Disease eradication and propagation of the initial seed potato material in Estonia

Summary The EVIKA Research Centre has developed a disease eradication system for the initial material of seed potato, which consists of 1. Selection of the initial material for eradication, plant thermotherapy, meristem tip cultivation and testing for viruses; 2. Re-eradication (thermotherapy of test-tube plants, cultivation of meristem tips, testing for viruses, testing of varietal quality and yield of disease-free meristem clones, and the selection of meristem clones with best varietal characteristics; 3. Renewing of the initial material (all processes as above, but the initial material is selected from the seed potatoes grown for at least 3 years in the field). Field trials were conducted after the second cycle of eradiaction to determine whether the plantlets were true-to-type and to assess the yield, disease resistance and tuber dry matter. Recently we have also started in vitro testing of meristem plants resistance to late blight, hoping that this approach will improve the selection efficiency. Propagation and growing of the seed tubers consists of 3 main steps: 1. Plantlet propagation in vitro; 2. Greenhouse propagation in plastic rolls; and 3. Planting the first generation tubers in the field. Under our conditions it is the cheapest, simplest and most effective way. Multiplication of the meristem-derived plants is done by shoot tip cuttings in a greenhouse in plastic rolls with peat as the growing medium. The first generation of seed tubers is grown in the field. In our trials plant productivity was affected by the method of multiplication, growing conditions and genotype. The highest yield per hectare was obtained with plants multiplied in plastic rolls. The in vitro plants had more tubers per plant than plants multiplied in plastic rolls. In seed production fields the productivity of plants was more influenced by following our instructions than by multiplication and growing methods. The number of tubers per plant obtained with over 0.5 million plants was 6.5–9.0. In the second generation of seed tubers, grown under equal density, the greater-sized tubers gave more tubers with lower weight than the smaller-sized tubers. Cutting tubers had no effect on the plant development and tuberization.

Dutch elm disease in New Zealand: impacts from eradication and management programmes

Ophiostoma novo‐ulmi, the cause of the current pandemic of Dutch elm disease, is considered one of the 20 worst pests to have been introduced to New Zealand. An attempt to eradicate the pathogen came close to success, but was eventually stopped and replaced by management programmes. These programmes are slowing the spread of the pathogen. If left uncontrolled it is likely that New Zealand will lose 90% of its elm trees. Although elms are exotic trees in New Zealand, the loss of such a large number of popular amenity trees is likely to have numerous social, cultural, environmental and economic effects. It is estimated that this disease could cost public and councils over NZD $350 million in tree removal and replacement costs. Control of O. novo‐ulmi is limited, but biological control using d‐factor viruses has been proposed. Although O. novo‐ulmi was not eradicated from New Zealand, the eradication programme had many successes; in particular, the effective interaction of good management and science in the early years of the campaign. Also highlighted in this review are several tactics and steps that could be applied to eradication attempts for other species.

Prey consumption rates and compatibility with pesticides of four predatory mites from the family Phytoseiidae attacking Thrips palmi Karny (Thysanoptera: Thripidae)

BACKGROUND: Predatory mites (Amblyseius swirskii Athias‐Henriot, Typhlodromips montdorensis Schicha, Neoseiulus cucumeris (Oudemans) and Iphiseius degenerans Berlese) were investigated for their potential to act as control agents for Thrips palmi Karny. Prey consumption rates and compatibility with pesticides were assessed. RESULTS: Second‐instar larvae were the preferred life stage. Typhlodromips montdorensis consumed the most larvae (2.8) and also an average of 1.2 adult T. palmi per 5 day period. Both 24 and 48 h assessments following application of abamectin, spinosad and imazalil demonstrated mortality of predatory mites (across all species), which was significantly higher than with the other treatments (P < 0.001). Spraying with pymetrozine did not provide any increased mortality when compared with the water control. Application of thiacloprid proved detrimental only to I. degenerans. Following indirect exposure of predatory mites to pymetrozine and imazalil, no significant differences in mite mortality were obtained. Indirect exposure to spinosad was identified as the most detrimental treatment (P < 0.001) to all mites. Abamectin also proved detrimental, with only T. montdorensis showing any potential tolerance. CONCLUSION: All predatory mites investigated offer potential for controlling T. palmi. Compatibility with chemicals varied between the mites. The potential of incorporating the mites into eradication strategies for T. palmi is discussed. Copyright © 2012 Society of Chemical Industry     

铋剂四联疗法根除幽门螺杆菌疗效研究

目的比较不同疗程铋剂四联疗法与经典三联疗法根除幽门螺杆菌(Hp)的疗效。方法 选择403 例符合条件的Hp阳性的消化性溃疡或慢性胃炎患者。随机分为三组,其中A 组138 例、B 组142 例、C 组123 例。A组采用果胶铋200 mg+雷贝拉唑10 mg+阿莫西林1 000 mg+呋喃唑酮100 mg,2次/天,共10 d;B组采用果胶铋200 mg+雷贝拉唑10 mg+阿莫西林1 000 mg+呋喃唑酮100 mg,2次/天,共14 d;C组采用雷贝拉唑10 mg+阿莫西林1 000 mg+呋喃唑酮100 mg,2次/天,共14 d。观察三组患者Hp根除率、不良反应发生率及其成本-效果比。结果 A、B、C三组患者Hp根除率分别为83.33%、83.80%、71.54%,A组与B组Hp根除率比较差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),A组与C组、B组与C组Hp根除率比较均差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。A、B、C三组患者的不良反应发生率分别为 1.45%、2.11%、0.81%,均差异无统计学意义(P>0.05)。A、B、C三组成本-效果比分别为1.50、2.09、2.04。结论 三种治疗方案均未达到Hp根除率>90%的理想方案。但三种方案的比较中含铋剂10 d与14 d四联疗法Hp根除率较高,接近理想方案。含铋剂10 d四联疗法成本-效果比最好,建议临床使用。14 d三联疗法Hp根除率仅达71.54%,远低于理想标准,不建议临床使用。     

汉语歧义初探

歧义是语言中普遍存在的现象。它对交际有着极其重要的影响,因此我们有必要多层次、多角度地对其进行研究。一般说来,歧义的形成有四个方面的因素即语音、词汇、语境及语法。以此类推,我们消除歧义也应该从这四个方面着手。
