Gender modification in a monoecious species <Emphasis Type="Italic">Sagittaria potamogetifolia</Emphasis> (Alismataceae)

In order to find out if the inflorescences number variation has influences on the gender modification in plant species, we investigated the gender modification in a cultivated population of the monoecious species Sagittaria potamogetifolia. We also designed two nutrient levels to explore the impact of nutrient on gender modification in S. potamogetifolia. We found that the female and male flowers did not change with increasing plant size for each inflorescence at a low nutrient level. At a high nutrient level, the female flower numbers on each inflorescence did not increase with plant size; however, the male flower numbers had some positive correlation with the plant size. At the ramet level, the total male and female flower numbers increased with the plant size at both nutrient levels. The sex ratio (female to male flower ratio) decreased with the inflorescence numbers and the plant size (Midvein length). Although the nutrient variation had impact on the flower number production, it did not change the gender modification pattern. The high plasticity of inflorescence numbers, which caused the gender variation in S. potamogetifolia, and low plasticity of female and male flowers on a single inflorescence, indicates that the limited modification on gender in a single inflorescence may be compensated by inflorescence number variation at the ramet level.     

Differential self‐fertilization rates in response to variation in floral traits within inflorescences of Aquilegia buergeriana var. oxysepala (Ranunculaceae)

To assess variation in the proportion of self‐fertilized seeds among flowers within inflorescences and the relationship between floral traits and the rate of self‐fertilization, the proportion of self‐fertilized seeds among individual flowers was estimated using ten microsatellite markers in self‐compatible plants of Aquilegia buergeriana var. oxysepala. Within‐inflorescence variation in floral traits, such as the duration of the male and female phases, flower size, herkogamy and the number of pollen grains and ovules in two natural populations, were investigated. The first flower in an inflorescence produced more seeds and a higher proportion of self‐fertilized seeds than the second flower. The higher proportion of self‐fertilized seeds in the first flowers was accompanied by a higher number of pollen grains and ovules in the bud stage and the female phase. These results indicate that the high proportion of self‐fertilized seeds in the first flowers in an inflorescence may be due to the high number of remaining pollen grains in the female phase. This suggests that variation in floral traits within inflorescences affects seed quality and quantity among flowers within inflorescences.     

Time of application of Niagara 10637 for induction of maleness or femaleness inRicinus communis Linn.

Ethyl hydrogen-1-propylphosphonate (Niagara 10637) at concentrations of 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/l had two different effects on sex expression ofRicinus communis L. cvIari 132. Higher concentrations (1000 and 2000 mg/l), applied just before emergence of inflorescence i.e. to 90 day old plants, induced a marked increase in female flower number and reduced the number of male flowers on the first inflorescence. However, there was a tendency towards maleness on the second and third inflorescences. When applied to 60 day old plants, the test compound induced a high degree of maleness on the first and second inflorescences. Sex expression was not markedly altered with treatments at still younger stages (seeds and seedlings).     

浙江低山地区多用途植物无患子的开花物候特征

无患子(Sapindus mukorossi Gaertn.)是我国长江以南地区传统的重要绿化树种,其果皮富含皂苷,种仁富含油脂,是国家林业局审定的新型木本油料树种之一。为研究多用途树种无患子在浙江低山地区的开花特征,2012年和2013年连续两年对位于浙江省天台县9年生无患子人工林在群体、个体、花序和单花水平进行开花物候观测和比较,并运用开花日期、相对开花强度和同步性等指数研究了无患子开花物候特征。观察结果显示:无患子花呈浅黄白色,花的类型有雄花和两性花,没有发现雌花。雄花较两性花大(花径分别为5.09 mm和3.72 mm),雄蕊多为8枚,个别7或9、10枚;雌蕊退化仅留下浅绿色凸起。两性花花萼稍抱拢,花药藏于花被片下,雄蕊大多8枚,极少数7枚或9枚,柱头高于花药并伸出花苞,子房一般具3室,极少数4室或仅2室。无患子2012年的开花进程略早于2013年,其花期集中在在5月中旬至6月上旬,单花从花蕾膨大到花朵凋谢一般为8—9 d。在2012年和2013年,无患子在群体、个体和花序水平的花期约为30 d、20 d、11 d和28 d、19 d、13 d。个体水平的开花振幅均呈单峰曲线,年际间相似性较高;开花同步性在个体水平同步性较高(同步指数为0.868),表现出一种大量、集中的开花式样;相对开花强度在单株间分布范围相对宽泛,但主要分布在30%—40%,在年际间和年际内均呈现极显著差异。花期同步指数在两年的变异范围分别是0.81—0.97和0.70—0.98,不同单株开花同步性在年际内差异极显著,但在年际间差异性则不显著。由此可见,无患子的生殖资源分配存在明显的时空差异,较长的花期可以减少非法花粉的干扰、保持其种群基因多样性,遗传因子是决定无患子开花物候的主要因素,生态环境对无患子开花物候的影响还需进一步研究,本研究以期为探索无患子开花的主要限制因子奠定基础。     

Modification of phenotypic and functional gender in the monoecious Arum italicum (Araceae)

Other than studies on sex-labile Arisaema species, studies of gender patterns in Araceae are scarce. The modification of phenotypic and functional gender was investigated in three populations of the monoecious Arum italicum Miller. The probability of reproduction and the number of inflorescences produced increased with plant size, and flower number (total, male, staminodes, female, pistillodes) increased with both plant and inflorescence sizes. However, plant and inflorescence sizes were poor predictors of floral sex ratio (female to male flower ratio). In contrast, change in floral sex ratio towards increasing femaleness was found among inflorescences sequentially produced by a plant. This change could not be explained by either a decrease in inflorescence size or a change in the mating environment. Differences in functional gender did not appear to be related to plant size or stage in the flowering period. Instead, different patterns of functional gender were found between plants with different number of inflorescences. Multi-inflorescence plants showed a functional gender around 0.5, while plants with one inflorescence showed a more extreme functional gender (either male, female, or functionally sterile). Sex of flowers in this species did not seem to exhibit a phenotypic trade-off.     

罗汉果花芽分化过程中形态及其激素水平变化特征

采用石蜡切片和酶联免疫法(ELISA)对罗汉果雄性、雌性、两性花芽分化过程的形态和激素水平变化进行观测,为罗汉果开花调控和品种选育提供科学依据。结果表明:(1)罗汉果雄性、雌性、两性花的花芽分化过程均可分为花芽未分化期、花芽分化初期、花序分化期、萼片原基分化期、花瓣原基分化期、雄蕊原基分化期和雌蕊原基分化期7个阶段。雄蕊原基分化期前,3种花芽分化过程无明显差异,各时期形态特征均依次为:茎端呈圆锥状(花芽未分化期)→茎端经半球形变成扁平状(花芽分化初期)→距茎端5~7节位处分化出穗状花序(花序分化期)→小花原基周围形成5个萼片原基(萼片原基分化期)→萼片原基内侧形成5个花瓣原基(花瓣原基分化期)。雄蕊和雌蕊原基分化期,3种花芽分化过程存在明显差异,雄蕊原基内侧出现雌蕊原基后,雄花芽雄蕊原基继续发育成雄蕊,雌蕊原基停滞生长,退为一个小突起;雌花芽雌蕊原基继续发育成雌蕊,雄蕊原基生长缓慢,退化为小花丝;两性花芽雌蕊和雄蕊原基均继续发育,形成外观正常的雌蕊和雄蕊。(2)内源激素脱落酸(ABA)、赤霉素(GAs)和玉米素核苷(ZR)含量在3种花芽分化过程中变化规律相似,即ABA含量在花芽生理分化期降低,花芽形态分化期升高,而GAs和ZR含量则基本保持不变;吲哚乙酸(IAA)含量在3种花芽分化过程中变化存在明显差异,雌花芽IAA含量在花芽生理分化期升高,花芽形态分化期逐渐降低,而雄性和两性花芽的IAA含量则基本保持不变。ABA/GAs、ABA/IAA、ZR/IAA和ZR/GAs激素含量比值在3种花芽分化过程中变化规律相似,ABA/GAs在花芽生理分化期降低,花芽形态分化期升高,而BA/IAA、ZR/IAA和ZR/GAs则基本保持不变。研究认为,罗汉果花芽分化过程经历一个"两性期",高ABA含量和ABA/GAs比值有利于罗汉果花芽分化,IAA可能对罗汉果花性分化具有重要作用。     

Organographic and ontogenetic studies on the inflorescence ofLespedeza cuneata (Dum.-Cours.) G. Don (Leguminosae)

Structure of inflorescence and its variation were organographically and ontogenetically studied inLespedeza cuneata (Dum.-Cours.) G. Don. An axillary inflorescence of the species forms a compound inflorescence which is composed of three or four component inflorescences. Each component inflorescence bears four (rarely six), three, two, or one flowers. Based on the arrangement of inflorescence phyllomes, the component inflorescence with four flowers is interpreted as a pseudoraceme bearing two shortened lateral shoots (partial inflorescences) each of which has two flowers. The component inflorescence with one flower appears to be terminated by the flower and to compose the cyme. Organographic observations revealed that the terminally located flower is not truly terminal, but axillary in origin. Ontogenetic observations showed that the apices of component inflorescence and partial inflorescence exist in early developmental stages in spite of variation in the form of component inflorescence. The terminally located flower in the cyme-like inflorescence was thus demonstrated to be laterally borne on the partial inflorescence axis. The component inflorescence composing the cyme-like one inL. cuneata is a reduced form in the number of partial inflorescences and of flowers from the pseudoraceme. The cyme-like inflorescence inL. cuneata resembles the inflorescence ofKummerowia.     

Effects of local density and flower colour polymorphism on pollination and reproduction in the rewardless orchid Dactylorhiza sambucina (L.) Soò

The rewardless orchid Dactylorhiza sambucina shows a stable flower colour polymorphism, with both yellow- and red-flowered morphs growing sympatrically. Pollination biology and breeding system were investigated to examine the effects of density of plants, colour polymorphism, inflorescence dimension, and flower position within inflorescence on male and female reproductive success in three natural populations of D. sambucina. There were significant differences among sites in the number of pollinia removed and in fruit set per inflorescence. Number of removed pollinia and capsule production in D. sambucina were independent from flower and inflorescence size or flower position. As a whole, the red morphs showed the highest number of capsules produced, while the yellow morphs had the greatest male success. The relative male and female reproductive success were independent from plant density but were significantly correlated with the yellow morph frequency at the population level. Overall, our findings show that the contribution to the total reproductive success deriving from the two colour morphs does not conform with the predictions of negative frequency-dependent selection.     

Effects of variation in inflorescence size and floral rewards on the visitation rates of traplining pollinators ofAralia hispida

Summary In field experiments withAralia hispida inflorescences, the following variables were manipulated: number of umbels per inflorescence, number of flowers per umbel, and amounts of pollen and nectar per flower. Visitation rates by bumble bees, the principal pollinators, were then observed. In the reward-variation experiments, bees appeared to learn the positions of nectar-rich shoots, and visited them significantly more often than nectar-poor shoots. They did not respond to similar variation in pollen production. The nectar preferences developed slowly after the treatments were imposed, and bees continued to favor sites that had been occupied by nectar-rich shoots even after the treatments were discontinued. Visitation rate was approximately proportional to flower number, making it unlikely that increases in inflorescence size produced a disproportionate gain in male reproductive success (a necessary condition in certain models for the evolution of dioecy). For a fixed number of flowers per inflorescence, bees preferred inflorescences with more umbels. In pairwise choice tests of male-phase and female-phase umbels of various sizes, bees preferred male-phase umbels and larger umbels; the preference for male-phase umbels is stronger in bees that had previously fed on male-phase umbels.     

A gradual reduction of female structures in the pistillate flowers ofRicinus communis L. (castor-bean) with chlorflurenol (morphactin)

Chlorflurenol (morphactin) EMD 7301 W (60, 120 and 240 mg I^?1) when applied at five to seven leaf and 10–12 leaf stage induced hermaphrodite flowers in the inflorescences ofRicinus communis. The hermaphrodite flowers were mostly apical in position unlike the apical female flower in the control. With an increase in the time gap between sowing and emergence of the inflorescence there was a reduction of the female structures in the hermaphrodite flowers. The last formed inflorescences had an apical male flower in place of a female. The largest number of inflorescences with an apical male or hermaphrodite flower were produced with 60 mg 1^?1 applied at five to seven leaf stage. The hermaphrodite flowers failed to set fruits.
