基于反射光谱的山核桃幼苗氮素营养状况分析

山核桃(Carya cathayensis)是世界著名的干果之一,也是重要的木本油料作物,其油味清香、营养丰富,是优良的休闲保健食品.山核桃长期以来产量不稳、大小年现象明显,通过肥水管理、病虫害防治等有效管理措施,大部分产区大小年现象都明显趋缓,产量逐年上升(黎章矩,2003).我国山核桃研究起步较晚,在其营养方面的研究甚少.     

用直接估计法预测落叶松枯枝含水率的稳定性和外推误差分析

采用Catchpole等提出的直接估计法分析实验室中3组不同直径(0.5,1.0,1.5cm)的兴安落叶松枯枝的失水过程,通过交叉验证研究所得模型的稳定性,并对模型的外推误差进行分析。结果表明:枯枝的时滞和平衡含水率参数变化很小,结果具有良好的稳定性。同一直径的不同枝条在时滞、平衡含水率参数等方面存在差异。模型外推没有改变残差的正态分布,但外推后的残差增大。非外推残差集中出现在数值较小的区间上,而外推残差在这些区间上出现的概率下降,在非外推残差没有出现的数值较大的区间上出现的概率增加。研究给出枯枝在不同含水率预测值时不同残差出现的条件概率和均值。随含水率预测值的增加,残差有增加的趋势,不仅是平均值,大的残差出现的概率也在增加。据此可对外推模型所预测的含水率进行评判,确定其误差均值和不同残差出现的可能性,以减少据此进行的火险预报和火行为预报中的不确定性。用至少4个枯枝的混合数据在一定程度上可降低外推误差,减少这种不确定性。由于所有材料和实验条件最大程度上减少了材料和环境的差异,上述结果也可被看作用模型外推预测野外可燃物含水率时可能出现的误差的下限。     

木荷天然林分个体类型及材性性状变异

在浙、闽2省选取成一定纬度和海拔梯度的6个木荷天然林分,开展树干形质、树皮形态、木材纹理扭曲度、木材颜色和基本密度等个体类型表型变异及产地纬度和海拔影响研究。结果表明:木荷天然林分个体树皮厚度、颜色、形状及木材颜色等类型多样,除木材纹理扭曲度外,树干形质、树皮形态和木材基本密度等在林分间存在显著表型差异,但在林分内个体间变异以木材纹理扭曲度最大,树干圆满度、通直度和木材基本密度最小。木材性状的径向变异研究发现:木材基本密度由髓心向树皮方向逐渐下降,而年轮则先变宽后变窄,15～25年轮为平稳生长期。较高纬度的天然林分其树干相对通直圆满、树皮较薄、木材颜色较浅,而其他性状则未呈现明显的规律性;随海拔升高,木荷天然林分具有树干圆满、树皮薄而光滑,但树干通直度低、年轮窄、木材基本密度小的变化趋势。基于中心产区2个不同海拔天然林分个体性状相关分析表明,性状相关因林分所处海拔不同而有较大差异。在高海拔林分中,树皮性状是材性和径生长较好的指示指标,树干圆满的个体树皮光滑且颜色较浅、木材基本密度较小,而树干越通直的个体,树皮颜色越深,径生长也越快;在低海拔林分中,树皮厚度对树皮的其他性状和木材密度也有较好的指示作用,树干通直...     

樟子松针叶床层结构对失水过程中含水率参数的影响

以樟子松针叶床层为例,初步研究可燃物结构床层结构特征对其失水过程中时滞和平衡含水率参数(基于Nelson模型)的影响。通过对15个不同厚度、载量、密度的樟子松可燃物床层的失水过程的分析,估计这些床层的时滞和平衡含水率参数,利用这些参数进行可燃物含水率模拟的平均绝对误差和均方根误差均不超过0.01,所估计的可燃物含水率参数有效。对可燃物床层结构特征对这些参数的影响的研究表明,可燃物床层厚度和载量对时滞和平衡含水率的2个参数a、b具有有显著影响,与时滞和平衡含水率参数b正相关,与平衡含水率参数a负相关,据此建立可燃物含水率参数的预测模型。该模型高估了时滞和平衡含水率参数b,低估了平衡含水率参数a。所得结果还有一些不确定性,特别是可燃物结构特征对平衡含水率参数的影响,需要在更宽的温湿度范围内、针对其他平衡含水率模型和在失水吸水2个过程上进一步研究。

花粉萌发、花粉管生长是植物有性生殖的重要环节,包含许多复杂的生理过程。微丝是细胞骨架重要组成成分,很多研究表明微丝在花粉萌发、花粉管内原生质流动(Justus et al.,2004)、花粉管顶端生长(Li et al.,2001)等方面具有重要的作用。花粉管     

In vitro suppression of quercetin on hypertrophy and extracellular matrix accumulation in rat glomerular mesangial cells cultured by high glucose

Quercetin's protective effects on the glomerulosclerosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) in rat mesangial cells were investigated. The cell cycles, type IV collagen and laminin, TGF-β₁ mRNA, Smad 2/3 and Smad 7, and activities of cell antioxidases were measured. Compared with the high glucose group, quercetin may decrease the cell percentages of G₀/G₁ phase, Smad 2/3 expression, laminin and type IV collagen, and TGF-β₁ mRNA level significantly. The antioxidant capacity, the cell percentages of S phase and Smad 7 expression was significantly increased by quercetin. These results suggest that quercetin is a protective agent against glomerulosclerosis in DN.     

Neuroprotective labdane diterpenes from Fritillaria ebeiensis

By bioactivity-guided isolation, two labdane diterpenes (1 and 2) have been isolated from the bulbs of Fritillaria ebeiensis. Their structures were elucidated as 6α,7β-dihydroxy-labda-8(17),12(E),14-triene (1) and 6-oxo-2α-hydroxy-labda-7,12(E), 14-triene (2), on the basis of spectroscopic data analysis (IR, ESI-MS, HR-ESI-MS, 1D and 2D NMR).
