The management type used in plum orchards alters the functional community structure of arthropod predators

Abstract

The management practices in agroecosystems can alter the community structure of pests’ natural enemies, which can consequently disturb their biocontrol function. Here, we investigated how organic or conventional farming influence the community structure of arthropod predators (spiders, coccinelids, anthocorids, ants) in orchards. The three conventional orchards studied were plum tree monocultures where mainly fungicides were applied. The three organic orchards studied were dominated by plum trees with admixture of apple trees and no agrochemical was applied. We found that management significantly affected only spiders that were less abundant in the conventional orchards than in the organic orchards. In addition, the conventional management resulted in reduced species density and altered the community composition of spiders. The conventional management reduced the functional dispersion of spider body size, which may narrow the size-spectrum of pests that could be reduced by spiders. The conventional management also reduced abundances of foliage hunters and space-web spiders. Since these spiders are effective against various insect pests, the conventional management of applying fungicides might result in increased crop damage via increased insect pests.     

非热处理对蜂花粉杀菌效果及品质的影响

为探究更有利于保留蜂花粉原有营养和风味的杀菌方法,本研究分别用辐照、超高压和高压静电场3种非热杀菌技术处理蜂花粉,并测定营养及风味的指标。结果表明,7 kGy辐照、500 MPa超高压、30 kV高场强处理对蜂花粉中的微生物均有抑制作用,且辐照对细菌的抑制效果较好,超高压和高压静电场对真菌的抑制效果较好。经500 MPa超高压处理后,蜂花粉脂类含量增加了23.3%,酚酸等活性成分含量增加,且其抗氧化活性降低程度最小,颜色和风味最接近未处理蜂花粉;30 kV高场强处理后,蜂花粉抗氧化活性显著下降、颜色偏深偏暗;7 kGy辐照处理后产生了明显的辐照味。综上,蜂花粉经超高压灭菌能达到较好的杀菌效果,而且能最大限度保持蜂花粉原有品质。本研究为非热杀菌技术在蜂花粉加工产业中的应用提供了理论依据。     

Bioinformatics Analysis of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 4 (BMP4) of Sheep

The assay was aimed to explore the biological characteristics of bone morphogenetic protein 4 (BMP4) of sheep,NCBI,DNAMAN DNAStar,TMHMM Server v.2.0,PsortⅡ,SignalP various bioinformatical softwares were used to speculate the physical and chemical properties,hydrophobic property,phosphorylation site,conservative structure domain,protein secondary structure of BMP4 protein.Also,the three-dimensional structure was forecasted with the SWISS-MODEL Workspace software.The results indicated that the BMP4 of sheep had high homologies with the BMP4 of various species.The encoded protein was a hydrophilic protein which was unstable.There was no transmembrane regions and it was likely to be located in the nucleus.What was more,there was signal peptide and eighteen phosphorylation sites.Through the forecast of functional domains,the protein had two functional domains,including the transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) superfamily and TGF-beta propeptide superfamily.The result was consistent with the function of BMP4 gene family,it also demonstrated that BMP4 was a growth factor and it had the function of signal transduction.The amino acid homology between the predicted 3D structure of protein and template 3bmp.1.A was 88.29%.The bioinformatics analysis of BMP4 gene could provide reference for the further study in practice.     

微信公共领域里的失范行为及其法治规范建设

从哈贝马斯公共领域理论出发，提出了微信群与微信公众号已经初步形成了公共领域这一观点，并主要介绍了围绕微信公共领域的社交功能、自媒体传播功能和商业贸易平台功能而产生的失范行为。依法规范微信公共领域，可以从完善依法管理微信公共领域、依法运营微信公共领域、依法使用微信公共领域三个有机联系层面的法治规范展开。     

优良早熟大果型苹果新品种‘华硕’在山东烟台的引种试栽表现

草面温度在霜预报中的应用

为了避免农作物遇霜后遭受冻害,本研究采用草面温度对霜进行预测。利用连云港气象观测站2014—2016年逐时气象要素,包括气温、0 cm地温、露点温度、水汽压、气压以及2 min平均风速等气象要素作为影响连云港地区草面温度的关键因子,并以这6个要素作为属性特征,以草温作为标志量构建训练样本集,结合KNN数据挖掘算法构建草温预测模型,并根据草温判别是否有霜出现。结果表明：基于该算法构建的草温预测模型效果较好,预报平均误差1.2℃;根据草温预测霜的准确率高达90.2%,尤其对初终霜的预报具有很好的指示意义。因此,引入草温作为霜的预报指标,对于避免农作物遭受霜害具有十分重要的意义。     

瓜实蝇龄期和密度对蝇蛹金小蜂寄生能力的影响

蝇蛹金小蜂是蝇类害虫重要的蛹期寄生性天敌，为了评价其对蔬菜上重要害虫瓜实蝇的控害潜能，本文就蝇蛹金小蜂对瓜实蝇蛹的寄生潜能进行了研究，建立了功能反应和干扰效应数学模型。结果表明，蝇蛹金小蜂对不同蛹龄瓜实蝇蛹的寄生功能反应均符合 HollingⅡ模型，但不同蛹龄之间的功能反应参数存在差异。蝇蛹金小蜂对 2 日龄、4 日龄和 6 日龄瓜实蝇蛹的模方程分别为 Na = 0.478 0N0/(1+0.010N0)、Na = 0.474 0N0/(1+0.008 6N0) 和 Na = 0.476 4N0/(1+0.009 9N0)。蝇蛹金小蜂自身密度也会对寄生产生一定的干扰效应，用 Hassell-Varley 模型拟合，蝇蛹金小蜂干扰效应方程可表示为：a = 0.071 9P –0.252 6。
