[Objective] The research aimed to study a new whole clearing and preparation technology.[Method] After young seeds of Stephania sp.preserved in the alcohol solution,as well as the fresh pistil and nucellus of Sorghum bicolor were separated,they were soaked and cleared in the solution of 84 disinfectant.And the plant materials could be mounted by using three methods.[Result] The globular embryos and heart-shaped embryos at different stages of Stephania sp.as well as the pistil,nucellus,embryo sac,hypostase o...
[ Objective] The aim of this study was to solve the problem of photographing small flowers and fruits with a common digital camera in field. [Method] Firstly, the photographic mode of a common digital camera was set as "macro" (or "soft snap" ) and "flash off". Secondly, the small flower or fruit was magnified with a magnifying glass, and then the magnified flower or fruit was automatically focused with the digital camera lens. After automatic focusing, the shutter button was pressed and the photograph finished. [Result] With this method, the clear inflo- rescence or floral photographs of Eragrostis pilosa ( Gramineae ) , Bidens biternata (Compositae) and Tribulus terrester (Zygophllaceae) were obtained in field. [ Conclusion] The optical system of a digital camera has been changed by the magnifying glass, which improves the photographic function of a common digital camera to small flowers and fruits, and also easily gets their clear photographs.
[Objective] The aim of this study was to manually isolate the microstructures such as ovule and embryo of Capsella bursa-pastoris (L.) Medic. by the non-enzymatic method. [Method] With the gum block and dissecting microscope, its floral characteristics, ovule and embryo were manually isolated and observed by the non-enzymatic method. [Result] C. bursa-pastoris had four calyces, four petals, tetradynamous stamen and silicle, while its embryogenesis contained globular embryo, heart-shaped embryo and torpedo-shaped embryo. [Conclusion] The microstructures such as ovule and embryo of plants become easier to be isolated manually with the viscosity of gum block, which has small damage on embryo or disadvantages of keeping original shapes, and also can used in multi fields studies. This test can also be accomplished in labs with poor experiment facilities.
被子植物的胚珠微小,手工分离胚珠内的珠心比较困难(胡适宜,1994)。目前,人们多是借助于纤维素酶和果胶酶等的酶解技术,完成珠心、胚囊、卵细胞和合子等微小结构的人工分离(周嫦等,1982;Huang et al.,1990;Kovacs et al.,1994;Tian et al.,1997;杨弘远等,1998;2001;Uchiumi et al.,2006)。由于胚囊和合子经酶处理后,
