根据ITS序列证据重建防己科蝙蝠葛族的系统发育

研究了国产防己科蝙蝠葛族tirb．Menispermeae9属20种和外类群青牛胆族trib．Tinosporeae 2属3种植物完整的ITS(包括5.8S rDNA)序列。trib．Menispermeae的ITS长527～601 bp,排序后长667bp。当gap处理为missing时具281个有信息位点。PAUP软件分析结果表明：①trib．Menispermeae是一个单系类群,该分支得到hootstrap l00％的支持;②确定了存疑种Pachygone valida的系统学位置,该种是Coc—culus属的成员;③Sinomenium和Menispermum两属有很近的系统学关系,组成族内稳定的一支,它们的ITS序列同源性极高,ITS1比族内其它属长41～73bp;④Stephania和Cyclea也是系统发育关系很近的两个类群。前者具两个主要分支,其IIS1、ITS2的G+C含量差异较大,在种类组成上,该两大支与传统上Stephania属内处理的2个亚属——千金藤亚属subgen．Stephania和山乌龟亚属subgen．Tuberiphania基本一致;Cyclea属内种间的ITS序列差异小,同源性极高。     

密叶杉属的核型分析及其系统位置的探讨

本文首次对特产澳大利亚塔斯马尼亚岛的Athrotaxis cupressoides和Athrotaxis selaginoides进行了核型分析,核型公式分别为2n=22=22m(2SAT)和2n=22=20(2SAT)+2sm,均属Stebbins的1B类型,它们的染色体相对长度组成为22=2L+10M₂+8M_l+2S和22=2L十10M₂+6M_l+4S,后者比前者较为进化。根据密叶杉属和杉科其他各属核型资料的比较分析,它们由原始到进步的顺序可能为：柳杉属、水松属、落羽杉属、水杉属、巨杉属、红杉属,密叶杉属、杉木属和台湾杉属。 密叶属与红杉属、巨杉属和杉木属较为近缘。 这些在以染色体长度比和平均臂比为纵、横坐标的图上得到清楚反映。 根据核型资料,密叶杉属以隶于单型的亚科Arthrotaxoideae较为合适,这也得到形态学、胚胎学、孢粉学和地理学资料的支持。 本文还对前人系统中的密叶杉属位置进行了讨论。     

巧花兜兰——越南中部兰科一新种

在今年年初的一次访问云南南部的旅行中,笔者曾购得数苗小型的兜兰,据兰商称系采自越南中部,又叫越南黄花仔。此种兜兰的叶甚似小叶兜兰ＰａｐｈｉｏｐｅｄｉｌｕｍｂａｒｂｉｇｅｒｕｍＴａｎｇｅｔＷａｎｇ和海伦兜兰Ｐａｐｈ.ｈｅｌｅｎａｅＡｖｅｒｙａｎｏｖ,但花却有着明显的不同。小叶兜兰的花大,直径达5.5～7ｃｍ;合萼片狭窄,其宽度仅为中萼片的1/2～3/5。海伦兜兰花纯黄色;花瓣线形或宽线形。而此种兜兰的花直径3～3.5ｃｍ,呈淡黄绿色,唇瓣表面、合萼片中脉下半部和花瓣的中脉及中脉上方一侧均有枣红色晕;合萼片宽度为中萼片的4/5;…     

蜡瓣花属的花粉形态研究

本文对金缕梅科Hamamlidaceae蜡瓣花属Corylopsis 11种花粉进行光学显微镜和扫描电镜的观察研究。本属花粉除Corylopsis sinensis少量花粉具4沟外均为三沟类型。外壁均具网状纹饰,网眼形状大小略有差异,花粉粒大小虽有些变化,但其它特征均较一致,故在植物分类上本属是相当自然的一个类群。     

基于叶绿体DNA变异研究高山植物偏花报春的种内谱系地理结构

横断山地区是许多温带植物的冰期避难所。为揭示该地区分布物种的亲缘地理结构, 检测了该地区特有、分布相对较为普遍的偏花报春Primula secundiflora的叶绿体trnL-trnF和rps16区序列变异。研究了11个居群109个个体, 一共发现了15种单倍型。只有一种单倍型为3个居群所共有, 其他单倍型都只存在于单个居群内。总的遗传多样性较高(HT=0.966), 但居群内遗传多样性较低(HS=0.178)。尽管种内形态十分一致, 居群间却存在高水平的遗传分化(FST=0.976)。NST (0.982)显著高于GST (0.816), 表明偏花报春在居群间存在明显的亲缘地理结构。单倍型聚成四个主要的分支: 三个分支的单倍型分布在北部, 而另一分支的单倍型分布在南部。四个分支的隔离分布表明该物种在冰期存在多个避难所。未发现在其他温带物种中广泛存在的间冰期或者冰期后物种分布范围的统一扩张现象。但是, 在气候变迁过程中由于居群增长-缩小反复发生, 多数居群的遗传多样性降低。这些推断也被巢式分支分析所证实, 距离隔离而导致的限制性基因流以及异域片断化被认为是该物种现有单倍型分布格局形成的主要原因。这种独特的谱系地理结构主要是由于气候变迁与该地区复杂的地质环境相结合造成的。     

用nrDNA ITS序列探讨狭蕊龙胆属及其近缘属 (龙胆科)的系统发育

运用核糖体DNA内转录间隔区ITS序列对狭蕊龙胆属Metagentiana10种及其近缘属22种植物进行了系统发育分析。ITS分析结果表明狭蕊龙胆属是一个多系群:在系统发育树上,双蝴蝶属Tripterospermum和蔓龙胆属Crawfurdia的种类位于狭蕊龙胆属各分支中,而且双蝴蝶属和蔓龙胆属的种类也相互交叉;这一结果不支持将3个属各自独立为属。但是,在所有分析中,3个属共同形成一单系分支,是龙胆属Gentiana的姊妹群;这一结果与形态学、花部解剖学、细胞学、孢粉学和胚胎学等证据基本一致,狭蕊龙胆属应该从龙胆属中分离出来,它与双蝴蝶属和蔓龙胆属有更为密切的亲缘关系。根据分支图,在狭蕊龙胆属、双蝴蝶属和蔓龙胆属组成的复合群中,现已知的染色体基数x＝17、21和23可能存在网状和平行进化。     

木里报春一新异名

将新近发表的Primula hongshanensis D. W. H. Rankin, Z. D. Fang &; H. Sun处理为木里报春P. boreiocalliantha的异名, 对近缘的几个种列出了检索表。     

基于叶绿体微卫星研究鄂报春谱系遗传结构

鄂报春Primula obconica作为一种广泛栽培的园艺植物,其野生居群的遗传多样性及遗传结构的研究还少见报道。本文通过叶绿体微卫星分析了17个鄂报春野生居群(共278个个体),共发现4个多态性位点(16个等位基因),得到14个单倍型。结果表明鄂报春具有很高的总基因多样性(HT=0.971)和极低的居群内基因多样性(HS=0.028);分子方差分析(AMOVA)显示98%的变异存在于居群间。这些结果说明早期的生境片断化及有限的种子传播能力是造成当前遗传结构的重要原因。Nst值显著大于Gst值,表明关系相近的单倍型会出现在相同的地区内,同时最小生成树(MST)的分析结果证实了这样的结论。我们在最小生成树的两个组中推断出一些古老单倍型,并推测在冰期时湖北和我国的西南地区可能是该物种的避难所。     

DNA barcoding in closely related species: A case study of Primula L.sect.Proliferae Pax (Primulaceae) in China

DNA barcoding is a method of identifying species by analyzing one or a few short standardized DNA sequences. There are particular challenges in barcoding plants, especially for distinguishing closely related species. Hence, there is an urgent need to evaluate the performance of candidate loci for distinguishing between species, especially closely related species, to complement the rbcL + matK combination suggested as the core barcode for land plants. We sampled 48 individuals representing 12 species in Primula sect. Proliferae Pax in China to evaluate the performance of eight leading candidate barcode loci (matK, rbcL, rpoB, rpoCl, trnH-psbA, psbK-psbI, atpFatpH, and internal transcribed spacer (ITS)). The core combination rbcL + matK gave only 50% species resolution in sect. Proliferae. In terms of intraspecies and interspecies divergence, degree of monophyly, and sequence similarity, ITS, trnH-psbA, and psbK-psbI showed good performance as single-locus barcodes. Internal transcribed spacer displayed the highest genetic divergence and best discriminatory power, both alone and in combination with rbcL +matK (83.3% species resolution). We recommend evaluating the use of ITS for barcoding in other species. Low or single copy nuclear regions would provide more sophisticated barcoding tools in the long term, even though further research is required to find suitable loci.

基于ITS、rpl16和trnS-trnR DNA序列讨论锥形果属的系统位置

基于核基因ITS和叶绿体基因rpll6、trnS-trnR的DNA序列讨论了锥形果属的系统位置,3个基因片段独立以及联合的分析为锥形果属Gomphogyne的系统进化研究提供了足够的信息.结果表明:(1)锥形果属是一个自然属;(2)雪胆属Hemsleya的短柄雪胆H. delavayi和圆锥果雪胆H. macrocarpa曾经被作为锥形果属的种,分子证据表明它们确实隶属于雪胆属;(3)锥形果属单独构成雪胆属的姊妹群,而并非是与绞股蓝属Gynostemma共同构成.     

Phylogeny ofCyclamen L. (Primulaceae): Evidence from morphology and sequence data from the internal transcribed spacers of nuclear ribosomal DNA

A molecular phylogenetic study of the genusCyclamen L. (Primulaceae) has been undertaken, based on sequence data from the 5.8S gene in the ribosomal nuclear DNA and its flanking internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2. Sequence data from 15 species ofCyclamen and seven outgroup taxa selected from Primulaceae and Myrsinaceae were analyzed phylogenetically. A second analysis based on a combined morphological and molecular dataset was performed to evaluate earlier hypotheses of character evolution in the genus. The results indicate that four monophyletic subgroups may be recognized in the genus, viz.Cyclamen, Psilanthum Schwarz,Eucosme Schwarz andGyrophoebe Schwarz. Each of the four subgenera is diagnosed by distinct basic chromosome number, as well as by morphological and molecular characteristics.     

鄂报春(Primula obconica Hance)亲缘地理学的初步研究

为了获得鄂报春（Primula obconica Hance）的种内亲缘地理学信息,对叶绿体基因组上非编码区trnL-trnF的序列变异进行了分析.获得的20个单倍型具有一定的地理分布结构.对这些单倍型进行系统发育分析,得到了三个主要分支：东部分支广泛分布于中国东南部、湖南、湖北、四川和云南;四川分支分布于四川西部;云南分支分布于云南西北部.东部分支分布面积较后两个分支大,并且在东部分支中可以发现一定的演化关系.结合古气候学和地质学信息,推测东部分支中现存的单倍型由冰期时气候变冷导致鄂报春快速迁移而形成,云南、四川分支中的单倍型可能是在各自的避难所中得以保存.同时本文也简要地探讨了鄂报春几个亚种之间的分类学关系.     

Primula vallicola sp. nov. (Primulaceae) from Sichuan,China

A new species of Primula, P. vallicola Y. Xu, G. Hao & C.M. Hu, is described and illustrated from Sichuan province, China. Based on general morphology the new species is assigned to Primula sect. Aleuritia subsect. Yunnanensis. It is closely allied to P. kialensis, but can be distinguished by its larger stature, leaf shape, and the well‐differentiated petiole. The leaf shape of the new species is ovate to ovate‐elliptic and usually sub‐rounded at base. The new species also resembles P. homogama, but differs in being glabrous rather than with appressed hairs, and with longer petiole.
