Factors influencing bud break and rooting and mass-scale micropropagation of three Phragmites species: P. karka, P. communis and P. australis

A procedure has been described for the large-scale micropropagation of three Phragmites species, P. karka, P. communis and P. australis, from axillary buds excised from the main and side branches. Position of the buds on the branches had an effect on the bud break and establishment of the cultures under in vitro conditions. Lower buds of P. australis and middle buds of P. karka and P. communis were the most suitable. The presence of yeast extract as one of the ingredients of the sprouting medium helped in the early detection of systemic contamination. Multiple shoot formation and root initiation were obtained on Murashige and Skoog's basal medium supplemented with different concentrations of BA – 0.5 mg/l for P. karka, 0.25 mg/l for P. communis and 0.1 mg/l for P. australis– 0.5 mg/l Kn and 2% sucrose (w/v). Shoots and roots elongated on half-strength MS basal medium with 2% sucrose but without any plant growth regulators. A zone of root hair was observed in the case of P. australis. Hardening occurred on 95% of the plantlets within 30 days of transfer to the polyhouse. Over 10,000 plants were produced from three buds of each species within 9 months. The plants were supplied to a private company for their industrial waste treatment. Received: 1 June 1998 / Revision received: 28 August 1998 / Accepted: 10 October 1998     

中国耳蕨属高山耳蕨组的分类学研究

高山耳蕨组的成员是中国西部、印度北部和喜马拉雅山区常见的蕨类。其成员为夏绿植物,叶片 薄而柔弱。秋季叶片枯萎后叶柄基部宿存在地面形成一个丛堆以保护幼芽,这显然是对高山严峻环境 的适应。作为高山地带特有类型,1972年日本蕨类学家Sigeru Daigobo将它们作为耳蕨属下的一个组 ——高山耳蕨组Sect．Lasiopolystichum Daigobo,这是合理的。Daigobo建立此组时只包含3个种,经过 对中国大量标本及有关文献的研究,现知在中国约有30种应归人此组,其中有3新种:红鳞耳蕨P．ru- fopaleaceum,石生耳蕨P.saxicola,康定耳蕨P．kangdingense;2新变种．裂叶耳蕨P．sinense var．loba- tum,条裂耳蕨P．mollissimum Var．laciniatum;1新组合,钝裂耳蕨P．integrilobum(Sorolepidium)。据羽片背面的小鳞片类型可将高山耳蕨组划分为2个系:穆坪系Ser．Moupinensia和中华系Ser．Sinensia。

Pleurosigma hinzianum sp. nov. and P. frenguellianum sp. nov. (Pleurosigmataceae,Bacillariophyta) from Argentinean coastal waters,in comparison with P. amara Stidolph and P. elongatum W. Smith

Two new marine diatom species from Argentinean coastal waters, Pleurosigma hinzianum Sterrenburg, Sunesen & Sar, sp. nov. and P. frenguellianum Sunesen, Sterrenburg & Sar, sp. nov., are described. The characters permitting their identification are specified, based on comparison with type material of the morphologically similar species P. amara Stidolph and P. elongatum W. Smith in the light (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). New information on the type material of P. elongatum is presented and its taxonomic concept is emended. The main criteria for separation of the species discussed here are: valve outline, path of the raphe-sternum, raphe angle and angle of intersection of the oblique striae in LM; and external central and terminal raphe fissures, internal details of the central area, external and internal apical structure, and morphology of the hymen-occluded internal pores in SEM. The occurrence of these (and probably other) species in the genus Pleurosigma in net samples is adventitious and not indicative of a true planktonic mode of life.     

TAXONOMIC STUDIES ON PHYSARUM FROM CHINA I. THREE NEW SPECIES FROM NORTHEASTERN CHINA

在近年来对中国绒泡菌属粘菌的分类学研究中,观察到许多不寻常和有趣的标本,其中一些与目前已知的绒泡菌均不吻合,形态学研究表明它们是新种。本文报告了３个产自我国东北的绒泡菌属新种,它们是：产自吉林省的环柄绒泡菌Ｐｈｙｓａｒｕｍａｎｎｕｌｉｐｅｓ和青灰绒泡菌Ｐｈｙｓａｒｕｍｃａｅｓｉｕｍ及产自内蒙古自治区的木生绒泡菌Ｐｈｙｓａｒｕｍｘｙｌｏｐｈｉｌｕｍ。环柄绒泡菌的孢囊柄具有环带,较为特殊;青灰绒泡菌的囊被有一粉状物质层,但其中的钙含量远低于其它大多数绒泡菌;木生绒泡菌的球形白色的孢囊有柄、群生、直立,具纵皱的柄褐色而不透明,囊基盘状,石灰结较小、多角形或伸长,孢子匀生小疣但一侧色浅。文中对它们进行了形态学描述和讨论,并附有扫描电镜下的特征照片,模式标本保存在中国科学院微生物研究所真菌标本室（ＨＭＡＳ）。     

Morphology and infraciliature of a new marine ciliate Euplotidium smalli n. sp. with description of a new genus,Paraeuplotidium n. g. (Ciliophora,Euplotida)

The morphology and infraciliature of a new hypotrichous ciliate, Euplotidium smalli n. sp., isolated from eutrophic coastal water in Korea, were observed in living cells and investigated using the protargol impregnation technique. This new ciliate bears 13-14 frontoventral cirri, 7 transverse cirri, and 5-6 dorsal kineties. Neither left marginal cirrus nor caudal cirrus is present. The new species differs from the related species, Euplotidium agitatum Noland, 1937 in the different number of frontoventral and transverse cirri and different body shape. With the exception of Euplotidium agitatum, the known species of the genus Euplotidium Noland, 1937 with the presence of left marginal cirrus are assigned to a new genus, Paraeuplotidium n. g. Diagnosis of Paraeuplotidium is: Gastrocirrhidae with funnel-shaped buccal cavity; with frontoventral and transverse cirri; left marginal cirrus present. Paraeuplotidium itoi (Ito, 1958) n. comb. is designated here the type species. Four additional species are included: Paraeuplotidium psammophilus (Vacelet, 1961) n. comb., Paraeuplotidium arenarium (Magagnini & Nobili, 1964) n. comb., Paraeuplotidium helgae (Hartwig, 1980) n. comb., and Paraeuplotidium prosaltans (Tuffrau, 1985) n. comb. An improved generic diagnosis of Euplotidium is suggested based on morphology and infraciliature characters: marine hypotrichs with a funnel-shaped buccal cavity; with frontoventral and transverse cirri; neither left marginal cirrus nor caudal cirri present.

Notes on the Genus Prismatomeris Thw. (Rubiaceae) of China

In the classification of J. D. Hooker (1873) and of K. Schumann (1891), the genus Prismatomeris Thw. is included in the tribe Morindeae of Rubiaceae. In the modern classifications, e. g. Bremekamp (1966), however, the taxonomic position of the genus is still uncertain. The genus agrees with the tribe Morindeae in the downward radicle, valvate aestivation of the corolla lobes and presence of raphides, but it differs significantly from the latter in the free flowers, bilocular ovary and the peltate ovule attached to the upper half of septum. Therefore, it would be more suitable that the genus is separated from the tribe Morindeae Miq., and is raised to the rank of tribe, placed in the subfamily Rubioideae based on Bremekamp’s delimitation. In the present paper ten character pairs of the genus and the notes on their taxonomic value are presented and two following species are recognized: 1. P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schum. is found in northern India. Its subspecies, which is distributed in Yunnan of China and in Thailand, was previously called P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schumann, and is now revised as P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schum. subsp. multiflora (Ridley) Y. Z. Ruan. 2. P. connata Y.Z. Ruan is described as a new species, that has been treated as P. tetrandra (Roxb.) K. Schum. by previous auth rs. It is native to the subtropic region of South China. Its tropical new subspecies, P. connata. Y. Z. Ruan subsp. hainanensis Y. Z. Ruan, is found on Hainan Island.
