母源基因Gdf9、Zar1、Mater和Dnmt1mRNA在绵羊卵母细胞和早期胚胎中的表达

为探讨母源基因在绵羊卵母细胞和胚胎发育过程中的表达模式,运用Real-time PCR技术研究4种母源基因:Gdf9(生长分化因子9)、Zar1(合子阻泄因子)、Mater(胚胎必要的母体抗原)及Dnmt1(DNA甲基化转移酶1)的mRNAs在绵羊GV期卵母细胞,24h成熟卵母细胞,2-细胞、4-细胞、8-细胞、16-细胞胚胎以及囊胚中的含量变化情况。结果表明:在GV期卵中Zar1、Mater、Gdf9以及Dnmt1m RNA相对含量最高(P<0.05);从2-细胞胚胎开始,4种基因的mRNA相对含量显著降低(P<0.05),各基因mRNA的含量在不同发育阶段的卵母细胞和胚胎中存在动态变化,这对卵子生长和胚胎发育有重要意义。     

不同脱萼处理对‘华梨1号’梨脱萼率及果实品质的影响

以‘华梨1号’梨为试材,于梨花露白的花蕾期和盛花期喷施不同浓度的PBO和40%氟硅唑处理,研究不同脱萼处理对‘华梨1号’梨果脱萼率、座果率、单果重、果形指数和果实外观品质和内在品质的影响。结果表明：喷施不同浓度的PBO和40%氟硅唑处理对于‘华梨1号’梨幼果的萼片脱落及果实品质的影响差异显著。其中喷施12000 倍40%氟硅唑+600 倍PBO处理脱萼效果最为显著,幼果脱萼果率为92.53%;花朵座果率为97.58%,与清水对照处理差异不显著;果形指数为0.89,显著低于其他处理的果形指数,果形呈扁圆形,提高了果实的整齐度,改善了梨果外观品质;同时显著提高梨果的可溶性固形物和可溶性糖的含量,降低了梨果的果肉硬度,提高了‘华梨1号’梨果实的内在品质。     

Effect of gut stress induced by oxidized wheat gluten on the growth performance,gut morphology and oxidative states of broilers

This study was to investigate the effect of oxidized wheat gluten (OG) on growth performance, gut morphology and its oxidative states of broilers. One hundred and eighty‐day‐old male broilers (10 chicks/pen) were randomly allocated into three dietary treatments: control diet (CON), diet with 8% wheat gluten (WG) and diet with 8% OG with six pens/treatment. Body weight (BW) (21 and 35 days) and average daily gain (ADG) (1–21 days and 22–35 days) decreased (p < .05) and feed conversion ratio (FCR) (1–21 days and 22–35 days) increased (p < .05) in OG treatment. Feed intake (FI) decreased (p < .05) in WG and OG treatments during 22–35 days. However, FI was not influenced by dietary treatments during 1–21 days (p > .05). The OG‐fed broilers had a lower faecal pH value (p < .05) and higher faecal moisture content (p < 05) at 14, 21, 28 and 35 days. Villus height, crypt depth and V/C value were not different (p > .05) among treatments at 21 and 35 days. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) (21 and 35 days) and malondialdehyde (MDA) (35 days) content in crop of OG treatment increased (p < .05). Oxidized glutathione (GSSG) (21 days), LPO (21 and 35 days) and MDA (21 and 35 days) content in ileum of OG treatment increased (p < .05). The reduced glutathione/oxidized glutathione (GSH/GSSG) (21 days) and (GSH) (35 days) in ileum of OG treatment decreased (p < .05). The present findings indicate that OG might be a stressor for broiler gut, which could induce oxidative stress both in crop and in ileum, and the diarrhoea as well. The growth performance of broiler was consequently depressed.     

母犬的异常发情

受生理、营养、疾病、年龄等因素影响,母犬往往会异常发情。如不能及时发现,将会延误配种。现将母犬常见的几种异常发情的原因及防治措施介绍如下：     

A Simple and Rapid PCR‐Based Method for Ostrich Sexing Using Micro Amounts of DNA

The aim of the present study is to identify ostrich sex by using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) on micro amounts of DNA from blood, bloodstain and feathers. Sixteen male and 18 female ostriches were used as test individuals. Genomic DNA as a template was extracted by the Chelex method. Ostrsex‐P1 and P2 primers were designed to perform PCR amplification on the template. PCR products were checked using agarose gel electrophoresis with ethidium bromide staining and ostrich sex was determined directly by the bands shown on the gel. The results demonstrate that ostrich sex can be determined by the extraction of DNA from as little as 0.0125 μl blood using Chelex, whereby the use of large amounts of organic solvents such as phenol and chloroform are unnecessary. In addition, it is possible to identify ostrich sex using micro amounts of DNA extracted from bloodstains and/or feathers. The use of feathers particularly avoids unwanted sampling problems such as the difficulty of collecting ostrich blood, the stress to the ostrich caused by bleeding, and the demand for a lot of manpower for ostrich restraint.     

钨酸钠-磷钼酸比色分光光度法测定饲料中的单宁
