    Possible mechanisms involved with the formation of leaf callus
    ZU Yuan-Gang, YU Jing-Hua, TANG Zhong-Hua, MENG Qing-Huan
    Bulletin of Botanical Research    2005, 25 (1): 1-2.   DOI: 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2005.01.001

    This paper attempted to illustrate the mechanisms of callus formation of plant leaf. The theory was proposed that the acid material in the culture medium maintained the plant leaf in the acid environment, and this led to fast degradation of cell wall, breaking away of protoplast from the cell wall. These free protoplasts will aggregation into callus, without fixed organization and functions and being ready to recombine or rebuild for the further differentiation. The acid condition in the culture medium played the most important role in the dedifferentiation of leaves and in the formation of callus, during this course plant cell wall was presumed to serve as signal carrier controlling the cell to finish the normal cell's cycle, not only as the inactive coat of cells.

The results of research on the distribution of the genera and species of Gramineae in the Karakorum and KunlunMountains show that (1) The Gramineae mainly contains elements of North Temperate, rich Old Word Temperate and other Temperate. It is obvious that the floristic nature of Gramineae in the Karakorum and Kunlun Mountains is the North Temperate;(2) All Pantropic genera can stretch to the Temperate Zone in this region, which all parts of the Pantropic type are the Temperate nature to a certain degree. For example, Erianthus ravennae from mediterranean to the Karakorum and KunlunMountains through the Central Asia;(3) As most genera of Grasses are the type of Temperate and the Frigid Zone, they have distinct floristic characteristics of mountainous and plateau flora such as Orinus, Alopecurus, Elymus, Trisetum, Littledalea, Elytrigia, Stephanachne and Paracolpodium etc. All of these indicate adaptive phenomenon of alpine specialization and cold-xerophilization on Grasses in this area;(4) Endemic genus of Gramineae is absent due to its nature and history and the endemic species are also rare in the Karakorum and Kunlun Mountains. Most of the genera with one or fewer species have originated from its relative and widespread genera, such as Ptilagrostis from Stipa, Timouria from Achnatherum, and so on;(5) Flora of the Karakorum and KunlunMountains is most closely related to the flora of Tibet, and is also extensively to its adjacent areas.

    During the course of plant tissue culture, Camptotheca acuminata leaf explants were observed on anatomy characteristics. We found that cell wall of C. acuminata leaves presented anatomy characteristic of weakly degrading, obviously degrading, totally degrading and cell wall disappearance under tissue culture conditions. Cell wall of identical C. acuminata leaf exhibited distinct properties in their degree of degradation and even disappearing at the same condition of tissue culture. It may be the upper epidermis protruding to influence different contacts position with culture medium and make acid material of culture medium to cause different position of C. acuminata leaf explants to appear heterogeneity.

    We did a series of studies on megasporogenesis, microsporogenesis and the development of female and male gametophyte of Tamarix chinensis by means of traditional paraffin wax sections. The relationships between floral bud size and development of stamen and pistil are also observed. The main results are as follows: Several rows of hypodermal archesporial cells differentiate in each lobe of young four-lobed anther. The wall of anther consists of five layers: epidermis, endothecium, two middle layers and tapetum from out to inside, which belongs to basic type. Tapetum cell is of secretory type. Cytokinesis of microsporocyte meiotic division is of simultaneous type and the tetrads are tetrahedral. Meiotic division of microsporocyte develops synchronously in each microsporangium of an anther. The pollen grains are three-colpate and two-celled at the dispersal stage. There is an unilocular ovary that contains three fused carpels in one flower and each ovary has 10~20 ovules. Ovules occur at the base of ovary, which is basal placentation. The ovule is bitegmic, crassinucellate and anatropous. The megaspore mother cell undergoes meiotic divisions, and the development of the embryo sac is of Fritillaria type. In mature embryo sac, antipodal cells are well developed. Early in floral bud, archesporial cells of anther differentiate earlier than that of ovule. When the stamen matures, the pistil matures either. They are nearly synchronous at this time.

    Effects of different light intensity after low night temperature stress on PSII functions and absorbed light allocation in leaves of Ficus microcarpa
    HUWen-Hai, XIAO Yi-An, YU Jing-Quan, HUANG Li-Feng
    Bulletin of Botanical Research    2005, 25 (2): 159-162.   DOI: 10.7525/j.issn.1673-5102.2005.02.011

    In this study, the effects of full sunlight and shade after natural low night temperature on PSII functions and light allocation in leaves of Ficus microcarpa was examined. Under full sunlight after low night temperature, the allocation of light absorbed by PSII antennae to the photochemical reaction decreased, but the allocation of absorbed light to thermal dissipation and excessive energy increased. So it resulted the decrease of the PSII functions. Though the allocation of absorbed light to thermal dissipation decreased, shade after low night temperature can decrease excessive energy of PSII reaction centers by increase of fraction of light absorbed in PSII antennae that was utilized in PSII photochemistry, and protect the photosynthetic apparatus not to be injured. So shade after low night temperature was beneficial to recover PSII functions.

    Photosynthetic properties were investigated in two newly-developed high-yield wheat ( Triticum aesticum L.) varieties, Ningmai 8 and Ningmai 9, in order to elucidate both photosynthetic decline of flag leaf senescence, and variety differences. The results showed that, after anthesis, with increasing ear mass and specific leaf mass, there were decreases in relative water content, chlorophyll content, light-saturated net photosynthetic rate ( P nmax), light saturation point ( LSP), apparent quantum yield ( AQY), and electron transfer activities of PSI, PSII and whole electron transport chain, especially significant after yellow ripening, whereas ratio of chl a/b, light compensation point ( LCP) and respiration rate ( R d) were gradually increased from anthesis to yellow ripening, and after that rose markedly. The findings here indicated that before yellow ripening, P nmax decreased slowly with wider range of light availability, and after that P nmax dropped quickly with less range of light availability. Compared with Ningmai 8, Ningmai 9 with higher yield showed earlier senescence in flag leaves.
