6种粗肋草叶片解剖结构、叶肉色素和光合能力及其相关性

对天南星科(Araceae)粗肋草属(Aglaonema)中‘银王’粗肋草(A.commutatun‘Silvcr Queen’)、‘柠檬美’粗肋草(A.commutatun‘Lemon Beauty’)、‘灿烂’粗肋草(A.commutatun‘Brilliant’)、‘如意’粗肋草(A.commutatun‘Red Valentine’)、‘贵夫人’粗肋草(A.commutatun‘Lady Valentine’)和‘日出’粗肋草(A.commutatun‘Sunrise’)等6个品种的解剖结构、叶肉色素和光合速率进行了比较研究,并分析了粗肋草叶片解剖结构、叶肉色素与光合能力之间的关系.结果显示:‘日出’为等面叶,其它5个品种的叶片均为异面叶;‘银王’和‘灿烂’2个品种的气孔分布于下表皮及主脉上,‘贵夫人’和‘如意’则上下表皮都存有气孔,而‘柠檬美’、‘日出’则只在下表皮发现有气孔.所有品种的叶片上下表皮都只由一层细胞构成.叶绿素含量以绿叶类和红脉类粗助草较高,全红叶类较低,花色素苷则相反;类胡萝卜素则以花叶类粗助草较低.全红叶和花叶类粗助草的净光合速率低于绿叶类和红脉类粗助草.叶片栅栏组织和海绵组织中叶绿体密度与叶绿素含量、类胡萝卜素含量与光合速率存在一定的正相关性.

Transcriptome analysis of three cotton pests reveals features of gene expressions in the mesophyll feeder Apolygus lucorum

The green mirid bug Apolygus lucorum is an agricultural pest that is known to cause damage to more than 150 plant species. Here, we report the transcriptomes ofA. lucorum at three different developmental stages （the second and fifth instar nymphs and adults）. A total of 98,236 unigenes with an average length of 1,335nt was obtained, of which 50,640 were annotated, including those encoding digestive enzymes and cytochrome P450s. Comparisons with cotton bollworm and cotton aphid transcriptomes revealed distinct features ofA. lucorum as a mesophyll feeder. The gene expression dynamics varied during development from young nymphs to adults. The high-quality transcriptome data and the gene expression dynamics reported here provide valuable data for a more comprehensive understanding of the physiology and development of mirid bugs, and for mining targets for their control.
