PINUS TRIPHYLLA AND PINUS QUINQUEFOLIA FROM THE UPPER CRETACEOUS OF MASSACHUSETTS

Dwarf shoots and needle leaves of Pinus triphylla Hollick and Jeffrey and P. quinquefolia Hollick and Jeffrey have been discovered recently in a Late Cretaceous age clay deposit on Martha's Vineyard Island, Massachusetts. Detailed study of these fossils provides further information on the internal construction of the two taxa. This new information permits both species to be compared easily with similar fossil forms from the Upper Cretaceous of Japan as well as with dwarf shoots and needles of modern species of Pinus. As a result, the relationships between Cretaceous pines and the extinct genus Prepinus are found to be less than previously believed. Moreover, the dwarf shoots and needles of Cretaceous members of the genus Pinus appear to be most like those of present-day species included in the subgenus Pinus.     

SEASONAL SECONDARY GROWTH IN NEEDLE LEAVES OF PINUS STROBUS AND PINUS BRUTIA

Mature needles and elongating current year's needles of Pinus strobus growing in Massachusetts and P. brutia growing in Israel were collected monthly or bimonthly for seasonal analysis of leaf cambial activity. Mature needles produced secondary phloem but no xylem, and, regardless of the season, had a cambial zone from 2 to 3 cell layers wide. In the current year's needles maturation was basipetal and the procambium differentiated into primary xylem, primary phloem, and the phloem-producing vascular cambium before needle maturity. One- and 2-year-old needles of Pinus strobus produced slightly over 4 cell layers of phloem between April 15 and September 1 of 1983, with a peak production rate of about 2 cell layers per month in May and early June. One-year-old needles of P. brutia produced about 6 phloem cell layers in 1983, with phloem being produced throughout the year except in midsummer. This was contrasted by fall and winter dormancy in needles of P. strobus.

STRUCTURE AND ONTOGENY OF THE STOMATAL COMPLEX IN PINUS STROBUS L. AND PINUS BANKSIANA LAMB.

The morphology of the stomatal complex in Pinus strobus L. and P. banksiana Lamb, is described and it is proposed that the stomatal complex should be considered an eight-celled complex consisting of two guard cells, and two polar, two lateral, and two hypodermal subsidiary cells. An ontogenetic study found these cells closely related developmentally. It was also found that the stomatal complex in these two pines could not readily be classified as haplocheilic because a polar subsidiary cell arises from the same protodermal cell as does the guard cell mother cell. A modification of the classical concept of stomatal development was necessary to describe the stomata as eumesoperigenous.     

MEIOTIC IRREGULARITY IN SPECIES AND INTERSPECIFIC HYBRIDS OF PINUS

This paper describes a comparative analysis of meiotic conditions in 61 individual trees representing 21 species and 22 interspecific hybrid combinations of the genus Pinus. Material was collected during three successive growing seasons at the Eddy Arboretum of the Institute of Forest Genetics at Placerville, California. Meiotic irregularity occurred in all species and hybrids examined; mean irregularity frequencies of individual trees ranged from 0 to 47.2 percent. Abnormalities in chromosome movement and their consequences, (1) precocious disjunction associated with the occurrence of univalents and (2) the failure of chiasma terminalization leading to lagging chromosomes and to chromosome breakage and fragments, account for most of the observed irregularity. The same kinds of irregularity occur both in the species and in the hybrids, but they were considerably more frequent in certain of the hybrids than in the related species. These abnormalities in chromosome movement seem to be characteristic of Pinus and are attributed primarily to rrechanical difficulties which attend the large pine chromosomes in meiosis. The most spectacular meiotic irregularities were the characteristic bridge-fragment configurations considered to be the result of crossing-over in heterozygous paracentric inversions. Inversion bridges were observed in 59 of the 61 trees and were as frequent in the species as in the hybrids. They apparently do not result from interspecific differentiation in chromosome structure but from spontaneous intra-specific rearrangements. The literature and work now in progress provide increasing evidence that introgression has been an important factor in the evolution of pine populations. The cytological study of pine chromosomes has failed to produce qualitative evidence of introgression, but the quantitative measurement of meiotic irregularity may serve as a useful criterion for recognizing the results of past hybridization.     

高山松种实性状与生殖适应性

高山松(Pinus densata)是云南松(P. yunnanensis)与油松(P. tabulaeformis)自然杂交产生的二倍体杂种,是植物同倍体杂交物种形成的典型案例。高山松分布于青藏高原东南缘,占据了两个亲本种都不能正常生长的高海拔地带。良好生殖适应性的产生是物种形成的关键,但对高山松在高海拔生境下生殖适应性的变异与杂交起源遗传背景关系的研究尚未见报道。该研究通过对来自该种分布区内6个代表居群样本、13个反映高山松生殖适应性的种实性状的分析,探讨了其生殖性状在居群水平的变异模式,揭示了具有不同遗传组成和起源历史的高山松居群的生殖特性。研究结果表明:6个研究居群在种实性状上存在显著差异;可育种鳞数、总种鳞数、总种子数、可育种鳞率和可育种鳞密度等与纬度呈显著负相关关系;球果结种率与经度和生态梯度值呈显著的正相关关系;胚珠败育率则与经度和生态梯度值呈显著的负相关关系;球果长度也呈现了与经度的显著负相关。高山松球果结种率很高,平均为74%;球果的结种数、种子长和种翅长与云南松、油松及其它松属双维管亚属多数种接近;球果长度、球果总种鳞数接近油松的报道。这些结果表明,高山松在亲本种不能正常生长、繁衍的高原环境下具备正常的生殖能力;其种实特征在居群间分化显著并呈现一定的地理梯度变化。居群间的显著差异反映了其杂种起源特性,与高山松居群的遗传背景有关,也反映了处在异质生态环境中的高山松居群具有各自的生殖生态进化趋向。     

ASSOCIATION OF THE ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM AND THE PLASTIDS IN ACER AND PINUS

A close sheathing of the plastids by endoplasmic reticulum has been observed. This is restricted to the companion cells and developing sieve tubes of the phloem of Acer pseudoplatanus and the resin canal cells and leaf callus cells from Pinus pinea. The sheathing is transitory in callus and sieve tubes but is a permanent feature of the companion and the resin canal cells. Possible functional relationships between the two organelles are discussed.

云南松雌雄配子体的发育

云南松(Pinus yunnanensis Fr.)雄配子体于10月在小孢子叶腹面产生二个小孢子囊,内有许多进行分裂的造孢组织细胞。第二年一月下旬至二月初小孢子母细胞进行减数分裂。在分裂期间,细胞内所贮存的淀粉粒的分布发生变化。二月初四分体小孢子形成,绒毡层细胞解体。二日中旬单核花粉粒形成,外壁扩展形成二个异极对称的气囊。三月花粉在四细胞时期散发。 雌配子体于二月上旬在珠心皮下分化出孢原细胞。二月下旬大孢子母细胞进入减数分裂期。三月初直列四分体大孢子形成,珠孔端三个退化,合点端一个功能大孢子进入有丝分裂期,形成约32个游离核的配子体。次年三月初雌配子体形成,四月初中央细胞核分裂,四月底颈卵器成熟,卵核周围产生辐射状原生质纤丝。五月初受精开始。云南松雌雄配子体的发育与亚热带分布的P.roburghii相似。     

THE PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE DEVELOPING EMBRYO OF PINUS RESINOSA

The relationship between changes in soluble protein, hexose sugar, total lipid concentration, and osmotic potential occurring in gametophytic supernatant of Pinus resinosa Ait. during in vivo embryogenesis was measured. The effects of varying sucrose levels of culture medium on in vitro embryo and gametophyte development were examined. Increases in embryo volume, and fresh and dry weight of the female gametophyte during in vivo embryogenesis coincide with increasing levels of soluble protein, hexose sugar, and total lipid in the gametophytic supernatant. In contrast, osmotic potential of the supernatant increased only slightly between the zygote and proembryo stages of embryo development, and remained constant thereafter. Gametophytes plus embryos grown in vitro achieved dry weights approaching those of in ovulo gametophytes on media containing levels of sucrose up to 21%. Gametophytes on media with sucrose concentrations up to 21% also resembled normal in ovulo gametophytes in appearance. However, embryo development appeared to be suspended on treatment media containing from 9% to 21% sucrose, while embryos degenerated on media with constant sucrose levels of 3% and 6%. A treatment medium containing approximately 12% sucrose would provide an osmotic environment that duplicates that found in ovulo. While greater sucrose levels promoted more normal gametophyte development in Pinus resinosa, we failed to achieve complete development of the embryo in vitro. Conclusions and implications drawn from these results are discussed.     

DEVELOPMENT OF VACUOLES AND LIPID BODIES IN APICAL MERISTEMS OF PINUS BANKSIANA

Shoot apical meristems of jack pine were examined weekly during the first 8 weeks post-germination with light and electron microscopy. Most of the storage lipids were utilized by the end of the 2nd week. A few lipid bodies, possibly high in phospholipid content, remained in the apical initials and central mother cells and, during the 3rd week, gave rise to vacuoles via lamellar or myelin-like structures which were first seen on their periphery. The inter-lamellar spaces enlarged and eventually a vacuole was formed. At 5 weeks, elongate and spherical osmiophilic inclusions, presumably lipid, were found in the endoplasmic reticulum. Lipid bodies, visible with light microscopy, began to accumulate in the apical initials and central mother cells in the 6th week.

马尾松花粉中的淀粉粒和胼胝质

本文描述了马尾松花粉形成和发育期中淀粉粒的分布和胼胝质的沉积。前期Ⅰ,淀粉粒分布在母细胞质内的周围。中期Ⅰ之后,淀粉粒逐渐呈现赤道聚集。花粉进行第三次分裂前无淀粉粒积累,营养细胞和生殖细胞形成后,仅营养细胞可迅速地积累大量的淀粉粒。前期Ⅰ,胼胝质首先在母细胞壁和质膜之间出现,此后在母细胞中部和两侧产生一个环形和两个半圆形的胼胝质。花粉发育期中值得注意的是:花粉即将进行第一次分裂之前,花粉质膜以内完全被胼胝质封闭,然后位于萌发沟处的胼胝质消失后才能进行分裂。初生原叶细胞和生殖细胞具有明显的胼胝质壁将其封闭,但原叶细胞被封闭的时间长     

马尾松和黄山松疱锈病病原及转主的研究

<正> 马尾松(Pinus massoniana Lamb.)和黄山松(P.hwangshanensis Hsia)疱锈病是皖西大别山区二针松枝干上的重要病害。早在五十年代末期就已于黄山地区的马尾松幼林内发现,近十年来又先后在霍山、金寨、岳西、太湖等县的马尾松和黄山松幼林中连续发生。发病率一般为5%左右,最高的达30%以上。有些受害严重的幼林,不得不全部伐除,并更换其他造林树种,因此给林业生产酿成了很大的损失。作者自1988—1990年在金寨、岳西等县对上述疱锈病病原及转主寄主进行了调查研究,现将     

STRUCTURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE SIEVE-ELEMENT PROTOPLAST IN THE HYPOCOTYL OF PINUS RESINOSA

Hypocotyl tissue of Pinus resinosa Ait. was fixed in glutaraldehyde-paraformaldehyde and postfixed in osmium tetroxide for electron microscopy. Although young sieve cells contain all the components characteristic of young, nucleate cells, they can be identified early in their development. Increase in wall thickness occurs early and rapidly. Concurrently, the plastids, which already contain starch granules, form both crystalline and fibrillar inclusions. As the sieve cell approaches maturity, an extensive network of smooth, tubular endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which becomes mostly parietal in distribution, is formed. At maturity, massive aggregates of this ER occur on both sides of sieve areas. These ER aggregates are interconnected with one another longitudinally by the parietal ER. In addition, the mature, plasmalemma-lined sieve cell contains a degenerate nucleus, mitochondria, and intact plastids. Dictyosomes, ribosomes, and vacuolar membranes are lacking. P-protein is not present at any stage of development.
