用扫描电镜观察了囊瓣木(Saccopetalum prolificum)和刺果番荔枝(Annona muricata)花器官的形态发生过程。刺果番荔枝和囊瓣木花被片均为3轮,其中刺果番荔枝内轮花被片数目为3枚、5枚或7枚。囊瓣木花原基最初为圆锥形,最外轮3枚花被片很快发生,之后中、内轮花被片原基连续发生,3轮花被片互生。此时花原基为六边形。花被片分化完成时,圆球形雄蕊原基沿六边形花原基的6个边螺旋向心发生,最终近轮状排列于花原基上。刺果番荔枝的雄蕊较多(约1000枚),首先在中轮花被片所对的花原基边缘发生,之后大量雄蕊螺旋状发生。心皮分化的早期阶段,与雄蕊原基很相似,当心皮数目逐渐增多时,不能分辩出发生的顺序。成熟花中,心皮和雄蕊全都被毛覆盖,毛具有粘住传粉滴的作用。
The floral morphogenesis of Saccopetalum prolificum and Annona muricata was observed by scanning electron microscope(SEM).The perianth of the two species consisted of three alternating whorls,and the inner perianth whorls of A.muricata were variable(numbering 3,5 or 7).The floral primordium of S.prolificum was initially conic.The outer perianth whorl initiated rapidly and then the middle and inner perianth whorls initiated successively.The floral primordium became hexagonal after the inner perianth whorl formed.The stamen primodia were nearly round and originated along the sides of hexagonal floral primordium spirally and centripetally,but arranged in whorls in amture buds.The initiation of carpels could not be distinguished from stamens in early stages,while it appeared chaotic towards the top of the floral apex.In the mature flower buds,both of carpels and stamens were covered by hairs which may have the function of retaining a pollination drop.
