水鳖科9属15种植物花粉形态的研究

应用光学显微镜、扫描电镜和透射电镜对水鳖科Hydrocharitaceae 9属15种植物的花粉形态进行 了观察。水鳖科植物花粉为圆球形至近椭球形,无萌发孔或偶为单沟萌发孔,外壁纹饰通常为小刺状纹 饰,刺密集或稀疏,花粉表面具瘤状、疣状、颗粒状、皱波状突起或光滑。外壁由覆盖层、柱状层和基层组 成。覆盖层厚或较薄,柱状层小柱发育不明显,基层薄。水鳖科植物在花粉大小、纹饰类型、刺的长短、 密度、形态、萌发孔的有无以及花粉壁的结构等方面表现出了较为明显的差异,这些特征对探讨类群间 关系具有较重要意义。由于黑藻属Hydrilla和Stratiotes属花粉较为特殊,支持将它们各自作为一个独立 的族处理。水鳖科植物花粉外壁纹饰和结构特点表明该科与水雍科Aponogetonaceae、泽泻科Alismataceae 和花蔺科Butomaceae等近缘,而该科植物花粉大多无萌发孔等则反应了该科与茨藻目Najadales植物有密切联系。

The Pollen Morphology and Exine Ultrastructure of Paeonia L in China

The pollen morphology of 9 species of Paeonia L. has been investigated with both light microscope and scanning electron microscope. In addition, the exine structure of pollen grains of Paeonia suffruticosa and P. lactiflora was examined by transmission electron microscope. Tricolporoidate aperture is an important character of the pollen grains of the Paeonia. The surface of the exine is characterized by reticulate, foveolate and irregularly tuberculate-foveolate sculpture under the SEM. Thin sections of the pollen of this genus shows that the layers of exine are complete i.e. a perforate rectum to semitectum, columellae and foot layers. The endexine is continuous, considerably thickened in the aperture areas and relatively thin or indistinct in the mesocolpia. Paeonia has been placed in Ranunculaceae. But since the beginning of this century many authors have suggested to separating Paeonia from Ranunculaceae. Pollen marphology supports such separation. In Ranunculaceae most pollen grains are tricolpate or have other types of aperture, and exine with spinules and perforations between them. In electron microscopy, the ektexine contains a foot layer, columellae, and perforate rectum, the columellar layer with two types of columellae; the endexine is generally thin. However, the columellar layer of Paeonia has only monomorphic columellae. Some authors considered that there is a close relationship between Paeonia and the Dilleniaceae, but these also differ in the characters of the pollen grains. In Paeonia the constriction of the colpus in equator is in some degree similar to that of Theaceae (Camellia sasanqua Thunb.), Guttiferae (Hypericum L.), Actinidiaceae and Rosaceae. But in the other respects they are quite different. In sum, the pollen morphology of Paeonia is unique. So the palynological information supports Takhtajan's view that Paeonia should be elevated to a family (Paeoniaceae) or order (Paeoniales).

Studies on Pollen Morphology of Podocarpaceae from China

The pollen morphology and ultrastructure of exine of Podocarpaceae in China were examined with light microscope, scanning electron microscope and transmission electron microscope. The pollen grains of Podocarpus have rather large and prominent sacs on both sides of body, and are 53.9-74.8 μm long in total, with their bodies 29.6-45.2 μm long and 19.1-31.3 μm wide. The sacs are smooth on outer surface with perforation, but reticulate inside. On distal view, they are obviously of radial muri from its base. The body is oblate or spheroidal, laddershaped on distal face. The exine of the capis tuberculate, but more distinctly on the margin than in the centre. The pollen grains of Dacrydium are of small and indistinct sacs around body, which are composed of many small bladders. The body is subcircular in outline. Both body and sacs are irrugulate tuberculate under SEM. Examination of thin sections of Podocarpus macrophyllus var. maki with TEM reveals that the exine includes ectexine and endexine. It is interesting to note that foot layer of ectexine possesses lamellar stru cture, but endexine is homogeneous in structure and lighter in colour. This character is specific in the gymnosperms. Based on informations of fossil pollen grains, Podocarpaceae is rather primitive and of ancient origin.

Pollen morphology of the genus Nothofagus and its taxonomic significance

The present paper describes the pollen morphology of 26 species and 2 varieties in Nothofagus from Australia, New Zealand, New Caledonia, New Guinea and South America. Pollen grains were all examined with light microscope (LM), scanning electron microscope ( SEM ) and transmission electron microscope(TEM). A comparative analysis of pollen exine ultrastructure was made for some species. The results are summarised as follows: Pollen grains are oblate to peroblate, 5～8-short-colpate, rarely 4- or 9-colpate; colpi generally thickened at margins; pollen surface spinulose. The exine ultrastructure of Nothofagus differs considerably from that of the other genera in the Fagaceae. The pollen grains of the species examined here show great differences in shape, size, colpal number and characteristics of colpi at margins and could be divided into three distinct types, i.e. N. brassii type; N. menziesii type and N. fusca type.

Pollen Morphology of Guttiferae in China

The present paper deals with the pollen morphology of 23 species belonging to 6 genera of Guttiferae occurred in China. All pollen grains have been observed under light microscope, and those of 11 species in 5 genera have been examined with SEM as well. The pollen grains of Guttiferae are subspheroidal, spheroidal or prolate, (17–43) × (15–26)μ in size. Mostly 3-eolporate, less frequently 4-colporate or 5-colporate. The exine is 2-layered, but the occassionally demarcation of these layers is generally indistinct. The exine is 0.8–2.6 μ in thickness. The oramentations of all the pollen grains is generlly finely reticulate under the light microscope. Pollen morphology of the 11 species of 5 genera observed under the SEM is stressed. Their exine oramentations may be classified into four major groups, ie. reticulate, finely reticulate, baculate and perforate. Calophyllum: pollen grains reticulate and rugulo-reticulate. Cratoxylon: pollen grains reticulate, with finely and densely granulate over entire muri. Gareinia: pollen grains baculate, reticulate, and exine with perforate oramentation; in reticulate grains, muri with spinulation. Hypericum: pollen grains reticulate, perforate and finely reticulate. Mesua: pollen grains finely reticulate. From the comparison of pollen morphology, Hypericaceae has much connection with Guttiferae (sensu stricto). Because their pollen grains are all 3-eolporate and the exine is reticulate or oerforate under light mieroseope, but it is different between the pollen grains of Hypericum and those of Guttiferae.     

PHENOTYPIC PLASTICITY IN SCENEDESMUS COMMUNIS (CHLOROPHYCEAE). I. RELATIONSHIP OF S. COMMUNIS TO S. KOMAREKII1

When scenedesmus communis Hegew. (UTEX 76) was transferred daily in dilute media and a low cell density was maintained (ca. 1000 cells · mL^?1), up to 30% unicells were produced in that population. Unlike previously described uncell-coenobium-unicell transformation with other species, these unicells never produced S. communis coenobia (large coenobium type, LCT) but rather small coenobium type (SCT) resembling S. komarekii Hegew. Growth and morphological development of the paratype strain of S. komarekii (UTEX 1236) was compared with an isolated SCT strain (SCT 76–8). SCT 76–8 never produced LCTs and grew significantly faster than UTEX 1236. Both SCT 76–8 and UTEX 1236 produced uncells at low cell densities. Coenobia formed when cell densities increased over time in batch cultures. SCT 76–8 and UTEX 1236 did not differ morphologically when viewed with the light microscope. Under scanning electron microscopy, an outer opaque layer covered an inner warty layer on unicells. The outer layer was reduced or absent in coenobia from batch cultures in stationary growth. In addition, long spikelets, not present on the walls of unicells, were prominent on coenobial walls. The spikelets of UTEX 1236 appeared smaller and more uniformly distributed than in strain 76–8. In contrast, the surface wall morphology of LCT S. communis was composed of an outer reticulate layer supported by spikelets and appeared as a pentagonal meshwork covering the cell walls. This phenotypic plasticity, as demonstrated by SEM and light microscopy, provides further evidence needed for an understanding of Scenedesmus evolution.     

Studies on Pollen Morphology and Exine Ultrastructure in Cephalotaxaceae

The pollen morphology of Cephalotaxaceae was examined with LM, SEM and TEM. Pollen grains in this family are spheroidal or subspheroidal, rounded in polar view, but usually wrinkled with irregular shape. Pollen size is 22.6- 34.8 μm in diameter. There is a distinct or indistinct tenuity on distal face. The tenuity occasionally slightly rises above the outline of pollen grains, but often sukened. Exine rather thin, 1—1.5μm thick, layers obscure, surface of pollen grains is nearly psilate or weakly granulate. Under SEM exine is covered with fine and dense granules, and sparse Ubisch bodies are found on the granular layer. The Ubisch bodies are provided with minute gemmate processes on the surface. Acorrding to our observation under TEM, exine consists of ectexine and lamellate endexine, with the former divided into outer ectexine of granules densely arranged and inner ectexine of loosely arranged microgranules. Granules of the outer ectexine are relatively thick, and connected with each other, forming a structure just like tectum or separate from each other. Microgranules of the inner ectexine are distinct or indistinct. Endexine is provided with 5- 7 lamellae. As far as information of pollen morphology is concerned, Cephalotaxus oliveri is rather special in the Cephalotaxaceae. First, the tenuity in pollen grains occupies one half of the distal part, much larger than that of the other species in the family. Second, the ectexine in Cephalotaxus oliveri may be divided into two distinct layers, outer ectexine and inner ectexine. The former is made of a layer of sporopollenin masses, which are connected with each other to form tectumlike structure, while the latter consists of a layer of loosely arranged granules or small segments of sporopollenin. The inner ectexine is different from that of other species by having a thicker layer of sporopollenin granules. Based on these two features, we support the division of Cephalotaxus into two Sections, Sect. Pectinatae and Sect. Cephalotaxus. Pollen grains of Cephalotaxaceae are similar to those of the Taxaceae in having spheroidal shape and the tenuity on its distal face. These characteristics strengthen the evidence for a close relationship between the Cephalotaxaceae and Taxaceae. Although pollen grains of the Cephalotaxaceae and Taxaceae are similar in some characteristics, they have obvious differences in , for example, size of tenuity, the fine structure of Ulbisch bodies and of the outer and inner ectexine. On the basis of pollen morphology, the present author considers theCephalotaxaceae slightly more primitive than the Taxaceae.

水稻愈伤组织内部胚性细胞的形成及发育

发育成胚状体的水稻愈伤组织表面胚性细胞, 在继代过程中被非胚性细胞旺盛的分裂所包围, 渐渐形成内部胚性细胞。其形态结构与表面胚性细胞相同, 但周围缺乏表面细胞下面的一层至几层含丰富的淀粉粒的细胞。内部胚性细胞形成团后先在以处形成突起, 产生根冠原, 逐渐形成根而突出愈伤组织。内部胚性细胞可向四周同时但不同步形成根冠原。未见芽或胚状体从内部胚性细胞产生。推测胚性愈伤组织失支胚胎发生能力及分化能力可能部分地与胚性细胞部分裂或分裂不旺盛、而非胚性细胞分裂旺盛从而使胚性细胞被包围、稀释有关。

The Pollen Morphology in Relation to the Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Fagaceae

The present paper deals with the pollen morphology of 103 species belonging to sixgenera-Castanea, Castanopsis, Lithocarpus, Quercus, Fagus and Trigonobalanus in threesubfamilies-Castaneoideae, Quercoideae and Fagoideae. All pollen grains were examinedunder light microscope and scanning electron microscope, and those of some species were ex-amined under transmission electron microscope. The results may be summarised as follows:1. Pollen morphology of Fagaceae, seems to support division of the family into threesubfamilies. Fagoideae, Castaneoideae and Quercoideae.2. Four types of pollen grains are recognized in Fagaceae:1) Fagus-type (representative genus: Fagus): pollen granis are oblate-sphaeroidal,(31.5-39.9) x (35.7 46.2) μm in size, 3(-4)-colporate, peritreme or goniotreme, granulate-ornate under LM., granulate or verrucate under SEM.2) Trigonobalanus-type (T. doichangensis): pollen grains are suboblate-sphaeroidal,(23.1-29.4) ×(25.2-29.4) μm in size, 3-colporate, goniotreme, obscurely granulate-ornateunder LM, densely granulate or verrucate under SEM.3) Quercus-type (Quercus): pollen grains are subspheroidal-subprolate, (21-44.3)× (16.8-39.9) μm in size. 3-colporoidate (-3-colpate), peritreme, crassgranulate or finely-gra-nulate under LM, tuberculate verrucate or spinate under SEM.4) Castanea-type (including Castanea, Castanopsis, Lithocarpus): Pollen grains areprolate-supraprolate, (14.7-23.1)×(10.5-16.8)μm in size; 3-colporate, peritreme, obscu-rely ornate or subpsilate, under LM, rugulose, striate-rugulate or crass-striate under SEM.3. Pollen grains of Cyclobalanopsis age very similar to those of Quercus, and there-fore we support the treatment of Cyclobalanopsis as a subgenus of Quercus.4. On the basis of shape, type of aperture and exine structure, pollen of Trigonobalanusis distinguishable from those of the other genera in Fagaceae and it may be a new type of Fagaceae;5. On the basis of pollen morphology, morphological characters and geological stratification a scheme of phylogeny of Fagaceae is here presented.     

Fusion of mammalian oocytes: SEM observations of surface changes

Mouse oocytes at the germinal vesicle (GV) stage were fused with maturing oocytes in which GVs were no longer visible. The fused cells were fixed at different time-intervals after the initiation of fusion and prepared for scanning electron microscope (SEM) observation. Concomitantly, some fused cells were prepared for light microscope evaluation. Our SEM observations showed no significant differences in surface morphology between immature and maturing oocytes. However, immediately after fusion was initiated, dramatic changes occurred on the surface of the maturing oocytes. The microvilli were shortened or disappeared locally and the plasma membrane was deeply ruffled. One hour after fusion, when the giant cells were nearly spherical, the microvilli reappeared and the ruffling gradually disappeared. In some areas, the microvilli were extremely long. Three hours after fusion, the fused cells were perfectly round and their surfaces were generally covered with microvilli of equal length. No further ruffling was observed. It is suggested that cytoplasmic mechanisms regulate the surface morphology of the oocytes during fusion.     

Enhanced bioelectrochemical performance caused by porous metal-organic framework MIL-53(Fe) as the catalyst in microbial fuel cells

To enhance the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and power generation capacity of a microbial fuel cell (MFC), MIL-53(Fe) (Fe-based Materials of Institute Lavoisier) as the electrochemical catalyst was synthesized using the hydrothermal method. The catalytic structure and morphology of all materials were comprehensively characterized by Fourier Transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectrometer (EDS). The results show that there were many nanopores on MIL-53(Fe), which improved the electrocatalytic activity. The MIL-53(Fe)-modified air cathode MFC had a voltage output of approximately 0.37 V and maintained that output for one week. The maximum power density was 397 ± 6.3 mW/m². MIL-53(Fe) was an excellent electrochemical catalyst, significantly enhancing the catalytic oxygen reduction ability and promoting the power output of the MFC. This study provides a method to apply MIL-53(Fe) materials in microbial fuel cells.
