摘要:

白皮松成熟胚的显著特点是苗端发达,胚苗端的H/D(高度与直径)比率平均为0.83,
  有时达0.96,为松柏类植物所罕见。它的苗端可分为四个细胞区:顶端原始细胞、中央母细
  胞、周缘组织和肋状分生组织区。在肋状分生组织与下胚轴的髓之间,有一过渡组织区。
      从成熟胚的结构来看,松科成熟胚基本上可以分为3种类型:1.子叶特别发达,但下胚轴
短; 2.下胚轴与根冠近等长; 3.下胚轴比较发达,白皮松就是这种类型。

Abstract:

Except for Pseudolarix, which is endemic to China, the late embryogeny of ten
genera of Pinaceae has been reported before in the diffferent degree.  Among them the mature
embryos of Keteleeria evelyniana are different from those of the others in having well-developed
cotyledons and a very short hypocotyl.  As far as information we have is concerned there are
three types in structure of the mature embryos of Pinaceae.  The first type occurs in Keteleeria
and Cedrus, which have very well-developed cotyledons; the second one appears in Picea and
Larix, in which the hypocotyl and the root cap are equal in length; the third one, to which
Pinus bungeana belongs, includes all the other genera of Pinaceae.  The last type is of a promi-
nent hypocotyl in the mature embryos.  It is interesting to note that the mature embryos of Tor-
reya grandis and Keteleeria evelyniana are very similar in having specially developed cotyle-
dons, while the proportions of the various tissues in the mature embryo in Fokienia of Cupres-
saceae as well as Taxus and Amentotaxus of Taxaceae are similar to those of Pinus bungeana.
The pith and secretory cells are usually present in the mature embryos of Pinaceae.  Although
no pith is present in those of Metasequoia and Taiwania of Taxodiaceae, the secretory cells ge-
nerally occur in their embryos in Fokienia of Cupressaceae and Taxus and Pseudotaxus of Ta-
xaceae, neither pith nor secretory cells are present in their hypocotyl.  From above, the struc-
tures of mature embryos among Pinaceae, Taxodiaceae and Cupressaceae are different from one
another to some degree.
      The most outstanding feature of the matur  embryos in Pinus bungeana is that the shoot
apex is very well developed, with a high H/D ratio, about 0.83 on an average, even up to 0.96
in some case. Above-mentioned H/D ratio of Pinus bungeana is rare in the mature embryos of
conifers.  Gifford (1943) reports that the average H/D ratio of shoot apex of Ephedra altissima
is from 0.44 to 0.68, while in 5-year-old branch apex of Pinus ponderosa, the average ratio is
about 0.25, and that in l5-year-old branch apex is about 0.35.  For the apex of the dormant
short shoots of Pinus densiflora the average ratio is about 0.35, but that of shoot apex is about
0.52 when new buds have just formed.  According to the present data about shoot apices of both
branches and mature embryos, the average ratio of shoot apex of mature embryos in Pinus bun-
geana is the largest one.  From the present investigation the shoot apex of mature embryos of
Pinus bungeana exhibits four distinct tissue zones, i.e. the apical initials, the central mother cell
zone, the peripheral tissue zone and the rib meristem.  It is worthy of note that the shoot apex
of Pinus strobus may be divided into five zones, including transition zone between central mother
cells and rib meristem (Owston, 1968).   Four zones are recognized in the shoot apex of
Pinus lambertiana and P. ponderosa, without transition one (Sacher, 1954).  From cytological
zonation, the shoot apex of mature embryos in Pinus bungeana is rather similar to that of Pinus
lambertiana and P. ponderosa.
