犬瘟热病毒的静水压灭活

以250MPa的静水压力对犬瘟热病毒（CDV）处理30min之后，CDV被灭活，由其制成的灭活疫苗诱导犬产生中和抗体的能力明显优于传统的福尔马林灭活疫苗，免疫保护率达90％。电镜观察显示，经不同程度静水压力处理后的CDV粒子均发生变形，表面呈现凸起，但CDV H基因部分片段的RT－PCR扩增结果揭示，高达510MPa的静水压力作用30min也未能使其基因片段受到破坏。     

Nuclear transfer in loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus Sauvage) by cell-to-cell electrofusion

To study nuclear transfer in the loach (Paramisgurnus dabryanus Sauvage), blastula and gastrula cells were fused with UV-inactivated oocytes by cell-to-cell electrofusion. To facilitate nuclear transfer, blastula and gastrula cells were cultured or incubated at 4 °C in different solutions. TC-199 medium supplemented with 20% calf serum was the best culture solution, and effectively retained the totipotence of blastula or gastrula cells for up to 10 days. It was found that gastrula cells incubated at 4 °C had the same totipotence as blastula cells. The optimal UV dosage for inactivation of the oocyte chromatin was 180–240 mJ cm⁻². Electrofusion was carried out in a cone-shaped fusion chamber, which permitted the recipient oocyte and the donor blastula cell to contact one another. The electrofusion procedure resulted in a 10% success rate of normal-appearing fish. Genetic analysis indicated that the nuclear material originated from the donor cell (blastomere) and the oocyte pronucleus did not take part in development.     

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。     

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.

提高鸡传染性支气管炎病毒血凝抗原滴度途径及抗原灭活

将７株传染性支气管炎病毒（ＩＢＶ）标准株（Ｍ４１、Ｈ１２０、Ｈｏｌｔｅ、Ｇｒａｙ、Ｃｏｎｎｅｃｔｉｃｕｔ、Ｉｏｗａ６０９和Ｔ株）和６株分离株（ＮＩＢＶ、ＧＩＢＶ、Ｍ、ＳＨ、Ｊ和Ｈ株）分别接种于鸡胚，收获尿囊液，经浓缩后，用魏氏梭菌培养液处理，制备血凝抗原。其中，Ｈ１２０株血凝滴度最高，Ｔ、Ｍ、Ｊ和Ｈ株无血凝性。应用含有不同滴度ＩＢＶ母源抗体的鸡胚增殖病毒制备抗原，效价与用ＳＰＦ鸡胚增殖病毒制备的抗原效价一致。尿囊液经反复冻融后再制备抗原会使血凝价降低。抗原分别用甲醛、高碘酸钠、硼氢化钾和ＳＤＳ灭活，其中甲醛灭活效果最理想。抗原对氯仿敏感，对乙醚稳定。适宜浓度的Ｎａ＋、Ｍｇ２＋可显著提高抗原的血凝性     

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. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

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。     

Combined effects of sodium chlorite dip treatment and chitosan coatings on the quality of fresh-cut d’Anjou pears

This study evaluated the effects of sodium chlorite (SC) alone and its sequential treatment with edible coatings on browning inhibition and quality maintenance of fresh-cut d’Anjou pears. Edible coatings were prepared from chitosan (CH) and its water-soluble derivative carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCH), separately. Pear wedges were immersed in SC solution, followed by coating with CH or CMCH solutions. The samples were packed in unsealed bags and stored at 4 °C for subsequent color, firmness, and weight loss measurement. The effects of the SC and coating treatments on polyphenol oxidase (PPO) inhibition and microbial inactivation were also evaluated. Results indicated that SC exhibited significant (P < 0.05) inhibition of browning and PPO activity. The SC treatment was also strongly effective in inactivating Escherichia coli O157:H7 on pear slices. Coating SC-treated pear slices with CH adversely affected the quality of pear slices by accelerating the discoloration of cut surfaces and increasing the PPO activity. On the contrary, coating SC-treated samples with CMCH significantly prevented the browning reaction and inhibited PPO activity. In addition, SC and CH/CMCH coatings maintained tissue firmness and did not affect weight loss. Our study may provide a scientific basis for the use of SC + CMCH treatment as an alternative preservation treatment for fresh-cut fruits and vegetables.
