黄瓜花原基的形成及与Ca^2＋的关系

以黄瓜为试验材料研究了肉眼可见的花原基突起之前,花原基早期的分化过程。结果显示花原基分化和开花的起始节位是第一真叶节;肉眼可见花原基突起前早期的分化是在叶腋亚表皮部位形成一个球形的花原基起始细胞团,此细胞团进一步分裂、扩大形成肉眼可见的花原基突起;第一真叶节的花原基起始细胞团分化集中发生于6—7d苗龄时期;Ca^2 在花原基起始细胞团细胞中主要分布在细胞壁和细胞间隙,而在非起始细胞团的叶腋亚表皮细胞则主要分布在液泡中,并对Ca^2 在花原基起始细胞团分化中的作用进行了讨论。     

臭椿花器官分化的初步研究

利用扫描电镜(SEM)和光镜(LM)对臭椿花序及花器官的分化和发育进行了初步研究,表明:1)臭椿花器官分化于当年的4月初,为圆锥花序;2)分化顺序为花萼原基、花冠原基、雄蕊原基和雌蕊原基。5个萼片原基的发生不同步,并且呈螺旋状发生;5个花瓣原基几乎同步发生且其生长要比雄蕊原基缓慢;雄蕊10枚,两轮排列,每轮5个原基的分化基本是同步的;雌蕊5,其分化速度较快;3)在两性花植株中,5个心皮顶端粘合形成柱头和花柱,而在雄株中,5个心皮退化,只有雄蕊原基分化出花药和花丝。本研究着重观察了臭椿中雄花及两性花发育的过程中两性花向单性花的转变。结果表明,臭椿两性花及单性花的形成在花器官的各原基上是一致的(尽管时间上有差异),雌雄蕊原基同时出现在每一个花器官分化过程中,但是,可育性结构部分的形成取决于其原基是否分化成所应有的结构:雄蕊原基分化形成花药与花丝,雌蕊原基分化形成花柱、柱头和子房。臭椿单性花的形成是由于两性花中雌蕊原基的退化所造成,其机理有待于进一步研究。

Developmental study on the inflorescence and flower of Caldesia grandis Samuel (Alismataceae)

The inflorescence and floral development of Caldesia grandis Samuel is reported for the first time in this paper. The basic units of the large cymo‐thyrsus inflorescence are short panicles that are arranged in a pseudowhorl. Each panicle gives rise spirally to three bract primordia also arranged in a pseudowhorl. The branch primordia arise at the axils of the bracts. Each panicle produces spirally three bract primordia with triradiate symmetry (or in a pseudowhorl) and three floral primordia in the axils of the bract primordia. The apex of the panicle becomes a terminal floral primordium after the initiations of lateral bract primordia and floral primordia. Three sepal primordia are initiated approximately in a single whorl from the floral primordium. Three petal primordia are initiated alternate to the sepal primordia, but their subsequent development is much delayed. The first six stamen primordia are initiated as three pairs in a single whorl and each pair appears to be antipetalous as in other genera of the Alismataceae. The stamen primordia of the second whorl are initiated trimerously and opposite to the petals. Usually, 9–12 stamens are initiated in a flower. There is successive transition between the initiation of stamen and carpel primordia. The six first‐initiated carpel primordia rise simultaneously in a whorl and alternate with the trimerous stamens, but the succeeding ones are initiated in irregular spirals, and there are 15–21 carpels developed in a flower. Petals begin to enlarge and expand when anthers of stamens have differentiated microsporangia. Such features do not occur in C. parnassifolia. In the latter, six stamen primordia are initiated in two whorls of three, carpel primordia are initiated in 1–3 whorls, and there is no delay in the development of petals. C. grandis is thus considered more primitive and C. parnassifolia more derived. C. grandis shares more similarities in features of floral development with Alsma, Echinodorus, Luronium and Sagittaria. © 2002 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society, 2002, 140 , 39–47.     

Effect of Main Root Decapitation on Root Branching in Flax Seedlings

Root branching patterns in intact and decapitated flax (Linum usitatissimumL.) roots were compared. The number of initiated primordia in the control and decapitated roots was similar, but decapitated roots produced an increased number of lateral roots owing to an increase in the number of primordia developed into the laterals. It is suggested that the apical meristem influences lateral root development only at the stage of root emergence from the parent root.     

Shoot initiation in light- and dark-grown tobacco callus: the role of ethylene

Shoot-forming tobacco ( Nicotiana tabacum L. cv. Wisconsin 38) callus produces less endogenous ethylene than non-shoot-forming tissue cultured in the light (16 h photoperiod) or the dark. In shoot-forming tissue more ethylene is produced early in culture (days 0–5) than later. Also dark-grown tissue produces much more ethylene than light-grown. On the basis of experiments in which (1) gaseous ethylene was added to or (2) CO₂ removed from the flasks, (3) Ethrel (an ethylene releasing agent) and (4) 1-aminocyclopropane 1-carboxylic acid (an ethylene precursor) were added to the medium, it was determined that this gaseous phytohormone had two contrary effects on shoot initiation (shoot primordium formation). Early in culture (days 0–5) endogenous or exogenous ethylene inhibited organogenesis, but later (days 5–10) exogenous ethylene or increased endogenous ethylene production speeded up primordium formation.     

In vitro studies on the anatomy and morphology of bud regeneration in melon cotyledons

Summary The anatomy and morphology of bud regeneration were investigated in melon (Cucumis melo L.) cv. Galia, which regenerates in vitro only by direct organogenesis from the cotyledon explant. Explants were cut from the cotyledon proximal to the apex from 3-d-old in vitro seedlings. After 3 d on Murashige and Skoog medium with N⁶-benzyladenine, cell division can be observed in the epidermal layer on the adaxial side in the center of the explant, near the most proximal (wounded) cut edge. Over the next week, the area of the meristem increases laterally. Additional cell layers are added to the meristematic area by cell division in the epidermis. In places the epidermis remains active in cell division. Alongside those active areas there are zones where the epidermis has become inactive, although the subepidermal layers continue to divide. In transverse section, the explant now has small protuberances on the adaxial surface. After 10 d on cytokinin-containing medium, the first signs of development are visible on the adaxial surface adjacent to the proximal cut edge. The protuberances observed after 10 d are neither primordia nor buds, although some meristematic bulges are observed. The first regenerated shoot buds are observed histologically after 15 d, by which time the surface has many protuberances and some small leaves. The first shoot is found by histology after 22 d. By this time the surface is covered with protrusions and leaves, mostly without accompanying buds. The leaves may be produced from the protrusions initially visible after 10 d.     

Dédoublement revisited: towards a renewed interpretation of the androecium of the Magnoliophytina

RONSE DECRAENE, L. P. & SMETS, E F., 1993. Dedoublement revisited: towards a renewed interpretation of the androecium of the Magnoliophytina. There has been much controversy about dedoublement in the past. Dedoublement was originally described as a process of doubling of a (stamen) primordium up to two equivalent primordia. Later, it was extended to explain occurrences of higher stamen numbers, even without evidence of a division. Different interpretations from both opponents and protagonists of dedoublement are critically examined and concepts such as negative, positive, serial, lateral and congenital dedoublement are discussed. Some case studies are presented to evaluate the concept of dedoublement. Paired stamens are not necessarily the result of splitting; they can also arise by a spatial shift, connected with the cyclization of a spiral flower. Two smaller stamen primordia replacing a stamen without visible splitting and a primordium dividing ontogenetically into a stamen pair are essentially similar. The morphological difference between both configurations can be explained by the principle of variable proportions. Radial dedoublement and stamen-petal complexes are examples of meristem fusion (absorption) and may be defined by the term 'negative dedoublement' in the sense of Celakovsky (1894). A distinction between 'dedoublement' sensu stricto and 'polygenesis' is proposed.     

Shoot organogenesis and plant regeneration in mulberry (Morus bombycis Koidz): Factors influencing morphogenetic potential in callus cultures

Regeneration of multiple shoots via callus induction and organogenesis was achieved in mulberry (Morus bombycis). Pre-soaked internodal explants in 4.4–8.9 M benzyladenine (BA) formed callus on Linsmaier and Skoog's medium containing 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (9.05 M), -naphthaleneacetic acid (2.85 M) and BA (2.2 M). Explants soaked for 48 to 72 h in low levels of BA produced loose and nodular callus that showed regeneration ability. Calluses developed adventitious shoot buds within 3–4 weeks on medium containing BA (8.9 M). Fifteen-week-old calluses developed fewer shoot buds than five-week-old calluses, indicating a decrease in morphogenetic potential with increasing duration of callus cultures. Semi-thin section microscopy was used to evaluate incapability of sustained regeneration. Development of normal shoot bud primordia, due to sub-surface reorganisation, was high in young calluses. The decline in the frequency of shoot bud primordia formation with callus ageing is due to reduced cell division activity in epidermal as well as sub-epidermal layers.     

Variation in the polysome assembly and incorporation of [3H]-uridine in the cells of pine buds during the cold season

The ribosome assemblies isolated from buds of Scots pine ( Pinus sylvestris L.) containing microsporangiate strobili varied both quantitatively and qualitatively in samples collected from October to April. The seasonal fluctuation in the amount of ribosonnes was more evident in the cytosolic fraction than in the smaller membrane-bound fraction. The profiles obtained after sucrose density gradient centrifugation were of two types. One type was commonly obtained from samples collected late in the autumn and early in the spring, and this type was characterized by a relatively high peak for the large subunits, a low or negligible peak for the dimers, and an even or ascending series of peaks for the polymers. The other type was obtained from samples collected during the winter, and was characterized by small peaks for both subunits, a moderate to large peak for the dimers and a descending series of peaks for the polymers. However, the scanning electron microscope investigations indicated that the winter-time samples did not lack polysomes and clusters of ribosomes. They did not become visible in the polysome profiles because they pelleted too tightly at the bottom of the centrifuge tubes to be removed with gradient fractionation. The au-toradiographic analyses suggested that the cells were capable of synthesizing mRNA throughout the winter, whereas rRNA synthesis was arrested. On the basis of the above results, we postulate that the synthesis of the enzyme proteins needed for the maintenance of winter-time metabolism takes place in the cytosolic ribosome fraction. The possible existence of winter-time polysome stores is also pointed out.     

The prediction of leaf canopy expansion in the leek from a simple model dependent on primordial development

In an analysis of leaf development of leek plants grown in the field in 1988, successive leaves initiated, appeared (tip and ligule) and senesced at equal intervals of accumulated temperature/thermal time. These intervals corresponded to a plastochron of 92°C days and phyllochrons of 135 (tip) and 233 (ligule) °C days. The rate of appearance of ligules was exactly equal to the rate of leaf senescence, with the result that the number of fully-expanded leaves per plant remained constant at 1.4. These data, which were compatible with results from previous seasons, were used to develop a model of the interrelationships between primordium initiation at the shoot apex and subsequent events in the development of individual leaves. Primordium initiation is considered to be the primary controlling event in the life of a leaf, and the processes of tip appearance, ligule appearance and death can be predicted from knowledge of the number of primordia which have been initiated, without reference to the environment. A model of canopy expansion, based on the central role of the shoot apex, was developed using the temperature relations of primordium initiation and additional data on leaf expansion and leaf dimensions. Leaf area indices computed in this way provided a satisfactory simulation of the thermal-time course of leaf area index observed in a previous season, 1985.
