利用Affymetrix芯片分析DON诱导抗赤霉病小麦品种望水白的基因表达谱

中国小麦地方品种望水白不但高抗赤霉病,而且其籽粒中DON(脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇,被认为是赤霉病的致病因子)含量也低.为了研究望水白低DON含量的分子机制,利用Affymetrix小麦基因芯片对望水白受DON诱导调控的基因进行高通量的检测,以DON诱导后12 h和24 h混合样品作为处理组,水处理做为对照.总共检测到差异表达的基因1 114个,其中上调表达的基因有949个,下调基因165个.在上调表达基因中,推断有功能的基因涉及转录因子、信号蛋白、着丝粒蛋白以及与病程相关的基因,如:腺苷三磷酸结合盒转运蛋白,谷胱甘酞转移酶、细胞色素P450酶、苯丙氨酸解氨酶、葡萄糖基转移酶以及抗病蛋白等.对上调表达中的部分基因进行RT-PCR分析,证实它们都受DON诱导上调表达,与芯片检测结果吻合.     

Studies on bovine Breda virus

Diarrheic feces from 21 calves were examined by electron microscopy and 16 contained particles morphologically similar to those of Breda virus. The particles were spherical or elongated, 60-270 nm in greatest dimension and had surface spikes 9-13 nm long. Convalescent serum from a human patient with Breda virus-associated diarrhea reacted with one of the bovine viruses by immune electron microscopy, suggesting a serological resemblance between human and bovine Breda-like viruses. Immune electron-microscopy and immunofluorescence demonstrated that isolates of bovine Breda virus from the U.S.A. were related to the French virus. One of the viruses had a density in sucrose solution of 1.16, similar to the value for Berne virus.

河口景观生态湿地需水量探讨

摘要：河口湿地是一个新生的湿地系统,它具有生物多样性、海陆过渡性、新生性及生态脆弱性等特点。本论文总结了河口湿地的特点,提出河口景观生态湿地需水量的概念及组成要素：自身存在需水量及日常补水量; 分析河口湿地需水量的经典计算方法,然后根据相关指标标准和相应级别对湿地植物需水量、湿地土壤需水量、生物栖息地需水量和补水需水量进行重点探讨。最后提出建立河口景观湿地绿色旅游的意义是让游客在认识湿地的同时,提高湿地生态环保意识。     

饥饿和再投喂对白斑狗鱼生长性能和生化组成的影响

选用体重196.77±7.60g的白斑狗鱼（Esox Lucius Linnaeus）为研究对象,试验设置饥饿14d、21d、28d、35d、42d组和正常投喂对照组,各组饥饿结束后恢复饱食投喂,试验周期为56d,水温为22～26℃,研究了饥饿和再投喂对白斑狗鱼生长性能、体生化组成和肌肉、肝脏RNA/DNA比值的影响。结果表明：饥饿再投喂后各处理组均出现补偿生长现象,在恢复生长结束后,饥饿14d组体重显著高于对照组（P＜0.05）,其他各饥饿处理组体重与对照组无显著性差异（P＞0.05）;随着饥饿时间的延长,饥饿各处理组肌肉的脂肪含量显著下降（P＜0.05）,水分含量显著升高（P＜0.05）,恢复投喂结束时各饥饿处理组蛋白质和水分含量恢复到对照组水平;在恢复投喂初期各处理组的特定生长率、摄食率和食物转化效率显著高于对照组水平（P＜0.05）,随着恢复生长时间的延长,逐渐恢复到对照组水平（P＞0.05）;肌肉和肝脏的RNA/DNA比值均随饥饿时间的延长呈逐渐下降的趋势,在恢复投喂结束时,RNA/DNA比值均在饥饿28d组达到最大值。由此表明饥饿14d组的白斑狗鱼在恢复生长过程中出现了超补偿生长效应,21d组、28d组、35d组和42d组出现了完全补偿生长效应,该补偿效应是由摄食率和食物转化效率升高共同作用的结果。     

Efficacy of a novel formulation of metaflumizone plus amitraz for the treatment of demodectic mange in dogs

A novel spot-on formulation containing metaflumizone plus amitraz (ProMeris/ProMeris Duo for Dogs, Fort Dodge Animal Health, Overland Park, KS) was evaluated for efficacy against demodectic mange mites in naturally infested dogs. Sixteen dogs were allocated to two equal groups and individually housed. Eight of the dogs were treated topically with metaflumizone plus amitraz at the proposed minimum dose rate (20mg/kg of each of metaflumizone and amitraz, 0.133ml/kg) on Days 0, 28, and 56. The other eight were treated with metaflumizone plus amitraz at the proposed minimum dose rate on Days 0, 14, 28, 42, 56, and 70. Mite numbers were estimated from skin scrapings taken on Days -3 to -1, 28, 56, and 84. Clinical signs of mange and the extent of demodectic lesions on each dog were evaluated when skin scrapings were conducted. Efficacy of the treatment was based on a reduction in mite numbers and an assessment of the clinical signs associated with canine demodectic mange. Treatment at monthly or two-weekly intervals for 3 months resulted in a rapid reduction in mite numbers (>94 and >99% for the monthly and two-weekly treatments, respectively) and an improvement in clinical signs. Success rates, based on zero mite counts in skin scrapings at Day 84 were 42.9 and 62.5% of dogs for the monthly and two-weekly regimens, respectively.     

Evapotranspiration of citrus as affected by soil water deficit and soil salinity

Summary The extent to which evapotranspiration (ET) of Valencia citrus trees is affected by differing soil water depletions (SWD) and soil salinity regimes was determined during five seasons during which soil salinity levels varied. Three weighing lysimeters, each with a 14 year old tree, were used to measure daily ET and to schedule irrigation to maintain SWD at maxima of 15, 75 and 150 mm respectively. Tensiometers and salinity sensors were used to indicate the in situ soil matric and soil solution osmotic potentials. Total soil water potential was calculated from tensiometer and salinity sensor readings weighted for root density with depth. The total of these for the summer months was found to be linearly related (Fig. 5) to the mean ET/Ep (Ep=A-pan evaporation). The slope and threshold of ET reductions with decreasing soil water potential for the low frequency irrigation treatment (150 mm SWD) show good agreement with the slope and threshold of yield decrease that is calculated from soil salinity in the lysimeter using previously reported salinity-yield relationships. The reduced water uptake due to increasing soil salinity has important implications for soil salinity control, since the lower uptake should in theory increase the leaching fraction. This implies a degree of self adjustment to the leaching fraction when irrigating with increasingly saline waters if water applications are scheduled as for non-saline conditions.     

Distribution of the portunid crab Ovalipes punctatus (De Haan) in Algoa Bay and salinity and temperature tolerances of its zoeae

The three-spot swimming crab Ovalipes punctatus is commonly found in surf zones off sandy beaches in Algoa Bay. It is exclusively marine and occurs down to a depth of 38 m. Large crabs were found close inshore while smaller crabs were predominantly found in deeper water, suggesting that settlement mainly occurs offshore in water 25 – 38 m deep. Gravid females were found closer inshore in shallow water. The zoeae could not tolerate high temperatures (>27,5 °C) or low salinities (<15‰). The optimal temperatures and salinities for survival of the zoeae were 15–22 °C and 34–35‰ respectively.     

Common dental disorders in the donkey

Normal dental anatomy and the range of dental disorders found in donkeys are largely similar to those described in horses. Recent studies have shown dental disease to have a high prevalence in donkeys. Some dental disorders, such as diastemata, displaced teeth and wave mouth can have serious clinical consequences by causing oral pain and weight loss and even predispose to colic. Many of these signs can be prevented by regular dental treatment that can slow down or even prevent the progression of these disorders.     

利用小麦SSR标记追踪大赖草染色体Lr.2、Lr.7、Lr.14及其片段

定位于小麦7个部分同源群上的337对SSR引物中有113对SSR引物可检测到大赖草与普通小麦基因组间多态性，对小麦一大赖草Lr．2、Lr．7和Lr.14的异附加系和易位系的进一步分析表明，小麦7BL上的SSR引物gwm112在大赖草染色体Lr．2上具有特异扩增位点，可用来追踪Lr．2；5AS上的SSR引物gwm205、5AL的gwml56和5DL上的gwm212在Lr．7和Lr．14中均有特异扩增产物，可用于追踪Lr．7和Lr．14；而7AL上的SSR引物gwm63仅在大赖草染色体Lr．7上具有扩增位点。这不仅揭示了Lr．7可能存在第5和第7部分同源群染色体重排，而且也表明将引物gwm205、gwm156、gwm212与gwm63相结合可分别追踪大赖草Lr.7和Lr．14染色体及其片段。利用这些SSR引物可追踪同一植株中不同的大赖草染色体；与簇毛麦染色体6V上的SCAR标记相结合，能追踪同一植株中的大赖草和簇毛麦染色体片段。
