位置效应对巫山淫羊藿花蜜分泌和结实的影响

位置效应在开花植物中广泛存在。以野生巫山淫羊藿种群为研究对象,运用单因素方差分析法,研究位置效应对结实性和花蜜分泌的影响。结果表明:三个巫山淫羊藿种群不同位置的结实率显著差异,其中基部的结实率明显大于中部和顶部; 位置效应对果实重量及果实长、宽的影响均显著,表现出基部>中部>顶部的趋势; 总状花序上不同开花位置对单个果实种子数的影响显著,且基部大于顶部。但位置效应对单个果实种子败育率的影响不显著,均值呈现顶部>中部>基部变化规律; 巫山淫羊藿不同开花位置的花蜜常备量和含糖量的差异显著。三个种群基部的花蜜常备量较高,而花蜜含糖量在顶部较高。因此,对巫山淫羊藿野生种群进行研究与保护时应注意位置效应对生殖成功的影响,选择基部果实进行试验或育种,应维持种群多样性及稳定性。     

开花时间对巫山淫羊藿花蜜分泌和结实的影响

运用单因素方差分析研究了巫山淫羊藿(Epimedium wushanense)开花时间对花蜜分泌、有效传粉者活动及结实性的影响.结果表明:(1)开花时间对巫山淫羊藿花蜜常备量和含糖量的影响极其显著.3个种群早期花蜜常备量较高,而花蜜含糖量在晚期较高.(2)开花时间对有效传粉者行为也具显著影响.一天中,有效传粉者的访花活动主要集中在中午;在整个花期进程中,晚期有效访花频率明显大于早期.(3)开花时间对巫山淫羊藿结实率、果实种子数及果实种子败育率的影响均显著,其中早期和中期的结实率和果实种子数大于晚期;而果实种子败育率则在晚期较高.因此,人工栽培巫山淫羊藿应注意花期调控,并选择早期果实进行实验或育种,其效果更好.     

基于同质园栽培的21种淫羊藿属植物花部特征的分类学意义

以采自中国多地并同质园栽培于吉首大学种质资源圃的21种淫羊藿为研究材料,通过观测这些物种的花梗长、花直径、内萼片长宽、蜜距长、雌雄蕊长、花药长、花柱长、胚珠数、花粉大小及花粉量等16个花部特征数量性状和花序类型、有无蜜距、花瓣颜色、内萼片颜色、内萼片与花瓣相对长度及花粉颜色6个质量性状,并对其分类学意义进行探讨。结果表明,(1)21种淫羊藿内轮萼片花瓣状,4枚花瓣除无距淫羊藿外均特化成蜜距,但花部形态种间存在显著差异,尤其体现于花直径、内萼片长宽、蜜距长、雌蕊长、胚珠数、花粉量、花粉直径等特征。(2)主成分分析显示花直径、内萼片长、花药长、胚珠数和花粉直径等性状信息负荷量较大,在该属分类中起主要作用。(3)根据花部特征聚类分析,物种间区分良好,21物种可分为4支:第1支花小,花瓣短于内轮萼片,囊状距或兜状距;第2支花较大,花瓣远长于内轮萼片,长距状;第3支花小,花瓣没有特化形成蜜距;第4支花较小,花丝伸长明显,可达10 mm,花蜜距呈钻状。(4)依据所观察到的花部形态特征编写了淫羊藿属21种植物花部特征分种检索表。研究认为,基于同质园栽培下的淫羊藿属物种的花部特征具有分类学意义,可以为该属分类提供一定依据。     

不同生境与花部特征对巫山淫羊藿结实特性的影响

对不同生境中巫山淫羊藿结实特性进行比较研究。结果表明:(1)三个种群在繁殖时期中不同花部特征的植株繁殖投资差异不大,如每株分枝数、每株花序数和每株开花数差异均不显著;(2)三个种群中每株结实数、每株结实率、每花序结实数在不同花部特征中差异显著,PLS和SAA要显著大于PESS;(3)三种花部特征在不同生境中单株分枝数和单株花序数均无显著差异。在不同花部特征中种群1开花数量相较少,因而在结实方面均值均要小于种群2和种群3;(4)不同花部特征的果实饱满种子数、败育数和败育率均具有显著差异,而种子数差异不大,但在种群间均无显著的差异。说明种子的多少更多地受到花部特征的影响。总之,巫山淫羊藿的结实特性受到生境和花部特征的双重影响,其中花型比生境对巫山淫羊藿结实特性的影响更为明显。     

巫山淫羊藿开花物候与生殖特征

研究巫山淫羊藿(Epimedium wushanense)3个种群的开花物候进程和生殖特征,分析了不同种群中的花部特征、开花物候指数和结实率差异,以及开花物候指数对巫山淫羊藿生殖成功的影响。结果表明:巫山淫羊藿花期为3月初到4月中下旬,种群开花一般历时22～27d;单株花期(花序)约12～17d;单花花期一般为3～4d。3个种群的个体水平的开花振幅曲线呈单峰型曲线,均具有较高的开花同步指数,表现出一种集中开花式样。相关分析表明:坐果数与开花高峰期、终花期、花期持续时间和花蕾数均呈极显著正相关,但坐果数与始花期无相关关系。开花物候变异系数分析表明:3个种群中花期持续时间、单花持续时间、终花期、开花高峰期和坐果数差异极显著;总花数、开花振幅和结实率差异显著;开花同步指数和始花期无显著差异性。3个种群中除同步性指数外,其余指数的变异系数均有差异,此外,巫山淫羊藿中结实率受到距的长短的影响。表明巫山淫羊藿的开花物候和生殖特征受到微环境的影响,同时生殖特征还受到花部特征距的影响。     

中国淫羊藿属(小檗科)二新种

报道了中国小檗科Berberidaceae淫羊藿属Epimedium两个新种,拟巫山淫羊藿Epimedium pseudowushanense B.L.Guo和青城山淫羊藿E.qingchengshanense G.Y.Zhong ＆ B.L.Guo。拟巫山淫羊藿产于贵州黔东南州和广西北部,一直因小叶片相似被误定为巫山淫羊藿Epimedium wushanense T.S.Ying,但二者花的结构极其不同。拟巫山淫羊藿以花瓣距细和瓣片有皱褶而与产于湖北的直距淫羊藿E.mikinorii Stearn相类似,但距较短,长仅10–15mm,瓣片小,小叶片狭卵形至披针形,叶背面被稀疏的白色长毛,具白粉,花瓣紫红色或紫色,内轮萼片宽卵形或卵形,可以区别。青城山淫羊藿局限分布于四川都江堰市青城山后山,该种为淫羊藿属雄蕊显著伸长的种类,与川鄂淫羊藿E.fargesii Franch.相似,但花各部较川鄂淫羊藿为小,花瓣瓣片大而圆,不裂,花丝紫色可以区别。     

淫羊藿种子产量与生境的关系

以四川省南充市金城山的淫羊藿为研究对象,对小檗科淫羊藿产果数量,种子生产和种子质量与生境的关系进行了研究。研究表明:不同生境的淫羊藿植株高度和花序长度不同,单株结果率也不同,单果产种量差异较小,出种量一般在1~8粒之间,但每个生境单果主要出种量不同。对千粒重和不同果枝结果率单因素方差分析表明,不同生境的淫羊藿种子千粒重有显著差异,不同生境的淫羊藿植株的主次果枝结果率也有显著差异。不同生境中的淫羊藿果实的虫食率也不同。淫羊藿种子的低种子数,小粒种子,而不同生境的结实率虽有差异,但是总体偏低,是导致淫羊藿种子难以收集的主要内因,也导致种群受干扰后不易恢复。     

不同大花类群淫羊藿属植物的花部特征及生殖特征研究

淫羊藿是我国重要的草本植物,在中药、功能性食品和园林观赏等领域都具有重要用途,受地域差异性影响,淫羊藿属植物的植株形态、花部特征、开花物候和生殖特征各不相同。本研究对四川不同产地野生种群大花类淫羊藿（巫山淫羊藿、粗毛淫羊藿和宝兴淫羊藿）的开花动态、花部特征、访花昆虫与繁殖系统进行了对比研究。结果表明：（1）3种淫羊藿属植物的开花期较为集中,巫山淫羊藿和粗毛淫羊藿的花期为3月下旬～4月下旬,单花花期均为3～4 d;宝兴淫羊藿的花期为4月中旬～5月中旬,单花花期5～6 d;（2）膜翅目和双翅目昆虫为3种淫羊藿属植物的有效访花者,有效访花者访花特性与花部特征之间具有明显的相关性;（3）3种淫羊藿属植物的花序、花和果实的数量受所处环境影响较大,自然结实率：巫山淫羊藿>宝兴淫羊藿>粗毛淫羊藿;温度和光照是最主要的影响因子。     

紫距淫羊藿的形态变异式样及描述修订

紫距淫羊藿为根据少量栽培个体描述的中国特有种,狭域分布于湖南省天平山,自发表以来未见后续形态学研究。为了掌握紫距淫羊藿形态变异式样并为该物种及其近缘种的分类提供依据,该研究在模式产地湖南省桑植县天平山,于花果期开展野外居群的形态观测,对紫距淫羊藿主要性状进行变异分析以及形态描述的完善或修订,并提供了该物种的形态图片资料。结果表明:基于野外观测,紫距淫羊藿主要形态性状的变异范围均远超出物种发表原始文献的描述,如株高12.0～68.0 cm,大幅度高于原始描述的12cm;居群内结节状根茎和细长根茎并存,且两种类型的个体数量相当;其余性状,如叶长、叶宽、花序轴长、花色等都呈现丰富变异。此外,还补充描述了紫距淫羊藿的果实和种子的性状,蓇葖果长8～13 mm,内含种子2～11粒,种子具油质体。因此,分类学描述应重视野外观察,特别要注意个体间的变异并进行性状分析,这是分类研究的基础。     

盐胁迫对两种淫羊藿属植物生长及各器官总黄酮含量的影响

采用不同浓度NaCl(0、100、200、300和500 mmol/L)的Hoagland's培养液处理两种淫羊藿属植物--淫羊藿、箭叶淫羊藿幼苗,处理30 d后分别测定其株高、叶表面积、干物质生物量以及根、茎、叶的总黄酮含量,以明确淫羊藿属两种药用植物的抗盐特性.结果显示:(1)盐胁迫对淫羊藿和箭叶淫羊藿的生长均有影响,随着NaCl处理浓度的增加,淫羊藿、箭叶淫羊藿的株高和叶表面积均逐渐显著减小;各器官干物质生物量逐渐降低,但淫羊藿的干物质下降量较小(不显著),且同一处理下淫羊藿的生物量明显小于箭叶淫羊藿.(2)随着NaCl胁迫浓度的增加,除淫羊藿茎的总黄酮含量一直呈下降趋势外,淫羊藿根、叶和箭叶淫羊藿根、茎、叶均呈现在低浓度范围内总黄酮含量增加,且箭叶淫羊藿的含量高于淫羊藿;而在高浓度盐胁迫下,其总黄酮含量均呈下降的趋势,且淫羊藿的含量高于箭叶淫羊藿.研究表明,淫羊藿的抗盐性明显高于箭叶淫羊藿,适于高盐土壤环境种植,但在低盐环境条件下,种植箭叶淫羊藿可显著提高总黄酮产量并提高经济效益.     

Different effects of sphingid and noctuid moths on the fecundity ofPlatanthera metabifolia (Orchidaceae) in Hokkaido

The fecundity ofPlatanthera metabifolia was investigated in relation to different types of behavior and morphology in both noctuid and sphingid pollinator moths. Low capsule set in the native habitats resulted from low activity of pollinating moths. From different patterns of capsule formation on spikes, pollinated spikes could be classified into sphingid-pollinated and noctuid-pollinated types. The contributions of sphingids to capsule set were nearly constant at the three study sites. High percentage capsule set at one site was linked with high noctuid activity. Different preferences of sphingids and noctuids as to spike features were detected: sphingids selected spikes with large numbers of flowers in early stages of flowering. Flowers with different spur length were equally pollinated by sphingids. On the other hand, noctuids selected spikes with short and medium-sized spurs in the late stage of flowering. The size and density of spikes scarcely affected the pollination activity of noctuids. Selection pressure upon spike size and spur length in relation to sphingid pollination was suggested. The possibility of local differentiation in spur length due to activity of noctuids was discussed.     

超高产杂交水稻皮秒分辨荧光特性

采用时间分辨荧光光谱测试系统,研究了超高产杂交水稻(Oryza sativa L.)两优培九(P9)和对照汕优63(SH 63)类囊体膜的荧光光谱特性和时间特性.以脉宽为120 ps,重复率为4MHz,波长为514 nm的Ar+激光分别激发P9和SH 63水稻类囊体膜荧光.通过对其超快荧光的时间特性和光谱特性比较研究发现:无论是在灌浆期还是在扬花期,P9水稻类囊体膜中光系统I激发能传递的速度比光系统Ⅱ的快;P9和SH 63两种水稻类囊体膜在灌浆期的激发能传递速度都比扬花期的快;两种水稻类囊体膜的光谱特性还给出,在从扬花期到灌浆期这一生长发育过程中,SH 63水稻类囊体膜的色素成分和结合状态发生了变化,而P9却没有出现这种变化.     

蕾期干旱胁迫对百合切花品质的影响

以东方百合品种‘Sorbonne’为材料,在滇中气候条件下研究蕾期不同程度干旱对百合叶片生理生化指标和复水后切花质量的影响.结果表明: 随着干旱时间的延长,百合叶片的相对含水量和叶绿素含量大幅下降,气孔密度、丙二醛(MDA)和脯氨酸含量均上升.轻度干旱下,MDA含量上升缓慢,中度干旱后期上升较快,重度干旱使质膜受到的损害加重,最终影响MDA的合成.脯氨酸在轻度干旱早期变化微小,至重度干旱时增幅骤然加大,说明其对水分亏缺的敏感性较MDA低.复水至开花期,蕾期干旱对植株花期性状的影响表现为: 新梢生长量、株高、花径、花瓣长、宽和花色素含量均与对照差异显著,各性状指标与植株经历的干旱胁迫时间呈反比,即蕾期干旱时间越长,切花植株越矮,花朵越小,花色越浅.7个处理间花期叶部形态(长和宽)变化不显著.蕾期干旱使花朵开放时间延后,经历中、重度干旱的植株复水后花枝质量无法恢复到正常水平.综上,早期轻度干旱对百合切花质量影响较小,尚未造成花枝等级降低,中、重度干旱使切花质量严重下降,失去商品价值.     

Stomatal Conductance, Photosynthetic Rate, and Pigment Content in Ruellia Tuberosa Leaves as Affected by Coal-Smoke Pollution

Study of the effects of air pollution caused by thermal power plant emissions on some foliar traits of Ruellia tuberosa L. has shown that length and width of stomata, length of stomatal pore, stomatal density, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and chlerophyll content were reduced in the polluted plants in pre-flowering, flowering as well as post-flowering phases of plant growth. Intercellular carbon dioxide concentration in the palisade tissue was increased at each stage of plant development. Stomatal index remained almost unchanged at the polluted site, except on the adaxial surface during the preflowering stage where it was higher as compared to the non-polluted plants.     

松嫩平原碱化草甸星星草种群分蘖株延长生殖生长的表型可塑性调节

在松嫩平原碱化草甸,采用大样本随机取样的方法,研究了不同时间到达抽穗初期、抽穗期、开花期和乳熟期的星星草种群生殖分蘖株数量性状的可塑性及其调节规律.结果表明：除在开花期存在一定的波动外,在每5 d的时间里,随着生殖生长时间的延长, 星星草种群在抽穗初期、抽穗期和乳熟期的生殖分蘖株高、分蘖株生物量、花序长和花序生物量均依次显著增加.各生育期的星星草种群生殖分蘖株高与花序生物量呈显著正相关,而与生殖分配呈显著负相关.随着生殖生长时间的延长,抽穗初期、开花期和乳熟期的星星草花序生物量随着分蘖株高增加,其幂函数的增长速率均呈增大趋势.生殖生长时间延长10 d,其抽穗初期和抽穗期的生殖分配直线下降速率分别降低了43.2%和44.31%;延长5 d,乳熟期的下降速率降低了130%.表明星星草种群分蘖株生殖生长的表型可塑性调节遵循着一定的规律.

A change in climate causes rapid evolution of multiple life-history traits and their interactions in an annual plant

Climate change is likely to spur rapid evolution, potentially altering integrated suites of life-history traits. We examined evolutionary change in multiple life-history traits of the annual plant Brassica rapa collected before and after a recent 5-year drought in southern California. We used a direct approach to examining evolutionary change by comparing ancestors and descendants. Collections were made from two populations varying in average soil moisture levels, and lines propagated from the collected seeds were grown in a greenhouse and experimentally subjected to conditions simulating either drought (short growing season) or high precipitation (long growing season) years. Comparing ancestors and descendants, we found that the drought caused many changes in life-history traits, including a shift to earlier flowering, longer duration of flowering, reduced peak flowering and greater skew of the flowering schedule. Descendants had thinner stems and fewer leaf nodes at the time of flowering than ancestors, indicating that the drought selected for plants that flowered at a smaller size and earlier ontogenetic stage rather than selecting for plants to develop more rapidly. Thus, there was not evidence for absolute developmental constraints to flowering time evolution. Common principal component analyses showed substantial differences in the matrix of trait covariances both between short and long growing season treatments and between populations. Although the covariances matrices were generally similar between ancestors and descendants, there was evidence for complex evolutionary changes in the relationships among the traits, and these changes depended on the population and treatment. These results show that a full appreciation of the impacts of global change on phenotypic evolution will entail an understanding of how changes in climatic conditions affect trait values and the structure of relationships among traits.     

Divergent selection on flowering phenology but not on floral morphology between two closely related orchids

Closely related species often differ in traits that influence reproductive success, suggesting that divergent selection on such traits contribute to the maintenance of species boundaries. Gymnadenia conopsea ss. and Gymnadenia densiflora are two closely related, perennial orchid species that differ in (a) floral traits important for pollination, including flowering phenology, floral display, and spur length, and (b) dominant pollinators. If plant–pollinator interactions contribute to the maintenance of trait differences between these two taxa, we expect current divergent selection on flowering phenology and floral morphology between the two species. We quantified phenotypic selection via female fitness in one year on flowering start, three floral display traits (plant height, number of flowers, and corolla size) and spur length, in six populations of G. conopsea s.s. and in four populations of G. densiflora. There was indication of divergent selection on flowering start in the expected direction, with selection for earlier flowering in two populations of the early‐flowering G. conopsea s.s. and for later flowering in one population of the late‐flowering G. densiflora. No divergent selection on floral morphology was detected, and there was no significant stabilizing selection on any trait in the two species. The results suggest ongoing adaptive differentiation of flowering phenology, strengthening this premating reproductive barrier between the two species. Synthesis: This study is among the first to test whether divergent selection on floral traits contribute to the maintenance of species differences between closely related plants. Phenological isolation confers a substantial potential for reproductive isolation, and divergent selection on flowering time can thus greatly influence reproductive isolation and adaptive differentiation.

大豆开花基因GmCO和GmFT的克隆及表达

为了研究大豆光周期反应是否受开花基因CO(CONSTANS)和FT(FLOWERING LOCUS T)调控,采用同源序列法从大豆中分离了CO和FT的同源物GmCO和GmFT.GmCO和GmFT分别编码151和109个氨基酸,与水稻和拟南芥中相关蛋白的氨基酸序列同源性达到70%以上.通过RT-PCR分析GmCO和GmFT在短日照(short daylength,SD)、自然光照(natural light,NL)和长日照(long daylength,LD)处理大豆不同发育阶段叶片中的表达发现,GmCO在LD处理大豆早期发育的叶片中高丰度表达,GmFT在SD和NL处理大豆开花时期的叶片中高丰度表达.上述结果表明,GmCO和GmFT的表达与大豆开花时间及光照长度密切相关,且GmCO抑制GmFT的表达.
