满江红属系统学研究的新进展

本文从植物系统学角度对满江红属的研究进展作了全面综述。近年来从细胞研 究水平提出了将满江红属重新划分为〖WTBX〗Azolla和Tetrasporocarpia 2个亚 属,经典的三膘（Azolla）和九膘（Rhizosperma)〖WTBZ〗亚属作为新的Subgen Azolla中的2个组（Section),而原有九膘亚属中的A.nilotica 则成为Subgen.Tetrasporocarpia〖WTBZ〗的一个种。遗传育种和同工酶 的研究证据对A.mexicana,A.microphylla和A.caroliniana能否在Sect. Azolla中占据3个种的分类地位提出疑问。但要完全解决满江红属的系统 学问题,分子生物学技术将是重要手段。由于满江红为蕨 藻共生体,其样本的异质性影响了现有分子标记研究结果的可靠性。     

满江红光合器的显微和亚显微观察

本文对中国自然分布的满江红Azolla imbricata(Roxb)Nakai的光合器(叶片、叶绿 体和共生兰藻)作了观察,并与 A．filiculoides,A．japonica,A．caroliniana,A．pinnata和A． mexicana作了某些比较。 用光学显微镜观察了 A．imbricata 叶片的横切片,井研究了蕨-藻共生关系。共生兰藻不 仅存在于成熟叶片的叶腔中,而且在叶片发育的早期阶段就在叶原基周围,甚至还能在大孢子 中找到。在叶腔中蕨体伸出多细胞的腺毛与兰藻相连。 借助于扫描电子显微镜能观察到各种满江红叶子背裂片的表面都有疣突和气孔。疣突的 形状随种而不同。属于三膘满江红亚属Subgen．Euazolla的种(即A．filiculoides,A．japonia, A．caroliniana和A．mexicana)具有圆形的疣突;属于九膘满江红亚属 Subgen．Rhizosperma 的种(即A．imbricata和A．pinnata),其疣突呈长卵形。 这种形态上的特征首次被报道与分 类系统有关。 用透射电子显微镜得到的结果表明,A．filiculoides比A．imbricata在叶绿体中含有较多 的类囊体,而且前者的基粒片层比后者有较多的垛叠。 这与它们的光合能力相符。这也可能 是两个亚属之间的一种差异。 共生的满江红鱼腥藻Anabaena azollae的亚显微结构与自由生活的Anabaena相似。 营 养细胞有典型的双层壁,而异形胞有加厚的细胞壁。 这两种细胞中的类囊体通常呈螺旋形泡状。在营养细胞分裂时,细胞内含物发生聚集和再分配。     

满江红鱼腥藻遗传多样性的RAPD分析

共生在水生蕨类植物满江红(又称“红萍”:Azolla)叶腔中的固氮兰细菌曾被认为是一个种满江红鱼腥藻(Anabaena azollae Strasb.).但由于现存的满江红在分类学上有2个亚属,7个种1,对不同满江红叶腔中鱼腥藻的鉴别,多年来引起人们的重视.80年代,鱼腥藻的单克隆抗体和RFLP的研究,发现了它与宿主分类上一定程度的对应关系2,3.90年代以后,Van Coppenolle和Eskew分别以RAPD-PCR和DAF-PCR对从满江红共生体中提取的DNA进行了分析4,5,但后者发现了共生体中藻的DNA对整个PCR产物的干扰作用会影响满江红属本身系统分类.       

满江红(Azolla imbricata)叶片组织的环状细胞的发现

满江红(Azolla)又名红萍、绿萍,是漂浮水生蕨类植物,满江红科,满江红属。它与满江红鱼腥藻(Anabaena azollae)共生,具有光合、固氮、放氢等功能。近年来,对它的研究受到了越来越多人的关注,目前已成为研究的活跃领域。关于满江红的形态特征、显微和亚显微     

无藻萍的RAPD分析及其在三膘组满江红种间关系研究中的应用

从满江红Azolla Lam.萍-藻共生体中提取DNA进行的RAPD系统分析通常忽视了满江红样品的异质性。本研究通过获得无藻的满江红,比较有藻萍、无藻萍和离体藻之间的RAPD指纹图谱。发现从有藻萍中提取DNA的扩增反应来源于萍藻双方DNA的共同影响。依引物和植物样本的不同,共生双方对扩增产物的贡献结果不同,说明了用无藻萍进行RAPD检测的重要性。对满江红三膘组5个种的11个无藻萍样本进行了RAPD分析,由9个引物产生的127个DNA多态片段用于计算样本间的Jaccard相似系数和UPGMA树状聚类图。结果     

温度对三种满江红光合及固氮活性的影响

本文报道满江红(Azolla imbricata)、卡洲满江红(A.caroliniana)和蕨状满江红(A.filiculoides)的光合与固氮(乙炔还原)活性对温度的反应差异。根区培养液温度在7—40℃范围内满江红与卡洲满江红的光合活性在30℃达到峰值,高于或低于30℃均急剧下降。而蕨状满江红在7—25℃的根区温度范围内光合活性差异不大,高于25℃则下降(图2)。0℃24小时或40℃2小时暗预处理对三种满江红光合活性与乙炔还原活性表现出不同影响(图3,4)。本文报道的方法可用于满江红生理生态参量的比较研究。     

基于ITS序列分析探讨杜鹃属映山红亚属的组间关系

以叶状苞亚属的叶状苞杜鹃为外类群,以杜鹃属映山红亚属（subg.Tsutsusi)2组12种杜鹃和羊踯躅亚属（subg.Pentanthera）3种4种杜鹃的ITS区（包括5.8S rDNA)的序列了系统学分析。3个亚属的ITS区序长度范围为642－645bp。排序后ITS区的序列长度为653个位点,gap做缺失处理时,变异位点和信息位点分别占6．58％和3．68％。运用PAUP4．0软件分析,获得15个最简树,步长为75,一致性指数（CI）和维持性指数（RI）值分别为0．9333和0．9515,利用15个最简约树获取严格一致树,结果表明：1）映山红亚属为一单系类群,其内部支持率为81％;2）不支持将R.ashiroi独立成假映山红组,也不支持将R.tashiroi并入映山红组,而支持将R.tashiroi并入轮生叶组中的观点;3）支持将R.tsusiophyllum并入映山红组中的观点;4）大字杜鹃的系统位置还需进一步的研究。     

温度对三种满江红光合及固氮活性的影响

本文报道满江红(Azolla imbricata)、卡洲满江红(A. caroliniana)和蕨状满江红(A. filiculoides)的光合与固氮(乙炔还原)活性对温度的反应差异。根区培养液温度在7—40℃范围内满江红与卡洲满江红的光合活性在30℃达到峰值,高于或低于30℃均急剧下降。而蕨状满江红在7—25℃的根区温度范围内光合活性差异不大,高于25℃则下降(图2)。0℃24小时或40℃2小时暗预处理对三种满江红光合活性与乙炔还原活性表现出不同影响(图3,4)。本文报道的方法可用于满江红生理生态参量的比较研究。     

中国喜马拉雅地区特有植物黄花木属的细胞学研究

对中国喜马拉雅特有类群黄花木属（Piptanthus）的黄花木（P.rvepalensis）和绒叶黄花木（P．to-mentosus）的5个居群进行了核形态学研究。黄花木属染色体基数z=9,染色体数目2n=18,均为二倍体;该属种间核型存在显著差异,即黄花木居群属于1A型,绒叶黄花木属于2A型;另外,黄花木种内居群间核型公式也表现出一定的差异。该研究结果从细胞学印证和支持了前人系统学和生物地理学的推论,即绒叶黄花木（2A核型）是由黄花木或祖先（1A核型）在喜马拉雅隆升过程中由西向东扩张分化形成的。     

满江红[Azolla imbricata(Roxb)Nakai]和蕨状满江红[Azolla filiculoides Lam.]固氮作用和光合作用的研究

用满江红[Azolla imbricata(Roxb)Nakai]和蕨状满江红[Azolla filiculoides Lam.]研究了固氮酶催化的 C_2H_2还原和放 H_2,光合吸收 CO_2以及在封闭系统中同时测定了 C_2H_2还原、光合作用和呼吸作用。结果如下:1.固氮酶催化的 C_2H_2还原基本需光。满江红的光饱和点大约在10,000勒克司。气相中C_2H_2分压为10%时,C_2H_2还原已达饱和。1%CO 已抑制 C_2H_2还原,同时有 H_2的释放。2.测定了 A.imbricata 和 A.filiculoides 的 C_2H_2还原活性随叶片年龄的变化。这两种满江红的顶端活性是极微的,随着叶片年龄的增长,活性明显提高,接着出现一个活性高峰的“平台”,然后随叶片衰老而活性下降。这种活性梯度由于形态上的差异,A.imbricata 比 A.fili-culoides 的更陡。3.A.imbricata 固氮酶催化的放 H_2,在氩气中未能检出,但在氩中含15%C_2H_2和2%CO 时可以测到。在后一种气相中还测定了放 H_2随叶片年龄的变化。这些结果说明存在着一种吸氢酶。4.A.imbricata 和 A.filiculoides 在空气中的光合 CO_2补偿点在30ppm 左右。5.用 A.imbricata 同时测定光合作用、呼吸作用和 C_2H_2还原,证明固氮酶活性直接依赖于光合作用捕获的光能,而不是直接依赖于 CO_2固定。     

Phylogeny of Oriental voles (Rodentia: Muridae: Arvicolinae): molecular and morphological evidence

The systematics of Oriental voles remains controversial despite numerous previous studies. In this study, we explore the systematics of all species of Oriental voles, except Eothenomys wardi, using a combination of DNA sequences and morphological data. Our molecular phylogeny, based on two mitochondrial genes (COI and cyt b), resolves the Oriental voles as a monophyletic group with strong support. Four distinct lineages are resolved: Eothenomys, Anteliomys, Caryomys, and the new subgenus Ermites. Based on morphology, we consider Caryomys and Eothenomys to be valid genera. Eothenomys, Anteliomys, and Ermites are subgenera of Eothenomys. The molecular phylogeny resolves subgenera Anteliomys and Ermites as sister taxa. Subgenus Eothenomys is sister to the clade Anteliomys + Ermites. Caryomys is the sister group to genus Eothenomys. Further, the subspecies E. custos hintoni and E. chinensis tarquinius do not cluster with E. custos custos and E. chinensis chinensis, respectively, and the former two taxa are elevated to species level and assigned to the new subgenus Ermites.     

中国森林田鼠族系统分类研究进展(啮齿目:仓鼠科:䶄亚科)

森林田鼠族（Myodini）是䶄亚科（Arvicolinae）的重要类群,广泛分布于整个全北区及东洋区部分区域,该族目前存在的分类学问题是缺乏化石标本、短时间的物种分化、有限分子样本和部分类群采样困难等综合因素影响的结果。近年中国森林田鼠族的系统分类研究成果主要有：（1）绒鼠属（Eothenomys）的采样和系统发育研究基本涵盖了全部类群,发现1新亚属和4新种,分别为川西绒鼠亚属（Ermites）和石棉绒鼠（Eothenomys shimianensis）、金阳绒鼠（E.jinyangensis）、美姑绒鼠（E.meiguensis）、螺髻山绒鼠（E.luojishanensis）,原来被普遍接受的黑腹绒鼠福建亚种（E.melanogaster colurnus）、中华绒鼠康定亚种（E.chinensis tarquinius）、西南绒鼠康定亚种（E.custos hintoni）被证实为3个独立有效种,滇绒鼠（E.eleusis）、丽江绒鼠（E.fidelis）的种级分类地位进一步得到确认;大绒鼠贡山亚种（E.miletus confinii）和黑腹绒鼠滇西亚种（E.melanogaster libonotus）实为克钦绒鼠（E.cachinus）的同物异名。（2）基于形态和分子系统发育的研究支持恢复东亚䶄属（Craseomys）的属级分类地位,同时解决了䶄属（Myodes）的非单系起源问题;研究进一步证实山西䶄（Craseomys shanseius）应为棕背䶄的山西亚种（Craseomys rufocanus shanseius）。（3）高山䶄属（Alticola）的平颅高山䶄亚属（Platycranius）分类地位受到分子系统发育研究结果质疑,该亚属的唯一物种平颅高山䶄（Alticola strelzowi）与高山䶄属指名亚属物种聚在同一枝;库蒙高山䶄（A.stracheyi）实为斯氏高山䶄（A.stoliczkanus）的同物异名。基于近年系统分类研究结果,目前中国森林田鼠族分布有5属共30种。     

Phylogenetic relationships within Plantago (Plantaginaceae): evidence from nuclear ribosomal ITS and plastid trnL-F sequence data

A molecular phylogenetic study of Plantago L. (Plantaginaceae) analysed nucleotide variation in the internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of nuclear ribosomal and plastid trnL-F regions. Included are 57 Plantago species, with two Aragoa species as the ingroup and three Veronica species as the outgroup. Phylogenetic analysis using maximum parsimony identified five major clades, corresponding to the taxonomic groups Plantago subgenera Plantago, Coronopus, Psyllium, Littorella and Bougueria . Aragoa is sister to genus Plantago . Plantago subgenus Littorella is sister to the other subgenera of Plantago . The results are in general correlated with a morphological phylogenetic study and iridoid glucoside patterns, but Plantago subgenus Albicans is paraphyletic and should be included in Plantago subgenus Psyllium sensu lato to obtain a monophyletic clade with six sections. Plantago section Hymenopsyllium is more closely related to section Gnaphaloides than to section Albicans . Plantago subgenus Bougueria is sister to subgenus Psyllium s.l. section Coronopus in Plantago subgenus Coronopus is subdivided in two series. Only some of the sections can be resolved into series. DNA variation within genus Plantago is high, a result that would not have been predicted on the basis of morphology, which is relatively stereotyped. If we calibrate a molecular clock based on the divergence of P. stauntoni , endemic to New Amsterdam in the southern Indian Ocean, we calculate the time of the split between Plantago and Aragoa to be 7.1 million years ago, which is congruent with the fossil record.  © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2002, 139 , 323–338.     

Systematic significance of seed morphology in veronica (plantaginaceae): a phylogenetic perspective

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: A new infrageneric rearrangement for Veronica has been proposed based on the most recent evidence from DNA sequence data, morphological evidence, and biogeographical considerations. Looking for morphological synapomorphies for each monophyletic subgenus has been problematic, due to difficulties arising from widespread homoplasy (mainly parallel evolution). In an attempt to overcome these difficulties, previously underexplored morphological characters are starting to be studied in more depth. METHODS: A molecular phylogenetic hypothesis was used based on sequences of ITS (nuclear ribosomal DNA) and plastid trnL-F regions, as a framework to test the use of seed coat ultrastructure (studied under scanning electron microscope) in the systematics of the genus. A sample of 132 taxa representing ten of the 13 subgenera in Veronica, excluding the species of the southern hemisphere Hebe complex and the exclusively North American subgenus Synthyris, was studied. KEY RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The results demonstrate that, in many cases, the ultrastucture of the testa can be employed to assess relationships of taxa within the genus, and the character provides additional support for molecular trees. Further characters relevant for the classification of Veronica, i.e. base chromosome number, iridoid chemical data, life cycle, inflorescence position, have been taken into consideration in a discussion where an attempt is made to highlight the best traits to characterize each subgenus investigated.     

Phylogenetic relationships in family Magnoliaceae inferred from ndhF sequences

The ndhF sequences of 99 taxa, representing all sections in extant Magnoliaceae, were analyzed to address phylogenetic questions in the family. Magnolia macrophylla and M. dealbata, North American species of Magnolia section Rytidospermum, are placed at the base in the subfamily Magnolioideae although its supporting value is low. In the remaining taxa, several distinctive lineages are recognized: (1) Magnolia, the biggest genus in the family, is not monophyletic; (2) Michelia, including section Maingola of Magnolia subgenus Magnolia, is closely related with Elmerrillia and sections Alcimandra and Aromadendron of Magnolia subgenus Magnolia; (3) the associates of Michelia are grouped with Magnolia subgenus Yulania and section Gynopodium of Magnolia subgenus Magnolia; (4) Pachylarnax forms a clade with sections Manglietiastrum and Gynopodium of Magnolia; (5) a well-supported Manglietia clade is recognized; (6) Caribbean species of section Theorhodon of Magnolia subgenus Magnolia, which are section Splendentes sensu Vázquez-Garcia, are closely allied with New World members of Magnolia subgenus Talauma; and (7) section Rytidospermum of Magnolia subgenus Magnolia and subgenus Talauma are polyphyletic. The separated clades in the molecular tree are considerably different from traditional taxonomic dispositions in the family. The molecular data strongly suggest that a taxonomic realignment of infrafamilial delimitations and compositions should be considered.     

Phylogeny of the genus Aphis Linnaeus, 1758 (Homoptera: Aphididae) inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences

Aphis is the largest aphid genus in the world and contains several of the most injurious aphid pests. It is also the most reluctant aphid genus to any comprehensive taxonomic treatment: while most species are easily classified into "species groups" that form well defined entities, numerous species within these groups are difficult to tell apart morphologically and identification keys remain ambiguous and mostly rely on host plant affiliation. In this paper, we used partial sequences of COI/COII and CytB genes to reconstruct the first phylogeny of Aphis and discuss the present systematics. The monophyly of the subgenus Bursaphis and of the tree major species groups, Black aphid, Black backed aphid and frangulae-like species was recovered by all phylogenetic analyses. However our data suggested that the nominal subgenus was not monophyletic. Relationships between major species groups were often ambiguous but "Black" and "Black backed" species groups appeared as sister clades. The most striking result of this study was that our molecular data met the same limits as the morphological characters used in classifications: mitochondrial DNA did not allow the differentiation of species that are difficult to identify. Further, interspecies relationships within groups of species for which taxonomic treatment is difficult stayed unresolved. This suggests that species delineation in the genus Aphis is often ambiguous and that diversification might have been a rapid process.     

中国春黄菊族植物叶表皮结构的研究

本文对分布在中国的春黄菊族(Anthemideae)中的25属98种植物叶的表皮结构进行了观察。1.毛状体的类型适于作为本族自然群、属、亚属、组或系的分类特征。2.轴型、半平列型和螺旋型等复合结构的气孔适于作属以下各单位的分类依据。3.表皮细胞的大小、气孔的保卫细胞长度和 T 型-毛的顶端长度等,这些只是数量特征,在本族分类上意义不大。     

A taxonomic revision of the genus Tordylium L. (Apiaceae)

The four related genera: Ainsworthia Boiss., Tordylium L., Synelcosciadium Boiss. and Mandenovia Alava are revised. Data are presented from detailed gross morphology, mericarp surface features and anatomy, and palynology.
The results show: (1) Ainsmorthia and Synelcosciadium are congeneric with the genus Tordylium, and that Mandenovia is a good monotypic genus; (2) Tordylium persicum is synonymous with 7. cappadocicum and 7. aegaeum with 7. pestalozzae; (3) the genus Tordylium is best divided into subgenus Tordylium (including Synelcosciadium) and subgenus Ainsworthia (Boiss.) Drude. The latter is divided into section Condylocarpus (Hoffm.) DC, section Hasselquistia (L.) Boiss. and section Univittata Drude.
A new species of Tordylium is described, and two new combinations made. A taxonomic treatment of the genus 'Tordylium', together with a key to the species, is given.
