中国橐吾属(菊科-千里光族)的分类学研究(五):君范橐吾、长毛槖吾和南川橐吾原白中一些排印错误的改正

对我国菊科橐吾属(Ligularia Cass.) 3种植物原白中模式标本引证的排印错误进行了改正。君范橐吾(L. lingiana S.W. Liu)原白中错误地将主模式标本引证为赵清盛82946,实际应为赵清盛、牟克平和杨亚斌8294。长毛槖吾(L. changiana S.W. Liu ex Y. L. Chen & Z. Yu Li)(=L. heterophylla C. C. Chang,为L. heterophylla Rupr.的晚出同名)主模式为蔡希陶59771,但L. heterophylla C. C. Chang 的原白中错误地将主模式标本引证为蔡希陶59711;该号标本属于唇形科的灯笼草[Clinopodium polycephalum (Vaniot) C. Y. Wu & Hsuan]。南川橐吾(L. nanchuanica S. W. Liu)原白中引证的副模式标本熊济华和周子林93871实际应为李国凤63871,前者属于桤叶树科的城口桤叶树(Clethra fargesii Franch.)。     

中国橐吾属(菊科-千里光族)的分类学研究(二)：植夫橐吾的名实订正

通过文献和标本考证,发现《中国植物志》第77卷第2分册和《Flora of China》第20~21卷中均误将黑穗橐吾(Ligularia melanothyrsa Hand.-Mazz.)鉴定为植夫橐吾(L. fangiana Hand.-Mazz.),而真正的植夫橐吾应处理为川鄂橐吾[L. wilsoniana (Hemsl.) Greenm.]的异名。     

中国橐吾属(菊科-千里光族)的分类学研究(三)：芥形橐吾、岷县橐吾和半裂橐吾的名实订正

将芥形橐吾（Ligularia brassicoides Hand.-Mazz.）、岷县橐吾（L. ianthochaeta C. C. Chang）和半裂橐吾（L. paradoxa Hand.-Mazz. var. palmatifida S. W. Liu     

中国橐吾属(菊科-千里光族)的分类学研究(四):康定橐吾和Senecio ficariifolius的名实订正(英文)

将康定橐吾(Ligularia kangtingensis S.W.Liu)处理为细茎橐吾[L.hookeri(C.B.Clarke)Hand.-Mazz.]的异名。Senecio ficariifolius H.Lév.Vaniot长期以来被处理为细茎橐吾的异名,但我们检查模式材料后发现其头状花序盘状,与头状花序辐射状的细茎橐吾明显不同,而与头状花序盘状的贵州橐吾[L.leveillei(Vaniot)Hand.-Mazz.]没有区别,故将其处理为贵州橐吾的异名。     

五种橐吾属植物的核型研究

首次报道了5种国产橐吾属植物的核型,结果如下：东俄洛橐吾(Ligularia tongolensis)核型为2n=58=32m 14sm 12st;侧茎橐吾(L.pleurocaulis)四川稻城居群核型为2n=58=24m 32sm 2st 3～5B,云南中甸居群核型为2n=58=36m 22sm;云南橐吾(L．yunnanensis)核型为2n=58=28m 30sm;叶状鞘橐吾(L．phyllocolea)核型为2n=58=30m 24sm 4st 1B;浅苞橐吾(L．cynthceps)核型为2n=58=24m 34sm。5种橐吾染色体数目都为58。在叶状鞘橐吾和四川稻城产侧茎橐吾中发现有B染色体存在,这在以前对橐吾属及近缘属植物的核型研究中未见报道。     

7种橐吾属植物的核型

研究了7种橐吾属（Ligularia）植物的染色体和核形态。干崖子橐吾（L．kanaitzensis）的核型为2n＝2x＝58＝26m＋28sm 4st;窄头橐吾（L.stenocephala）的核型为2n=2x=58=26m 32sm;细茎橐吾（L.hookeri）的核型为2n=2x=58=30m 26sm 2st;宽戟橐吾（Llatihastata）的核型为2n=2x=58=28m 26sm(2sat) 4st;网脉橐吾（L.dictyoneura）的核型为2n=2x=58=26m 28sm 2st 2t;蹄橐吾（L.hodgsonii）的核型为2n=2x=58=28m 28sm 2t;棉毛橐吾（L.vellerea）的核型为2n=2x=58=22cm 34sm 2t。虽然这7个种的染色体数目相同,2n=58,核型主要是由m和sm染色体构成,但各类的染色体数目在种间有差异。核的对称性高,着丝点端值（T．C）为61．45％－64．96％。除窄头橐吾和鹿蹄橐吾的染色体数与前人报道的相同外,其它5个种的染色体数目和核型为首次报道。     

七种菊科植物SSR标记在大黄橐吾和奇形橐吾杂交区类群中的通用性检测

牦牛山橐吾(Ligularia×maoniushanensis)是大黄橐吾(L.duciformis)和奇形橐吾(L.paradoxa)的一个自然杂交种。为了研究大黄橐吾和奇形橐吾杂交区类群的杂交关系和遗传结构,本研究利用两个杂交区杂交种及亲本的94个个体,从来自橐吾属、大吴风草属、千里光属和向日葵属7个种中已开发的145对核SSR引物进行筛选。结果表明在所研究的三个类群中至少能在其中一个类群中成功扩增的位点有54个,都能扩增的位点17个。在这17个位点中,牦牛山橐吾中11个位点具多态性,每个位点有2~14个等位基因,平均为4.8个,观测杂合度和期望杂合度分别为0.053~1.000和0.051~0.887;大黄橐吾中9个位点有多态性,每个位点有3~12个等位基因,平均为7.4个,观测杂合度和期望杂合度分别为0.200~0.971和0.283~0.844;奇形橐吾中10个位点有多态性,每个位点具4~15个等位基因,平均为7.6个,观测杂合度的值为0.025~0.974,期望杂合度的值为0.097~0.846。以上结果对大黄橐吾和奇形橐吾杂交区类群的杂交程度和遗传结构的进一步研究有重要作用。     

棉毛橐吾和穗序橐吾的自然杂交研究

在棉毛橐吾（Ligulariavellerea）和穗序橐吾（L．subspicata）同域分布的居群中存在形态特征介于两者之间的个体。经分析,这些个体有3种不同的形态类型,可能是这两个物种之间的杂交后代。为检验这一假设,对所采集的假设亲本和中间个体材料进行了核糖体内转录间隔区ITS4—5和叶绿体atpB．rbcL测序。假设杂交个体的ITS直接测序结果具明显的叠加性,之后的克隆测序也分离出两种与假设亲本种相同的序列类型．因此。这些假设杂交个体得到了证实。据母系遗传的叶绿体atpB—rbcL测序结果,穗序橐吾同是它们的质体贡献者,即虽然这些杂交个体具不同的形态特征,但都是以棉毛橐吾和穗序橐吾为亲本且以穗序橐吾为质体贡献者的杂交后代。     

假橐吾属(菊科：千里光族)的核形态研究

首次发表假橐吾属Ligulariopsis Y．L．Chen的核形态研究结果。染色体间期为复杂型,前期染色体为中间型。染色体长度从2．70μm到4．70μm,平均长度为3．62μm,无明显的二型性;核型公式为2n=58=34m+18am(2sat)+6st,核型类型属于2A 。假橐吾属的核型和蟹甲草属与橐吾属相似,但假橐吾属具有较多的亚中部、中部着丝点染色体。     

掌叶橐吾挥发油化学成分分析

掌叶橐吾[Ligularia przewalskii (Maxim.)Diels]为菊科(Compositae)橐吾属(Ligularia Cass.)植物,多年生草本,高30～130 cm,生于海拔1 100～3 700 m的河滩、山麓、林缘、林下及灌丛,产四川、青海、甘肃、宁夏、陕西、山西和内蒙古[1].橐吾属植物药用种类较多,有止咳化痰、活血化瘀、清热解毒、催吐、利尿、利胆退黄等功效[2],许多种类的根及根茎作为中药"紫菀"使用或作为其代用品.掌叶橐吾的根可用于化痰、止咳、平喘,在青海,甘肃天水和文县,陕西宝鸡、眉县和太白等地为当地所习用[3,4].     

铁线莲属铁线莲组修订

对毛茛科铁线莲属(Clematis)中单型的翅果铁线莲组(sect. Pterocarpa)进行了分类学修订,写出了此组及其惟一种,翅果铁线莲(C. brachyura)的分类学简史和形态描述,给出此种的插图。根据其体态及花构造近似亚洲东部的辣蓼铁线莲(C. mandshurica Rupr.)和圆锥铁线莲(C. terniflora DC.)[二种均为威灵仙组(sect. Clematis)的成员],推测翅果铁线莲可能源自威灵仙组。     

福贡银莲花(毛茛科)与光叶银莲花属于同一分类实体

通过标本检查,发现福贡银莲花(Anemone yulongshanica W.T.Wang var.glabrescens W.T.Wang)(毛茛科)与光叶银莲花(A.obtusiloba D.Don ssp.leiophylla W.T.Wang)没有本质区别,应属于同一分类实体,故将前者处理为后者的异名。     

金花小檗与滇小檗的名实问题

Léveillé在1911年发表了小檗科滇小檗(Berberis bodinieri Lévl.)(新拟),但在原始文献中未说明其模式标本收藏处,并且在之后的一个世纪里,世界小檗属主要分类学文献都未收载该种。2014年,作者在英国皇家爱丁堡植物园标本馆(E)找到了滇小檗模式标本。之后,通过比较滇小檗和古宗金花小檗的模式标本及其原始文献,发现在枝条具棱,叶片为匙形或倒卵状匙形,花序为总状花序或近伞形花序,果实近球形或扁球形、红色、顶端具明显宿存花柱等主要分类学特征上,滇小檗与古宗金花小檗基本一致。因此,将滇小檗归并入古宗金花小檗。     

Micromorphological and chemical characterisation of Stachys recta L. subsp. serpentini (Fiori) Arrigoni in comparison to Stachys recta L. subsp. recta (Lamiaceae)

Stachys recta L. is a very polymorphous species in which numerous subspecies were recognised. S. recta L. subsp. serpentini (Fiori) Arrigoni is a typical endemism growing on serpentine soils in northern Apennines and particularly in Tuscany (Italy). In order to contribute to a better knowledge of this plant and to its differentiation with respect to S. recta L. subsp. recta, the micromorphological characters (non-glandular and glandular trichomes) and the essential oil composition of the two subspecies were investigated. Micromorphological characters were studied using scanning and transmission electron microscopy, while light microscopy was used for histochemical observations. Essential oil analysis was carried out by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry.In the two examined taxa, the morphology and distribution of glandular and non-glandular trichomes, and the different essential oil composition, may be considered distinctive characters at subspecies level. This is consistent with the taxonomic classification considering S. recta subsp. serpentini a subordinate taxon of S. recta.     

A review of the systematics of the sleeper shark genus Somniosus with redescriptions of Somniosus ( Somniosus) antarcticus and Somniosus ( Rhinoscymnus) longus (Squaliformes: Somniosidae)

Past treatments of the sleeper shark genus Somniosus generally recognize three species: S. microcephalus, S. pacificus, and S. rostratus. Based on morphometrics and meristics, we conclude that this genus includes two subgenera (Somniosus and Rhinoscymnus) and five species. Subgenus Somniosus differs from Rhinoscymnus by being much larger when adult and in having more numerous tooth rows in the lower jaw, hooklike rather than leaf-shaped dermal denticles, more numerous spiral valve and vertebral counts, and a poorly calcified vertebral column. Subgenus Somniosus includes S. (Somniosus) microcephalus and S. (S.) pacificus of the Northern Hemisphere and S. (S.) antarcticus of the Southern Hemisphere. Although Somniosus antarcticus has been synonymized with S. microcephalus and identified as S. pacificus in past literature, it differs from S. microcephalus in having a shorter interdorsal space, a more posterior first dorsal fin, lower dorsal fins, more numerous tooth rows in the lower jaw, more numerous spiral valve counts, and fewer precaudal vertebrae. Somniosus antarcticus also differs from S. pacificus by having a shorter prebranchial length, lower dorsal fins, more numerous spiral valve counts, and slightly more precaudal vertebrae. Subgenus Rhinoscymnus includes S. (Rhinoscymnus) rostratus from the eastern North Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea (senior synonym of S. bauchotae) and S. (R.) longus from the western Pacific Ocean. Somniosus longus has been synonymized with S. rostratus, but differs in having a relatively longer second dorsal fin, a slightly larger eye, more lower tooth rows, and slightly higher spiral valve counts. Both Somniosus (Somniosus) antarcticus and S. (Rhinoscymnus) longus from the Pacific Ocean were redescribed. A key to the species and the geographical distribution of all species are provided.     

Impact of Crown Rust (Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae) on Competitive Interactions between Wild Oats (Avena fatua) and Stipa (Nassella pulchra)

Crown rust of oats (Puccinia coronata f. sp. avenae) was investigated as a biocontrol agent for wild oats (Avena fatua) on San Clemente Island, California. Successful restoration of the native habitats of this island will involve the reduction of wild oats and revegetation with native grasses such as stipa (Nassella pulchra). Determination of the outcome of interference between wild oats and stipa is important in the prediction of the success of the biocontrol agent. An addition series design was used to investigate these interactions, with densities of each species ranging from 0 to 2000 seeds per m². Eight replicates were established, four of which were randomly chosen and infected with the pathogen. After 75 days, plant height, dry weight, and seed production were measured. The data were fit to a hyperbola surface model by use of a nonlinear regression procedure. Results indicate that wild oat is the superior competitor at the seedling stage; however, early rust infection greatly reduces fitness of wild oats, causing an increased fitness for stipa. Simulations with a plant community model constructed from the results of the greenhouse experiment and information in the literature indicated that an equilibrium may be established between wild oat and stipa if high initial seeding rates of stipa are used in revegetation.     

刺孢小克银汉霉原变种和轮生刺孢小克银汉霉变种(新组合)

刺孢小克银汉霉[Cunninghamella echinulata(Thaxt.) Thaxt. ex Blakeslce]是小克银汉霉属的模式种,多年来因不同作者是否将贝尼尔小克银汉霉(C. bainieri Naum.)包含在内而对此种持广义(sensu lato)或狭义(scnsu stricto)的不同理解。我们在国内分离到51株刺孢小克银汉霉(广义)菌种,经与获自css的7株菌(包括刺孢小克银汉霉的模式菌种在内)和IMI的1株菌(原定名称均为刺孢小克银汉霉)一起研究后,根据它们的无性型形态特征有明显不同但在配合试验中又可互相配合形成可育的接合孢子的结果,认为将它们处理为同一个种的两个不同变种较为合理.其中,13株中国的菌和3株CBS及IMI的菌被鉴定为刺孢小克银汉霉原变种(C. echinulata var. echinulata);其余的38株中国的菌和5株CBS的菌被鉴定为轮生刺孢小克银汉霉变种(新组合)[C. echinulata var. verticillata (F. S. Paine.) comb. nov.j.以‘轮生(verticillata)’作为新组合变种的加词是根据与贝尼尔小克银汉霉同物异名的‘轮生布拉小克银汉霉(C. blakesleeana var. verticillata (F. S. Paine) Baijal & B. S. Mchrotra)’而来的.在前人的工作中,对刺孢小克银汉霉持狭义理解的作者往往根据孢子枝的分枝方式、巨型暗色孢子的有无、以及40℃能否生长来区分这两个分类群.对刺孢小克银汉霉持广义理解的作者则认为这些特性毫无意义.我们同意后面两个特性意义不大,因为二者的许多菌系都能形成巨型暗色袍子并在40℃生长,但认为孢子枝分枝方式确实是区别这两个分类群的重要依据.此外,根据产孢构造的种类、孢子枝主枝的直径、孢子枝第一次分枝的数目、分枝长度、孢子枝主枝的顶生泡囊形状以及其直径等性状综合考虑,这两个分类群是不难明确区分的,对12株刺孢小克银汉霉原变种和13株轮生刺孢小克银汉霉相互之间所进行的配合试验结果表明,在具一定性亲和力的(+)、(一)菌系同时存在时,两个变种内和变种之间均可形成可育的接合孢子。对上述三种配合的各六对菌所形成的有性型形态的研究结果则表明,除轮生刺孢小克银汉霉变种内形成的接合孢子的壁往往较厚外,各种配合形成的有性型形态基本上是一致的.我们研究组的其他成员最近曾对小克银汉霉的22株菌进行了rDNA的ITS区的PCR产物长度测定,其中包括了刺孢小克银汉霉原变种和轮生刺孢小克银汉霉变种的各3株菌,它们的平均长度(bp)分别为890±7.5和915±7.6.这个结果也支持了我们在这两个分类群可以互相配合的情况下仍将它们作为两个不同变种的处理.这两个分类群虽然已被发表多次,但它们的描述和绘图均过于简单而未能充分显示出它们的区别性特征,因此我们在本文中再次作了描述并再次提供了详尽的线条图和显微照相.     

Fitness consequences of hybridization between house sparrows (Passer domesticus) and tree sparrows (P. montanus)

Gene transfer may occur following hybridization between closely related species if hybrids are viable and able to breed with individuals of one or both of the parental species. House (Passer domesticus) and tree sparrows (P. montanus) occasionally hybridize and produce viable offspring. Previously, we concluded that male tree × house sparrow hybrids are most probably fertile based on the observation of a male F1 hybrid feeding the nestlings with a female house sparrow in two consecutive clutches. However, recent DNA analyses based on blood samples revealed that all nestlings (4) in the first clutch were sired by a neighbouring house sparrow male, whereas nestlings in the second clutch (2) were not blood sampled and most probably died before fledging. This indicates that extensive extra-pair fertilization confounded our previous conclusion, and indicates that social partnership and attending behaviour can be imprecise measures of paternity.     

Acaricidal activity of the essential oil from Tetradenia riparia (Lamiaceae) on the cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari; Ixodidae)

Tetradenia riparia (Lamiaceae) is a well-known herbal medicine with a variety of useful properties, including its acaricidal effect. This experiment was carried out to study the bioacaricidal activity of T. riparia essential oil (EO) against engorged females of Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus (Acari; Ixodidae). For this purpose, nine serial concentrations (12.50%, 6.25%, 3.75%, 1.80%, 0.90%, 0.45%, 0.22%, 0.11%, and 0.056% w/v) of T. riparia were used for the adult immersion test (AIT). For the larval packet test (LPT), we used 14 serial concentrations (100.00%, 50.00%, 25.00%, 12.50%, 6.25%, 3.65%, 1.82%, 0.91%, 0.45%, 0.228%, 0.114%, 0.057%, 0.028%, and 0.014% w/v). The results for AIT showed 100.00% and 2.05% mortality, 19.00 and 90.20% for the total number of eggs, egg-laying inhibition of 0.00% and 90.20%, hatchability inhibition of 0.00% and 70.23%, and product effectiveness of 100.00% and 2.89%, respectively. The AIT indicated that the LC₅₀ and LC_99.9, calculated using the Probit test, were for mortality (%) 0.534 g/mL (0.436–0.632) and 1.552 g/mL (1.183–1.92); for total number of eggs were 0.449 g/mL (0.339–0.558) and 1.76 g/mL (1.27–2.248); and for hatchability inhibition were 0.114 g/mL (0.0–0.31) and 2.462 g/mL (1.501–3.422), respectively. Larvae between 14 and 21 days old were fasted and placed in each envelope. Bioassays were performed at 27° ± 1 °C, RH ? 80%. Larval mortality was observed 24 h after treatment and showed 10.60–100% mortality in the LPT bioassay. The LPT showed that the LC₅₀ and LC_99.9 were 1.222 g/mL (0.655–1.788) and 11.382 g/mL (7.84–14.91), respectively. A positive correlation between T. riparia EO concentration and tick control, was observed by the strong acaricidal effects against R. (B.) microplus, and the mortality rate of ticks was dose-dependent. Our results showed that T. riparia is a promising candidate as an acaricide against resistant strains of R. (B.) microplus.     

Phylogenetic relationships of Ceratitis fruit flies inferred from nuclear CAD and tango/ARNT gene fragments: Testing monophyly of the subgenera Ceratitis (Ceratitis) and C. (Pterandrus)

Systematic studies of Ceratitis (Tephritidae) fruit flies using molecular (i.e., COI, ND6, and period genes) and morphological (plus host-use characters) data have recently challenged the monophyly of the subgenera Ceratitis (Ceratitis) and Ceratitis (Pterandrus). In this paper, we report on the phylogenetic utility of three single-copy nuclear gene regions (two non-overlapping fragments of the carbamoylphosphate synthetase, CPS, locus of CAD, and a fragment of tango) within these taxa and investigate evolutionary relationships based on a concatenated ca. 3.4 kb data set that includes the six protein encoding gene regions. Results indicate that the CAD and tango genes provide useful phylogenetic signal within the taxa and are compatible with the previously studied genes. The two subgenera, as currently classified, are not monophyletic. Our molecular phylogenetic analyses support a revised classification in which (1) the subgenus C. (Pterandrus) comprises two lineages called A and B, (2) the C. (Pterandrus) B species should be included in C. (Ceratitis), and (3) the newly defined subgenera C. (Pterandrus) (=Pterandrus section A) and C. (Ceratitis) [=C. (Ceratitis) + C. (Pterandrus) section B] are reciprocally monophyletic.
