怀地黄块根的形态发生和结构发育

观察了怀地黄(Rehmannia glutinosa cv．Hueichingensis Hsiao．)块根的形态发生和生长发育过程中的形态结构变化。采用怀地黄的传统栽培方法,即用上一年的块根作母根进行繁殖,分别从母根和不定芽的茎基部发生不定根。怀地黄不定根的初生结构和维管形成层的发生与一般双子叶植物相同,但其次生生长却有两种方式,即正常次生生长和异常次生生长。一类不定根的形成层产生的次生结构与一般双子叶植物相同,即次生木质部中主要是导管,而薄壁细胞较少。这类不定根其次生生长为正常次生生长(normal secondary growth),是担负吸收和固着作用的正常根。另一种类型的不定根,其形成层产生的次生木质部含有大量的薄壁细胞,少量的导管分散在薄壁细胞之间。这种次生生长为异常次生生长(anomalous secondary growth),从而使不定根膨大,形成块根。因此,怀地黄的药用部分在起源和结构上都属于根的性质,其药用部分应称为块根。     

药用植物川牛膝根中异常次生结构的发育解剖学研究

药用植物川牛膝的根内具有异常的次生结构。其异常的次生生长是由维管柱外围发生的异常形成层通过正常的活动方式完成的。后一轮异常形成层起源于前一轮异常形成层向外产生的薄壁组织细胞,位于韧皮部的外侧。每一轮异常形成层向内产生木质部,向外产生韧皮部,组成异常维管束。其中,木质部最先开始分化。异常维管束排成螺旋状,分散在结合组织中。除最外轮一些木质部束之间的结合组织是厚壁组织外,其余结合组织都是薄壁的。由于初生结构和早期的次生结构是正常的,所以,这种异常结构可能是后起的特征。     

麻花秦艽根内中柱裂分的发育解剖研究

通过发育解剖学研究表明,麻花秦艽根的初生结构正常,初生木质部四原型。次生生长的早期阶段也是正常的。在以后的次生生长过程中,由于木质部柱局部区域外的维管形成层向内衍生的细胞分化成木薄壁组织细胞的数量多于导管,从而在木质部内形成薄壁组织细胞区域,并且由于此区域内细胞的增殖,将木质部分成两部分。以后韧皮部也随之分开,从而中柱被分成两个独立的裂分中柱。以后,每个裂分中柱又产生各自的周皮,进而使主根分裂成两个支根。每个支根也可以同样方式分裂产生许多支根。

管花肉苁蓉茎内存在类似于单子叶植物的散生初生维管束。它由散生在基本分生组织中的原形成层束分化而成。在原形成层来分化的过程中,每个原形成层束可通过分离形成2—7个初生维管束,使初生维管束的数目迅速增加。当初生维管束开始正常次生生长时,正常维管束韧皮部外方的薄壁组织细胞或远离维管柬的薄壁组织细胞转变为异常形成层束。异常次生维管束与正常维管束以韧皮部相对或韧皮部并列的方式排列,或异常次生维管束单个存在于薄壁组织中。     

种子植物中的异常形成层

引起种子植物次生生长的维管形成层一般源自原形成层和经过脱分化的薄壁组织,位于木质部和韧皮部之间,向内产生次生木质部和向外产生韧皮部。这类形成层由于普遍存在而又被称为“正常形成层”;另有少数植物的形成层或是因其发生部位,或是因其活动产物异于正常形成层,...

龙眼剥皮再生的解剖学研究

龙眼(Dimocarpus tongan Lour.)茎干经过大面积环剥,都能再生出新皮。环剥初期,愈伤组织都由近暴露面的射线细胞产生,稍后,其他未成熟木质部细胞也参加愈伤组织的形成,这些愈伤组织一般在靠近表面都可发生木栓形成层,以后迅速形成正常的周皮。在愈伤组织与木质部交界处的未成熟木质部细胞发生维管形成层。新发生的形成层正常地向外分化出次生韧皮部,向内分化出次生木质部。初期有些原来的射线将新形成层带分割成许多小区,二个月后,由于新的形成层不断平周活动,逐渐将形成层连成一圈,以后基本上与正常树皮维管组织的发育一样。     

Enhancement of secondary xylem cell proliferation by Arabidopsis cyclin D overexpression in tobacco plants

Secondary xylem is composed of daughter cells produced by the vascular cambium in the stem. Cell proliferation of the secondary xylem is the result of long-range cell division in the vascular cambium. Most xylem cells have a thickened secondary cell wall, representing a large amount of biomass storage. Therefore, regulation of cell division in the vascular cambium and differentiation into secondary xylem is important for biomass production. Cell division is regulated by cell cycle regulators. In this study, we confirm that cell cycle regulators influence cell division in the vascular cambium in tobacco. We produced transgenic tobacco that expresses Arabidopsis thaliana cyclin D2;1 (AtcycD2;1) and AtE2Fa-DPa under the control of the CaMV35S promoter. Each gene is a positive regulator of the cell cycle, and is known to influence the transition from G1 phase to S phase. AtcycD2;1-overexpressing tobacco had more secondary xylem cells when compared with control plants. In order to evaluate cell division activity in the vascular cambium, we prepared a Populus trichocarpa cycB1;1 (PtcycB1;1) promoter containing a destruction box motif for ubiquitination and a β-glucuronidase-encoding gene (PtcycB1;1pro:GUS). In transgenic tobacco containing PtcycB1;1pro:GUS, GUS staining was specifically observed in meristem tissues, such as the root apical meristem and vascular cambium. In addition, mitosis-monitoring plants containing AtcycD2;1 had stronger GUS staining in the cambium when compared with control plants. Our results indicated that overexpression of AtcycD enhances cell division in the vascular cambium and increases secondary xylem differentiation in tobacco. Key message We succeeded in inducing cell proliferation of cambium and enlargement of secondary xylem region by AtcycD overexpression. We also evaluated mitotic activity in cambium using cyclin-GUS fusion protein from poplar.     

Stem anatomy of Dolichos lablab Linn (Fabaceae): Origin of cambium and reverse orientation of vascular bundles

Secondary growth in the stem of Dolichos lablab is achieved by the formation of eccentric successive rings of vascular bundles. The stem is composed of parenchymatous ground tissue and xylem and phloem confined to portions of small cambial segments. However, development of new cambial segments can be observed from the obliterating ray parenchyma, the outermost phloem parenchyma and the secondary cortical parenchyma. Initially cambium develops as small segments, which latter become joined to form a complete cylinder of vascular cambium. Each cambial ring is functionally divided into two distinct regions. The one segment of cambium produces thick-walled lignified xylem derivatives in centripetal direction and phloem elements centrifugally. The other segment produces only thin-walled parenchyma on both xylem and phloem side. In mature stems, some of the axial parenchyma embedded deep inside the xylem acquires meristematic activity and leads to the formation of thick-walled xylem derivatives centrifugally and phloem elements centripetally. The secondary xylem comprises vessel elements, tracheids, fibres and axial parenchyma. Rays are uni-multiseriate in the region of cambium that produces xylem and phloem derivatives, while in some of the regions of cambium large multiseriate, compound, aggregate and polycentric rays can be noticed.

Stem anatomy and development of inter- and intraxylary phloem in Leptadenia pyrotechnica (Forssk.) Decne. (Asclepiadaceae)

Modification of external morphology and internal structure of plants is a key feature of their successful survival in extreme habitats. They adapt to arid habitats not only by modifying their leaves, but also show several modifications in their conducting system. Therefore, the present study is aimed to investigate the pattern of secondary growth in Leptadenia pyrotechnica (Forssk.) Decne., (Asclepiadaceae), one such species growing in Kachchh district, an arid region of Gujarat State. A single ring of vascular cambium, responsible for radial growth, divided bidirectionally and formed the secondary xylem centripetally and the phloem centrifugally. After a short period of secondary xylem differentiation, small arcs of cambium began to form secondary phloem centripetally instead of secondary xylem. After a short duration of such secondary phloem formation, these segments of cambium resumed their normal function to produce secondary xylem internally. Thus, the phloem strands became embedded within the secondary xylem and formed interxylary phloem islands. Such a recurrent behavior of the vascular cambium resulted in the formation of several patches of interxylary phloem islands. In thick stems the earlier formed non-conducting interxylary phloem showed heavy accumulation of callose on the sieve plates followed by their crushing in response to the addition of new sieve elements. Development of intraxylary phloem is also observed from the cells situated on the pith margin. As secondary growth progresses further, small arcs of internal cambium get initiated between the protoxylem and intraxylary phloem. In the secondary xylem, some of the vessels are exceptionally thick-walled, which may be associated with dry habitats in order to protect the vessel from collapsing during the dryer part of the year. The inter- and intraxylary phloem may also be an adaptive feature to prevent the sieve elements to become non-conducting during summer when the temperature is much higher.     

DEVELOPMENTAL CHANGES IN THE VASCULAR CAMBIUM IN LEITNERIA FLORIDANA

Developmental changes in the vascular cambium of Leitneria floridana, a shrub, were determined primarily by an analysis of the secondary xylem. During the production of the first growth ring of secondary xylem, 37% of the anticlinal divisions in the fusiform initials were lateral, the remaining were oblique. The oblique partition averaged ½ of the length of the dividing initials during this period of growth. Following their origin in anticlinal division, daughter cells elongated at a rapid rate until they were about as long as the mean for all cells, and then most cells elongated at a slow rate. Almost all initials survived during the formation of the inner secondary xylem (growth rings 1–10), and few new rays were formed from fusiform initials. During the production of the outer secondary xylem (growth rings 22–26), lateral divisions accounted for less than 5% of all anticlinal divisions. The oblique partition averaged only ¼ of the length of the dividing cells during this period, although the mean length of dividing initials was relatively constant throughout secondary growth. About 20% of the initials studied during the deposition of the outer secondary xylem disappeared from the cambium, and many others were transformed into ray initials. The findings are discussed in relation to the developmental changes in the vascular cambium in plants of different habits.     

Radial secondary growth and formation of successive cambia and their products in Ipomoea hederifolia L. (Convolvulaceae)

Ipomoea hederifolia stems increase in thickness using a combination of different types of cambial variant, such as the discontinuous concentric rings of cambia, the development of included phloem, the reverse orientation of discontinuous cambial segments, the internal phloem, the formation of secondary xylem and phloem from the internal cambium, and differentiation of cork in the pith. After primary growth, the first ring of cambium arises between the external primary phloem and primary xylem, producing secondary phloem centrifugally and secondary xylem centripetally. The stem becomes lobed, flat, undulating, or irregular in shape as a result of the formation of both discontinuous and continuous concentric rings of cambia. As the formation of secondary xylem is greater in one region than in another, this results in the formation of a grooved stem. Successive cambia formed after the first ring are of two distinct functional types: (1) functionally normal successive cambia that divide to form secondary xylem centripetally and secondary phloem centrifugally, like other dicotyledons that show successive rings, and (2) abnormal cambia with reverse orientation. The former type of successive rings originates from the parenchyma cells located outside the phloem produced by previous cambium. The latter type of cambium develops from the conjunctive tissue located at the base of the secondary xylem formed by functionally normal cambia. This cambium is functionally inverted, producing secondary xylem centrifugally and secondary phloem centripetally. In later secondary growth, xylem parenchyma situated deep inside the secondary xylem undergoes de‐differentiation, and re‐differentiates into included phloem islands in secondary xylem. © 2008 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2008, 158 , 30–40.
