通过石蜡切片法制片,光学显微镜观察,Motic显微摄像,研究了香果树（Emmenopterys henryi Oliv.）的叶形态解剖结构。结果表明,香果树叶为典型异面叶;表皮由一层紧密的形状不规则的表皮细胞组成,细胞外壁角质膜较薄;气孔类型为平列型,仅分布于下表皮;下表皮上零星分布着多细胞表皮毛;叶肉组织发达,栅栏组织由1~2层排列整齐的圆柱形细胞构成;海绵组织枝状分布,排列极为疏松,细胞间隙大;叶脉主脉发达;上述特征反映出植物结构与环境的统一性。     

不同光环境下枫香幼苗的叶片解剖结构

落叶阔叶树种枫香是常绿阔叶林的优势种之一。对比研究了重庆丰都世坪林场不同光环境下枫香幼苗叶片的解剖特征,结果表明:1)旷地枫香叶片的厚度大,气孔个体较大且排列紧密,栅栏组织发达,具有明显的旱生叶特征;而林下的枫香叶片明显变薄,气孔小且排列稀疏,海绵组织发达,具有一定的阴生叶特征;2)不同光环境下,气孔密度、栅栏组织的厚度和层数、栅栏细胞长度以及栅栏组织与海绵组织厚度比(P/S)等具有较高的可塑性,表明这些因素对于枫香适应不同光环境具有较大的作用;3)从叶片解剖特征与功能的统一来看,阳性树种枫香幼苗更适合生长在旷地等高光生境中,而不易生长在郁闭的林下;4)落叶阔叶树种在中亚热带常绿阔叶林群落恢复与演替中具有重要作用。     

新疆野苹果不同地理分布与树龄的叶片解剖结构特征

以新疆野苹果为材料,对不同居群及不同树龄叶片解剖结构特征进行了分析研究。结果表明：新疆野苹果叶片属于异面叶,由上表皮、栅栏组织、叶脉、海绵组织和下表皮组成;不同居群新疆野苹果叶片厚度及细胞排列方式有差异,巩留、额敏及托里的野苹果栅栏组织增厚,且栅栏组织/海绵组织比值增大;新源的野苹果叶片及栅栏组织较薄,栅栏组织/海绵组织比值偏低;不同树龄新疆野苹果叶片厚度随着树龄的增大而呈变薄的趋势,多年生野苹果及野苹果“树王”栅栏组织及海绵组织层数最少,厚度较薄。这些结果暗示新疆野苹果通过各部分结构的协调生长来保证光合作用效率,以适应不同的生长环境以及处于不同发育时期的生长状况。本研究为新疆野苹果原位保护、保育提供了实验依据。

Leaf anatomical studies of Eugenia L. (Myrtaceae) species from the Malay Peninsula

KHATIJAH, H. H., CUTLER, D. F. & MOORE, D. M., 1992. Leaf anatomical studies of Eugenia L. species from the Malay Peninsula. The leaf and petiole anatomy of 25 Malaysian species of Eugenia L. sensu lato was investigated to determine the value of vegetative anatomy for the identification of non-flowering material. Twelve characters proved useful for the identification of species: type of stomata; shape of leaves in T.S.; shape of midrib bundle; sclerenchyma sheath; cutinization of outer epidermal wall; presence or absence of sclereids, idioblasts, hypodermis, columnar epidermal cells, solitary crystals; number of palisade layers and the shape of vascular strand, sclerenchyma sheath and sclereids in the parenchyma of the petiole. Using these characters an anatomical key was constructed to assist identification of the species. Only the closely related species E. stapfiana and E. nilidula could not be separated on anatomical characters.
The anatomical data support the treatment of Henderson (1949) of section Acmena but not of sections Cleistocalyx and Fissicalyx , which fit better in section Syzygium.     

Comparative leaf anatomy of New Zealand and Tasmanian Inuleae (Compositae)

Leaf anatomy is compared for 47 taxa of the tribe Inuleae (Compositae) from New Zealand and Tasmania. The taxa are tabulated according to their lamina structure. Noteworthy anatomical features are lamina type and grade of differentiation, stomatal position, epidermis and cuticle thickness, shape of palisade cells, number of bundle-sheath layers; presence or absence of sclerenchyma caps, water storage cells, secretory canals, abaxial collenchyma and protruding midrib. It is shown that leaf anatomy data provide characters which are taxonomically useful in classification of Inuleae.

Ultrastructural characterization of exocytotic release sites in different layers of the median eminence of the rat

Summary The release of neuronal secretory products by exocytosis in different layers of the median eminence of the rat was investigated ultrastructurally after perfusion with Ringer solution containing tannic acid. Exocytotic images were observed in all layers studied. Neurohaemal release sites were found in the pars externa of the palisade layer, where they occurred not only against the basal lamina of the pericapillary space, but also opposite, adjacent to neuronal and glial elements. In the lateral portion of the pars externa of the palisade layer most release sites were separated from the pericapillary space or the pial surface by ependymal or glial processes. In the pars interna of the palisade layer, and in the reticular, fibre and subependymal layers, release was observed in different types of axonal processes without morphological synaptic specializations. We suggest that products released in the pars externa of the palisade layer are destined to reach the capillaries of the primary portal plexus. Although the non-vascular release sites may serve a similar hormonal function, they may alternatively represent the morphological correlate of axoaxonal contacts or of paracrine, non-synaptic release sites.     

Leaf anatomical studies of Chamaecrista subsect. Baseophyllum (Leguminosae, Caesalpinioideae): new evidence for the up-ranking of the varieties to the species level

This study aims to determine whether morphoanatomical characters of the leaves of the species of Chamaecrista sect. Absus subsection Baseophyllum could be used to support an up-ranking of C. cytisoides varieties to the species level as previously defined by molecular studies. The significance of anatomical adaptive strategies to arid environments is also discussed. Standard light microscopy techniques and histochemical tests were used for both morphoanatomical and histochemical characterization of the leaves. All the species studied share a single-layered epidermis, actinodromous–camptodromous–brochidodromous type of venation, vascular bundles surrounded by layers of fibers bounded externally by a sheath of cells containing solitary crystals, enlarged tracheids at the vein endings, vascular petiole/rachis tissue with a parenchymatous pith, accessory vascular bundles, mucilage idioblasts and hypodermis in the mesophyll, colleters, and non-secretory trichomes. The position and type of stomata, type of mesophyll, number of palisade and spongy parenchyma layers, position of mucilage idioblasts in the mesophyll, and the number of accessory vascular bundles of petiole/rachis provided useful characters for discriminating the eight species of the subsect. Baseophyllum. Histochemical tests reveal the presence of total polysaccharides, pectins, mucilage and phenolic compounds in the idioblasts. Other xeromorphic characters such as thickened outer periclinal cell walls, compact mesophyll, mucilage idioblasts and hypodermis in the mesophyll may help enable the studied species to survive in exposed sunny areas.     

Morphological and anatomical characteristics and taxonomical significance of achene micromorphology of Achillea phrygia and A. gypsicola (Asteraceae), endemic to Turkey

Micromorphological and anatomical characters of two Achillea L. species, A . phrygia Boiss. & Bal. and A. gypsicola Hub-Mor., which are endemic to Turkey, were investigated. It was observed that stem length, corymb width, number of capitula and median phyllary shape were diagnostic characters. In the anatomical studies, cross sections were taken from roots, stem and leaves. It was observed that roots of the investigated taxa had a secondary thickening. Endodermis and collenchyma layers were prominent in the stem of both taxa and they had a bifacial mesophyll while the layers of the mesophyll varied. Stomata were anomocytic in both species. We found that there was a significant difference in terms of width of epidermis cells and length of cortex cells in the root, epidermis width and length, collenchyma and parenchyma cells, endodermis length, diameter of trachea of stem, length of upper epidermis cells, width of lower epidermis cells, length of palisade parenchyma and spongy parenchyma cells, diameter of trachea and stomata length of leaf between the two taxa (p<0.05). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to describe the micromorphology of trichomes and achenes. In A. phrygia , long and eglandular trichomes were more dense on the stem and leaf epidermis. Achene micromorphological characteristics such as size, shape and achene coat were considered to be useful in separating the investigated species.     

Changes in chloroplast morphology of different parenchyma cells in leaves of Haberlea rhodopensis Friv. during desiccation and following rehydration

The size, shape, and number of chloroplasts in the palisade and spongy parenchyma layers of Haberlea rhodopensis leaves changed significantly during desiccation and following rehydration. The chloroplasts became smaller and more rounded during desiccation, and aggregated in the middle of the cell. The size and number of chloroplasts in the palisade parenchyma cells were higher than in spongy parenchyma. The good correlation observed between the size or number of chloroplasts and the cross-sectional area of mesophyll cells, the cross-sectional width of the leaf and its water content suggested that the palisade cells were more responsive to water availability than the spongy cells. Changes in chloroplast number during desiccation and rehydration process are characteristic features for desiccation-tolerant plants (especially in homoiochlorophyllous strategy).     

Effects of nitrogen deprivation on cell division and expansion in leaves of Ricinus communis L.

The effects of nitrogen deprivation on leaf extension, cell numbers and epidermal cell size were followed in leaves of Ricinus communis L. The extent to which reductions in final cell number or final epidermal cell size contributed to the reduction in final leaf size depended on the developmental stage of the leaf at the time of N deprivation. In leaves which already had their full complement of cells (leaf 2), the reduction in final leaf size following nitrogen deprivation was associated with a reduction in final cell size. In leaves that were at earlier stages of development at the onset of N deprivation (leaves 3 and 4), the reduction in final leaf size was greater than in leaf 2. In these younger leaves, the final cell size was even smaller than in leaf 2, but the greatest contribution to reduced final leaf size was a reduction in the number of cells produced. This accounted for approximately 80% of the reduction in final leaf size in leaf 4. During leaf development, the contribution from different tissue layers to the total cell number changed. In the smallest leaf sizes, the contribution from upper and lower epidermis and spongy parenchyma was greater than that from palisade parenchyma. As the leaf size increased, cells in the palisade parenchyma continued to divide for longer than in the other layers. At final leaf size, the contribution from the different tissue layers to total cell number was the same for leaves 2, 3 and 4, irrespective of N treatment. In these final leaf structures, palisade parenchyma contributed 60% of the total cell number. Thus, although nitrogen deprivation affected leaf size variously through cell division and cell expansion, depending on leaf developmental stage at the time of nitrogen deprivation, the ratio of cell numbers and sizes in different tissue layers, at final leaf size, was unaffected.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SEED OF ABUTILON THEOPHRASTI. II. SEED COAT

Winter , Dorothy M. (Iowa State U., Ames.) The development of the seed of Abutilon theophrasti. II. Seat coat. Amer. Jour. Bot. 47(3) : 157—162. Illus. 1960.–The integuments of Abutilon theophrasti Medic. undergo a rapid increase in size, predominantly by anticlinal cell divisions during the first 3 days after fertilization. Within 7 days, the outer epidermis of the inner integument becomes thick walled. At maturity this compact, lignified, and cutinized palisade layer accounts for more than half the thickness of the seed coat. During early growth, the palisade cells form a continuous layer in the micropylar region. In the chalazal region the palisade layer is discontinuous in a slit-shaped region, 60 × 740 microns. The shape of this discontinuity constitutes a major difference between dormant-seeded Abutilon and non-dormant Gossypium seeds. Exterior to the palisade layer is the outer integument which consists of a small-celled layer and a large-celled layer sparsely covered with unicellular, lignified hairs. Interior to the palisade is the thick mesophyll of the inner integument which is largely digested during seed growth and leaves only 2 pigmented cell layers in most regions at maturity. The inner epidermis is small-celled, pigmented and cutinized and adheres tightly to the endosperm. Seed coat impermeability increases with seed maturity. Even immature seeds will germinate, if scarified, indicating a lack of embryo dormancy.

Leaf anatomy of the subtribe Conceveibinae (Euphorbiaceae)

A comparative study of the leaf anatomy of the subtribe Conceveibinae was carried out. Leaves show a similar structural arrangement in all species, however, there are small variations among the taxa that allow definitions of species or groups. It is not possible to recognize infrageneric divisions or to maintain some genera as different from Conceveiba. The analysis included the study of 11 characters of taxonomic importance of the leaf: the form, the size and the apex of the papillae of the lower side of the blade, the number of layers of the palisade parenchyma, the presence or absence of the midrib pith, the number of vascular bundles of petiole as well as the central cylinder and the medulla, and the presence or absence of the sclerenchyma in the different levels of the petiole. The results are evaluated from a taxonomical point of view. With leaf anatomy characters only, it is possible to separate the genus Conceveiba in the subtribe.

EFFECTS OF 2,3,5-TRIIODOBENZOIC ACID ON THE STRUCTURE OF SOYBEAN LEAVES

The effects of 2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid (TIBA) on soybean leaves (Glycine max. [L.] Merrill ‘Harosoy‘) include thickening with intensification of color and some raised intercostal regions, giving a wrinkled appearance. These effects are not restricted to early stages of leaf development but are pronounced during and after unfolding of the leaf. Proliferation of tracheary elements, increased procambial activity, and hypertrophy of bundle sheath extension cells occurred in the leaflet midvein of the youngest expanded leaf treated with 50 ppm or 100 ppm of TIBA. The youngest treated leaves exhibited differential growth rates and expansion within the palisade and spongy layers. Hypertrophy of spongy cells in these leaves occurred independently or simultaneously with elongation of the upper and lower palisade layers. The palisade and spongy tissues had undergone cell division and expansion at a greater pace than the epidermal layers. This, along with hypertrophy in the bundle sheath extension cells, would explain the wrinkled appearance of the lamina. The treated leaf became thicker than the control as a result of the increased number of cells in the spongy layer and elongation in the palisade layer. The observed aberrations in leaf structure suggest that TIBA interferes with some auxin-translocating system within the plant.
