Relationships between microbial biomass and dissipation of 2,4-D and dicamba in soil

A study was conducted to evaluate relationships between microbial biomass and the dissipation of 2,4-D (2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetic acid) and dicamba (2-methoxy-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid) in soil. We hypothesized that the size of the microbial biomass should be a strong predictor of the pesticide degradation capacity of a particular soil. Soils with a high microbial biomass should have relatively high levels of general microbial activity and should support a diversity of degradation pathways. In this study, we quantified the degradation of 2,4-D and dicamba in a range of soils with different concentrations of microbial biomass. The herbicides 2,4-D and dicamba were added to similar soils collected from five different land use types (home lawn, cornfield, upland hardwood forest, wetland forest, and aquifer material) and incubated for 80 days under laboratory conditions. Herbicide residue and microbial biomass (C and N) analyses were performed 5, 10, 20, 40, and 80 days following herbicide application. Microbial biomass-C and -N and soil organic matter content were positively correlated with dissipation of 2,4-D and dicamba. The results suggest that there are relationships between the size of the soil microbial biomass and the herbicide degradation capacity of an ecosystem. These relationships may be useful for developing approaches for evaluating and predicting the fate of pesticides in different ecosystems.     

Effects of long-term 2,4-D application on microbial populations and biochemical processes in cultivated soil

Summary The effects of 15 years of field applications of 2,4-dichlorophenoxy acetate (2,4-D) on soil microbial population and biochemical processes were studied in a field cropped with maize followed by potatoes. Amine or ester formulations at the rate of 0.95 kg 2,4-D per hectare applied in May and October every year. Fungal, bacterial, and actinomycete populations, and microbial biomass C and N were reduced by the 2,4-D treatment, the reduction being more marked where the ester was used. N mineralization, nitrification, and potentially mineralizable N were reduced by the 2,4-D ester only, while urease activity was depressed by both formulations. Dehydrogenase activity and soil microbial respiration tended to be temporarily increased by the amine, but were reduced substantially by the ester, indicating that the ester probably interfered with nutrient cycling.

向日葵种子蛋白质的微量提取和双向电泳技术研究

从向日葵干种子的中轴(包括胚芽、胚轴及胚根)和子叶的微量样品中提取蛋白质的技术进行了研究,并在此基础上对提取的蛋白质进行了SDS-聚丙烯酰胺凝胶为基础的单向和双向电泳分析,获得清晰的电泳图谱.结果显示:向日葵胚中轴与子叶样品中的蛋白质存在明显差别,而子叶的上部、中部和下部的蛋白质图谱比较相似.通过进一步的双向电泳对比分析可知,胚中轴与子叶的蛋白质相似性系数为0.785,两种组织均具有特异性蛋白质;胚中轴特异蛋白质有18种,子叶特异蛋白质有10种.这些研究结果为进一步的组织特异性蛋白质鉴定及研究子叶和胚中轴的发育机理,以及开展向日葵种子蛋白质组学的研究奠定了实验基础,同时对农业生产中种子纯度鉴定、种子生活力检验及种子发芽实验亦可能具有研究和利用价值.     

Safflower petals: A source of gamma linolenic acid

Safflower petals have been shown to have a lot of medicinal and therapeutic values. Indian safflower petal samples were analyzed for the red pigment carthamin, protein and oil contents. The petal oil (4.0–5.8%) was further analyzed for its fatty acids followed by alpha linolenic acid (15–19%) and palmitic acids (14–16%). Gamma linolenic acid, which has a lot of therapeutic value was present to an extent of 2–3%; decanoic and dodecanoic acids (2–5%) were also present.

植被三维结构对水蚀红壤粒径分布及养分含量的作用

基于福建省长汀县河田镇48个样区(15 m×15 m)植被垂直分层类型,不同垂直层次的总体植被覆盖度、枯落物厚度、土壤粒径分布及养分含量3类土壤属性数据,分析植被特征与土壤属性间的相互关系,并比较不同侵蚀程度、不同垂直结构类型下植被覆盖度、枯落物厚度与土壤粒径分布及养分含量的差异.结果表明,植被覆盖度、枯落物厚度与侵蚀程度显著负相关,与土壤中有机质含量、全氮含量、全磷含量显著正相关,但与全钾含量差异不显著.当植被覆盖度达到50％、枯落物厚度达到20 mm时,可以有效保持水土,其中枯落物较上层植被的水土保持作用更明显.不同植被垂直结构组合中,选择林灌草、林灌、灌草、纯草均可以较好地促进植被生长、改良土壤结构、保持土壤肥力.
