摘　　要：被子植物的离体受精10a前在玉米中已获得成功,尽管目前只在玉米获得完全成功和小麦获得部分成功,但离体受精技术的研究成果非常显著。目前离体受精技术已被用于其他的研究,如用分离的精细胞和卵细胞筛选配子细胞的特异基因和蛋白质;研究合子细胞被激活的机理;用不同种植物的精、卵细胞体外融合进行新的远缘杂交尝试;利用合子细胞易分裂和胚胎发生特征探索用其作为转基因研究的受体细胞等。以离体受精技术为基础在高等植物发育生物学和生殖生物学领域的基础研究和应用探索显示了巨大潜力。介绍了离体受精技术在被子植物有性生殖的研究成果和应用前景,为研究和利用被子植物有性生殖过程中的生殖细胞特征提供线索。In vitro fertilization technique using male and female gametes completely isolated from their paternal and maternal structures has been developed for ten years. Using electric fusion, zygote, embryo and fertile plants of maize can now be produced in vitro from individual fusions of pairs of sperm and egg cells. The culture conditions allow control of the parameters of fertilization and early steps of zygote development. Although this technique was successfully performed only in maize it helped us to understand a lot of information about fertilization mechanism of higher plants. Following successful isolating male and female gametes and culturing artificial zygote, in vitro fertilization as a research platform can be extended to more purposes in the research of sexual reproduction in higher plants. We knew the phenomenon of sperm dimorphism in many plants and also confirmed the preferential fertilization of both sperm cells in Plumbago zeylanica since 1985. We, however, know nothing for molecular mechanism of gamete recognition in higher plants. Now the special genes of male and female gametes, and zygote can be screened out using isolated gametes, which changes the research method from cell structure to molecular level. Zygote activation is a very interesting topic in plant developmental biology. But it is difficult to probe the mechanism of zygote activation because egg cell and zygote are imbedded deeply in ovules. Using microculture of zygote from both in vivo and in vitro created, the zygote can be observed on schedule and manipulated usingmodern biological techniques. The first confirmed zygote activation was free calcium change at the beginning of development after fusion of both male and female gametes of maize. Fertile plants can be easily developed from few zygotes under in vitro condition by means of embryogenesis, which is greatly interested in transgenic study in higher plants. In vitro fertilization and zygote culture also have great potential in overcoming incompatibilities of interspecies barriers
