Twenty six species of pteridophytes (ferns and fern allies) were offered to the soil mite Rhizoglyphus robini Claparède (Acari: Astigmata: Acaridae) in Petri dishes. All plants provided nutrients and promoted growth of mite populations. Leaves of sixteen (61.5%) species were totally consumed or skeletonized while green, another seven only upon browning. The remaining three were left intact even after 3 months, although sori and their leachates provided food for the mites. Paper impregnated with pteridophyte leachates was consumed and encouraged mite reproduction. These findings neither support nor oppose the view that pteridophytes are under-utilized by arthropods but the adaptability of the specific experimental organism might have affected the results. Invertebrates feeding on dead, decomposing pteridophytes possibly reduce the latters' allelopathy to other plants. The ability of Rhizoglyphus to subsist on plant leachates, as well as bacteria or fungi developing thereon, could explain the mode of survival of this and other soil arthropods in deep, mineral soil strata. 相似文献

Utilization of the genetic resources of wild species to create a nontransgenic high flavonoid tomato
Willits MG Kramer CM Prata RT De Luca V Potter BG Steffens JC Graser G 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》2005,53(4):1231-1236
Flavonoids represent a large and important group of plant natural products that are ubiquitous in the plant kingdom. Epidemiological studies have shown the health benefits of a diet high in flavonoids. However, the dietary intake of flavonoids in most western populations is limited, creating a need to find alternative food sources for these polyphenolic secondary metabolites. The domestication of many of our cultivated food crops has resulted in alterations in the biosynthetic pathways of many essential micronutrients and vitamins through inadvertent counterselection against nutritional traits in favor of agronomic ones. Flavonoids are nearly absent from fruits of cultivated tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.), a major vegetable in human diets. Previous attempts to restore the flavonoid pathway in tomato fruits have been limited to transgenic strategies, suggesting that the problem was intractable through traditional methods. Here, we describe for the first time a nontransgenic metabolic engineering approach to developing a high flavonoid tomato using a wild tomato species (Lycopersicon pennelliiv. puberulum) and demonstrate the opportunities for restoring functional pathways using the genetic resources of wild species, resulting in production of healthier foods. 相似文献

Cyhexatin, dienochlor and four experimental acaricides, U-25322 (1-benzoyl-3-phenylhydrazine), U-27415 1-benzoyl-3-(2, 4, 6-trichlorophenyl)hydrazine, U-42558 [N1(4-chloro-o-tolyl) N2-methyl-N1-(phenylthio)formamidine], and U-42564 [N2-methyl-N1-(phenylthio)- N1-(2, 4-xylyl)formamidine], at 125 mg litre-1, induced spindown by the carmine spider mite, Tetranychus cinnabarinus (Boisduval). Cyhexatin caused the largest number of mites to spin-down, dienochlor the least. Spinning occurred only during the first 6 h after treatment. Mites spun the same average length of threads in response to all compounds. The pattern of spin-down was even and similar for all the compounds except dienochlor for which it was sporadic. Acaricide-induced spin-down is postulated to be an ‘all-or-nothing’ reaction. 相似文献

Copper(Cu)-based fungicide application to control foliar diseases in grapevine(Vitis vinifera L.) can increase soil Cu availability. Brazilian soils have high natural Cu and manganese(Mn) concentrations, increasing the potential for toxicity to grapevine plants. Application of amendment substances can reduce the concentrations of toxic chemical species of Cu and Mn in soil solution, especially for the soils grown with young plants. We evaluated the chemical speciation of Cu and Mn in soil soluti... 相似文献

The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of considering population structure in cow genotyping strategies over the accuracy and bias of genomic predictions. A small dairy cattle population was simulated to address these objectives. Based on four main traditional designs (random, top‐yield, extreme‐yield and top‐accuracy cows), different numbers (1,000; 2,000 and 5,000) of cows were sampled and included in the reference population. Traditional designs were replicated considering or not population structure and compared among and with a reference population containing only bulls. The inclusion of cows increased accuracy in all scenarios compared with using only bulls. Scenarios accounting for population structure when choosing cows to the reference population slightly outperformed their traditional versions by yielding higher accuracy and lower bias in genomic predictions. Building a cow‐based reference population from groups of related individuals considering the frequency of individuals from those same groups in the validation population yielded promising results with applications on selection for expensive‐ or difficult‐to‐measure traits. Methods here presented may be easily implemented in both new or already established breeding programs, as they improved prediction and reduced bias in genomic evaluations while demanding no additional costs. 相似文献

A pig was in left lateral recumbency with limb spasticity, accentuated prostration, and strabismus, and was euthanized. During autopsy, yellowing of the leptomeninges at the ventral pons to medulla oblongata was noted. In the cerebellar peduncles, there was a focally extensive black-to-yellow area at the level of the vestibular nuclei. Histologic examination revealed a cross-section of a nematode larva, consistent with Stephanurus dentatus, bordered by edema and marked infiltration of mononuclear cells, plasma cells, and a few eosinophils. Vacuolation of the neuropil, with rare gitter cells and axonal spheroids, was also observed. We diagnosed parasitic encephalitis caused by S. dentatus migration based on the pathology findings and characterization of the parasite. 相似文献

In a study of date fruit damage caused byOligonychus spp., we investigated whether the cultivar affects phenology, and on what hosts the mites over-winter. Samples were taken
from ‘Deglet Noor’, ‘Barhi’ and ‘Medjool’ trees from mid-April through mid-September during the years 1999–2002. In the ground-cover
mites were monitored by collecting Bermuda grass (Cynodon dactylon) under each sampling tree. Over 99% of the mites collected on Deglet Noor and Barhi fruit were identified asO. afrasiaticus. Mean population levels ofO. afrasiaticus reached ten mites or more (initiation of infestation) on Medjool in the second half of May, whereas on Deglet Noor this did
not occur before the first week of July. On Barhi the initiation of infestation varied between plots and years, ranging from
the second half of May to the beginning of July, but always occurred earlier than Deglet Noor. Mite populations on the pinnae
remained low from June through October, not exceeding seven mites per pinna, whereas on fruit strands they reached peak populations
of approximately 4000 mites per strand. The sex ratio (proportion of females) ofO. afrasiaticus on fruit of all three cultivars was highly female-biased, usually above 0.85. During winter,O. afrasiaticus was found on Bermuda grass in the orchard ground-cover as well as on fronds of all three cultivars.

A quick and easy method for estimating the number of surviving nymphs of the tobacco whitefly (TWF),Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius) (Homoptera: Aleyrodidae), after spray applications was developed in the laboratory. The method is based on the number of honeydew droplets ejected by TWF immatures during 30 minutes. Since the nymphs ofB. tabaci feed on the lower leaf surfaces, the honeydew excreted falls downward. In this study infested cotton leaves were placed with their lower side up, forcing the nymphs to eject the honeydew droplet upwards. Inverted plastic petri dish covers were placed over infested cotton leaves and after 30 minutes the droplets deposited on the inner side of each cover were counted and the average number of droplets per nymph was calculated. To estimate the number of live nymphs on an infested cotton leaf, the number of droplets ejected during 30 minutes was divided by the average number of droplets per nymph (factor of 1.23). 相似文献

The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of including weaning management group (WMG) as an uncorrelated random effect in the genetic evaluation of postweaning traits. Data from 186,507 Nellore animals' sons to 1,734 sires and 75,016 cows were analyzed. Three single-trait models were studied. These models included the contemporary group (CG) as a fixed effect and age of animal at measurement and age of dam at calving as covariates, in addition to the direct additive breeding value as random effect. The CGs for postweaning traits varied between models which included or not WMG as part of the concatenation of fixed effects. In the model in which WMG was not part of the CG, the trait was included as an uncorrelated random effect. The results suggest that although no significant effects were observed on genetic parameter estimates or animal ranking, the inclusion of WMG as an uncorrelated random effect increased the number of observations per CG and contributed to maintaining animals in the analysis that would be discarded because they were in a CG with a small number of observations. This model could therefore be recommended for the genetic evaluation of this Nellore population. 相似文献
