迷果芹(\%Sphallerocarpus gracilis)和红三叶

对迷果芹(Sphallerocarpusgracilis(Bess.)K-Pol.)和红三叶(TrifoliumpratenseL.)进行了染色体计数及核型分析.迷果芹的染色体数目为2n=20,核型公式为K(2n)=2x=20=14m+4sm+2st(SAT);核型类型为2A,为较对称核型,该种植物的染色体数目及核型均为首次报道.红三叶的染色体数目有2n=14、16、28、32等类型,本研究首次报道了2n=14的核型公式为K(2n)=2x=14=2M+12m,核型类型为1B,为较原始的对称核型.     

中华大蟾蜍多种组织内5—羟色胺免疫染色细胞的分布

The distribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) immunostaining cells in the digestive tracts (hibernation and nonhibernation), the brain and other various tissues of Bufo bufo gargarizans was studied by peroxidase anti-peroxidase immunocytochemical method. In the brain, 5-HT immunostaining cells were localized in the raphen nuclear area of brain stem and in the ependyma cell area of the ventriclus tertius of diencephalon. These immunostaining cells were round or oval. The cells usually possess processes which were filled with immunoreactive substance. Some of the processes were contact with the processes of other cells. A few 5-HT positive reactive nerve fibers were observed in the brain stem and the diencephalon. The density of 5-HT immunostaining cells in the digestive tubes were the highest in the pylorus, fundus, cardia of gaster, and moderate in the esophagus and duodenum and the lowest in the large intestine and the small intestine. The density of 5-HT immunostaining cells in the digestive tubes were higher in nonhibernant toads than in hibernant toads. By the statistical method, the difference of the density between the two sorts of toads were notable (P less than 0.05). The 5-HT immunostaining cells were visualized to distribute between the epithelium cells of the mucosa or the epithelium cells of gland. These positive cells usually had one or more processes which contained 5-HT immunoreactive substance. Some were reached into lumen surface of the gland or intestine. Some were extended into lamina propria through the basal membrane. These results indicate that the 5-HT immunostaining cells in digestive tubes could release 5-HT by both endocrine and exocrine ways.
