Y-S-Y12发酵液和生物质热解液混配对辣椒炭疽病的防治及作用机理

为探究解淀粉芽孢杆菌Y-S-Y12拮抗菌发酵液和生物质热解液混配对辣椒炭疽病的协同防病作用及其作用机理，对不同浓度生物质热解液、拮抗细菌Y-S-Y12菌株的发酵浓缩液及其混配溶液对辣椒炭疽病的抑菌作用进行检测，计算出毒力方程，根据EC50值将两种溶液进行混配，求得最佳配比。通过活体试验检测Y-S-Y12菌株对辣椒炭疽病果实的防治效果，测定叶片超氧化物歧化酶（superoxide dismutase，SOD)、过氧化物酶（peroxidase，POD）和过氧化氢酶（hydrogen peroxidase，CAT）活性，并探究各药剂对辣椒炭疽病病菌菌丝的细胞膜通透性、生理代谢和菌丝形态的影响。结果显示，Y-S-Y12菌株发酵浓缩液和生物质热解液以1∶9混配具有明显的协同增效作用;混配的防效显著高于单剂，防效达到79.62%，进一步说明混配具有增效作用。混剂处理的辣椒炭疽病菌菌丝中的几丁质酶活性、β-1,3-葡聚糖酶活性和蛋白酶活性显著高于对照和单剂处理，处理后菌体的保护屏障被打破，使培养液的电导率、外渗液中蛋白质和核酸含量上升。混剂处理的辣椒叶片中SOD、POD、CAT酶活性显著高于对照和单剂处理，说明辣椒植株抗病性增强。综上，Y-S-Y12菌株发酵液和生物质热解液混配对辣椒炭疽病有协同防病作用，可能是因为Y-S-Y12菌株具有破坏辣椒炭疽病菌菌丝和诱导辣椒植株抗病性作用。研究为辣椒炭疽病无公害防治提供理论依据。     

基于实物期权法的林业投资项目价值评估

当前林业投资项目不再局限于单纯的木材收益，开始将碳汇收益也纳入到项目价值中。而木材和碳汇的价格波动在增加了项目不确定性的同时，对项目价值也产生了一定影响。传统价值评估方法只能评估出项目的静态价值，对于不确定性带来的动态价值无法准确反映。因此，本研究以高峰林场裸地造林项目为例，根据价格波动规律对木材与碳汇的未来价格分别提出了合理假设，并利用Black-Scholes期权定价模型对项目价值进行了评估。通过对评估结果的分析，论证了实物期权法应用于林业投资项目价值评估的可行性及必要性，促进了实物期权法在林业中的进一步发展。     

Exploring connectivity between spawning and nursery areas of Mullus barbatus (L., 1758) in the Mediterranean through a dispersal model

Connectivity between spawning and nursery areas plays a major role in determining the spatial structure of fish populations and the boundaries of stock units. Here, the potential effects of surface current on a red mullet population in the Central Mediterranean were simulated using a physical oceanographic model. Red mullet larvae were represented as Lagrangian drifters released in known spawning areas of the Strait of Sicily (SoS), which represents one of the most productive demersal fishing‐grounds of the Mediterranean. To consider the effect of inter‐annual variability of oceanographic patterns, numerical simulations were performed for the spawning seasons from 1999 to 2012. The main goal was to explore connectivity between population subunits, in terms of spawning and nursery areas, inhabiting the northern (Sicilian‐Maltese) and southern (African) continental shelves of the SoS. The numerical simulations revealed a certain degree of connectivity between the Sicilian–Maltese and the African sides of the SoS. Connectivity is present in both directions, but it is stronger from the Sicilian–Maltese spawning areas to the African nurseries owing to the marine circulation features of the region. However, because the majority of the larvae are transported to areas unsuitable for settlement or outside the SoS, the dispersal process is characterized by a strong loss of potential settlers born in the spawning areas. These results are in agreement with the low genetic heterogeneity reported for this species in the Mediterranean Sea and support the existence of a metapopulation structure of red mullet in the SoS and the adjacent areas.     

Broodstock conditioning of the Portuguese oyster (Crassostrea angulata,Lamarck, 1819): influence of different diets

The Portuguese oyster Crassostrea angulata shows great potential in oyster farming. The conservation of pure populations of this species is important for production diversification and biodiversity preservation. In this way, the zootechnological development for seed hatchery production is extremely important. Broodstock conditioning is a key step in the process of rearing bivalves in a hatchery. Many factors regulate the reproductive cycle, being food one of the most important ones. To evaluate the effect of different diets on C. angulata reproductive performance, broodstock were conditioned with different food regimes formulated fundamentally by flagellates (Diet 1 – Pavlova lutheri and Isochrysis galbana clone T‐ISO; Diet 2 – P. lutheri, T‐ISO and Skeletonema costatum) and constituted fundamentally by diatoms (Diet 3 – S. costatum and Chaetoceros calcitrans; Diet 4 – P. lutheri, S. costatum and C. calcitrans). During conditioning, samples of oysters were collected to evaluate condition index, gonadal development and biochemical composition. At the end of the conditioning period, oysters were induced to spawn to evaluate reproductive output (fecundity, fertilization rate and D‐larvae development). The diets had an impact on the gametogenesis process, energy storage and reproductive output performance, being the best results those obtained in broodstock fed with the diatoms‐predominant diets. However, those fed with diets majority flagellates had an unsuccessful performance. Holistic approaches incorporating all results in this study reveal and reinforce the idea that the diatom species used presented the nutritional requirements to C. angulata broodstock, being essential in the conditioning phase.     

干旱胁迫对不同种源云南松幼苗生物量与根系形态的影响

通过盆栽控水，采用双因素随机区组设计研究了9个不同地理种源云南松幼苗生物量分配和根系形态对干旱胁迫的响应，比较了干旱胁迫下幼苗生物量及其分配以及根系形态在种源间的差异，并通过隶属函数法对不同种源幼苗干旱适应性进行了初步评价。结果表明:1）干旱胁迫下，各种源云南松幼苗地径下降明显，苗高未发生显著变化，各器官生物量和总生物量多呈下降趋势，干旱胁迫并没有导致幼苗根生物量分配比和根冠比的增加，但根系长、比根长、根表面积和比根面积在干旱胁迫下增加显著。2）不同种源云南松幼苗地径、苗高、生物量及其分配比和根系形态在干旱处理下均存在显著差异，其中地径和苗高分别以西昌和双柏种源最大，各器官生物量和总生物量以双柏、西昌和册亨种源较高，察隅种源各器官和总生物量较低，但该种源具有最大的根生物量分配比和根冠比；会泽种源根长、根表面积、比根长和比根面积均最大。研究发现，在土壤水分限制条件下，云南松幼苗以根系形态变化代替根系生物量增加的策略来适应干旱，各种源云南松幼苗生长对干旱胁迫响应的差异可能是由种源地理气候因子长期影响所形成的不同适应性策略所导致。经平均隶属函数值法初步评价了不同种源云南松幼苗对干旱适应性的强弱，结果显示，西藏察隅、云南会泽和四川西昌种源对土壤干旱的适应性较强，云南双柏、贵州册亨、云南云龙种源居中，而云南新平、永仁和禄丰种源适应性较弱。     

One-time fertilization at first flowering improves lint yield and dry matter partitioning in late planted short-season cotton

Cotton producers have substantially reduced their inputs(labor, nutrients, and management) mainly by adopting a shortseason cropping management that is characterized by late sowing, high density, and reduced fertilization with one-time application at the first bloom stage without lint yield reduction. However, it has been hypothesized that one-time fertilization at an earlier growth stage could be a more effective and economic management practice. A two-year field experiment was conducted by applying five fertilizer one-time fertilization at 0(FT1), 5(FT2), 10(FT3), 15(FT4), and 20(FT5) days after the first flower appeared in the field and one three-split fertilizer application taken as the conventional control(FT6), making six treatments altogether. Cotton growth period, biomass accumulation, yield, and its formation were quantified. The results showed that the one-time fertilization did not affect the cotton growth progress as compared to FT6, however, the total crop cycles for FT3–FT5 were 3 days shorter. FT1 produced the highest cotton lint yield(1 396 kg ha–1), which was similar to the FT6 but higher than the other treatments, and could be attributed to more bolls per unit area and higher lint percentage. Cotton yield was positively correlated with cotton plant biomass accumulated. FT1 had both the highest average(VT)(193.7 kg ha–1 d–1) and the highest maximum(VM)(220.9 kg ha–1 d–1) rates during the fast biomass accumulation period. These results suggest that one-time fertilizer application at the first flower stage might be an adjustment that is more effective than at first bloom, and allowed for easier decision making for application date due to non counting of plants with flowers is needed.     

Seasonal Changes in the Milt Quality of Waigieu Seaperch,Psammoperca waigiensis: Implications for Artificial Propagation

Milt quality of Waigieu seaperch was sampled at the beginning, the middle, and the end of the spawning season to assess if the sampling season has an effect on milt quality parameters. The milt volume and total sperm production were higher at the middle of the spawning season while the sperm concentration in milt was significantly higher at the beginning and the end of the spawning season. Sperm morphology and the major parameters of seminal plasma (pH, total protein, Mg²⁺, or Ca²⁺ concentrations) did not differ throughout the spawning season. The concentrations of Na⁺ and the osmolality increased throughout the spawning season. The percentage of motile cells did not differ during the spawning season while the duration of sperm motility (swimming duration) and velocity (swimming speed) were significantly different during the spawning season. The fertilization rate (75.7 ± 6.8%) and hatching rate (56.5 ± 3.1%) at the middle of the spawning season were higher than at the beginning and end periods. Results indicated that milt quality parameters and fertility success in the middle of the spawning season were higher compared to earlier and later sampling dates. Thus, we recommend collecting milt during this time for maximal fertilization and hatching success.     

Variability in the performance of juvenile Chinook salmon is explained primarily by when and where they resided in estuarine habitats

Estuarine habitats provide rearing opportunities for the juvenile life stage of anadromous fishes. Because survival is positively correlated with juvenile performance, these estuarine habitats play an important role in population abundance and productivity. To provide information for the recovery of several depressed stocks of Chinook salmon in the Columbia River Basin, we sought to identify the factors that explain variability in performance. Using otolith‐derived estimates of juvenile somatic growth rate as an index of recent performance, we observed a negative nonlinear relationship between growth rate and day of year, and a decreasing and increasing trend of growth rate over the 8 years of this study and distance from the river mouth respectively. Using a generalised linear modelling approach, we found that variability in juvenile somatic growth rate was best explained by where and when individuals were collected, their body size, contaminant loads, stock of origin, and whether a fish was hatchery produced or unmarked. Lastly, we argue that a considerable improvement to the growth rate of juveniles in estuarine habitats is physiologically possible. The results of this 8‐year study provide a baseline of the performance of juvenile Chinook salmon to evaluate habitat restoration programs and to compare against future anthropogenic conditions.
