基质盐度对木榄叶柄导管分子形态特征的影响

对温室中培养在不同盐度下一年生木榄[Bruguiera gymnorrhiza(L.)Poil]植株上成熟叶的叶柄离析研究的结果表明：1）木榄叶柄导管分子以梯纹导管为主,其次为螺纹导管及它们之间的过渡类型;随着盐度的升高,螺纹导管及它们之间的过渡类型有增多的趋势;2）而叶柄长度,梯纹导管分子的直径、长度及两端梯状穿孔板的横隔条数都与盐度呈抛物线关系,而它们的最大值出现在20‰-30‰范围内;3）培养于盐度10‰的海水中的木榄叶柄中导管分子一端有出现两个朝向不同的梯状穿孔板现象;4）在低盐条件下,随着基质盐度的提高,导管分子的形态朝着有利于加快水分运输的方向发展,而在高盐环境下,导管分子的形态朝着增加水分运输的安全性方向发展。讨论了叶柄导管分子解剖学特征的适应意义。

Vessel member length-diameter and perforation plate-vessel member length relations inDioscorea alata L.

The vessel member length-diameter and perforation plate-vessel member length relations inDioscorea alata L. have been investigated. The two types of vessel elements, one with scalariform perforation plate and the other with foraminate perforation plate, have been considered for correlation tests; the variables being vessel member length and diameter, and vessel member length and perforation plate length. Significant positive correlation was found only in the case of perforation plate length and vessel member length for types with scalariform perforation plates.     

Distribution of scalariform and simple perforation plates within the vessel network in secondary xylem of Araliaceae and its implications for wood evolution

The distribution of scalariform and simple perforation plates along vessels in Arthrophyllum otopyrenum, Meryta tenuifolia, and Polyscias multijuga (Araliaceae) is examined. In all three species, most vessels bear simple perforation plates only, but the combination of simple and scalariform perforation plates in variable ratios also occurs. Aggregated arrangement of scalariform perforation plates along the vessels was statistically confirmed in some vessel portions. The scalariform perforation plates occur mostly in narrow vessels that are grouped in multiples. Within the clade represented by Polyscias and Arthrophyllum, the evolutionary transition from scalariform to simple perforation plates is realized as the gradual elimination of vessels or vessel portions with scalariform perforation plates, but is not accompanied by a gradual decrease of the number of bars per perforation plate. The narrow vessels that are grouped in vessel multiples are likely to retain the ability to develop scalariform plates, which could promote the evolution from simple to scalariform perforation plates as is the case within Meryta.     

Resistances to fluid flow of model xylem vessels with simple and scalariform perforation plates

The resistances of xylem vessel walls and perforation plates has been investigated using 18 large-scale physical models made of plastic tubing into which scale models of plates were inserted. Flow of water through vessels was modelled using glycerol instead of water to keep the Reynolds number below 0.1. The technique proved easy, cheap and reliable.Results showed that perforation plate resistance is low compared with the resistance of the walls, whatever the plate morphology; plates only provided 0.6-18.6% extra resistance. Simple plates provided less resistance than scalariform plates, but because they are arranged closer together in vessels, resistance values (1.7-5.1%) overlap with those of scalariform plates. The resistance of scalariform plates varied in a systematic way with their morphology. For a given plate angle, increasing the number of bars increased resistance. For a given bar number, increasing the angle of the plate to the vessel axis also increased the resistance. However, for a given gap between bars, increasing the angle of the plate to the vessel axis decreased resistance. These results are discussed in the light of theories about the function of perforation plates.Keywords: Flow, xylem vessel, perforation plate, models.

Comparative Anatomical Studies on the Vessel Elements of Chinese Magnolia and Michelia

This paper deals mainly with comparative studies on elements of secondary xylem in 39 species of Chinese Magnolia and Michelia. The former plants present longer and slender vessels. Most of them have simple perforation and only a few scalariform perforation plates. In contrast, most of the Michelia species possess scalariform perforation plates and only one with simple perforation. The scalariform perforation plates of Magnolia species, if present, exhibit more bars than that of Michelia With few exceptions, there is no spiral thickening on the vessel wall in Magnolia, whereas in Michelia it is lust the opposite. In addition, some other differences in vessel elements between these two genera are also discussed.

WOOD ANATOMY OF ILLICIUM (ILLICIACEAE): PHYLOGENETIC,ECOLOGICAL, AND FUNCTIONAL INTERPRETATIONS

Quantitative and qualitative features are reported for 23 collections of ten species of Illicium, sole genus of Illiciaceae. Vessel elements are long, thin-walled, and angular; perforation plates are scalariform and range from long to moderately long; vessel-ray pitting is scalariform to opposite. Tracheids bear fully bordered pits. Axial parenchyma is sparse, abaxial to vessels with some diffuse cells also present. Rays are both multiseriate and uniseriate; the former are lacking near the pith in some species. No erect sheathing cells are present on multiseriate rays, and procumbent cells become more abundant as stems increase in size. Four species from montane subequatorial highlands lack growth rings and helical sculpture in vessels; the remainder of Illicium species have these features. Notably narrow vessels and large numbers of vessels per sq. mm characterize the temperate species from northern limits for the genus, I. anisatum, I. floridanum, and I. parviflorum. Greater vessel density offers redundancy and greater safety and is correlated with greater frost and possibly greater fluctuation in moisture availability. These two ecological features are probably also related to the narrow vessel diameter, which may retard entry of air embolisms (lowered air entry values) in accord with the physiological considerations of Slatyer. Reduction of number of bars per perforation plate within Illicium is also correlated with the more northerly climates. An additional hypothesis for evolution of shorter vessel elements in dicotyledons is introduced: if, as claimed by Slatyer, air embolisms in vessels tend to stop at ends of vessel elements and thus do not disable entire vessels, shorter vessel elements would maximally localize air embolisms. Presence of helical sculpture and other forms of relief within vessels has been difficult to explain in conifers and dicotyledons; such features might help resist cavitations by increasing adhesion of water molecules to cell walls (hydration).
