巴西蔗糖产业特点及对我国蔗糖业的借鉴

通过对巴西蔗糖产业种植、管理、贸易、政策、加工等方面的详细分析可知,巴西是世界上最大的甘蔗生产国和出口国,拥有先进的技术水平和管理经验,其制糖成本低、国际竞争力强。其甘蔗病虫害防控实行:⑴重点培育和推广抗病虫甘蔗良种;⑵通过种苗检疫、脱毒和健康种苗繁育技术严防病虫害的发生与传播;⑶建立病虫害监测预警和防控系统;⑷生物防控技术和化学药剂相结合。其糖厂已实行全网络自动化控制系统,蔗糖生产采用两步法生产精制糖。其蔗糖产业发展特点:重视氮高效品种的选育、甘蔗生产全程机械化率高、采用酒精发酵液定量还田技术、燃料乙醇工业发达、多种糖料蔗供应渠道、加工技术先进生产效率高、甘蔗运输成本较高等特点。我们可从中得到的借鉴为:重视强宿根蔗的选种计划、加速推进甘蔗生产全程机械化进程、建立完善的甘蔗病虫害防控系统、加强蔗糖高值化及副产物综合利用。     

比利时野猪非洲猪瘟防控

2018年9月,比利时公共健康研究院(国家非洲猪瘟参考实验室)确认在瓦隆地区发现野猪感染非洲猪瘟病毒,毒株与2007年欧洲首例非洲猪瘟病毒株非常相似。欧盟和比利时通过采取卓有成效的控制措施,截至目前未发生家猪感染病例。主要防控经验:一是出台法规,组建非洲猪瘟政策委员会,及时评估和措施调整;二是根据OIE的原则要求建立管控区,借助人工屏障和自然屏障,防止感染野猪跨区域移动;三是完善养殖企业生物安全管理制度,防止野猪和家猪的接触,并通过SANITEL系统对境内的所有家猪开展标识追溯,防止高风险地区家猪的非法移动;四是做好宣传,使兽医、养殖户、狩猎者了解非洲猪瘟相关认知,确保防控义务落实到人。     

Dynamics of nitrogen translocation from mature leaves to new shoots and related gene expression during spring shoots development in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.)

The contribution of N remobilization is crucial for new shoots growth and quality formation during spring tea shoots development. However, the translocation mechanism of N from source leaves to sink young shoots is not well understood. In the present study, ¹⁵N urea was applied to mature tea leaves one week before bud break to track N remobilization in a field experiment. The dynamic changes in plant ¹⁵N abundance, contents of amino acids, and the expression levels of genes related to N metabolism and translocation were followed during the 18‐d development of new spring shoots until three expanding young leaves. The results showed that during the growth of new shoots the amount of ¹⁵N in the shoots increased, whereas the N_dff (N derived from ¹⁵N‐urea) in mature leaves decreased, showing that the foliar‐applied N in mature leaves was readily exported to new shoots. This process was found to be accompanied by decline of chlorophylls. In the mature leaves, expression CsATG18a and CsSAG12 involved in autophagy was dramatically induced (> 4‐fold) at approximately nine days after the bud breaking. The genes involved in the transformation of amino acids, including primarily CsGDH2, CsGDH4, CsGLT3, CsGS1;3, and CsASN2 were upregulated by > 3‐fold after bud breaking. The expression levels of CsATG8A, CsATG9, CsSAG12, CsGS1;1, CsGDH1, and CsAAP6 correlated negatively with the N_dff in mature leaves, but positively with ¹⁵N amount and total N amount in new shoots, suggesting these genes played important roles in N export from mature leaves. In the new shoots, the expression of most genes showed two defined peaks, one on six days and one on 12 days after bud breaking. The expression of CsGS2, CsASN3, CsGLT1, and CsAAP4 positively correlated with the ¹⁵N amount and total N amount in new shoots. These genes might be involved in the transport and re‐assimilation of N from mature leaves. The overall results demonstrated that the translocation of ¹⁵N from mature leaves to new spring shoots was regulated by the genes involved in autophagy, protein degradation, amino acid transformation and transport.

均腐土不同亚纲典型土系土壤细菌群落多样性研究

为研究中国土壤系统分类(CST)体系下均腐土不同亚纲土壤细菌群落结构的多样性，以 4个干润均腐土[富牧西系(DFm)、春雷南系(DCl)、保国系(DBg)、明水系(DMs)]和 4个湿润均腐土[大西江系(MDx)、新发北系(MXf)、卫星农场系(MWx)、裴德系(MPd)]的腐殖质层(Ah层)为研究对象，采用高通量测序技术研究细菌群落多样性，分析细菌群落结构与环境因子间的关系，以探讨影响均腐土不同亚纲群落结构的主要环境因子。结果表明:均腐土 8个土系样品共获得 1 674 634条基因序列，Shannon指数和 Chao1指数表现为:干润均腐土 >湿润均腐土。均腐土 8个土系细菌群落主要包括 10个门类，其中变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)、酸杆菌门(Acidobacteria)为富牧西系、春雷南系、保国系、大西江系、新发北系、卫星农场系、裴德系优势菌门，明水系以绿湾菌门(Chloroflexi)、变形菌门(Proteobacteria)、放线菌门(Actinobacteria)为优势菌门；属水平上，均腐土各土系的群落差异较大。样品热图分析将 8个土系细菌群落聚为 2类，其中干润均腐土聚为一类，湿润均腐土聚为一类。pH、交换性 Ca、CEC、交换性 Mg、SOC和 TP是影响均腐土细菌群落结构发生变化的主要因子( P<0.05)。此外，RDA分析发现，土壤 pH为影响均腐土细菌群落结构的主导因子，而 pH、交换性 Ca、CEC为驱动干润均腐土细菌群落结构发生变化的主要影响因素，交换性 Mg、SOC、TP为驱动湿润均腐土细菌群落发生变化的主要影响因素。
