干旱条件下墨西哥中部高地不同耕作措施和农作物残留物管理对玉米产量和净收益的影响

In the subtropical highlands of Central Mexico, where the main crop is maize （Zea mays）, the conventional practice （CP） involves tillage, monoculture and residue removal, leading to soil degradation and unsustainable use of natural resources and agricultural inputs. Conservation agriculture （CA） has been proposed as a viable alternative in the region, based on reduction in tillage, retention of adequate levels of crop residues and soil surface cover and use of crop rotation. This study began in 2009 when the highlands of Central Mexico suffered from a prolonged drought during vegetative maize growth in July-August, providing an opportunity for the on-farm comparison of CA with CP under severe drought conditions which 21 climate change models projected to become more frequent. Under dry conditions, CA resulted in higher yields and net returns per hectare as early as the first and second years after adoption by farmers. As an average of 27 plots under farmers＇ management in 2009, the maize yields were 26% higher under CA （6.3 t ha-1） than under CP （5.0 t ha-l）. 2010 was close to a normal year in terms of rainfall so yields were higher than in 2009 for both practices; in addition, the yield difference between the practices was reduced to 19% （6.8 t ha-1 for CA vs. 5.7 t ha-1 for CP）. When all the 2009 and 2010 observations were analyzed in a modified stability analysis, CA had an overall positive effect of 3 838 Mexican Pesos ha-1 （320 $US ha-1） on net return and 1.3 t ha-1 on yield. After only one to two years of adoption by farmers on their fields, CA had higher yields and net returns under dry conditions that were even drier than those predicted by the analyzed 21 climate change models under a climate change scenario, emission scenario A2.     

Flash X-ray Microscopy

Soft x-ray contact microscopy, utilizing single-shot exposures of approximately 60 nanoseconds duration in polymethyl methacrylate, has been realized with a resolution of 300 angstroms. The radiation spectrum is intense in the "window" between 23 and 44 angstroms where water is transparent compared to biological materials, and therefore permits viewing of wet samples.

羌塘自然保护区湖泊变化及其原因分析

选取西藏羌塘自然保护区MSS、TM、ETM+数据和1[JP18]∶[JP]100 000地形图,以85° E为中心线,将研究区划分为东西两部分,解译该区域面积大于1 km2的所有湖泊。结果表明：1975-1990年,羌塘自然保护区湖泊呈退缩状态,湖泊个数由388个减少为277个,面积由6 603.3 km²减少到5 539.7 km²,面积减少达16.1%;2005年,湖泊个数比1990年增加164个,达441个,湖泊总面积9 652.2 km²,比1990年增加4 112.5 km²,增幅74.2%。在区域上,表现为东部变化幅度大于西部。同时,重点分析了研究区附近的狮泉河、改则、班戈、申扎、那曲、安多6个气象站1978-2007年的数据。结果显示：6个代表气象站年平均气温、年平均最高气温、年降水量均呈上升趋势,其中东部上升幅度较大,西部变化不明显;年蒸发量呈减少趋势。降水是影响湖泊变化最主要的因素。

旱稻渗入系拔节期根系性状QTL定位

研究稻作抗旱的根系特征及其遗传机理,在作物育种程序上改良作物根系性状,提高作物抗旱性,为水旱稻杂交选育抗旱高产品种提供理论依据。本研究利用187个SSR标记和1套具有180个家系的旱稻渗入系群体BC3F7构建遗传连锁图,采用单标记分析法,对拔节期根系的6个性状(最长根长、粗根数、总根数、平均最粗根粗、根干重、总干重)进行QTL定位。拔节期检测到QTL共56个,其中影响上述6个性状的QTL数目分别是9、10、3、12、9和13,其总贡献率分别为43%、44%、19%、70%、39%和68%。另外,在检测到的QTL中除与总根数有关的有2个来自毫格劳的等位基因降低性状值以外,其位点毫格劳的等位基因均增加性状值。92.8%的渗入位点对以沈农265为遗传背景的渗入系的根系6个性状有促进作用;定位到的影响不同根系性状的QTL多数成簇排列;在RM1261附近定位到影响3个性状的QTL,推测是一个与根系抗旱性状密切相关的基因区域。
