Identification of differentially expressed genes associated with bud dormancy release in tree peony （Paeonia suffruticosa） by suppression subtractive hybridization

A subtractive cDNA library was developed to study genes associated with bud dormancy release in tree peonies.In order to identify genes that are highly expressed in buds released from dormancy,588 clones were examined by differential screening.Of these,185 clones were selected to be sequenced.A total of 37 unique sequences were obtained of which only 31 sequences have matches in the NCBI database or the Arabidopsis thaliana protein database.Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was used to confirm further the expression...     

黑龙江茴鱼(Thymallus arcticus grubei Dybowski)精子活力的观察

用BSS和水两种激活剂对黑龙江茴鱼精子活力进行测定,并在4℃和14℃(室温)条件下,对精原液和用ASP稀释的精液分别进行保存试验.试验结果显示,用BSS和水均可激活黑龙江茴鱼精子,其精子活率分别可达100%和98%.14℃条件下,用BSS激活黑龙江茴鱼精子平均寿命为72.1s,A级(快速)运动时间平均为14.1s;用水激活精子平均寿命为67.2s,A级运动时间平均为12.5s.不同温度保存的精子寿命和快速运动时间也有显著差异:精原液4℃保存2h后精子失去A级运动,其激活率在70%以上,保存6h后激活率小于20%;精原液14℃保存1.5h后精子失去A级运动,其激活率大于70%,4h后激活率小于20%.经ASP(pH分别为7.0、7.8、8.0、8.5、9.0)稀释的精液,在4℃和14℃条件下,BSS和water对精子的激活率均小于20%,且精子均呈现C、D级运动,1.5h后各保存组激活率为0.试验结果表明,BSS对黑龙江茴鱼的精子有良好的激活效果;精原液4℃保存效果好于14℃,在4℃保存条件下2h以内使用,可以得到理想的结果;精液不宜用ASP稀释保存.

Reduction of some toxicants in Icacina mannii by fermentation with Saccharomyces cerevisiae

The effect of fermentation on the level of some toxic components (hydrocyanic acid, phytic acid and oxalic acid) of Icacina mannii paste was investigated. The results indicate that fermentation caused a decrease in the level of these toxicants ranging from 178 mg/kg to 70 mg/kg for hydrocyanic acid, 638 mg/kg to 463 mg/kg for oxalic acid and 49 mg/kg to 21 mg/kg for phytic acid. When the paste was supplemented with acitve cells of Saccharomyces cerevisiae there was a marked decrease in the level of the three toxicants ranging from 84 mg/kg to 16 mg/kg for hydrocyanic acid, 374 mg/kg to 88 mg/kg for oxalic acid and 24 mg/kg to 5 mg/kg for phytic acid. Supplementing the paste with yeast cells at a concentration of 7.5 g/kg before fermenting, resulted in approximately a 90% reduction in the level of the three toxic compounds after 144 hours of fermentation.     

利用红外光谱研究‘凤丹白’牡丹花瓣伸展过程中物质变化

为了明确花瓣的伸展机制,以‘凤丹白’牡丹(Paeonia ostii)为研究对象,借助傅里叶变换红外光谱(Fourier Transformation Infrared Spectroscopy,FTIR)及高斯多峰拟合,分析蕾期、初开期和盛开期花瓣的波谱特征及蛋白质二级结构的差异性。主要结果如下:随着花朵开放花瓣伸展,777、1 105、1 155、1 243、1 447、1 651、1 740、2 853和2 926 cm~(-1)处的振动峰振动依次增强,表明磷脂质、核酸、脂类和蛋白质等代谢物质随花瓣的伸展逐渐增强;且蕾期1 030 cm~(-1)处的振动峰在花开后移至1 060 cm~(-1),表明蕾期花瓣细胞壁多糖以甘露聚糖为主,花朵开放后则以阿拉伯糖为主。蛋白质中甲基基团含量(A2 951 cm~(-1)/A 2 858 cm~(-1))出现平稳下降的趋势,初开期比蕾期减少7.97%,盛开期减少13.38%;糖蛋白的变化(A 1 083 cm~(-1)/A 1 547 cm~(-1))也呈现下降趋势,推测‘凤丹白’牡丹是通过蛋白质糖基化作用调控花瓣的伸展过程。对氨基Ⅰ区域(1 600~1 700 cm~(-1))高斯多峰拟合数据显示,各阶段花瓣中均含有果胶相连的β–折叠、β–折叠、无规卷曲、α–螺旋及环与转角;α–螺旋、β–折叠及无规卷曲所占比例在花瓣伸展过程中呈现增长趋势,表明蕾期花瓣通过降低α–螺旋应对缺水造成的生理胁迫,并可以利用ATP合成花瓣生长发育所需的物质;花瓣通过形成更多功能域较多的蛋白质,有效调控花瓣伸展时复杂的生物化学过程。

选取三江平原典型流域挠力河流域为研究区,以1990、2002和2014年3期Landsat影像、DEM数据和社会经济统计资料等多源数据为基本信息源,结合3S技术,运用FLUS模型定量模拟代表性浓度路径情景系列(RCPs)下耕地动态变化特征。结果表明:24 a间挠力河流域的旱地面积变化幅度较小,水田面积持续增加,1990—2002年水田扩张剧烈,2002—2014年扩张速度趋于缓和;3个时点的旱地均沿东北-西南轴方向进行分布,主轴沿顺时针缓慢旋转,空间变化稳定,分布范围逐渐减小。水田沿东北-西南走向分布,1990—2002年其主轴逆时针旋转,后顺时针旋转至45.31°,整体分布较为离散,极化特征不明显;通过对比不同空间分辨率及时间尺度下模拟精度,确定最优模拟空间分辨率为200 m,最优模拟时间点为2038年;MESSAGE气候模式下,未来挠力河流域的旱地面积先减少后增加,水田继续维持扩张态势,2029年后面积将以2%速度逐年下降,其分布将更加聚集,主轴沿顺时针旋转,重心逐渐向东北方向进行偏移;AIM气候模式下,气候波动对水田的影响程度大于旱地,旱地面积持续缓慢增加,水田面积在波动中下降,空间分布的极化特征突出。     

N-氨甲酰谷氨酸对奶牛超排效果及血液指标的影响

本研究旨在探讨饲喂N-氨甲酰谷氨酸（NCG）对奶牛超数排卵效果及血液生化指标的影响。选取荷斯坦育成牛16头，随机分为2组，每组8头，对照组饲喂基础饲粮，试验组在基础饲粮的基础上饲喂20 g/（d·头）的NCG，采用连续4 d递减注射FSH法测定NCG饲喂时间对供体牛超排效果的影响，分别在3次超排处理的第0、5、9天采集尾根静脉血测定激素指标及血清生化指标。结果表明，①NCG饲喂20 d时（第1次超排），试验组头均回收胚数、可用胚数、退化胚数、未受精卵数与对照组相比差异均不显著（P>0.05）；NCG饲喂50 d时（第2次超排），试验组头均回收胚数显著高于对照组（P<0.05）；NCG饲喂80 d时（第3次超排），试验组头均可用胚数显著高于对照组（P<0.05）；综合考虑3次超排效果，试验组头均回收胚数显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。②NCG饲喂时间对供体牛血清中促卵泡素、促黄体素、孕酮、雌二醇的浓度均无显著影响（P>0.05），说明NCG饲喂时间对奶牛生殖激素的分泌无影响或为次要影响因素，超排效果的变化与生殖激素变化无明显的关联作用。③NCG饲喂时间对供体牛血清中谷草转氨酶的浓度无显著影响（P>0.05）；在NCG饲喂13 d时，试验组供体牛血清中葡萄糖浓度显著高于对照组（P<0.05）；在NCG饲喂34 d时，试验组供体牛血清中尿素氮浓度显著低于对照组（P<0.05）；在NCG饲喂43和69 d时，试验组供体牛血清中一氧化氮浓度显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。综合考虑，在重复3次超排时，每头供体牛每天饲喂20 g NCG，可提高3次连续超排的回收胚数4.98枚及可用胚数1.8枚，进而降低胚胎的生产成本。     

Shape and distribution of knots in a sample of picea abies logs

In an attempt to develop a better understanding of the effect of knottiness on the yield of logs for sawn timber products, the present study examines the position and geometrical characteristics of 429 knots found in seven Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst) middle logs from southern Finland. The raw data used in this study were in the form of coordinates of points located on the knot surface recorded in a cylindrical (R, L, T) reference frame. The data were smoothed using a non linear three‐dimensional model. A curvature analysis of the knot pith was used to differentiate the curved and straight portions of the knots. This analysis made possible calculation of knot angles, symmetry, ovality and volume. The major finding of this study is the uneven distribution of knots around the log circumference. Nearly 50% of the total knot volume was concentrated in one‐third of the log facing the south‐east. Knots were also more prominent in higher portions of the logs studied. These observations support the argument that the uneven distribution of knots offers potential for improving the grade yield of timber sawn from trees harvested in high‐latitude countries.     

Changes in NMR Relaxation of Rice Grains,Kernel Quality and Physicochemical Properties in Response to a High Temperature after Flowering in Heat-Tolerant and Heat-Sensitive Rice Cultivars

Abstract

Rice productivity is related to the ability of plants to adapt to heat stress. The heat-tolerant cultivars ‘Nikomaru’ and ‘Chikushi 64’ and heat-sensitive cultivar ‘Hinohikari’ were grown at 30ºC and 25ºC for 49 days after flowering. At 30ºC, only a few white immature kernels were produced in ‘Nikomaru’ and ‘Chikushi 64’, but about 22% of grains had immature kernels in ‘Hinohikari’. The high temperature(30ºC) caused no significant changes in grain dry weight, water content, and the NMR T₁ value during the early ripening stage in ‘Nikomaru’ and ‘Chikushi 64’. It also did not affect grain development, especially with respect to the nucellar epidermis, in ‘Nikomaru’ and ‘Chikushi 64’, but caused clear cessation of development of the nucellar epidermis at 14 days after flowering in ‘Hinohikari’. In addition, high temperature decreased the amylose content and increased hardnessvs. adhesion ratio of cooked rice in both ‘Nikomaru’ and ‘Chikushi 64’ resulting a softer, less sticky texture, but not in ‘Hinohikari’. The maximum viscosity and breakdown values were increased, and final viscosity decreased at 30ºC in all three cultivars. These results suggested that starch in the endosperm of grains changed from a fluid state to a doughy state more slowly in ‘Nikomaru’ and ‘Chikushi 64’ than in ‘Hinohikari’, in which the water content and NMR relaxation time decreased, and transported assimilates accumulated slowly during grain development.
