超高压处理对砀山梨汁中过氧化物酶活性的影响

该文研究了超高压处理对砀山梨汁中过氧化物酶活性的影响。试验压力为0.1～500 MPa，温度为20～60℃。此外，考察了不同pH值(3～7)和保压时间(2～34 min)超高压处理对酶活性的影响。试验结果表明：在处理温度为50℃、保压时间为10 min和梨汁pH 5的条件下，300 MPa以下压力范围内高压处理酶被激活，其活性增加；大于300 MPa时酶的活性随压力增大而下降。高压处理时，温度低于40℃对酶的活性影响不大；有效影响高压处理的最小温度为40℃。保压时间超过10 min后时间延长对酶的活性影响     

超高压对含有琼脂猪肉凝胶特性影响的试验

多糖作为脂肪替代物可用于开发低脂肉制品,而超高压可对低脂肌肉凝胶产生改性作用。该研究将超高压引入含琼脂0.4%猪肉糜凝胶(PMGA)的加工,在压力100～600 MPa、保压时间10～40 min、加压介质温度10～40℃范围内,单因素试验考察各因素对PMGA持水性、色泽与硬度的影响。研究结果表明:与未受压的对照组相比,200～400 MPa压力导致PMGA的蒸煮损失率显著降低(p<0.05);100～600 MPa压力可不同程度地提高PMGA的保水性,并显著降低彩度指数b*值(p<0.05);400～600 MPa压力引起PMGA亮度L*值显著增加和彩度指数a*值明显下降(p<0.05);100～400 MPa压力可显著提高PMGA的硬度,而500～600 MPa压力则显著降低其硬度(p<0.05);保压时间与介质温度对PMGA持水性、色泽与硬度的影响相对有限。因此,200～400 MPa的超高压处理可获得较高的产品出品率;且改变工作压力可调控受压PMGA的硬度。     

肉馅高密度CO2杀菌效果和杀菌动力学研究

研究了不同压力、温度和时间的高密度CO₂对肉馅的杀菌效果及杀菌动力学模型,以相对均方误(RMSE) 和决定系数(R2)为衡量指标考察了线性(Linear)、威布尔(Weibull)和逻辑斯谛(Log-Logistic)模型拟合的效果。结果表明：高密度CO₂对肉馅的杀菌效果随处理压力、温度和时间的增加而增强;D值（使90%的细菌失活所需的时间）在50MPa、75 ℃时达到最小为4.4 min,Z_P值（D值降低一个对数所需增加的压力）在75 ℃时达到最小为60.3 MPa,Z_T值（D值降低一个对数所需增加的温度）在50 MPa时达到最小为30.6 ℃;与Linear模型相比,Weibull和Log-Logistic模型能更好地拟合高密度CO₂杀菌曲线。RMSE和R2分析表明,Weibull模型最好地拟合了高密度CO₂处理下细菌失活动力学变化。

超高压处理玉米醇溶蛋白的流变性和热特性分析

为了阐明超高压处理对玉米醇溶蛋白流变行为和热性能的影响及其作用规律,采用旋转黏度计测定了不同温度条件下超高压处理玉米醇溶蛋白溶液的流变特性参数,应用幂定律拟合了剪切应力(τ)与剪切速率(γ)的关系曲线,建立了黏度(η)和温度(T)的数学模型;利用差示扫描量热仪(DSC)测定了超高压处理前后玉米醇溶蛋白的结晶温度(Tc)、熔融温度(Tm)、结晶焓(ΔHm),并利用扫描电子显微镜(SEM)对其进行了表征。结果表明,超高压处理后玉米醇溶蛋白溶液逐渐偏离牛顿流体,具有假塑性流体特性。随着压力增大,黏度呈现先增加后减小再增加的趋势,当压力为400MPa时,黏度达到最高;随着温度升高,黏度开始下降,当温度为40℃时,黏度降到最低;而随着剪切速率的增大,黏度随之下降,但当剪切速率接近100s-1时,黏度变化不明显。超高压处理后玉米醇溶蛋白粉的熔融温度升高,结晶焓减小,DSC热特性曲线变性峰(Tm-Tc)有变宽的趋势。SEM显示超高压处理后部分玉米醇溶蛋白颗粒凝聚成环状或者链状结构。     

超高压处理对绵羊肉嫩化机理的研究

实验研究了超高压处理条件下绵羊肌肉感官特性、显微结构、钙激活酶(Calpains)粗酶活性和剪切力值的变化，并探讨了超高压处理对绵羊肌肉的嫩化机理。超高压处理后绵羊肌肉的感官特性发生变化，随处理压力升高，绵羊肌肉颜色变淡，出现轻微的类似蒸煮的成熟风味。在压力为400 MPa，保压时间为10 min的处理条件下，绵羊肌肉显微组织结构变化明显：肌节收缩，肌原纤维的Z线断裂，M线降解，I带变白。当压力水平在100～400 MPa范围变动时，随压力升高，Calpains粗酶活性显著下降(P＜0.01)；当压力达到400 MPa时，Calpains粗酶活性几乎失活。超高压处理后绵羊肉的剪切力值显著下降(P＜0.05)。实验结果表明，超高压处理促进了绵羊肉的嫩化。

利用Mini-PAM叶绿素荧光仪测定离体栓皮栎叶片高温胁迫下光系统Ⅱ（PSⅡ）最大量子产量Fv/Fm和实际量子产量△F/Fm＇,以研究栓皮栎叶片高温胁迫下PSⅡ失活的温度指标.试验设35～55℃共10个高温处理,处理时间5～85min.结果表明,（1）PSⅡ最大量子产量Fv/Fm和实际量子产量△F/Fm＇均随胁迫温度升高和处理时间延长而呈下降趋势,△F/Fm＇的下降过程呈Logistic曲线形式;（2）高温胁迫显著影响栓皮栎叶片的光合作用,△F/Fm＇降低50％的温度T50是PSⅡ失活的临界温度指标,可作为确定高温胁迫温度指标的特征点,栓皮栎的高温胁迫叶温指标为42℃.研究结果可用于栓皮栎高温胁迫强度和持续时间的定量分析,并为确定其它作物农业气象指标提供方法.     

超高压杀灭低酸性食品中耐压菌的动力学模型

为了描述超高压杀菌过程和预测杀菌效果,该文建立了超高压对低酸性食品中4种耐压菌及其芽孢的杀菌动力学模型。首先在300～500 MPa的超高压条件下获得了枯草芽孢杆菌、地衣芽孢杆菌、嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌和致黑梭状芽孢杆菌的芽孢致死曲线。选取线性模型和Weibull模型来拟合超高压杀菌的动力学过程,以精确因子、均方差和决定系数R2作为模型拟合度优劣的评判指标。数据分析结果表明,Weibull模型在300～500 MPa具有很好的拟合性（R2＞0.9）,线性模型的拟合效果不佳（R2＜0.83）。所得Weibull方程可有效预测特定压力-时间组合下的灭菌效果,可用于指导超高压灭菌的实际生产。     

超高压处理对鲜榨橙汁中主要香气成分的影响

为了了解超高压处理对鲜橙汁香气的影响,分析超高压处理后橙汁香气变化的原因。采用固相微萃取（Solid Phase Microextraction,SPME）方法对不同压力（100～500 MPa）超高压处理的鲜榨橙汁中的香气成分进行富集,并经气相色谱-质谱联用仪（Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry,GC-MS）检测分析,橙汁中的主要香气成分有：3种烯（柠檬烯、月桂烯、α-蒎烯）;2种醇（芳樟醇、α-松油醇）;3种醛（柠檬醛、辛醛、癸醛）;1种酮（香芹酮）;2种酯（丁酸乙酯、3-OH-己酸乙酯）,它们是构成橙汁的主要特征致香成分。通过定量检测分析发现：超高压处理对橙汁中的柠檬烯成分影响很显著,经500 MPa的压力处理15 min后其含量下降了75%,而月桂烯和α-蒎烯受高压影响较小;α-松油醇、香芹酮含量经高压处理后迅速增加;醛类特征香气成分基本不受高压影响;酯类成分在高压下会发生变化,但总体变化不显著。超高压处理橙汁使其中柠檬烯在高压下发生水合、氧化反应分别生成α-松油醇和香芹酮。超高压处理橙汁一般压力要大于300 MPa,而该文研究发现500 MPa处理会造成较多的香气损失,故橙汁超高压处理时的压力最好选择 400 MPa左右。     

超高压灭活枯草芽孢杆菌(AS 1.140)的参数优化

该文采用响应曲面方法中的Box-Behnken模式，对超高压灭活枯草芽孢杆菌进行了试验优化设计，并进行了实验分析验证。试验结果表明：压力、温度、保压时间是超高压灭活枯草芽孢杆菌的显著影响因子，分析表明其显著度顺序为压力＞温度＞保压时间；在本试验条件范围内建立并验证的超高压杀灭枯草芽孢杆菌的回归模型准确有效；优化得出10组杀灭10⁶ cfu/mL枯草芽孢杆菌工艺参数的取值范围为压力343.79～475.75 MPa，温度27.47～57.44℃，保压时间14.14～19.72 min。     

Soil-profile distribution of primary and secondary plant-available nutrients under conventional and no tillage

Nutrient distributions under no tillage (NT) compared with conventional disk-and-bed tillage (CT) management in the warm, humid region of the southeastern USA need to be assessed so that future placement, quantity, and type of fertilizers can be altered, if necessary, to efficiently match crop demands. We determined soil-profile distributions of pH, N, P, S, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu to a depth of 0.9 m at the end of 8.5 years of continuous CT and NT management on a Weswood silty clay loam (fine, mixed, thermic Fluventic Ustochrept) in southcentral Texas. Most dramatic changes occurred within the 0–0.05 m depth, where soil under NT had lower pH, Fe, and Cu than under CT, but greater P, K, Zn, and Mn. Greater P and K under NT than under CT also occurred below the till-zone (0.15–0.3 m). At a depth of 0–0.3 m, soil under NT contained greater amounts of extractable P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu than under CT. Nitrogen fertilization had little effect on nutrient distributions, except resulting in greater extractable K at 0–0.05 m and greater nitrate at 0–0.15 m. Few changes in soil-profile distributions were observed for extractable S, Ca, Mg, and Na. Long-term continuous use of NT on this fine-textured, high-fertility (except for N) soil had no apparent adverse effects on nutrient distributions relative to CT, but enhanced conservation and availability of P, K, Zn, Fe, Mn, and Cu near the soil surface where crop roots proliferate.     

Assessing the effectiveness of conservation measures: Resolving the “wicked” problem of the Steller sea lion

“Wicked” problems are those that are complex and that change when solutions are applied. Many conflicts in conservation fall into this category. The study approached the problem of how to constrain the apparent wickedness of a problem in the conservation management of a species by using simple empirical indicators to carry out iterative assessment of the risk to a population and to document how this risk evolves in relation to the addition of new data and the implementation of management actions. Effects of high levels of uncertainty within data and also concerning population structure were examined through stochastic simulation and by exploration of scenarios. Historical trends in the example used, the Steller sea lion, showed rapid declines in abundance in some regions during the 1980s. The current total population is 130,000-150,000 Steller sea lions through Alaska and British Columbia and this number has been stable since about 1990 in spite of regional differences in population dynamics. Regional differences in the sequence of changes in the number of pups and non-pups, suggested that an internal re-distribution of juveniles could have happened between 1980 and 1990. Current productivity also appears close to the long-term mean. Stochastic population projection using various scenarios showed that, based upon this history, the risk of extinction for the population has declined and is below reasonable thresholds for considering the population to be endangered. The trends in risk suggest that management actions taken since 1990 have probably been effective. Consequently, the conservation management objectives for the Steller sea lion are probably being met. The approach provides a mechanism, based upon experience and scenario analysis, for exploring future policy options and may help to constrain the debate amongst stakeholders about the cost-benefit trade-offs associated with different options.     

Enhanced establishment and growth of giant cardon cactus in an eroded field in the Sonoran Desert using native legume trees as nurse plants aided by plant growth-promoting microorganisms and compost

To evaluate the feasibility of long-term desert reforestation technology of mixed vegetation, cardon cactus (Pachycereus pringlei) seedlings from indoor and outdoor nurseries were planted in the field adjacent to one seedling of potential legume nurse trees: mesquite amargo (Prosopis articulata), yellow palo verde (Parkinsonia microphylla), and blue palo verde (Parkinsonia florida). Some of the planting holes were also supplemented with common dairy compost. Additionally, the combinations of legume tree–cactus were inoculated with either a consortium of desert arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB; the diazotroph Azospirillum brasilense Cd, and the phosphate solubilizer Paenibacillus sp.), or a mixture of all. The field experiments were evaluated periodically during 30 months for survival and growth. Cardons reared in an outdoor screen house survived better in the field than those reared in a controlled growth chamber and hardened later outdoors. Association with any legume nurse tree increased survival and enhanced growth of untreated cardons. For cardons growing alone, application of either compost, AM fungi, and all the treatments combined increased survival. For these plants, no treatment affected plant growth during the first 3 months after transplanting. Later, all treatments, except for AM fungi, enhanced plant growth. However, only 2 years after transplanting the enhanced growth effect of AM fungi was also significant. In the presence of the legume nurse trees, transient positive effects on cardon growth were recorded. General evaluation after 30 months of cultivation showed that the treatments positively affected cardon growth when growing alone or in combination only with mesquite amargo but not with the other two legume trees. This study proposes that young legume trees have the capacity to enhance survival and growth of cardon cactus, depending on the legume cactus combination. Additional treatments such as compost or PGPB can either amplify the effect or else attenuate it.     

Karyotypic and genome size variation in Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp. (pigeonpea) and some wild relatives

Detailed karyotypes and 4C DNA amounts have been studied in five cultivars of Cajanus cajan and 20 species belonging to Cajanus, Rhynchosia, Dunbaria, Flemingia and Paracalyx. C. cajan shows intraspecific variability and its karyotype is most similar to that of C. cajanifolius (sect. Cajanus) in the morphology and number of satellite chromosomes and the lack of any correlation between chromosome size within the complement and asymmetry. Karyotypes of C. lineatus and C. sericeus belonging to sect. Atylia are similar with respect to maximum r-index and the ratio of longest and shortest chromosomes in their respective complements. C. acutifolius (sect. Frutocosa) is distinct in having a very low ratio (1.44) between the longest and the shortest chromosomes, while in C. albicans, C. goensis, C. scarabaeoides (sect. Cantharospermum) there is no chromosome pair with r-index >2.0. C. mollis and C. volubilis (sect. Volubilis) show similarity with regard to ratio between the longest and the shortest chromosomes and a distinct chromosome pair with an arm ratio of 2.7 and C. platycarpus is distinct (sect. Rhynchosoides) in having the smallest ratio (1.36) between the longest and the shortest chromosomes. 4C DNA amounts in Cajanus and Rhynchosia vary between 3.28 pg to 11.69 pg and 4.92 pg to 11.13 pg respectively, while in Dunbaria, Flemingia and Paracalyx these vary between 4.70 and 7:06 pg. In the genus Cajanus karyotypic features and 4C DNA amounts agree with the sectional classification and bring out a close relationship between C. cajan and C. cajanifolius. This is supported by studies based on seed protein patterns, isozyme analysis, trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitor patterns, RFLP and RAPD data and crossability relationships. A clear relation between DNA amount and abnormalities effecting the extent of pairing and recombination in interspecific hybrids shows the importance of this study in developing future breeding programme involving C. cajan and its wild relatives that are of potential value.     

Effect of some fungicide seed treatments on the survival of Bradyrhizobium japonicum and on the nodulation and yield of soybean [Glycine max. (L) Merr.]

Several commercial fungicide seed treatments were evaluated for their possible effect on the survival of Bradyrhizobium japonicum on seeds and on the nodulation and yield of soybeans in a greenhouse and a field experiment. quinolate Pro (carbendazim and oxine copper), Vitavax 200FF (carboxin and thiram), and Monceren (pencycuron) had a small effect or no effect on the survival of B. japonicum and on the nodulation and yield of soybeans. They can thus be considered compatible with soybean seed inoculation. Germipro UFB (carbendazim and iprodione), Apron 35J (metalaxyl), and Tachigaren (hymexazol) decreased B. japonicum survival and the nodulation and yield of soybeans and thus cannot be considered compatible with soybean seed inoculation.     

Einfluss der düngungsmethoden auf die entwicklung von zuckerrübenkrankheiten

Während neunjähriger (1994-2002) Untersuchungen in der Versuchsanstalt Ba?cyny (Fahlerde, Fall-Gleyboden, ausgebildet aus leichtem Lehmboden) wurde der Befall mit Krankheiten an der Zuckerrübe in Abhängigkeit von der Düngungsmethode bewertet. Folgende Methoden wurden angewendet: A - Mineraldünger, B - Stalldung und Mineraldünger, C - Stroh-, Gründung und Mineraldünger, D - Kompostdünger und Biopräparate (ökologische Düngung). Auf den Objekten A, B, C wurden bei konstanter Phosphor-Kalium-Düngung die Stickstoffgaben von 0 bis 180 kg.ha^?1 differenziert. Auf dem ökologischen Objekt D ohne Mineraldünger wurden statt Stickstoff die Biopräparate P₅₀₀ und P₅₀₁ verabreicht. Der geringste Befall von Krankheiten wurde an der Zuckerrübe auf jenem Objekt festgestellt, das mit Kompost und den Biopräparaten gedüngt worden war. Im Rahmen der konventionellen Düngungsmethoden wurde allgemein die höchste Intensität der Krankheiten an der mit Stroh, Gründung und Mineraldünger gedüngten Zuckerrübe beobachtet. Ausnahmen von dieser Regel bildete das Vorkommen von echtem Mehltau und Keimlingsfäule. Auf den Objekten A, B, C nahm die Intensität der Krankheiten mit der Steigerung der Stickstoffgabe zu. Auch die auf Objekt D verabreichten Biopräparate stimulierten die Entwicklung der Krankheiten. The effect of various fertilization methods on the diseases of sugar beet was estimated on the basis of nine-year studies (1994-2002) conducted in the Experimental Production Farm in Ba?cyny on loess-based, sedimentary-gley, light-clay soil. The following fertilization methods were applied: A - mineral fertilization, B - mineral and manure fertilization, C - straw, green manure and mineral fertilization, D - ecological compost and biodynamic preparations fertilization. In the objects A, B and C fertilized with phosphorus and potassium, various doses of nitrogen ranging from 0 to 180 kg/ha^?1 were used. In the ecological object D, where mineral fertilization was not used, biodynamic preparations P₅₀₀ and P₅₀₁ were applied instead of nitrogen. The lowest ratio of the diseases of sugar beet was observed in the object fertilized with the compost and biodynamic preparations. In view of the conventional fertilization methods, generally the highest incidence of diseases was noted in the sugar beet fertilized with straw, green manure and mineral fertilizers. The exception was the occurrence of powdery mildew and the black leg. In objects A, B and C the incidence of the diseases increased with the increase in nitrogen doses. The applied biodynamical preparations in the object D stimulated the development of diseases too.     

Prospects for control of Pythium damping-off of lettuce with Trichoderma,Gliocladium and Enterobacter spp.

Summary Damping-off of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) caused by Pythium ultimum was studied in pots containing a non-sterile potting mix in the glasshouse. Fifty P. ultimum sporangia g^-1 compost reduced the plant stand to 15% and shoot dry weight to 18%, but this reduction was totally prevented by applying Trichoderma harzianum at 2×10⁵ viable propagules g^-1 potting mix. Gliocladium virens and Enterobacter cloacae also alleviated the damping-off. E. cloacae did not adversely affect the action of the fungal antagonists. The co-existence of the bacterial and fungal antagonists was revealed on the root surface and inner surface of the testa by scanning electron microscopy, indicating the compatibility of the biocontrol agents.     

细菌、真菌及植物氮营养信号研究进展

氮素吸收代谢是所有生物生命活动的核心部分,因此,各种生物对氮的吸收与同化过程都有精细的调节。这种调节依赖于生物对体内氮素状况信号及体外（生长介质中）氮素信号的感受。过去几十年中,在细菌、真菌中已经对氮素营养信号有了较好的研究,而植物中则相对缓慢,但也有了一定的认识。本文重点比较细菌、真菌及植物中氮信号系统的组成,以期为进一步认识植物中的氮信号接受与转导系统提供启示。     

Aircraft operations near concentrations of birds in Antarctica: The development of practical guidelines

Aircraft operations have the potential to disturb and to impact negatively on bird life. A gradient of increasing behavioural response is evident in birds when exposed to increasing aircraft stimulus. The most major disturbance is likely to lead to impacts on the health, breeding performance and survival of individual birds, and perhaps bird colonies. A process of revision to policies on aircraft operations contained in management plans for a number of specially protected areas in Antarctica by the United Kingdom, accompanied by consultations made within the scientific community through the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) and with operational interests through the Council of Managers of National Antarctic Programmes (COMNAP) resulted in new guidelines being adopted by the Antarctic Treaty Consultative Parties in June 2004. The principal recommendations of the guidelines are that bird colonies should not be overflown below 2000 ft (∼610 m) above ground level and landings within 1/2 nautical mile (∼930 m) of bird colonies should be avoided wherever possible. These guidelines are less stringent and less specific than those that were recommended by the SCAR specialist group on birds, and represent a compromise to accommodate operational needs. While the adoption of clear and consistent guidelines for the operation of aircraft in Antarctica is welcome in that this provides practical advice that is likely to reduce incidences of close aircraft/bird encounters, there remains insufficient knowledge of the interactions between aircraft and birds in Antarctica, and the consequent impacts on individual birds and on bird populations. It is important, therefore, that the guidelines adopted are considered interim, and should be kept under scrutiny with revisions made as new and improved research results appear.     

The abundance of heterocystous blue-green algae in rice soils and inocula used for application in rice fields

Summary Algal populations were quantified (as colony-forming units [CFU] per square centimetre) in 102 samples of rice soils from the Philippines, India, Malaysia and Portugal, and in 22 samples of soil-based inocula from four countries. Heterocystous blue-green algae (BGA) were present in all samples. Nostoc was the dominant genus in most samples, followed by Anabaena and Calothrix. In soils, heterocystous BGA occurred at densities ranging from 1.0 × 10² to 8.0 × 10⁶ CFU/cm² (median 6.4 × 10⁴) and comprised, on average, 9% of the total CFU of algae. Their abundance was positively correlated with the pH and the available P content of the soils. In soil-based inocula, heterocystous BGA occurred at densities ranging from 4.6 × 10⁴ to 2.8 × 10⁷ CFU/g dw (dry weight), comprising only a moderate fraction (average 13%) of the total algae. In most soils, the density of indigenous N₂-fixing BGA was usually higher than that attained by applying recommended rates of soil-based inoculum. Whereas research on the practical utilization of BGA has been mostly directed towards inoculation with foreign strains, our results suggest that attention should also be given to agricultural practices that enhance the growth of indigenous strains already adapted to local environmental conditions.Maître de Recherches ORSTOM (France), Visiting Scientist at IRRI
