摘要
研究了中国荞麦属FagopyrumMill.的花粉形态、花被片和果实微形态特征。根据沟膜的有无 ,花粉可以明显地区分为具沟膜者和不具沟膜者 2类。透射电镜下显示 ,荞麦F .esculentumMoench的花粉外壁分化成两个明显的层次 ,即外壁外层和外壁内层。其外壁外层由覆盖层及柱状层组成 ,无基层。对花被片腹面的扫描电镜观察表明 ,根据细胞形状和表面纹饰 ,这些种类的花被片可分为 3类。对果实表面的扫描电镜观察表明 ,这些种类的果实纹饰也可分为 3类。根据上述结果 ,讨论了荞麦属的种间关系及花粉形态、花被片和果实一些微观性状的演化趋势。荞麦属的花粉形态极为一致 ,其外壁纹饰均为细网状 ,萌发孔为三孔沟 ,这支持将荞麦属从蓼属中分出独立成属的观点。本文还根据花粉形态特征及花被片和果实微形态特征讨论了国产荞麦属的种间关系 ,探讨了一些特征的演化趋势。
Pollen morphology, and tepal and fruit microcharacteristics of the genus Fagopyrum Mill. (Polygonaceae) front China have been Investigated. pollen grains of ten species and one variety were observed under both light microscope (LM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). They are prolate, or often subprotate/prolate to spheroidal in shape, and elliptical front equatorial view, circular front polar view, with their germination aperture being all 3-colporate. Based on the presence or absence of colpus membrane, two types of pollen grains can be recognized in the species Studied. In type 1, the colpus membrane is visible, and often beset with coarse granules. Four species, F. dibotrys ( D. Don) Hara, F. esculentum, Moench, F. tataricum ( L.) Gaertn., and F. statice (Levl.) H. Gross, have this type of pollen grains. In type 11, the colpus membrane is invisible. Six species and one variety, F. gracilipes (Hemsl.) Damm. ex Diels, F. leptopodum (Diels) Hedb., F. leptopodum var. grossii (Levl.) Lauener et Ferguson, F. urophyllum ( Bur. et Franch.) H. Gross, F. caudatum ( Sam). A. J. Li, F. gilesii ( Hemsl.) Hedb., and F. lineare (Sam.) Harald., have this type of pollen grains. The exine ornamentation in all the species studied is finely reticulate. The exine is very thick. The sexine is thicker than the nexine. The columellae are high, usually branched, and rounded at top in cross-section. The lectum is semi-tectate. To further study the exine ultrastructure, pollen grains of F. esculentum were examined under transmission electron microscope (TEM). The exine is clearly stratified into ectexine and endexine and the ectexine possesses tectum and columellae, but no foot layer. Adaxial tepal surface of the ten,pes are recognized species and one variety was observed under SEM. Three tepal types based on the shape of epidermal cells and the surface ornamentation. In type 1, the epidermal cells are mostly rectangular to narrowly rectangular, with the anticlinal walls being straight or slightly undulating, and the cuticular layer being longitudinally and undulately striate. This tepal type is found to occur in F. statice and F. urophyllum. In type 11, the epidermal cells are elongated and irregular in shape, and strongly ridged, with the anticlinal walls being deeply or shallowly undulating, and the cuticular layer being irregularly and undulately striate. This tepal type is found to occur in F. caudatum, F. lineare, F. gracilipes and F. gilestii. In type 111, the epidermal cells are irregular in shape, and are papillose, with the anticlinal walls being straight and prominent, and the cuticular layer being densely and longitudinally striate. This type is found to occur in F. dibotrys, F. esculentum, F. tataricum and F. leptopodum. Fruit surface in the ten species and one variety was observed under SEM. Based on the surface ornamentation, the fruits can be divided into three types. In type 1, the fruit surface is striate. This type is found to occur in F. statice, F. caudatum I F. gilesii and F. lineare. In type 11, the fruit surface is warty granular, and sparsely striate among the granules. This type is found to occur in F. gracilipes, F. Leptopodum, F. leptopodum var. grossii and F. urophyllum. In type 111, the fruit surface is rugosely striate or striate-reticulate. This type is found to occur in F. dibotrys, F. esculentum and F. tataricum. Evidence from pollen morphology supports the separation of Fagopyrum from Polygonum as an independent genus. Relationships of the Fagopyrum species studied are discussed based on evidence from pollen morphology, and from tepal and fruit microcharacteristics. Brief speculation on the evolutionary trends of pollen, tepal and fruit microcharacteristics in the genus Fagopyrum is made.
