延龄草(Trillium tschonoskii Maxim.)的胚胎学研究初报Ⅰ.——大孢子的发生及雌配子体的形成

本文描述延龄草(Trillium tschonoskii Maxim.)的大孢子发生,雌配子体的形成和雄配子体的形态。胚珠为倒生型,双珠被,厚珠心型。胎座为侧膜胎座向中轴胎座的过渡类型,胶囊发育为葱型的变异型。孢原细胞直接发生于幼胚珠的珠心表皮细胞之下,孢原细胞平周分裂,形成初生周缘细胞及初生造孢细胞。初生周缘细胞分裂先于初生造孢细胞,分裂结果与珠心表皮细胞共同形成了珠心组织。初生造孢细胞进一步发育,形成大孢子母细胞。大孢子母细胞经减数第一次分裂后,即出现壁,形成二分体。一般是珠孔端二分体细胞小于合点端二分体细胞,但偶尔也见到前者大于后者的情况。在二分体形成后珠孔端二分体细胞立即退化、或经减数第二次分裂后再退化(该次分裂多为斜向的)。合点端二分体细胞发育,经二核胚囊,四核胚囊,六核胚囊阶段至成熟胚囊。一般在珠孔端的周围淀粉粒丰富,并先于合点端的核进行分裂。珠孔端由二个助细胞,一个卵细胞构成卵器,助细胞具钩突,并具丝状器,两个极核。合点端常见多核仁的大核,成熟胚囊未见八核。成熟花粉粒为二细胞的,花药壁具变形绒毡层,花粉中充满淀粉粒。沼生目型胚乳。     

八角枫大孢子发生和雌配子体发育

八角枫为顶生胎座、倒生胚珠、单珠被。孢原细胞处于珠心表皮之下,直接起大孢子母细胞的功能。珠心表皮细胞平周分裂产生多层珠心周缘细胞,为厚珠心。四分体线行排列,合点端的大孢子发育为蓼型胚囊。开花前,两极核事例成次生核,或不融合仍保留极核状态。反足细胞退化较晚,胚囊合点端具承珠盘。     

大叶杨配囊及胚珠的形成和发育

本文应用细胞化学方法研究了大叶杨胚珠、胚囊的形成和发育过程中核酸、蛋白质及不溶性多糖的分布和消长。大孢子母细胞、大孢子四分体及功能大孢子中含较少不溶性多糖,但却含丰富的RNA和蛋白质。功能大孢子经分裂发育成八核的蓼型胚囊。四核胚囊开始积累细胞质多糖,成熟胚囊中除反足细胞外充满淀粉粒。反足细胞形成后不久即退化。助细胞具多糖性质的丝状器,受精前两个助细胞退化。卵细胞核对Feulgen反应呈负反应。二极核受精前由胚囊中部移向卵器,与卵器接触后融合形成次生核。发育早期的胚珠为厚珠心,双珠被。晚期,内珠被退化,故成熟胚珠为单珠被。四核胚囊时期,珠孔端珠心组织退化,胚囊伸向珠孔形成胚囊喙。合点端珠心组织含丰富的蛋白质和核酸,这一性质与绒毡层性质相似,可能涉及胚囊的营养运输。胚囊的营养来源于子房和胎座细胞内贮存的淀粉粒。

Recent advances in the study of Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus replication and pathogenesis

It has now been over twenty years since a novel herpesviral genome was identified in Kaposi's sarcoma biopsies. Since then, the cumulative research effort by molecular biologists, virologists, clinicians, and epidemiologists alike has led to the extensive characterization of this tumor virus, Kaposi's sarcoma-associated herpesvirus(KSHV; also known as human herpesvirus 8(HHV-8)), and its associated diseases. Here we review the current knowledge of KSHV biology and pathogenesis, with a particular emphasis on new and exciting advances in the field of epigenetics. We also discuss the development and practicality of various cell culture and animal model systems to study KSHV replication and pathogenesis.     

The structure, reproduction and taxonomy of Vidalia and Osmundaria (Rhodophyta, Rhodomelaceae)

Comprises species occurring mostly in subtidal habitats in tropical, subtropical and warm-temperate areas of the world. An analysis of the type species, V. spiralis (Sonder) Lamouroux ex J. Agardh, a species from Australia, establishes basic characters for distinguishing species in the genus. These characters are (1) branching patterns of thalli, (2) flat blades that may be spiralled on their axis, (3) width of the blade, (4) primary or secondary derivation of sterile and fertile branchlets and (5) position of sterile and fertile branchlets on the thalli. Application of the latter two characters provides an important basic method for separation of species into three major groups. Osmundaria , a genus known only in southern Australia, was studied in relation to Vidalia , and its separation from the Vidalia assemblage is not accepted. Species of Vidalia therefore are transferred to the older genus name, Osmundaria. Two new species, Osmundaria papenfussii and Osmundaria oliveae are described from Natal. Confusion in the usage of the epithet, Vidalia fimbriala Brown ex Turner has been clarified, and Vidalia gregaria Falkenberg, described as an epiphyte on Osmundaria pro/ifera Lamouroux, is revealed to be young branches of the host, Osmundaria prolifera.     

New or rare chromosome counts in Artemisia L. (Asteraceae, Anthemideae) and related genera from Kazakhstan

Fifteen chromosome counts of six Artemisia taxa and one species of each of the genera Brachanthemum, Hippolytia, Kaschgaria, Lepidolopsis and Turaniphytum are reported from Kazakhstan. Three of them are new reports, two are not consistent with previous counts and the remainder are confirmations of very scarce (one to four) earlier records. All the populations studied have the same basic chromosome number, x = 9, with ploidy levels ranging from 2x to 6x. Some correlations between ploidy level, morphological characters and distribution are noted.

Selection with two alleles and complete dominance

For a plant selection model with frequency-independent viabilities, fertilities and selfing rates, it is shown that apart from global fixation, for certain parameter combinations a protected polymorphism and facultative fixation (either allele may become fixed according to initial frequencies) may both occur. Facultative fixation requires different selling rates for the dominant and recessive type. Protection of the polymorphism requires resource allocation for male and female function. In this connection the problem of purely genetically caused population extinction is discussed.
For general frequency dependence and regular segregation, the chances for establishment of a completely recessive gene are compared to those of a completely dominant gene. It is proven that the process of establishment of the recessive gene, despite a fitness advantage, may be considerably endangered by drift effects if random mating prevails. The recessive gene may reach the same effectivity in establishment as a dominant gene, only if the recessive homozygote mates exclusively with its own type during the period of establishment.
