Karyomorphology of Sinadoxa (Adoxaceae) and its systematic significance

Karyomorphology of Sinadoxa corydalifolia and the karyotype of the diploid Adoxa moschatellina are investigated for the first time. Karyomorphological data indicate that Sinadoxa is directly akin to other two genera of the Adoxaceae, rather than related to Araliales; and three genera of the Adoxaceae should be a natural group. The karyomorphological combinations of the Adoxaceae delimit it from all taxa assumed to be related to it. The karyotype characteristics of all taxa of the Adoxaceae are compared and summarized. The mechanisms of speciation in the Adoxaceae are discussed.

黔西北土法炼锌区典型植物体内重金属的积累研究

对黔西北土法炼锌导致的重金属严重污染地区生长茂盛的自然植被及其根部土壤进行了重金属分析测试。土壤重金属形态用连续提取法区分为有效态和强结合态，结果发现植物体内的重金属含量与土壤中有效态的重金属含量成正比。所分析的4种植物体内的Pb、Zn、Cd含量表现为Zn>Pb>Cd。接骨草（Sambucus Chinensis）和柳叶苦荬菜（Ixeris gracilis）在体内富集、运输重金属元素的能力很强，是对污染区生态重建非常有前景的植物。
