国产贝母属（百合科）的系统学研究

作者通过实地调查，栽培观察，大量查阅标本，对国产贝母属(Fritillaria L.)的形态性状作了深入的分析，认为贝母属中植株大小，茎生叶先端卷曲与否，花的数目、花梗的长短、花被片颜色等性状易受生境的影响;而鳞茎所具鳞片的数目，植株最下一轮叶的形状及排列，花部蜜腺的形状，花柱柱头的分裂程度，雄蕊花丝在发育完后的长短，蒴果的形状等性状受生境的影响较小，但在栽培情况下，这些性状有时也会发生变化．此外，作者首次报道了部分国产贝母属种类的核型和花粉形态．在此基础上对我国贝母属进行了系统整理，将正式发表的138个分类名称（包括80个种、52个变种、5个变型、1个栽培变型）归并成24种l变种，并对国产贝母组(Seclion Fritillaria)的种间关系作了初步探讨;同时，对该属的次级分类也作了修订．根据有关，F.karelinii花粉学和细胞学资料，以及邻近4个种的形态特征及分布特点，我们支持J.G..Baker(1874)的观点将该类群保留在贝母属内而不同意A.S.Lozin-Lozinskaya(1935)，A.Takhtajan(1987)将其单立成属也不同意W.B.Turrill &J.R.Sealy(1980)将其并入贝母组(Sect.Fritillaria)，而将该类群做为贝母属中的一个新组——砂贝母组(Sect.Rhinopetalum (Fish. ex Alex.) Y.B.Luo)．并认为该组与贝母组关系较近．作者通过上述工作及查阅世界各地有关贝母属的文献，认为贝母属内最原始的类群是Sect. Fritillaria，而Sect.Petillium，Sect.Rhinopetalum和Sect.Theresia是演化水平中等的类群．Sect.Liliorhiza则是演化水平最高的一类．通过对该属组(Section)级及种级分布式样的分析，认为伊朗一土兰区不仅是组的多度中心，并且也是多样化中心;在种级水平上，地中海区是分布的多度中心，而种级多样化中心则在伊朗一土兰区;此外，在伊朗一土兰区还保留着一些较原始的类群，因而，该区可能是贝母属的起源中心，最后，作者对贝母属的起源时间、散布途径及现代分布格局形成的原因进行了初步探讨．

Germinating the seeds of three species of Pimelea sect. Epallage (Thymelaeaceae)1

Pimelea trichostachya Lindl., P. simplex F.Muell. and P. elongata Threlfall frequently cause pimelea poisoning of cattle. Fresh seeds of these species, belonging to sect. Epallage (Endl.) Benth. of Pimelea Gaertn. (Thymelaeaceae) are strongly dormant for years when in laboratory storage. Common methods of stimulating germination, such as scarification, dry heat and cold stratification, did not remove much of the dormancy. ‘Smoke water’ stimulated some germination but its effect was unpredictable and many seedlings then grew aberrantly. Exposure of imbibed seeds to gibberellic acid greatly and reliably improved the germination of all three species. However, the manner of application and the concentration of gibberellic acid used had to be appropriate or many young seedlings grew abnormally or died suddenly, limiting successful plant establishment rates. The dormancy type involved is non-deep Type 2 physiological. Ten days of good moisture, in addition to gibberellic acid exposure, is required before appreciable laboratory germination occurs at optimal temperatures. Thus, the mechanism by which gibberellic acid stimulates good germination does not appear to be the same as that which primes seeds for the rapid and prolific germination often seen under natural conditions in arid Australia. Seeds of P. simplex subsp. continua (J.M.Black) Threlfall proved most difficult to germinate and those of P. elongata the easiest.

中国郁金香属(广义)的系统学研究

郁金香属（Tulipa L.）是世界著名的观赏植物，广泛分布于欧洲、亚洲的温带地区以及非洲的西北部，中亚地区是其分布和多样化中心。该属包括老鸦瓣组、长柱组、郁金香组、毛蕊组、扭药组、鸡冠组和无毛组共七个组，40至150种。老鸦瓣组是东亚特有类群。中国共有郁金香属植物16种，主要分布于西北（新疆）以及中东部地区，其中老鸦瓣组有4个种，占该组全部种类的4/5。长期以来，由于对老鸦瓣组的生物学特性及其地理分布缺乏了解，该类群的归属问题一直都是该属系统学研究中争论的焦点之一。因此，本文以分布于我国的郁金香属作为主要研究对象，通过对其形态学、胚囊发育的比较胚胎学以及分子系统学研究，对老鸦瓣组的系统位置以及上述特征在该属分类中的意义进行了探讨。主要结果如下 1)通过对该属18种植物（包括土耳其的3个种）28个形态性状数据的分支分析，表明广义郁金香属并不是一个单系类群。Tulipa sect. Amana与该属其他四个组（sect. Orithyia、sect. Eriostemones、sect. Leiostemones和sect. Tulipanum）在分支树上各成一支，它们与Lloydia属构成一个大支的三个分支。同时，sect. Amana具有与子房近等长的花柱以及2-3（-4）个苞片等与郁金香属不同的形态特征。因此，我们认为sect. Amana应从广义郁金香属中独立出来，恢复其老鸦瓣属Amana Honda作为属的分类地位。 2)发现了一个新种：Amana kuocangshanica D.Y. Tan et D. Y. Hong。该种与A. erythronioides 和A. anhuiensis近缘，区别在于鳞茎皮内侧光滑无毛，下部叶披针形，自基部向上2/3处最宽，果喙长0.64±0.08 cm。 3）对16种植物叶表皮形态观察的结果表明，老鸦瓣属4个种的叶上表皮细胞为矩形或矩圆形、下表皮为菱形或矩形，垂周壁为直线形或波形，上表皮无气孔或气孔密度较小，这些特征与狭义郁金香属的种差异显著。在狭义郁金香属中，叶表皮特征在种间差异明显，可以作为分种及种间亲缘关系探讨的依据，但在组间没有明显的差异。 4）对19种植物的花粉形态观察表明，Amana属的4种为近椭球形、舟形和肾形， 外壁纹饰网状，网脊浅皱波状，与狭义郁金香属的15种具明显不同。在狭义郁金香属中，花粉外壁纹饰虽然在种间存在一定程度的差异，但对组的划分意义不大。 5）从种皮形态及微形态特征看，在所观察的16种植物中，Amana属的种子小，呈半月形，较厚，种柄明显，胚不易见;种皮纹饰为皱波状或不规则，与狭义郁金香属存在显著的差异。狭义郁金香属的12种在种皮纹饰、网眼大小及形状、网脊宽窄等方面均存在明显的差异，但组间无明显差别，说明这些特征在种的划分上具有一定的分类学意义。 6）对16种植物的胚囊发育过程观察表明：共有6种胚囊发育类型，即Fritillaria type、Drusa type、Tulipa iliensis type、Tulipa tetraphylla type、 Adoxa type和Eriostemones type。其中Tulipa iliensis type为所发现的一种新的胚囊发育类型。Tulipa iliensis、T. heterophylla和T. heteropetala3个种具有两种胚囊类型。在郁金香属中，胚囊的发育类型具有一定的系统学意义。 7）通过对21种郁金香以及猪牙花属2种植物基于nrDNA ITS区和cpDNA trnL-F 区的序列分析，发现广义郁金香属并非一单系类群，老鸦瓣属为猪牙花属的姐妹群。在狭义郁金香属中，sect. Orithyia、sect. Tulipanum以及sect. Eriostemones得到了该分子系统学分析的支持，而sect. Leiostemones是否成立及其系统关系问题尚有待于进一步研究。

中国后生耳蕨组Sect. Metapolystichum 的分类学研究

本文以形态特征为主，并参考其它证据，将中国Sect. Metapolystichum分为2个亚组，8个系，共记载45种2变种，其中新分类群21种1变种，新分布1种，新组合1个，并有11个新异名。对每种载有文献和标本引证及简要特征，新种则记有拉丁描述，并对某些疑难种进行了讨论。本文对叶表皮细胞的解剖研究表明，中国Sect.Metapolystichum植物气孔基本类型有两种，即十字型四细胞型和轴极型。各种植物的叶表皮细胞形态特征都不尽相同，有一定的分类学意义。作者对孢子形态的研究表明，中国Sect. Metapolystichum植物孢子周壁纹饰可分为八类，即波状、皱波状、条纹状、脑纹状、假网状、穴状、网状和复网状；在44种2变种中，孢子周壁纹饰表现出43种不同的形态。这一研究为分类上解决一些疑难问题、组下分类及系统发育研究提供了重要依据。本文中至少23种植物的孢子形态属首次报道。本文还根据中国Sect. Metapolystichum植物形态、解剖和孢子特征，遵循分支系统学的理论，借以确定了本组植物27个性状的极性；应用最大同步法（略有改进），通过简约性分析，构建了中国Sect. Metapolystichum植物有根的Wagnet树。作者对中国Sect. Metapolystichum植物的植物地理学特征也进行了分析，讨论了本组植物地理分布特征、间断分布现象、特有现象、替代现象、植物区系成分等，并就中国Sect. Metapolystichum植物区系进行了初步分区。

中国蔷薇属芹叶组（Rosa Sect. Pimpinellifoliae DC. ex Ser.）的分类学研究

本研究通过我国CDBI、 KUN、PE、SZ等主要标本馆约3, 500份馆藏标本的研究和野外考察相结合，对我国蔷薇属（Rosa L.）芹叶组(Sect. pimpinellifoliae DC. ex Ser.）植物以及相关组的一些种进行了性状特征、形态和微形态的研究，对该组的一些种的形态特征描述进行了补充，同时给出详细的地理和海拔范围分布图。综合花粉以及种子（瘦果）形态的研究结果重新制订了分种检索表，同时，对该组一些形态相近容易混淆的种进行了对比研究，特别对一直存在争议的绢毛复合体（绢毛蔷薇R. sericea Lindl.和峨眉蔷薇R. omeiensis Rolfe）进行了大量宏观形态特征的研究，并用光学显微镜（LM）和扫描电镜(SEM)对二者的花粉及种子形态、微形态进行对比研究和分析，主要研究内容包括： 1. 芹叶组孢粉研究 对芹叶组的10个种及相关的4个组共17个种（18个样品）的植物花粉进行了光镜和扫描电镜观察和比较研究。研究结果表明：蔷薇属植物花粉粒大小为中等偏小，极轴长23.98[21.82(R. graciliflora Rehd. et Wils.)～29.18(R. tsinglingensis Pax. et Hoffm.)] μm，赤道轴长28.65[24.15（R. graciliflora）～34.70(R. davidii Crép.)] μm；花粉属辐射对称等极单花粉，花粉形态赤道面观呈球形到超长球形；极面观为三裂圆形或近圆形,三孔沟，孔缘加厚,具中部突起的桥状盖。花粉外壁纹饰为条纹状，光镜下形态特征相差不大；在电镜下外壁条纹和脊沟内穿孔的形状、大小和频度等特征，常具组至种水平上的可见变异，可作为组至种水平划分的依据。 根据花粉外壁条纹特征及穿孔形状和数目等特征，本研究将这些植物的花粉归为5个类型，并编制了分组检索表。同时，根据条纹状的清晰度，排列方式、条纹形状、穿孔大小及其频度等方面的差异，各有特点，对该组的10个种编制了分种检索表。 2. 芹叶组种子形态研究 应用光学显微镜和扫描电镜对我国蔷薇属芹叶组14个种及相关组5个组共36种植物的种子宏观形态及种皮微形态特征进行了观察研究。结果显示，蔷薇属种子形态多样,形状分别为肾形、卵形或锥形等；种子颜色以淡棕色、褐色以及土黄色为主；种子大小种间相差悬殊，相对体积为（长×宽×厚）36.66（4.79～114.47) mm3。光镜下，种子宏观形态特征具组内一致性，在扫描电镜下种子表面结构特征因种而异，其纹饰以网纹为主，可分为3种类型，即近平滑型、负网纹型和网纹型。研究结果表明，蔷薇属种子表面纹饰与地理分布关系不大,具有组及种内稳定性。其种子形态、大小、表而纹饰类型等特征可作为蔷薇属组及种水平上的分类依据。 结合蔷薇属花粉形态研究结果，得出蔷薇属种皮微形态特征与花粉外壁纹饰特征相吻合，在代表组及种的特征上具相关性的结论。同时根据种子形态、微形态结构特征的组间区别和种间差异编制了分组及芹叶组14个种的分种检索表。 3. 绢毛蔷薇复合体的研究 通过对大量标本的研究、野外观察以及扫描电镜对绢毛蔷薇复合体的花粉形态和种皮表面结构进行研究，通过对小叶、花粉及种子的形态定量分析结果支持Rowley (1959)的观点，将峨眉蔷薇处理为绢毛蔷薇的一个变种。 综上研究结果得出，蔷薇属植物的小叶片数目、花被基数以及花粉及种子形态等性状是较为稳定的，这些特征可很好的作为分类学依据。 The morphology, pollen exine sculpture and seed coat structure of the species of Rosa sect. Pimpinellifoliae and related sections were studied.About 3,500 herbarium specimens at CDBI, KUN, PE, and SZ were examined. Field work in Sichuan and Yunnan were conducted. Revisions of some species were carried out and a new key to species of sect. Pimpinellifoliae was proposed based on morphology, pollen exine sculpture and seed coat structure, Detailed morphological descriptions, geographical distributions and the altitudinal ranges of some taxa are given. The systematics of the species complex, the Rosa sericea complex (R. sericea Lindl. & R. omeiensis Rolfe), was emphasized. This thesis focused on the following three aspects: 1. Pollen morphology of Rosa sect. Pimpinellifoliae The pollen morphology of 18 samples representing 10 species of the Eurasian Rosa sect. Pimpinellifoliae and 7 additional species of related sections was investigated under LM and SEM. The pollen grains are monadic, actinomorphic, equipolar, medium-sized, spheroidal to perprolate in equatorial view, 3-lobed circular or semi-circular in polar view, crassimarginate, pontoperculate, and with striate exine sculpture. The striate sculpture varies among sections and species. The equatorial axis ranges from 17.97 μm (R. sikangensis) to 29.18 μm (R. tsinglingensis) with an average of 23.98 μm in length, while polar axis varies from 24.15 μm (R. gracilifolra) to 34.70 μm (R. davidii) with an average of 28.65 μm in length. The pollens can be divided into five types based on striate sculpture and a key to the sections sampled was proposed accordingly. The pollen morphology of species of sect. Pimpinellifoliae is more homogeneous and different from other sections sampled and did not support the two-series subdivisions in sect. Pimpinellifoliae. A key is also provided based on characers of pollen morphology among species in sect. Pimpinellifoliae. 2. Seed coat structure of Rosa sect. Pimpinellifoliae The seed coat structure of 39 samples representing 14 species of Rosa sect. Pimpinellifoliae and 12 additional species of related sections was investigated under LE and SEM. The seed relative volume (Length × width × thickness) ranges from 4.79 to 114.47 mm3 with an average of 36.66. mm3. The seeds are reniform, ovate or oblong in shape, with orange-brown, light brown or deep brown color. Seed coat sculpture was reticulate or striate-like reticulate. There was no difference in sculpture character of various speices under LM, while three types of seed coat sculpture were identified under SEM and a key to species based on the seed coat sculpture was provided. The three types of seed coat sculpture were nearly smooth, areolate and reticulate. The study of the seed coat sculpture of same species sampled from different populations showed that characters on the seed coat are stable, and thus the size, shape and seed coat sculpture can be used in species level identification. Interestingly, characters in the seed coat sculpture and the pollen morphology in sect. Pimpinellifoliae are consistent at in specific or sectional levels. A key to the 14 species sampled was given based on seed coat sculpture. 3. The study on Rosa sericea complex The Rosa sericea complex contains R. omeiensis and R. sericea. They are morphologically similar to one another and the systematic status of R. omeiensis has been controversial. In this study we examined large numbers of herbarium specimens of R. omeiensis and R. sericea and conducted field observations in the Hengduan Mts.. We also performed SEM study of pollen morphology and seed coat structure of R. omeiensis and R. sericea. We further carried out intensive morphometric study on the leaflet, pollen, and seed morphology. Our results showed that R. omeiensis should be sunk to be a variety of R. sericea, just as Rowley’s treatment in 1959. In conclusion, the features in the number of leaflet and petal, and the morphological character on pollen and seed are relatively stable. Therefore these characters are very useful in taxon delimition.

Phylogenetic analyses of Saussurea sect. Pseudoeriocoryne (Asteraceae : Cardueae) based on chloroplast DNA trnL-F sequences

The genus Saussurea is distributed mainly in the temperate and subarctic regions of Eurasia and consists of about 300 species classified into six subgenera and 20 sections. Sect. Pseudoeriocoryne in the subgenus Eriocoryne comprises four species, and is delimited mainly by acaulescence and an inflorescence with congested capitula surrounded by a rosette of leaves. All of these species are endemic to the and Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. Sequences from the chloroplast DNA trnL-F region were obtained for the four species in this section and 26 other species from four subgenera of Saussurea to resolve phylogenetic relationships among these species and to determine whether the shared characters that define sect. Pseudoeriocoryne are synapomorphic or were acquired by convergent evolution. The resulting phylogenies indicated that Saussurea sect. Pseudoeriocoryne as traditionally defined does not constitute a monophyletic group and that each of its species belongs to separate clades. Furthermore, none of these species showed a close relationship with the other species of subgenus Eriocoryne. Our results further indicated that none of the investigated subgenera are monophyletic, and that species from different subgenera clustered together. All these conclusions are provisional and their confirmation would require stronger phylogenetic support. Two possible explanations are suggested for low sequence divergence, poor resolution of internal clades and clustering of species with the rather distinct morphology of Saussurea detected in the present study. The first is rapid radiation and diversification triggered by fast habitat fragmentation due to the recent lifting of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Quaternary climate oscillations. This could have led to rapid morphological divergence while sequences diverged very little, and also caused the convergent acquisition of similar characteristics in unrelated lineages due to similar selection pressures. The second possible explanation is that both introgressive hybridization and reticulate evolution might have caused the transferring of cpDNA sequences between morphologically dissimilar species, thus leading to homogenization of sequences between lineages.
