No consistent daily variation in DNA methylation detected in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Populus nigra</Emphasis> leaves by methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism analysis

DNA methylation, an epigenetic mechanism used by cells to control gene expression, has an important biological role in plant development and environmental fitness. Since plant DNA methylation is closely related to environmental conditions, variation during the day is expected. Here, in genetically identical plants of Populus nigra clone N46, DNA methylation changes in leaves over a 24 h period were detected using the methylation-sensitive amplification polymorphism method. The results showed different DNA methylation patterns in mature poplar leaves: not only in individuals at the same time, but also in samples at each of the six time during the day. In addition, night samples had a higher percentage of methylation than in morning samples. However, no statistically significant differences were found among the samples gathered at different times. Similar results were obtained for three other P. nigra clones with different genetic backgrounds. Real time qPCR showed that the DNA methyltransferase genes Pt-MET1 and Pt-SOM1 involved in CG DNA methylation in poplar were stable over a 24 h period in leaves of P. nigra N46 compared with circadian-controlled genes. That could be part of the reason that methylation of CCGG sites is stable in those leaves. That DNA methylation differed even in genetically identical plants indicates the specificity of DNA methylation changes in their genomes. No statistically significant differences in methylation changes were found between day and night, suggesting that DNA methylation is more stable than expected and is unlikely to be involved in circadian regulation in plants.     

基于GF-1 WFV数据的玉米与大豆种植面积提取方法

准确掌握农作物的空间种植分布情况,对于国家宏观指导农业生产、制定农业政策有重要意义。针对黑龙江省玉米与大豆生育期接近、光谱特征相似,较难区分的问题,以多时相16 m空间分辨率高分一号(GF-1)卫星宽覆盖(wide field of view,WFV)影像为数据源,选择归一化植被指数(normalized difference vegetation index,NDVI)、增强植被指数(enhanced vegetation index,EVI)、宽动态植被指数(wide dynamic range vegetation index,WDRVI)、归一化水指数(normalized difference water index,NDWI)4个特征,结合实地调查样本点,采用随机森林分类算法,提取黑龙江省黑河市嫩江县玉米与大豆种植面积。研究表明,区分玉米与大豆的最佳时段为9月下旬至10月上旬,即大豆已收获而玉米未收获的时段,在4个待选特征中,NDVI、NDWI与WDRVI指数组合表现最佳;随机森林算法与最大似然算法、支持向量机算法相比,分类精度更高,其总体分类精度为84.82%,Kappa系数为77.42%。玉米制图精度为91.49%,用户精度为93.48%;大豆制图精度为91.14%,用户精度为82.76%。该方法为大区域农作物的分类提供重要参考和借鉴价值。     

草除灵对甘蓝型油菜苗期生理生化及超微结构的影响

为探明草除灵作用的生理机制及其胁迫下不同甘蓝型油菜品种的耐性差异机制,以浙大619、浙大622为试验材料,对苗期油菜叶面喷施不同浓度的草除灵,采用生理生化分析方法、叶绿素荧光技术和超显微技术,探究草除灵对甘蓝型油菜苗期生理生化特性以及超微结构的影响。结果表明,低浓度(2.5 g·L~(-1))的草除灵对2个油菜品种的生长无显著影响,当草除灵浓度大于5.0 g·L~(-1)时,随着处理浓度的升高,油菜生长受抑制的程度逐渐增加,净光合速率、叶绿素含量和叶绿素荧光值显著下降,抗氧化酶系统的活性降低,膜脂过氧化加剧,活性氧积累增多,叶绿体、线粒体等叶肉细胞超微结构受损,且浙大619的抗草除灵胁迫能力高于较敏感品种浙大622。因此,本研究明确了草除灵对甘蓝型油菜安全性的影响,这对该除草剂的田间推广应用具有重要意义。     

马铃薯精密播种机智能控制系统设计

针对现有马铃薯播种机播种株距控制精准度不高、易产生重种漏种等问题,研发了一种由主控制模块、检测模块、株距控制模块和振动强度控制模块等7个模块组成的马铃薯精密播种机智能控制系统,采用液压马达控制薯种输送带运转,步进电机控制薯种输送带的振动强度,实现了播种株距和重种漏种率的自动控制.试验结果表明,播种速度相同时,实际播种株距相对于设定播种株距的平均偏差依次增大,播种速度越高实际播种株距的稳定性越差;薯种输送带振动强度越强,重种率越低,漏种率越高,各因素对重种漏种率影响的主次顺序为:薯种输送带振动强度＞播种速度＞薯种质量,且薯种输送带振动强度对重种率、薯种输送带振动强度和播种速度对漏种率有显著影响;较佳的播种作业参数为:薯种输送带振动强度为Ⅱ级(即轻微振动时)、播种速度为1.16 m/s及薯种质量为35 g.经2～3个周期即可调整到允许范围内,且稳定性好.因此,完全能够满足种植户的实际播种作业要求,为智能控制马铃薯精密播种装备的后续研发提供参考.

静电场对三角梅插穗生根及几种生理生化指标的影响

在三角梅种苗智能化快繁中,设置0、30、60、90 kV/cm四种静电场处理,探讨对三角梅插穗生根及生理生化指标的影响。结果表明:三角梅插穗生根期间,在0～60 kV/cm静电场范围内插穗的成活率、根系活力、根鲜重、可溶性糖含量、POD酶活性随着电场强度的增强而提高,其中在不定根诱导期插穗的吲哚乙酸氧化酶活性也随着电场强度的增强而提高。90 kV/cm静电场处理插穗的成活率、根系活力、可溶性糖含量、POD酶活性、吲哚乙酸氧化酶活性反而下降;30～90 kV/cm静电场处理插穗的可溶性蛋白含量均高于对照,且随着电场强度的增强而增加。方差分析表明,60 kV/cm静电场处理生物学效应好,其成活率、根系活力、根鲜重均显著高于对照,是三角梅插穗生根的最佳静电场处理;90 kV/cm电场处理不利于三角梅插穗生根及生理生化代谢,说明了静电场对三角梅插穗生根及生理生化的影响存在着电场极限。

High performance flame-retardant composite yarns with oxidized fiber

This study employed a SKF draft system equipped with an additional spreading device to form a high performance flame-retardant composite yarn. For mixing the spread Technora® filaments and Stretch-Broken oxidized fibers, nip of the front rollers was arranged for best dispersion. The yarn unevenness (CV %), strength, abrasion-resistance, and Limited Oxygen Index (LOI) of the composite yarn were evaluated. The cross-sections of the actual composite yarn were observed to assess its structure and the effect on yarn performance. The experimental results showed that the yarn CV% is worse as the yarn count (Tex) tend to be finer. This would be an optimum condition adopting 30 TM for the yarn evenness and yarn strength. After abrasion test, the residual strength of composite yarns remains above 80 %. The LOI value depends on the coverage degree of oxidized fiber outside the yarn surface, and there tended to be a lower LOI value with finer yarn count (Tex). Overall, the T/O composite yarn with uniform distribution structure can provide high performance and flame-retardancy.

Two new 12-hydroxybriarane diterpenoids, designated as excavatoids O (1) and P (2), were isolated from the octocoral Briareum excavatum. The structures of briaranes 1 and 2 were established on the basis of extensive spectral data analysis. Excavatoid P (2) is the first metabolite which possesses a 6β -chlorine atom in briarane analogues.
