状突起,（4）密被不规则的、有结节的绳索状突起,突起物曲折蜿蜒,酷似哺乳动物的大脑。综合种子的大小、颜色、表面整体纹饰以及雄蕊群特征等分析的结果表明,少蕊组sect．Maximowiczia、五味子组sect．Schisandra和球蕊组sect．Sphaerostema的种子形态分别与其雄蕊群特征具有高度的相关性;而多蕊组sect．Pleiostema的情况稍微复杂一点,但种子形态与与其雄蕊群特征之间仍然有部分相关性。本文以种子的整体形态为基础讨论五味子属种子表面形态在该属分类上的意义。研究种子整体形态得到的证据与研究种子表面微形态得到的证据一致,不支持林祁（2000）和Saunders（2000）对五味子属的分类修订,也不支持刘玉壶（1996）将球蕊组sect．Sphaerostema划分成两个亚属的修订。     

A Cytotoxic Neolignan from Schisandra propinqua （Wall.） Baill.

In the course of our study of bioactive natural products from Schisandra plants, we isolated a neolignan from an EtOAc extract of the stems of Schisandra propinqua （Wall.） Baill. The structure of the new com- pound was determined to be 4, 4-di （4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenly）-2, 3-dimethylbutanol （compound 1） on the basis of 1H- and 13C-NMR spectra and 2D NMR methods. Eight known compounds, compounds 2-9, were also isolated and identified, of which compounds 3, 4, 6 and 9 were isolated for the first time from this plant. In addition, compounds 1-4 were evaluated for cytotoxicity by an 3-（4,5-dimethyl-2 thiazoyl）-2,5-diphenyl-2H- tetrazolium bromide （MTT） assay. Compound 1 showed significant potential cytotoxic ability in the bioassay.     

Morphophysiological dormancy in seeds of the ANA grade angiosperm Schisandra arisanensis (Schisandraceae)

We determined the kind of seed dormancy in Schisandra arisanensis, an ANA grade ([A]mborellales [N]ymphaeales [A]ustrobaileyales) angiosperm with medicinal value. Seeds have small underdeveloped embryos, and following seed maturity their length increased approximately 360% before radicle emergence. Germination was delayed 6–8 weeks, and the percentage and rate were much higher at 15/6, 20/10 and 25/15°C than at 30/20°C. For seeds incubated at 5/5°C (8 weeks) → 15/6°C (4 weeks) → 20/10°C (8 weeks) → 25/15°C (12 weeks) → 20/10°C (5 weeks), embryos grew at 15/6°C → 20/10°C, and almost all seeds that germinated (89%) did so at 20/10°C → 25/15°C. When seeds were incubated in a complementary temperature sequence, 25/15°C (12 weeks) → 20/10°C (8 weeks) → 15/6°C (4 weeks) → 5/5°C (9 weeks) → 15/6°C (4 weeks), embryos grew at 25/15°C → 20/10°C. Nearly all seeds that germinated (93%) did so at 25/15°C → 20/10°C and at 15/6°C following 9 weeks at 5/5°C. Based on the temperature requirements for embryo growth and seed germination, seeds of this species have non‐deep simple morphophysiological dormancy (C_1bB).

Deceit pollination and the effect of deforestation on reproduction in dioecious Schisandra sphenanthera (Schisandraceae) in Central-China

The fruits of Schisandra sphenanthera (dioecious) are used to produce ‘Nan-Wuweizi’, an important Chinese medicine. However, long-term exploitation and habitat destruction have threatened these plants in nature. Knowledge of the reproductive biology of S. sphenanthera is essential to help formulate a conservation strategy for these plants. Field studies were conducted at Jigong Mountain (JGM) and Jinji Valley (JJV) in Henan and Hubei Provinces, China. The reproductive biology of S. sphenanthera was analyzed at these sites, including population structure, pollination, floral morphology, and natural fruit set. The 11 populations at two sites were male biased. The primary floral visitors were gall midges (Resseliella sp., Cecidomyiidae; Diptera) and thrips (Thrips flavidulus; Thysanoptera). Floral visitor exclusion experiments and pollen load analysis indicate that gall midges are the primary pollinators. Pollen was the only floral reward for the gall midges. Female flowers attracted pollinators using deceit. The natural fruit set ratio in the cut forest site (JJV) was significantly lower than that at the JGM site, where habitats of S. sphenanthera were well preserved. This indicates that the life cycles of S. sphenanthera and the pollinating insects are vulnerable in disturbed (or cut) habitats.

Pollination of Schisandra henryi (Schisandraceae) by female, pollen-eating Megommata species (Cecidomyiidae, Diptera) in south-central China

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The mutualistic interaction between insects and flowers is considered to be a major factor in the early evolution of flowering plants. The Schisandraceae were, until now, the only family in the ANITA group lacking information on pollination biology in natural ecosystems. Thus, the objective of this research was to document the pollination biology and breeding system of Schisandra henryi. METHODS: Field observations were conducted in three populations of S. henryi and the floral phenology, floral characters and insect activities were recorded. Floral fragrances were sampled in the field and analysed using TCT-GC-MS. Floral thermogenesis was measured with a TR-71U Thermo Recorder. Pollen loads and location of pollen grains on insect bodies (including the gut) were checked with a scanning electron microscope and under a light microscope. KEY RESULTS: Schisandra henryi is strictly dioecious. Male flowers are similar to female flowers in colour, shape, and size, but more abundant than female flowers. The distance between tepals and the androecium or gynoecium is narrow. Neither male nor female flowers are fragrant or thermogenic. Schisandra henryi is pollinated only by adult female Megommata sp. (Cecidomyiidae, Diptera) that eat the pollen grains as extra nutrition for ovary maturation and ovipositing. Both male and female flowers attract the pollinators using similar visual cues and thus the female flowers use deceit as they offer no food. CONCLUSIONS: Schisandra henryi exhibits a specialized pollination system, which differs from the generalized pollination system documented in other ANITA members. Pollen is the sole food resource for Megommata sp. and the female flowers of S. henryi attract pollinators by deceit. This is the first report of predacious gall midges utilizing pollen grains as a food source. The lack of floral thermogenesis and floral odours further enforces the visual cues by reducing attractants for other potential pollinators.
