试论竹类的花序及其演变

本文旨在讨论竹类花序的类型。它共有两大类型,即单次发生花序(简称“真花序”)与续次发生花序(简称“假花序”)。前者具有一延续的花序轴,这与竹类的一般营养轴是迥然不同的;此外,整个花序是在一单次发育的周期内所产生的,并且它在植物体上有着一定的生长部位;它们的基本单位是小穗(真小穗),每小穗通常具一明显的柄。后一类型,则实是竹株的具花枝条,而非是真正的花序,故称为“假花序”。它具有原来就是营养轴所成的“花序轴”,此轴仍有节与节间两部分的区别,仅在其节处始能生有小穗;它们在发生上是续次(successivus)的,其小穗可不固定地着生在植物体任何级别的营养轴之各节,甚至可直接生长在主竿的节上;生长在此种类型花序上的通常或大多是假小穗,它无柄或近于无柄。多数情况都是形成紧密的簇团。又此种类型的花序仅见于竹类的一部分属种中,而决不发现在其他禾草(包括另一部分的竹类)的植株上。作者认为真正的花序可以通过演化而转变为续次发生的花序即“假花序”。举例来说,他曾设想筱竹Thamnocalamus spathiflorus Munro含2-3枚小穗的总状花序能够演化为浦竹仔Indosasa hispida McClure那样形态的一小段花枝。作者还相信在竹类的两大类型的花序之间并非仅有一个方向的演化途径,甚至还可能有着逆向演化之存在。     

基于形态和叶表皮微形态特征试论国产赖草属属下类群间的系统关系

通过对先前学者报道的国产赖草属24个物种、72个代表居群形态和叶表皮微形态性状特征的观测和研究,结果发现:(1)原国产赖草属物种在旗叶长宽、叶片被毛状况、花序直曲和长宽、穗轴每节小穗数、每小穗小花数、外稃和内稃长度等15个外部形态学性状上均存在不同程度的差异,可将参试物种区分为3个不同的组;大赖草、粗穗赖草、硕花赖草和柴达木赖草多穗组植物的穗状花序粗壮呈圆锥状、直立、密集,穗轴同节着生3-多枚小穗,每小穗常含3~10小花,颖线状披针形等,致使其处于该属最原始的地位;皮山赖草、若羌赖草和格尔木赖草单穗组物种的穗状花序细弱呈线状、直立、疏松,穗轴每节仅着生1枚小穗,每小穗往往含2~5小花,颖线状披针形或锥形,这些较高级的外部形态特征使得该组植物隶属于赖草属中较高级的类群;而少穗组植物的外部形态性状通常介于前两组植物的中间过渡状态,因而它的系统地位自然也应处于多穗组和单穗组植物之间。同时,依据外部形态性状的递变趋势分析显示,3组植物具有直接的派生渊源。(2)国产赖草属植物的叶表皮皆由长细胞、短细胞、气孔器细胞和刺毛所组成,表现为典型的狐茅型;它们除在长细胞类型和壁的厚薄、气孔器保卫细胞的体积和类型等性状上具有明显重叠而显示相似外,其它多数性状如长细胞的长度和壁的波曲程度、短细胞的分布式样、副卫细胞的形状及刺毛的类型等性状上具有明显差异,其可将赖草属植物鉴分为与形态学界定结果完全相同的3个组。同时,根据3组植物及组内物种叶表皮性状的演化趋势,对各组和组内物种的演化关系和系统位置分析表明,多穗组植物最原始,少穗组植物较进化,单穗组植物最高级;多穗组可能直接派生了较进化的少穗组,并在少穗组的基础上进而产生了最高级的单穗组。赖草属属下类群的这一系统关系与利用外部形态特征所获得的系统与进化关系基本一致。     

橄榄种质资源花序表型性状遗传多样性研究

为了解橄榄[Canarium album(Loureiro)Raeuschel]花序表型性状的遗传多样性,对90份橄榄种质资源的花序性状进行观测分析。结果表明,橄榄花序的类型、支轴紧密度、着生位置和花性等表现出较丰富的多样性;从数量性状看,花序花朵数的变异系数最大,其次为支轴花朵数,变异系数最小的是花蕾直径,此外橄榄雄花花序的多样性较雌花丰富。花蕾直径与花瓣长度呈极显著正相关关系,与花序长度、花序支轴数、花序花朵数和支轴花朵数呈极显著负相关。聚类分析结果表明,橄榄种质资源的花序类型可分为3类,大部分雄花和雌花类群间差异较明显。因此,橄榄花序表型性状存在多样性和复杂性,且花序重要单一性状可能影响整体表型。     

一些花序的新定义和一个新的花序分类系统——植物学教材质疑(六)

花序是生花的分枝结构或系统,通常是被子植物科的重要特征,与传粉密切相关。花序教学的困难可能来自各教材在花序定义和分类上存在的问题。本文重新定义了一些花序类型,如有限和无限花序、伞房花序、轮伞花序,也澄清了伞形花序、柔荑花序、头状花序和隐头花序等花序分类上的一些混乱。笔者提议将花簇生和因花序退化而形成的单花列为花序类型。最后,本文提出了一个新的花序分类系统,增加了一些分类单元。     

我国小麦族的花序形态演化及其属间亲缘关系的探讨

禾本科的花序为变态的分枝系统,在其穗轴的节上不着生正常的枝叶而代之以小穗。小麦族的花序为穗状花序。穗领为退化的顶生叶叶鞘遗迹,它围绕着茎杆,而在其对面,叶鞘两边缘抱茎,形成一缝隙,穗轴为杆向上延伸着生小穗的部份,呈扁平长方形,两个扁平面的方位分别与穗领着生面和裂缝面相一致。顶生小穗的两个颖平行于穗轴的扁平面;侧生小穗的两个颖垂直于穗轴的扁平面。小麦族的穗状花序是由雀麦族的圆锥花序和总状花序简缩苞叶和花柄而来,二至数枚小穗并生在穗轴的同一节上者形成圆锥穗状花序,三枚小穗并生在同一个节上者,形成聚伞穗状花序,仅留一枚小穗单生在一个节上者,形成简单穗状花序。单生小穗中两颖中脉与外稃中脉和小穗轴三者同位于一个面上的称为真单生小穗;否则,颖和外稃移动了这个位置者名为假单生小穗。假单生小穗类型与并生小穗类型之间往往发生互相转变;而真单生小穗类型则相当稳定。     

中国枸杞种质资源主要形态学性状调查与聚类分析

为了进一步研究中国枸杞种质资源的遗传多样性及其之间关系,本项目利用主成分和聚类分析方法,对宁夏保存的31份中国枸杞以及1份美国枸杞、1份韩国枸杞种质资源主要形态学性状进行了分析。结果表明,这些枸杞资源形态差异较大,遗传多样性程度较高;枸杞叶片形状、枝条硬度和颜色、花器、果实颜色等性状的演化,尤其是果实的颜色有由黑色→红色→黄色演变、叶片形状由披针→条状披针→条状演变的趋势较为明显;宁夏黄果枸杞与中宁黑果枸杞的遗传距离较远,与宁夏枸杞栽培种宁杞1号、宁杞2号遗传距离较近,再次证明宁夏黄果枸杞是宁夏枸杞的1个变种;枸杞株高、冠幅、地径、自然株型、叶片形状、枝条硬度、叶面状态、果实颜色、花的形状等在枸杞遗传性状中起支配作用,可作为枸杞新品种选育的参考指标;中国枸杞种质资源可以分为10类群,与7种3变种植物学分类结果相似;计算出了各个遗传类群之间、33份枸杞材料之间的遗传距离。     

毛竹的花序发育研究

通过野外观察和石蜡切片技术研究了毛竹(Phyllostachys edulis)的花序发育进程。研究结果表明:毛竹的花序为续次发生的假花序,以小穗为单元,4~13个不等,偏向一侧排列(似扫帚状)的小穗组成长约8.01 cm的复穗状花序;当花序伸长至4~5 cm时,形成侧芽结构,小穗原基开始发育,形成各级小穗,直至顶生小穗、侧生小穗出现;当花序伸长至8~10 cm时,颖花原基形成并开始发育,最终形成3个雄蕊和1个雌蕊构成的小花。花序形成初期(5月中旬至6月),苞片紧裹主轴,顶端具缩小叶;随着分蘖小穗的生长和小花开放,植株叶片变黄,整个花序变为褐色,进入种实发育成熟阶段。本文首次报道了毛竹花序的发育进程,进一步丰富了竹类生殖生物学的研究内容,为竹亚科及禾本科的生殖生物学研究积累了丰富的材料。     

泡沙参复合体（桔梗科）的物种生物学研究：Ⅰ表型的可塑性

表型可塑性是生物变异中由环境引起的一种变异,是植物适应的一种重要方式。对沙参属这样一个形态上复杂多变、分类上很难处理的类群,研究其表型可塑性不仅为探讨性状变异、判断其系统学意义及选择可靠的分类性状提供了有益的资料,而且有助于揭示沙参属植物变异、适应和进化的机制。本文从泡沙参复合体中选择了6个居群,利用播种和移栽试验,通过对不同个体和居群在一致条件下的表现及野外和移栽后的对比,对根、茎、叶、花和果等形态性状的表型可塑性进行了初步的观测分析。结果表明,一些叶片、花部和果实性状具有较大的发育可塑性,尤其是叶形、花萼裂片不仅发育变化大,而且随发育过程定向变化。环境可塑性较大的性状主要是根、茎、花序分枝等性状,而叶片、花部、果实和种子性状的环境饰变能力都较小。最后,对泡沙参复合体形态性状的变异从发育可塑性和环境可塑性的角度进行了讨论。

瑞香属和荛花属的数量分类研究

瑞香属和荛花属为瑞香科瑞香亚科的落叶或常绿灌木,中国西南部是瑞香属和荛花属的重要分化中心。全世界共有瑞香属95种、荛花属70种,中国分布有瑞香属52种、荛花属49种。瑞香属和荛花属的分类学研究一直存在不同程度的分歧。花盘形状和果实类型在传统分类中一直是区分瑞香属和荛花属的典型特征,而花盘形态和果实类型在2个属中存在交叉和过渡,部分植物分类学家根据这些特征将两个属进行过不同程度的归并。该研究采用数量分类法对瑞香属77种(变种)和荛花属62种(变种)植物,选取32个形态学性状进行聚类分析和主成分分析。结果表明:聚类分析和主成分分析均显示两属均未形成单系类群。在主成分分析中,前3个主成分分析的贡献值为35.56%,传统分类中用来区分两属的花盘形状、叶序及果实类型等特征对前3个主成分贡献相对较小,因此,传统分类学中对这两个属进行区分的性状并没有典型的分类学意义。同时,聚类图和主成分分析得到的散点图均不能将这两个属区分开来。数量分类研究结果显示两属植物存在明显的交叉,支持瑞香属和荛花属不是两个独立自然类群的观点。     

Taxonomic, evolutionary and ecological implications of the leaf anatomy of rhizomatous Iris species

The leaf anatomy of the rhizomatous Iris species with ensiform leaves and the related genera Pardanthopsis and Belamcanda is described. Their isobilateral leaves may or may not have a pseudo-dorsiventral structure. Variable characters of their leaf blades include: outline in transverse section, height and shape of papillae, form and structure of stomata, transverse section outline of marginal fibre strands and sclerenchy matous inner bundle sheath at phloem and xylem poles, forms of mesophyll arrangement, mesophyll structure and air canals, vascular bundle arrangement and the detailed structure of the larger vascular bundles, distribution of tannin, size and distribution of crystals. The taxonomic and ecological significance of these characters has been evaluated.
The anatomical characteristics of 25 supraspecific taxa in three genera are presented and compared in tables. The relationships and evolutionary position of these taxa are discussed. Each of the three subgroups within Iris appears to be correlated with a syndrome of anatomical characters. Some species currently of uncertain taxonomic position are discussed, and their classification based on anatomical data is suggested.
Some characters related to xeromorphy or helomorphy are mentioned.     

CHLOROPLAST DNA POLYMORPHISM AND PHYLOGENY IN THE B GENOME OF GLYCINE SUBGENUS GLYCINE (LEGUMINOSAE)

The B genome of Glycine subgenus Glycine comprises three diploid species whose monophyly is supported by morphological, crossing, and chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) data. Previous cpDNA studies indicated low levels of divergence among these taxa and failed to resolve cladistic relationships among them. More intensive studies of cpDNA variation were initiated, using additional restriction endonucleases and accessions. Results from cladistic analyses of over 50 restriction site characters indicate that there is considerable cpDNA polymorphism within this group of species, with a minimum of 27 plastome types occurring among the 74 accessions sampled. Levels of homoplasy observed in this group are relatively high (15%) for closely related congeneric species. There is only limited congruence between plastome type and taxonomic classification based on morphological characters. Explanations for this lack of concordance include: 1) the early state of taxonomic understanding in this group, 2) lack of resolution in the cpDNA tree caused by homoplasy and the small number of synapomorphic characters, 3) introgression among these interfertile, often sympatric taxa, and 4) maintenance of ancestral cpDNA polymorphisms resulting in shared plastomes among species.     

蹄盖蕨属（Athyrium Roth）分类性状观察

通过查阅馆藏标本和野外观察,对蹄盖蕨属（Athyrium Roth）的分类性状进行了比较研究,认为根状茎类型、叶上是否具刺、孢子囊群的形状、羽片基部上侧是否具耳状突起和是否具棘头状腺毛等5个形态性状较为稳定,可作为蹄盖蕨属的属下分类性状;叶或羽片的形状及羽片是否具柄等性状可作为分种性状;叶的分裂回数、鳞片和叶柄、羽轴及小羽轴的颜色、被毛多寡及裂片形状等形态性状不适合单独作为蹄盖蕨属属内分种的性状。     

Taxonomic implication of embryo micromorphology in the genus <Emphasis Type="Italic">Vicia</Emphasis> L. (Fabaceae)

In this work, embryos of selected Vicia species were examined to reveal the micromorphological characters that could have taxonomic significance. Experimental results show that morphological characters such as cotyledons shape and colour, radicle shape, colour and position, plumule colour and stipular parts attachments are variable and could be used for taxa identification in the genus Vicia. Numerical analysis based on 38 micromorphological characters was used to build a phenogram that indicated the relationships among the studied taxa. In addition, an identification key using embryo characters was prepared for Vicia species. The variability of embryo characters were discussed in the taxonomic context. Although the embryo characters have only limited phylogenetic signal for Vicia species, they might be used for their morphological delimitation.

The taxonomic value of fruit wing types in the order Apiales

This study shows that structural data, when carefully examined, can provide valuable characters for delimiting monophyletic groups and can complement DNA with observable features to recognize and circumscribe taxa. In the angiosperm order Apiales, traditional classification has relied heavily (often exclusively) on fruit characters. Recent molecular systematic studies, however, provided a radically different picture of relationships, calling into question the utility of fruit characters. We have studied fruit anatomy from 18 genera (Annesorhiza, Asteriscium, Astrotricha, Choritaenia, Dasispermum, Elaeoselinum, Heptaptera, Hermas, Heteromorpha, Laretia, Molopospermum, Myodocarpus, Pachypleurum, Peucedanum, Polemanniopsis, Polylophium, Rouya, and Tordylium) that represent all major taxonomic groups of Apiales characterized by winged fruits and the full range of wing types. Fruit anatomy closely corresponded with the phylogenetic position of these genera, as suggested by molecular studies. Fruit features of taxonomic importance include developmental origin of the wings, carpel shape, presence of vittae, woodiness of the endocarp, position of crystals, and type of carpophores. Despite the long history of recognizing umbellifers as a "natural group," few studies have been able to provide structural characters to help circumscribe the clades identified by molecular data. The interpretations presented are an important step toward erecting a stable system of classification for this difficult family.     

Micromorphology of fruits and seeds of Iranian Geranium (Geraniaceae), and its systematic significance

The fruit and seed micromorphology of 22 species of Geranium, representing the eight sections of the genus represented in Iran (G. sectt. Dissecta, Geranium, and Tuberosa of subgen. Geranium; sectt. Batrachioidea, Divaricata, Lucida, Ruberta and Trilopha of subgen. Robertium), have been examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Macro‐ and micromorphological characters, including fruit and seed shape, size, color, hair type and density, mericarp ornamentations, hilum position, seed coat pattern, epidermal cell shape, and anticlinal and periclinal cell walls, are presented. Two microsculpturing patterns are recognized on the mericarp surface: reticulate and pusticulate. The micromorphology of the seed coat showed four distinctive cell patterns. The seed epidermis is constructed either of polygonal, elongated polygonal, or square to rectangular cells. The polygonal type is the most common among the studied species, but the variation in testa cell characters, their size and shape, may provide further information and useful diagnostic characters at specific and infraspecific rank. The shape and color of the seeds are, however, of little systematic value. Fruit characters were found to be important for separating taxa at infrageneric rank and our results show that the species can be separated into subgenera and sections based on fruit morphology.
