The Relation Between Growth of Gastrodia elata Protocorms and Fungi

Armillaria mellea penetrated protocorms from seed germination and vegetative multiplication corms of Gastrodia elata with rhizomorph. At beginning, they formed a hypha passing road and a hypha flow in the inner cells of cortex, and then, they both penetrated inside of large cells and penetrated outside of cortical cells. Gastrodia elata seeds depended on digesting Mycenct osmundicola etc gain nutrition to germinate at the stage of sexual reproduction, but its corms of vegetative multiplication must be penetrated by Armillaria mellea obtaining nutrition for normal growth at the stage of vegetative propagation.     

The Biological Relationship of Gastrodia elata and Armillaria Melle

We have done a series of experiments on the biological relationship of G. elata and Armillaria mellea (Vahl ex Fr.) Quel on the basis of popular experience. The results obtained are as follows: 1. The whole ontogenetic pattern of G. elata may be generally divided into four stages: seedling formation, tuber formation, flowering and fruiting. Except for the flowering and fruiting stage, the activity of Amella determines the formation of G. clara seedlings, the renewal of its vegetative organs, and transformation of vegetative growth to reproductive growth. The germination of tile dormant buds and their development are also decided by the sites and the influence of infection of A mellea . In some cases, when the mixed bud of G. elara was injured, it could also form several tubers with the infection of A. mellea . 2. The infecting process of A. mellea on G. elata has been studied in detail. Some of our observations are not well fitted with Kusano's experimental results. We find that there are two modes of infection of A. mellea on G. clara: physiological infection and pathological infection. Under normal environmental conditions, A. mellea infects the tissues of cortical layer only, and may also lead to the enlargment and malformation of nuclei. On the other hand; the digestive cells possess both the functions of defense and infecting hyphae. The pathological infection often exists under unfavorable conditions. 3. The tuber of G. data is not the only organ to assimilate the A. mellea, the vegetative stem also has a function of assimilation. 4. The growihg tuber would not become an assimilating organ until winter was over.     

天麻消化紫萁小菇及蜜环菌过程中细胞超微结构变化的研究

本文对天麻种子消化入侵的紫萁小菇菌丝及营养繁殖茎消化蜜环菌过程中,细胞超微结构的变化进行了研究。观察结果表明:紫萁小菇侵入种胚后,染菌胚细胞的细胞器逐渐消失,其细胞质产生囊状体起消化菌丝的作用,存在于胚细胞中的紫萁小菇菌丝有脱壁或失去细胞质成为空腔等变化;种子萌发形成的原球茎消化紫萁小菇的方式同胚萌发阶段类同。蜜环菌侵入原球茎分化的营养繁殖茎后,皮层细胞产生消化酶类颗粒或囊状体包围并分解蜜环菌菌丝;被皮层细胞消化的菌丝残物或部分菌丝进入皮层内面的大型细胞,此时大型细胞的代谢功能显著增强,该细胞中的各种水解酶颗粒及液泡等完成对菌体物质的最终同化。紫萁小菇及蜜环菌先后在天麻有性繁殖和无性繁殖阶段侵染供给其营养,但菌丝被消化过程中的细胞形态变化、被消化方式不完全一致。     

天麻种子／原球茎和营养繁殖茎被菌根真菌定殖后的细胞分化

天麻（Gastrodia elata Bl.)种子可与紫萁小菇（Mycena osmundicola Lange),兰小菇（M.orchidicola Fan et Guo)等一类小菇属真菌共生萌发形成原球茎。侵入种皮的菌丝集结在柄状细胞外周的胚柄残迹中,首先侵入胚的柄状细胞,然后自柄状细胞侵入其他原胚细胞。原胚细胞发生功能分化,形成菌丝结细胞和消化细胞,初被菌丝定殖的原胚细胞具有消化菌丝的功能,随后,部分原胚细胞逐渐被菌丝充满,充育成菌丝结细胞。菌丝由菌丝结细胞进一步侵入消化细胞后最终被消化。由原球茎分化形成的营养繁殖茎（以下简称营繁茎）进一步被蜜环菌（Armilariella mellea(Vahl.Fr.)Karst.)定植,蜜环菌与紫箕小菇的菌丝同时存在于营繁茎中,但两菌相遇时都停止蔓延,互不交错侵染。     

Cytodifferentiation of the Seeds (Protocorms) and Vegetative Propagation Corms Colonized by Mycorrhizal Fungi

The stipecell, subepidermal parenchyma cells and inner cortical parenchyma cells were differentiated from Gastrodia elata Bl. seed and protocorm cells when they were colonized by the fungal hyphae of Mycena osmundicola Lange and M. orchidicola Fan et Guo. The hyphae aggregated in the suspensor remnant surrounding stipecell, primarily penetrated the stipecell, and then colonized the embryo of seed. Stipecell is the unique invading site of the hyphae. Subepidermal parenchyma cells containing pelotons of hyphae is also a kind of passage cells of hyphae, but, when primarily colonized by hyphae, they can degenerate a little of hyphae. The hyphae colonizing inner cortical parenchyma cells were totally degenerated, and the function of inner ocrtical parenchyma cells is digestive. The vegetative propagation corms, which differentiated from protocorms, were recolonized by Armilariella mellea (Vahl:Fr.) Karst., and the hyphae of A. mellea and M. osmundicola were found in the same cell, but there is a layer of cells uncolonized by mycorrhizal fungal hyphae. This means the two fungal species can not crisscross colonize the cell of G. elata.     

蜜环菌和天麻共生营养关系的放射性自显影研究

本文利用3H-葡萄糖以打孔浇灌法标记天麻。用标记的天麻伴栽蜜环菌,追踪标记化合物是否存在蜜环菌中。显微放射自显影的结果表明：天麻自身能吸收标记物,同化的标记物其长距离运输靠天麻的纵向维管组织进行。天麻表皮外的蜜环菌菌索的光镜、电镜自显影显示,蜜环菌能从天麻中获取营养,蜜环菌和天麻之间存在营养物质的相互交流,菌麻之间存在着特殊的共生关系。     

Study of Factors for Cultivating the Orchid Species Gastrodia elata,a Traditional Chinese Medicine

The orchid speices Gastrodia elata is a valuable traditional Chinese medicine and has been widely applied for treating a variety of diseases. The yield of wild Gelata is very limited since its vegetative growth is exclusively dependent on its symbiosis with the fungus Armillaria mellea, from which Gelata is able to obtain nutrients from rotten wood in the forest. To develop a standard for cultivating Gelata in large quantities, four factors that may influence the yield of Gelata need to be further investigated, including cultivation environment, inoculation volume of Armillaria, wood from different tree species, and the effect of fertilizer on the maturation of Gelata. To optimize these factors, a large scale orthogonal experiment was performed in the farmland of Xiaocaoba, Zhaotong, Yunnan Province. Among the four factors tested, inoculation of Armillaria played the most important role in the maturation of Gelata. The yield of mature tubers, in terms of both tuber weight and quantity, on open ground is greater than that in forested areas. Of the 12 tree species tested, Dipentodon sinicus stimulated the largest amount of growth of Armillaria and produced the greatest yield of Gelata in the farmland. In comparison to the other factors tested, fertilizer showed no effect on the yield of G-elata.     

天麻中抗真菌蛋白质的诱导和积累

前曾报告从天麻（Ｇａｔｒｏｄｉａ ｅｌａｔａ Ｂｌ）中分离出一种对木霉丝生长有强抑制作用的蛋白质,命名为天麻抗真菌蛋白,简称ＧＡＦＰ,也称为Ｇａｓｔｒｏｄｉａｎｉｎ。对不同天麻材料来源的ＧＡＦＰ分析表明：ＧＡＦＰ的相对分量为１４ｋＤ,等电点可能不同,变动范围８．１－９．３。体外抑菌试验证明ＧＡＦＰ对腐生性真菌如木霉如木霉和密环菌等有强抑制活性,半抑制浓度ＩＣ０．５为０．０８ｍｇ／ｍＬ;对寄生免疫荧     

Studies on the Character istic of the Structures in the Cortical Cells of Gastrodia clara after Infection of Armillaria mellea

Aided by the techniques of thin and ultrathin sectioning and electron microscopy, the characteristic of structures in the cortical cells of Gastrodia elata was further investigated after infection of Armillaria mellea. It was found that the “hyphal coils”, observed with light microscope, in the cortical cells of G. elata were saccate structures deriv- ed from the cytoplasm of cortical cells and enclosed hyphae. And the cell walls of hyphae were digested in these sacs. Then, these hyphae without cell wall were cut into protoplast fragments in inner-most cortical cells. The results indicated that the cortical cells of G. elata possess digestive function.     

人工种植天麻的影响因子优化研究

天麻是一种名贵的中草药,可用于治疗多种疾病。自然条件下,天麻通过与真菌蜜环菌的共生从腐木获取营养进行生长。为了对人工大规模种植天麻的影响因子进行优化研究,利用正交设计方法,在昭通小草坝地区开展了一个样本量较大的种植实验。在测试的4种因子中,接种蜜环菌对种植天麻影响最大：其次,在露天灌木丛地种植的天麻产量明显高于在林地下的种植。此外,开展了12个树种对蜜环菌生长以及天麻种植的影响研究。结果发现十齿花（Dipentodonsinicus）对蜜环菌的生长最好,同时,也在天麻种植实验中有最高的产量;然而,添加磷、钾元素并不提高天麻的产量。     

天麻生长过程中可溶性蛋白和多糖的累积规律

以不同来源的蜜环菌 [(Armillariamellea(Vahl.exFr.)Qu啨ｌ.) ]4个菌株分别伴栽红天麻 (GastrodiaelataBl.f.elata)、乌天麻 (GastrodiaelataBl.f.glaucaS .Chow)以及红乌杂交天麻 ,对天麻生长发育过程中可溶性蛋白和多糖含量的变化规律进行了初步研究。结果表明 ,随着天麻的生长 ,菌株M1 、M2 、M3和M4 伴栽的红天麻、乌天麻以及红乌杂交天麻中 ,其可溶性蛋白含量均在逐步增加 ;在同一生长期内 ,4个菌株伴栽的红乌杂交天麻中可溶性蛋白含量大于红天麻和乌天麻。由菌株M1 、M2 、M3和M4 伴栽的红天麻、乌天麻以及红乌杂交天麻 ,其多糖含量呈现先升高后下降的趋势 ;在同一生长期中 ,4个菌株伴栽的红天麻的多糖含量大于乌天麻和红乌杂交天麻。     

天麻球茎不同部位的细胞对蜜环菌侵染的反应

用电镜技术比较研究了天麻球茎皮层细胞和中柱细胞对蜜环菌侵染的反应,皮层细胞在蜜环菌菌丝的刺渺下能产生囊状结构,然后这些小囊将入侵的菌丝包围和消化,而中柱细胞则不能,上述两种细胞在功能上的主要差别就在于此。

猪苓、伴生菌及蜜环菌共培养的形态学研究

本文对猪苓、伴生菌及蜜环菌两两共培养及三者共培养进行了宏观形态观察及细胞学水平上的研究。结果表明,猪苓与伴生菌共培养时,在二者之间形成一致密拮抗线,猪苓菌落表面菌丝分化产生大量菌丝束;猪苓与蜜环菌共培养时,猪苓能阻止蜜环菌菌索对其自身的进一步侵袭,互作区中的双方菌丝及菌索均停止生长;蜜环菌与伴生菌共培养时,蜜环菌能穿透整个伴生菌菌落,在伴生菌菌落下方产生大量分枝;三者共培养后,猪苓对蜜环菌的防御能力有所下降,伴生菌对蜜环菌的耐受力有所提高,蜜环菌产生的新分枝均向伴生菌一侧生长,猪苓与伴生菌之间并不形成致密拮抗线,只可见双方菌丝的白色交融区。 猪苓与伴生菌均能在蜜环菌菌索皮层上形成侵入位点。     

不同蜜环菌菌株对乌天麻产量的影响

用不同的蜜环菌(Amillaria mellea)菌株与长白山乌天麻(Gastrodia elata)进行伴栽试验,以探索不同蜜环菌菌株对乌天麻产量的影响。结果表明:不同蜜环菌菌株对乌天麻产量的影响不同,其中菌株Ar-4能显著提高天麻产量,仿野生栽培和室外箱栽试验均表现出良好的伴栽效果。     

猪苓与蜜环菌的关系

蜜环菌Armilla riella mcllea(Vahl：Ff．)Kgtst·侵入猪苓Gri[ola umbe』zd‘4(PetsFr．)PilOt)菌核,激活了猪苓菌抵御异体侵染免疫反应的本能,猪苓菌丝细胞木质化,形成与菌核表皮结构相似的隔离腔,将蜜环菌素和部分猪苓菌丝包围。在隔离腔中蜜环菌消化分隔在腔中的猪苓菌丝,另外猪苓菌丝也可侵入或附着在蜜环菌索及侵染带细胞间隙吸收其代谢产物,猪苓菌核即可萌发出新苓正常生长。当隔离腔中的猪苓菌丝被消化后,蛮环菌生活力也减弱,解体后被猪苓菌吸收利用,隔离腔变成空腔。从广义角度看,仍可把蜜环菌与猪苓菌寄生与反寄生的营养关系概括为共生关系。     

Studies on the Morphological Changes of Intracellular Structures of Gastrodia elara Bl.in the Period of Hyphae Digested

A primary study on the process of Hyphae Digested of Gastrodia elata BI. has been made through cytological and idstoebemieal methods. 1. When the cortical ceils of Gastrodia elata corm had been infected by Armillaria mellea Fr., its vacuole disrupts and disappears in the protoplast, so that the hyphae were changed in nature and then hydrolyzed; The cells themselves too, were bydroiyzed at the same times. In our inference, this period of hydrolysis happens because of the function that the vacuole release the hydrolases. Thus, the cells and fungal hyphae have been changed in their form and histoehemisty. 2. During the changes of cortical cells of corm, the outer-most part of the columella parenchyma cells also changs greatly, such as the appearing of renewable nuclei, the changes of the form and the structures of nucleoli, the disappearing of polysaccharide particles, the increasing of the content of RNA, the increasing of mitochondrias in large quantity etc. All these changes show the active process of synthesis in the large cells.     

Study on Ultrastructure and Localization of Acid Phosphatase of Gastrodia elata Cortical Cells in Their Digestive Process of Armillaria mellea

In order to study the mechanism of the digestive process of Armillaria mellea in Castrodia data, electron microscopy and cytochemical method for determination of acid phosphatase activity was employed. The provacuoles were formed by means of expanded or convoluted ER under the stimulation of cortical cells and large cells of Gastrodia data by Armillaria mellea. A product of acid phosphatase (lead phosphate deposits) occured on the tonoplast. The papillae were produced in the cell wall of cortex in Gastrodia data when Armillaria mellea penetrated into its cortex. Our results showed that the enzyme was not released from cell of Armillaria mellea. A number of small vacuoles in the cortical cells disappeared. At the same time, lead phosphate deposits on the Armillaria mellea hyphae wall were observed and than Armillaria mellea hyphae wall was going to be digested, and the hyphae lost their structure. The activity of Armillaria mellea hyphae was not observed in the large cell of Gastrodia data. A great deal of small vacuoles and mitochondria were produced, at the same time the renewable nuclei and nuclolar vacuoles etc. appeared in the large cells of Gastrodia data under the stimulation of Armillaria mellea.     

A STUDY 0N THE S0URCE OF SEC0NDARY NUTRIENTS F0R GASTRODIA ELATA BL.

Using isotopic labelling technique (with 32P. 15N. 86Rb), we demonstrated that Gastrodia elata Bl. might draw nutrients from the soil besides their main nutritional source Armillariella mellea (Vahl. ex Fr) Karst. Hence the soil may considered as its second nutritional source.The nutritional components in the soil(fertilizer)are able to enter Gartrodia elata directly or indirectly though the mediation of Armillariella mellea. They may influence the interrelationship between Gastrodia elata and Armillariella mellea, and the growth of the former. Therefore, the study of the influence of fertilization technique on the yield and quality of Gastrodia elata is of signifi- cance.
