Paraphoma root rot of alfalfa (Medicago sativa) in Inner Mongolia,China

Root rot symptoms were observed in fields of alfalfa in Chifeng city, Inner Mongolia, China in 2016. Disease incidences of seven alfalfa varieties planted in 2014 ranged from 56% to 95%, while incidence of Gongnong No. 1 planted in 2016 was 8%, 31% and 76% in 2016, 2017 and 2018, respectively. Paraphoma isolates were consistently recovered from black necrotic root tissues of diseased plants with a frequency of 77.1%. Based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis of rDNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS), elongation factor 1-α (EF1-α) and β-tubulin (TUB), this fungus was identified as Paraphoma radicina. Glasshouse pathogenicity experiments showed that P. radicina significantly reduced above- and below-ground biomass of alfalfa plants 2 months after inoculation. Paraphoma radicina infected 70% of the plants inoculated with a root dip in conidia, and these symptoms were consistent with the symptoms in the field. Paraphoma radicina was successfully reisolated from disease roots of the inoculated alfalfa plants. This is the first report of P. radicina as the causal agent of alfalfa root rot in China.

江苏省扬泰地区犬细小病毒分子流行病学调查

犬细小病毒（CPV）自1978年被首次分离到以来,已由CPV-2演化出CPV-2a、CPV-2b和CPV-2c 3种新抗原型。为了解江苏省扬泰地区的CPV分子特征和基因型,2015年5月至2016年12月在扬州和泰州地区宠物医院,根据患病犬临床症状以及CPV快速检测试纸条初步诊断结果,收集可疑病例的肛门棉拭子或粪便作为检测样品,扩增样本中CPV的VP2基因片段并对扩增产物进行测序和分析。结果显示：在48份样品中,4份被鉴定为CPV-2型,24份被鉴定为CPV-2a型,20份被鉴定为CPV-2b型,并未发现CPV-2c型。结果表明,该期间CPV-2a 型与CPV-2b型成为扬泰州地区的优势基因型,需开展这些新基因型的深入研究和防控。     

保护性耕作条件下河北粮食作物植物保护新问题和治理对策

保护性耕作是相对于传统翻耕的一种新型耕作技术,已在我国北方大面积推广应用。近年来随着新的耕作方式的实施我国河北省小麦全蚀病等土传性病害发生程度加重,发生范围扩大;小麦赤霉病等南方性病害向河北蔓延;农田草害加重;次要病虫害上升为主要病虫害等。本文对保护性耕作条件下,粮食作物上出现的新的植物保护问题进行了综述,并对治理对策进行了探讨。     

甘肃第四纪气候期划分

第四纪时期气候变化是由冷和暖及干和湿组成的。冷和暖及干和湿是相对的，是呈循环变化的，是有强、弱之分和持续时间长短不同的。本文根据第四纪地层中植物孢粉和ＣａＣＯ３的含量及岩石风化系数、黄土中古土壤、第四纪泥炭的造炭期等资料，通过分析研究，用比拟方法确定第四纪气候期的性质，用冷和暖及干和湿作为第四纪气候期划分的尺度。将第四纪气候期划分为四次温暖期、五次寒冷期、一次冷热频繁交替期。     

屠宰生猪的心，肝，肺检验初探

宰后检验是整个肉品卫生检验工作中的重要环节，是宰前检疫的继续和补充。“四部”制定的《肉品卫生检验试行规程》和国家国内贸易局制定的《肉品品质检验规程》都明确规定必须进行心、肝、肺检验，它是宰后检验的重要组成部分和主要着眼点之一。这些卖质器官的检验可以作为我们综合判检的主要依据。另外，我国广大人民群众比较喜食内脏器官，这更要求我们对心、肝、肺进行严格的检验，防止食肉中毒，防止畜禽疫病传播，防止人畜共患传染病。１　心脏ｌ．１心脏检验　四部规程规定“检查心包及心肌并沿动脉管剖检心室及心内膜，同时注意血液…     

一例牙鲆淋巴囊肿病例的诊断及病毒MCP基因遗传进化分析

2019年1月,山东省某牙鲆鱼场出现疑似淋巴囊肿病例。患病鱼体表长有灰白色菜花样瘤状物,死亡率超过30%,给养殖场造成了较为严重的经济损失。为确定发病原因,对该鱼场病死鱼进行了病理组织学诊断和病毒检测,并对病毒MCP基因进行了序列测定及遗传变异分析。结果显示：眼观及组织学病变符合淋巴囊肿病的病变特征;所检测到的病毒与选定的参考毒株核苷酸和氨基酸同源性分别为78.7%~99.9%和86.8%~100%。MCP基因遗传进化分析显示,检测到的病毒与LCDV-C、JF00Kuma、JF03Yoshi、JF03GunNeA、JF、LCDV-K1等毒株同属于淋巴囊肿病毒基因II型,且与我国分离株LCDV-C有较高的同源性。经综合诊断,确定该流行病由淋巴囊肿病毒基因II型所致。该研究为该病的综合诊断及流行病学调查提供了新资料,为下一步进行该病毒相关分子生物学研究以及疫苗制备等提供了理论依据。     

Polyphenols in Eucalyptus leaves improved the egg and meat qualities and protected against ethanol‐induced oxidative damage in laying hens

Polyphenols in Eucalyptus leaves (PE) were value resources due to various pharmacological activities, but data on the effect on laying hens are very scare. This study was conducted to determine the effect of PE on the laying performance, egg traits, meat quality, antioxidant status and liver tissues of laying hens. One hundred and twenty 256‐day‐old Yueqinhuang laying hens were randomly assigned to four treatment groups (different levels of PE at 0, 0.5, 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg diet) for 63 days with 15 replicates per group. Addition of 0.8 g/kg PE not only improved the egg trait by increasing the eggshell thickness and decreasing MDA production and cholesterol content in the egg yolk, but also significantly enhanced meat quality of hens, as suggested by the increase pH_45 min (p < .01) and a* value, and decrease drip loss rate (p < .01). Meanwhile, under acute ethanol‐induced oxidative damage condition, supplementation of 0.8 g/kg PE enhanced the serum antioxidant status by increasing enzymatic activities (GSH‐PX, T‐SOD, T‐AOC), inhibited oxidative damage and provided protective effect to liver tissue. In conclusion, addition of 0.8 g/kg PE not only improved the egg traits and meat quality without obvious adverse effects, but also increased the serum antioxidant status of the hens and protected their liver tissue from ethanol‐induced oxidative damage. This study indicated that PE could be utilized as an effective feed additive for laying hens to improve health performance and egg traits.     

Inhibition of porcine circovirus type 1 and type 2 production in PK-15 cells by small interfering RNAs targeting the Rep gene

Porcine circovirus type 1 (PCV1) and type 2 (PCV2) are two genotypes of porcine circovirus. Both of them are presumed to be widespread in the swine population. Currently, there is no specific treatment for their infections. RNA interference (RNAi) is a sequence-specific RNA degradation mechanism mediated by small interfering RNA (siRNA), which represents a possible therapeutic application for the treatment of viral infections. In this study, three siRNA expression plasmids (pS-RepA, pS-RepB and pS-RepC) were generated to target three different coding regions of the Rep protein (Rep) of PCV. These siRNAs were used to inhibit PCV production in a porcine kidney cell line, PK-15 cells. Our results revealed that Rep gene expression was inhibited by pS-RepA, pS-RepB and pS-RepC to different degrees. Moreover, our study also showed that the production of PCV1 and PCV2 was reduced by these siRNAs. pS-RepC, which targets the middle region of Rep gene, proved to be the most efficient siRNA for inhibition of Rep expression and viral production. Taken together, our data suggest that RNAi could be investigated as a potential treatment for PCV infection.
