Pathogenicity of fungi associated with ash dieback towards Fraxinus excelsior

A large part of the area in Europe in which Fraxinus excelsior is native is currently affected by ash dieback, a threatening disease caused by the ascomycetous fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus. Fungi other than H. fraxineus also occur in large numbers on stems of the dying ash trees. To clarify their possible role in the dieback process, six fungal species common on dying stems and twigs of ash in Poland, i.e. Cytospora pruinosa, Diaporthe eres, Diplodia mutila, Fusarium avenaceum, F. lateritium and F. solani, were tested for pathogenicity using a test based on artificial wound inoculations of 6‐year‐old F. excelsior plants under field conditions, with H. fraxineus included for comparison. There were significant differences in index of pathogenicity among the fungi tested. Hymenoscyphus fraxineus (mean index 5.78) was the most pathogenic. Diplodia mutila (4.23) and C. pruinosa (4.02) were significantly less pathogenic than H. fraxineus, but significantly more than the other fungi. Diaporthe eres (2.43), F. avenaceum (1.92), F. solani (1.86) and F. lateritium (1.08) were the least pathogenic (P < 0.0001). The extent of disease symptoms caused by F. solani and F. lateritium was statistically similar to the control (P = 0.05). All tested fungi were successfully reisolated from inoculated stems. The contribution of the results to understanding the possible role of these fungi in the ash dieback process in F. excelsior, particularly in trees weakened after primary infection by H. fraxineus, is discussed.

麦灰和砻糠用量与用法对雷竹林地土壤温度及笋产量的影响

雷竹(Phyllostachys violascens)是一种优良的笋用竹种,覆盖栽培能够促进雷竹经济效益的显著提升。试验研究了新型覆盖材料麦灰和砻糠的覆盖厚度和施用方法对雷竹林地温及笋产量的影响。结果表明:覆盖材料的覆盖厚度以23.0~23.5 cm为宜,即下层施用2.5~3.0 cm的麦灰作为增温层,上层以20.0~21.0 cm的砻糠作为保温层,竹林土壤可保持较高的温度,竹笋产量较高;在覆盖材料的施用方法上,以麦灰2次施入为好,第2次施入麦灰后覆盖上砻糠,可延长出笋期,而且有利于地表温度的平稳变化和提高雷竹笋产量。     

First report of Hymenoscyphus fraxineus on Fraxinus excelsior in Montenegro

During the monitoring of the mycological complex on different forest tree species in the Biogradska Gora National Park in north‐east Montenegro, symptoms indicative of ash dieback caused by Hymenoscyphus fraxineus were observed on young Fraxinus excelsior trees in the protected virgin forest, including dieback of plants and branches, wilting of leaves and shoots leading to a “flag‐like” habitus, premature shedding of leaves and longitudinal bark necroses. Using standard isolation methods, slow‐growing cultures with numerous phialides, typical of the asexual phase of the ash dieback fungus, were obtained. In addition, petioles with numerous characteristic apothecia were also recorded. This is the first report of H. fraxineus on common ash in Montenegro. Possible pathways of introduction and implications of the findings are discussed.     

不同粉路小麦面粉粉色和面片色泽的变化

为了明确系统小麦面粉粉路与小麦面粉、面片色泽的关系,笔者测定了20种系统小麦面粉的L~*,a~*,b~*值、灰分含量、蛋白含量、麸星面积、黑点面积及面片色泽与褐变情况。结果表明:小麦面粉色泽的影响因素除原粮及其清理效果外,粉路对小麦面粉色泽的影响很大。小麦面粉的b~*值、灰分含量、蛋白含量、麸星面积和黑点面积,各系统内部呈现后路高于前路;XF粉、后路B粉、T粉、前路B粉、前路M粉、D粉、S粉、前路M粉各系统之间呈现递减趋势;L~*,a~*值与之相反。不同粉路制成的面片色泽随着时间的推移逐渐变暗,在8 h至24 h之间面片色泽变化最大,褐变较明显,前路M粉的面片在24 h内的L~*值较其他粉路的L*要高,面片色泽较白,褐变较慢,其次是B粉、T粉、D粉;在4个粉路系统中前路M粉最好,属于优质粉,褐变最严重的是吸风粉,其面片色泽深、暗、黄,属于劣质粉。因此,粉色优质的小麦面粉粉路推荐为B磨粉的前路、M磨粉的前路。     

秸秆灰混凝土力学性能试验及强度预测

为了优化混凝性能,减少水泥产业耗能,尝试采用以部分秸秆灰替代水泥制备混凝土。该文通过试验对油菜秸秆灰混凝土拉压性能进行了研究,得到秸秆灰质量分数和水胶比对秸秆灰混凝土拉压性能的影响规律,如当秸秆灰质量分数增大时,混凝土拉压性能呈下降趋势;当水胶比过大时,混凝土力学性能急剧下降。同时提出秸秆灰混凝土抗拉性能与抗压性能间的线性函数关系以及混凝土轴心抗压强度计算公式,并与其他混凝土抗压强度公式进行比对验证。采用小波神经网络的预测方法,引入随机函数,对试验数据抽样进行训练,而后预测数据并与试验数据进行比对,计算误差,并将预测数据用于该文提出的拉压公式进行验证,结果表明验证较好。最后试验结果表明:当秸秆灰替代掺量为10%时,秸秆灰混凝土劈裂抗拉强度下降了25%,抗压强度仅下降了8%;当替代掺量为20%时,抗压强度下降了31%。     

Study on Effects of Different Medium Compositions on Growth and Seedling Quality of Two Tomato Varieties Under Greenhouse Conditions

This research was conducted to investigate the effects of different medium compositions on physicochemical properties and the growth of two tomato varieties. Five treatments were applied, combining medium composition with rice husk ash (RHS) and coconut fiber (CF) with the following proportions: 1/3 Peat moss + 1/3 rice husk ash + 1/3 coconut fiber (T1); 1/3 Vermicompost + 1/3 rice husk ash + 1/3 coconut fiber (T2); 1/3 Cattle manure compost + 1/3 rice husk ash + 1/3 coconut fiber (T3); 1/3 Chicken manure compost + 1/3 rice husk ash + 1/3 coconut fiber (T4); 1/3 Hog manure compost + 1/3 rice husk ash + 1/3 coconut fiber (T5). The results demonstrated that between pH, electrical conductivity (EC) value, and nutrient content in the media, there was a significant difference that led to different concentrations of total macro- and micronutrients in the shoots of both varieties. In addition, the root weight, shoot weight, and root volume were affected by medium composition for two varieties in seedling stage. A mixture of cattle manures composted with RHS and CF under the rate (1:1:1 by volume), respectively, gave the highest value of germination rate, plant height, leaf number, and plant biomass. Medium composition significantly influenced the germination rate and elongation of seedlings, specifically for each tomato variety. Therefore, cattle manure compost as a medium supplement improves seedling quality and growth of the two tomato varieties.     

煤矿复垦区重构土壤溶解性有机碳空间分布特征

为探究煤矿复垦区重构土壤中溶解性有机碳(DOC)含量的空间分布特征,以淮南潘一矿区煤矸石山和周边复垦区林地土壤为研究对象,从空间分布和颗粒组成上,分析了煤矸石山山顶、山腰和山脚的煤矸石风化物及周边林地土壤中DOC的含量。结果表明:自上而下山顶、山腰、山脚的煤矸石风化物中DOC含量呈递减趋势,并随采样深度的增加而增大;但林地土壤中DOC含量随采样深度的增加而减少。不同粒径颗粒物中DOC含量分布不同,煤矸石风化物和林地土壤均以细砂(0.2~0.05 mm)DOC含量最高,石砾(10~2 mm)DOC含量最低。在雨水淋溶作用下,煤矸石风化物对周边土壤DOC含量贡献较大,距离山脚1~100 m范围,随着距离的增加,土壤中DOC含量由325.46 mg/kg减少至177.89 mg/kg,煤矸石风化物对周边土壤DOC含量的贡献率由85.78%降低到1.54%,在距离山脚100 m处土壤中DOC含量已接近正常对照土壤含量。
