狭域物种广西秋海棠传粉生物学研究

The Pollination Biology of Begonia Guangxiensis,a Narrowly Distributed Species

  • 摘要: 为了检验广西秋海棠(Begonia guangxiensis)的交配系统和该物种是否依赖原生境的特殊传粉昆虫进行传粉及其能否在人工生境中实现有性繁殖,展开了广西秋海棠的单花花期观察、花部特征测定、授粉、访花者观察及种子萌发测定等试验。结果显示:广西秋海棠具有较长的单花花期,不同生境下的花冠大小表现出一定差异;自交和异交之间座果率及种子萌发率和两生境之间的自然对照座果均无显著差异;访花者包括蜂类(中华蜜蜂(Apis cerana)与萃熊蜂(Bombus eximius))和食蚜蝇(黑带食蚜蝇(Episyrphus balteatus)与刺腿食蚜蝇(Ischiodon scutellaris)),不同生境和不同年份访花者组成有差异。以上结果一致表明,自交亲和的广西秋海棠依赖传粉者进行有性繁殖,但并不依赖某种特殊类型传粉者,而是具有较泛化的传粉系统,因此在非自然生境中也能成功进行有性繁殖。

     

    Abstract: To examine the mating system of Begonia guangxiensis and whether the species relies on particular pollinators in its native habitat for pollination and whether it can achieve sexual reproduction in artificial habitats, the experiment of floral longevity observation, floral traits determination, pollination, flower visitor observation and seed germination determination of B. guangxiensis were carried out in this study. The result showed that B. guangxiensis had a long floral longevity, and the corolla sizes varied in different habitats; there was no significant difference in the proportion fruit set and seed germination rate between self-pollination and cross-pollination treatments and natural control between the two habitats; flower visitors included bees(Apis cerana, Bombus eximius) and hoverflies(Episyrphus balteatus, Ischiodon scutellaris), and the visitor composition varied with habitats and years. All the results consistently indicated that the self-compatible B.guangxiensis relied on pollinators for sexual reproduction, but did not rely on a particular type of pollinator, but had a more generalized pollination system, and therefore could reproduce successfully in unnatural habitats.
