多花水仙胚珠离体培养

对多花水仙4个品种类型进行胚珠离体培养,结果表明品种的倍性起着重要作用。三倍体难以培养成功。胚珠的发育状况亦有很大影响。用作离体培养的胚珠,以授粉后15—20天,正值球形胚或心脏形胚形成期为最适宜;未经授粉、受精的胚珠未能培养成功。适宜的培养条件可以打破种子的休眠,直接在试管审发芽成苗。     

Should farmers apply fertilizer according to when their daffodils are in flower? Utilizing a “farmer‐science” approach to understanding the impact of soil temperature on spring N fertilizer application in Wales

Perennial ryegrass starts growing when soil temperatures reach 5.5°C for five consecutive days; applying N fertilizer before this risks environmental losses. To test whether daffodil flowering signified when to apply N fertilizer, farmers volunteered to take part in a citizen science study. The PROSOIL project used a “citizen science”, participatory approach to create farmer‐informed science, aiming to increase awareness of the importance of soil health. In 2014, over 300 farmers completed a “How do you manage your soil” survey. The survey included a question on the use of daffodils (Narcissus spp.) to indicate the best time to apply the first nitrogen fertilizer of the season, based on anecdotal feedback from farmers involved in the PROSOIL project. The survey recorded 7% of farmers based their first fertilizer application on when daffodils flowered. To increase farmer awareness of soil temperatures, we provided them with soil thermometers, held workshops and hosted interactive stands at agricultural events in 2014. In autumn 2014, farmers planted daffodil bulbs of the same variety, across Wales, and monitored soil temperatures. Farmers returned postcards once their daffodils were in flower, noting the soil temperature. An assessment of whether daffodil flowering date could indicate when to apply N fertilizer was made. Overall, in spring 2015, daffodils flowered when soil temperature was 6.4(±0.35)°C, suggesting daffodil flowering date is a more reliable indicator for fertilizer application, than first hypothesized. Findings show a scientific validation of local knowledge, regarding the use of daffodils to indicate the “not‐before” date for the first N fertilizer application.     

水仙品种资源的育种基础研究 Ⅰ.多花水仙若干品种类型的细胞学研究

对7个多花水仙 Narcissus tazetta L.品种类型进行了细胞学观察,其中有3个二倍体和4个三倍体,染色体基数有 x=10和 x=11两类。二倍体类型中,有1个2n=2x=20的品种,减数分裂行为与育性基本正常,另外2个品种2n=2x=22,终变期有1个四价体环,其育性稍低,但亦能结籽。三倍体类型中,有3个品种是2n=3x=30的同源三倍体,还有1个由2套 x=11与1套 x=10的染色体组构成的2n=32的同源异源三倍体。三倍体的减数分裂行为均不规则,高度不育,不能结籽.2n=32的品种,经人工授粉后,偶而能结个别种子,但中途败育。     

中国水仙花香对人体血压心率和呼吸频率的影响

[目的]为了了解中国水仙花香对人体生理的影响。[方法]男性40人自愿参与试验,分为青年组和中老年组。在闻香前后不同时间段,比较血压、心率、呼吸频率。[结果]青年组闻香1h后,血压、心率、呼吸频率均显著下降（P〈0.05或P〈0.01）;中老年组闻香2h后,血压下降有显著意义（P〈0.01）,呼吸频率增加有显著意义（P〈0.05）。[结论]通过心率和呼吸频率的调节,中国水仙花花香对人体确有降低血压的作用,并且这种影响随闻香时间的长短而有所变化。
