禾本科植物无融合生殖(综述)

禾本科植物包含了世界上最重要的农作物,也包含了最多的无融合生殖的种类,通过无融合生殖可将农作物的F1代杂种优势固定下来,这在固定农作物杂种优势的利用上具有巨大的潜力,然而禾本科植物无融合生殖作为其繁殖多样性的一种形式,在系统进化过程中的作用是非常复杂的,本文统计了禾本科无融合生殖的分布,概述了其无融合生殖的细胞学,遗传学和分子生物学研究进展。     

APOMIXIS IN THE POA SECUNDA COMPLEX

Observation of cleared ovules of Poa secunda Presl showed that plants produce aposporous embryo sacs, and emasculation studies showed that they do not set seed without pollen. The ratio of sexual to asexual embryo sacs on a given plant does not correlate with percent stainable pollen, nor does pollen stainability correlate with meiotic regularity or with chromosome number. Percent apomictic ovules, percent pollen stainability, and regularity of meiosis all vary within a given population; they also vary if the same plant is moved from one site to another. Although there is morphological variation in the species, none of the reproductive features correlates with morphology. Pollen from any morph will stimulate seed set in any other morph, and hybrids have been produced in low frequency. Plants will also set seed using their own pollen. In its reproductive biology, P. secunda exhibits many similarities with P. pratensis L.     

草地早熟禾无融合生殖现象的研究

本文应用石蜡切片和子房整体染色透明法研究了草地早熟禾(Poa pratensisL.)的无融合生殖现象,结果表明,草地早熟禾的胚胎发育分为两种类型。一种是由孤雌生殖形成胚,即卵细胞分裂较早形成幼胚,少数胚囊中的一个或两个助细胞也分裂较早,同时形成幼胚,但两个极核并不融合,三个反足细胞明显增大。由孤雌生殖形成胚的约占观察总数的66%,其中3%为双胚,仅一个是三胚。在成熟种子中也有两个成熟胚并生的现象。另一种是形成胚和胚乳,约占34%。34%中形成种子有两种可能的途径,一是通过有性生殖形成种子,二是由孤雌生殖形成的胚和极核受精形成的胚乳共同组成的无融合生殖种子。本研究还首次观察到早熟禾完整的双胚囊结构。     

"植硅体"含义和禾本科植硅体的分类

针对国内文献中对英文“Phytolith”等词语的中文译名呈多样化现象,建议统一用“植硅体”来涵盖之,其含义包括“Opal phytolith”和“Silica bodies”等,代表一门新兴学科,即植硅体学,已有的禾本科植硅体分类中,不同学者采用了各自不同的分类规则和术语,本文通过分析,对比现有禾本科植硅体不同的分类方案,以期对其分类系统的研究现状和所存在问题提出看法,有利于今后深入研究。     

THE KRANZ SYNDROME IN THE GRAMINEAE AS INDICATED BY CARBON ISOTOPIC RATIOS

The Kranz syndrome, as indicated by relatively high ¹³C/¹²C ratios is characteristic of 16 ½ tribes and about ½ of the species of the Gramineae. Data are given for 198 species from 129 genera and 47 tribes, and from at least 6 subfamilies of grasses. This information is correlated with data from the literature on anatomical and physiological characters of both Kranz and non-Kranz grasses. All subfamilies, tribes, and genera seem to be uniformly all Kranz or non-Kranz except the subfamily Panicoideae and the genus Panicum which have both Kranz and non-Kranz species represented.     

禾本科甘蔗亚族一新属

８０年代初期,我们在云南采到５号标本,解剖观察认为是甘蔗亚族（Ｓａｃｃｈａｒｉｎａｅ）植物。再进一步查对,要把它放入这个亚族中的任何一属均觉不妥。故另立新属与新种。本新属与芒属（Ｍｉｓｃａｎｔｈｕｓ）似有亲缘关系。
