1、油松细胞质遗传的细胞学机理：雄配子的超微结构和细胞器类核摘要：证明了油松（Pinus tabulaeformis Carr）雄配子存在质体和线粒体及细胞器 DNA 提供了油松具父系质体和线粒体遗传基础的确切的细胞学证据结果与松科植物在遗传学上已确定的父系质体遗传的一般规律是一致的。但精细胞中的线粒体是否能传递至胚 还需要追踪其后的发育过程。另一重要的结果是揭示了油松的雄配子是细胞这与以前将松科植物雄配子归入雄核（精核）的类型不同。精细胞无壁 仅被质膜包围。在切面上 第一精细胞体积大 长形 具大量的细胞质；第二精细胞体积较小 球形 细胞质量少。根据油松雄配子是细胞的类型 对松科植物雄配子是细胞还

2、是雄核进行了讨论 提出了雄配子的类型是否能代表科的特征 还需扩大研究种类才能下结论。关键词：裸子植物；细胞质遗传；父系质体遗传；母系线粒体遗传；裸子植物精细胞；油松中图分类号：Q 9 4 3 文献标识码：A文章编号：0 5 7 7-7 4 9 6（2 0 0 0）0 1-0 0 2 3-0 9Cytological Mechanism of Cytoplasmic Inheritance in Pinus tabulaeformis：Ultrastructural Aspects and Nucleoids of the Male GametesHU Sh-i Yi1 GUO Feng-Li2
