百合科开口箭属六个种的核型研究

本文报道了开口箭属(Tupistra)6个种的核型,发现6个种皆为二倍体,染色体数目为38。他们的核型公式是:弯蕊开口箭(T. wattii)为2n=2x=38=38m;长梗开口箭(T. longipeduncuJara)为2n=2x=38=28m 10sm;橙花开口箭(T. aurantiaca)为2n=2x=38=22m 16sm;开口箭(T. chinensis)和云南开口箭(T. yunnanensis)皆为2n=2x=38=24m 14sm,核型皆为2B型,但sm染色体的位置有所不同;伞柱开口箭(T. fungilliformis)为2n=2x=38=18m 2sm 12st 6t。前述5个种的核型由一型染色体组成,而伞柱开口箭的核型由二型染色体组成。开口箭属和蜘蛛抱蛋属(Aspisdistra)是亲缘关系接近的两个属,伞柱开口箭是开口箭属和蜘蛛抱蛋属之间的一个过渡类群。     

Pollination-induced floral senescence in orchids: Status of oxidative stress

The orchid flowers may stay fresh in unpollinated state from few weeks to months but show rapid senescence upon pollination. Metabolic changes related to this phenomenon are less well understood in orchid flowers. Presently, two orchid species, Aerides multiflora Roxb. and Rhynchostylis retusa (L.) Bl., varying in their floral life span were evaluated for their postpollination-induced responses, involving the oxidative stress. The unpollinated flowers of A. multiflora stayed fresh for 17 days and attained senescence in 5 days after pollination (DAP), while those of R. retusa. remained fresh for 24 days and showed senescence in 7 DAP. After pollination, wilting began in 2 to 3 days in A. multiflora and 3 to 4 days in R. retusa. There was a higher electrolyte leakage accompanied by a concomitant increase in the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂), indicators of oxidative damage in all the organs after pollination while ascorbic acid decreased significantly. The flowers of A. multiflora showed a greater electrolyte leakage, MDA and H₂O₂ contents as compared to those of R. retusa. Ascorbic acid content, on the other hand, was lower in A. multiflora than in R. retusa, suggesting a higher oxidative damage to the floral organs in the former species. An application of triiodobenzoic acid ( an auxin inhibitor; 0.25 mM) and silver nitrate (ethylene inhibitor; 0.25 mM) to pollinated flowers partially prevented the oxidative damage and consequently the senescence, suggesting the involvement of these hormones. AgNO₃ was more effective in delaying senescence.     

Structure and Development of the Axillary Complex and Extrafloral Nectaries in Capparis retusa Griseb.

Abstract: The structure, organization and development of the axillary complex and extrafloral nectary in Capparis retusa Griseb. was analysed for the first time. The axillary complex presents three uniserial descending buds. Subordinated shoots originate from the distal and middle bud, while the proximal bud is usually quiescent. Close to the top of the axillary complex there is a subglobulous and umbilicated extrafloral nectary, normally visited by nectivore ants; a chronological coincidence between secretion, production and ant patrolling activities has been observed. The nectary structure differentiates at the second caulinar node, from an axillar meristem separated from the surrounding cells by a shell zone. On the fourth node a remarkably developed nectary primordium can be observed, inside which procambial strands develop acropetally. In the central region of the nectary primordium homogenous parenchyma differentiates progressively, later acquiring characteristics of nectariferous tissue. The mature nectary is vascularized by xylem and phloem, and the procambial differentiation is completed in a basipetal way. The first serial bud differentiates at the third node, from meristem cells near the base of its supporting leaf. The complex nodal structure with three buds completes its development at the eighth caulinar node. Ramular traces are observed as vascular semicylinders penetrating into the base of the buds to constitute a vascular system similar to that of the shoot. The scheme is repeated in the extrafloral nectary, giving rise to prolific branching in the periphery of the nectariferous tissue.
