氨基酸代谢与免疫反应

炎症反应和感染性疾病均可改变机体的蛋白质和氨基酸需要,导致动物采食量下降、生长受阻和肌肉消耗,这主要是因细胞因子(如IL-1、IL-6、TNF-α)的增加而改变了蛋白质代谢。在免疫反应中,氨基酸将发生重分配并主要用于合成参与炎症和免疫反应的蛋白质以及参与免疫细胞增殖和其他免疫反应的重要化合物。免疫系统的活化可干扰机体正常的生理反应并导致对某些特殊氨基酸的需要量增加。本文主要综述了某些特殊氨基酸(通常是必需氨基酸)在免疫反应中的重要作用。     

Are hedgerows effective corridors between fragments of woodland habitat? An evidence-based approach

Anthropogenic modification of the countryside has resulted in much of the landscape consisting of fragments of once continuous habitat. Increasing habitat connectivity at the landscape-scale has a vital role to play in the conservation of species restricted to such remnant patches, especially as species may attempt to track zones of habitat that satisfy their niche requirements as the climate changes. Conservation policies and management strategies frequently advocate corridor creation as one approach to restore connectivity and to facilitate species movements through the landscape. Here we examine the utility of hedgerows as corridors between woodland habitat patches using rigorous systematic review methodology. Systematic searching yielded 26 studies which satisfied the review inclusion criteria. The empirical evidence currently available is insufficient to evaluate the effectiveness of hedgerow corridors as a conservation tool to promote the population viability of woodland fauna. However, the studies did provide anecdotal evidence of positive local population effects and indicated that some species use hedgerows as movement conduits. More replicated and controlled field investigations or long-term monitoring are required in order to allow practitioners and policy makers to make better informed decisions about hedgerow corridor creation and preservation. The benefits of such corridors in regard to increasing habitat connectivity remain equivocal, and the role of corridors in mitigating the effects of climate change at the landscape-scale is even less well understood.

Research Progress on Speciation of Selenium Compounds in Plants

All factors affecting the PCR system in Pinus massoniana Lamb were investigated one by one.The results show that the optimum PCR system of EST-SSR were:2μL 10×Buffer(Mg²⁺ Free), 30 ng template DNA,0.187 5 mmol/L dNTPs, 3.75 mmol/L Mg²⁺,8 pmol primer pair,1.0 U Taq DNA poly-merase in total 20μL reaction system. Finally,a total of 11 isolates of P.massoniana was used for testing the stability of the PCR amplification.The results prove that the optimum PCR system was stable,reliable,highly repetitive.     

广东柑橘品种改良研究进展

我国是重要的柑橘原产地之一，现有栽培面积和产量居世界首位。广东的气候和地理条件非常适宜柑橘生产，栽培历史悠久，主栽品种多为地方品种，产业特色明显，产业规模居全国前列。然而，目前柑橘生产上存在主栽品种品质退化、成熟期集中、品种结构不甚合理、品种改良滞后等问题，制约着广东柑橘产业健康发展。广东柑橘种质资源丰富，开展种质资源多样性分析评价，综合运用常规育种方法与生物技术手段，培育高产、抗逆、不同成熟期的优质新品种，是新时期广东柑橘产业持续稳定发展的基础。据不完全统计，广东共选育出金葵蜜橘、无籽砂糖橘、少核贡柑等33个柑橘新品种，品种不断更新换代，为全省柑橘产业发展和品种结构调整提供了有力支撑。回顾了广东柑橘产区分布情况和品种结构调整概况，介绍了广东柑橘种质资源多样性以及柑橘品种改良的主要方法，总结了广东柑橘新品种选育成绩，提出了广东柑橘品种改良中的存在问题，并进一步探讨了今后广东柑橘品种改良的方向。     

CO2浓度升高对农作物品质影响的研究进展

农作物品质受农作物遗传发育特征和环境因素的双重影响。在相似的遗传背景条件下，CO2浓度持续升高影响农作物中碳水化合物合成、有益和有害元素吸收的权重逐渐加大，从而引发所谓的“隐形饥饿”和农产品卫生品质下降。本文在回顾国内外有关CO2浓度升高影响农作物中碳水化和物合成、有益和有害成分吸收研究的基础上，结合本团队近年的研究结果，提出：随着产地环境污染由局部向整体扩延，CO2浓度持续升高对农作物卫生品质的潜在影响不断加剧，包括增加或减少农作物对有毒有害物质的吸收；强化农作物对土壤中有益或有害物质的非均衡吸收等。本文还对比了目前国内外CO2浓度升高对农作物品质影响研究的常用手段与方法，并对相关研究结果的差异进行了分析，着重指出这一研究方向今后工作的重点。     

木薯生氰糖苷研究进展

木薯是世界上第五大粮食作物。但由于含有生氰糖苷，食用处理不完全的木薯产品会对人体产生危害，这在某种程度上限制了其在食品中的广泛应用。因此，对木薯生氰糖苷的研究具有重要的现实意义。本文对木薯生氰糖苷的生物合成以及人们在降低生氰糖苷含量方面的研究工作进行阐述，并对未来获得没有或低含量生氰糖苷的木薯产品提出展望。     

Increasing experimental approaches in stream trout research – 1987–2006

Abstract –  This review of stream trout research literature for the 1987–2006 period covered >1300 papers dealing with 22 relevant topics, when compared with <400 papers on 18 topics in the previous one (1967–1986). The percentage of experimental approaches here quantified for both research reviews was 18% in the 1967–1976 period, increased to 21% in 1977–1986, to 39% in 1987–1996, and up to 43% in 1997–2006. Particular journals in the recent two decadal period published high percentages of experimental papers ( The Journal of Animal Ecology and Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences ; 62.9% and 62.4%, respectively), others, intermediate percentages ( Nordic Journal of Fisheries Research , Transactions of the American Fisheries Society , North American Journal of Fisheries Management and Ecology of Freshwater Fish : 44.1%, 42.4%, 40.5%, and 35.6%, respectively); the remainder covered ≤33%. Research papers on stream 'trouts' published over the last two decades were classified into 22 subject areas for nine major journals separately and combined for 55 other journals. Subject areas dealing with the biology and ecology of trout redds, egg development, alevin emergence and onto fry and parr were the most heavily reported in nine major journals, as well as in all other journals combined. Habitat characteristics and cover use by trout were the next. Atlantic salmon and brown trout were the species with highest publication coverage in nearly all subject areas, with low coverage for all salvelinid (charr) species except brook charr. Research on Atlantic salmon in the UK used experimental approaches in nearly 60% of publications and in mid to high 30% for those on Atlantic salmon and brown trout in Scandinavian countries. Consideration is given to future research needs for stream trouts.
