摘要: 澳古茨藻(Najas oguraensis Miki)是典型的水下水媒传粉植物。雄花在花粉释放前2-4h花梗迅速伸长,突破膜质鞘状外被,并且向外弯曲,至花粉释放盛期几乎是水平状态,有利于释放后的花粉直接进入水流以求传播。花部组成与结构极为简化,花粉中富含淀粉粒,花粉落置柱头前常萌发出长的花粉管,形成宜为柱头捕获的花粉笺,表现出对水下水媒传粉的高度适应。有性繁殖十分发达,自交、异交和混交的结实率都在85%以上;花粉/胚珠(P/O)为2690±300,指示兼性自交的繁育系统。无性繁殖较弱,仅以易长不定根的植株片段形式存在,但仍对该种的扩散具有重要意义。作者对澳古茨藻的花生物学特征、传粉机制以及繁育系统进行了探讨,对澳古茨藻表现出的许多沉水植物所特有的特征特性:花被的简化、花粉外壁的简化作了解释,讨论了繁育系统中自交与异交的关系。Abstract: In this paper, the floral biological characters, pollination mechanism andbreeding system of Najas oguraensis Miki were primacily studied. A typicalsubmerged plant the pollination of the species occurs totally in water. In 2-4 hoursbefore the release of pollen, the pedicel of male flower grows rapidly and makesanther forced out of the membranous sheath and bends outward. As pollen released,the pedicel is almost horizontal, which is beneficial for the released pollen to betransferred by water current.In addition, the reduced structure of flower and abundantstarch grains in pollen all shows that N. oguraensis Miki is highly adapted tohypohydrophily, and sexual reproduction in this species is considerably effective. Inany case of geitonogamy and outcross, the ratio of seeds reproduction is over 85%.The ratio of pollen grains to ovules (p/o) is about 2690?00, which suggests abreeding system of facultative autogamy. Although asexual reproduction in N.oguraensis Miki is relatively poor and presents only in the form of fragments, it isbelieved very important for the dispersal of the species. Moreover some characteristicssuch as perianth reduction and exine reduction were explained rationally, and therelationship between geitonogamy and outcross in N.oguraensis Miki was discussedfrom the viewpoint of breeding system.
