Mid-storage and pre-sowing seed treatments for lettuce and carrot

Mid-storage hydration-dehydration treatments with medium-vigour lettuce seed very effectively reduced physiological deterioration in storage and ultimately showed better field emergence and final yield. Soaking-drying treatment of high-vigour lettuce seed was not effective. Pre-sowing treatment of medium-vigour lettuce seed, though less effective than mid-storage treatment, gave better field performance, but high-vigour seed did not benefit from the treatment. For carrot, both mid-storage and pre-sowing seed treatments proved beneficial, with the former showing better performance than the latter. Unlike lettuce, well-preserved carrot seed responded positively to the pre-sowing treatment.     

Effect of bFGF on glucose regulated protein 78 expression and apoptosis in human ovarian cancer CAOV3 cells

AIM: To evaluate the effect of bFGF on the apoptosis and the expression of glucose regulated protein 78 (GRP78) in ovarian cancer CAOV3 cells.METHODS: Starvation induced cell apoptosis was conducted. After treatment with bFGF, the cell cycle and apoptosis were determined by FACS analysis and Annexin V/PI staining, respectively. The expression of protein kinase B (PKB) and GRP78 were detected by Western blotting and RT-PCR. RESULTS: Compared to starvation group, the cells treated with bFGF were still viable and increased activation of PKB and high expression of GRP78 were observed, which were prevented by PKB inhibitor wortmannin effectively (P<0.01). CONCLUSION: bFGF plays a critical role in anti-apoptosis and proliferation in human ovarian cancer through PKB signal transduction pathway, partly by upregulating the expression of GRP78.     

甘肃省规模化奶牛场污染状况与防治对策研究

根据农业部2007年畜禽养殖场环境污染调查研究项目,结合甘肃省奶牛养殖业污染状况实际,抽样检测分析了规模化奶牛养殖场的污染状况,重点分析了粪便中全氮、全磷、有机质、铜、锌和污水中COD、氨氮、总磷、铜、锌等主要污染源含量.结果表明,2007年规模化奶牛场粪便、污水中的主要污染源对其周围环境产生了较为严重的污染.据此提出了畜禽养殖污染防治的对策.     

禽胰多肽对肉鸡肝脏和小肠组织中APPR mRNA表达量影响的研究

本试验旨在研究禽胰多肽(APP)对肉鸡肝脏和小肠组织中APPR mRNA表达量的影响.试验以APP粗提液及层析APP制品为材料,选取90只1周龄艾维菌肉鸡随机分为5组,每组3个重复,每个重复6只鸡.Ⅰ设为对照组,Ⅱ、Ⅲ设为饲饮组,Ⅳ、Ⅴ设为注射组.在第7周末,屠宰取其肝脏、小肠组织,运用SYBR Geen Ⅰ实时荧光定量PCR(RT-PCR)法对肝脏和小肠中APPR mRNA的表达进行相对定量分析.结果发现:注射组与饲饮组肝脏及小肠中APPR mRNA的表达水平与对照组相比均呈下降趋势,且注射组降低程度大于饲饮组降低程度;其中,注射组与饲饮组中均是层析APP制品比APP粗提液的下降较明显.提示在外加APP情况下可对APPR mRNA的表达呈现抑制作用.本研究结果为进一步探讨APP与其受体之间的关系,从而为阐明其生理功能和作用机制提供一定的理论依据.     

荔枝采后果皮变色机理研究

对不同采后处理的荔枝在贮藏过程中果皮的渗透率和多酚氧化酶活性变化进行了研究，结果表明：当果皮细胞膜渗透率大于30％时。荔枝果皮就发生大面积褐变；果皮细胞膜渗透率的变化是荔枝采后果皮变色的一个重要指标，而多酚氧化酶活性的高低并不是荔枝果皮颜色变化的决定因素。     

A mutation confers Monochoria vaginalis resistance to sulfonylureas that target acetolactate synthase

Acetolactate synthase (ALS) is the target enzyme for four distinct families of compounds: sulfonylureas (SUs), imidazolinones, triazolopyrimidine sulfonanilides, and pyrimidinyl oxybenzoates. We cloned and sequenced the fragments encoding ALS genes from biotypes of Monochoria vaginalis susceptible (S) and resistant (R) to SU-herbicides. The nucleotide sequences of the 39 bp Domain A region for R M. vaginalis biotype differed from that of the S biotype by a single nucleotide substitution at variable Pro codon of Domain A (CCT to TCT), predicting a Pro in the S but a Ser in the R biotype. No nucleotide differences between S and R M. vaginalis were observed in Domain D. We suggest that the amino acid substitution at Domain A region is responsible for resistance to SU-herbicides in M. vaginalis collected from Ushiku City, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan.     

草鱼呼肠孤病毒生长特性研究

以草鱼呼肠孤病毒(GCRV)873毒株为试验材料,建立了GCRV荧光定量PCR检测方法;用GCRV873株感染CIK细胞及草鱼,通过对病毒RNA复制水平、子代病毒含量以及细胞病变等情况进行监测,研究其在CIK细胞及草鱼体内的生长特性。在CIK细胞中,GCRV感染后12 h即可检测到子代病毒,36 h时,所有细胞被感染;72 h时,病毒滴度达到最高,为10~(6.75) TCID_(50)/mL。在草鱼的肝、脾、肾中,均能检测到GCRV RNA,其中肾脏中含量最高,其次是肝脏,脾脏中最少。本试验为研究GCRV致病机理及制备细胞灭活疫苗奠定了试验基础。     

如何做好重大动物疫病防控消毒药品的政府采购

本文指出了政府在消毒药品采购中存在高素质专业人才匮乏,采购方评标标准不一,低价中标忽视质量,不同品牌消毒剂功效差异大,国家标准有待完善等问题,建议政府采购以质量为先,尽快出台消毒药品采购指南,加强采购人员专业素质培养等。此外,政府采购的消毒药品应选择高效速效、安全低毒、无三致、使用成本低、适用大环境使用的药品,这有助于重大动物疫病防控工作的开展。

镉胁迫下富铁有机肥对芒草生长及镉富集的影响

为了探究镉胁迫下富铁有机肥对芒草生长及镉富集的影响,通过盆栽试验,设置CK（不施肥）、ZCK（施加普通有机肥）和Z2、Z3（施加不同浓度富铁有机肥）处理。结果表明：与CK相比,所有施肥处理均促进了芒草生长,改善了土壤理化性质,抑制了芒草富集重金属,且其中Z2、Z3比ZCK对芒草生长的效果更好。相对于ZCK,Z3的芒草干质量显著增加了131.80%,Z2的芒草根长显著增加了54.22%。此外,Z2地上部的镉含量相比于ZCK显著降低了49.86%,Z3地下部的镉含量相比于CK显著降低了58.94%。研究表明,施加富铁有机肥相对于普通有机肥更能有效促进芒草生长并抑制芒草对镉的富集,该肥料具有对轻度镉污染土壤进行边修复边生产的应用潜力。
