基部被子植物雪香兰（金粟兰科）单性花的形态发生和发育

基部被子植物金粟兰科（Chloranthaceae）的单性花或两性花结构十分简单,雪香兰（Hedyosmum orientale）花单性、雌雄异株,花的形态及结构与其它属物种具有显著的差异,对于研究被子植物花特别是花被的起源和系统进化具有重要意义。该研究采用电子显微镜和光学显微镜观察了雪香兰单性花的器官发生及发育过程。结果表明,雌、雄花均为顶生和腋生,多个小花呈聚伞圆锥状排列。雄花外侧是苞片,每朵雄花上着生150–200个雄蕊,花轴基部着生少数退化的叶原体。苞片原基及其腋生的花原基最初呈圆丘状,随后伸长。在雄花发育过程中,苞片原基比雄蕊原基生长快,雄花原基纵向伸长,叶原体原基在基部发生,雄蕊原基自下而上发生。每2朵雌花底部合生形成小聚伞花序,每朵雌花被一苞叶包裹,由单心皮和三棱型子房构成,外覆三裂叶状花被。在雌花发育过程中,雌花原基比苞片原基生长快,花被原基首先于花顶端发生,随后花顶端中心凹陷,进一步发育成具有单心皮的子房原基。雪香兰的单性花发育不经过两性同体阶段,花分生组织只起始雄蕊器官或雌蕊器官的发育。研究结果支持雪香兰单性花是原始性状的观点,雄花叶原体与雌花三裂叶状花被同源,可能是花被（萼片与花瓣）的起源。     

Karyotypes of Sarcandra Gardn. and Chloranthus Swartz (Chloranthaceae) from China

Two species of Sarcandra and nine of Chloranthus in the Chloranthaceae from China were investigated cytologically. The basic chromosome number of both genera is x=15. In Sarandra the two species studied are diploid, and in Chloranthus seven species are diploid, one tetraploid ( C. fortune;, 2n = 60) and one hexaploid (C. henryi, 2n = 90). Chromosomes are medium-small to small, ranging in length from c . 6.0 μm to 1.O μ m. The katyotype formulas are as follow: S. glabra 2 n= 10m+ 10sm + 8st + 2stc; & hainanensvs 2n = 8m+ 12sm + 8st+2st^sat; C. spicatus 2n=12m+8sm + 6st + 4st^sat; C. erectus 2n= 12m + 4sm+ 12st + 2st^sat; C. serratus 2n=16m + 12sm + 2st^sat; C. sessilifolius 2n= 14m + 8sm + 6st+2st^sat; C. nervvosus 2n = 8m + 4sm + 6st + 2st^sat; C. angustfolius 2n = 20m + 6sm + 2sm^sat+ 2st^sat; C. japonicus 2n = 18m + 8sm + 4st^sat; C. fortunei 2n= 48m+4sm + 4st + 4st^sat. Karyotype asymmetries are of type 3B in C. erectus and C. nervosus and 2B in the other species. Based on these results, combined with the evidence from comparative morphology, anatomy, palynology and embryology, the relationship between Sarcandra and Chloranthus is discussed.

Pollination of Sarcandra glabra (Chloranthaceae) in Natural Populations in Japan

Sarcandra glabra was investigated in its natural habitat in Japan. Flowers were protogynous and stigma receptivity dropped off significantly following anther dehiscence. Female-stage and bisexual-stage flowers were visited by beetles, bees, hemiptera, flies, and rarely ants that foraged for pollen and/or small droplets of liquid that occasionally were secreted by the carpels and inflorescence axes. At least the beetles, bees, and hemiptera commonly touched the stigmas and likely effected pollination. Flowers were self-compatible, and automatic selfing sometimes occurred when pollen fell from apical flowers onto the stigmas of lower flowers.

Floral organogenesis of Chloranthus sessilifolius, with special emphasis on the morphological nature of the androecium of Chloranthus (Chloranthaceae)

 Floral organogenesis of Chloranthus sessilifolius K. F. Wu is described. The inflorescence primordium is dome-like in the beginning and then elongates, and bract primordia initiate almost decussately. Each floral primordium, arising from the axil of a bract, soon becomes a scale-like structure, with three primordia of androecial lobes originating from its abaxial part, and the gynoecial primordium in adaxial position. As the androecial lobes become more distinct, four thecae are already in differentiation, and the gynoecial primordium appears as a shallow disc. The androecial lobes do not extend their length until the thecae approach maturity and the stigma is differentiated. The androecial lobes are united at all the stages of development, and the entire androecium falls off as a unit at the end of anthesis. Based on these results, combined with published evidence from neobotany, palaeobotany and phylogenetic studies, the morphological nature of the androecium of Chloranthus is further discussed. Our studies support the viewpoint that the androecial structure of Chloranthus may have arisen by splitting of a single stamen with 2 marginal thecae.

Characterization of candidate class A,B and E floral homeotic genes from the perianthless basal angiosperm <Emphasis Type="Italic">Chloranthus spicatus</Emphasis> (Chloranthaceae)

The classic ABC model explains the activities of each class of floral homeotic genes in specifying the identity of floral organs. Thus, changes in these genes may underlay the origin of floral diversity during evolution. In this study, three MADS-box genes were isolated from the perianthless basal angiosperm Chloranthus spicatus. Sequence and phylogenetic analyses revealed that they are AP1-like, AP3-like and SEP3-like genes, and hence these genes were termed CsAP1, CsAP3 and CsSEP3, respectively. Due to these assignments, they represent candidate class A, class B and class E genes, respectively. Expression patterns suggest that the CsAP1, CsAP3 and CsSEP3 genes function during flower development of C. spicatus. CsAP1 is expressed broadly in the flower, which may reflect the ancestral function of SQUA-like genes in the specification of inflorescence and floral meristems rather than in patterning of the flower. CsAP3 is exclusively expressed in male floral organs, providing the evidence that AP3-like genes have ancestral function in differentiation between male and female reproductive organs. CsSEP3 expression is not detectable in spike meristems, but its mRNA accumulates throughout the flower, supporting the view that SEP-like genes have conserved expression pattern and function throughout angiosperm. Studies of synonymous vs nonsynonymous nucleotide substitutions indicate that these genes have not evolved under changes in evolutionary forces. All the data above suggest that the genes may have maintained at least some ancestral functions despite the lack of perianth in the flowers of C. spicatus. Nucleotide sequences data from this article have been deposited with the EMBL/GenBank Data Libraries under accession numbers AY316311, AY397762 and AY379963.     

Chemical constituents from Scutellaria hainanensis C. Y. Wu

Seventeen compounds were obtained from the extract of the whole plant of Scutellaria hainanensis C. Y. Wu. Including eleven flavonoids (1–4 and 7–13), two phenylpropanoids (16 and 17), one pyridinium derivative (5), one ester (6), one phenolic derivative (14), and one lignanoid (15). Compound 5 was a synthetic intermediate, newly identified as a natural product. The chemotaxonomic relationship between S. hainanensis C. Y. Wu and other species of genus Scutellaria were also discussed. As a result, the isolated glycoside compounds closely matched the ones obtained in other species of the genus.

Notes on the Genus Prismatomeris Thw. (Rubiaceae) of China

In the classification of J. D. Hooker (1873) and of K. Schumann (1891), the genus Prismatomeris Thw. is included in the tribe Morindeae of Rubiaceae. In the modern classifications, e. g. Bremekamp (1966), however, the taxonomic position of the genus is still uncertain. The genus agrees with the tribe Morindeae in the downward radicle, valvate aestivation of the corolla lobes and presence of raphides, but it differs significantly from the latter in the free flowers, bilocular ovary and the peltate ovule attached to the upper half of septum. Therefore, it would be more suitable that the genus is separated from the tribe Morindeae Miq., and is raised to the rank of tribe, placed in the subfamily Rubioideae based on Bremekamp’s delimitation. In the present paper ten character pairs of the genus and the notes on their taxonomic value are presented and two following species are recognized: 1. P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schum. is found in northern India. Its subspecies, which is distributed in Yunnan of China and in Thailand, was previously called P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schumann, and is now revised as P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schum. subsp. multiflora (Ridley) Y. Z. Ruan. 2. P. connata Y.Z. Ruan is described as a new species, that has been treated as P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schum. by previous auth rs. It is native to the subtropic region of South China. Its tropical new subspecies, P. connata. Y. Z. Ruan subsp. hainanensis Y. Z. Ruan, is found on Hainan Island.
