Identification of QTLs associated with salinity tolerance at late growth stage in barley

Salinity is a major abiotic stress to barley (Hordum vulgare L.) growth and yield. In the current study, quantitative trait loci (QTL) for yield and physiological components at the late growth stage under salt stress and non-stress environments were determined in barley using a double haploid population derived from a cross between CM72 (salt-tolerant) and Gairdner (salt-sensitive). A total of 30 QTLs for 10 traits, including tiller numbers (TN), plant height, spikes per line (SPL), spikes per plant (SPP), dry weight per plant, grains per plant, grain yield, shoot Na⁺ (NA) and K⁺ concentraitions (K) in shoot, and Na⁺/K⁺ ratio (NAK), were detected, with 17 and 13 QTLs under non-stress and salt stress, respectively. The phenotypic variation explained by individual QTL ranged from 3.25 to 29.81%. QTL flanked by markers bPb-1278 and bPb-8437 on chromosomes 4H was associated with TN, SPL, and SPP under salt stress. This locus may be useful in the breeding program of marker-assisted selection for improving salt tolerance of barley. However, QTLs associated with NA, K, and NAK differed greatly between non-stress and salt stress environments. It may be suggested that only the QTLs detected under salt stress are really associated with salt tolerance in barley. D. Xue and Y. Huang contributed equally to the article.     

Metabolic characterization of newly isolated Pseudomonas nitroreducens Jin1 growing on eugenol and isoeugenol

Newly isolated soil bacterium strain Jin1 was able to grow on both eugenol and isoeugenol each as sole source of carbon and energy. Based on bacterial 16S rDNA analysis, Jin1 belongs to Pseudomonas nitroreducens with a similarity of 98.92% (14/1297). P. nitroreducens Jin1 was found to biotransform eugenol and isoeugenol to vanillin by different pathways. Eugenol was biotransformed to vanillin through coniferyl alcohol and ferulic acid similarly to the pathway shown previously by Pseudomonassp. HR199 and vanillin produced from eugenol was rapidly metabolized to vanillic acid. Contrastively, Pseudomonas nitroreducens Jin1 did not appear to produce metabolic intermediates during the biotransformation of isoeugenol to vanillin which was finally biotransformed to vanillic acid with much slower rate. These results indicate that there seems to be different metabolic regulation systems for the biotransformation of eugenol and isoeugenol by this bacterium. Herein, we report on Pseudomonas nitroreducens Jin1, a novel bacterium that produces vanillin from eugenol and isoeugenol by two different metabolic pathways.     

Molecular epidemiology of Newcastle disease viruses in Vietnam

Newcastle disease virus (NDV) causes significant economic losses to the poultry industry in Southeast Asia. In the present study, 12 field isolates of NDV were recovered from dead village chickens in Vietnam between 2007 and 2012, and were characterized. All the field isolates were classified as velogenic. Based on the sequence analysis of the F variable region, two distinct genetic groups (Vietnam genetic groups G1 and G2) were recognized. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that all the 12 field isolates fell into the class II genotype VII cluster. Ten of the field isolates, classified as Vietnam genetic group G1, were closely related to VIIh viruses that had been isolated from Indonesia, Malaysia, and Cambodia since the mid-2000s, while the other two field isolates, of Vietnam genetic group G2, clustered with VIId viruses, which were predominantly circulating in China and Far East Asia. Our results indicate that genotype VII viruses, especially VIIh viruses, are predominantly responsible for the recent epizootic of the disease in Vietnam.     

苹果小吉丁虫在陕西省潜在危害性风险分析和管理对策

苹果小吉丁虫是果树危险性蛀干害虫之一,已给国内部分地区的栽植苹果以及新疆的野苹果造成了巨大的损失。目前陕西部分地区已发现苹果小吉丁虫危害,为明确苹果小吉丁虫在陕西省的主要苹果产区的风险程度,以制定科学合理的管理对策。参考国际上有害生物风险分析程序和分析方法,结合苹果小吉丁虫寄主在陕西省的分布情况,对苹果小吉丁虫在陕西省的风险性进行了综合评估。苹果小吉丁虫在陕西省的风险性R值为2.42,该吉丁虫在陕西省属于高度危险性有害生物。针对苹果小吉丁虫在陕西省的高度危险性,提出了加强检疫、监测预防和风险管理等的管理对策。

热空气处理对红富士苹果贮藏品质及其生理指标的影响

采用38℃72h和96h热空气处理红富士苹果,经过16周0℃的冷藏期后,置于货架条件1周。试验结果表明,冷藏期间,与对照组（未经热处理）相比,处理组果实果皮叶绿素含量较低,呼吸强度和乙烯释放量保持较低水平;果实硬度较高,水溶性果胶低,而非水溶性果胶含量较高;可溶性蛋白和热稳定蛋白含量下降缓慢,热稳定蛋白含量在可溶性蛋白中所占比例较高。热空气处理可以较好地保持果肉细胞膜的稳定性,使果实货架期果面底色较黄,固酸比上升,果汁pH值较高,具有较好的外观品质。

2013~2016年广西猪伪狂犬病流行病学调查分析

[目的]全面了解广西猪伪狂犬病毒(PRV)的流行特点,为相关部门制定科学的猪伪狂犬病防控措施提供决策参考.[方法]于2013年6月~2016年8月从广西12个地市不同规模猪场采集疑似猪伪狂犬病阳性组织样品473份和血清样品5041份,通过PCR和ELISA分别对组织样品和血清样品进行PRV病原和野毒抗体检测.[结果]广西地区规模猪场的组织样品和血清样品PRV阳性率分别为26.43%和24.50%,且组织样品PRV病原阳性率与血清样品野毒抗体阳性率基本一致,以2015年的PRV阳性率最低、2016年的PRV阳性率最高.在广西地区一年四季均能检测到PRV,且组织样品的PRV病原阳性率和血清样品的野毒抗体阳性率均以第三季度(秋季)最低,分别为19.80%和14.95%.除了梧州市和防城港市的检测样品未检出PRV外,其他10个地市的检测样品均能检出PRV,说明广西规模猪场普遍存在PRV感染,且以南宁、玉林、北海和桂林等地市较严重.[结论]广西规模猪场普遍存在PRV感染,尤其是2016年PRV阳性率明显上升.因此,要求养猪业发达的地市应加大对PRV的防控力度,实时监控PRV的流行趋势,避免混合感染,并做好净化工作.
