摘要:

青藏高原与横断山集特殊的地理位置和复杂的地形地势以及高度丰富的植物区系成分于一体, 成为世界上研究生物多样性起源与演化的热点地区之一。我们对这一地区被子植物的染色体数据进行了全面的统计分析, 结果表明新多倍体在该地区只约占23%的比例, 远低于其他高山地区, 这可能是由于这一地区特殊的地质历史或者复杂的地形和生境等因素所导致的。低基数的二倍体占近一半的比例(43.3%), 说明了二倍体水平上的染色体结构和核型进化也是本地区物种分化的另一重要机制。古多倍体, 即高基数二倍体, 也占有较大的成分(33.7%)。本地区物种在细胞学遗传演化途径上的多样性与这一地区极高的物种多样性和特有性可能存在一定的联系。通过对青藏高原及横断山地区被子植物区系进化中染色体演化机制的研究, 为探讨东亚以及北半球其他植物区系物种进化、高山植物区系起源和演化等许多重大问题提供了有益的帮助。

Abstract

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Hengduan Mountains is an important hotspot to study the origin and evolution of plant biodiversity, which is characterized by high species richness and endemism, as well as a unique location and complicated topography. Based on a comprehensive survey of the chromosome numbers of angiosperms from the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and Hengduan Mountains, our results indicated that the frequency of neopolyploids (23%) was much lower than expected. This was likely caused by the unique history, geology, and complicated topography and habitat. Another mechanism of chromosomal evolution is on the diploidy level (ca. 43.3%), with variations of chromosomal restructure and karyotype. The number of paleopolyploids (diploids with high base numbers) was large in plants from this mountain area (33.7%). The diversity of chromosomal evolution patterns of angiosperms from this region may be correlated to the high level of species richness and endemism. This study provides useful insight into our understanding of speciation, the origins of alpine flora and other important issues in eastern Asia and other regions in the Northern Hemisphere.
