[Abstract](1194) [PDF](254)
Abstract:
The cambium of Camptotheca acuminata is non-stratified .In the subsequent development of cambium, with the increasing stem age , the length of fusiform initials increases and the length of ray initials decreases .The cambial activity is similar to that in most trees of diffuse-porous wood and with an evident periodicity .InMarch , the cambial activity starts after bud sprouting , and it becomes the most vigorous in April and May .After October , it begins dormancy .Increasing and decreasing of stored starch are closely related to the periodicity of cambial activity . After cambial activity is resumed in March , starch decreases progressively until it disappears .In August , starch accumulates progressively and disappears quickly in September .The stored starch accumulates again in November until the next March , and starts to decrease after that .[ Ch , 1 fig .1 tab .12 ref .]

[Abstract](1277) [PDF](290)
Abstract:
Frogs of Kaloula verrucosa annually are revival before rainy season beginning and hibernate after rainy season ended .Their habit is especial compared with other species of anuran .In order to know the reproductive behaviour of Kaloula verrucosa , its reproductive ecology is studied by observation in field and dissection in lab . The results indicate that the reproductive period of Kaloula verrucosa is related to the beginning of rainy season , duration and interval of raining etc .They usually mate and spawn from the night to the morning of next day .The sexual ratio at pre-reproductive , reproductive and post-reproductive periods is 1∶4 and 1∶7 and 3∶2 .There is notable relation between the spawn quantity and the body length of female in reproductive periods .The females whose body length is larger than 47 mm annually spawn twice , then smaller than 47 mm only spawn once .Eggs are laid in batches and each batch only includes about 30 eggs .Spawn time can be influenced by the activities of human being .The authors consider that sexual ratio changes of Kaloula verrucosa are related to that males enter reproductive places several times during reproduction and that males hibernate earlier than females .That laying a small quantity of eggs each batch and laying eggs several times during reproduction is an adaptive behavior for avoiding death of a mass of eggs and tadpoles caused by seasonal pond drying up .Floating eggs are in favor of hatching and accelerate growth , which can avoid the menace of population survival caused by temporary pond drying up .The reproductive habits among Kaloula verrucosa , K .boreals and K .rugifera resemble .There is also dissimilarity of habits among three different species because separation of their ecological behavior and the discrepancy of the abi1ity of interference rejection , such as frogs of K .boreals aren't affected by human activity during spawn .[ Ch , 4 tab .15 ref .]

[Abstract](2027) [PDF](329)
Abstract:
Through investigations into a portion of Chinese ancient books , it was discovered that the emergence of Chinese ancient grafting was enlightened by the phenomenon of two branches of different trees twined together in nature .Before the WesternHan Dynasty (206 BC -25 AD), grafting was had been applied in production .Ancient people used it to shorten productive cycle , keep special character of species and expand reproduce coefficient . Ancient people also summarized four methods and six methods from grafting practice , and discovered many factors impacting on the survival rate of grafting such as selection of scion and stock , grafting time and grafting technique .The ancients put forward the conception of gas and liquid to explain the survival principle , and posed the view that plants with close relation applied in grafting are easy to survive on the base of summarizing a great deal of grafting practise .[ Ch , 18 ref .]
