Reproduction in fishes is influenced by thyroid hormones at various levels of gonadal cell differentiation and steroidogenesis.
Thyroid hormones have recently also emerged as an important modulator of season- and photoperiod-dependent variations in the
reproductive cycle with a possible effect on the hypothalamo–hypophyseal axis and pineal interactions. This review describes
the current status of thyroid hormone research in relation to reproduction, with special emphasis on contributions to this
field by Indian researchers including our laboratory. Evidence is provided for the multifocal action of thyroid hormones at
various levels of the hypothalamo–hypophyseal–gonadal axis affecting reproduction. The underlying physiological and molecular
mechanisms pertaining to thyroid hormone modulation of reproduction, such as gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) synthesis
and release, androgen and gonadotropin receptor expression, gonadotropin (GTH) expression, and tissue sensitivity to GTHs
are highlighted with relevant discussions of the current technical limitations, applications, and future perspectives of research
in this field. 相似文献

Hemoglobin plays an important role in the color and oxidative stability of seafoods. A recent practice in the seafood industry is to stabilize muscle color by the application of gases containing carbon monoxide. The goal of this study was to examine and compare the properties of tilapia hemoglobin complexed to either O(2) (Oxy-Hb) or CO (CO-Hb) at pH 6.5, which reflects the tilapia muscle postmortem pH. CO-Hb was significantly (p < 0.01) more stable against autoxidation compared to Oxy-Hb when kept at 4 and -30 degrees C for 23 days. Almost no loss of CO was detected for both temperatures according to the UV-vis spectra of Hb. This stabilization was also believed to play a role in increased protein structure stabilization (p < 0.001) since less protein aggregation was seen for CO-Hb. The higher protein stabilization for Hb was linked to the heme group, which was maintained in its reduced state longer for CO-Hb vs Oxy-Hb and was likely less exposed to solvent. CO-Hb had significantly (p < 0.01) less peroxidase activity than Oxy-Hb and thus reactivity with H(2)O(2). The pro-oxidative activity of CO-Hb was significantly (p < 0.01) reduced in a linoleic acid micelle system compared to that of Oxy-Hb, while smaller differences in activity were seen in a washed cod and tilapia muscle model system. 相似文献

Imbalanced fertilizer use with intensive cropping has threatened the sustainability of agroecosystems, especially on acid soils. An understanding of the long-term effects of fertilizers and amendments on soil health is essential for sustaining high crop yields. The effects of application of fertilizers, and amendments for 46 years on soil properties and maize yield in an acid Alfisol were investigated in this study. Ten fertilizer treatments comprising different amounts of NPK fertilizers, farmyard manure (FYM) and lime, and one control, were replicated three times in a randomized block design. At 0–15 cm soil depth, bulk density was least (1.20 t/m3), porosity (49.8%) and water holding capacity (61.7%) were greatest in 100% NPK + FYM, corresponding to the largest organic carbon content (13.93 g/kg). Microbial biomass C and dehydrogenase activity in 100% NPK + FYM were 42% and 13.7% greater than 100% NPK, respectively. Available nutrients were significantly more with 100% NPK + FYM and 100% NPK + lime than control and other fertilizer treatments. At 15–30 cm depth, the effect of various treatments was comparable to the surface layer. Grain yield declined by 55% and 53% in 100% NPK(-S) and 100% NP, respectively, compared with 100% NPK, whereas 100% N as urea alone eventually led to crop failure. Soil porosity recorded the greatest positive correlation (r = .933**), whereas bulk density recorded a negative significant correlation (r = −.942**) with grain yield. The results suggest that integrated use of FYM/lime with chemical fertilizers is a sustainable practice in terms of crop yield and soil health, whereas continuous application of urea alone is detrimental to the soil health. 相似文献

Fusarium wilt (FW) and Ascochyta blight (AB) are two important diseases of chickpea which cause 100 % yield losses under favorable conditions. With an objective to validate and/or to identify novel quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for resistance to race 1 of FW caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris and AB caused by Ascochyta rabiei in chickpea, two new mapping populations (F2:3) namely ‘C 214’ (FW susceptible) × ‘WR 315’ (FW resistant) and ‘C 214’ (AB susceptible) × ‘ILC 3279’ (AB resistant) were developed. After screening 371 SSR markers on parental lines and genotyping the mapping populations with polymorphic markers, two new genetic maps comprising 57 (C 214 × WR 315) and 58 (C 214 × ILC 3279) loci were developed. Analysis of genotyping data together with phenotyping data collected on mapping population for resistance to FW in field conditions identified two novel QTLs which explained 10.4–18.8 % of phenotypic variation. Similarly, analysis of phenotyping data for resistance to seedling resistance and adult plant resistance for AB under controlled and field conditions together with genotyping data identified a total of 6 QTLs explaining up to 31.9 % of phenotypic variation. One major QTL, explaining 31.9 % phenotypic variation for AB resistance was identified in both field and controlled conditions and was also reported from different resistant lines in many earlier studies. This major QTL for AB resistance and two novel QTLs identified for FW resistance are the most promising QTLs for molecular breeding separately or pyramiding for resistance to FW and AB for chickpea improvement. 相似文献

Fermentation using native lactic acid bacteria (LAB) was evaluated for its effectiveness in recovering lipids and proteins simultaneously from freshwater fish visceral waste (FVW). Five different LAB isolated from fish processing waste were employed in a fermentation process that involved 10% (w/w) glucose, 2% (w/w) NaCl, and 10% (v/w) LAB. Cultures evaluated included four native isolates (Pediococcus acidilactici NCIM5368, Enterococcus faecalis NCIM5367, Pediococcus acidilactici FM37, and Pediococcus acidilactici MW2) from FVW with E. faecium NCIM5335 as the reference culture. Fermentation with native LAB resulted in recovery of > 90% oil present in the material as against no recovery in case of raw (unfermented) viscera and resulted in > 50% of degree of hydrolysis of proteins. The fatty acid profile of lipids was not affected by the fermentation process. The fermentation liquor, rich in hydrolyzed protein, exhibited antioxidant as well as antagonistic properties against several bacterial pathogens. The results clearly demonstrate the usefulness of fermentation using native isolates for simultaneous recovery of lipids and proteins from fish processing waste. It also asserts the value of fermentation as an eco-friendly method and aids in minimizing disposal/pollution problems associated with these solid wastes. 相似文献

A study on the long-term effect of fertilizers and amendments on crop productivity and changes in soil fertility in maize-wheat cropping system in an acid Alfisol was carried out in randomized block design (RBD) with 11 treatments. Continuous application of chemical fertilizers along with farmyard manure (FYM) or lime significantly influenced the grain and straw/stover yield and the uptake of nutrients by wheat and maize crops significantly. The organic carbon content increased from 7.9 to 12.1 g kg?1, cation exchange capacity (CEC) from 12.1 to 14.6 cmol (p+) kg?1 and available phosphorus from 21.9 to 75.2 kg ha?1 through the integrated use of organic and fertilizers for the last 42 years while the status of available nitrogen (N) and potassium (K) declined over the years in all the treatments. Continuous application of urea alone resulted in a drastic decline in soil pH at both depths. Imbalanced use of fertilizers led to a significant reduction in the productivity of both crops and depleted the soil fertility. 相似文献

In the present study, thiourea-induced thyroid hormone depletion and thyroxine (T4) ‘overdose’ were used as a strategy to understand the influence of thyroid hormones on ovarian recrudescence of juvenile
(3-months-old), immature (8-months-old) and adult (1-year-old) air-breathing catfish, Clarias gariepinus. Thiourea-induced thyroid hormone depletion in juvenile catfish impaired ovarian development, but no significant effect was
observed in immature catfish and during late stage of ovarian recrudescence of mature catfish. T4 treatment in females undergoing late stages of ovarian recrudescence induced rapid oocyte growth by promoting its early entry
into maturational phase as evident from the presence of more number of vitellogenic and post-vitellogenic follicles, decrease
in aromatse immunoreactivity and reduced estradiol–17β levels. Hence, thyroid hormones have an important role to play during early stages of ovarian development and vitellogenesis
of catfish and also indicating that thyroid has a stage dependent effect on ovary. 相似文献
