蜘蛛抱蛋亚族的花粉形态

本文研究并报道了百合科蜘蛛抱蛋亚族的花粉形态，主要结论如下：1．开口箭属含两种花粉类型即：(1)单槽、椭圆形；(2)无萌发孔、球形。具单槽、椭圆形花粉的种类含单型性核型，花形较小，柱头小而花柱短，雄蕊高于柱头；无萌发孔、球形花粉的种类则为单型性核型，花形较大，柱头常高度膨大，雄蕊常着生在花被筒基部。2．万年青属花粉为椭圆形，具单槽；蜘蛛抱蛋属花粉则为球形，无萌发孔；开口箭属花粉一部分与万年青属相似，另一部分则与蜘蛛抱蛋属雷同。3．蜘蛛抱蛋亚族中最原始的花粉类型为单槽椭圆形，具孔状或网状外壁纹饰。球形，无萌发孔，外壁具皱波状、瘤状或芽孢状纹饰的花粉为派生类型。4．蜘蛛抱蛋亚族种下花粉形状、萌发孔类型和外壁纹饰基本稳定，可作为分种特征。

POLLEN MORPHOLOGY IN THE SUBTRIBE ASPIDISTRINAE (LILIACEAE, s.l.)

Pollen morphology in the subtribe Aspidistrinae is reported and the main viewpoints are summarized as follows: (1) Two major types of pollen grains, i.e., monosulcate, ellipsoidal pollen and inaperturate, spheroidal pollen, are identified in the genus Tupistra The species with monosulcate, ellipsoidal pollen usually have monomodal karyotypes, bright-colored flower, smaller stigma, and stamens inserted at upper or middle part of perianth tube, while the inaperturate and spheroidal pollen is always found in the species with bimodal karyotypes, dingy-colored flower, swollen stigma and stamens inserted at the base of perianth tube. (2) Pollen grains in the genus Rhodea are monosulcate and ellipsoidal, while those in the genus Aspidistra are inaperturate and spheroidal, correspondingly similar to the second type of pollen grains in the genus Tupistra (3) The most primitive pollen in the subtribe Aspidistinae is regarded as monosulcate and ellipsoidal, having perforate or reticulate exine sculpture. The inaperturate, spheroidal pollen with verrucate, gemmate or rugulate exine sculpture is considered derived; (4) Unlike those reported in other groups of the family Liliaceae, the infraspecific pollen shape, aperture type and exine sculpture in Aspidistrinae are basically stable and may serve as a taxonomic character.
