Experimental investigations into the feasibility ofex situ preservation of palm seeds; an alternative strategy for biological conservation of this economically important plant family

Given the widespread belief that the conservation of palms, especially the large-trunked species, is only accomplished throughin situ preservation or in plantations, this paper explores the feasibility of a third approach, i.e. cryogenic preservation of their seedsex situ. Seeds of the following palm species were subjected to air-drying to assess their tolerance of dessication:Washingtonia filifera (L. Linden) H. Wendl.;Sabal mexicana Mart. (syn. S. texana; Zong, 1990);Schippia concolor Burret;Orbignya cohune (Mart.) Dahlgren ex Standley;Acoelorraphe wrightii (Griseb. & H. Wendl.) H. Wendl. ex Becc.;Desmoncus orthacanthos Mart.;Attalea crassispatha (Mart.) Burret;Zambia antillarum (Desc.) L.H. Bailey;Pinanga malaiana (Mart.) Scheff.;Pinanga aff. polymorpha Becc.;Daemonorops verticillaris (Griff.) Mart. Of these, only two (W. filifera andS. mexicana) survived drying to moisture contents around 5% (fresh weight basis). Seeds of the remaining spp. would be difficult or impossible to conserveex situ in seedbanks or cryostores. Data are presented to show that the response ofO. cohune embryos to drying is similar to other recalcitrant (dessication intolerant) seeds, while seeds ofA. wrightii may belong to an intermediate seed storage category with limited tolerance of drying. The results are discussed in relation to the inadequacy of current knowledge as a basis for decisions on the broad scaleex situ conservation of palm germplasm.     

国产省藤属植物的叶表皮形态学

对国产省藤属（Calamus L．）植物17种2变种的叶表皮进行光学显微镜观察,除单叶省藤（C.simplicifolius）、短叶省藤（C.egregiw）和白藤（C.tetradactylus）外,其它种均为首次报道。省藤属植物的叶表皮形态较为一致,气孔器为轮列4细胞型（tetracytic,或称四轮列型）,即有4个副卫细胞,其中2个为侧副卫细胞,2个为端副卫细胞;表皮细胞为长方形,纵向排列。表皮毛有3种类型：多细胞排成单列的单毛（人喙省藤C．macrorrhynchus）、多细胞排成2-3列的单毛（毛鳞省藤ethysanolepis等）、多细胞分枝毛（白藤等）。表皮细胞的长度和宽度特征、细胞壁的厚薄及波纹的深浅和形状、端副卫细胞的长短等细微特征在种问存在差异,可以区分种类。叶表皮结构还反映了种问的亲缘关系。因此,叶表皮特征对于省藤属种类的划分和亲缘关系的确定有较大的分类学意义。     

Variation in the structure and development of foliar stomata in the Euphorbiaceae

The structure and ontogeny of foliar stomata were studied in 50 species of 28 genera belonging to 17 tribes of the family Euphorbiaceae. The epidermal cells are either polygonal, trapezoidal, or variously elongated in different directions and diffusely arranged. The epidermal anticlinal walls are either straight, arched or sinuous. The architecture of cuticular striations varies with species. The mature stomata are paracytic (most common), anisocytic, anomocytic and diacytic. Occasionally a stoma may be tetracytic, cyclocytic or with a single subsidiary cell. The ontogeny of paracytic stomata is mesogenous dolabrate or trilabrate, mesoperigenous dolabrate; that of diacytic stomata is mesogenous dolabrate, whereas that of anisocytic stomata is mesogenous trilabrate; rarely an anisocytic stoma may be mesoperigenous. Hemiparacytic stomata are mesoperigenous unilabrate; tetracytic stomata are mesoperigenous dolabrate and anomocytic stomata perigenous. Abnormalities encountered include four types of contiguous stomata, stomata with a single or both guard cells aborted and persistent stomatal initials. Cytoplasmic connections between the guard cells of two adjacent stomata or the guard cell of a stoma and an adjacent epidermal/subsidiary cell, or both types occurring in a species, were noticed. The stomatal development, distribution, diversity and basic stomatal type with reference to systematics are discussed.     

华南地区3个棕榈藤种光合途径的判别

C3植物可以通过转入C4植物基因而具备C4植物光合特性,从而提高产量。有鉴于此,本文通过测定我国华南地区分布的黄藤(Daemonoropsmargaritae(Hance)Becc.)、单叶省藤(CalamussimplicifoliusC.F.Wei)和白藤(C.tetradactylusHance)等3个棕榈藤种苗木和成年植株叶片的叶绿素含量、气孔密度、磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶(phosphoenolpyruvatecarboxylase,PEPC)、丙酮酸磷酸二激酶(pyruvatephosphatedikinase,PPDK)和稳定碳同位素比值等指标以判别3个藤种的光合途径,为棕榈藤转入C4植物基因工作提供理论依据。结果表明,3种藤种苗木和成年植株的叶绿素含量和气孔密度比常见C3植物和C4植物高,但叶绿素a/b值、叶片上下表面气孔比值、PEPC酶活性、PPDK酶活性和稳定碳同位素比值等指标均较低,与常见C3植物的对应指标相当或略低,而远小于常见C4植物,因此认为黄藤、单叶省藤和白藤等3个藤种是C3植物。

Biomechanics and development of rattans: what is special about Plectocomia himalayana Griff. (Calamoideae,Plectocomiinae)?

Mechanical and morphological studies of Plectocomia himalayana (subtribe Plectocomiinae) revealed characteristics that differ strongly from species of subtribe Calaminae ( Calamus and Daemonorops ). In species of Calaminae tested previously, the contribution of the leaf sheath drastically increases stiffness in juvenile axes and towards the apex of older plants. In P. himalayana the relative contribution of the leaf sheath to axis stiffness is less and leaf sheath senescence does not strongly reduce axial stiffness as observed in Calamus and Daemonorops . Natural aerial branching, only described in Korthalsia and Laccosperma among rattans, is common in P. himalayana . Aerial branching and adventitious roots occur frequently along old stems allowing autonomy of stems, following mechanical injury and promoting vegetative propagation. The climbing habit is known to have evolved at least twice within the Calamoideae. The results observed here suggest that climbing habits may differ in detail and that different 'climbing strategies' may have evolved within the subfamily Calamoideae resulting from: (1) variable stem flexibility, (2) the variable mechanical role of the leaf sheath ( Calamus–Daemonorops ) and (3) production of branches and aerial roots conferring a higher degree of architectural plasticity ( Plectocomia ).  © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 151 , 83–91.     

华南地区3个棕榈藤种光合途径的判别

C3植物uT以通过转入C4植物基因而具备C4植物光合特性,从而提高产量.有鉴于此,本文通过测定我国华南地区分布的黄藤(Daemonorops margarttae(Hance)Becc.)、单叶省藤(Calamus simplicifolius C.F.Wei)和白藤(C.tetradactylus Hance)等3个棕榈藤种苗木和成年植株叶片的叶绿素含量、气孔密度、磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶(phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase,PEPC)、丙酮酸磷酸二激酶(pyruvate phosphate dikinase,PPDK)和稳定碳同位素比值等指标以判别3个藤种的光合途径,为棕榈藤转入C4植物基因工作提供理论依据.结果表明,3种藤种苗木和成年植株的叶绿素含量和气孔密度比常见C3植物和C4植物高,但叶绿素a/b值、叶片上下表面气孔比值、PEPC酶活性、PPDK酶活性和稳定碳同位素比值等指标均较低,与常见C3植物的对应指标相当或略低,而远小于常见C4植物,因此认为黄藤、单叶省藤和白藤等3个藤种是C3植物.     

Structure,ontogeny and taxonomic significance of trichomes and stomata in some Capparidaceae

The present work embodies epidermal structure, structure and ontogeny of stomata in five genera embracing sixteen species of the Capparidaceae namely Cleome (8 species) Capparis (5 species), Cadaba (1 species), Crataeva (1 species) and Maerua (1 species). The epidermal cells are polygonal, isodiametric or elongated arranged irregularly, with evenly or unevenly thickened, sinuous, straight or arched anticlinal walls. Two main types of trichomes: glandular (four types) and eglandular (five types) are noticed. The stomatal types include cyclocytic, triacytic, staurocytic, tetracytic, anomocytic, anisocytic, paracytic and with a single subsidiary cell. The ontogeny of stomata with a single subsidiary cell is perigenous or mesoperigenous, of paracytic mesoperigenous or mesogenous, of anisocytic is mesoperigenous or mesogenous, while that of the other types is perigenous. Abnormalities observed are: single guard cell; aborted guard cells; complete or incomplete division of guard cells; contiguous stomata; giant stomata and cytoplasmic connections. The present observations do not support the separation of Cleomaceae from the Capparidaceae.     

Anatomical diversity of Indian rattan palms (Calamoideae) in relation to biogeography and systematics

Of the 13 genera and 600 species of the subdivision Calamoideae, only four genera– Calamus, Daemonorops, Korthalsia , and Plectocomia –represent the Indian rattans which are found in three major regions: Western Ghats of Peninsular India, Andaman and Nicobar islands and north and north-eastern India. Detailed anatomical survey of 42 species shows considerable differences among the four genera. The vascular bundle in Calamus, Daemonorops and Korthalsia is characterized by a solitary metaxylem vessel and two phloem fields, while Plectocomia shows 1–2 metaxylem vessels and a single phloem field. The mechanical tissues show diversity in Korthalsia and Plectocomia with sclereids as a yellow cap on the outer side of the fibrous sheaths of vascular bundles. The size of the different cells, the diameter of the metaxylem vessel in particular, appears to be related to species habit, geography and stem size. The Andaman and Nicobar islands with equable temperature and high humidity provide the best environment for cane growth–the widest vessels are in canes from this region. While altitudinal influence on vessel diameter appears to be relatively small, the higher latitude is associated with narrow and short vessel elements. With the exception of C. erectus , an erect species with the thickest stem, vessel diameter shows positive correlation with stem diameter. Vessel perforations are simple or rarely scalariform. Climbing palms which grow to enormous heights generally have wider vessels with simple perforations, an adaptation for conductive efficiency. Based on these results, the implications of stem anatomy for rattan biogeography, systematics and identification are discussed, and identification keys to species presented.     

六种藓类植物茎的比较解剖学研究

Stomata in some species of genus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Arum</Emphasis> from the Eastern Slavonia and Baranya region

Types and the number of stomata in the following Arum species: Arum italicum Mill., Arum maculatum var. maculatum L. and Arum maculatum var. immaculatum L., Arum alpinum var. pannonicum Terpo. and Arum alpinum var. intermedium Schur. in three different locations in Zablaće, Normanci and Bilje were investigated. The most prevalent stomata type at both upper and lower epidermis for each Arum species was mostly stomata type paracytic, followed by hexacytic, tetracytic or brachyparacytic as far as locality is concerned. Helicocytic type was more prevalent in Arum alpinum var. pannonicum Terpo. and Arum alpinum var. intermedium Schur. at Bilje. Other stomata types were very rare. A striking regularity in the occurrence of stomata types was not found within a single species. Some stomata types, however, were found either at adaxial or abaxial epidermis or were not present at all. The number of stomata per square mm varied from 25 to 651. A statistically significant difference in the number of stomata per square mm at upper and lower epidermis among Arum species was determined in locations Zablaće and Normanci, whereas no statistically significant differences were found in location Bilje.     

Anatomy and uses of the mature leaves of three species of Sabal (Arecaceae) of the Yucatan, México

This paper describes the leaf anatomy of Sabal mauritiiformis (Karst.) Griseb. & H. Wendl., Sabal mexicana Mart. and Sabal yapa Wright ex Becc., three of the four most representative species of the Yucatán Península, in Mexico. These species are locally used: in the roofing of traditional homes, as food (fruits and apical buds), and in the production of hats, brooms and handicrafts. Leaf samples were collected in secondary growth of lower montane rainforest in the state of Quintana Roo and in two home gardens in the state of Yucatán. Herbarium samples were obtained, and samples of blade and petiole were fixed in formaline-acetic acid-alcohol. Cross incisions were made on the blade and petiole, and were dyed with safranin and toluidine blue O. The results show that S. mauritiiformis and S. yapa are morphologically alike: both are tall, slim palm trees; the leaf in S. mauritiiformis is a shorter palm-like structure compared with the other two species. The shape of the main nerve, as seen in cross section, is rectangular in the three species. The hastula in the three species is acuminate and adaxial. The foliar anatomic structure is similar in the three species, although there are some differences. The adaxial an abaxial epidermis of the blade consist of one layer and, superficially, the anticlinal walls are straight; the stomata are intercostal, of the tetracytic type, present on both surfaces in S. mexicana and S. yapa and only on the abaxial surface on S. mauritiiformis. The hypodermis is one layer thick in S. yapa and in S. mexicana and two layers thick in S. mauritiiformis. In the three species the palisade parenchyma consists of several undefined strata as the cells are similar-in shape and size--to the cells in the spongy parenchyma, so there is no marked difference between these strata and the spongy parenchyma seems almost continuous. Both fibrous and vascular bundles are distributed between the hypodermis and the palisade parenchyma; the fiber bundles can be found towards the abaxial surface while the vascular and fiber bundles are located towards the adaxial surface. The fibers, in the three species, are elongated, with the pointed tips, undivided and unseptated. One to three wide vessels of metaxilem can be seen in the vascular bundles, those in S. yapa being the widest in diameter. The vascular bundles are surrounded by thick fiber sheaths which come in pairs. The anatomic structure of the petiole is similar to that of the blade, and is characterized by the many vascular and fiber bundles dispersed in the parenchymatous tissue, and which are very resistant. The histological structure of the blade and petiole reflects strength and flexibility, qualities which make these plants adequate in the construction of roofs for rural housing and other buildings.     

Comparative vegetative anatomy and systematics of Spiranthoideae (Orchidaceae)

STERN, W. L., MORRIS, M. W., JUDD, W. S., PRIDGEON, A. M. & DRESSLER, R. L. 1993. Comparative vegetative anatomy and systematics of Spiranthoideae (Orchidaceae). The anatomy of leaf, stem and root of plants in the orchid subfamily Spiranthoideae was studied and described from the viewpoint of systematics. Plants were available from most of the geographic range. Tribes Diceratosteleae and Tropidieae show sinuous anticlinal epidermal cell walls in leaves, glandular foliar hairs, tetracytic para-mesoperigenous stomata, unitary tracheary components in the foliar midrib, foliar and cauline stegmata and sclerenchyma, typical cruciate starch grains, thick-walled exodermal, endodermal, and pericyclic cells, and conductive strands of the root embedded in sclerenchyma. The tribe Cranichideae shows straight to curvilinear anticlinal epidermal cell walls in leaves, lack glandular foliar hairs, have variably patterned mesoperigenous stomata, lack sclerenchyma throughout the parts studied, have a binary tracheary component in the foliar midrib, store starch in specialized amyloplasts (spiranthosomes), lack stegmata, have thin-walled exodermal, endodermal, and pericyclic cells, show scalariform thickenings in exodermal cells, and have conductive strands of the root embedded in parenchyma. In Cryptostylis the tracheary component of the foliar midrib is unitary, stomata lack subsidiary cells, starch grains are of the typical cruciate configuration, and passage cells of the endodermis are apparently associated with tilosomes. Anatomical data, when analysed cladistically, support the hypothesis that Spiranthoideae, as currently delimited, are polyphyletic. Corymborkis, Tropidia, and Diceratostele are more closely related to Palmorchis, a likely representative of a basal clade within subfamily Epidendroideae, than to genera of Cranichideae. Likewise, members of Cranichideae are more closely related to Diuris, a representative of subfamily Orchidoideae-tribe Diurideae, than to Corymborkis, Tropidia and Diceratostele. The Corymborkis– Tropidia-Diceratostele-bassd epidendroid [Palmorchis) clade may be diagnosed by the foliar synapomorphies of sinuous anticlinal walls of epidermal cells and presence of glandular hairs. The Cranichideae-orchidoid (Diuris) clade may be diagnosed by its variably patterned, mesoperigenous stomata, lack of vascular bundle sclerenchyma, absence of stegmata, unthickened endodermal cell walls in roots, and conductive cells of roots embedded in parenchyma. Relationships within this clade are quite unresolved, when only anatomical data are employed; however, all studied genera of Cranichideae, except Cryptostylis, possess a binary tracheary component in the foliar midrib. Cranichideae, excluding Cryptostylis, may be considered monophyletic. All Cranichideae, except Helaeria and Cryptostylis, possess spiranthosomes. Hetaeria may be a basal member within Cranichideae. We consider the phylogenetic position of Cryptostylis, in relation to Cranichideae vs. Diurideae, to be equivocal.     

极小种群野生植物大树杜鹃的解剖结构研究

大树杜鹃(Rhododendron protistum var.giganteum)是杜鹃花科(Ericaceae)杜鹃属的常绿乔木,由于分布地域的局限性和资源的稀少性,该植物被列为我国首批极小种群野生植物保护名录。本文采用石蜡切片法和叶表皮装片法对大树杜鹃叶片、幼茎和根的解剖结构进行了研究,并利用扫描电镜对其种子表面纹饰、气孔以及叶毛被特征进行了观察。石蜡切片显微观察结果显示,大树杜鹃根的次生结构主要由周皮和维管柱组成,茎的解剖结构由表皮、皮层、韧皮部、木质部和髓组成;大树杜鹃的叶为异面叶,上表皮具角质层,气孔器只分布于下表皮,气孔器类型为无规则型,叶脉具发达的维管束鞘延伸区。扫描电镜观察结果发现,大树杜鹃叶片毛被由两层不同类型的毛组成,即上面一层为海绵状绒毛,下面一层为短的薄片状绒毛;种子具翅,有明显的背腹面之分,背腹面纵纹明显。该研究结果为进一步探明大树杜鹃的生物学特征、确定其系统分类位置和探讨其生境适应性提供了科学依据。
