穿龙薯蓣的花序特征研究

花序是影响植物繁殖的关键性状,也在分类学和系统发育研究中起着重要作用。药用植物穿龙薯蓣（Discorea nipponica）的花序类型具有多样型,但目前相关研究资料较少,且常有争议。为明晰穿龙薯蓣的花序类型及特征,本研究以观察测量为主,结合石蜡制片技术,对穿龙薯蓣的花序形态、数量性状及发育过程进行研究。结果表明：穿龙薯蓣雌花形成腋生的穗状花序,具退化雄蕊,具花粉囊,但不产生花粉;雄花序特征与现有资料的描述不尽相同,雄花序生于叶腋或顶生于侧枝,花序主轴为无限花序,侧轴为蝎尾状单歧聚伞花序,整体为形似穗状的混合花序;由于雄株部分侧枝叶片退化,腋生花序向顶逐渐短缩,与顶生花序结合呈圆锥状;雄花序的长度、小花数量、小花密度及花期时间等均高于雌花序。本研究发现,穿龙薯蓣雌雄花序形态与有限花序向无限花序演化过程相符,具原始性,可保证传粉的成功率,增强对环境的适应性。     

千金榆花序及花器官发育

在扫描电镜下首次观察了桦木科鹅耳枥属千金榆花序和花的形态发生过程。千金榆雌花序由多个小聚伞花序螺旋状排列组成;每个小花序原基分化出1枚初级苞片和一团小花序原基分生组织,由小花序原基分生组织分化形成2个花原基和2个次级苞片;每个花原基分化出2个心皮原基,形成1个二心皮雌蕊;次级苞片远轴面发育快于近轴面,呈不均等的联合状;雌蕊基部有1层环状花被原基。雄花序为柔荑状,由多个小聚伞花序螺旋状排列组成;每个小花序原基分化出1枚初级苞片和一团小花序原基分生组织,由小花序原基分生组织分化出3个花原基分区,并分化形成3朵小花,小花无花被,位于两侧的小花分别有2枚雄蕊,位于中央的小花有4枚雄蕊,雄蕊共8枚,稀为10枚,该3朵小花为二歧聚伞状排列,其花基数应为2基数。     

基部被子植物雪香兰（金粟兰科）单性花的形态发生和发育

基部被子植物金粟兰科（Chloranthaceae）的单性花或两性花结构十分简单,雪香兰（Hedyosmum orientale）花单性、雌雄异株,花的形态及结构与其它属物种具有显著的差异,对于研究被子植物花特别是花被的起源和系统进化具有重要意义。该研究采用电子显微镜和光学显微镜观察了雪香兰单性花的器官发生及发育过程。结果表明,雌、雄花均为顶生和腋生,多个小花呈聚伞圆锥状排列。雄花外侧是苞片,每朵雄花上着生150–200个雄蕊,花轴基部着生少数退化的叶原体。苞片原基及其腋生的花原基最初呈圆丘状,随后伸长。在雄花发育过程中,苞片原基比雄蕊原基生长快,雄花原基纵向伸长,叶原体原基在基部发生,雄蕊原基自下而上发生。每2朵雌花底部合生形成小聚伞花序,每朵雌花被一苞叶包裹,由单心皮和三棱型子房构成,外覆三裂叶状花被。在雌花发育过程中,雌花原基比苞片原基生长快,花被原基首先于花顶端发生,随后花顶端中心凹陷,进一步发育成具有单心皮的子房原基。雪香兰的单性花发育不经过两性同体阶段,花分生组织只起始雄蕊器官或雌蕊器官的发育。研究结果支持雪香兰单性花是原始性状的观点,雄花叶原体与雌花三裂叶状花被同源,可能是花被（萼片与花瓣）的起源。

乙烯利及赤霉酸对瓠瓜性别的影响

瓠瓜(Lagenarla leucantha Rusby)品种“杭州长葫芦”的正常开花习性,是在主蔓上,每一叶腋开一朵雄花。但在幼苗期用乙烯利喷洒处理,可以促进多生雌花,少生雄花。但当乙烯利与GA_3混合使用时,显示GA_3有抵消乙烯利效应的作用,而这种作用的大小,与GA_3的浓度有关。 不论在长光照、短光照或自然光照下,乙烯利处理都可以促进主蔓多生雌花,少生雄花。但对侧蔓的影响不大。而用GA_3处理,对主蔓的雌雄性别,几乎没有影响。但对侧蔓的雌花数有减少的趋势。 乙烯利喷洒处理时,瓠瓜植株的节数愈多,则连续着生雌花的节数(相当于花数),有减少的顷向。但由处理时植株的顶叶数起到开始着生雌花之间的节数,则不同处理时期之间,相差不大。 试验证明:雄花的花药长度只有在0.2～0.4毫米以下时,才能为乙烯利处理转变为雌花。当雄花发育到花药长度超过0.5毫米时,就不能为乙烯利转变为雌花。乙烯利处理,并不能诱导瓠瓜分化更多的雌花,而只是使原来的雄花芽转变成为雌花。     

青稞HvBAS1基因的克隆及表达分析

细胞色素P450单加氧酶(CYP450)是参与植物代谢的最大酶家族,其中CYP734A亚家族成员广泛参与植物激素油菜素类固醇(BRs)的失活。该研究以青稞农家品种‘肚里黄’幼苗为实验材料,通过人工合成激素24 表油菜素内酯(24 eBL)和BRs合成抑制剂油菜素唑(BRZ)处理,分析BRs对青藏高原特色作物青稞(Hordeum vulgare L. var. nudum Hook. f.)的影响;采用RT PCR技术从青稞中克隆HvBAS1基因,并运用实时定量PCR检测其表达特征,为深入分析HvBAS1基因的功能奠定研究基础。结果显示：(1)24 eBL能够显著促进青稞幼苗的生长,而BRZ处理后幼苗长势明显减缓。(2)从青稞中成功克隆到2个与拟南芥BRs失活基因BAS1高度同源的CYP734A亚家族基因,即HvBAS1 1和HvBAS1 2;HvBAS1 1开放阅读框全长1 629 bp,编码542个氨基酸;HvBAS1 2长1 689 bp,编码562个氨基酸,二者氨基酸序列相似性为76.42%;亚细胞定位预测结果显示二者均存在于内质网。(3)实时定量PCR检测发现,青稞HvBAS1 1与HvBAS1 2的表达模式完全不同,其中HvBAS1 1在青稞根中的表达量高于叶中,而HvBAS1 2在叶中的表达量高于根,且随着苗龄的增大,HvBAS1 1在根中的表达呈先升高后降低的趋势,HvBAS1 2在叶片中呈先降低后升高的变化趋势;BRZ处理青稞幼苗后,其HvBAS1 1与HvBAS1 2基因的表达较对照均显著下调,且HvBAS1 2下调更为明显。研究表明,HvBAS1 1和HvBAS1 2很可能都参与了青稞内源BRs的失活,但二者的功能存在差异。

Stylosanthes sp. aff.S. scabra: a putative diploid progenitor ofStylosanthes scabra (Fabaceae)

Stylosanthes sp. aff.S. scabra is an undescribed taxon showing affinities with the allotetraploid speciesS. scabra, but distinct in a number of attibutes. Several collections show potential as forage for clay soils in northern Australia. Twelve accessions have been analysed using STS (sequence-tagged-sites) as genetic markers, and they all displayed STS phenotypes of typical diploid species. Taking into account their morphological similarities, the STS analysis provides strong evidence thatStylosanthes sp. aff.S. scabra might be a diploid progenitor of the allotetraploidS. scabra. This speculation was supported by cytological examinations. Somatic chromosome numbers of two of these accessions were counted and both were found to be diploid (2n = 20). The level of polymorphism among the 12Stylosanthes sp. aff.S. scabra accessions, estimated using randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) as markers, was 7.8%, and the dissimilarity value betweenStylosanthes sp. aff.S. scabra andS. viscosa (the other putative progenitor ofS. scabra) was 89%.

Candida alocasiicola sp. nov., Candida hainanensis sp. nov., Candida heveicola sp. nov. and Candida musiphila sp. nov., novel anamorphic, ascomycetous yeast species isolated from plants

In a taxonomic study on the ascomycetous yeasts isolated from plant materials collected in tropical forests in Yunnan and Hainan Provinces, southern China, four strains isolated from tree sap (YJ2E(T)) and flowers (YF9E(T), YWZH3C(T) and YYF2A(T)) were revealed to represent four undescribed yeast species. Molecular phylogenetic analysis based on the large subunit (26S) rRNA gene D1/D2 domain sequences showed that strain YJ2E(T) was located in a clade together with Candida haemulonii and C. pseudohaemulonii. Strain YF9E(T) was most closely related to C. azyma and strain YWZH3C(T) to C. sorbophila and C. spandovensis. Strain YYF2A(T) was clustered in a clade containing small-spored Metschnikowia species and related anamorphic Candida species. The new strains differed from their closely related described species by more than 10% mismatches in the D1/D2 domain. No sexual states were observed for the four strains on various sporulation media. The new species are therefore assigned to the genus Candida and described as Candida alocasiicola sp. nov. (type strain, YF9E(T) = AS 2.3484(T) = CBS 10702(T)), Candida hainanensis sp. nov. (type strain, YYF2A(T) = AS 2.3478(T) = CBS 10696(T)), Candida heveicola sp. nov. (type strain, YJ2E(T) = AS 2.3483(T) = CBS 10701(T)) and Candida musiphila sp. nov. (type strain, YWZH3C(T) = AS 2.3479(T) = CBS 10697(T)).     

Characterization of the nuclear DNA ofPhialophora gregata ff.sp.adzukicola andsojae

Phialophora gregata nuclear (n) DNA was characterized by physical methods. The nDNA of f.sp.adzukicola was shown to be larger than that of f.sp.sojae, 2.9 and 2.1 × 10¹⁰ Da, respectively. The amounts of repetitive sequence and AT-rich region in the nDNA were also larger in f.sp.adzukicola than f.sp.sojae. These results indicate that the nuclear genome organization of the two formae speciales is differentiated.     

Classification of novel soil streptomycetes as Streptomyces aureus sp. nov., Streptomyces laceyi sp. nov. and Streptomyces sanglieri sp. nov

The taxonomic positions of soil isolates known as Streptomyces groups A, B and C were clarified. Comparative 16S rDNA sequence studies indicated that representatives of all three taxa formed distinct phyletic lines within the Streptomyces tree though the group A strains were shown to be related to Streptomyces griseus and associated validly described species. The taxonomic integrity of all three groups was highlighted by DNA:DNA relatedness and ribotype data though the group A strains encompassed a higher degree of genetic variation than the group B and C strains. In light of these and earlier phenotypic data it is proposed that Streptomyces groups A, B and C be given species status as Streptomyces sanglieri sp. nov., Streptomyces aureus sp. nov. and Streptomyces laceyi sp. nov., respectively. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Differential susceptibility ofphialophora gregata ff.sp.adzukicola andsojae to antimicrobial chemicals

The susceptibility ofPhialophora gregata ff.sp.adzukicola andsojae to antimicrobial chemicals was investigated. The minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs) of benomyl, chloramphenicol, CuSO₄, cycloheximide and perchlorate for mycelial growth were the same for the two formae speciales. The MIC of hygromycin against f.sp.adzukicola was slightly lower than that against f.sp.sojae, and the latter was more resistant to iprodion than the former. Susceptibility to nystatin was markedly different: ff.sp.adzukicola andsojae had relative growth values of 3–20% and 59–93% at 100 µg/ml, respectively, and this difference could be used to differentiate the two formae speciales.     

The genusAntennaria (Asteraceae: Inuleae) in western North America: Morphometric analysis ofAntennaria alborosea,A. corymbosa,A. marginata,A. microphylla,A. parvifolia,A. rosea,andA. umbrinella

Multivariate analysis of vegetative and reproductive characters was used to examine morphological relatedness amongAntennaria alborosea A. E. Porsild,A. corymbosa E. Nels.,A. marginata Greene,A. microphylla Rydb.,A. parvifolia Nutt.,A. rosea Greene, andA. umbrinella Rydb. Both pistillate and staminate plants were examined. Some of the characters examined were variable in one species, but stable in another (i.e., presence or absence of papillae on the achenes). Our analyses indicate that the seven species are morphologically distinct. It is hypothesized that theA. rosea agamic complex arose through hybridization amongA. corymbosa, A. microphylla, A. umbrinella, and possiblyA. dioica (L.)Gaertn. However, hybridization between the three former species and others, as well as their subsequent morphological responses to different environmental conditions causes confusion in recognizing the taxa.Antennaria angustifolia Rydb.,A. arida E. Nels.,A. confinis Greene,A. scariosa E. Nels.,A. foliacea humilis Rydb.,A. concinna E. Nels., andA. viscidula E. Nels. are considered to represent F 1 hybrids.     

Standard karyotypes ofAegilops uniaristata,Ae. mutica,Ae. comosa subspeciescomosa andheldreichii (Poaceae)

C-banding patterns and polymorphisms were analyzed in several accessions of the diploidAegilops speciesAe. uniaristata, Ae. mutica, andAe. comosa subsp.comosa and subsp.heldreichii, and standard karyotypes of these species were established. Variation in C-band size and location was observed between different accessions, but did not prevent chromosome identification. One accession ofAe. uniaristata was homozygous for whole-arm translocations involving chromosomes 1N and 5N. The homoeologous relationships of these chromosomes were established by comparison of chromosome morphologies and C-banding patterns to other diploidAegilops species with known chromosome homoeology. In addition, in situ hybridization analysis with a 5S rDNA probe was used to identify homoeologous groups 1 and 5 chromosomes. The present analysis permitted the assignment of allAe. mutica, comosa subsp.comosa, andAe. comosa subsp.heldreichii chromosomes, and three of the sevenAe. uniaristata chromosomes according to their homoeologous groups. The data presented will be useful analyzing genome differentiation in polyploidAegilops species.
