The pollen cones of Ginkgo from the Early Cretaceous of China, and their bearing on the evolutionary significance

A well-preserved pollen cone of the genus Ginkgo was found in the Yixian Formation (Early Cretaceous) of Liaoning Province, China, and is described as the new species Ginkgo liaoningensis . The pollen cone, catkin-like, consists of a main axis bearing scales at its base and spirally arranged sporophylls bearing 3–4 (−2) oval or elliptical sporangia. The sporangia are pendulous and dehiscent by a longitudinal slit. The mature pollen grains are monocolpate and elongate-elliptical, and the juvenile pollen grains are found in the tetrad stage. The characteristics of G. liaoningensis are very similar to those of the living Ginkgo biloba , but the sporophylls of G. liaoningensis bear 3–4 (−2) sporangia, whereas those of G. biloba bear mostly two sporangia. G. liaoningensis differs from fossil cones of Ginkgo huttoni from the Jurassic of Yorkshire, UK, and an unnamed specimen of Ginkgo from the Upper Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada, in the size and number of sporangia. The comparison between G. liaoningensis (fossil) and G. biloba (living) supports the reduction hypothesis of ovule organs in Ginkgo , with the number of sporangia having experienced the process of reduction from three or four to two since the Early Cretaceous.  © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 152 , 133–144.     

A new Tertiary Ginkgo (Ginkgoaceae) from the Wuyun Formation of Jiayin, Heilongjiang, northeastern China and its paleoenvironmental implications

The living fossil Ginkgo, a relict of a once dominant gymnosperm, existed and flourished early in the Mesozoic, but only a vague outline of its evolutionary history in the Tertiary has been unveiled. Here we describe a new species, Ginkgo jiayinensis sp. nov., from the Wuyun Formation of Jiayin, China, which is another well-established Tertiary species based on leaf fossils besides G. adiantoides. The most remarkable feature of the new species is the amphistomatic leaves, likely representing a distinct evolutionary line of the genus in this time interval. Ginkgo jiayinensis is similar to the co-occurring G. adiantoides and extant G. biloba in the lower cuticle, but the two latter species clearly differ in having hypostomatic leaves. Ginkgo biloba is used as the nearest living equivalent (NLE) species for both G. adiantoides and G. jiayinensis in reconstructing paleo-CO(2), as it has been used for other fossil species with either hypostomatic or amphistomatic leaves. The two Tertiary species are almost identical in stomatal index in abaxial cuticles (8.4 and 8.5, respectively), showing no strong differences in response to atmospheric CO(2). Amphistomatic G. jiayinensis would therefore have used a different ecological strategy from that of G. adiantoides of the same bed.

银杏传粉生物学研究进展

银杏(Ginkgo biloba L.)是最古老裸子植物之一,其传粉受精过程表现出许多特殊的原始性状和特征,在种子植物的系统演化上具有重要研究价值;同时,银杏种实经济价值高,但栽培上由于授粉受精不良而导致落花落果现象严重,因此了解银杏传粉生物学特性对于其种实的优质高产具有实际意义.本文从银杏雌雄株开花物候学、雌雄花形态结构特征、花粉和胚珠发育进程、花粉和胚珠生物学特性、传粉机制及花粉在胚珠内萌发生长进程等方面,对银杏传粉生物学相关研究进行综述,为银杏的系统演化、授粉受精和种实发育研究提供参考.     

NO对银杏悬浮细胞生长及黄酮类物质合成的影响

以硝普钠(sodium nitroprusside,SNP)为一氧化氮(NO)的供体,向银杏悬浮细胞培养液中加入不同浓度的SNP,研究外源NO对银杏悬浮细胞生长状况、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性、苯丙氨酸解氨酶(PAL)活性和黄酮类物质生物合成的影响.结果表明,低浓度SNP有利于银杏悬浮细胞生长,而高浓度SNP可以促进黄酮类物质的合成.银杏悬浮细胞在添加0.5和10 mmol/L SNP的培养基中培养16 d时,细胞干重分别为对照组的134%和73%;在添加10 mmol/L SNP的培养基中培养20 d时,细胞中黄酮类物质的含量为对照组的136%.同时,10 mmol/L SNP促进银杏悬浮细胞PAL和CAT活性显著升高.NO专一性淬灭剂c-PITO(carboxyl phenyltetramethylimidazoleoxide)抑制SNP对银杏悬浮细胞生长、CAT活性、PAL活性和黄酮类物质含量的促进作用,说明SNP是通过其分解产物NO影响细胞生长和黄酮类物质的合成.根据这些结果推测,NO可能通过触发银杏悬浮细胞的防卫反应,激活了细胞中黄酮类物质的生物合成途径.

Fingerprint profile of Ginkgo biloba nutritional supplements by LC/ESI-MS/MS

Ginkgo biloba is one of the most popular herb nutrition supplements, with terpene lactones and flavonoids being the two major active components. A fingerprint profile method was developed using a capillary HPLC/MS method which can identify more than 70 components from the G. biloba product. The method allows the flavonoids and terpene lactones to be detected simultaneously and information of both the parent ion and its fragmentation can be obtained in just one HPLC/MS run. Targeted post-acquisition analysis allows mass spectrometric information regarding the identification of flavonoid components to be easily distinguished from other data, however the same approach for terpene lactones was less successful due to dimer formation and requires further development. The fingerprint profiles of five commercial G. biloba nutritional supplements were obtained and compared; variation of some components among the samples was observed and fortification could be detected. In the quality control analysis of the G. biloba product this method could be viewed as complementary to specific quantitative analysis of some bioactive components of the herb.     

Evidence for the persistence of wild Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae) populations in the Dalou Mountains, southwestern China

?Premise of the study: The possible persistence of wild Ginkgo biloba populations in China has long been debated but never scientifically confirmed. We test our hypothesis that the extant Ginkgo populations in the Dalou Mountains (SW China) represent fragments of the original natural Ginkgo range and offer a range of pertinent perspectives on the living fossil Ginkgo's history, prehistory, ecology, and place in human culture-all important aspects of this highly valued species. ?Methods: We analyzed the vegetation of the study area, determined the population age structure of Ginkgo, and compared it to existing fossil records. For supporting material, we also examined records of the lack of human presence before the mid-17th century in the area, the local people's beliefs regarding preservation of the forests and existing genetic studies. ?Key results: Current species composition of Ginkgo forests in the Dalou Mountains agrees closely with floristic assemblages from fossil records bearing G. biloba. Current populations are found in habitats similar to those of fossil Ginkgo, which, as today, favored rock crevices. Female to male ratios are 3:2. Estimated ages for many of the trees show that Ginkgo was present in this area prior to human settlement and indigenous peoples of this area are unlikely to have planted Ginkgo because of traditional beliefs. Our results agree with existing genetic studies that show that these mountains were glacial refugia for G. biloba. ?Conclusions: The corroborative evidence confirms the finding that these populations represent fragments of the original natural Ginkgo in the valley and lower mountain slopes of the Dalou Mountains.     

Is Ginkgo biloba (Ginkgoaceae) really an oviparous plant?

Germination of Ginkgo biloba seeds with intact and removed sarcotesta was compared to test the role of the seed coat in germination biology. The presence of an intact sarcotesta significantly reduced total germination percentage when compared to seeds with the sarcotesta removed. Some seeds were also cold stratified. This treatment was not necessary for germination, but it did improve total germination percentage. The seeds were collected during the period of natural abscission. Contrary to the accepted literature, we found that Ginkgo seeds contain well-developed embryos at the time of dispersal. These data demonstrate that the seed coat contributes to winter dormancy of G. biloba, and that the phenology of this species is less primitive than popularly believed.     

银杏叶多酚的机械力辅助提取及其体外抗氧化活性研究

为优化银杏叶多酚提取工艺,通过单因素试验考察填充率、球磨转速、球磨时间、乙醇浓度、料液比、提取温度、提取时间七个因素对机械力辅助提取银杏叶多酚得率的影响,以银杏叶多酚得率为响应值,采用Box-Benhnken三因素三水平响应面设计优化工艺,同时比较了4种提取方法对银杏叶多酚提取得率和抗氧化活性的差异。结果表明,机械力辅助提取银杏叶多酚的最佳工艺条件为:填充率26%、球磨转速为400rpm、球磨时间为15min。在此条件下,银杏叶多酚的得率为7.33%。机械力辅助乙醇提取银杏叶多酚得率低于碱水提取法,但是抗氧化活性高于碱水法提取的银杏叶多酚;抗氧化活性与乙醇回流法提取的银杏叶多酚相当,但是提取得率高于乙醇回流法。此提取工艺高效可行,具有一定的参考价值。     

银杏药用物质的开发利用现状及其发展设想

本文概述了银杏叶的药理作用及其开发利用现状。目前,银杏药用物质的获取仍然是通过叶片提取这一途径,这同时存在地理环境、季节等诸多限制因素。而通过银杏组织、细胞培养获得其药用物质的技术研究刚刚起步,距离实际应用仍有相当的距离,但随着这项技术的不断发展,它不仅可用于生产银杏黄酮类和银杏内酯,而且有助于进一步研究银杏所含的特殊化学成分及其相关的代谢途径。     

Ginkgetin exerts anti-inflammatory effects on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion-induced injury in a rat model via the TLR4/NF-κB signaling pathway

Ginkgo biloba, a natural biflavonoid isolated from Ginkgo biloba leaves, is reported to have strong anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive properties. The aim of this study is to investigate the potential anti-inflammatory mechanisms of ginkgo flavonoids on cerebral ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Inflammatory-associated cytokines in cerebral ischemic hemispheres were determined by immunohistochemical staining, Western blot and enzyme-like immunosorbent assay (ELISA). Our results indicated that treatment with Ginkgetin significantly restored rat brain I/R-induced neurological deficit scores. Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) expression in Ginkgetin treatment group (100 mg/kg) also significantly reduced. The expression inflammation-related protein prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interleukin-8 (IL-8) was also decreased in Ginkgetin treatment group. However, the expression of interleukin-10 (IL-10) was remarkably increased. Thus, this study demonstrates that Ginkgetin protects neurons from I/R-induced rat injury by down-regulating pro-inflammatory cytokines and blocking the TLR4/NF-κB pathway.

EVOLUTIONARY TRENDS IN THE GENUS GINKGO

Three main independent phylogenetic groups within Ginkgoales , consisting of different families, are suggested. It is considered impossible to deduce the genus Ginkgo from any other genus by means of fossil evidence known at present.
The oldest finds of Ginkgo date from the Lower Jurassic. During the Cretaceous, increasing polymorphy in foliar remains indicates the rise of new species. During the Lower Cretaceous there also appears a type of leaf known both as G. adiantoides and as G. paradiantoides. This leaf is from the gross morphological and the anatomical point of view almost identical with the Tertiary and Recent Ginkgo populations, thus making a direct ancestry between the present-day Ginkgo and those of the Lower Cretaceous likely. By Lower Tertiary times a considerable reduction has taken place leaving only one gross morphological type of leaf, that of G. adiantoides. This is suggested to be identical with G. biloba. Although there is no positive evidence, it can be assumed that the final reduction of the genus, to its present-day East Asiatic home, has taken place during the Pleistocene period.     

银杏根系甲醇溶提物对离体培养条件下丛枝菌根真菌生长发育的研究

银杏根系甲醇溶提物对离体培养条件下丛枝菌根真菌生长发育的试验结果表明,银杏根系甲醇溶提物对离体条件下丛枝菌根真菌(Glonus mosseae,Gigaspora margarita)生长发育有明显的促进作用,能显著提高孢子萌发率,增加菌丝生长长度。与对照相比,浓度为20％～100％的甲醇溶提物均可显著促进丛枝菌根真菌的生长发育,80％甲醇溶提物效果最明显,银杏根系甲醇溶提物中含丰富的黄酮类化合物,溶提物中黄酮类物质的含量与甲醇洗脱剂的浓度有关,当浓度为80％时,黄酮含量最高,对银杏根系甲醇溶提物中黄酮类化合物含量与丛枝菌根真菌生长发育相关性分析发现,溶提物中黄酮类化合物含量与离体条件下丛枝菌根真菌孢子的生长发育表现为极显著的正相关关系,溶提物中黄酮含量越高,其对丛枝菌根真菌孢子的生长发育促进作用越大。     

Liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation/mass spectrometry: a rapid and selective method for the quantitative determination of ginkgolides and bilobalide in ginkgo leaf extracts and phytopharmaceuticals

In order to evaluate the composition of active constituents in phytopharmaceutical preparations, valid analytical methods are required. For the determination of the active terpene constituents of Ginkgo biloba (the ginkgolides and bilobalide), a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method has been developed using atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation (APCI) in the negative ion mode. This detection mode was found to be much more sensitive and selective compared to UV; indeed the ginkgo terpene trilactones lack strong UV chromophores and flavonoids interfere with their UV detection. LC-APCI/MS detection allowed a considerable reduction in analysis time when compared to LC-UV, because LC resolution was only needed between the pair of isomers ginkgolide B and ginkgolide J. All compounds were selectively detected by single ion monitoring of their specific deprotonated molecules [M-H]-. The samples were directly injected without pre-purification, and a fast gradient was applied, reducing the total time of analysis to 14 min. With this method, the ginkgo terpene trilactones were detected on-line in the picogram range. Several commercial ginkgo preparations on the Swiss market were analysed, and the ginkgolide and bilobalide contents were evaluated using the method described.
