The process of sex differentiation of Acer truncatum, an andromonoecious woody plant, was morphologically and cytologically observed. Results showed that at early phase of sex differentiation, both pistil and stamen primordia could be found in male and bisexual flower buds, but selective abortion occurred in the pistil primordia of male flowers when macrosporocytes developed to megaspore tetrads. Pistils of bisexual flowers could develop and set fruits normally, and the stamens could produce mature two-celled pollen but the pollen could not dehisce. It is suggested that the failure of anthers of bisexual flowers to dehisce might be caused by the low lignification in fibrous layer.

The morphological features and anatomical structures of Tugarinovia mongolica were studied by means of traditional paraffin wax sections. The result showed: The leaf belongs to equilateral leaf. Each epidermis consists of a row of epidermis cells, which are arranged closely. There are many irregular stomata which exist in both higher and lower epidermis. Its palisade tissue is composed of 1 layer cells and the spongy tissue consists of 2~3 layers cells which arranged loosely. The primary structure of stem consists of epidermis, cortex and vascular cylinder. The developed pith is in the center of stem. But the root does not have this structure, which contains periderm, cortex and vascular cylinder. Many secretory structures exist in parenchyma of the root and stem. It was found that the vegetative organs of T. mongolica contain proteins by the reaction of coomassie brilliant blue. In addition, it was discussed that these structures were in conformity with the ecological environment it was located.

The leaf epidermis of 108 samples belonging to Kadsura Kaempf. ex. Juss. (eleven species) and Illicium Linn. (two species) are described using light and scanning electron microscopy. Several characters, such as pattern of epidermal cells, shape of stomatal apparatus, cuticular ornamentations, shape of cuticular intrusions at the polar region of guard cell, hair on epidermis, etc., are constant in some species and variable in others, and thus of considerable taxonomic value for studying the phylogenetic relationships within Kadsura and among Kadsura, Schisandra Michaux and Illicium Linn. A new character, cuticular reticulations that has not been reported previously in the order Illiciales is revealed in the study, which is congruent with the taxonomic assignment of two distinct subgenera (Subg. Cosbaea and Subg. Kadsura) in Kadsura. These characters of leaf epidermis sustain the subdivision of Subg. Kadsura into Sect. Kadsura and Sect. Sarcocarpon, and also support the combinations of some species by R. M. K. Saunders and Q. Lin. Moreover, stomata and other epidermal characters suggest close phylogenetic affinities of Kadsura, Schisandra and Illicium, whereas Kadsura seems more complex than Schisandra and Illicium on the basis of the characters of leaf epidermis. Evidence from leaf epidermis serves as a criterion for negating the separation of Schisandraceae from Illiciales as Schisandrales.

The floral traits and pollination system of Impatiens chinensis were studied. Individual flowers bloom for 2.3 days and the male phase was 6.8 times as long as female phase. The nectar quantity and sugar concentration is 0.56 μL and 28.2%, respectively. Stigma is receptive on the day of anthesis. Pollen viability is highest on the moment of corolla displaying（95%）, thereafter decreases gradually and maintains a considerable level until the flower drops（55%）. The results of P/O detection (5 730.3±2 941.1) and bagging treatments suggest that I. chinensis is self-compatible with facultative xenogamy breeding system, its outcross-pollination require pollinators. I. chinensis is mainly visited by honey-bees, butterflies, bumble-bees and several species in ceratina(Apidae). Bombus trifasciatus is the dominant pollinator. The nectar robber Amegilla caldwelli may be the most important biological factor which influences the sexual reproduction of I. chinensis except for the legitimate visitors.

We investigated the reproductive ecology of Chirita gueilinensis in different habitats populations (YZ population,semi-wild,at the sunny cracks and crevices of calcareous rocks with little soil; DB population,at the rupicolous in a cave). Our results indicated that: (1)Flowering took place from late February to middle April,and anthesis of a single flower lasted 10~17 days in YZ population and 16~24 days in DB population depending on environmental conditions. (2)The pollen-ovule ratio(P/O) is different in the two populations,and we noted larger variation in pollen than ovule production,which may be related to habitats. (3)Breeding experiments showed that C. gueilinensis is facultative xenogamy by insects and no agamospermy. (4)There were limitations both in pollination and ripening of seeds,which resulted in a low seed-setting ratio(<45%) for all artificial treatments and natural pollination. (5)Chalcididae sp.and Amegilla albigena(Lepeletier) （DB population） or Apis cerana Fabricius (YZ population) were main pollinators of C. gueilinensis. (6)The reproductive investment per plant increased but the reproductive allocation decreased with increased individual size. （7）Plants in YZ population obtained more available resources from environment and greater reproductive investment than plants in DB population,this indicated that reproductive investment was relatively favored by plants from YZ population, whereas vegetative propagation was favored by plants from DB population to obtain more resources from the environment.

Based on the surveyed data of Helianthemum ordosicum population in different slope positions, the age structure, the static life table, survival curve and mortality curve and vanish rate curve ware analyzed. Additionally, the survival functions were also analyzed. The results indicated that age structure of H. ordosicum in different slope positions exists the trend of decline. The number of young-age individuals accounts a small proportion of total population, that of the middle-age occupies big proportion. The H. ordosicum population density differ in different slope positions, with the characteristics of the biggest population density in upper slope position, less in middle slope position and least in lower slope position. The expectant life span of the first-age H. ordosicum population in different slope positions is maximum, and the fluctuation of expectant life span exists in fifth-age or sixth-age population. The survivorship curves of the H. ordosicum population in different slope positions belong to Deevy Ⅱ～Ⅲ type as a whole. One peak of the mortality rate exists from sixth-age to eighth-age, that on the middle and lower slope position is one age class later than that on the upper slope position. These four function values from the survival analysis could be well used to analyze the structure and dynamic change of H. ordosicum population in different slope positions.

The photosynthetic characteristics of Caragana davazamcii plants of different ages were investigated. The net Photosynthetic rate(P_n) and transpiration rate(T_r) of mid-aged plants(5 years old) were higher than those of senile plants(24 years old). The decrease of P_n in senile plants between 12:00-14:00 was caused by non-stomatal factors that impaired photosystem Ⅱand photosynthetic capacity of the leaves, while that in mid-aged plants was a consequence of both stomatal and non-stomatal inhibition. The determination of photosynthetic pigment contents showed that the contents of chlorophyll and carotenoid in mid-aged plants were significantly higher than those in senile plants, so that the mid-aged plants had higher P_n, LUE and capcity of intensive radiation adaptation. In addition, the mid-aged plants had higher WUE, which made them more tolerant to drought, so the mid-aged plants were able to adapt to the local envioronments with high temperature and severe drought.

Iris lactea Pall. var. chinensis(Fisch.) Kordz. is a kind of water-saving, ornamental, medicinal and fodder plants with excellent characteristics. In this paper, the mature seeds were used as the explants, and the combining medium schemes for inducing callus, differentiation and rooting, etc. were designed with different concentration of 2,4-D, NAA, BA, KT based on the MS culture medium, and the system of tissue culture and rapid propagation of I. lactea was studied. The results showed that the variable ratio of hormones had the great effects on the rates of callus, and the mediums of MS+2,4-D 4 mg·L^-1+BA2 mg·L^-1、MS+2,4-D 4 mg·L^-1+BA5 mg·L^-1 and MS+2,4-D 2 mg·L^-1+KT1.5 mg·L^-1 could give higher rates of callus (more than 58%) than others, so they were thought as the greatest combining schemes. MS+BA4 mg·L^-1 and MS+BA1 mg·L^-1+NAA0.15 mg·L^-1 were the optimal schemes for the differentiation of callus. The optimal regeneration and enrichment culture mediums were MS+BA2 mg·L^-1+NAA0.1 mg·L^-1 and MS+BA1 mg·L^-1+NAA0.2 mg·L^-1. The best medium for rooting was 1/2MS, and the schemes of 1/2MS+IBA0.5 mg·L^-1, 1/2MS+IBA 0.5 mg·L^-1+NAA0.5 mg·L^-1 could also have good effects on the rootgrowth. The rooting plantlets were easily planted on the mixed medium of V_soil∶V_sand=2∶1 without any training. Therefore, the available system of tissue culture and rapid propagation for I. lactea was established including the mature embryo-inducing of callus-differentiation and regeneration of plantlets-propagation-rootingtransplanting.

Chlorophyll and carotenoids measurement by dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and acetone extractions are two typical and popular methods used in plant ecophysiological research. However, few studies on the comparability between these two methods have been carried out. To answer this question, the contents of pigments in leaves and young branches of 19 woody species were measured in this study and we found the following conclusions. Firstly, chlorophyll a (Chla), Chlb and total chlorophyll contents measured by the DMSO method were much higher than those measured by the acetone method, however, the result of Chla/b ratio was slightly affected. Contrarily, carotenoids contents measured by the acetone method were much higher than those measured by DMSO method. Direct comparison of these data will make serious bias; Secondly, both chlorophyll data and carotenoids data measured by these two methods were significantly linearly correlated. Thus, it is possible to use these linear relations to make data correction in comparative studies; Thirdly, unit differences also affect the data correlations of these two methods. When using the unit of fresh mass, the correlation was much higher than that unit of surface area; Fourthly, the influences of these two methods on the data precision differed between leaves and branches. In the case of branches (low chlorophylls), two methods give slightly difference. However, the difference was much significant in the case of leaves (high chlorophylls). The possible reason may attribute to the extracting efficiency of DMSO is much higher than acetone. Finally, spectrophotometer precision (0.1 and 1 nm) were strongly affected the result of different pigments measured by DMSO method. The 0.1 nm spectrophotometer produced 15%~33% higher concentration of Chla, Chla+b and carotenoids, but a 4% lower concentration of Chlb although all the correlation coefficient R² of two equipments were over 0.99. Our above methodological findings may provide a basis for pigments comparison in physiological field.

To fully use Crataegus leaves resources, experiment was conducted with C. chlorosarca Maxim. leaves as materials. The HPLC conditions with ZORBAX Extend-C18 column（250×4.6 mm，5 μm）was used, the mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile -0.5% phosphoric acid with gradient elution at flow rate of 1.0 mL·min^-1, the detection wavelength was set at 345 nm and the column temperature was 25℃ to develop a HPLC method for the quantitative analysis of vitexin, rhamnosylvitexin, hyperoside, rutin and quercetin.The results showed that the RSD of precision,reproducibility, stability and recovery results of five flavonoids was not exceed 3%. The methods is accurate and reliable. The main flavonoids of C. chlorosarca Maxim. were vitexin and hyperoside, whose changes were similar to that of the total flavonoids, and the highest contents were in October. The quality of leaves from C. chlorosarca Maxim. picked in October consistents with China Phamacopeia, so C. chlorosarca Maxim. can be used as a new medical resource.

The volatile oil of early maturity gold pomelo peel was extracted by watersteaming method. The extraction process was optimized by orthogonal design. The optimum extracting condition obtained: adding 5 folds of water, extracting for 6 hours after smashing 60s. The chemical components were first analyzed by means of GC-MS. Twenty-five components, 98.43% of total content, had been identified from forty-four separated peaks. The main components were Limonene(65.82%), β-Myrcene(25.52%), 4-Thujene(1.78%), Perillene(0.44%), Linalool oxide(0.42%).
