Abstract:

Gymnospermium kiangnanense(P. L. Chiu),a rare and endangered plant in China,is a kind of early spring flowering plant of Berberidaceae. Field investigation shows that resources of G. kiangnanense is decreasing day by day,which limits its medicinal and horticultural development. In order to reveal the population structure and breeding system characteristics of G. kiangnanense,two natural populations distributed in Chun'an County and Zhuji City,Zhejiang Province were investigated. In this paper,the specific time life table of the population was compiled,the survival curve and survival function were analyzed,and the population dynamics was predicted by using the time series model,and the breeding system characteristics(hybridization index,pollen/ovule ratio,pollen vitality,stigma receptivity and pollinator insects)were used for determination. Our results showed that:(1) Chun'an population was spindle structure with a large proportion of middle age class,while that of Zhuji population was seriously deficient in middle age class;both populations were in decline type,and their survival curves tended to Deevey-Ⅱtype;(2) Flower characteristics ofG. kiangnanense showed generalized pollination type with P/O value of 7 920;main pollinators of G. kiangnanense were Apis cerana and Episyrphus balteatus,etc.;many ways to ensure success of pollination were involved,for example,the pollination efficiency of G. kiangnanense was improved through the short-term high-density concentrated flowering pattern,extensive pollination system and blank niche in early spring. This paper reveals the causes of G. kiangnanensepopulation formation and predicts the future development trend of the population,so as to provide decision-making basis for the protection and restoration of natural population.
