粉条儿菜属(肺筋草科)的地理分布及其物种多样性和分化中心

粉条儿菜属(AletrisL.)隶属于肺筋草科,全世界有23种1变种,东亚有18种1变种,北美东南部有5种,为典型的东亚-北美间断分布的属.本文在种(变种)的水平上,研究了粉条儿菜属的地理分布及其分布中心和多样化中心,并对其起源和分化以及现代洲际间断分布格局的成因进行了分析.结果表明,(1)中国共分布有粉条儿菜属植物15种1变种,而广义的横断山地区集中分布有13种1变种,是东亚粉条儿菜属植物分布最为集中的地区,而且包含该属植物各个进化阶段的代表.因此,广义的横断山地区是粉条儿菜属在东亚的分布中心和多样化中心.(2)根据粉条儿菜属及其近缘属的分布格局推测,该属可能在不晚于第三纪早期,起源于古北大陆.东亚和北美的粉条儿菜属植物形态区别明显,应该是隔离分化的结果.(3)该属植物可能曾经广布于北半球,后来地质、气候以及冰川等因素的变化,导致该属在一些地区灭绝,而仅存于东亚和北美东南部.(4)尽管横断山及其周边地区是东亚粉条儿菜属的多样化中心,但该地区很可能并不是粉条儿菜属最早的分化中心,因横断山地区周边的一些特有种可能是在晚近的时期形成的新特有种;另外,东亚粉条儿菜属一些原始的种类主要分布于我国中东部到日本一带.所以,中国中东部到日本一带可能是粉条儿菜属早期的分化中心.     

紫荆属的系统发育和生物地理学研究

紫荆属（Cercis L.）约含8种,间断分布于亚洲东、西部、欧洲南部和北美。应用核糖体DNA的ITS基因序列研究紫荆属的系统发育关系。在最简约性分析,北美的两个种和南欧、西亚的一个种构成一单系群而隐藏于东亚的种类中。这表明紫荆属北美的种类和南欧、西亚的种类之间的关系比它们的各自与东亚的种类的关系要密切。研究还发现北美洲东、西部的种类可能具较近亲缘。紫荆属以白令陆桥或北大西洋陆桥为迁移途径的可能性似乎都不能排除;北半球的生物地理分布式样可具有复杂的起源。

杉科植物的起源、演化及其分布

本文根据对杉科的系统发育、现代分布和化石分布的研究,结合古地理和古气候资料,讨论了杉科的起源、演化和现代分布格局的成因。杉科基本上是一个亚热带科,我国长江、秦岭以南至华南一带是其现代分布中心。东亚中高纬度的东北地区可能是其起源中心和早期分化中心。起源时间为早侏罗纪或晚三叠纪。杉科植物的各种类型很可能在早白垩纪甚至晚侏罗纪就已分化出来。杉科植物于东亚起源后,在当时劳亚古陆尚未完全解体、气候分带现象尚不甚明显的情况下跨越欧亚大陆散布到北美,并扩散到南半球。自晚白垩纪,白令陆桥和北大西洋陆桥对其在北半球的散布发挥了重要作用。杉科植物目前虽处于衰退状态,但在地质史上却曾经经历过极其繁盛的时代。在中生代中晚期和早第三纪,杉科植物种类繁多,广布于北半球,向北扩散到北极圈内的高纬度地区,是当时的大科。大多数现存属曾分别有过3个或2个分布中心：水松属、落羽杉属和北美红杉属在东亚、北美西部和欧洲;水杉属在东亚和北美西部;柳杉属、杉木属,很可能也包括台湾杉属在东亚和欧洲;巨杉属在欧洲、北美和东亚。在晚白垩纪和第三纪,现存属特别是水松属、落羽杉属、水杉属、北美红杉属和巨杉属,曾是北半球森林植被的重要组成成分。南半球也曾有少量种类,分布亦远较现代普遍。杉科在白垩纪的多样性达到鼎盛,具所有的现代属和大量的化石器官属,但在以后漫长的历史发展过程中,由于地质变迁、气候变化,大量类群绝灭。晚第三纪全球性的气温下降迫使杉科逐渐从高纬度地区撤出。第四纪冰期气候的剧烈恶化使杉科分布区进一步显著退缩至中、低纬度地区,最后在欧洲全部消失,仅在东亚、北美及澳大利亚的少数几个植物 “避难所”中残存下来。现今各属多分布于环太平洋地区极为狭窄的局部范围,在分布区内呈现出孤立或星散的残遗分布式样。杉科现存各属均为古老的孑遗或残遗类群。     

中国鹅膏菌属(担子菌)的物种多样性

鹅膏菌属（Ａｍａｎｉｔａ）是一个近世界性广布的大属,全球已被描述而又被承认的有近５００种。在文献中,我国此属已记载约２００种。然而,许多种都是原初描述于欧洲或北美的种类。近来的研究表明,东亚的鹅膏菌独特且有其自身的分布范围。东亚的有些种虽与产于欧洲或北美的某些种相似,但仔细的野外观察,详尽的形态解剖学和分子进化生物学研究结果表明,东亚的鹅膏菌是独立的分类群。在欧洲,人们有采集著名食菌恺撒鹅膏菌的习     

中国油杉属植物的生态地理分布与系统演化

油杉属是东亚特有属,全世界油杉属共有12种2变种,中国有10种2变种,中国是油杉属的特有中心和分布中心。在地史时期,油杉属植物曾广泛分布于北半球的欧洲、北美和东亚。油杉属的现代分布有残余的特征,种类大多产于中国西南部和中部,种类数量由西向东逐渐递减。根据生态习性与分布区气候特征,中国主要油杉属植物的生态地理分布可分为:内陆型(东部温凉型、东部温暖型、西南季风型)、沿海型和岛屿型。湘黔桂地区是油杉属的现代分布中心和分化、发展中心。从染色体资料来看,其演化趋势为:江南油杉→矩鳞油杉→黄枝油杉→台湾油杉。结合地理分布,油杉属植物可能起源于中国西南,而后向东发展。从分布区南北向看,核型不对称性为:台湾油杉>青岩油杉>铁坚油杉,南部类型比北部类型要进化。     

台湾拉拉山的水青冈林及其与广西越城岭水青冈林的生态比较

水青冈林是北半球重要的森林类型之一,广泛分布在欧洲、北美和东亚的平原和山地．东亚拥有水青冈属植物种类最多,特别是在中国,但对它们研究较少,在林业上几乎还没有得到应有的利用．本文主要概略地介绍台湾拉拉山台湾水青冈林的群落学特点,并与广西越城岭的长柄水青冈林和光叶水青冈林作生态比较,为今后进一步开展水青冈林的研究提供一些参考资料．     

华中地区藤本种子植物区系的研究

以湖南和湖北两省为代表对华中地区藤本种子植物的区系进行了研究。本区共有藤本种子植物62科175属838种,其中土著种类有60科159属784种。在科、属、种的水平上对藤本种子植物区系特性进行了较深入的统计和分析,并对本区藤本种子植物与邻近地区的关系、本区内的藤本种子植物的地带性分异进行了探讨。统计表明,本区藤本种子植物种数占该区种子植物总种数的11%,且61.7%的种类主要集中在30种以上的大科中;热带分布型明显多于温带分布型;泛热带、热带亚洲、东亚（中国）特有和东亚—北美间断分布科属比较集中,其中许多属为古老成分;本区藤本种子植物特有成分丰富,计有东亚特有科1科、中国特有属6属、中国特有种507种（其中华中地区特有种35种）。通过研究认为：本区藤本种子植物具有种类丰富、分布类型多样、特有成分较多、区系较古老的特点;与本区的全部种子植物区系相比,藤本种子植物区系的热带性更强,具有明显的热带亲缘性,并与喜马拉雅及中国西南有较强的地理渊源。     

大头茶族的范围及族内属的界限

广义大头茶族几乎包括了整个山茶亚科的属,分群的界限不够明确,易于造成混乱,经过研究,作者所持的是狭义大头茶族的概念。考察这一族包括Polyspora, Gordonia和Laplacea三个属形态特征上的差异和洲际分布的事实,这三个属虽然有共同的祖先,但由于演化上的歧异,仍应作为独立的属看待。在划分属的界限上,苞被分化与否和花部其他形态的差异具有最重要的意义,花粉表面纹饰的差异也可作为一种依据。Polyspora种群划分也被讨论。     

Neue Pflanzenfossilien aus der niederrheinischen Braunkohle IIPolyspora kilpperi nova spec. (Theaceae) aus dem Obermiozän des Tagebaues Zukunft-West bei Eschweiler/Rhld

Fossil parts of a capsule ofPolyspora kilpperi nova spec. (Theaceae) are described here. They can be compared with capsules of the recentPolyspora axillaris (Roxb. ex Lindl.) Sweet. The latter species grows in Broad-leaved Forests of Central- and Southern China and on Taiwan and can be regarded as a tropical-subtropical element. The fossils suggest good climatological conditions in the Upper Miocene of the Rhenish area.     

Polyspora huongiana sp. nov. (Theaceae) from Vietnam and notes on related species

A new species of Polyspora Sweet (Theaceae) endemic to the Bidoup‐Nui Ba National Park, Lam Dong Province, Vietnam, is described and illustrated: Polyspora huongiana Orel, Curry & Luu. The newly described species has variably shaped, coriaceous, narrowly elliptical leaves, terminal, pedicellate, mostly solitary, rather fleshy, dark pink to red flowers, with petals in two whorls; a columnar, seamlessly fused style with 3–5 apical lobes; persistent bracteoles; and a superior 3–4 (–5) chambered ovary. The morphological evidence supports taxonomic placement in the genus Polyspora. A new name is provided and new combinations are made for some other species in the region.     

Rapid detection and identification of the metabolically diverse genus Gordonia by 16S rRNA-gene-targeted genus-specific primers

The importance of the emerging genus Gordonia in industrial and environmental biotechnology is evidenced by the recent increase in associated publications and patents. But, investigations into potentially valuable Gordonia members are restricted by the limitations of current isolation and detection techniques. This motivated us to design a genus-specific oligonucleotide primer pair which could assist in rapid detection of species of the genus Gordonia by means of PCR-specific amplification. The Gordonia-specific 16S rDNA fragment (829 bp) was successfully amplified for all the reference Gordonia species with the designed primer pair G268F/G1096R. No amplification was noted for closely related species from other genera. The genus specificity was validated with 47 strains including wild-type isolates. Interestingly, two strains assigned earlier as Gordonia nitida (DSM 777) and Gordonia rubripertinctus (ATCC 21930) failed to produce a Gordonia-specific fragment with this primer pair. Further analysis of these two isolates based on 16S rDNA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis classified them to the genus Rhodococcus. Preliminary screening of soil samples with the Gordonia-specific primers was successful in terms of the rapid detection of nine Gordonia wild-type isolates.     

Detection of filamentous genus Gordonia in foam samples using genus-specific primers combined with PCR--denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis

A nested-PCR amplification combined with denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (PCR-DGGE) approach was used to detect and identify Gordonia populations from wastewater treatment plant foam samples. The PCR-amplified region (position 722-1119) by specifically designed primers G699F and G1096R covered the hypervariable region of the Gordonia 16S rRNA gene sequence. This approach successfully distinguished Gordonia species to the interspecies level. The differential ability of PCR-DGGE analysis was effectively used to separate 12 Gordonia species belonging to different 16S rRNA gene-based phylogenetic lineages into 8 groups. Based on this method, the minimum limit of Gordonia detection was 5 x 10(4) CFU.g -1 in the seeded soil samples. The PCR-DGGE bands obtained were excised and identified by sequence analysis. Gordonia polyisoprenivorans, Gordonia amicalis, DGGE type II Gordonia species, and an uncertain Gordonia species dominated the activated sludge foam samples. Results of this study indicate that the detection and analyses of genus Gordonia within a complex microbial community could be accomplished using the PCR-DGGE approach to a larger extent, with certain limitations. Detection of diverse Gordonia populations in foam samples from wastewater treatment plants revealed the significant role of Gordonia in biological foaming during wastewater treatment. The nested-PCR amplification and DGGE can be used as a diagnostic tool for the early detection of foaming incidents in wastewater treatment plants using Gordonia as indicator organism.     

Mycolic acids from Rhodococcus, Gordonia, and Dietzia

The mycolic acids from 11 species of Rhodococcus, seven species of Gordonia, and one species of Dietzia were analyzed using capillary gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GLC/MS). All strains tested in this study were divided into three groups according to the degree of double bonds and the average carbon number (Av.Nc.) of their mycolic acids. The genus Gordonia belongs to the first group possessing an Av.Nc. in the upper 50s and 60s with 0 to 5 double bonds. Some Rhodococcus species possessed Av.Nc. in the 40s with a variety of distributions of polyunsaturated fatty acids from 0 to 4. The rest of the Rhodococcus species and the genus Dietzia possessed Av.Nc. in the 30s with saturated fatty acids. We previously reported on Nocardia strains whose Av.Nc. were in the 50s. Considering the identification of mycolic acid-containing Actinomycetales at the generic level, the Av.Nc. proved to be useful as a means of differentiating the genera Rhodococcus, Gordonia and Nocardia. The genus Dietzia was found to have its own characteristic constitution of mycolic acid molecular species. The mycolic acids from D. maris 58001T were characterized by an almost equal amount of constituents of even- and odd-numbered carbon chains, whereas the major components of mycolic acids in all other strains had even-numbered carbon chains. Another characteristic of Dietzia was some even-numbered mycolic acids which contained odd-numbered straight chains with odd-numbered alpha-branches. These characteristics indicated that Dietzia might possess a novel fatty acid biosynthesis system.     

Gordonia namibiensis sp. nov., a novel nitrile metabolising actinomycete recovered from an African sand

A polyphasic approach was used to establish the taxonomic position of two actinomycetes isolated from a Namibian soil and shown to utilise nitrile compounds as growth substrates. The organisms, strains NAM-BN063AT and NAM-BN063B, had chemical and morphological properties consistent with their assignment to the genus Gordonia. Direct 165 rRNA sequencing studies confirmed the taxonomic position of the strains following the generation of phylogenetic trees using four different algorithms. The strains consistently formed a distinct phylogenetic line within the evolutionary radiation occupied by gordoniae and were most closely related to Gordonia rubropertincta DSM 43197T. DNA:DNA relatedness studies indicated that the two organisms belonged to a genomic species that was readily distinguished from G. rubropertincta. The unique phenotypic profile of the strains sharply separated them from representatives of all of the validly described species of Gordonia. The combination of genotypic and phenotypic data indicates that the two strains should be classified in the genus Gordonia as a new species. The name proposed for this taxon is Gordonia namibiensis, the type strain is NAM-BN063AT (= DSM 44568T = NCIMB 13780T).     

缙云山大头茶(Gordonia acuminata)生态位研究

基于四川缙云山森林群落演替系列群落取样, 采用Ｌｅｖｉｎｓ 生态位宽度、Ｆｅｉｎｓｉｎｇ 和Ｓｐｅａｒｓ相似性比例生态位宽度及Ｌｅｖｉｎｓ 生态位重叠、Ｐｅｔｒａｉｔｉｓ 生态位重叠等计测公式, 对大头茶（ Ｇｏｒ ｄｏｎｉａ ａｃｕｍｉｎａｔａ） 种群的生态位特征及动态进行了研究。结果表明, 大头茶种群生态位宽度在演替系列群落中由小到大再减小, 它与缙云山森林群落其它优势乔木种群的生态位特定重叠主要表现在同针叶林中的川灰木（ Ｓｙｍｐｌｏｃｏｓ ｓｅｔｃｈｕｎｅｎｓｉｓ） 、杉木（ Ｃｕｎｎｉｎｇｈａｍｉａ ｌａｎｃｅｏｌａｔａ） 、马尾松（Ｐｉｎｕｓ ｍａｓｓｏｎｉａｎａ） 种群上; 反之, 其它优势乔木种群在大头茶种群上的生态位特定重叠在大头茶纯林中表现较显著; 从总体上, 所选１５ 个优势种群在各类群落中均不表现出显著的生态位普遍重叠。反映了大头茶种群在缙云山森林群落演替中的先锋拓殖作用, 亦为其常绿阔叶林的重要种群之一, 但它更重要的是一森林群落演替过渡类型的优势种群。     

四川大头茶若干生态问题的研究

四川大头茶(Gordonia acumenata)是我国亚热带西南地区常绿阔叶林优势种之一,材质好,生长快而又未被人注意的一种优良树种。由于它是喜阳的常绿阔叶顶极先锋种(pioneer climax species)其幼苗耐阴,所以在针阔叶混交林中排挤了先锋树种(pioneer species)马尾松,而本身又在常绿阔叶林演替阶段,被更耐阴的顶极种(climax species)所代替,这是由于顶极种有较高的生态位重叠(niche overiap)和最大的生态位宽度(niche breadth)值。四川大头茶Pn日变化具有双峰曲线型和单峰曲线型两种模式,而年变化有明显的季节现象。光照强度和温度是决定Pn的两个主要生态因子,并具有较高的饱和净光合速率和降低暗呼吸能力使其成为喜阳速生的特性。由于速生,其生物量可达176.62t·ha-1;生产量达10.86t·ha-1。四川大头茶幼苗的蒸腾强度与大气湿度、叶温、光强、相对湿度、叶含水量等参数的变化有密切关系。干旱胁迫使光合速率明显下降,从而影响地上部分的生物生产力,但根／冠比却增加18.18%,这可能是植株对干旱胁迫的一种生态适应对策。四川大头茶各器官的营养元素分配与季节有密切关系,同时与土壤中相应的元素含量也有关。
