我国特有植物银杉的资源、分布及其环境

我国银杉自1955年发现以来,陆续发现了它的新分布,至今已知在四省、区7个分布区的30多个分布点上,自然生长着银杉3200余株。它们是:广西花坪林区(越城岭南部)6个点有银杉1040抹,其中高5米以上的68株,1～5米的49株,1米以下的923株,最高21.1米,最大胸径83厘米;广西大瑶山4个点有银杉143株,其中高10米以上的94株,1～3米的3株,1米以下的46株,最高30米,最大胸径79.2厘米;湖南罗汉洞(越城岭北部)2个点有银杉58株,5米以上的有45株,最高18米,最大胸径43厘米;湖南罗霄山脉八面山有银杉707株,高1米以上的334株,最高24米,最大胸径46厘米;四川南川金佛山(大娄山东段北部)6个点有银杉527株,其中成年树400余株,最高17米,最大胸径50厘米;百枝山有银杉52株,最高8米,最大胸径27厘米;贵州道真沙河林区(大娄山东段南部)3处12个点有银杉729株,其中高5米以上的105株,2～5米的209株,1～2米的111株,1米以下的304株,最高18.8米,最大胸径48厘米;贵州桐梓白菁有银杉10株,高4～5米的2株,1～3米的6株,1米以下的2株。 银杉分布区范围自北纬24°5′～29°13′14″,东经107°10′～113°40′。其垂直分布自海拔940～1840米,金佛山银杉分布最高,为1600～1840米;罗汉洞银杉分布最低,为940～1060米。分布区内,年均温8.2°～17℃,绝对最低温     

Study of Netural Tritetpenes Components on Trunk of Cathaya argyrophylla Chun et Kuang Native to China

A prelimimary investigation on neutral triterpene components of Cathaya argyrophylla Chun et Kuang trunk is reported. Seven crystalline components had been isolated from trunk of C. argyrophylla, six of them had been identified as known serratene famlly components: Cathaya B (3α-methoxy-21-keto serratene). Cathaya C [serratenediol monoaeetate (3β-acetyl-21a-hydroxy-△14-serratene)], Cathaya D (serratenedio), Cathaya E (compound [D]), Cathaya F (3β-hydroxy-21-keto-△14-serratene) and cathaya G (serratenedione). Cathaya H seems to be a new serratene family component. Its structure will be studied further.     

松科系统发育的分子生物学证据

运用PCR方法分别从松科8属、9种植物中扩增出一长约2550bp的cpDNA片段,这一片段包括rbcL、trnR、部分accD及基因间的非编码区(相对于黑松cpDNA中的同源片段而言)。运用18种限制性内切酶对这一cpDNA片段进行酶切分析,共获得86个酶切位点,其中54个为变异位点。运用PAUP(version 3．1．1)和Mega(version 1．01)软件对数据进行分析,结果Wagner简约树和Neighbor-Joining树反映出的松科系统发育关系基本一致：银杉属、松属、黄杉属和落叶松属形成一个单系群,且银杉属与松属的亲缘关系更近于与另外二属的关系,但这一结果未得到Bootstrap分析的较强支持;落叶松属近缘于黄杉属;冷杉属近缘于油杉属。此外,松科中的冷杉亚科和落叶松亚科均不是单系类群,将松科划分为冷杉亚科、落叶松亚科和松亚科三个亚科的系统(郑万钧,傅立国,1978)是不自然的。     

A Priliminary Study on the Cathaya Mixed Forest in Jinfushan Sichuan

The famous “living fossil”—Cathaya argyrophylla was distributed at high norther nlatitudes during the Tertiary time, but now exists only loccally in a very restricted range in the south region of China. The Cathaya forest of Jinfushan is in fair preservation and has more abundance than others, where we made investigation in 1978. This paper deals with an approach to the environmental Condition, forestry nature, com- munity charactor and dynamics of Cathaya forest in Jinfushan. Being highly intolerant, Cathaya requires drier and exposed sites on the mountain ridge and rocky cliff, but is cannot compete successfully with broad leaved trees under moister sites. From sampling at a number of points within community, the relative frequency, relative density and relative dominance of each tree species were determined, the results show the importance values: Cathaya argyrophylla 120.55; Fagus lucida 80.54; Cyclobalanopsis glauca 37.74; Acanthopanax evodiaefolius 37.01; Ilex franchetiana 24.16. Base on the measurements of community similarity coefficient the Cathaya mixed forest is more similar to evergreen broad leaved forest in surrounding neighbors than Cathaya mixed forests in the other areas, through analysis of the population dynamics the regeneration of seedlings of Cathaya are very few at understory condition, in the cause of time, the Cathaya mixed forest will gradually change to forest dominated by some more tolerant broad leaved trees. Finally, some problems of relic character of Cathaya ar.e discussed as follow: 1. two refuges; 2. the relic nature of dominant species; 3. the similarity of each other in habitat; 4. the hereditary character less adapted with present environment; 5. the low breeding potential and endangered state. Because of south relic species will eventually perish through competition between species, therefore, it is necessary to do a better job in the protection. As same time, in order to change this weakened natural condition the positive action is needed to promote growth of regenerative seedlings as wall as strength management of young trees and scientific research of breeding.     

On serratene components in relation to the systematic position of Cathaya (Pinaceae)

Abstract The genus Cathaya discovered in Kwangsi, Sichuan, Hunan and Guizhou is endemic in China. Only one species (C. argyrophylla Chun et Kuang) has so far been known in the genus. The question on it’s systematic position in the family Pinaceae has been much debated. However, according to some taxonomists and morphologists, this genus is related to genera Pinus, Picea and Pseudotsuga of the Pinaceae. No phytochemical data, especially of serratene components on Cathaya have been recorded. This paper deals with the systematic position of Cathaya in Pinaceae based on seven known components of serratene family which are isolated from the trunk of Cathaya argyrophyua growing in Sichuan. A comparative study on serratene components of Cathaya with other genera ofPinaceae showed that Cathaya is related to genera Pinus and Picea.     

Studies on the Cathaya Communities

Cathaya argyrophylla in China is generally referred as a “living fossil.” Cathaya was widely distributed in Eurasia during the Tertiary, but is now confined to central and east central China where it exhibits a scattered distribution. Field observations were made in Jinfushan (29˚ N; 107˚10′E), Sichuan Province, in 1978 and in the Huaping Forest District (25˚31′10″— 25˚39′36″N; 109 ˚48′54″—l09˚58′2″E), Guangxi Province, in 1979. In this paper the composition and structure of these interesting communities, their environment, as well as some changes within the communities are discussed. The Cathaya mixed communities contain 88 species of higher plants, 28 species of mosses, and two species of lichens. Among the higher plants 65 species (74%) are endemic to China, 23 species have a Sino-Japanese distributional pattern, and a few are Sino-Southeasr Asian dements. According to the coefficient of similarity of the components, differences in the bedrock underlying these forests, and dominant species, these communities can be divided into two different Cathaya mixed communities. Based on Raunkiar’s classification of life form, the phanerophytes rank first in both types of Cathaya communities (Figure 1) amounting to 89.9% and 81.3% in each com munity. These communities are different from temperate coniferous forests, which contain high percentages of hemicryptophytes. The dynamics of the communities are discussed.     

中国特有植物银杉林的现状和未来

银杉是我国特有的珍稀植物,仅在四川、贵州、湖南和广西四省区残存。其地理分布可归结为大娄 山、越城岭、八面山和大瑶山等4个集积地。现有的银杉林全部为混交林．主要有7个类型：银杉-甜槠混交林、银杉-石栎混交林、银杉-亮叶桦混交林、银杉- 广东五针松混交林、银杉- 长苞铁杉混交林、银杉- 大明松 混交林及银杉- 南方铁杉- 福建柏混交林。银杉处于优势地位、群落相对稳定,但银杉更新不良。在自然演替 中,阔叶树种的入侵对银杉构成严重威胁,最终将会取代银杉。为了保护银杉,在林地对阔叶树进行透光伐,在林窗人工移植银杉幼苗幼树是必要的。     

广西大瑶山的银杉研究

银杉自1955年首次在广西花坪林区发现之后,时隔30多年,而于1986年在大瑶山土县,即北纬24°9′—24°24′发现了银杉的新分布,从而把我国银杉的分布区向南推移了约1°30′,成为目前已知银杉地理分布的最南界。大瑶山的银杉不但植株高大,树干圆满通直,而且在水平、垂直分布、生境条件和所处林带等方面均与各地的分布点有明显的不同。 大瑶山银杉的上层林木以松科为主,中下层以壳斗科、樟科和山茶科占优势。按照Raunkia生活型分类系统的分类结果,常绿成分和革质叶占绝对优势(分别占98.1％和90.4％)。革质叶和细型叶常绿针叶大高位芽植物是群落的主要成分;单叶、革质、小型叶和中型叶的常绿阔叶中高位芽和小商位芽植物在中下层发育最好。根据样地内幼苗幼树少,和缺乏中下层林木的事实表明,它在群落中的稳定已受到严重的影响。在样地外和其他林地上,虽可见到少量中下层林木和幼苗幼树,但从群落的发展趋势来看,这里的银杉混交林最终要由常绿阔叶林所更替。 本文亦根据树干解析论述了银杉的生长情况。 1981—1982年大瑶山综考后,金秀瑶族自治县林业局和国营金秀林场,在进行杯区树种资源调查时,在县城东北方约15公里,地名为土县一带天然林中,首先发现了银杉(Cathaya argyro-phylla Chun et Kuang)。从1986年开始     

A comparative study of the leaves of Cat hay a argyrophylla Chun & Kuang and three species of Keteleeria Carrière

Details of the cuticular, epidermal and anatomical features of the leaves of Cathaya argyrophylla Chun & Kuang, are described and compared with those of three species of Keteleeria (K. davidiana (Bertrand) Beissner, K. fortunei (Murray) Carriere, and K. chien-peii Flous). The study supports the creation of Cathaya Chun & Kuang as a new genus of the Pinaceae.     

湖南省越城岭北部罗汉洞的银杉与长苞铁杉混交林

银杉(Cathaya argyrophylla)是第三纪残遗植物,在当时曾广泛分布于欧亚大陆后在第四纪冰川期遭到浩劫而濒临灭绝[1—3]。由于我国南方山地具有得天独厚的地史条件,近年来不断发现幸存的银杉林,迄今已发现广西,湖南、四川及贵州省(区)拥有天然银杉。湖南省于1979年10月在越城岭北部,城步县与新宁县交邻的罗汉洞(沙角洞、乱岩洞)发现1)。位置为北纬26˚33′10″,东经110˚36′32″。先后于1979年10月,1981年4月2),1981年8月进行了三次调查,本文系在此三次调查的基础上写成。     

Mapping the distribution of the telomeric sequence (T2AG3)n in the Macropodoidea (Marsupialia) by fluorescence in situ hybridization. II. The ancestral 2n = 22 macropodid karyotype

In marsupial karyotypes with little heterochromatin, the telomeric sequence (T(2)AG(3))(n), is involved in chromosome rearrangements. Here we compare the distribution of the (T(2)AG(3))(n) sequence in chromosomes recently derived by fusions and other rearrangements (7-0.5 MYBP) with its distribution in chromosomes derived earlier (24-9 MYBP). We have previously shown that the (T(2)AG(3))(n) sequence is consistently retained during chromosome rearrangements that are recent (7-0.5 MYBP). We suggest that in less recent rearrangements (24-9 MYBP) the pattern observed is initial retention followed by loss or amplification. We also suggest that the presence of interstitial (T(2)AG(3))(n) sequence is related to the evolutionary status of single chromosomes rather than entire karyotypes.     

Supernumerary chromosomes in the karyotype of the Siberian spruce, P. obovata

Results of karyological study of ornamental forms of Picea obovata Ledeb. are presented. Typical chromosome number (2n) is 24, but some trees have one or two additional chromosomes (2n = 24 + 1B; 2n = 24 + 2B). Heritability of additional chromosomes, pollen fertility, morphological features of cones, and seed quality in trees with and without additional chromosomes were studied. System of B-chromosomes is of importance for population and species adaptation and possibly plays a role in adaptation of P. obovata under introduction.     

Karyotypes of the Genus Fritillaria from South Anhui

This paper reports chromosome numbers and karyotypes of five species of the genus Fritillaria from south Anhui. The origin of the material used in this work is provided in Table 1, micrographs of mitotic metaphase in Plate 1,2, and the parameters of chromosomes in Table 2. Except F. thunbergii Miq., the karyotypes and chromosome numbers of all the species in this paper were studied for the first time. The results are shown as follows: 1. Fritillaria qimenensis D. C. Zhang et J. Z. Shao Collected from Qimen, Anhui, it has the karyotype formula 2n = 24+4Bs = 3m+lsm+8st (2sc)+12t (2sc)+4Bs (Plate 1:1, 2). The chromosomes range in length 8.72-19.13μm, with the ratio of the longest to the shortest 2.19. Therefore, the karyotype belongs to Stebbins’ (1971) 3B. The secondary constrictions are found on the long arms of 7th and 10th pairs. All the five B-chromosomes are of terminal centromeres. The two chromosomes of the second pair show heteromorphy (Fig. 1, E) with arm ratios 1.86 and 1.56 respectively. 2. Fritillaria monantha Miq. var. tonglingensis S. C. Chen et S. F. Yin Collected from Tongling, Anhui, this species is shown to have three chromosome numbers, 2n =24+5Bs, 2n=24+2Bs and 2n=24. This paper reports 2 cytotypes: Type I: 2n = 24+5Bs = 4m+8st (2sc) +12t (2sc) +5Bs (Plate 1: 3, 4). The chromosomes range in length from 10.40 to 22.19μm, with the ratio of the longest to the shortest 2.13. It belongs to 3B of stebbins’(1971) karyotypic symmetry. The secondary constrictions are found on the short arms of 7th and the long arms of 9th chromosome pairs. The metacentric B-chromosomes and the small satellites located on the short arms are major characters of this cytotype. Type II: 2n=24=2m+2sm+8st(2sc)+12t(2sc) (Plate 1:5, 6). The chromosomes range in length from 13.84 to 29.81μm, with the ratio of the longest to the shortest 2.15. The karyotype belongs to Stebbins’3B. The secondary constrictions are found on the long arms of 5th and 10th pairs. No B-chromosomes are found. 3. Fritillaria xiaobeimu Y. K. Yang, J. Z. Shao et M. M. Fang Collected from Ningguo, Anhui, it has karyotype formula 2n = 24 = 2m+2sm+10st (4sc) + 10t (Plate 2:7, 8). The chromosomes range in length from 13.86 to 26.27μm, with the ratio of the longest to the shortest 1.89. The karyotype belongs to stebbins’3A. The secondary constrictions are found on the long arms of 7th and 9th pairs. 4. Fritillaria ningguoensis S. C. Chen et S. F. Yin Collected from Ningguo, Anhui, it is of karyotype formula 2n = 24 = 2m+2sm+8st (2sc) +12t (Plate 2: 9, 10). The chromosomes range in length from 9.11 to 23.23μm, with the ratio of the longest to the shortest 2.55. The karyotype belongs to Stebbins’3B. The secondary constrictions are only found on the long arms of the 10 th pair. 5. Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. Collected from Ningguo, Anhui, it is of karyotype formula 2n = 24 = 2m+2sm+8st(2sc) +12t(2sc)(Plate 2:11, 12). The chromosomes range in length from 8.83 to 19.85μm, with the ratio of the longest to the shortest 2.25. The karyotype belongs to stebbins’3B. There are secondary constrictions on the long arms of 5th and 7th pairs. The karyotype of the Ningguo material is similar to that of the Huoqiu (Anhui) material reported by Xu Jin-lin et al. (1987), but it is obviously different from 2n=2m(sc)+2sm+4st(2sc)+16t (2sc) reported byZhai et al. (1985) for the material from Xingjiang, Northwest China.     

Evidence for chromosome number reduction and chromosomal homosequentiality in the 24-chromosome Korean frog Rana dybowskii and related species

The karyotype of the Korean frog Rana dybowskii with its pattern of C-band heterochromatin distribution was numerically analyzed. There are 2n = 24 chromosomes in the karyotype representing a reduction in number from the typical 2n = 26 chromosome karyotype of Rana. The karyotype shows other evidence of reorganization relative to 26-chromosome species. The chromosomes grade smoothly in size from largest to smallest without the two size classes that are characteristic for 26-chromosome species. In contrast to many 26-chromosome species, there are few centromeric C-bands but many interstitial ones. C-bands for each homologous chromosome pair are distinctive. A prominent secondary constriction is located on one of the smallest chromosomes, chromosome 11, in a position similar to that seen in most 26-chromosome species. The karyotype of R. dybowskii is compared to those of other species of Rana known to have 2n = 24 chromosomes; it is most similar to that of R. chensinensis, less so that of R. ornativentris and less still to that of R. arvalis in terms of the positions of centromeres and secondary constrictions. C-bands as well as secondary constrictions in the karyotypes of these frogs show evidence of chromosomal homosequentiality. The process and possible consequences of chromosome number reduction from an ancestral 26-chromosome karyotype is also evident in the karyotypes of these closely allied palearctic frogs. Pericentric inversions followed by fusion of two small elements apparently produced a new chromosome, chromosome 6, occurring originally among northeast Asian populations.     

Chromosome banding in three species of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Hypsiboas</Emphasis> (Hylidae,Hylinae), with special reference to a new case of B-chromosome in anuran frogs and to the reduction of the diploid number of 2n = 24 to 2n = 22 in the genus

The chromosomes of hylids Hypsiboas albopunctatus, H. raniceps, and H. crepitans from Brazil were analyzed with standard and differential staining techniques. The former species presented 2n = 22 and 2n = 23 karyotypes, the odd diploid number is due to the presence of an extra element interpreted as B chromosome. Although morphologically very similar to the small-sized chromosomes of the A complement, the B was promptly recognized, even under standard staining, on the basis of some characteristics that are usually attributed to this particular class of chromosomes. The two other species have 2n = 24, which is the chromosome number usually found in the species of Hypsiboas karyotyped so far. This means that 2n = 22 is a deviant diploid number, resulted from a structural rearrangement, altering the chromosome number of 2n = 24 to 2n = 22. Based on new chromosome data, some possibilities were evaluated for the origin of B chromosome in Hypsiboas albopunctatus, as well as the karyotypic evolution in the genus, leading to the reduction in the diploid number of 2n = 24 to 2n = 22.     

Karyotypes and Giemsa C-banding patterns of Zebrina pendula, Z. purpusii and Setcreasea purpurea, compared with those of Tradescantia ohiensis.

It has been proposed that the genera Zebrina and Setcreasea of the family Commelinaceae should be united and reunited, respectively, with the genus Tradescantia, mainly based on morphological studies. In the present study, karyotypes and Giemsa C-banding patterns in the root-tip cells of three Zebrina and two Setcreasea clones were analyzed, and were compared with those of a triploid Tradescantia clone. Z. pendula and Z. purpusii (both 2n = 24) were found to have similar karyotypes (4 M + 6 ST + 14 T; M = meta-, ST = subtelo-, T = telocentric chromosomes), while Z. pendula cv Quadricolor (2n = 23) had a unique karyotype (6 M + 5 ST + 11 T + 1 SA; SA = short acrocentric chromosome). The only clear difference between Z. pendula and Z. purpusii was that one and two subtelocentric chromosomes, respectively, had satellites at the short arms. Two clones of S. purpurea (2n = 24) had karyotypes (8 M + 8 M' + 8 SM; M' = nearly meta-, SM = submetacentric chromosomes) similar to each other. T. ohiensis (2n = 18) had a symmetric karyotype (9 M + 9 SM) consisting of larger chromosomes than S. purpurea. Many clear Giemsa C-bands were detected, in addition to centromeric bands in all chromosomes of all clones. Z. pendula and Z. purpusii commonly had single clear interstitial bands in eight telocentric chromosomes each, but they also had unique telomeric and other interstitial bands, respectively. Z. pendula cv Quadricolor had a unique banding pattern, i.e., satellite bands in the unique short chromosome, telomeric bands at the long arms of all metacentric chromosomes, and single interstitial bands in six telocentric chromosomes. Two clones of S. purpurea had telomeric bands at many chromosome arms and satellite bands in two nearly metacentric and one submetacentric chromosomes, but some differences were found between them. On the other hand, all the chromosomes of T. ohiensis had telomeric bands at both arms, and three submetacentric chromosomes had satellite bands. These result prove structural differentiation of chromosomes occurred among the clones, especially in Zebrina, and show that S. purpurea is relatively close to T. ohiensis, while Zebrina is obviously distant from the other two genera. Therefore, there remains a question cytologically at least for uniting Zebrina with Tradescantia.     

A Scanning Electron Microscopic Observations of the Leaves in Some Conifers

Scanning electron microscopic observations of the leaves in some conifers are described. These are hyplocheilie stomata surrounded by different morphological subsidiary cells. In Keteleeria, the lateral wall of larger subsidiary cells possesses prom.inant eutieular globoides. Cuticular semigloboides between the sinuoms epidermal anticlinal walls are most obvious in other epidermis. However the single laver of cushion cells which looated underneath the guard ceils of the abaxial epidermis in Cathaya is discovered. The mesophyll ceils with incurved walls of Cathaya consist mainly of single layer of flat oubical cells flat longi-cubieal cells as of the polytriehaeeous lamcllae, thus it may be designated as mesolamellae. It not only supports the establishment of Cathaya Chun and Kuang as a new genus of the Pinaeeae but also may be another important biosystematical evidence between Cathaya and Pinus. The distribution and polymorphism of foliar solereids in Amentotaxus which are different from leaves of other gymnosperms described. The transfusion tracheids are also different in some ways from other genera.     

中国淡水三角涡虫染色体组型的研究

采用压片法对不同产地的淡水三角涡虫染色体进行研究,结果表明,湖北省武汉市珞珈山的淡水三角涡虫体细胞中有16条染色体,为二倍体（2n=2x=16m）;江苏省太湖东山岛的淡水三角涡虫体细胞中有24条染色体,为三倍体（2n=3x=24m）;贵州省遵义市凤凰山的淡水三角涡虫体细胞同时存在24条染色体和16条染色体两种分裂相,为混倍体。本文根据组型分析的结果对上述三个产地淡水三角涡虫的分类和染色体倍性进行了初步研究。另外,本研究中还发现涡虫染色体倍性的变化与涡虫生殖方式的转变以及环境温度有一定的联系。     

珍稀植物银杉的种子萌发特性

银杉(Cathaya argyrophylla)为我国特有珍稀古生树种,其种群自然更新困难,被列为国家Ⅰ级重点保护植物。由于银杉种子自然发芽率低,对其种子萌发过程的生理生态特性进行研究显得十分必要。对银杉种子的千粒重、含水率等物理特性及不同保存方法对种子生理活性影响进行了研究,重点研究了银杉种子经激素处理后其发芽率的变化趋势以及不同贮藏方法对种子萌发率以及抗氧化酶系统活性的影响。结果表明:储存时的水分条件是保证生活力的关键,失水带来的逆境胁迫导致银杉种子抗氧化酶活性变化剧烈,长时间的胁迫(报纸储存90d)造成种子能量消耗严重,抗氧化酶活性下降剧烈,导致发芽率极低(2.50%);用苔藓包裹低温贮藏的方法对种子活力影响最小,种子的发芽率最高,且能较长时间的保存。用不同激素处理后,能对种子的发芽有一定的促进作用,其中以IAA表现最好,特别是100mg/L浓度的IAA能提高种子发芽率30.30%,效果明显,但随着贮藏时间的延长,由于银杉种子自身活力丧失迅速,激素浸泡处理效果并不显著。
