叶面喷施生物刺激素对番茄幼苗高温胁迫的减缓效应

为探明生物刺激素在缓解番茄幼苗高温伤害中的作用及相关生理机制,以耐热番茄品种‘LA2093’、中等耐热番茄品种‘硬粉8号’和热敏感番茄品种‘LA2683’为试验材料,研究高温胁迫下叶面喷施3种不同种类的生物刺激素(海藻提取物、壳寡糖、矿源黄腐酸)对番茄幼苗生长和相关生理指标的影响。结果表明,叶面喷施适宜种类和浓度的生物刺激素可以有效缓解高温胁迫对番茄幼苗带来的伤害。具体表现为:幼苗叶片萎蔫程度减轻,整株死亡现象减少,热害指数相比高温对照(HT)显著降低,降幅最高可达72.9%,植株的生物量也显著增加;同时,叶片的电解质渗透率和丙二醛(MDA)含量显著降低,最高降幅分别为26.8%和58.9%;脯氨酸(Pro)和可溶性蛋白含量显著增加,最高增幅分别为52.5%和19.0%。在高温胁迫下,生物刺激素通过增强番茄幼苗的渗透调节系统功能,缓解了膜脂过氧化的伤害,从而缓解高温对幼苗生长的抑制作用。不同生物刺激素的作用效果与番茄品种特性及其处理浓度有关。由此建议,在生产上叶面喷施100mg/L矿源黄腐酸缓解番茄幼苗高温伤害。     

热休克法诱导日本沼虾四倍体的初步研究

以热休克抑制受精卵第一次卵裂，进行日本沼虾四倍体诱导实验，热休克温度在３８、３９、４０和４１℃，于产卵２１０￣２３０分钟后，处理１￣２分钟均可获得四倍体胚胎，４０℃处理１．５分钟，四倍体胚胎诱导率达３６．８％，３８和３９℃处理２分钟后所获得的嵌合体胚胎比率大于四倍胚胎比率，而热休克温度４０℃时，四倍体率显著高于合体比率，４１℃处理时由于有丝分裂异常导致胚胎死亡率高，更适宜的处理时间有待进一步研究，     

海藻糖对冻藏过程中鳙肌原纤维蛋白冷冻变性的影响

从鳙（Aristicktkys nobilis）肌肉中提取肌原纤维蛋白，在蛋白溶液中加入10％（W／V）蔗糖、山梨醇混合物（质量比1：1）或10％（W／V）海藻糖。蛋白溶液在-18℃下冻藏30d，测定冻藏过程中肌原纤维蛋白盐溶性、Ca^2＋-ATPase活性、活性巯基含量、总巯基含量、表面疏水性变化和冻藏结束时的SDS-PAGE。测定结果表明，蔗糖、山梨醇混合物和海藻糖都抑制了冻藏过程中肌原纤维蛋白盐溶性、Ca^2＋-ATPase活性、巯基含量的降低和表面疏水性的升高，延缓了鳙肌原纤维蛋白的冷冻变性。海藻糖比蔗糖、山梨醇混合物有更好的抗冷冻变性效果。[中国水产科学，2006，13（4）：637—641]     

巴氏杀菌加热中3种淡水鱼肌肉的变性研究

将鲤、鲢和罗非鱼肌肉在巴氏杀菌条件 ( 75℃和 80℃ )下加热 ,测定其Vp值、升温曲线的斜率 fh 值、失水率以及过氧化物酶活力的变化特点。结果表明 ,3种鱼中罗非鱼肌肉升温速度最快 ,鲤最慢 ;罗非鱼肌肉过氧化物酶完全失活所需的Vp值最高 ;随加热温度升高 ,鲢失水率增加最多 ,而罗非鱼变化最小。在巴氏杀菌条件下 ,不同鱼类肌肉失水率对加热温度、Vp值变化的敏感性存在较大差异。因此 ,在生产中应根据加热温度、Vp、失水率等参数合理制定各鱼种相应的巴氏杀菌工艺条件     

有机铬对热应激蛋鸡血清生化指标的影响

目的,研究有机铬对热应激蛋鸡血清中某些生化指标的影响。方法,将处于热应激条件下的192只35周龄新罗曼褐壳蛋鸡随机分为6组,分别饲喂不添加铬的玉米-豆粕型基础饲粮和添加10、20、40及50mg/kg铬的试验饲粮49d结果:试验组中血糖、胆固醇、总蛋白、球蛋白平均含量均低于对照组,并且添加20mg/kg铬组的血糖、胆固醇、白蛋白含量与对照组相比差异显著(P<0.05)。对于AKP活性,添加40mg/kg铬组与对照组相比差异显著(P<0.05),其它各组间相比均为差异不显著(P>0.05)。对于尿酸含量,添加50mg/kg铬组与对照组相比为差异显著。结论:有机铬具有缓解热应激的作用。     

Aortic expression of HSP22, TNF-α and eNOS in rats with hyperlipidemia and effects of atorvastatin

AIM:To establish a rat hyperlipidemia model for studying the aortic expression of heat shock protein 22 (HSP22), tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and the effect of atorvastatin intervention. METHODS:Hyperlipidemia model was established in SD rats. Afterwards, the rats were divided into normal control group, high fat group and high fat+atorvastatin intervention group. The expression of HSP22 and TNF-α in the rat aortas was detected by immunohistochemical assay and the expression of eNOS was assessed by Western blotting. RESULTS:No detectable expression of HSP22 and TNF-α in the normal control group was observed. However, the expression of HSP22 and TNF-α was positive in the high fat group and the atorvastatin intervention group. The mean densities of HSP22 and TNF-α positive particles were significant lower in the atorvastatin intervention group as compared with high fat group (both P＜0.05). The expression of eNOS protein in the high fat group and atorvastatin intervention group was significantly lower than that in normal control group (P<0.01). However, no marked difference of eNOS protein expression between high fat group and atorvastatins intervention group was observed. CONCLUSION: The expression of HSP22 and TNF-α in the rat aortas is increased in the hyperlipidemia rat model. This effect can be restored by atorvastatin treatment. The expression of eNOS in the rat aortas is decreased in the hyperlipidemia rat model, but this tendency could not be attenuated by atorvastatin.     

辣椒苗期耐热性及其生理生化特性研究

对6个耐热性不同的辣椒品种进行高温处理,计算热害指数,并研究辣椒幼苗叶片中超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化物酶的活性变化,以及丙二醛、脯氨酸的含量变化。结果表明,辛香8号和辛香24号耐热性较强;随着胁迫温度的升高,辣椒叶片中SOD的活性均表现为先上升后下降;POD活性与品种耐热性无明显相关性;MDA含量和脯氨酸含量与胁迫温度呈正相关。SOD活性、PRO和MDA含量变化可以作为辣椒耐热性鉴定的生理指标,而POD活性则不适合用于鉴定辣椒的耐热性。     

Heat stress: A major contributor to poor animal welfare associated with long-haul live export voyages

Recent investigations by the Australian Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry into high mortalities on live export voyages from Australia to the Middle East during the Northern hemisphere summer suggest that animal welfare may be compromised by heat stress. The live export industry has generated a computer model that aims to assess the risk of heat stress and to contain mortality levels on live export ships below certain arbitrary limits. Although the model must be complied with under Australian law, it is not currently available for independent scientific scrutiny, and there is concern that model and the mandated space allowances are inadequate. This review appraises the relevant literature on heat stress in sheep and cattle, including laboratory studies aimed at mimicking the ambient temperatures and humidity levels likely to be encountered on live export voyages. Animal welfare is likely to be very poor as a result of heat stress in some shipments.
