兰属植物光合途径的研究

本文对兰属（Cymbidium）植物的七个种中的10个栽培种的光合途径进行了生理生化研究。结果表明,这些兰属植物叶片的磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶（PEPCase）和丙酮酸磷酸双激酶（PPDK）的活性很低,乙醇酸氧化酶的活性较高。在光下用α-羟基吡啶甲烷磺酸（α－HPMS）处理叶片后,乙醇酸积累量明显高于对照。叶绿素a／b比值在1．24—2．69之间。光合速率最低为0.96—3.33μmlCO2m-2S-1。这些结果表明所研究的几种兰属植物均为C3植物。     

Influence of some plant growth regulators on the growth and organogenesis ofCymbidium aloifolium (L.) Sw. seed-derived rhizomesin vitro

Summary An efficient procedure is outlined forin vitro regeneration of an epiphytic orchid,Cymbidium aloifolium (L.) Sw. using rhizomes developed from seeds. Murashige and Skoog's (1962) medium (MS) containing indole-3-acetic acid (IAA), indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), or 1-naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) stimulated growth and proliferation of rhizomes with NAA being most effective at 5.0 mg.l⁻¹ (27.0 μM). Shoot bud differentiation was induced in the apical portions of the rhizomes on MS medium containing kinetin (Kn) or N⁶-benzyladenine (BA). The highest frequency of shoot regeneration (91.5%) and the maximum number of shoot buds formed (3.5 shoots/rhizome) were recorded with BA at 1.0 mg.l⁻¹ (4.4 μM). NAA (0.1 mg.l⁻¹, 0.54 μM), whenever added to the medium in conjunction with BA (1.0 mg.l⁻¹, 4.4 μM), slightly enhanced the frequency of shoot bud regeneration (92.6%) and the number of shoot buds formed (5.2 shoots/rhizome). Moreover, an NAA-BA combination induced rooting in regenerated shoots thereby producing complete plantlets in one step. Shoots developed on cytokinin-supplemented medium were rooted on MS containing NAA at 1.0 mg.l⁻¹ (5.4 μM). Regenerated plantlets were acclimated and eventually established in a garden.     

Identification of Fusarium proliferatum causing leaf spots on Cymbidium orchids in Taiwan

Previous research indicated that black and yellow leaf spots on Cymbidium, Ondontioda, Dendrobium and Cattleya could be caused by Fusarium proliferatum worldwide. However, the agent causing leaf spot on Cymbidium spp. plants is still obscure in Taiwan. Thirty‐five F. fujikuroi species complex (FFSC)‐like isolates were collected from Cymbidium leaf spot from different greenhouses in Taiwan. All isolates were identified as F. proliferatum based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis. Sequence of translation elongation factor 1‐alpha gene showed 99%–100% homology with F. proliferatum. In addition, two assay techniques using either detached leaves or seedlings were used to evaluate the pathogenicity and host range of the isolates and consequently their effects on Cymbidium and other orchid plants. Pathogenicity assays revealed that all isolates induced black and necrotic spots on detached leaves of Cymbidium, showing 9.4%–29.5% severity on seedlings of Cymbidium. Results of host specificity tests on detached leaves of different plants indicated that the F. proliferatum isolates collected from Cymbidium plants caused severe black spots on Oncidium, Cymbidium, Dendrobium and Cattleya plants. The symptoms on Phalaenopsis plants were relatively mild. Results of host specificity tests on plant seedlings indicated that the F. proliferatum isolates of Cymbidium origin were also pathogenic to Oncidium, Cymbidium and Dendrobium, but not to Cattleya and Phalaenopsis. Phylogenetic analysis of the translation elongation factor (TEF) gene among all fungal isolates using maximum parsimony (MP) and Bayesian inference (BI) methods revealed that the isolates of F. proliferatum from Cymbidium spp. could be separated from other FFSC‐like species with high phylogenetic support.     

中国兰花(Chinese Cymbidium)部分品种的叶片同工酶分析

利用聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和淀粉胶凝胶电泳,对中国兰花的分属于六个种一个变种二十个品种的叶片过氧化物酶、酯酶、酸性磷酸酯酸、多酚氧化酶的同工酶进行了分析,共获得98条酶带,其中的95条具多态性。各个种的品种之间,有基本相似的特征酶谱。而各种间的酶谱差异较大。四种同功酶的聚类分析结果与传统分类学的划分比较接近,为中国兰花品种的鉴定和分类提供了生物化学依据。     

紫外光照射对兰花原球茎增殖、分化和超微结构的影响

本文研究结果表明：紫外光照射１小时有利于兰花原球茎的增殖,照射０．５小时有利于原球茎的分化。较高剂量的紫外光照射可导致细胞核的变形、皱缩、线粒体液泡化。在一定照射剂量条件下,紫外光照射可提高细胞无丝分裂颜率。

寒兰花器官发生及花发育过程的研究

为了揭示寒兰的成花机理,利用石蜡切片和花芽实体解剖记录了濒危植物寒兰花芽分化和发育的过程,并着重观察唇瓣和合蕊柱早期及中期的发育(在合蕊柱伸长之前)。结果表明:寒兰花芽分化沿着花序轴从下往上可分为4个阶段:花序原基分化,花原基分化,花被片分化和合蕊柱形成。唇瓣分化分为3个阶段:褶片分化,侧裂片分化和色块形成。唇瓣侧裂片和褶片产生较晚,与退化雄蕊可能没有关系。在合蕊柱形成过程中,首先分化出花药,随后分化产生中心皮顶部,侧心皮顶部,并形成花柱道,最终分化出蕊喙和黏盘。     

Effect of thidiazuron on bud development of Cymbidium sinense Willd in vitro

Seed-derived rhizomes of Cymbidium sinense Willdwere able to initiate shoot buds in the presence of0.01--1 mg/l thidiazuron (TDZ). However, TDZ retardedrhizome proliferation. The regenerated shoot budswhich had been cultured on basal medium with asupplement of 0.5 mg/l 1-naphthalene acetic acid (NAA)and 1 g/l active charcoal were able to form 10 cmplantlets within four months. Plantlets weretransplanted to sphagnum moss and cultured on a mistbench for six months and then planted into soil-filledpots and maintained in the greenhouse, where they grewwell. In the 2nd year, 9.1% of the potted plants borenormal flowers. In the 3rd year, each of them produced5--6 shoots about 43 cm in height and about 20 roots;73% of the potted plants flowered normally.     

Study on Leaf Anatomy and Photosynthesis of Cymbidium sinense

The leaf surface of Cymbidium sinense(Andr.) Willd was covered with cuticle and wax. The stomata were distributed in the dorsum of the leaf, the density being 100–130 mm-2 There was a stomatal cover on each stoma. The mesophyll was not differentiated into spongy tissue and palisade tissue. No chloroplast was observed in the vascular bundle sheath cells. The chloroplast in the mesophyll cells had well developed grana, with lightly stacked thylakoids and osmiophilic granules. The highest quantum yield of functional leaf was 0.082. The light compensation point of photosynthesis was about 5 μE·m-2·s-1, the light saturation point was about 200 μE·m-2·s-1. The photosynthetic ra,e of Cymbidium sinense was very low, generally 2.0–2.6 μmol CO2· m-2·s-1. The optimum temperature of photosynthesis of one-year-old leaf was 25℃. The photosynthe,ic rate of the three-year-old leaf declined with temperature rise. The ratio of chlorophyll a/b was about 2.7. The CO2 compensation point of photosynthesis was 105–220 ppm. All these data show that Cymbidium sinense belongs to the typical shade plants with low photosynthetic rate and high CO2 compensation point that explains that the growth of Cymbidium sinense is slow in nature.
