七种中国淫羊藿属药用植物细胞分类学研究

该研究应用常规压片法对7种中国淫羊藿属药用植物进行了核型分析,为淫羊藿属药用植物的分类及选育等提供理论基础。结果表明：7种淫羊藿属植物体细胞染色体数目均为2n＝2x＝12,基数x＝6;水城淫羊藿、腺毛淫羊藿、保靖淫羊藿、拟巫山淫羊藿、天全淫羊藿5个种均有4对m染色体和2对sm染色体,核型公式均为2n＝2x＝12＝8m(2SAT)＋4sm,其中水城淫羊藿、腺毛淫羊藿的核型分析为首次报道;镇坪淫羊藿、偏斜淫羊藿具有3对m染色体和3对sm染色体,核型公式为2n＝2x＝12＝6m(2SAT)＋6sm。拟巫山淫羊藿第2对染色体具随体,其余物种第1对染色体均有随体;腺毛淫羊藿、保靖淫羊藿、拟巫山淫羊藿、镇坪淫羊藿、偏斜淫羊藿、天全淫羊藿均属于Stebbins 2A类型,水城淫羊藿为Stebbins 1A类型。结合文献综合分析发现,该属植物不同种间的核型高度一致,核型稳定,种间核型差异小,核型结构与地理分布、形态特征相关性较小。因此,淫羊藿属是一个在核型进化上较为保守的植物类群,用核型分析对该属植物属下进行种类鉴定、遗传演化十分困难,即使是属内远缘物种,其核型系统学的意义有限,但在属上的分类级别有较大的参考价值。

湖北3种药用淫羊藿植物等位酶多样性与居群遗传结构

采用超薄平板微型聚丙烯酰胺等电聚焦电泳方法对湖北3种淫羊藿属（Epimedium L．）药用植物：柔毛淫羊藿（E．pubescens Maxim．）、箭叶淫羊藿（Esagittatum（Sieb．＆Zucc．）Maxim．）和巫山淫羊藿（Ewushanense T.S．Ying）的11个自然居群进行了等位酶种内遗传多样性和居群遗传结构以及种间遗传关系的研究。6个酶系统在3种淫羊藿植物中检测到13个酶位点共45个等位基因,分析结果表明：1）3种淫羊藿均具有较高的遗传多样性水平（A=2．6-3．2,P=69．2％-84．6％,Ho=0．274-0．377,HE=0．282-0．369）,远高于多年生草本植物和依靠动物传粉植物的平均水平;2）所有居群都显著偏离Hardy—Weinberg平衡,大多数多态位点固定指数（F）明显偏离于0且正负值各半,暗示该属植物可能具有复杂的繁育系统;3）种内和种间的遗传分化度均较低,分别为GST=0．0246-0．0409和0．0495-0．1213,表明种内居群间存在较高的基因流和种间较近的遗传关系;4）聚类分析表明柔毛淫羊藿与箭叶淫羊藿的亲缘关系更近,这与形态学特征、花瓣演化趋势及系统发育分析等方面的研究的结果相吻合。讨论分析认为3种淫羊藿植物的遗传变异特性是由淫羊藿属植物异交与克隆繁殖的混合繁育系统、多年生的生活特性、古老的进化历史和种子的蚁播特性等多因素共同决定的。

箭叶淫羊藿居群形态及遗传多样性比较研究

箭叶淫羊藿（Epimedium sagittatum）是淫羊藿属中分布最广、形态变异最大、分类学最难处理的一个物种,不同箭叶淫羊藿居群其形态、活性成分等差异较大,质量极其不稳定。本实验选择湖北罗田等12个不同的箭叶淫羊藿地理居群,在武汉植物园进行同园栽培,分析其主要形态数量性状及遗传多样性。结果发现箭叶淫羊藿不同居群在形态上表现出各自明显的差异。基于AFLP数据进行的遗传多样性分析显示,各居群聚类关系与地理分布密切相关,柳州居群（LZ）、西南居群（CL、HH、ZY）、华东华中居群（YT、WN、NF、HS、QZ、SG、LY、LT）依次分出。而形态分层聚类分析显示各居群形态变异复杂,只有部分与遗传多样性有一定的相关性。本研究结果对箭叶淫羊藿分类研究及资源筛选具有重要指导作用。

中国淫羊藿属药用植物花粉特征及其分类学意义

淫羊藿属(Epimedium L.)植物多为常用药材,分类和药材鉴定较为困难。该文采用扫描电镜对中国产淫羊藿属31种药用植物花粉的形态、大小和表面纹饰等进行了比较观察。结果显示:(1)淫羊藿属植物花粉形态多为长球形,少数为球形,大小为(15.5~25.0)×(27.3~48.1)μm,极面观多为三裂圆形,具三孔沟。(2)花粉粒外壁表面纹饰有网状、条网状、条纹状等类型。(3)花粉粒外壁纹饰如网眼的形状、大小和网脊表面特征等在各物种间有一定差异。研究结果为淫羊藿属药材鉴定与植物分类提供了重要的参考。     

淫羊藿属植物种质资源及其园林应用

重点介绍了中国原产的淫羊藿属（Epimedium L．）植物种质资源的观赏特点,并讨论其在园林绿化中的应用前景。作者认为国产淫羊藿属植物种质资源园林应用开发的市场潜力巨大,应将淫羊藿属植物作为新型园林植物大力开发,并通过驯化及各种常规和非常规育种方法,充实淫羊藿属可供观赏的品种资源。     

Karyological studies of some representatives of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tanacetum</Emphasis> L. (Anthemideae-Asteraceae) from north-east Anatolia

The karyotypes of nine Tanacetum taxa distributed in north-east Anatolia, Turkey, were determined and evaluated by cluster analysis and principal-components analysis. Chromosome numbers were 2n = 2x = 18 (8 taxa) and 4x = 36 (1 taxon). Somatic chromosome numbers of two taxa and a new ploidy level in one taxon are reported for the first time. Karyotype analysis indicated that chromosomes of Tanacetum taxa have predominantly median centromeres. The taxa studied differed significantly in the size of the short arms and long arms, and the arm ratio of each pair of homologous chromosomes, indicating structural rearrangements of the chromosomes have been involved in diversification of the taxa. They were placed in 2A, 3A, and 2B of Stebbins’ karyotype classification, showing the presence of a primitive symmetrical karyotype in the genus. Several systematic and evolutionary aspects of the genus are discussed on the basis of karyological data.     

淫羊藿属分类学研究:进展、问题与展望

淫羊藿是我国特有且传统的重要药用植物,逐渐步入大宗品种行列。物种的准确鉴定是药效保障和用药安全的前提,为促进其资源的合理开发和利用,该文对淫羊藿属分类学研究进行系统梳理,并对其中存在的问题及存疑类群进行阐述。淫羊藿属共发表68种,中国58种(85.3%),其中57种为特有分布,具有显著的资源优势。淫羊藿属中国类群的分类学研究较为特殊,共26种集中发表于1990s,共31种(53.4%)为国外研究者命名,且绝大多数依据少量栽培个体命名。由于缺乏广泛的形态调查和性状变异分析,导致大量类群的形态描述不准确或不全面,后续20个类群被归并或降级。依据栽培个体命名的类群是补充描述和分类修订的重点。花色、根茎类型、花茎叶的数量及着生方式等性状在中国类群中存在广泛变异。经分类修订后,该属目前包括46种、1亚种和2变种。淫羊藿属中国组类群仍处于活跃进化中,其形态变异复杂,种间关系无法得到解决,为该属分类的最大挑战。但种质资源的研究和利用需要建立在清晰的分类学基础上。未来研究应基于居群调查,完善各物种的形态描述;在此基础上,整合形态变异特征、地理分布格局和基因序列特征,检测自然种间杂交事件,从而揭示物种的分化和进化历程。     

淫羊藿属植物形态分类性状评述

淫羊藿属是分类学上研究的热点和难点,其类群发表和修订均较频繁。为更清晰掌握淫羊藿属的性状变异,该文在查阅该属研究成果和标本的基础上,结合课题组野外调查和分析,对该属重要性状进行系统梳理。花瓣式样是淫羊藿属分类的最重要依据,但并非绝对稳定,种内花瓣形态可能存在丰富变异。花瓣颜色、花药颜色,甚至花的大小至少在部分类群中不宜作为分类的主要依据。根茎性状在多数类群中不失为一个有用的分类性状,但不能一概而论,应基于广泛调查。多数类群的花茎上叶的类型及小叶存在不同程度的变异,在实际应用中存在一定困难。非腺毛特征十分复杂,不同样本存在不同程度差异,不宜作为物种鉴别的关键依据。淫羊藿属植物栽培后植株普遍更矮小,提示开展自然生境下的调查和形态观测对掌握物种形态特征非常必要。中国淫羊藿属类群仍处于活跃进化中,其形态变异复杂,物种鉴定和资源利用时应足够谨慎。     

Species relationships among the wild B genome of Arachis species (section Arachis) based on FISH mapping of rDNA loci and heterochromatin detection: a new proposal for genome arrangement

Arachis hypogaea is an allotetraploid species with low genetic variability. Its closest relatives, all of the genus Arachis, are important sources of alleles for peanut breeding. However, a better understanding of the genome constitution of the species and of the relationships among taxa is needed for the effective use of the secondary gene pool of Arachis. In the present work, we focused on all 11 non-A genome (or B genome sensu lato) species of Arachis recognized so far. Detailed karyotypes were developed by heterochromatin detection and mapping of the 5S and the 18S–25S rRNA using FISH. On the basis of outstanding differences observed in the karyotype structures, we propose segregating the non-A genome taxa into three genomes: B sensu stricto (s.s.), F and K. The B genome s.s. is deprived of centromeric heterochromatin and is homologous to one of the A. hypogaea complements. The other two genomes have centromeric bands on most of the chromosomes, but differ in the amount and distribution of heterochromatin. This organization is supported by previously published data on molecular markers, cross compatibility assays and bivalent formation at meiosis in interspecific hybrids. The geographic structure of the karyotype variability observed also reflects that each genome group may constitute lineages that have evolved through independent evolutionary pathways. In the present study, we confirmed that Arachis ipaensis was the most probable B genome donor for A. hypogaea, and we identified a group of other closely related species. The data provided here will facilitate the identification of the most suitable species for the development of prebreeding materials for further improvement of cultivated peanut.     

Chromosomal localization of 45S and 5S rDNA in 14 species and the implications for genome evolution of genus Epimedium

Studying the genome structure of Epimedium has been hindered by the large genomes and uniform karyotypes. Consequently our understanding of the genome organization and evolutionary changes of Epimedium is extremely limited. In the present study, the 45S and 5S rDNA loci of 14 Epimedium species were physically mapped by double-probe FISH for the first time. Results showed the following: (1) Chromosomes I and II of all 14 species examined, except for E. shuichengense, hosted one pair of 45S rDNA sites, respectively. Most of the 45S rDNA sites gave clear signals and were positioned in the distal regions of the short arms. (2) All species studied of section Diphyllon were found to have one pair of 5S rDNA sites localized in the interstitial regions of the long arm of chromosome IV, and the two species of section Epimedium, E. alpinum and E. pubigerum, had two pairs of 5S rDNA sites localized in the interstitial regions of the long arm of chromosomes IV and V, respectively. (3) In section Diphyllon, all species of small flower taxa, except E. shuichengense, had three pairs of 45S rDNA sites, clearly more than species of big flower taxa, except E. davidii, with two pairs of 45S rDNA sites. Based on the 45S and 5S rDNA distribution patterns and other chromosomal morphological characteristics, six pairs of chromosomes can be unambiguously identified in all 14 Epimedium species. The stable differentiation in 45S and 5S rDNA FISH patterns between the two sections suggests that chromosomal rearrangements and transpositional events played a role in the splitting of the two sections, and section Diphyllon may be more primitive than section Epimedium. In the same way, big flower taxa may be more primitive than small flower taxa in section Diphyllon.     

Comparison of the Giemsa C-banded and N-banded karyotypes of twoElymus species,E. dentatus andE. glaucescens (Poaceae: Triticeae)

The karyotypes ofElymus dentatus from Kashmir andE. glaucescens from Tierra del Fuego, both carrying genomesS andH, were investigated by C- and N-banding. Both taxa had 2n = 4x = 28. The karyotype ofE. dentatus was symmetrical with large chromosomes. It had 18 metacentric, four submetacentric and six satellited chromosomes. The karyotype ofE. glaucescens resembled that ofE. dentatus, but a satellited chromosome pair was replaced by a morphologically similar, non-satellited pair. The C-banding patterns of both species had from one to five conspicuous and a few inconspicuous bands per chromosome. N-banding differentiated the chromosomes of the constituent genomes by producing bands in theH genome only. TheS genomes of both species were similar with five metacentric and two satellited chromosomes having most conspicuous C-bands at telomeric and distal positions. They resembled theS genome of the genusPseudoroegneria. TheH genomes had four similar metacentric and two submetacentric chromosomes. The seventhH genome chromosome ofE. dentatus was satellited, that ofE. glaucescens nonsatellited, but otherwise morphologically similar. The C-bands were distributed at no preferential positions. TheH genome ofE. dentatus resembles theH genomes of some diploidHordeum taxa.     

Karyotaxonomical analysis in the genusAngelica (Umbelliferae)

Morphometric karyotype characters were studied in 25Angelica spp. (Umbelliferae, Apioideae) and in one species of the related genusTommasinia. For three species the chromosome numbers are new. In our study the majority of the species investigated are diploids with 2n = 22, some are tetraploids with 2n = 44 (for these tetraploids also diploid cytotypes are reported in the literature). Among the diploid species,A. miqueliana has a distinct karyotype consisting of submetacentric and acrocentric chromosomes only, the remaining diploids with 2n = 22 as well as tetraploids with 2n = 44 have rather symmetrical karyotypes, consisting of metacentric and submetacentric chromosomes. The very different chromosome number 2n = 28 has been found inA. gmelinii. Its karyotype includes two distinct groups of chromosomes: 8 pairs of rather large metacentrics and submetacentrics and 6 pairs of very short and asymmetrical chromosomes. Chromosome numbers and structures appear to be useful in the taxonomy of some intrageneric taxa inAngelica.     

KARYOTYPIC VARIATION OF EASTERN NORTH AMERICAN CLAYTONIA CHEMICAL RACES

Considerable karyotypic differentiation has occurred within the group of taxa comprising the eastern North American members of the genus Claytonia. Patterns of karyotypic differentiation are congruent with evolutionary groupings based on flavonoid chemistry, particularly at the diploid level. The 2n = 16 diploid chemotype found in both C. caroliniana and C. virginica possesses a karyotype composed entirely of metacentric chromosomes, while acrocentric chromosomes predominate in the karyotypes of the 2n = 12 and 2n = 14 diploid chemotypes of C. virginica. The 2n = 16 diploid also has a karyotype significantly larger than those of the other diploid cytotypes. Polyploid karyotypes of both species show varying degrees of divergence from their presumed diploid progenitors.     

Reconstruction of ancestral karyotype illuminates chromosome evolution in the genus Cucumis

Karyotype dynamics driven by complex chromosome rearrangements constitute a fundamental issue in evolutionary genetics. The evolutionary events underlying karyotype diversity within plant genera, however, have rarely been reconstructed from a computed ancestral progenitor. Here, we developed a method to rapidly and accurately represent extant karyotypes with the genus, Cucumis, using highly customizable comparative oligo-painting (COP) allowing visualization of fine-scale genome structures of eight Cucumis species from both African-origin and Asian-origin clades. Based on COP data, an evolutionary framework containing a genus-level ancestral karyotype was reconstructed, allowing elucidation of the evolutionary events that account for the origin of these diverse genomes within Cucumis. Our results characterize the cryptic rearrangement hotspots on ancestral chromosomes, and demonstrate that the ancestral Cucumis karyotype (n = 12) evolved to extant Cucumis genomes by hybridizations and frequent lineage- and species-specific genome reshuffling. Relative to the African species, the Asian species, including melon (Cucumis melo, n = 12), Cucumis hystrix (n = 12) and cucumber (Cucumis sativus, n = 7), had highly shuffled genomes caused by large-scale inversions, centromere repositioning and chromothripsis-like rearrangement. The deduced reconstructed ancestral karyotype for the genus allowed us to propose evolutionary trajectories and specific events underlying the origin of these Cucumis species. Our findings highlight that the partitioned evolutionary plasticity of Cucumis karyotype is primarily located in the centromere-proximal regions marked by rearrangement hotspots, which can potentially serve as a reservoir for chromosome evolution due to their fragility.     

Karyotype analysis in Stylidium crossocephalum (Angiospermae:Stylidiaceae)

Qualitative studies of karyotypes were carried out on 79 plants of Stylidium crossocephalum from 28 collection sites. The sample included 7 distinct karyotypic classes which could be resolved into 5 clearly distinguishable haploid karyotypes or genomes. Three genomes, J, K and L, were localised in an area covering a southern portion of the species range while the other two genomes, A and B, were found in a region 90km to the north. Two different genome heterozygotes were found, one characterised by a J/K karyotype, the other by an A/B karyotype. —Karyotypic studies of a synthetic hybrid and its two parents showed that the chromosomes of the constituent genomes of the hybrid could be readily and confidently discerned in the karyotypes of the parents. These studies demonstrated that the identification of genomes by the qualitative attributes of their constituent chromosomes constitutes a reliable analytical technique. — Statistical analyses using arm ratio and percentage length measurements of chromosomes from plants allocated to the two groups of genomes confirmed the differences between marker chromosomes and demonstrated additional statistically significant differences among the non marker chromosomes. Some of these statistical differences may be attributable to technical problems inherent in the karyotyping procedures. In two instances, however, they could be convincingly argued as real, demonstrating a further component of chromosome variation in S. crossocephalum.
