带叶兜兰种子原地共生萌发及有效菌根真菌的分离与鉴定

为获得带叶兜兰(Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum)种子萌发的共生真菌,采用原地共生萌发技术获得了2株自然萌发的小幼苗,并分离和筛选出了有效的种子萌发共生菌——瘤菌根菌(Epulorhiza sp.)。为验证分离菌株对带叶兜兰种子萌发的有效性,将Phs34号菌株与带叶兜兰种子在灭菌后的原生境基质上进行室内共生萌发试验,结果表明,经过6周的培养,对照组没有观察到种子的萌发;接菌的种子胚明显膨大,突破种皮,形成原球茎,平均萌发率为(58.35±3.41)%。这表明分离得到的瘤菌根菌能促进带叶兜兰的种子萌发。     

野生兜兰菌根真菌对带叶兜兰生长和生理指标的效应

为探究兰科菌根真菌对带叶兜兰(Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum)生长的影响,用4个分离自广西野生兜兰根部的兰科菌根真菌(Cladosporium perangustum、Kirschsteiniothelia tectonae、Phialophora sp.和Cyphellophora sp.)与带叶兜兰试管苗和营养钵苗进行菌-苗共生试验,对其生长和生理指标的变化进行了研究。结果表明,接菌处理具有明显的促进生长作用和生理效应,Cladosporium perangustum和Phialophora sp.对试管苗的接种效果最佳,鲜质量增量、3种保护酶活性和叶绿素总量均与对照存在显著或极显著差异,鲜质量增加了360%～380%。Kirschsteiniothelia tectonae、Phialophora sp.对营养钵苗的接种效果最佳,鲜质量增量、叶面积及3种保护酶活性均与对照存在显著或极显著差异,鲜质量增加了261%～330%。因此,实际生产中可在带叶兜兰不同生长阶段接种适当菌株,Phialophora sp.对带叶兜兰表现出较好的促生效应,可研发为带叶兜兰育...     

同色兜兰的非共生萌发与快速繁殖研究

以授粉后不同发育时期的同色兜兰种子为材料,观察其形态特征和萌发过程,并探讨建立同色兜兰高效快繁体系的最佳条件。结果表明,种子发育中后期即授粉后210~240d为较适宜的采收期,授粉后210d的种子萌发率最高(达77.79%);1/4 MS和1/2MS为同色兜兰适宜的基本培养基,添加100mL/L椰乳或1g/L蛋白胨对种子萌发及原球茎生长和分化有明显的促进作用;添加1g/L活性炭对原球茎褐化有一定的抑制作用,但添加剂量不宜过大;添加香蕉汁和苹果汁对同色兜兰种子萌发和原球茎生长分化有抑制作用;暗处理对同色兜兰种子萌发无影响;分化后的原球茎在壮苗和生根培养基上培养120d即可得到4~5片叶、高3~5cm的同色兜兰健壮试管苗。

濒危植物紫纹兜兰群落特征及其保护

对广东省河源市紫金县白溪自然保护区紫纹兜兰（Paphiopedilum purpuratum（Lindl.）Stein）所在的2个群落进行了样方调查,分析了其生境、物种组成、群落区系特点及群落结构特征。结果显示,调查样地内共有维管束植物47科79属94种。属的区系成分中泛热带和热带亚洲成分占主要地位,占非世界分布总属数的84.3%,具有热带向亚热带过渡的性质。群落1中扇叶铁线蕨（Adiantum flabellulatum Linn.）和中华苔草（Carex chinensis Retz.）为优势种,紫纹兜兰仅为伴生种,群落2中紫纹兜兰为优势种。两群落均以小高位芽植物为主,但缺乏大高位芽植物、地面芽植物及一年生草本,而藤本植物的丰富则进一步加大了林下的郁闭度。综合生境因素比较两个群落表明,紫纹兜兰对环境具有极强的依赖性,对坡度坡向及环境湿度有一定的要求,对伴生植物并无明显的选择性。建议加强对紫纹兜兰的就地保护,同时加大对其栽培繁殖技术的研究。     

The mesmerizing wart: the pollination strategy of epiphytic lady slipper orchid Paphiopedilum villosum (Lindl.) Stein (Orchidaceae)

Paphiopedilum uillosum was studied in hill evergreen forests (at up to 35 m above ground level) in North Thailand between 1990 and 1994. Flowering lasted 4.5 months: flower longevity 2–3 months. During 224 hours of flower-watching, less than 100 specimens of Syrphidae (Diptera) were seen in the vicinity of the flowers; 15 cases of pollen acquisition were mainly by female Eplsyrphus alternans, Syrphus fulvifacies, Betasyrphus serarius among 6 spp. of pollinators. Populations peaked during the main flower opening period, one month before the maximum number of open flowers was reached in early February. The flowers are 'kettle-traps' without known reward, luring mainly by food deception. Long distance attraction is probably by a urine-like odour (attraction to mammalian excretions had hitherto been little reported) and colour contrast. Close range lure is by the glittering staminode (probably mimicking droplets of honeydew/moisture) centred by a slippery wart (faking a perch) at which pollinators fly, immediately losing their grip and tumbling into the pouch, preventing wing action and falling being disrupted by a trough-shaped frame. Escape is up the tunnel, past the stigma, to the exit where, pressed by several mechanisms against the anther, the hoverfly scoops off very sticky pollen which has a viability of at least 8 weeks. Capsule formation averaged 8%.     

Biotic versus abiotic pollination in Oeceoclades maculata (Lindl.) Lindl. (Orchidaceae)

Geographical variation in the reproductive biology of widespread species often occurs at their distributional boundaries. We sought to determine whether such variation has occurred in an invasive orchid, Oeceoclades maculata, across its naturalized range. We compared its reproductive biology in a Brazilian population with that published for a population on the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico. In the state of São Paulo, O. maculata flowers between December and February, at the height of the rainy season. Similar fruit sets were observed in manual self (76%) and cross (70.4%) pollination treatments. The fruit set of plants protected from both pollinators and rainfall was 6.1%, whereas plants exposed only to rainfall had a fruit set of 41.4%, slightly less than the controls (48.3%). Like the Puerto Rico population, reproduction is primarily through rain‐assisted autogamy, but unlike observations made on the island, outcrossing can eventually occur. We observed two butterfly species (Heliconius ethilla narcaea and Heliconius erato phyllis) pollinating O. maculata. Secretory epidermal cells and trichomes of the spur lumen produced 0.7 µL of 25% (sucrose equivalents) nectar per flower each morning, which was stored in a dilated basal portion of the spur and reabsorbed by the afternoon. Thus, geographical variation in reproductive biology exists across the broad invasive range of O. maculata.     

Phenological growth stages of loquat tree (Eriobotrya japonica (Thunb.) Lindl.)

Conservation, characterisation and utilisation of minor fruit tree species is an important objective for diversification of agro-food production. One such fruit tree is the loquat, a tree that originated in China but is well adapted to the Mediterranean area. The conservation and utilisation of suitable germplasm requires an accurate characterisation and evaluation of the material. A first step in characterisation is to use phenotypic traits. This paper describes the phenological growth stages of loquat tree using the extended BBCH scale. Seven principal growth stages (PGS) for bud, leaf and shoot development, inflorescence emergence, flowering, fruit development and fruit maturity and 31 secondary growth stages are described and compared with a previous scale based on Fleckinger classical methodology. An example of application of the extended BBCH scale for characterisation of loquat cultivars from IVIA germplasm collection is reported.

Additional notes on the subgenus Brachypetalum (s. l.) of Paphiopedilum

Two new orchid taxa, Paphiopedilum globulosum Z. J. Liu et S. C. Chen and Paphiopedilum micranthum Tang et Wang var. oblatum Z. J. Liu et J. Y. Zhang, are described and illustrated based on cultivated plants originating in southeastern Yunnan. Both of them are related to Paphiopdilum micranthum Tang et Wang, from which the former differs by having much broader leaves 2.8 ~ 3.4 cm wide, a somewhat hooked-tipped lip 1.1 ~ 1.2 cm wide, and a staminode al-most as big as the mouth of the lip, and the latter by broader leaves 2.2 ~ 3 cm wide and an oblate lip at a depth of no more than 1 cm. They all belong to the subgenus Brachypetalum (s. l. ). A key to 16 Chinese and Vietnamese species of this subgenus is provided.
