超临界CO_2对哈密瓜汁中大肠杆菌的杀灭效果研究

以哈密瓜汁中的大肠杆菌为研究对象,采用超临界CO_2技术(压力10、20、35 MPa,温度35、45、55℃),以温度、压力、保压时间为自变量,以大肠杆菌存活对数为因变量,对哈密瓜汁中大肠杆菌进行超临界CO_2(SCCO_2)杀菌效果的研究。采用一级反应动力学模型分析超临界CO_2对大肠杆菌的杀菌动力学;采用透射电镜观察超临界CO_2对大肠杆菌超微结构的影响。试验结果表明,在35～55℃、10～35 MPa的条件下对哈密瓜汁中大肠杆菌进行超临界二氧化碳处理,灭菌速率分为先快后慢两个阶段;随温度和压力的提高,大肠杆菌的灭菌速率均逐步上升;经超临界二氧化碳处理后,大肠杆菌细胞出现明显的缺陷,部分细胞壁消失。     

Inactivation of Piscine orthoreovirus

Piscine orthoreovirus infects various salmonid fish species, and the infection is associated with diseases such as heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI) in farmed Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar). There are no vaccines available or genetically selected resistant hosts that can efficiently control piscine orthoreovirus (PRV) infection. Currently, the only prophylactic measure against PRV is general biosecurity measures aiming to break the transmission cycle. Methods to eradicate infectious virus from contaminated facilities are desirable, but the knowledge on how to inactivate PRV is lacking. A major bottleneck for inactivation studies is the lack of ability to propagate PRV in cell culture. Therefore, in this study we developed an in vivo model for detection of infectious PRV particles after treatment of the virus with inactivation tools such as heat, pH, iodine, UV and commercially available disinfectants. The results show that standard iodine treatment is efficient in inactivation of the virus, and similarly are high and low pH extremes and treatment with Virocid, a commercially available disinfectant. A UV dose of at least 50 mJ/cm² is required for inactivation, and the virus has high resistance against heat treatment.     

不同处理方式对蔬菜种传病毒病的消毒效果评价

为了研究不同种子处理对种子传播病毒的灭活效果,试验以番茄、辣椒、甜瓜、南瓜种子样本中被番茄花叶病毒(ToMV)、烟草花叶病毒(TMV)、黄瓜花叶瓜病毒(CMV)感染的种子为研究对象,经过酶联免疫吸附测定(ELISA)和逆转录聚合酶链反应(RT-PCR)测试选择出研究材料,采用7种病毒失活处理方法,分别为醋酸、过氧化氢、盐酸、次氯酸钠浸种,干热处理,温汤浸种和臭氧熏蒸处理。结果发现,能有效减少病毒浓度的处理为盐酸浸种、干热处理、温汤浸种(65℃)和臭氧(10 g/m3)处理,分别能将种子传播病毒的浓度平均降低51%、50%、42%和32%。其他灭活方法治疗效果较差,病毒浓度平均降低了12%~27%。盐酸浸种和干热处理是最有效的方法,对种子出芽率和活力没有影响。     

Occasional loss of expression of phosphinothricin tolerance in sexual offspring of transgenic oilseed rape (Brassica napus L.)

The commercial and economic value of genetically modified crops is determined by a predictable, consistent and stable transmission and expression of the transgenes in successive generations. No gene inactivation is expected after selfings or crosses with non-transformed plants of homozygous transgenic oilseed rape plants if the expression of the transgene in homozygous or hemizygous nature in such plants is stable. The segregation ratios of phosphinothricin (PPT) tolerance in successive generations of selfings and mutual crosses of a few independent transgenic PPT-tolerant oilseed rape plants indicated a dominant, monogenic inheritance. In within-variety and between-variety crosses no transgene inactivation was observed. However, after selfings and backcrosses with non-transgenic oilseed rape infrequent loss of the expression of the PPT tolerance transgene was observed independent from its homozygous or hemizygous nature. Molecular analysis of PPT-susceptible plants showed that the loss of expression was due to gene inactivation and not to the absence of the transgene. Methylation and co-suppression are mechanisms that might cause reduced or even loss of expression of the transgene in later generations. The implications of this observation for seed multiplication of varieties and breeding activities with transgenic oilseed rape are discussed.

高压脉冲电场对石榴汁杀菌的研究

该文研究了高压脉冲电场(PEF)对石榴汁的杀菌效果和对石榴汁的理化性质的影响。结果表明，电场强度和处理时间是影响PEF杀菌效果的主要因素。在频率为100 Hz时，当电场强度达到35 kV/cm，处理时间达到200 μs时，石榴汁中接种的大肠杆菌、酵母菌和霉菌的数量分别下降3.62、2.34、0.74个lg值，处理过程中样品温度≤18℃，霉菌对PEF的抵抗力最强。当处理频率增加为333 Hz，电场强度为35 kV/cm，处理时间为200 μs时，霉菌数量的下降增加到1.82个lg值，此时处理温度(处理腔内温度)提高到50℃。经PEF处理的石榴汁的理化性质基本不发生改变。     

Effect of sulphur in the prevention of incipient iron chlorosis in corn

Abstract

Results of a field experiment, comprising elemental S and three commercial preparations of Fe, applied with and without several other factors showed that the application of S was significantly better than that of Fe supplying materials in preventing the incipient chlorosis of corn leaves on the alkaline calcareous soils. Prevention of chlorosis in corn due to sulphur application increased the grain yield of corn 25–31%.

Leaf samples from plants raised with Fe supplying materials were chlorotic even though they contained significantly higher amounts of Fe. Persistence of chlorosis in spite of high Fe content of leaves, vis a vis freedom from chlorosis in spite of low Fe content, suggest that deficiency of Fe was not a factor in chlorosis. Freedom from chlorosis accompanied by significant increases in corn yields due to S application, on the contrary, show that it was the lack of S rather than Fe as the cause of Chlorosis.

When the supply of S is low, Fe seems to be subjected to a great deal of chemical inactivation and under conditions of stress more and more absorption of Fe is necessitated. In all probability the rate of inactivation exceeds the rate of absorption and chlorosis develops. In this situation either the plant's ability to utilize iron is affected or the physiological availability of absorbed iron is very low. Increased S seems to arrest the process of Fe inactivation by providing a better nutritional environment.     

X染色体失活、失活逃逸及相关疾病的研究进展

剂量补偿效应是表观遗传的机制之一,它是指使X连锁基因的表达水平在两性间达到平衡的过程。不同的物种所实现剂量补偿的机制不同,人同其他哺乳动物的剂量补偿机制是雌性个体随即失活一条X染色体。但最近的研究发现,在人和小鼠的失活X染色体上有些基因仍能表达,逃避了失活。目前,许多人类疾病尤其是具有女性发病优势病症的发生与治疗可能与这些逃逸基因密切相关。针对以上内容的最新进展作了相关综述。

Host range and properties of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid</Emphasis>

We characterised the host range and physical properties of Tomato chlorotic dwarf viroid. Among the 46 plant species inoculated with the viroid, two in the family Compositae and 23 in the family Solanaceae were found to be systemic hosts. The viroids in the crude sap from diseased tomato plants were thermally inactivated by heating to 100°C for at least 40 min. These viroids also lost their infectivity when diluted in phosphate buffer to at least 10⁻⁶, or after 3 days of incubation at room temperature. However, the infectivity of the viroids in dried crude sap from the plants persisted throughout the 50-day test period.
