降水格局对科尔沁沙地三种草本植物凋落物分解的影响

基于研究区多年降水特征,设置高频低量、中频中量和低频高量3种降水格局,采用凋落物分解袋法,对科尔沁沙地3种常见一年生草本植物一个生长季地上和地下凋落物分解特征进行了研究。结果表明,降水格局和凋落物埋深均是影响分解率的关键因素。其中地表凋落物的分解率显著低于地下凋落物,随埋深增加地下凋落物的分解率有增加的趋势,10~20 cm层狗尾草地下凋落物分解率显著高于0~10 cm层(P<0.01)。低频高量降水状况下地上凋落物的分解率显著降低(P<0.01)。降水格局与凋落物埋深存在显著的耦合关系(F=3.60, P=0.008),随土壤深度增加,降水格局对凋落物分解率的影响减少,且物种间存在差异性,不同降水格局下狗尾草和黄蒿地上凋落物和0~10 cm埋深地下凋落物分解率均存在显著差异性(P<0.05),而尖头叶藜仅地上凋落物在不同降水格局下的分解率表现出显著差异性(F=48.42, P<0.001)。     

施氮对狼尾草在南方贫瘠旱坡地生长、能源品质及氮肥利用率的影响

为探究狼尾草作为生物质能源原材料在南方贫瘠旱坡地生长对氮素的响应,研究4个施氮水平(0、112.5、225.0和337.5 kg N·hm^-2)对能源型狼尾草桂能草1号农艺性状、产量、SPAD值、生物质能源品质及氮肥利用率的影响。结果表明,施用氮肥可促进狼尾草横、纵向生长,随施氮量的增加狼尾草的株高、茎粗和单位面积有效茎数逐步提高,但叶片叶绿素含量和鲜、干草产量的提高程度在施氮量超过225.0 kg N·hm^-2后,有饱和趋势。施用氮肥还可明显提高狼尾草纤维素含量、半纤维素含量、热值和折合标准煤产量,显著降低干物质、木质素和灰分含量,总体改善了狼尾草的能源利用品质;但施氮量达337.5 kg N·hm^-2时,狼尾草热值下降,且对折合标准煤产量的增加作用不明显,降低了狼尾草的能源利用品质。此外,在一定施氮量范围内(112.5~225.0 kg N·hm^-2),狼尾草氮肥利用效率并未随施氮量的增加而显著降低,但施氮量达337.5 kg N·hm^-2时,氮肥利用率显著降低。因此,狼尾草在南方贫瘠旱坡地种植,为获得理想的生物质能源材料需及时补充氮素营养,但施氮量不宜超过225.0 kg N·hm^-2。     

川西北高寒沙地不同年限高山柳林下优势植物碳、氮、磷生态化学计量特征

通过采集川西北高寒沙地不同年限(6、18、24年)高山柳林下3种优势植被藏沙蒿、裂叶独活和镰荚棘豆,分别测定分析3种植被叶片、根部C、N、P化学计量特征变化特征。结果表明:不同年限高山柳林下植被C、N、P含量及其比值间存在显著差异且呈现出不同变化趋势。林下植被C含量整体下降;叶N含量呈上升趋势,根N含量随年限增长而下降;除藏沙蒿外,林下植被P含量变化不显著;C∶N变化范围为1.92~12.86;C∶P为29.18~196.88;不同年限高山柳林下植被N∶P间虽存在差异,但均表现出主要受到P限制,表明该区域植被生长主要受P限制,应注意P养分的适当补充。     

不同轮作序列对旱地胡麻土壤有机碳稳定性的影响

为了探索陇中黄土高原半干旱丘陵沟壑区胡麻轮作序列对土壤碳库的影响,2012-2016年通过4年定位试验,以连作为对照,研究了不同胡麻频率下的轮作序列(F:休闲;PWFW:25%Flax、马铃薯-小麦-胡麻-小麦;WFWP:25%Flax、小麦-胡麻-小麦-马铃薯;FWPF:50%Flax、胡麻-小麦-马铃薯-胡麻;WPFF:50%Flax、小麦-马铃薯-胡麻-胡麻;FFFF:100%Flax、胡麻-胡麻-胡麻-胡麻)对土壤团聚体、总有机碳(TOC)、土壤颗粒有机碳(POC)、土壤微生物碳(MBC)和氮(MBN)的影响。结果表明,休闲、不同轮作序列和低胡麻频率显著增加了030 cm土层<0.25 mm粒级的土壤团聚体含量、TOC和POC含量,而随胡麻频率的增加三者的含量呈下降趋势。其中,25%Flax处理下土壤团聚体含量较播前和休闲处理分别显著增加了2.02%4.04%和9.56%11.73%;土壤有机碳(SOC)较连作显著增加5.95%7.48%。50%Flax处理下胡麻位置对土壤SOC影响显著,且轮作(FWPF)显著高于连作(WPFF)。060 cm土层土壤SOC含量表现为休闲>播前≈25%Flax>50%Flax>100%Flax。与连作相比,轮作显著提高了010 cm土层土壤TOC和POC含量,呈现表层富集现象。土壤POC含量表现为25%Flax≈休闲>50%Flax>100%Flax。此外,轮作换茬显著增加了土壤MBC含量,且随着胡麻频率的增加,030 cm土层土壤MBC含量逐渐降低。与播前、休闲、轮作相比,连作显著降低土壤微生物碳氮比,50%Flax(WPFF)轮作序列和土层深度对土壤有机碳和微生物量的互作效应显著。综合来看,休闲可以显著改善土壤理化性状,25%胡麻频率的轮作序列利于保持土壤团聚体稳定性,增加土壤TOC、SOC和POC含量,而50%Flax轮作序列(WPFF)能够提高土壤微生物量和微生物碳氮比。表明25%胡麻频率的轮作序列均可维持土壤有机碳的稳定性,是旱地胡麻比较理想的轮作序列。     

土壤易氧化有机碳与溶解性有机碳对荒漠草地沙漠化过程中土壤碳库变异的表征

以干旱、半干旱地区荒漠草地不同沙漠化阶段土壤为研究对象,研究不同沙漠化阶段土壤易氧化有机碳与溶解性有机碳含量和分配比例变异规律,分析不同沙漠化阶段土壤碳库指数变化,探讨荒漠草地沙漠化过程中土壤易氧化有机碳与溶解性有机碳对土壤碳库的表征作用。结果表明,随着荒漠草地沙漠化程度的加剧,易氧化有机碳含量表现出一定的波动性,但整体呈下降趋势,溶解性有机碳含量呈线性下降。易氧化有机碳和溶解性有机碳分配比例均在荒漠草地达到最大值,在半固定沙地达到最小值。利用易氧化有机碳含量计算的土壤碳库管理指数随荒漠草地沙漠化程度增加表现出先下降后上升趋势,利用溶解性有机碳含量计算的土壤碳库管理指数呈线性下降趋势。易氧化有机碳、溶解性有机碳含量与土壤有机碳均显著正相关,但溶解性有机碳的相关系数略高于易氧化有机碳。通过比较活度敏感指数和碳库管理指数敏感指数发现,荒漠草地逆向演替至固定沙地过程中,易氧化有机碳的各项敏感指数均高于溶解性有机碳。固定沙地演替至流动沙地过程中,溶解性有机碳的各项敏感指数均高于易氧化有机碳,表明易氧化有机碳能够较好地表征荒漠草地沙漠化前期土壤碳库变化,而荒漠草地沙漠化中期和后期利用溶解性有机碳表征效果更好。     

Methyl donors dietary supplementation to gestating sows diet improves the growth rate of offspring and is associating with changes in expression and DNA methylation of insulin‐like growth factor‐1 gene

The study aimed to investigate the effects of maternal dietary methyl donors on the performance of sows and their offspring, and the associated hepatic insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) expression of the offspring. A total of 24 multiparous sows were randomly fed the control (CON) or the CON diet supplemented with methyl donors (MD) at 3 g/kg betaine, 15 mg/kg folic acid, 400 mg/kg choline and 150 μg/kg VB₁₂, from mating until delivery. After farrowing, sows were fed a common lactation diet through a 28‐days lactation period and six litters per treatment were selected to be fed until at approximately 110 kg BW. Maternal MD supplementation resulted in greater birthweight (p < 0.05) and increased the piglet weights (p < 0.01) and litter weights (p < 0.05) at the age of day 28, compared with that in CON group. The offspring pigs in the MD group had greater ADG (p < 0.05) and tended to lower F:G ratio (p = 0.07) compared with that of CON group from day 28 to 180 of age. The offspring pigs from MD group had greater serum IGF‐1 concentrations and expressions of hepatic IGF‐1 gene and muscular IGF‐1 receptor (IGF‐1r) protein at birth (p < 0.05), and greater hepatic IGF‐1 protein (p = 0.03) and muscular IGF‐1r gene expressions (p < 0.05) at slaughter, than that from the CON group. Moreover, the methylation at the promoter of IGF‐1 gene in the liver of newborn piglets and finishing pigs was greater in the MD group than that of the CON group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, maternal MD supplementation throughout gestation could enhance the birthweight and postnatal growth rate of offspring, associated with an increased expression of the IGF‐1 gene and IGF‐1r, as well as the altered DNA methylation of IGF‐1 gene promotor.     

Effects of five cryoprotectants on proliferation and differentiation‐related gene expression of frozen‐thawed bovine calf testicular tissue

The cryopreservation of testicular tissue is a potential method for preserving male fertility. However, the effect of cryopreservation on bovine calf testicular tissue is scarce. This study investigated the effect of different cryoprotectants on bovine calf testicular tissue at the molecular level. Testicular tissue from ten immature bovine calves (6 months) was collected after slaughter and cryopreserved in an extender containing different concentrations of the following five cryopreservation solutions (CP): bovine serum albumin (BSA) with 5% dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), trehalose with 5% DMSO, DMSO and glycerol and ethylene glycol (EG). After 7‐day cryopreservation, the expression levels of three spermatogonial stem cell (SSC)‐related genes, octamer‐4 (OCT4), KIT ligand (MGF/SCF) and kit oncogene (C‐KIT), were investigated by quantitative PCR (qPCR). The cell viability was highest for the tissues preserved with 30 mg/ml BSA (77.82% ± 1.22) and 40 mg/ml trehalose (74.23% ± 1.16) compared with other groups (p < 0.05), and the level of expression of the three genes was highest with 30 mg/ml BSA (p < 0.05). Compared with other CPs, the 30 mg/ml BSA and 40 mg/ml trehalose have the better cryopreserve protection. The 30 mg/ml BSA is the most viable media for the cryopreservation of testicular tissue from cattle.     

紫花苜蓿茎秆组织中木质素的分布与沉积模式

以甘农5号紫花苜蓿(Medicago sativa‘Gannong No.5’)为材料,采用组织化学染色方法研究了茎秆中木质素的发生、分布与沉积规律。结果表明,苜蓿茎秆中木质素的分布与生长部位密切相关,在茎秆顶端初生维管组织中仅木质部有木质素分布,随节间下移,木质素开始在初生韧皮纤维、次生木质部和髓射线中大量沉积;茎秆中存在G、S两种木质素,S木质素的发生迟于G木质素;在维管束之间,两种木质素均以"厚角组织处维管束→厚角组织间维管束"的模式沉积,但在维管束内,木质素沉积表现出异质性,G木质素沉积模式为"初生木质部导管→初生韧皮纤维→次生木质部和髓射线";S木质素沉积模式为"初生韧皮纤维→次生木质部和髓射线→髓薄壁细胞"。分析认为,紫花苜蓿茎秆中木质素特殊的沉积模式可能是其对北温带生长环境的一种适应对策。
