中华蜜蜂工蜂视叶的胚后发育

为了研究蜜蜂视叶的胚后发育模式, 本研究通过形态解剖、免疫组织化学技术, 对中华蜜蜂Apis cerana cerana工蜂视叶的胚后发育过程进行了系统的比较研究。结果表明: 中华蜜蜂的视叶起源自幼虫早期脑内部的两个视原基。 外部视原基经过不对称的细胞分裂产生神经节母细胞, 随后这些细胞经过快速的对称分裂, 复制自身并生成视髓层神经细胞; 外部视原基的极少数细胞分裂产生视神经节层神经节母细胞, 到蛹发育中期, 随着视神经进入的刺激, 神经节层神经细胞才开始快速增殖, 并最终形成了视神经节层的所有结构。 内部视原基的分裂方式同外部视原基相同, 最终生成视叶的视小叶部分。本研究结果提示中华蜜蜂的视叶起源自两个视原基, 大多数神经细胞在前蛹期产生, 视神经的进入刺激了视神经节层的发育。     

铁木属(桦木科)花序及花的形态发生

在扫描电镜下观察了桦木科(Betulaceae)铁木属花序和花的形态发生过程。结果显示, 铁木雌花序由多个小聚伞花序螺旋状排列组成。每个小花序原基分化出1枚初级苞片和一团小花序原基分生组织, 由小花序原基分生组织分化形成1对次级苞片和2个花原基, 每个花原基分化出2个或3个心皮原基, 形成二心皮或三心皮雌蕊, 雌蕊基部有1层环状花被原基。雄花序为柔荑状, 由多个小聚伞花序螺旋状排列组成。每个小花序原基分化出1枚初级苞片和一团小花序原基分生组织, 由小花序原基分生组织分化出3个花原基分区, 位于中央的花原基分区, 分化形成5-6枚雄蕊原基, 两侧的花原基分区, 分别分化形成3-4枚雄蕊原基, 雄蕊原基分化形成四药囊雄蕊。雄蕊原基纵裂, 但花丝纵裂没有达到基部。     

“兰甜5号”甜瓜花芽发育的研究

本工作观察了“兰甜5号”甜瓜雄花和两性花的发生与发育过程。花萼与花冠下部连合生长形成“花筒”。雄花发育早期分化出五个雄蕊原基,最后形成两大一小的三个雄蕊或一大三小的四个雄蕊,也有少数形成五个雄蕊。两性花中花萼、花冠及雄蕊的发生和发育情况基本上和雄花相似。两性花的中央大部分具有三个心皮原基,形成三心皮一室的下位子房,也有一部分具四个心皮原基,形成四心皮一室下位子房。     

融安黄竹小穗和小花的形态发育

运用扫描电镜对融安黄竹Dendrocalamus ronganensis的小穗和小花的发生发育及形态结构进行了研究。其小穗的发育过程是: 小穗原基→第一颖片原基→第二颖片原基→第一朵小花的外稃原基→第一朵小花原基→第二朵小花的外稃原基→第二朵小花原基。小穗为由2个颖片和1-2朵小花组成的假小穗。其小花发育的过程是: 内稃原基→雄蕊原基→雌蕊原基。内稃在发生上由彼此独立的两个突起形成, 随着发育逐渐愈合。观察结果支持内稃是双起源的说法。雄蕊原基近两轮发生。雌蕊原基由小花原基的中央部分直接发育而成。在小花的发育过程中, 未观察到鳞被原基的发生。该种的小花是无花被的, 结构较为简化, 为外稃和内稃包裹的雄蕊和雌蕊组成的结构。与近缘类群做比较, 探讨了小穗和小花在竹亚科中的演化。     

眼子菜的花器官发生

运用扫描电镜观察了眼子菜的花器官发生过程。结果表明：花原基从花序轴的基部开始以三数 交互轮状的方式发生,在花原基发生的早期具有明显的苞片原基形成。花器官是以向心的方式发生的, 二枚侧方花被片原基首先形成,紧接着产生二枚中间花被片。四枚雄蕊分两轮分别在与侧方花被和中 间花被相对的位置发生,四枚雄蕊原基在发生时均呈长条形。上述四轮花被和雄蕊虽然在时间上以二 数轮状的方式发生,但在空间上花被片和雄蕊各自分别排成一轮。最后,二个心皮原基在花原基顶端略 偏于一侧并与雄蕊相间的位置同时发生。有些花的二枚心皮原基发生后其中一枚很早即停止生长或仅 有一枚心皮原基形成。本文结果支持了眼子菜属心皮数目逐渐向简化的方向演化的观点。在花原基早期发育的过程中苞片原基的存在表明眼子菜属植物成熟花中缺乏苞片是简化的结果。     

花叶芋(天南星科)的花器官发生

利用扫描电镜首次观察了天南星科花叶芋(Colocasia bicolor) 的花器官发生过程。花叶芋的肉穗花序由无花被的单性花构成, 雌花发生于花序基部, 雄花发生于花序上部, 中性花位于花序中间部位。雄花: 3 或4 个初生雄蕊原基轮状发生, 随后每个初生原基一分为二, 形成6或8个次生原基; 一部分次生原基在其后的发育过程中融合, 形成5 或7 枚雄蕊; 雄花发育过程中未见雌性结构的分化; 花药的分化先于花丝; 雄蕊合生成雄蕊柱。雌花: 合生心皮, 3或4个心皮原基轮状发生, 未见雄性结构的分化。中性花来源于雌雄花序过渡带上, 属于雄蕊原基的滞后发育以及发育成熟过程中的退化; 与彩叶芋属(Caladium)不同, 此过渡区未见畸形两性花。初生雄蕊原基二裂产生次生原基的次生现象在目前天南星科花器官发生中显得比较特殊, 同时初步探讨了次生原基的融合方式。

基部被子植物雪香兰（金粟兰科）单性花的形态发生和发育

基部被子植物金粟兰科（Chloranthaceae）的单性花或两性花结构十分简单,雪香兰（Hedyosmum orientale）花单性、雌雄异株,花的形态及结构与其它属物种具有显著的差异,对于研究被子植物花特别是花被的起源和系统进化具有重要意义。该研究采用电子显微镜和光学显微镜观察了雪香兰单性花的器官发生及发育过程。结果表明,雌、雄花均为顶生和腋生,多个小花呈聚伞圆锥状排列。雄花外侧是苞片,每朵雄花上着生150–200个雄蕊,花轴基部着生少数退化的叶原体。苞片原基及其腋生的花原基最初呈圆丘状,随后伸长。在雄花发育过程中,苞片原基比雄蕊原基生长快,雄花原基纵向伸长,叶原体原基在基部发生,雄蕊原基自下而上发生。每2朵雌花底部合生形成小聚伞花序,每朵雌花被一苞叶包裹,由单心皮和三棱型子房构成,外覆三裂叶状花被。在雌花发育过程中,雌花原基比苞片原基生长快,花被原基首先于花顶端发生,随后花顶端中心凹陷,进一步发育成具有单心皮的子房原基。雪香兰的单性花发育不经过两性同体阶段,花分生组织只起始雄蕊器官或雌蕊器官的发育。研究结果支持雪香兰单性花是原始性状的观点,雄花叶原体与雌花三裂叶状花被同源,可能是花被（萼片与花瓣）的起源。     

COMPARATIVE STUDY ON EARLY ONTOGENY OF COMPOUND LEAVES IN LARDIZABALACEAE

The early ontogeny of the pinnately, palmately, and ternately compound leaves in the Lardizabalaceae was studied by SEM. The leaf primordium of each of the three leaf types emerges as an identical short protrusion on the shoot apex; the leaf primordium produces the first leaflet initials laterally on its margin. Successive acropetal growth of the leaf axis and the following inception of the leaflet primordia are responsible for the pinnately compound leaf, whereas short basipetal growth accompanied with initiation of two or more pairs of leaflet initials results in a palmately compound leaf. If no elongation of the leaf axis nor additional inception of leaflet primordia occur during early ontogeny, a ternate leaf ensues.     

LEAF DEVELOPMENT IN DOXANTHA UNGUIS-CATI (BIGNONIACEAE)

Leaf structure in Doxantha unguis-cati is polymorphic. The usual mature compound leaf is composed of two lanceolate leaflets and a terminal tripartite spine-tendril. Leaf primordia are initiated simultaneously in pairs on opposite flanks of the shoot apical meristem by periclinal cell divisions in the third subsurface layer of the peripheral flank meristem. Two leaflet primordia are the first lateral appendages of the compound leaf. Initiation of these leaflet primordia occurs on the adaxial side of a compound leaf primordium 63–70 μm long. Lamina formation is initiated at the base of a leaflet primordium 70–90 μm long and continues acropetally. Mesophyll differentiation occurs in later stages of development of leaflets. The second pair of lateral appendages of the leaf primordium differentiate as prongs of the tendril. Initiation of the second pair of lateral appendages occurs on the adaxial side of a primordium approximately 168 μm long. Acropetal procambialization and vacuolation of cells extend to the apex of tendrils about 112 μm long, restricting the tendril meristem to the adaxial side of the primordium and resulting in curvature of the tendril. The tendril meristem is gradually limited to a more basipetal position as elongation of apical cells continues. Initiatory divisions and early ontogenetic stages of leaflets and tendrils are similar. Their ontogeny differs when the lateral primordia are approximately 70 μm long. Marginal and submarginal initials differentiate within leaflets but not in tendrils. Apical growth of tendrils ceases very early in ontogeny as compared with leaflets.     

The determination of pea leaves,leaflets, and tendrils

Pea leaf determination was examined by culturing excised leaf, leaflet, and tendril primordia of different ages on a nutrient medium. Pinna primordia were designated as 1) determined, if they grew normally in culture; 2) undetermined, if they grew into differentiated structures that were morphologically and anatomically different from either leaflet or tendril; or 3) partially determined, if the two pinnae of an opposite pair developed unequally in isolation, or for leaflet pinnae only, if laminae were initiated but did not develop completely. The compound pea leaf as a whole is determined over four plastochrons of development. Proximal pinnae are determined during the second leaf plastochron, approximately 0.8 plastochron after their initiation. The second most proximal pair of pinnae is determined during the third plastochron, and the terminal portion of the rachis is determined last, during the fourth plastochron. Determination of leaflet dorsiventrality is gradual, requiring a critical minimum period with the leaf in physiological contact with the shoot system. The rachis primordium, when isolated from the shoot, does not affect determination of its pinnae as leaflets or tendrils. Afila and tendril-less homeotic mutations do not alter the timing of pinna determination.     

Pea compound leaf architecture is regulated by interactions among the genes UNIFOLIATA, cochleata, afila, and tendril-lessn

The compound leaf primordium of pea represents a marginal blastozone that initiates organ primordia, in an acropetal manner, from its growing distal region. The UNIFOLIATA (UNI) gene is important in marginal blastozone maintenance because loss or reduction of its function results in uni mutant leaves of reduced complexity. In this study, we show that UNI is expressed in the leaf blastozone over the period in which organ primordia are initiated and is downregulated at the time of leaf primordium determination. Prolonged UNI expression was associated with increased blastozone activity in the complex leaves of afila (af), cochleata (coch), and afila tendril-less (af tl) mutant plants. Our analysis suggests that UNI expression is negatively regulated by COCH in stipule primordia, by AF in proximal leaflet primordia, and by AF and TL in distal and terminal tendril primordia. We propose that the control of UNI expression by AF, TL, and COCH is important in the regulation of blastozone activity and pattern formation in the compound leaf primordium of the pea.

The Effect of Temperature on the Initiation of Leaf Primordia in Developing Potato Sprouts

Kirk, W W., Davies, H. V. and Marshall, B. 1985. The effectof temperature on the initiation of leaf primordia in developingpotato sprouts.—J. exp. Bot. 36: 1634–1643. Initiation of leaf primordia in potato sprouted out of soilin light was an asymptotic function of thermal time and thebase temperature for the process was 3.6 °C. The parametervalues of the asymptotic function were universal for cv. MarisPiper. The estimated rate of leaf primordium initiation decreasedlinearly from 0.033 leaf pnmordia (K day)^–1 when abouteight leaf primordia were present to zero after a maximum numberof 24 leaf primordia had been initiated. The decrease in rateof development with increasing number of primordia may be dueto depletion of mother tuber resources. The transition of theapex from a vegetative to a reproductive state was not the factorlimiting the initiation of additional leaf primordia.

THE SHOOT APEX AND EARLY LEAF DEVELOPMENT IN CLEMATIS

Tepfer , Sanford S. (U. Oregon, Eugene.) The shoot apex and early leaf development in Clematis . Amer. Jour. Bot. 47 (8): 655–664. Illus. 1960.—The high-domed shoot apex comprises a 2-layered tunica and shallow corpus. The rib meristem at times extends to within 5 cells of the summit. The cells of tunica and corpus are uniform cytologically, distinguishable only by the orientation of division planes. No zonation is visible within the corpus. No evidence was found of the existence of a méristème d'attente; mitotic figures appear frequently in the central region of the tunica and corpus. Decussately arranged leaf primordia arise high on the flanks of the apex. Periclinal divisions in the inner tunica and outermost corpus layers mark the site of initiation. Details of the growth and early differentiation of the leaf primordia follow the usual pattern of buttress formation, growth through apical and subapical initials. Apical growth continues beyond the early stages of leaf ontogeny; the blade-forming marginal meristems do not appear until after leaflet primordia are formed. There are 5 primary leaflets, pinnately arranged. Each leaflet is 3- to 5-lobed. In primordium P₃ expansion of the adaxial-lateral margins occurs at the base, but not above. This marks the upper limits of the basal pair of lateral leaflets. In P₄ the upper limits of the upper lateral leaflets become demarcated in similar fashion.     

Effects of Developing Leaves on Stelar Pattern Development in the Shoot Apex of Matteuccia struthiopteris

A developmental study of the normal shoot apex of Matteucciastruthiopteris suggested that patterned stelar differentiationis initiated immediately beneath the single layer of promeristemand occurs prior to the initiation of the youngest leaf primordium.A developmental study in which all leaf primordia were suppressed,with or without lateral isolation of the terminal meristem byvertical incisions, has confirmed this interpretation of stelardifferentiation. Experimentally-induced changes in the tissueimmediately below the promeristem were reflected in the resultingmature structure of the stele. Failure of leaf gap initialsto differentiate, if all leaf primordia were suppressed at theincipient stage, resulted in a mature stele without leaf gaps.Similarly the disappearance of pith mother cells after severalweeks of leaf removal was associated with the formation of astele without pith. Leaf influence was further assessed by allowingone primordium to develop while all others were suppressed.The developing leaf had a small promoting effect on caulinevascular tissue differentiation but its major impact on theexpansion of the parenchymatous tissues of the stele. Characteristicprotoxylem and protophloem failed to differentiate when allleaves were suppressed and, when leaf was allowed to develop,formed only in relation to the leaf.Copyright 1995, 1999 AcademicPress Leaf influence, vascular pattern formation, experimental surgery, shoot apex development, protoxylem, protophloem, Matteuccia struthiopteris
