Lactation-related mammary gland pathologies—A neglected emergency in the bitch

Mastitis is a common reproductive disorder in bitches, reaching a prevalence of 0.71%. Mastitis has a wide range of forms, from asymptomatic to severe gangrenous mastitis that can lead to septic shock and death of the bitch and nurslings. However, most of the time it is overlooked, undiagnosed or mistreated. The present systematic review was performed to revise and summarize the existing knowledge related to this disorder, including diagnosis, treatment and prevention.     

Phenotypic and allelic variation for wort protein Z in Australian and Canadian barleys

Protein Z is a major component in beer foam. Two-dimensional electrophoresis was used to analyze wort proteins of two Australian (Buloke and Commander) and two Canadian (CDC Meredith and Bentley) varieties. The Canadian barley contained more abundant proteins from MW 40–45 kDa (pI 5 to 7). These proteins were identified as either protein Z4 or protein Z7 using liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Full-length gene of protein Z4 and Z7 were sequenced from Canadian and Australian barleys. Sequence differences were identified in the coding region and upstream regions of the two genes, resulting in protein sequence and expression variations. Molecular markers were designed according to the indels in the upstream regions of protein Z4 and Z7 genes. These markers were highly correlated to wort protein Z content in Canadian and Australian varieties. The Canadian barleys contained ‘high level’ genotypes for protein Z4 and Z7 while most Australian barleys had ‘low level’ genotypes for protein Z4, Z7 or both. The markers identified in this study provide a valuable tool for the selection of protein Z alleles in marker-assisted breeding. Total protein Z content was assessed using different steeping conditions, and increasing air-rest time increased protein Z content in 15 varieties.

生物技术在农业领域的应用

生物技术包括基因工程、细胞工程、酶工程等,在农业领域有着广阔发展前景.生物技术可保障粮食安全,促进农村农业经济的发展,提高农业产出效益,同时能为医药工业及其它产业提到原料.农业生物技术是新兴的现代技术,还不能在传统农业中大规模推广应用.     

高寒半干旱地区4种牧草的适应性及坪用价值

[目的]通过冷地早熟禾（Poa crymophila）、中华羊茅（Festuca sinensis cv.）、星星草（Puccinella tenuiflora）和野生早熟禾（wild Poa pratensis）4种小草籽的引进繁育,观察小草籽品种的适应性和坪用性,筛选出抗逆性强、管理粗放、适应城市绿化栽植的人工草坪地植被品种,为品种资源的开发打下良好基础。[方法]2009年在青海省共和盆地木格滩高寒半干旱地区种植牧草田,2010年观察牧草各品种的越冬性能、生长习性、适用性和坪用性。[结果]4种牧草品种越冬率均在95.0%以上,表现出耐寒、越冬性极强的特点。中华羊茅生育期最长,其次是冷地早熟禾,野生早熟禾和星星草生育期最短。持续高温干旱天气对中华羊茅生长发育有明显影响,而对其他3种牧草的影响较小。4种牧草品种的实际草籽产量顺序依次为中华羊茅〉野生早熟禾〉冷地早熟禾〉星星草。中华羊茅产草量和地上生物产量比星星草、冷地早熟禾和野生早熟禾高。种子产量中,中华羊茅最大,其次是星星草,冷地早熟禾和野生早熟禾种子产量相同,最小。[结论]中华羊茅、星星草、冷地早熟禾和野生早熟禾均适用于海拔3 000 m以上地区种植。
