Effect of the Pietrain breed used as terminal boar on Post-weaning Multisystemic Wasting Syndrome (PMWS) in the offspring in four PMWS-affected farms

The aim of this study was to determine the potential risk factors for PMWS at the individual pig level and assess the effect of the Pietrain paternal genetic background of the animals in a cohort study. The survey was set up in four PMWS-affected farms with 2 repetitions (batches) per farm. A representative sample of 60 pigs per batch, stratified according to the paternal genetic background (Pietrain: yes vs. no), was randomly selected after farrowing. The representative cohort was divided into 8 batches and the pigs were individually monitored from birth to slaughter. Survival analysis was used to determine the factors related to the time to PMWS. The litter-cluster effect was taken into account using the marginal Cox model (robust estimation of the covariance matrix) and the gamma shared frailty model which were compared.No protective effect of the Pietrain breed on the time to PMWS and the proportion of affected pigs in the offspring was found in this study. Piglets showing low circovirus type 2 (PCV2) titres at 7 weeks-old with no subsequent seroconversion and piglets from PCV2 negative sows were most likely to be affected by PMWS (HR=7.0 and 2.8, respectively). Active infection of the pregnant dams with parvovirus was related to an increased risk of PMWS in the offspring (HR=2.3). Neck injuries due to poorly performed injections in the dams were associated with an increased risk of PMWS with the marginal model (HR=2.1). Oxytocin injection (dams) during farrowing was protective against PMWS in the offspring (HR=0.6).     

瓜类嫁接栽培技术探讨

Therapeutic effects of recombinant human growth hormone on rat sepsis

AIM:To investigate therapeutic effects of recombinant human growth hormone(rhGH) on rat sepsis and its possible mechanisms.METHODS:Mean arterial pressure (MAP), levels of plasma TNFα, IL-1β and endotoxin, leukocyte count and survival rate within 1 week were determined after E. coli injection among control group, sepsis group and sepsis+rhGH group.RESULTS:(1)rhGH diminished the decrease of MAP, reduced plasma endotoxin and TNFα levels and increased neutrophil ratio in total leukocytes in sepsis rat. rhGH increased survival rate within 1 week on sepsis rat. (2)No changes were found in IL-1β level among the three groups.CONCLUSION:rhGH showed desirable beneficial effects on rat sepsis, which may attribute to: improving circulatory function;maintaining intestinal mucosa barrier, attenuating bacteria/endotoxin translocation and inhibiting the production and release of TNFα.     

嫁接、环剥对铁在果树体内分配的影响

嫁接方法、环剥对铁在果树体内的分配有影响。59Fe试验结果表明,室内营养液培养的2年生长富2/八棱海棠腹接、劈接和切接叶中59Fe的分配比例分别为4.10%、1.06%、1.21%,腹接的品种叶中铁含量显著高于劈接和切接,环剥明显影响铁在叶中的含量,室内营养液培养的八棱海棠苗在环剥、环割和不处理对照叶中59Fe的分配比例分别为8.1%、17.2%、31.7%,各处理间差异均达显著水平。     

华北驼绒藜雨季移栽成活率研究

本文是不同季节移栽华北驼绒藜(Ceratoides arborescens)系列研究之一。干旱区春季生态建植有补水之苦,雨季移栽表明,不需坐水或补水,成活率可高达60%,浸根可提高成活率至90%;说明雨季移栽是可行的。移栽植株数日内叶片含水量和叶绿素含量急剧下降、脯氨酸含量骤然升高,含量恢复过程则较缓慢,说明移栽使植株突然损伤,但终能恢复至正常生理状态。     

普通钢架大棚甜瓜嫁接砧木品种筛选试验

在普通钢架大棚内,以实生苗为对照,对引进的5个甜瓜砧木品种进行甜瓜嫁接比较试验。试验结果表明,5个砧木品种嫁接苗成活率均在90%以上,其植株和瓜的生长特性、产量和品质均没有显著差异,与实生苗之间亦无显著差异,综合性状表现较好的砧木品种为日本青秀和亮丽王。     

欧洲卫矛嫁接技术

以欧洲卫矛为试验材料,研究了接穗粗度、嫁接季节和嫁接方法、嫁接切口绑扎方式不同处理对欧洲卫矛嫁接成活率的影响。结果表明:欧洲卫矛嫁接的最佳接穗粗度为0.55~0.60 cm,成活率可达83.84%;嫁接最佳季节为秋季,最佳嫁接方式为切接,秋季切接是最好的嫁接处理组合,成活率达到87.88%;用塑料薄膜绑扎切口后再用塑料袋罩住嫁接切口的欧洲卫矛嫁接成活率为83.95%,高于其他绑扎方式。     

修剪方式对广玉兰大树移植成活率及生长的影响

为提高大树移植成活率及探索修剪方式与大树移植成活生长的关系,以20a以上生广玉兰为试材,以全冠移植为对照(CK),分别采用剪去1/3枝叶量的轻度修剪(QX)、剪去2/3枝叶量的中度修剪(ZX)和不留枝叶的截干回缩修剪(JX)3种方式修剪后移植,经过3a连续试验观察,研究不同修剪方式对广玉兰大树移植成活率和生长的影响。结果表明,与CK相比,3种修剪方式极显著提高广玉兰移植后的成活率和新生叶片数、第2年(2013年)和第3年(2014年)的侧梢数、侧梢长度和底径以及第1年(2012年)和第3年(2014年)冠幅生长;与其他2种修剪方式相比,JX显著提高广玉兰移植成活率、第2年(2013年)和第3年(2014年)的侧梢数、顶梢长度、侧梢长度及冠幅生长以及第3年(2014年)的新生叶片数;显著提高第2年(2013年)和第3年(2014年)的侧梢底径。表明截干回缩修剪更有利于广玉兰大树移植的成活和复壮生长。     

超高产大豆砧木对不同年代育成品种农艺性状的影响

以超高产大豆品种为砧木嫁接不同年代育成品种,旨在明确超高产品种砧木对农艺性状的影响,从而揭示根系改良在大豆育种中的重要作用。以来自相同的祖先亲本(Williams和Amsoy)且地理纬度相同的美国俄亥俄州和中国辽宁省不同年代育成的代表性大豆品种为接穗,分别与超高产大豆品种辽豆14和中黄35进行嫁接,成熟期测定植株农艺性状。结果表明:嫁接处理对大豆品种的农艺性状存在显著影响。自身嫁接的植株与不嫁接植株相比,其农艺性状没有显著变化。与品种自身作砧木的植株相比,嫁接到超高产品种辽豆14或中黄35砧木上时,不同年代育成品种的株高、主茎节数、分枝数等性状没有显著变化,但单株荚数、百粒重、粒茎比和单株粒重会显著提高。其中,与品种自身作砧木的植株相比,嫁接到超高产品种砧木上,共同亲本、俄亥俄中期、辽宁中期、俄亥俄当代、辽宁当代的大豆品种单株产量分别提高了4.5%、6.9%、9.4%、15.7%、19.9%。由此说明,根系改良会带来大豆品种产量的大幅度提高。
