麦瘟病与小麦抗麦瘟基因研究进展

小麦麦瘟病,由梨孢菌小麦专化型(Magnaporthe oryzae, sp. Triticum, MoT) 侵染所致,最早于1985年在巴西发现,随后传播到其他南美国家。2016与2017年,麦瘟病登陆亚洲,相继在孟加拉国和印度暴发,对亚洲乃至全世界的小麦生产形成了潜在威胁。近年来,世界各国的科学家对麦瘟病进行了广泛和深入的研究,取得了较大进展。本文对小麦麦瘟病病原菌、侵染过程、流行因素和小麦抗病基因的研究进展进行了综述,并介绍了小麦麦瘟病抗性评价的方法。本研究组研究发现,在人工接种条件下,水稻来源的稻瘟病菌株(MoO)可侵染小麦引起典型麦瘟症状。笔者认为,虽然目前我国还没有麦瘟病发生的报道,但部分地区存在麦瘟病的发病条件,随着全球气候变暖麦瘟病有暴发的可能,需引起高度重视。建议加快麦瘟病发病机理及小麦抗性基因发掘的研究,以提升我国麦瘟病的研究水平,并为预防麦瘟病的发生未雨绸缪。     

海上平台立式长轴消防泵转子静力学特性分析

为了研究立式长轴消防泵转子的静力学特性,以XBC18-178-240LC3型号的立式长轴消防泵为研究对象.首先根据设计参数通过Creo建立了立式长轴消防泵内部流场的三维模型以及转子的物理模型,采用CFX对该泵在0.20Q_d,0.65Q_d,1.00Q_d,1.20Q_d,1.40Q_d和1.50Q_d这6种工况下进行三级泵内流场的定常数值模拟;然后把物理模型导入ANSYS Workbench中,并根据实际运行过程设置约束条件,根据模块耦合功能,将流场的模拟结果导入固体结构实现单向流固耦合,对转子模型进行了带预应力的静力学特性分析.结果表明:叶轮内部受到的流体载荷随叶轮级数增加而增大,随流量增加而减小;转子总变形量的最大值位于第三级叶轮后盖板的边缘处,等效应力与等效应变的最大值位于第三级叶轮后盖板边缘与叶片出口边的交点上,都随流量增加而减小;在0.20Q_d,0.65Q_d,1.00Q_d和1.50Q_d这4种工况下转子的最大等效应力为118.23 MPa,小于其许用应力250 MPa,符合强度要求;该泵的工作转速1 485 r/min小于其0.85倍的一阶临界转速,符合动力学设计要求.因此,在满足安全运行的工况下,XBC18-178-240LC3型号的立式长轴消防泵满足设计要求和使用要求.     

在线评论特征对生鲜电商农产品销量的影响——来自淘宝羊肉大数据的证据

为探索在线评论对生鲜电商运营效果的影响,本研究基于信息采纳模型的框架,搭建在线评论作用于销量的理论模型,以生鲜羊肉产品为研究对象,利用Python爬虫的数据采集方式,获取淘宝平台上所有生鲜羊肉产品的月度截面数据,运用"OLS+稳健标准误"逐步回归的方法,从农产品销量的维度分析在线评论的影响,探讨评论区域中获取的评论数量、评论长度、差评数量和可视化评论对生鲜电商农产品销量的直接作用及交互效应。结果表明:在线评论数量、可视化评论能够显著提高生鲜农产品销量,差评数量则会明显降低生鲜电商的销量,而评论长度作用于生鲜农产品销量的效果并不显著。在线评论特征间的交互效应分析表明,差评能够削弱图片以及评论数量对销量的正向作用,图片能够加强评论长度对销量的积极作用,而差评的负面作用能够被评论长度进行一定程度的中和。因此,生鲜电商经营应当注重差评反映的意见,规避差评的重复出现;采用合理措施鼓励消费者进行评论,且撰写含有图片、评论字数较多的评价,均是增进信任机制、促进生鲜电商销量行之有效的办法。     

Infection-interactions in Ethiopian village chickens

Chickens raised under village production systems are exposed to a wide variety of pathogens, and current or previous infections may affect their susceptibility to further infections with another parasite, and/or can alter the manifestation of each infection. It is possible that co-infections may be as important as environmental risk factors. However, in cross-sectional studies, where the timing of infection is unknown, apparent associations between infections may be observed due to parasites sharing common risk factors. This study measured antibody titres to 3 viral (Newcastle disease, Marek's disease and infectious bursal disease) and 2 bacterial (Pasteurella multocida and Salmonella) diseases, and the infection prevalence of 3 families of endo- and ecto-parasites (Ascaridida, Eimeria and lice) in 1056 village chickens from two geographically distinct populations in Ethiopia. Samples were collected during 4 cross-sectional surveys, each approximately 6 months apart. Constrained ordination, a technique for analysis of ecological community data, was used to explore this complex dataset and enabled potential relationships to be uncovered and tested despite the different measurements used for the different parasites. It was found that only a small proportion of variation in the data could be explained by the risk factors measured. Very few birds (9/1280) were found to be seropositive to Newcastle disease. Positive relationships were identified between Pasteurella and Salmonella titres; and between Marek's disease and parasitic infections, and these two groups of diseases were correlated with females and males, respectively. This may suggest differences in the way that the immune systems of male and female chickens interact with these parasites. In conclusion, we find that a number of infectious pathogens and their interactions are likely to impact village chicken health and production. Control of these infections is likely to be of importance in future development planning.     

Purified Culture Systems for Bovine Oviductal Stromal Cells

Isolated stromal cells from the ampullary and isthmic parts of bovine oviductal tissues were cultured in monolayer and spheroid (cell aggregate) systems. Prostaglandin F2α (PGF) plays a crucial role in oviductal contraction and is produced by oviductal epithelial cells in cattle. Since stromal cells of many organs produce PGF, PGF production by bovine oviductal stromal cells was investigated. After PGF synthesis was confirmed, the utility of isolation and culture methods for oviductal stromal cells was evaluated by PGF production in the present study. The homogeneity of the cells was > 99%. PGF production of the cells was increased by tumor necrosis factor-α. The stromal cells aggregated and formed a spheroid by the treatments with several reagents. PGF production was higher in the spheroid culture than in the monolayer culture. The isolation and culture methods described here will facilitate studies of the physiological function of bovine oviductal stromal cells.     

Fe2+、Cd2+互作对小麦幼苗生长发育的影响

为研究小麦生长发育过程中Fe2+、Cd2+的交互作用机制,以周麦18为材料,利用营养液培养,采用不同的Fe2+浓度(2.5、25、250 μmol/L)和Cd2+浓度(0、5、50、200 μmol/L)处理,观测小麦幼苗期的生长特性.结果表明,不添加Cd2+的处理,Fe2+浓度不同对小麦苗期根系及地上部生长的影响不同.低Fe2+时根系干物质积累随着处理时间增加而不断增加,浓度升高后根系干物质先增加后降低,根长随着Fe2上浓度升高而有所降低,少量Cd2+在一定程度上抵消了高Fe2+对小麦根系生长的抑制作用.叶绿素含量变化与根长变化表现基本一致.不同Fe2+浓度对小麦地上部干物质积累的影响与根长和叶绿素变化相反.Fe2+浓度较低时,小麦地上部干物质积累对Cd2+较为敏感,且Cd2+的存在抑制了小麦地上部的生长,降低了干物质的积累;Fe2+浓度增大,少量Cd2+的存在更有利于地上部的生长,但Cd2+浓度较高时又会抑制小麦地上部的生长.     

Breeding for improved appearance of large rainbow trout in two production environments

A quantitative genetic analysis was performed to study potential to breed for improved body shape, skin colour and skin spottiness of large rainbow trout in sea and fresh water production environments, and in different stages of growth. The results showed that heritabilities in both production environments were moderate for body shape and skin colour and very high for skin spots. For body shape and skin spots, genetic correlation between the two production environments was high (r_A≥0.90), revealing weak genotype‐by‐environment interactions across the environments. For skin colour, genetic correlation between the environments was positive (0.78) but lower than for body shape and skin spots, indicating moderate genotype‐by‐environment interactions. Genetic correlations between 2‐ and 3‐year‐old fish were high for body shape and skin spots (r_A≥0.93) and moderate for skin colour (0.85), showing that differences among families persisted strongly during growth. The positive correlations between the environments and between the ages imply that selection in fresh water environment at a single point of time should lead to favourable correlated genetic responses in the sea and at the other stages of growth.     

Effects of 2 training methods on stress-related behaviors of the dog (Canis familiaris) and on the dog–owner relationship

Instrumental learning plays an important role in dog–human interactions. The recent demand for pet dog training has resulted in the development of various training methods. The present exploratory study aims to compare the effects of 2 training methods on both the behavioral welfare of the dog and the dog–owner relationship: the first method is based on positive reinforcement (appearance of an appetitive stimulus), whereas the second method is based on negative reinforcement (disappearance of an aversive stimulus). The study compared behaviors linked to signs of stress and attentive behaviors toward the owner in 2 dog training schools, which used different methods. Walking on-leash activity and obeying the “sit” command were studied. The results show that dogs from the school using a negative reinforcement–based method demonstrated lowered body postures and signals of stress, whereas dogs from the school using a positive reinforcement–based method showed increased attentiveness toward their owner. However, neither method affected avoidance behaviors. This exploratory study reveals the differential effects of the 2 training methods on dogs' behaviors; it suggests that training methods based on positive reinforcement are less stressful and potentially better for their welfare.
