对翼蓼(蓼科)属级位置的重新探讨

通过对翼蓼Pteroxygonum giraldii Damm. &; Diels及相关属(蓼属Polygonum、何首乌属Fallopia、虎杖属Reynoutria、荞麦属Fagopyrum和金线草属Antenoron)的形态观察、果实解剖学观察、花被片脉序观察、花粉形态、核型分析, 以及ITS序列的分析确定了翼蓼和荞麦F. esculentum Moench较远的亲缘关系。其中我们发现翼蓼果实基部有三个角状物明显不同于其他属果实的形态特征。翼蓼外果皮明显加厚, 并有零星散布的波状内腔, 而荞麦的外果皮很薄, 细胞不等径, 中果皮极厚。以上证据证明了翼蓼与荞麦属亲缘关系较远。在观察荞麦属和翼蓼的花被片脉络时发现了两种不同的脉序类型, 符合将荞麦属分为两个组的划分。翼蓼花被片脉序为三出状, 支持将翼蓼归为Persicarieae族。对翼蓼及荞麦属植物的花粉进行比较后, 发现荞麦属植物的花粉网孔有明显的内凹穿孔而翼蓼却没有, 结果表明二者亲缘关系较远。通过对nrDNA ITS区域序列分析得出翼蓼及相关属为一个单系类群, 含有两个稳定的分支: 第一个分支由蓼属(萹蓄组sect. Avicularia)、何首乌属、虎杖属的植物组成, 第二个分支由蓼属(刺蓼组sect. Echinocaulon、蓼组sect. Polygonum、分叉蓼组sect. Aconogonon、拳参组sect. Bistorta、翼蓼和荞麦属植物组成。同时第二个分支又分成了两个亚分支, 蓼属(刺蓼组、蓼组、分叉蓼组、拳参组)和翼蓼属Pteroxygonum植物属于第一个亚支而荞麦属植物属于第二个亚支。结果支持翼蓼不属于荞麦属的范畴。实验结果显示翼蓼是个单型属, 属于Persicarieae族。     

中国荞麦属花粉形态及花被片和果实微形态特征的研究

研究了中国荞麦属Fagopyrum　Mill.的花粉形态、花被片和果实微形态特征。根据沟膜的有无,花粉可以明显地区分为具沟膜者和不具沟膜者2类。透射电镜下显示,荞麦F. esculentum Moench的花粉外壁分化成两个明显的层次,即外壁外层和外壁内层。其外壁外层由覆盖层及柱状层组成,无基层。对花被片腹面的扫描电镜观察表明,根据细胞形状和表面纹饰,这些种类的花被片可分为3类。对果实表面的扫描电镜观察表明,这些种类的果实纹饰也可分为3类。根据上述结果,讨论了荞麦属的种间关系及花粉形态、花被片和果实一些微观性状的演化趋势。荞麦属的花粉形态极为一致,其外壁纹饰均为细网状,萌发孔为三孔沟,这支持将荞麦属从蓼属中分出独立成属的观点。本文还根据花粉形态特征及花被片和果实微形态特征讨论了国产荞麦属的种间关系,探讨了一些特征的演化趋势。     

中国冰岛蓼属植物花粉形态的研究

采用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对国产冰岛蓼属Koenigia L. 9种植物的花粉形态进行了观察。结果表明：花粉均为球形;直径为17.0-32.5 μm（包括刺长）;萌发孔有7(-8)赤道环沟、散沟、散孔;外壁纹饰均为刺状。根据萌发孔类型和外壁纹饰,将该属花粉划分为3种类型,即细冰岛蓼型（Delicatulum-type）、大连线冰岛蓼型（Forrestii-type）及冰岛蓼型（Koenigia-type）。细冰岛蓼型花粉的主要特征是具7(-8)赤道环沟,覆盖层无穿孔,外壁纹饰为显著的长刺状,此种类型的植物有细冰岛蓼K. delicatula （Meisn.） Hara。大连线冰岛蓼型花粉的主要特征是具12散沟,覆盖层无穿孔,外壁纹饰为显著的长刺状,此种类型的植物有大连线冰岛蓼K. forrestii (Diels) Měsíek & Soják 及连线冰岛蓼K. nummularifolia (Meisn.) Měsíek & Soják。冰岛蓼型花粉的主要特征是具15,20(-30)散孔,覆盖层无穿孔,外壁纹饰为显著的长刺状,此种类型的植物有冰岛蓼K. islandica L.、蓝蕊冰岛蓼K. cyanandra (Diels) Měsíek & Soják、线茎冰岛蓼K. nepalensis D. Don、柔毛蓼K. pilosa Maxim.、陕甘蓼K. hubertii (Lingelsh.) Měsíek & Soják及青藏蓼K. fertilis Maxim.。结果表明冰岛蓼属的花粉形态具有重要的分类学意义,研究结果支持Koenigia的属的地位,大铜钱叶蓼Polygonum forrestii Diels和铜钱叶蓼P. nummularifolium Meisn.应从蓼属分叉蓼组Polygonum L. sect. Aconogonon Meisn.中移入冰岛蓼属中,细冰岛蓼、蓝蕊冰岛蓼、青藏蓼、陕甘蓼、线茎冰岛蓼和柔毛蓼应从蓼属头状蓼组Polygonum L. sect. Cephalophilon Meisn.中移入冰岛蓼属中。     

中国拳参属(蓼科)植物叶脉序式样的研究

Pollen of African Spermacoce species (Rubiaceae) Morphology and evolutionary aspects

Pollen morphology of 43 African species of the genus Spermacoce has been investigated by scanning electron and light microscopy. The genus is eurypalynous, which is reflected in the remarkable variation of almost all pollen characters. The average equatorial diameter (E) ranges from 15.8 w m to 115.5 w m. Grains are colporate or pororate. The number of apertures varies from 3 up to more than 25. The majority of species has apertures situated only at the equator (being zonoaperturate), but a few species have pantoaperturate grains. The endoaperture is generally an endocingulum, often with a secondary lolongate or lalongate thinning at the ectocolpus; endocolpi and endopores are also observed. The sexine is usually perforate, but eutectate, foveolate, and (micro)reticulate tecta were also found. Supratectal elements are present as granules, microspines or spines. The inner nexine surface is granular, often with irregular grooves (endocracks). Among native African species, nine pollen types are recognized mainly on the basis of pollen size, aperture morphology and tectum peculiarities. In two of the pantoaperturate types, apertures are in a configuration not yet recorded for the angiosperms in general. Some evolutionary trends are proposed that await verification by further systematic study. Pollen morphological characters have a high taxonomic value in the genus Spermacoce . They provide almost unique identification marks for the species, which enables sharpening of species boundaries. Small groups of related species often share the same pollen type. The genus Borreria , previously separated from Spermacoce on the basis of its fruit morphology only, is not supported by pollen data.     

Two new species from Gabon show the need to reduce Commitheca to the synonymy of Pauridiantha (Rubiaceae, Pauridiantheae)

Two new Pauridiantha species (Pauridiantheae, Rubiaceae) from Gabon are described and illustrated. Pauridiantha pleiantha is characterized by a combination of entirely glabrous stems, stipules with a narrow base, and large inflorescences. Pauridiantha smetsiana is characterized by entirely glabrous stems, narrow, early deciduous stipules, leaves red-tinged when dry, and small inflorescences. The two new species, especially P. smetsiana , close the morphological gap between Commitheca and Pauridiantha in combining typical Commitheca characters, such as glabrous stems and a narrow stipular base, with Pauridiantha characters, such as eucamptodromous venation. A detailed morphological comparison (including ovary structure, seed morphology, exotesta anatomy, and pollen morphology) between the two genera is given; in conclusion, Commitheca is relegated to the synonymy of Pauridiantha . The necessary new specific combinations are provided.  © 2003 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2003, 141 , 105–117.     

泽米科植物羽片脉序和解剖学及其系统学意义

研究了苏铁目泽米科Zamiaceae 2亚科的所有4族(Stevenson系统, 1992)共10种代表植物的羽片脉序及解剖学特征,结果显示泽米科羽片脉序为二歧分叉的平行脉,无中脉。小刺双子铁Dioon spinulosum、大头非洲铁Encephalartos friderici-guilielmii和摩尔大泽米Macrozamia moorei等的平行脉末端以不同的形式互相连接,而鳞木铁Lepidozamia peroffskyana、粗壮角果铁Ceratozamia mexicana var. robusta、竹叶角果铁C. hildae、佛州泽米Zamia　floridana、柔叶泽米Z. debilis、鳞秕泽米Z. furfuracea和短尖泽米Z. muricata等的平行脉末端不连接而直达叶缘,其中鳞木铁、粗壮角果铁和竹叶角果铁的脉达叶缘后逐渐消失。羽片的横切面结构通常由表皮、下皮厚壁细胞和叶肉组成,表皮层包括上、下表皮各一层,叶肉可能同时分化出近上表面的栅栏组织和近下表面的栅栏组织,或仅有近上表面的栅栏组织分化,或无栅栏组织分化而完全为海绵组织。然而,泽米科没有典型的海绵组织和传输组织分化。小刺双子铁、大头非洲铁、鳞叶木铁和摩尔大泽米的羽片具有粘液道而无工字厚壁组织,在小刺双子铁中粘液道与维管束对生,在另3种中则与维管束轮生;但粗壮角果铁、竹叶角果铁、佛州泽米、柔叶泽米、鳞秕泽米和短尖泽米的羽片则具有工字厚壁组织而没有粘液道,其中粗壮角果铁和竹叶角果铁的羽片工字厚壁组织仅与上表皮相连,而佛州泽米、柔叶泽米、鳞秕泽米和短尖泽米的羽片工字厚壁组织与上、下表皮都相连。羽片脉序和解剖学特征支持Stevenson将泽米铁科分为两亚科的观点。     

基于核糖体DNA内转录间隔区ITS序列的广义蓼属及近缘属分子系统学研究

通过对广义蓼属及近缘属共32个代表种内转录间隔区ITS序列的分子系统学分析,尝试研究备受争议的广义蓼属及近缘属的物种族、属、组级的划分问题,结果显示,广义蓼属在系统发育树上并不能形成一个单系类群,这些物种共聚为3大支,分别对应春蓼族、蓼族及荞麦族,其中荞麦属与翅果蓼属形成了一支独立于春蓼族及蓼族之外的类群。在春蓼族中,冰岛蓼属与分叉蓼组形成一个单系类群。     

托叶铁科(苏铁目)羽片脉序和羽片解剖学研究

详细研究了托叶铁科两属的2种代表植物Stangeria eriopus和Bowenia serrulata的羽片脉序和羽片解剖学,两个属在气孔器特征与不具副传输组织方面极为相似。而在气孔的分布,羽片脉序式样与叶缘形态,粘液道的有无,海绵组织与栅栏组织的分化。工字厚壁组织与表皮细胞垂周壁特征方面则有较大的差异。将这些特征与苏铁科和泽米铁科作了比较,并讨论了这些特征在系统学上的意义。研究结果支持Stevenson(1992)将该科分为两亚科以及托叶铁科是介入苏铁科与泽米铁科之间的观点。     

壳斗科雌花不同发育时期比较胚胎学特征初探

壳斗科是北半球暖温带森林的优势树种之一,具有重要的生态功能和经济开发价值。该研究根据文献资料和野外考察及标本观察,对壳斗科雌花不同发育时期的重要性状进行整理和对比分析,并在系统发育框架下对雌花重要性状的演化趋势进行分析,探讨了上述性状在系统发育树上的演化趋势。选取壳斗科6个属13种雌花发育的5个性状,利用Mesquite在依据OhManos基于核基因CRC和ITS构建的系统发育树上,将性状进行编码和赋值,其中合子形成滞后时间按照数量性状进行分析,其余性状按照质量性状进行分析,并用最大简约法重建雌花形态及受精特征的祖先性状。结果表明:壳斗科雌花的4个重要性状子房室无毛被、胚珠具明显珠柄、子房与花柱比值大和花粉在子房室内休眠是祖征;合子形成滞后时间的性状是平行演化特征。针对壳斗科胚囊成熟时珠心组织残余结构的解剖术语混乱的现象,建议以后统一采用\"珠心柱\"指示该结构。该研究结果揭示了壳斗科花及胚胎学性状的演化趋势,也为探讨这些性状演化提供基础资料。     

On a new subsection of Pandanus section Cauliflora (Pandanaceae) with paniculate staminate inflorescence structure,distinctive leaf anatomy and pollen morphology

A new subsection, Pandanus section Cauliflora subsection Paniculiflora, is described to contain P. halleorum, on the grounds of the paniculate structure of its staminate inflorescence, a feature not known elsewhere within the genus Pandanus. Both leaf anatomy and pollen morphology appear to support this taxonomic separation.     

The flora of the early Miocene Brandon Lignite, Vermont, USA. VIII. Caldesia (Alismataceae)

Caldesia, a genus of aquatic monocotyledons, is represented by four living species, which are widely distributed in the temperate and tropical Old World. The genus has an extensive Oligocene through Pleistocene fossil record in Eurasia. We survey the morphology of the extant and fossil fruits of the Alismataceae, and provide a detailed review of the morphology and anatomy of living and fossil Caldesia fruits. The latter exhibit substantial similarity, making the recognition of separate species on the basis of fruit morphology difficult. We erect the new species Caldesia brandoniana from the Early Miocene Brandon Lignite of Vermont primarily on the basis of its geographic isolation; careful revision of all fossil fruiting material of Caldesia might require placement of the Brandon specimens in a more inclusive form species. Together with leaves of Caldesia from the Miocene Clarkia flora of Idaho, this occurrence indicates that Caldesia was in the New World as recently as the Early Miocene.     

基于核糖体DNA内转录间隔区ITS序列的广义蓼属及近缘属分子系统学研究(英文)

通过对广义蓼属及近缘属共32个代表种内转录间隔区ITS序列的分子系统学分析,尝试研究备受争议的广义蓼属及近缘属的物种族、属、组级的划分问题,结果显示,广义蓼属在系统发育树上并不能形成一个单系类群,这些物种共聚为3大支,分别对应春蓼族、蓼族及荞麦族,其中荞麦属与翅果蓼属形成了一支独立于春蓼族及蓼族之外的类群。在春蓼族中,冰岛蓼属与分叉蓼组形成一个单系类群。     

中国蓼属植物花粉形态的研究

本文用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对国产44种2变种蓼属植物的花粉形态进行了观察。除了前人报道的31种外,其中15种为首次报道。本属花粉形态多类型,有球形、近球形、近扁球形、近长球形及长球形;从萌发孔来看,有三沟型、三孔沟型、散沟型及散孔形：外壁纹饰有颗粒-穿孔、微刺-穿孔、微刺-凹穴、细网状、皱块状及粗网状。根据这些特征将花粉划分为10种类型,其中西伯利亚蓼型(Sibir-icum-type)为本文首次提出。文中对本属的分类问题进行了探讨,不支持Steward(1930)将本属划分为8个组的意见,而认为应将本属划分为11个组。     

中国酸模属植物花粉形态研究

利用光学显微镜、扫描电镜对１５种,透射电镜对２种国产酸模属植物的花粉进行观察与研究。本属花粉为球形或近球形,大小为１５～４０×１８～４０μｍ。具３孔沟、４斜孔沟、散孔沟、散沟等;沟或外沟狭长,几达两极,内陷或不内陷,内孔圆形、稍横长或纵长;表面具皱波状纹饰;外壁厚１．０～３．５μｍ,外层明显厚于内层。在透射电镜下,花粉外壁分３层：覆盖层最厚,具穴状或穿孔,颗粒状或刺状纹饰,内面均匀;柱状层明显,厚,小柱为钝圆锥体或圆柱状,基层和内层不分,最薄,但在萌发孔处明显增厚。根据花粉形态,本属花粉可以分成７个组,它们是：小酸模组、滨海酸模组、酸模组、土大黄组、荒地酸模组、巴天酸模组和钝叶酸模组。对萌发孔分布规律的研究,基本支持Ｗｏｄｅｈｏｕｓｅ（１９３１）的观点,同时据花粉萌发孔演化的规律,认为本属花粉可能是蓼科花粉由少数萌发孔向多数萌发孔演化的过渡类型。
