陆地棉与斯特提棉的种间杂种及其色素腺体性状的遗传研究

用陆地棉（G．hirsutumL,AD染色体组;2n＝52）的不同色素腺体基因型与澳洲野生二倍体斯特提棉（G．sturtianumWillis;C染色体组,2n＝26）进行种间杂交,得到4个带不同色素腺体基因的（陆地棉×斯特提棉）F1种间杂种。种间杂种植株总体性状介于两个棉种之间,全株光滑无毛,表皮上有一层较薄的蜡质层,花大,深红色。不同色素腺体基因对种间杂种种子和F1植株色素腺体性状有较大的影响,其中gl2gl2gl3gl3和Gl2Gl2gl3gl3与斯特提棉杂交产生的种间杂种具有种子无色素腺体而植株有色素腺体的特性,只是用gl2gl2gl3gl3配制的种间杂种F1植株的色素腺体较一般有色素腺体陆地棉显著稀少。用gl2gl2Gl3Gl3和Gl2Gl2Gl3Gl3配制的种间杂种种子和F1植株均有色素腺体。研究结果初步表明,控制斯特提棉的子叶色素腺体延缓形成性状的基因对陆地棉无色素腺体基因（gl2gl2gl3gl3）和有色素腺体基因之一（Gl2Gl2）为显性上位,对陆地棉另一有色素腺体基因（Gl3Gl3）为隐性上位。

用同工酶和RAPD技术研究棉花三元杂种石远321新品种的遗传特性

石远321是从海岛棉×野生色伯氏棉×陆地棉三元杂种后代中选育而成的种间杂交新品种。其细胞学鉴定结果、形态学基本特征以及栽培特性均为陆地棉型。但在丰产性、棉纤维品 质及抗逆性等许多农艺性状和经济性状方面,该品种明显综合了多棉种多亲本的遗传特性。为了从分子水平上认识石远321的三元杂种性质及其变异水平,用等电聚焦电泳和RAPD技术,对石远321及其不同棉种亲本进行了遗传分析。主要结果如下（1）酯酶同工酶图谱分析表明,石远321与其野生棉亲本和海岛棉亲本同具有一条陆地棉亲本所没有的特异带;（2）用4个引物对石远321扩增共发现6个野生棉亲本和海岛棉亲本的特征片段;（3）通过比较石远321与其3个不同棉种亲本之间的RAPD差异,说明石远321在基因组水平上具有高度的遗传异质性。初步从分子水平上证实了石远321为上述3个棉种的种间杂交后代。

亚洲棉与比克氏棉杂交的研究

观察分析了亚洲棉×比克氏棉杂种后代的形态表现及减数分裂行为。结果表明,野生比克氏棉的形态性状遗传传递力较强,F_1在中期Ⅰ的染色体构型为15.14Ⅰ+5.29Ⅱ,二价体的平均交叉数为1.07;F_2的染色体构型为2.55Ⅰ+24.5Ⅱ+0.15 Ⅲ,二价体交叉数为1.83。F_2的开花习性表现异常,完全自花受精将有利于后代性状的快速稳定。F_2中分离出无腺体的植株,为将“油腺延缓形成”特性转育到栽培种提供了可能。     

棉族色素腺体的利用

棉族(Tribe Gossypieae) 是锦葵科(Malvaceae)内一个分类单位。色素腺体是棉族植物所特有的一个重要特征,迄今为止,在其他植物中尚未发现色素腺体的存在。色素腺体具有一定的形态,含有多种有毒的有色化学物质,其中棉酚是主要的化学成分,占色素腺体重量的39—50%,它是棉族这一类群最显著最一致的特征。棉酚对人和非反刍动物有毒,这限制了对棉籽这一富含蛋白质和脂     

木枣叶片再生植株及其变异系过氧化物酶同工酶分析

用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳分析了木枣叶片再生植株及其5种变异系过氧化物酶(POD)同工酶。结果表明：木枣叶片再生植株过氧化物酶同工酶由3个基因位点编码,位点1编码的是杂合三聚体酶,位点2和位点3编码的是纯合二聚体酶,其变异系中有不能表达位点2和位点3的植株,变异较大。也有完整表达3个基因位点的植株,且酶活性高。     

棉花感染枯萎病后过氧化物酶同工酶的变化

利用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳研究了棉花不同品种接种枯萎菌(Fusarium oxysporum f.sp.vasinfectum)后过氧化物酶同工酶的变化。接种后,感病品种(4个)比抗病品种(8个)的过氧化物酶同工酶的活性强,酶带数增多1—2条。这种变化与植株外部表现的症状相一致,即病情越重,酶带数越多。因此,感病植株的同工酶变化可以看作植株内部的“生化症状”。海岛棉、陆地棉和中棉之间,过氧化物酶同工酶存在着明显的差异。高度感染枯萎病的海岛棉同工酶最多(8条),其次为陆地棉的感病品种(7条),再次为陆地棉的抗病品种(6条),不感染枯萎病的中棉同工酶最少(4条)。由于抗病品种与感病品种过氧化物酶对枯萎菌侵染所作出的反应不同,因此,可以利用接种后感病品种比抗病品种产生新的酶带较多的特点,作为筛选棉花抗枯萎病品种的一种技术。     

The use of multiple alien chromosome addition aneuploids facilitates genetic linkage mapping of the Gossypium G genome.

Primary germplasm pools represent the most accessible source of new alleles for crop improvement, but not all effective alleles are available in the primary germplasm pool, and breeders must sometimes confront the difficulties of introgressing genes from the secondary and tertiary germplasm pools in cotton by using synthetic polyploids as introgression bridges. Two parental Gossypium nelsonii x Gossypium australe AFLP genetic linkage maps were used to identify G genome chromosome-specific molecular markers, which in turn were used to track the fidelity and frequency of G. australe chromosome transmission in a Gossypium hirsutum x G. australe hexaploid bridging family. Conversely, when homoeologous recombination is low, first generation aneuploids are useful adjuncts to genetic linkage mapping. Although locus ordering was not possible, the distribution of AFLP markers among 18 multiple chromosome addition aneuploids identified mapping errors among the G. australe and G. nelsonii linkage groups and assigned non-segregating G. australe AFLPs to linkage groups. Four putatively recombined G. australe chromosomes were identified in 5 of the 18 aneuploids. The G. australe and G. nelsonii genetic linkage maps presented here represent the first AFLP genetic linkage maps for the Gossypium G genome.     

种子重量的生态学研究进展

作为植物生活史中的一个关键性特征,种子重量与其它许多植物性状和生态因子有关,种子重量的分异与其它一些植物性状及环境的变化关系在进化生物学上已经成为一个非常有意义的研究内容,且具有一定的实践意义。种子重量被发现与下列的一些植物学和群落学性状有关:植物的生活型、种子的散布能力、种子的散布方式、植物的高度、植物的冠幅、植物的比叶面积、植物的寿命、动物的捕食、植被中植物的数量或多度、土壤中种子的数量或多度、种子的休眠、种子在土壤中的持久性和植物的净初级生产力等,另外生态因子如降雨、温度、坡向、海拔、经度、纬度、光强和干扰等都影响种子的重量。种子的重量被认为是在大量小种子和少量大种子之间的进化折衷,在一定的能量限度内,较大重量的种子一般具有较少的数量,而较小重量的种子一般数量较多,这是种子重量和数量方面具有的一种反向关系。与其它性状相比,很多研究都表明种子重量和植物的生活型的关系密切。没有散布结构或风散布的种子比以动物和水作为散布媒介的种子重量要小。种子重量与捕食的关系现发现有3种格局。种子重量和形状与种子在土壤中的持久性的关系有4种格局。在干旱和阴暗的环境条件下,种子有变大的趋势。大重量种子比小种子赋予幼苗较优势的竞争地位,其原理尚有争论,尚不清楚是否是幼苗阶段的竞争决定了世界上大部分植被类型的物种组成。未来的研究方向主要有以下几个方面:1) 种子重量与植物系统学相结合,探索种子重量的变化规律;2)调查群落三向(纬度、经度和海拔)性的种子重量谱变化规律;3) 群落演替与群落种子重量谱的变化;4) 种子重量与群落中植物个体和种子的数量的关系及机理研究;5) 微生境、微地形如坡向、坡位和林间隙等对种子重量的影响;6) 全球气候变化和种子重量变化的关系。     

蚂蚁对澜沧舞花姜种子散布及种苗空间分布格局的影响

 在野外系统观测了澜沧舞花姜（Globba lancangensis）18个果实共216粒种子的散布过程。共有10种蚂蚁参与了澜沧舞花姜的种子散布,距离为0.01～3.35 m,平均距离(0.47±0.03) m（平均值±SE,n=216）。其中最重要的３种蚂蚁是横纹齿猛蚁（Odontoponera transversa）、大头蚁(Pheidole sp.)和黄足厚结猛蚁(Pachycondyla luteipes),其出现频率分别为61%、50%和28%,散布的平均距离分别为(0.60±0.09) m、(0.20±0.01) m和(0.32±0.05) m。从总体上看,蚂蚁促进了种子的分散,降低了种子的聚集程度。横纹齿猛蚁对于种子上的油质体最为敏感,对人工去除了油质体的种子不搬运,对种子散布距离较远,暗示了其与澜沧舞花姜之间可能存在更紧密的互惠关系。野外样方调查结果表明,在3种舞花姜属植物中,以种子繁殖为主的澜沧舞花姜种苗之间的平均最近距离为(36.8±1.45) cm（平均值±SE,n=74）,显著大于以珠芽繁殖为主的毛舞花姜（Globba barthiri）的(29.8±2.70) m（n=34）（t73,33=2.11,p=0.037）和异果舞花姜（Globba racemosa）的(28.7±3.16) cm（n=32）（t73,31=2.33,p=0.022）;澜沧舞花姜的种苗聚集程度（Z=-1.70±0.19）显著小于毛舞花姜（Z=-2.58±0.37,t73,33=2.36,p=0.020）和异果舞花姜（Z=-3.28±0.53）（t73,31=3.54,p=0.001）。这说明相对于毛舞花姜和异果舞花姜,蚂蚁对种子的散布作用显著增加了澜沧舞花姜种苗间的平均最近距离,降低了居群的聚集度。     

SPATIAL AND TEMPORAL VARIATION IN THE SEED BANK OF A SEMIARID GRASSLAND

The spatial and temporal variability in the seed bank of a semiarid grassland in Colorado was evaluated using soil cores. Spatial variability in the soil storage of germinable seeds was assessed by sampling two shortgrass plant communities on sites with the same climatic conditions but differing in soil texture. Differences between communities were largely the result of annual plant seeds. Eight sampling dates over two years were used to assess temporal variability, which was more important to the storage of germinable seeds than spatial variability. Differences in the numbers of seeds stored were found between the two sampling years, and seasonally within years. The number of seedlings that emerged from the samples ranged from 122–2,748/m². A poor correspondence was found between the species composition of the plant communities and the storage of germinable seeds; however, the species composition of the seeds produced on the sites tended to have a high similarity with the seedlings that emerged. Most of the species had a transient rather than a persistent presence in the seed bank.     

Morphological variation and female reproductive success in two sympatric Trillium species: evidence for phenotypic selection in Trillium erectum and Trillium grandiflorum (Liliaceae)

I investigated the mating systems and phenotypic variation of two sympatric spring ephemerals, Trillium erectum and T. grandiflorum (Liliaceae), and phenotypic selection acting through female reproductive success for 11 morphological characters in five sympatric populations of the two species. I examined the degree of self-compatibility, pollinator-visitation rates, and pollen limitation of fruit and seed production in both species. Both Trillium species were self-compatible, but outcrossed flowers produced more successful fruits and seeds than self-pollinated flowers. Pollinator-visitation rates to the two species were low compared to other insect-pollinated spring ephemerals. In addition, both T. erectum and T. grandiflorum experienced pollen limitation in fruit and/or seed production; however, levels of fecundity in both species may be influenced by resource availability as well. I found significant phenotypic variation in 11 morphological characters within and among the five study populations. The sizes of all morphological characters were positively correlated. In general, larger T. erectum and T. grandiflorum produced more seeds. Phenotypic selection analysis revealed that direct and indirect selection acted on the size of morphological characters for both species. But there was no detectable selection acting on plant shape. This study reveals that variation in plant size exists within and among populations of both species, and this variation is associated with variance in female reproductive success. Spatial and temporal variation in pollinator and/or resource abundance may play a role in the phenotypic variation exhibited by both Trillium species.     

明党参的濒危机制及其保护对策的研究

本文对明党参的资源状况、种群生态、种子结构、植株结构实率与环境的关系及传粉生物学等方面进行了研究。从种子形态及分子水平对明党参的遗传多样性和遗传结构进行了分析。研究结果表明,明党参种子后熟阶段与梅雨气候的不协调是导致种子萌发率低及更新种群少的主要原因之一;人类活动破坏了明党参的适宜生境和种群数量,使得种群间基因流减小,进而导致严重的遗传漂变及种群间的分化。由此提出了对明常参就地和迁地保护的有效措施。

Former diversity of Ephedra (Gnetales): evidence from Early Cretaceous seeds from Portugal and North America

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The extant species of the seed plant group Gnetales (Ephedra, Gnetum and Welwitschia) have been considered a remnant of a much greater, now extinct, diversity due to the pronounced differences in form and ecology among the genera. Until recently, this hypothesis has not been supported by evidence from the fossil record. This paper adds to the expanding information on Gnetales from the Early Cretaceous and describes coalified seeds from Barremian-Albian localities in Portugal and USA. METHODS: The fossils were extracted from sediment samples by sieving in water. Adhering mineral matrix was removed by chemical treatment. Seeds were investigated using light and scanning electron microscopy. Morphology and anatomy of the seeds were documented and compared with those of extant species. KEY RESULTS: The fossils share characters with extant Ephedra, for example papillae on the inner surface of the seed envelope and in situ polyplicate pollen grains that shed the exine during germination. They differ from extant Ephedra seeds in morphological and anatomical details as well as in their smaller size. Two new species of Ephedra are described together with one species assigned to a new genus of Gnetales. Other Ephedra-like seeds, for which pollen and critical morphological details are currently unknown, are also present in the samples. CONCLUSIONS: These Cretaceous seeds document that key reproductive characters and pollen germination processes have remained unchanged within Ephedra for about 120 million years or more. There is sufficient variety in details of morphology to suggest that a diversity of Ephedra and Ephedra-like species were present in the Early Cretaceous flora. Their presence in Portugal and eastern North America indicates that they were widespread on the Laurasian continent. The fossil seeds are similar to seeds of Erdtmanithecales and this supports the previously suggested relationship between Erdtmanithecales and Gnetales.

CHILBINIA GEN. NOV., AN ARCHAIC SEED FERN IN THE LATE TRIASSIC CHINLE FORMATION OF ARIZONA, USA

Abstract:  A seed-bearing pinnate leaf found in the Chinle Formation of Late Triassic age in Arizona appears to be an archaic seed fern that more closely resembles typical Carboniferous–Permian seed fern leaves than any younger form. The fossil, which is described here as Chilbinia lichii gen. et sp. nov., incorporates characters of several Palaeozoic taxa. These characters include pinnules that have reticulate venation resembling that in some species of Lonchopteris , cordate bases similar to those found in many species of Sphenopteris , and, except for a significant difference in size, linear ovate seeds that resemble the radially symmetrical seeds found attached to a species of Alethopteris in the Permian of China. The presence of this fossil in strata of Late Triassic age is further evidence that plant extinctions after the Permian–Triassic ecological crisis followed a stepwise pattern and apparently continued for at least 20–25 myr after the end of the Permian in western parts of the Triassic paratropical belt.
