Ecology of the earthworm Allolobophora carpathica in field and laboratory studies

Allolobophora carpathica is an earthworm species found in the Eastern Carpathian mountain region, but little information is available on its ecology. Field sampling in beech woodland of the Bieszczady National Park, SE Poland, found this species in soils with a pH of less than 5.0 and C:N ratios of 12 to 13. From sampling over 2 years, at 4 sites with differing sub-vegetation, a mean density of A. carpathica of 6.75 individuals m^-2 with a biomass of 8.65 g.m^-2 was recorded. The largest mature adults were in excess of 14.0 g but there were significant differences (p < 0.01) between sampling sites. Seasonal patterns of abundance were observed.To obtain more data on the growth and breeding biology of this species, specimens were collected from the field, taken to laboratories and maintained in mesocosms under controlled environmental conditions. Cocoon production was 0.88 cocoons per earthworm per month at 15^oC, but under fluctuating temperature conditions (16 - 24^oC) no cocoon production occurred. The mean cocoon biomass was 83 mg  (n = 104) and incubation took 178 days at 15^oC (n = 14), although hatchability was low (22%) under these conditions. Growth from the hatchling stage, (mean mass 86 mg; n = 18), to maturity (c. 8.5 g) took 8 - 12 months at 12^oC.     

中药有效成分对小鼠2-细胞胚胎体外发育的作用

如何获得更多具有活力的可操作的桑椹胚、囊胚一直是胚胎体外培养的研究热点。近二十年来,虽经采用改进培养液成分、改善培养条件、建立体细胞与胚胎共培养体系和添加生长因子、细胞因子等手段,胚胎质量有所提高,但体外受精卵的囊胚发育率仍远低于体内受精,与体内受精囊胚相比,体外受精囊胚的细胞总数和内细胞团细胞数量明显减少,胚胎移植妊娠率和产仔率较低,这些问题均严重影响了胚胎工厂化生产和胚胎产业化的发展,以及育种工作的进程。因此,探索开辟胚胎体外培养生长发育的新途径,提高其发育率和移植妊娠率显得尤为必要。目前,国内外有关中草药有效成分对体外胚胎发育作用的研究甚少。本研究以ICR小鼠2-细胞胚胎为试验材料,将中药有效成分黄芩苷(Baicalin,Bai)、川芎嗪(Ligustrazine,Lig)和小檗碱(Berberine,BR)添加于mCZB基础液中,并以添加双抗的mCZB基础液为试验对照组,比较其对胚胎体外发育的影响。结果表明,体外培养120 h的胚胎孵化率,Bai组(80.6%)、Lig组(78.3%)及BR组(75.9%)极显著高于对照组(51.8%)(P<0.01)。孵化胚胎细胞计数,BR组、Lig组和Bai组(分别为87.2±8.6、83.9±7.7和81.9±6.2),与对照组(77.4±5.6)差异极显著(P<0.01)。说明3种中药有效成分均能显著促进小鼠早期胚胎的体外发育及胚胎细胞增殖。为进一步探讨Bai、Lig、BR对胚胎体外培养发育的效果和验证其胚胎质量,将不同组别培养至桑椹、囊胚期的胚胎进行两种程序常规冷冻,解冻后继续培养,观察其冷冻效果,并将各组解冻后发育至囊胚期胚胎移植。结果表明:冷冻解冻桑椹胚体外培养8~14 h囊胚发育率,程序一中Bai组(65.8%)和Lig组(81.1%)分别显著(P<0.05)和极显著(P<0.01)地高于对照组(48.6%)和BR组(46.7%);程序二中Bai组(80.6%)、Lig组(78.3%)极显著高于对照组(55.2%)和BR组(47.6%)(P<0.01)。冷冻解冻囊胚体外培养6~8 h囊胚发育率,程序一中各组间无显著差异(P>0.05);程序二中,中药有效成分各组间差异不显著(P>0.05),但均显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。两种冷冻程序效果差异不显著(P>0.05)。移植妊娠率和产仔率,Bai组(56.3%,63.3%)、Lig组(52.6%,67.3%)和BR组(55.0%,60.5%)均高于对照组(46.2%,52.8%)。说明3种中药有效成分对于提高小鼠2-细胞胚胎体外发育质量具有一定促进作用,并有利于提高冷冻解冻后移植胚胎的发育潜力。

基因型及外源因子对小麦花药培养一步成苗的影响

研究了不同基因型及几种外源因子在小麦花药培养一步成苗中的效应。结果表明 ,花药培养一步成苗的愈伤组织诱导率、绿苗分化率、白苗分化率及绿苗产量存在基因型间的差异。高蔗糖浓度有利于获得高频率的花药愈伤组织 ,但同时又提高了花药培养中白化苗频率。动力精 (KT)对花药愈伤组织诱导率影响的差异不大 ,但对绿苗分化率、绿苗产量及绿苗 /白苗 (G/ W)均有显著影响。在试验浓度范围内 ,随 KT浓度的增大 ,绿苗产量提高 ,绿苗分化率明显增加 ,而白苗分化率下降 ,因而 G/ W值明显增大。说明 KT主要是通过提高绿苗分化率和降低白苗分化率 ,增大 G/ W而提高花培一步成苗效率的。在与 KT的配合使用中 ,2 ,4 - D比 NAA更有利于提高小麦花药培养中的愈伤组织诱导率和苗分化频率

Preliminary Studies on the Intergeneric Hybridization Between Brassica napus with OguCMS and Orychophragmus violaceus

In the cross between B. napus with OguCMS x Orychophragmus violaceus, pre-fertilizationcompatibility was observed. An intergeneric hybrid was successfully obtained by usingovary culture. The hybrid status was confirmed by cytology, morphology, fertility,isozyme and miosis analysis. The seed setting rate was 0.0072%. An amphidiploid of thehybrid was also produced by the use of chromosome-doubling method with 0.1% colchicinestreatment. Obtaining this hybrid and its amphidiploid has important theoretical andutilization value.
