3种桉树组培苗不定根发生发育过程的解剖学观察

以巨尾桉‘GL9’、尾巨桉‘DH32-29’和尾边桉‘XF35’3种桉树无性系组培生根苗为材料,采用常规石蜡切片技术,对石蜡切片制作过程中的固定环节进行了优化,观察了桉树不定根的发育过程。结果表明:(1)采用FAA固定液固定材料,可获得染色清晰,组织完整的桉树根系切片。(2)‘GL9’和‘DH32-29’在生根诱导8d后生出不定根,生根类型为皮部生根;‘XF35’在生根诱导12d后生出不定根,生根类型为愈伤组织生根;‘GL9’不定根的根尖和根基处均有细胞旺盛分裂,‘DH32-29’不定根只在根尖有细胞旺盛分裂,‘XF35’不定根则只在其根基处有大量旺盛分裂的细胞。     

A New Algal Fossil from Early Cambrian in Qingzhen County,Guizhou Province,China

A new algal fossil was collected from the lower part of the Lower Cambrian, a Sinian-Cambrian boundary section in Abazhai of Qingzhen County, Guizhou Province. It was discovered in petrographic thin sections of a black laminated chert. The new fossil, Symphysosphaera radialis gen. et sp. nov. is a fossilized muhicellular colony characterized by a surface layer of cells enclosed in an envelope, inner cavity permeated with dark dense mucilage embedded with numerous spherical units. Its difference from all morphs discovered in Precambrian, indicates that the genus may represent member of a new order at the beginning of Cambrian. hs stratigraphic and biological significance merits our attantion.     

Notes on the Genus Sonneratia (Sonneratiaceae) in S. E. Asia

Sonneratia, a small genus of Sonneratiaceae, is widely distributed throughout SE. Asia, E. Africa and N. Australia, extending from 18˚S. to 20˚N. and from 45˚ to 150˚E. In China it occurs only in the Hainan Island. In this paper, two new sections areproposed and six species are recognized, of which one is described as new.     

Leaf Anatomy of Fourteen Species in Carex Subgenus Indocarex (Cyperaceae)

Among the subgenera of the genus Carex, the subgenus Indocarex has been seldom studied in any respects, Its systematic position and its subdivision are still disputable. Leaf anatomy of 14 species in the subgenus lndocarex from China was studied. The anatomical characters are proved to be systematically valuable. (1) Characters of lamina transverse section: All leaves of these 14 species are dorsiventral. The outline mostly V-shaped, occasionally flat or nearly flat, with adaxial lateral rib in each half of lamina and some of them flanged. The cells of adaxial surface larger than those of abaxial surface, and the epidermal cells over veins usually smaller than others. Air-cavities between vascular bundles are well developed, and bulliform cells also well developed in most taxa. The vascular bundles are collaterai, bundle sheaths double-layered, and the outer sheath parenchymatous and the inner sheath fibrous. (2) Characters of lamina epidermis: The shape of the cell on both surfaces is generally rectangular, and the anticlinal wall of epidermal cell sinuous; stomata is paracytic, elliptic to oblong, rarely sub-circular; prickles occur on adaxial surfaces of certain species; papillae are only obvious on abaxial surface of C. moupinensis Franch. The characters of transverse section and epidermis of leaf blades of these 14 species differ from each other to certain degree, and closely related species are similar in anatomical characters. The anatomical characters of lamina are of value for classification at specific and sectional level of the subgenus Indocarex. Despite of the variation of these characters among species, a certain num ber of characters appears to be shared by the members of the subgenus, and some of the common characters are primitive. In addition, some gross morphological characters are common and primitive also. Therefore, the subgenus Indocarex may be primitive in the genus Carex. The anatomical and morphological characters of C. scaposa C. B. Clakre and C. densifimbriata Tang et Wang ex S. Y. Liang are distinct. The two species and their allies should be treated as section instead of subsection. The three species in the sectionPolystachyae share some anatomical characters and comprise a coherent group.     

中国马尾杉属拟石杉组(新组)的分类研究及马尾杉属的属下分类

1964年J．Holub建立马尾杉属Phlegmariurus(Herter)Holub之后,植物学界有各种不同的反映。 本文在研究中国种类基础上将这个属看作不同于石杉属Huperzia Bernh．的独立的属,其特殊性尤表现 在附生习性和热带分布两方面。本文将该属中国种类划分为三个组,列出其分组检索表。对其中新组 拟石杉组Sect. Huperzioides(sect. nov．)作了分类学研究,共记载了该组植物13种,内含4个新组合： Ph．petiolatus(Clarke)H．S．Kung et L. B．Zhang,Ph．cryptomerianus (Maxim．)Ching,Ph．ovatifolius (Ching)W. M. Chu, Ph. nylamensis (Ching et S. K. Wu)H. S. Kung et L. B. Zhang; 7个新异名: Hu- perzia formoana Holub [ = Ph. taiwanensis Ching], H. austrosinica Ching [ ＝ Ph. petiolatus ], Lycopodi- um minchegense Ching [ = Ph. mincheensis Ching ], Ph. mincheensis var. angustifolius C. Y. Ma [ ＝ Ph. mincheensis ], Ph. longyangensis C. Y. Ma [ = Ph. fordii ], Ph. nanus C. Y. Ma [ = Ph. fordii ], Ph. yangdongensis Ching et C. F. Zhang [ = Ph. fordii ]; 以及1个中国分布新记录种: Ph. hamiltonii。     

耳蕨属一新组——新生耳蕨组

描述了耳蕨属一新组——新生耳蕨组Sect．Neopolystichum Ching。小羽片背面具披针形小鳞片 使得新生耳蕨组显著区别于后生耳蕨组Sect．Metapolystichum Tagawa(emend．Zhang＆Kung,1996)。 本文对新生耳蕨组进行了分类学研究,共记载本组植物7种,并给出了各种植物的地理分布。认为九州 耳蕨P．kiusiuense Tagawa是大叶耳蕨P．grandifrons C. Chr．的一异名,二尖耳蕨P.biaristatum(Bl．)Moore极有可能并不分布于喜马拉雅、中南半岛、缅甸和云南。

Focus: Rare Disease: Necrotizing Fasciitis: Association with Pregnancy-related Risk Factors Early in Life

Background: Pregnancy-related risk factors for necrotizing fasciitis are poorly understood. We investigated pregnancy-related characteristics associated with the long-term risk of developing necrotizing fasciitis, a rare life-threatening infectious disease. Methods: We analyzed a longitudinal cohort of 1,344,996 parous women in Quebec, Canada between 1989 and 2020. The main exposure measures included complications of pregnancy such as gestational diabetes, preterm delivery, metabolic disorder, and other maternal characteristics. We followed the women over time to identify future hospitalizations for necrotizing fasciitis up to three decades after delivery. We estimated adjusted hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the association of pregnancy characteristics with risk of necrotizing fasciitis in time-varying Cox proportional hazards regression models. Results: A total of 420 women were hospitalized for necrotizing fasciitis during follow-up, including 83 (19.8%) with diabetes-related necrotizing fasciitis. The incidence of necrotizing fasciitis was elevated for women with gestational diabetes (2.9 per 100,000 person-years), preterm delivery (3.2 per 100,000 person-years), and metabolic disorders (5.4 per 100,000 person-years), compared with no pregnancy complication (1.1 per 100,000 person-years). Compared with no pregnancy complication, gestational diabetes was associated with 1.87 times the risk (95% CI 1.38-2.53), preterm delivery with 2.10 times the risk (95% CI 1.65-2.66), and metabolic disorder with 3.72 times the risk (95% CI 2.92-4.74) of developing necrotizing fasciitis over time. Pregnancy complications were more strongly associated with the risk of necrotizing fasciitis 5 years or more after delivery. Conclusions: Complications of pregnancy may be associated with the long-term risk of necrotizing fasciitis in women.
