Land-cover and structural changes in a western Norwegian cultural landscape since 1865, based on an old cadastral map and a field survey

Many studies of land-cover and structural changes in cultural landscapes have used historical maps as a source for information about past land-cover. All transformations of historical maps onto modern coordinate systems are however burdened with difficulties when it comes to accuracy. We show that a detailed land survey of the present landscape may enable transformation of an old cadastral map directly onto the present terrain with very high accuracy. The detailed resulting map enabled us to locate remnants of semi-natural grasslands and man-made structures with continuity from 1865 and to test hypotheses about relationships between landscape changes and landscape characteristics. The main land-cover change 1865–2002 was decrease of arable fields, and addition of three new land-cover classes: horticultural, orchard and abandoned areas. Of the 330 man-made structures present in 1865, only 58 remained in 2002, while 63 new structures had been built after 1865. We found that semi-natural grasslands with continuity since 1865 were situated on ground with significantly lower production capacity than mean 1865 production capacity. The man-made structures with continuity since 1865 were also associated with areas with significantly lower production capacity than the 1865 mean, situated in significantly steeper terrain but not further from the hamlet. Our study illustrates the potential of digitised and accurately transformed historical cadastral maps combined with detailed field surveys for analysis of land-cover and structural changes in the cultural landscape.     

Improved protocol for Agrobacterium mediated transformation of tomato and production of transgenic plants containing carotenoid biosynthetic gene CsZCD

Improved protocol for Agrobacterium mediated transformation of tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum) Micro-Tom was developed to use in corporation of the carotenoid biosynthetic genes CsZCD (Crocus zeaxanthin 7,8-cleavage dioxygenase). From these experiment, a transformation methodology using explants from cotyledons cultured for 1 day on the medium with zeatin 2 mg/L, IAA 0.1 mg/L, carefully submerged in the Agrobacterium inoculum for 20 min, then concultured with the agrobacterium for 3 days on the same medium, followed by a transfer to the same medium with 500 mg/L cefotaxin for 3 days and then by a transfer to the same medium with 100 mg/L kanamycin and 500 mg/L carabenillin for 6–8 weeks and resulted in a greater than 20% transformation efficiency in the concentration of Agrobacterium OD600 = 0.2 tested. In this transformation method, no feeder layers were used and the subculture media was minimal. Among the Agrobacterium concentrations of OD600 = 0.2, 0.5 and 1.0, the best transformation efficiency, 20.87%, was obtained by using OD600 = 0.2, which was significantly higher than that of OD600 = 1.0. The presence of the inserted target genes was checked using a rapid and efficient PCR test. The protocol was successfully employed in the production of transgenic Micro-Tom tomato containing the carotenoid biosynthesis CsZCD under constructive promoter. This procedure represents a simple, efficient and general means of transforming tomato.

地域民族传统文化与西部开发中技术转移关系的思考

地域民族传统文化与技术转移的关系密切,地域民族传统文化不仅是一种重要的文化资源,同时还对技术转移存在极大的促进作用,但有时还会阻碍技术转移的进一步实施与实现。西部大开发必须进行必要的技术转移,由于少数民族地区某些文化的滞后性和封闭性,使西部开发中技术转移与其民族传统文化产生了摩擦,超越传统文化,克服陈旧意识,转变思想观念,不断创新,营造先进的文化环境,为技术转移培育强劲的民族文化内动力,是消除技术转移与传统民族文化摩擦的有效措施。     

农牧交错带适度人口规模与人口再分布初步研究——以阴山北部丘陵区武川县为例

农牧交错带即是国家一直重视的区域也是众多专家学者高度关注的区域,作为一个生态脆弱区,人口、环境与社会经济的协调发展一直是寻根问底的问题。在众多的研究成果中多从生态环境优化、土地利用、经济发展等角度进行了探讨。本文在众多学者研究基础上,测算了土地适度人口规模、经济适度人口规模,并进一步测算了武川县乡城人口转化的进程与规模,从理论与现实角度展示了控制人口,加快转化的必要性。     

渭河下游水沙变化趋势分析

本文通过对近6年渭河下游水沙量数据的统计和分析得出,渭河下游河段年内多沙期较河流主汛期有所提前;年径流量和年输沙量的变化趋势基本一致,而且自60年代至2005年华县站的水沙量持续呈递减趋势;河流的冲淤情况与该河段的降雨量有着直接的关系,当年平均降雨量小的时候河流以淤积为主,当年平均降雨量大的时候河流以冲蚀为主。针对这些特征,分析了渭河下游目前存在的主要问题。

小麦小分子RNA TaMIR1129介导植株抵御低氮逆境功能研究

本研究针对迄今有关小麦小分子RNA(miRNA)家族成员介导植株氮素吸收和利用机理尚少见报道的现状,对TaMIR1129的表达特征和介导植株抵御低氮逆境功能进行了研究。结果表明,TaMIR1129呈低氮胁迫诱导表达,表现为随氮浓度降低(0.02~6mmol/L)和处理时间延长(0~48h)表达水平不断增高特征。此外,低氮诱导的高表达水平在恢复供氮后表达下调。表明该miRNA对介质中氮素应答呈典型的时间及浓度依赖特征。TaMIR1129作用2个靶基因,包括Molybdenum cofactor sulfurase(TaMCS)和Major facilitator family transporter(TaMFFT),上述基因应答低氮特征与TaMIR1129相反。遗传转化结果表明,超表达TaMIR1129具有显著增强植株抵御低氮逆境的能力。表现为与野生型对照相比,转基因系Sen 1和Sen 2低氮处理后植株形态增大,干质量增加,氮累积量增多。表明TaMIR1129与作用靶基因构建miRNA/target模块在介导植株抵御低氮逆境中发挥重要作用。
