    The induction of vascular tissues in graft unions by IAA zeatin (ZT) was studied by using explanted internode autografting of cucumber(Cucumis sativus) cultured in vitro. Exogenous hormones were the limiting and controlling factors for vascular bundle regeneration in the graft unions. Vascular development ,such as formation time and total amount of vascular bridges as well as tracheary elements(TE) between stocks and scions,depended on the concentrations and the kinds of exogenous homones. Explanted internode autografting is one of ideal systems for studying the vascular tissue differentiation.

    The factors affecting Agrobacterium -mediated gene -transformation of epicotyls of Citrus in viro are studied in this papre .Transgenic Poncitrus trifoliata with CTV-cp gene were obtained. The main results are as follows:As a selectable agent,concentration of Kanamycin is 20-30 μg/mL for Citrus except P.trifoliata,which is 50 μg/mL. The optimal cocultivation time of explants & Agrobacterium is 3 days. Gus transient expression frequency was promoted ,when the concentration of acetosyingone is 70-100 μmol /L. Gustransient expression frequency is higher in epicotyle from 20d seedling. Under the same transformation conditon, the rate of explant with resistant shoot and the rate of explant with Gus positive shoot are different in different Citrus species. Extral gene is proved to be into P.trfoliata by southern blot examination with probe of plasmind pGA482GG cut by Nco IE.

    The C-banding patterns in 8 populations of Paeonia delavayi var.lutea were investigated by using a modified BSG technique. Each population examined here showed there were C-bands at the centromeric regions of all ten chromosomes. However, C-bands were not observed on long arms of any chromoseme. There are differences in the C-band numbers and positions in the terminal regions on the short arms. In Ludian population ,C-band occupies one termical region on the short arms of the first and 4th paris of chromosomes respectively,which means the homologus chromosomes of the first and 4th pair of chromosomes are heterogeneous.Each population has the unique C-banding pattern except two populations of Xishan and Liangwangshan,which share the same C-bading pattern. Namely, there are 7 C-banding patterns in 8 populations examined here. The diversity of C-banding patterns indicated that the genetic diversity occurs in P.delavayi var.lutea.

    The plastids of tapetal cells of Euryale ferox in microspore mother cell stage appera changes in shape apparently. Two nuclei in a cell are always adhere to each other or in a state of mosaic. Well-developed plasmodesmata appear between the middle wall layers of two adjacent cells.During meiotic cell division stage,wall of tapetal cells dissociated and disappears,plasmodesmata break down,asynchronus condition occures in cell development. Deposition of starch in plastids initates at this stage. Part of plastids vacuolated with invagination of plastid membrance,with possess the same function as that of vacuole in the cell.In tetrad stage,the structures of tapetal cell begin to dissociate.

    Abstract ( 5090) Download PDF ( 2648 ) HTML   Knowledge map   Save
    The embryology of Kobresia was studied preliminarily.The development of megaspore and microspore,as well as the structure of ovule,is identical to that of other groups in Cyperaceae. The pollen of genus is pseudomonad,the embryo sac is of Polygonum type,the endosperm is of nuclear type,and the embryogeny is of the Juncus variation of Onagrad type. These embryological characters are agreeable with those of the Cyperaceae. Therefore,the family Kobresia and its related genera(Carex,Schoenoxiphuim and Uncinia) should be retained in the family Cyperaceae other than raised as a separate family,Kobresiaceae.

    Kengyilia stenachyra is a hexaploid perennial plant in the tribe Triticeae native to west China. K.stenachyra was hybridized with Elymus caninus,Roegeneria kamoji and K.hirsuta. The chromosome pairing behavior at metaphase I in the parents and hybirds was observed. Meiotic configurations are 23.79I+5.20II+0.27III for E.caninus×K.stenachyra,18.23I+11.68II+0.06III＋0.06IV for R.kamoji×K.stenachyra,and 4.83I+17.31II+0.55III+0.20lV＋0.02V for K.hirsuta×K.stenachyra. Based on the chromosome pairing in the hybrids,and species morphology,K.stenachyra should be correctly grouped in Kengyilia rather than in Roegneria.

    The pollen of 12 species from 10 genera,Kerria,Fillipendula,Rubus,Dryas,Geum,Potentilla,Sibbaldia,Agrimonia,Spenceria and Sanguisorba in Rosoidea(Rosaceae) in China systematically are studied in the present paaper.The above genera are with tricolporate pollen grains.The shaps of the pollen grains vary from subspheroidal to prolate.The pollen grain size is (16.06-31.88)μm×(15.03-35.70)μm. Amb 3-lobed cirular,colpi usually long but narrowed in two ends,rectangular form.The pollen grains of Sanguisorba filiformis are special for its ver wide central party,and covering with elliptic colpal membrance. Sculptural types of the subfamily Rosoideae are presented as bellow:foveolate,foveolate-striate,striate-reticulate,striate and spinulate. The sculptural categories of pollens in Rosoideae are the most complicated,compared with other subfamily in Rosaceae. Together with the stdies of the pollen morphology concerned in the subfamily of Rosoideae,several systematic questions are discussed.

    The population composition and seasonal variation of VA mycorrhizal fungi spores in the rhizosphere soil of four mycorrhized plants which were transplanted in the greenhouse from the field were studied.It was found that the sporulation of VA mycorrhizal fungi was obviously with host-dependence and seasonal variation.The composition of VA mycorrhizal fungi population differed in the rhizosphere soil of different host plants.The spore abundance of the same species of VAmycorrhizal fungus was dignificantly different in the rhizosphere soil of different hosts which were grown in the same habitat.The factors that affect spore population composition and seasonal variation of VA mycorrhizal fungi were discussed in this article.

    This paper is developed from the previous pubication,Biological Effect of Shan-Malay Plate Displacement(the Movement of Burma-Malaya Geoblock) on Dulong River Flora(published in this journal in 1994.After more than four years of careful dtudy,we have expanded the scope to some of the flora and fauna of the Gaoligong Mountains and then to the biota of the East Himalayas and the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau.The results from this re-examination of the biological effects of plate movement indicate that plate displacement had a series of isolating geographical effects on the occurrence,evolution,and distribution of the flora and fauna in this region ,resulting in the Gaoligong Mountains vecoming an area with a distinct and divers biota which is ancestral to the biota of the East Himalayas.
