Variability in response to toosendanin in a laboratory colony of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Trichoplusia ni</Emphasis>

Laboratory rearing of insects for scientific research ensures a constant supply of insects. However, laboratory colonies may diverge genetically and/or phenotypically from wild populations due to selection pressures in their artificial environment. This study examined how variation in a colony ofTrichoplusia ni influenced reproducibility over time of bioassays of toosendanin (a limonoid extracted from the bark ofMelia azedarach). In four of five experiments insect growth was reduced significantly (P=0.05) by the presence of toosendanin in the diet. The fifth experiment showed the same trend, but the effect was not significant. Mean larval mass of both control and treated insects also varied greatly among experiments. The considerable variability observed in this population highlights the importance of replicating experiments in time, and not just space, to confirm reproducibility of treatment effects. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Jan. 23, 2007.

A practitioner's guide to understanding equine infectious disease diagnostics in the United Kingdom. Part 1: How to optimise sampling approaches and a guide to agent detection testing methods

Diagnostic testing is routinely performed by the equine clinician when dealing with suspected infectious disease cases and outbreaks. Optimal sample timing, choice and handling are fundamental to attain an accurate diagnosis, and a good understanding of laboratory-based sample analysis techniques, and their validation is necessary for effective diagnostic test result interpretation. This two-part series highlights the importance of interpreting results bearing testing limitations and specific clinical findings in mind, and on these foundations, the treating clinician should always be well placed to deal with equine infectious diseases. Part 1 in this series will provide a treating clinician with an overview of the importance of testing horses in infectious disease outbreaks and how this is achieved. The different laboratory testing options available for agent detection and their methods will also be discussed. Part 2 will summarise serological (antibody) testing techniques, sample processing (including how tests are performed and validated) and result interpretation.     

马蹄金叶斑病发生与室内药剂毒力测定

通过对马蹄金叶斑病病原菌的分离、培养等研究,按照柯赫氏法则确定此病由胶孢炭疽菌和交链孢引起的.室内药剂毒力测定实验表明,保鲜克和百菌清对炭疽菌和交链孢菌丝的扩展蔓延作用较好,代森锌和退菌特对炭疽菌和交链孢的孢子萌发有较好的抑制作用.     

不同药剂处理毛竹的室内耐腐性

选择ACQ、铜唑、CCA、有机酸四类13种防腐剂对毛竹材进行处理,研究竹材的室内耐腐性能.结果表明:随着吸药量的增加,药剂对腐朽菌的抑制效力明显增加.ACQ防腐剂中,综合抗菌性能依次为ACQ-B、ACQ-D,ACQ-C对白腐菌的毒性最差,失重率约6%;铜唑类防腐剂对白腐菌的抗菌性最好的是CuAz-1,最差的是CuAz-2;对褐腐菌的抗菌性相差不大.通过对比,ACQ和铜唑类防腐剂的抗菌性与CCA相当,明显优于有机酸类防腐剂.

作物根系表型鉴定评价方法的现状与展望

根系是作物固定植株并吸收土壤水分和养分的主要器官,其表型特征直接影响作物的生产力和适应性。优化根系表型被认为是实现第二次“绿色革命”的重要途径之一。然而,根系的隐匿性、复杂性和可塑性极大地制约着根系表型鉴定效率,导致根系优化进程远远滞后于地上部器官。随着光谱成像、机器学习和三维重建等新技术的快速发展,根系表型鉴定方法逐渐由传统取样观测向原位、无损、自动化检测转变,评价依据由二维形态指标向立体构型参数拓展,促进了根系表型鉴定效率大幅提升,根系表型数据快速增长。与此同时,海量数据也带来了信息冗余及利用率低等问题,对根系表型研究提出了规范化和共享化的时代新要求。本文概述了现行主要根系表型鉴定方法的原理和技术要点,从精准度、通量和成本等方面对不同方法进行系统比较,并从使用许可、运行平台和分析方式等方面对常用根系表型量化软件进行归纳总结;进一步提出今后重点研究方向,即开发高效的田间根系表型鉴定方法,建立根系可塑性鉴定评价技术体系,加强根系解剖结构的鉴定和利用,强化分子检测技术在根系表型鉴定中的应用,推进根系表型鉴定技术规范化和数据信息共享化,以期为合理选用和改进作物根系表型鉴定评价方法提供参考,促进作物根系改良。
