真藓属（Bryum Hedw.）蒴齿形态特征及其分类学意义

通过光学显微镜和扫描电子显微镜观察了中国产真藓属（Bryum Hedw.）12种植物蒴齿的形态特征。结果显示,根据真藓属齿片的曲向可以分为近直立、齿片伸入齿条间和齿片向外反曲等3种类型。根据齿毛的有无,也可分为3个类群。同时利用STATISTICA 6.0统计软件对12种真藓属植物进行聚类分析及主成分分析。研究结果显示,齿片的曲向类型、齿毛是否发育等形态特征可作为真藓属植物种间的分类依据,为藓类植物蒴齿形态特征与分类和系统进化关系的研究提供了新的资料。     

喀斯特天坑内孔雀藓属蒴齿亚显微结构研究

喀斯特天坑微环境对植物结构特征有显著的影响。采用扫描电子显微镜，探究孔雀藓属蒴齿在喀斯特天坑内的亚显微结构，旨在为微环境下藓类植物蒴齿结构特征研究提供参考。研究结果表明：①基于蒴齿的亚显微形态研究，孔雀藓属两个种，即黄边孔雀藓（Hypopterygium flavo-limbatum C.Muell）、东亚孔雀藓（Hypopterygium japonicum Mitt）蒴齿双齿层，内外齿层数均为16枚，外齿层背面均具"Z"字形的中脊，齿片形态、曲向、外齿层背侧脊纹、齿条腹侧横纹以及是否具节瘤具有明显的差异，属于稳定性特征，可作为系统分类的依据；而齿片长度、宽度、节片数、横脊数、中脊数，属于可变性特征，受环境因子的影响，在运用藓类植物蒴齿作为系统分类依据时应作性状的筛选。②光照度、空气温度、空气湿度以及海拔是影响天坑内黄边孔雀藓（H.flavo-limbatum）蒴齿形态结构发育生长的主要环境因子，空气湿度、光照度以及人为干扰度是影响天坑内东亚孔雀藓（H.japonicum）蒴齿形态结构发育生长的主要环境因子。两种孔雀藓属植物蒴齿结构受湿度的影响最大，其生境多为湿度大、土壤含水量丰富的环境。

西藏高寒草原苔藓植物群丛特征及其与生态因子的关系

苔藓植物独特的形态结构和生理特征，使其能够生长在极端干旱和寒冷的严酷环境中，苔藓植物是青藏高原高寒草地的植被组成成分之一，发挥着重要的生态作用。为探讨高寒草原苔藓植物的群丛特征，明确影响苔藓植物群丛分布的主要生态因子，本研究在西藏高寒草原区域共设置40个样地，通过样方调查，采集、记录苔藓植物，基于物种和样地生态因子数据，应用双向指示种分析(TWINSPAN)和典范对应分析(CCA)方法对苔藓植物群丛进行数量分类与排序。共记录9科18属36种藓类植物。在科的水平，以丛藓科为主；在属的水平，以对齿藓属(Didymodon)和真藓属(Bryum)为主。优势种分别是短叶对齿藓(Didymodon tectorus)、细叶石灰藓(Barbula gracilenta)、北地对齿藓(Didymodon fallax)和密歇根对齿藓(Didymodon michiganensis)。生活型以丛集型为主，占83.33%。双向指示种分析将苔藓植物群丛分成8个类型，分别是垂蒴真藓(Bryum uliginosum)群丛、北地对齿藓+金黄银藓(Anomobryum auratum)群丛、短叶对齿藓+北地对齿...     

裸帽藓属Groutiella Steere的研究I—形态特征和研究概况

裸帽藓属（Groutiella）隶属于木灵藓科的蓑藓亚科。其分布区主要集中在中、南美洲地区。裸帽藓属的显著特征为叶基部有分化边缘;蒴帽仅覆盖孢蒴的1／3,平滑无毛。该属植物与蓑藓属（Macromitrium）和卷叶藓属（Ulota）植物形态上十分相似。自1950年建属以来,对于它的分类学研究很少,且主要集中在地区性研究和形态学研究。根据目前的研究现状,裸帽藓属的概念还存在问题,某些种类存在一定的混淆,因此,该属亟需进行世界范围内的分类学修订。     

An electron microscopical study of the genus Tortula Hedw., with special reference to exine ornamentation

Abstract

Spores of ten North European species of the genus Tortula Hedw. were studied in the transmission electron microscope. In all the sporoderm was more or less covered with finely papillate processes of several different types which divide the genus into a number of groups different from the previously suggested sections. The ornamentation of leaves, peristomes, and spores of T. norvegica (Web. f.) Wahlenb. has been studied in the scanning electron microscope. The leaf papillae are not c-shaped as suggested in the literature, but branched in a rather complex way. The borders of the basal membrane cells of the peristome appeared to be a continuation of the filamentous portion of the teeth. A comparison with T. ruralis (Hedw.) Gaertn., Meyer & Scherb. revealed the ornamentation to be of the same basic type in the two species.

Correlation of Ciliary and Nuclear Development in the Life Cycle of Euplotes

SYNOPSIS. Kinetosomal changes, as indicative of cytoplasmic reorganization in binary fission and during and after conjugation, were followed in a zoochlorellae-bearing species of Euplotes. The preconjugant peristome, designated the first generation peristome, breaks down partially after the conjugants have paired; the basal section, comprising the shorter adoral membranelles and the undulating, membrane, is resorbed. A new peristome, the second generation peristome, arises as a small pit near the left ventral margin, in midline, at the time when the micronuclei are in the first meiotic prophase. By the time of the second meiotic division a single set of new cirri, the second generation cirri, has formed in each conjugant. This second set is not perfect, lacking one of the frontals. Neither the second generation peristome nor cirri develop very far, or migrate, until after separation of the conjugants. Then the new peristome replaces the old one and the new cirri become functional. However, the new peristome lacks an undulating membrane and does not complete its development, bearing only a fraction of the normal number of membranelles. At its posterior termination, at the time of condensation of the macronuclear anlage, another peristome, the third generation peristome, is formed and develops as a granular, and later striated, invagination extending posteriorly. It appears to integrate with its predecessor and, as its constituent membranelles develop, a third generation single set of new cirri arises. These replace the imperfect previous set, all of the cirri being represented. In anticipation of the first postconjugant fission, all of the cirral apparatus is discarded again and two new sets (fourth generation cirri) originate; the old (combination second and third generation) peristome is retained by the proter while a new one is provided for the opisthe. It is evident, therefore, that a rather far-reaching cytoplasmic reorganization accompanies the nuclear changes of conjugation, seeming, for the most part, to follow the nuclear changes. The old macronuclear fragments have been found not to fuse with the macronuclear anlage.     

The Cytology of Sheep Rumen Ciliates. I. Ultrastructure of Epidinium caudatum Crawley1

Epidinium caudatum has an anterior vestibulum containing the adoral zone syncilia (AZS) on an extrusible peristome. The cytopharyngeal structures include a funnel-shaped arrangement of nematodesmata, longitudinal and transversely oriented microtubular ribbons all of which are located in the peristome, a structure which also contains filamentous phagoplasm. The origins of the microtubular ribbons indicate affinities to the rhabdos type of cytopharynx. The peristomal base is continuous with the tubular esophagus, the region connecting the two being ensheathed by a fibrous layer and low density cytoplasm. The esophagus has a microtubular/microfilamentous wall. A distinct cytoproct with associated myonemal structures occurs posteriorly. The skeletal plates consist of a large number of interconnected, variably shaped platelets and may have dual skeletal and storage functions. The endoplasm is more vesicular than the ectoplasm, the two separated by a fibrous boundary layer. The five-layered cortex has an external glycocalyx, a plasma membrane with two subtending membranes, homogeneous, microtubular, and microfilamentous layers. The syncilia of the AZS are mounted in a U-shaped band on the peristome with transversely oriented kinetics consisting of kinetosomes linked by a sub-kinetosomal rod. There is a bifurcated kinetodesma, dense support material forming a lateral spur with associated transverse microtubules, and postciliary, interkinetal, and occasional basal microtubules, nematodesmata, and a subciliary reticulum. A barren, possibly vestigial, somatic infraciliature consists of non-ciliated kinetosomes and a basal striated fiber with associated basal and perpendicular (cortical) microtubules.     

PERISTOME DEVELOPMENT IN MOSSES IN RELATION TO SYSTEMATICS AND EVOLUTION. II. TETRAPHIS PELLUCIDA (TETRAPHIDACEAE)

The Tetraphidae is a small subclass of mosses with a nematodontous peristome that has frequently been interpreted as primitive among the true mosses. The developmental cell sequence leading to the formation of the four peristome teeth of Tetraphis pellucida is described for the first time. Comparisons are made with sequences known for other nematodontous and arthrodontous mosses. Peristome development in T. pellucida is more like that described previously for arthrodontous peristomes than to published developmental sequences for nematodontous peristomes of species in the Polytrichaceae. On the other hand, our observations confirm a basic uniformity of the earliest developmental stages in all mosses studied thus far, regardless of their systematic position.     

Structure of Adnate Colony Portions in Crisiidae (Bryozoa Cyclostomata)

The “rhizoidsrdquo; surrounding the base of the erect “colony” emanating from the ancestrula in the Crisiidae, especially the simple species Crisidia cornuta (L.), are a regular adnate system of autozooids. Each autozooid is composed of a proximal adnate part and a distal peristome (in some species kenozooids are possibly intercalated). The autozooid peristomes support erect branches identical in budding and structure with the branch emanating from the erect peristome of the ancestrula. Thus, the complete crisiid colony consists of an adnate system of ancestrula and autozooids, which form erect branches from their peristomes. The adnate zooid system is comparable in autozooid morphology and budding pattern with simple uniserial stomatoporids. The tentative hypothesis is proposed that the crisiid group has developed from primitive stomatoporids; the adnate zooid system of the stomatoporids apparently evolved peristomial budding to produce the erect colony branches characteristic of crisiids.
