北京麋鹿苑达乌里寒鸦迁徙和越冬期种群动态与集群行为的初步研究

2005年10月～2009年5月,在达乌里寒鸦(Corvus dauurica)迁徙和越冬期间,针对其在北京麇鹿苑内的种群数量变化,成体、幼体组成比例的变化,以及在麋鹿苑集群停歇的原因等问题,进行了调查分析.结果表明,达乌里寒鸦每年10月中旬前后开始到糜鹿苑聚集活动,次年5月份以后,集群现象消失.持续活动时间为(166±11)d,10月底或11月初种群数量达最大,2008年10月下旬,最大数量一度达(6 500±300)只,4个迁徙越冬期的最大种群数量存在极显著差异(X_((3))~ 2=8 484.47,P＜0.01＝.Krushkalwallis H检验表明,4个迁徙越冬季的种群数量之间差异不显著(X_((3))~2=6.14,P=0.11＞0.05).幼体的比例在秋季迁徙前期和春季迁徙后期相对较高,可达100%.观察表明,该鸟在麋鹿苑周边的垃圾场觅食后,选择在苑内饮水是其在麋鹿苑集群的主要原因.

垂穗披碱草与达乌里披碱草基因组细胞遗传学比较

采用顺序FISH-GISH技术,12个重复序列探针,包括9个三核苷酸简单重复序列、2个卫星DNA重复序列pSc119.2和pAs1以及5S rDNA,通过重复序列的物理定位对达乌里披碱草和垂穗披碱草基因组中部分重复序列的分布特征进行了比较分析,为进一步研究垂穗披碱草和达乌里披碱草的物种形成及演化提供新的分子细胞遗传学证据。结果表明:(1)所有的序列在这2个物种的染色体上都能产生可检测的杂交信号,且在2个物种中(AAC)_(10)、(ACT)_(10)、(CAT)_(10)都表现为共分布,(AAG)_(10)与(AGG)_(10)表现为近似共分布;2个物种的H基因组除5S rDNA序列外,其他序列都产生强烈且丰富的杂交位点,St与Y基因组不同重复序列探针的荧光位点数目有所差别,表现为5S rDNA、pSc119.2、(AAC)_(10)、(CAT)_(10)、(ACT)_(10)、(CAC)_(10)探针的信号位点较少或无信号,其余的探针信号位点稍多。(2)达乌里披碱草的第2对染色体上具有(AAC)_(10)、(CAT)_(10)、(ACT)_(10)的杂交位点、第6对染色体上具有(CAC)_(10)的杂交位点,而在垂穗披碱草的St基因组中未观察到上述序列杂交位点;达乌里披碱草St基因组仅有第4对染色体的端部具有pSc119.2杂交位点,而在垂穗披碱草St基因组中的pSc119.2杂交位点位于第5对染色体长臂的间隔区;相对于达乌里披碱草,垂穗披碱草St和Y基因组染色体含有更多的重复序列杂交位点。(3)达乌里披碱草的H/Y基因组间易位在不同材料间是稳定存在的,达乌里披碱草基因组相对稳定,不同材料间H基因组重复序列杂交信号多态性高于St和Y基因组;垂穗披碱草基因组的变异较大,不同材料间St和Y基因组重复序列杂交信号多态性高于H基因组。研究认为,垂穗披碱草和达乌里披碱草的H基因组均起源于布顿大麦,St基因组可能起源于不同的拟鹅观草属物种;与达乌里披碱草相比垂穗披碱草St与Y基因组可能具有更高的染色体结构变异性,而垂穗披碱草St与Y基因组变异较大的原因可能是与同区域分布的含StY基因组的物种发生了种间渗透杂交。     

少花柊叶传粉生物学的研究

竹芋科Marantaceae植物所具有的雄蕊先熟(protandry)、次级花粉展示(secondary pollen presentation)以及不可逆转的爆发性花柱运动(explosive style movement)等特点,造就了其独特的传粉机制.本文对竹芋科多年生草本植物少花格叶Phrynium oliganthum的花生物学特性、传粉操控实验和传粉者行为观察三个方面做了较为系统的研究,以掌握该植物基本的开花行为及繁殖特性.实验结果表明,少花格叶自交亲和,但不存在自动自交机制,其传粉过程依赖于传粉者.传粉者为每天沿固定路线访花、被称为有序觅食者(trapliner)的独居蜂类(无垫蜂Amegilla spp.).在传粉实验中,无论是人工授粉还是自然状态下坐果率都很低(<10%),这可能是由于资源限制以及严重的花序腐烂及虫食.少花柊叶每天开花数约11朵,但并不同步,而是在4h内逐次开放,这种开花格局连同传粉者在一天之内会重复同一线路的拜访特点,有利于少花格叶在一定程度上减少同株异花授粉的发生,增加异交的机会.     

秦艽与小秦艽光合日变化的研究

运用光合作用测定系统,对野生秦艽(Gentiana macrophylla Pall．)和小秦艽(G．dahurica Fisch．)的开花期的光合特性进行研究。结果表明,2种秦艽的净光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度日变化曲线都呈双峰型,有明显的光合“午休”现象。小秦艽的光合速率、蒸腾速率、气孔导度照著高于秦艽,分别高出2．7 μmolCO2·m-2·s-1、1．5 mmol·m-2·s-1和140．7 mmol．m-2·s-1而叶温则低于秦艽2．8C。相关分析表明,开花期的温度、光照对2种秦艽的光合都有一定影响,蒸腾速率、气孔导度调节光合作用,而引起2种秦艽光合速率降低的主要因素为非气孔因素。     

中国鹅掌楸传粉生物学研究

对中国鹅掌楸（Ｌｉｒｉｏｄｅｎｄｒｏｎｃｈｉｎｅｎｓｅ）的不育现象已有了许多的研究。与自然传粉和杂交控制传粉相比,自花传粉常常导致较低的结实率。经过传粉以后,仅落在柱头上的花粉才有可能得到正常发育,并对植物的结实率产生影响。研究结果表明：中国鹅掌楸不同花期开放的各个花朵,所接收到的花粉量是不一致的,在中期开放的花朵接收花粉量较多。在多数情况下,花的下部位柱头接收了较多的花粉,中部位的柱头次之,而上部位接收的花粉较少。通过比较分析,认为有必要对落在柱头上的花粉来源和花粉纯度及这些指标与结实率之间的关系做进一步研究。     

塔落岩黄芪主要传粉蜂的传粉效率研究

塔落岩黄芪 (Hedysarum laeve)是毛乌素沙地重要豆科植物, 在我国西部生态系统恢复与重建中起着重要作用, 但其自交率非常低, 必须依靠传粉昆虫授粉才能结实。野生传粉蜂是其主要传粉者。为了明确塔落岩黄芪的主要传粉蜂组成及优势传粉蜂的传粉效率, 2004–2006年, 我们设置了4个2 m×2 m样方观测访花昆虫的组成并对主要传粉蜂的访花频率、花粉移出率和柱头花粉沉降数目及单花停留时间进行了观测。结果表明白脸条蜂(Anthophora albifronella)、海切叶蜂(Megachile maritima)和散熊蜂(Bombus sporsdicus)是塔落岩黄芪的主要传粉蜂, 其中白脸条蜂在数量和访花频率上占有明显优势, 但其花粉移出率比海切叶蜂和散熊蜂的低, 3种蜂的柱头花粉沉降数目没有显著区别。通过对这3种蜂的花粉移出率、柱头花粉沉降数目和访花频率综合分析后, 我们认为白脸条蜂是塔落岩黄芪最有效的传粉蜂。     

濒危植物翅果油树种群传粉生物学研究

对山西省南部平陆、乡宁和翼城3个翅果油树(Elaeagnus mollisDiels)种群分别进行了传粉生物学观察.结果表明:(1)翅果油树花期一般为8~12 d,单花花期3~4 d,结实率仅为0.42%;(2)访花者多属于膜翅目、鞘翅目、双翅目、鳞翅目昆虫,蜂类是有效的传粉者;(3)翅果油树依靠芳香气味、花蜜、花粉和适度紧缩的生殖枝吸引访花昆虫;(4)昆虫的访花活动主要集中在11:00~16:00,访花活动易受气象因素影响;(5)自然条件下,翅果油树平均每日每花被访问的频次为(1.93±1.64)次,人工放蜂可显著增加传粉强度;(6)交配系统属居群内的异花传粉,仍属于广义的自花传粉范畴.传粉昆虫少,传粉效率低是翅果油树致濒的重要因素之一.     

中国鹅掌楸传粉生物学研究

对中国鹅掌楸(Liriodendron chinense)的不育现象已有了许多的研究。与自然传粉和杂交控制传粉相比,自花传粉常常导致较低的结实率。经过传粉以后,仅落在柱头上的花粉才有可能得到正常发育,并对植物的结实率产生影响。研究结果表明：中国鹅掌楸不同花期开放的各个花朵,所接收到的花粉量是不—致的,在中期开放的花朵接收花粉量较多。在多数情况下,花的下部位柱头接收了较多的花粉,中部位的柱头次之,而上部位接收的花粉较少。通过比较分析,认为有必要对落在柱头上的花粉来源和花粉纯度及这些指标与结实率之间的关系做进一步研究。     

毛菍传粉生物学研究

为探讨毛菍(Melastoma sanguineum Sims.)传粉生物学特性,对海南霸王岭国家级自然保护区林缘、林内和林隙3个生境内毛菍的花期、花部形态、访花昆虫等进行观察,同时对其繁育系统相关指标进行了测定。结果表明：毛菍无花蜜分泌;花瓣对访花昆虫有吸引作用;访花昆虫主要有蜂类、食蚜蝇类和丽金龟类;主要传粉昆虫有木蜂、熊蜂,其中木蜂传粉活动最为活跃,为最有效传粉昆虫。毛菍具典型的异型雄蕊,长、短雄蕊在传粉过程中具有明确的功能分化,推测这是毛菍保证传粉成功的策略。毛菍为自交亲和的异交种,需要昆虫传粉;人工自交和异交均具有较高的坐果率;不存在无融合生殖、主动自花授粉和滞后自交的生殖保障现象;其繁育系统是兼性自交。昼夜温差较小和相对湿度较高的林内和林隙生境有利于延长群体花期;光照充足、温度相对较高的林缘生境,花朵发育较快,柱头可授性的时间稍早。花粉、传粉者和环境条件是制约毛菍野外传粉效率的主要因素。     

条纹龙胆的胚胎学研究

首次报道了条纹龙胆（Ｇｅｎｔｉａｎａ ｔｓｒｉａｔａ Ｍａｘｉｍ．）的胚胎学特征,研究结果用以讨论龙胆属狭蕊组（Ｇｅｎｔｉａｎａ Ｓｅｃｔ．Ｓｔｅｎｏｇｙｎｅ）的系统演化关系。主要研究结果如下：花药四室;药壁发育为双子叶型;绒毡层细胞仅来源于初生壁细胞,故绒毡层起源属单型起源,细胞单核,原位退化,属腺质型绒毡层,药隔处的绒毡层细胞经多次平周分裂形成２层至多层的绒毡层细胞,其余部位的绒毡层细胞仍为１     

管花秦艽的传粉生态学研究——兼与同域分布近缘种的比较

在青藏高原东北部连续两年观察了晚秋开花植物管花秦艽Gentiana siphonantha的传粉生态学特征,并在此基础上进一步比较分析了与该物种同域分布且亲缘关系较近、但开花较早的麻花艽G straminea之间的传粉生态学特征.管花秦艽的花发育过程表现出雌雄异熟和雌雄异位的特点,不存在花内的自花传粉,套袋隔离的花不结实也支持这一结论;株内自交的高结实率表明该物种是自交亲和的.盛花期每植株平均有15朵开放的花,雄性和雌性阶段的花比例为1.2:1;自然条件下产生种子必须依赖传粉媒介;苏氏熊蜂是最有效的传粉昆虫,且访花过程中埘雄性和雌性阶段花不具明显的偏向性;株内连续访花的频率高达87.8%,从而导致同株异花传粉自交的广泛存在.与同域分布的麻花艽相比,管花秦艽的单花花期、雄性和雌性期持续时间缩短.但盛花期开花数量明显增加.令人感兴趣的是尽管两个近缘种的花形态特征存在显著差异,但都是由同一种熊蜂传粉.这一特点与过去认为花颜色和花管长度是物种分化过程中与不同传粉昆虫协同进化导致牛殖隔离的假说不相符合.管花秦艽单花的访花频率和同株异花连续访花的比例都明显高于麻花艽.两个物种不同花序设计导致访花昆虫行为的改变可能是造成这一差异的主要原因.两个物种具有不同的开花时间,但仍然存在一定的花期重叠,表现出不完全的传粉生殖隔离状态.     

Pollination ecology of Gentiana siphonantha (Gentianaceae) and a further comparison with its sympatric congener species

In this study, we studied pollination ecology of Gentiana siphonantha (Gentianaceae), a late-autumn flowering alpine perennial in the northeastern Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau for two years for the first time. We also aimed to compare the pollination differentiation between this species and sympatrically distributed G. straminea that has a close phylogenetic origin but is flowering early. Flowers of G. siphonantha are characteristic of di-chogamy and herkogamy and this floral development prevents occurrence of autonomous self-pollination. This implication was confirmed by the breeding experiments, since no seed was produced when flowers were isolated. However, this gentian proved to be highly self-compatible when geitonogamous selfing was artificially induced. Each individual plant of this species has an average of 14.6 flowers ranging from 4 to 31, at both staminate and pistillate stages with a ratio of 1.2:1 in full anthesis. Both floral development and breeding experiments suggested that pollen vectors were indispensable for successful seed sets of this species. A great variety of insects were observed to visit this species, but the most common and only legitimate pollinator is Bumbus sushikini. A statistic observation suggested that this pollinator showed no preference to either staminate or pistillate flowers and visited them at random. We further calculated the frequency of their visits between and within individual plants. Among the pollinators’ bouts, the proportions of geitonogamous visits within an individual plant occupy about 87.8%. Such a case implied that geitonogamous selfing prevails in this species in spite of floral dichogamy and her-kogamy that were suggested to promote outcrossing. Compared with sympatric G. straminea, the total floral longevity and the male and female duration of this species are shorter. However, the number of flowers of each individual plant and branch increased when in full anthesis. It is interesting that both closely related species shared the same pollinator despite their distinct difference in flower morphology. This finding is inconsistent with the previous hypothesis that both flower color and corolla tube depth have coevolved with different pollinators during speciation and formation of reproductive isolation. Both visit frequencies of the individual flower and geitonoga-mous visits within the individual plant are higher in G. siphonantha than in G. straminea. This difference may result from their different inflorescence designs that actively act upon behaviors of pollinator. Although these two species differed in flowering phenology, their flowering stages overlapped for a few days, suggesting incomplete pollination isolation between them.     

Taxonomic importance of seed morphology in Gentiana (Gentianaceae)

The seeds of Gentiana show high diversity in size, shape and surface pattern. Until now, seeds of only a limited number of taxa have been studied in detail and their utility in the subgeneric classification of Gentiana has not been evaluated. In this study we investigated seed micromorphology of the poorly known sections Pneumonanthe, Frigidae and Isomeria. In order to evaluate the relevance of seed sculpturing for taxonomy, we selected qualitative characters of seed shape and testa ornamentation of all documented sections and performed cluster analyses based on presence and absence of coded characters. Several new scanning electron microscopy pictures of seeds provided a number of valuable characters for the subgeneric differentiation of Gentiana. The results of the cluster analyses of seed characters generally support the sectional classification given by former authors. However, the European Gentiana asclepiadea does not group together with other taxa of section Pneumonanthe, but clusters near to the strictly European section Gentiana. Gentiana froelichii, endemic to the south‐east Alps and treated traditionally within section Frigidae, clusters together with taxa of the European section Ciminalis. Our results reveal that seed micromorphology supports the reassignment of some taxa incertae sedis within Gentiana. © 2010 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2010, 162 , 101–115.     

青藏高原高山植物麻花艽的传粉生态学研究

对青藏高原东部麻花艽 (Gentiana straminea)海北居群的传粉生态学进行了 3a连续的观察和实验。试验表明自然去雄、人工自交和杂交处理均结实 ,而人工去雄套袋和自然套袋不结实。麻花艽自交亲合 ,但必须依赖传粉媒介才能完成授粉过程 ,不存在无融合生殖。野外捕捉到 14种访花昆虫 ,它们分别属于 2个纲 ,7个目 ,8个科。观察和分析了各种昆虫的访花行为后 ,认为苏氏熊蜂 (Bombus sushikini)是麻花艽有效而稳定的传粉者。测量表明麻花艽花蜜通道的深度和苏氏熊蜂的舌长基本吻合。苏氏熊蜂的访花频率在 10 :0 0～ 12 :0 0 ,13:0 0～ 15 :0 0和 16 :0 0～ 18:0 0时间段没有差别 ,单花的访花频率为 0 .0 0 5次 / (花· min)。和其它高山植物相比 ,青藏高原高山植物麻花艽的访花频率较高。熊蜂传粉和高频率的访花维持了麻花艽在极端寒旱的青藏高原环境下的有性生殖。此外 ,高频率的访花对于维持该地区高山植物的生殖保障具有重要的现实意义 ,但是否具有普遍性 ,还有待研究更多的高山代表类群。

Phenolic compounds from the whole plants of Gentiana rhodantha (Gentianaceae)

Gentiana rhodantha Franch. ex Hemsl. (Gentianaceae), an annual herb widely distributed in the southwest of China, has been medicinally used for the treatment of inflammation, cholecystitis, and tuberculosis by the local people of its growing areas. Chemical investigation on the whole plants led to the identification of eight new phenolic compounds, rhodanthenones A–D ( 1 – 4 , resp.), apigenin 7‐O‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→3)‐glucopyranosyl‐(1→3)‐glucopyranoside ( 5 ), 1,2‐dihydroxy‐4‐methoxybenzene 1‐O‐α‐L ‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1→6)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 6 ), 1,2‐dihydroxy‐4,6‐dimethoxybenzene 1‐O‐α‐L ‐rhamnopyranosyl‐(1→6)‐β‐D ‐glucopyranoside ( 7 ), and methyl 2‐O‐β‐D ‐glucopyranosyl‐2,4,6‐trihydroxybenzoate ( 8 ), together with eleven known compounds, 9 – 19 . Their structures were determined on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses and chemical methods. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibition and cytotoxicity tests against five human cancer cell lines showed that only rhodanthenone D ( 4 ) and mangiferin ( 12 ) exhibited 18.4 and 13.4% of AChE inhibitory effects at a concentration of 10⁻⁴ M , respectively, while compounds 1 – 5 and the known xanthones lancerin ( 11 ), mangiferin ( 12 ), and neomangiferin ( 13 ) displayed no cytotoxicity at a concentration of 40 μM .
