The roles of calving migration and climate change in the formation of the weak genetic structure in the Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii)

Geographical barriers and distance can reduce gene exchange among animals, resulting in genetic divergence of geographically isolated populations. The Tibetan antelope (Pantholops hodgsonii) has a geographical range of approximately 1600 km across the Qinghai–Tibet Plateau, which comprises a series of tall mountains and big rivers. However, previous studies indicate that there is little genetic differentiation among their geographically delineated populations. To better understand the genetic structure of P. hodgsonii populations, we collected 145 samples from the 3 major calving regions, taking into consideration their various calving grounds and migration routes. We used a combination of mitochondrial sequences (Cyt b, ATPase, D‐loop and COX I) to investigate the genetic structure and the evolutionary divergence of the populations. Significant, albeit weak, genetic differentiation was detected among the 3 geographical populations. Analysis of the genetic divergence process revealed that the animals gradually entered a period of rapid genetic differentiation approximately 60 000 years ago. The calving migration of P. hodgsonii cannot be the main cause of their weak genetic structure because this cannot fully homogenize the genetic pool. Instead, the geological and climatic events as well as the coupling vegetation succession process during this period have been suggested to greatly contribute to the genetic structure and the expansion of genetic diversity.     

降钙素基因相关肽对猪小肠上皮细胞钠离子依赖型Ⅱb磷转运蛋白表达及磷吸收的影响

本试验旨在研究不同浓度降钙素基因相关肽(CGRP)对猪小肠上皮细胞钠离子依赖型Ⅱb磷转运蛋白(NaPi-Ⅱb)表达和磷吸收的影响.选用第3～8代猪小肠上皮细胞进行试验,按单因素试验设计,将试验细胞分为1个对照组和5个CGRP(1×10-11～1×10-7 mmol/L)试验组,每组设6个重复.用4-甲基偶氮唑盐(MTT)法测定细胞生长速度,采用比色法测定CGRP干预24 h后细胞上清液磷含量,用RT-PCR法检测NaPi-Ⅱb mRNA相对表达量,以及蛋白质印迹(Western blot)法检测NaPi-Ⅱb蛋白表达.结果表明:与对照组相比,不同浓度CGRP对细胞生长没有显著影响(P＞0.05);各试验组均极显著或显著地促进了磷的吸收和NaPi-ⅡbmRNA的相对表达量(P＜0.01或P＜0.05);除1×10-10 mmol/L组外均显著提高了NaPi-Ⅱb蛋白的表达(P＜0.05).研究结果表明,CGRP通过诱导小肠上皮细胞中NaPi-Ⅱb的表达促进细胞磷的吸收,其中以1×10-9、1×10-8 mmol/L浓度的CGRP促进效果较为显著.

母乳中VA与婴幼儿健康研究进展

母乳中含有多种VA,如视黄醇、β-胡萝卜素、β-隐黄质、α-胡萝卜素、番茄红素及叶黄素等,且母乳初乳、过渡乳和成熟乳中VA的含量不同,但总体上VA含量随着泌乳期的延长而降低。如母乳中含量最高的VA视黄醇,其在初乳、过渡乳、成熟乳中的含量分别为478～1 920、440～1 270、178～825μg/L。母乳中VA含量除受泌乳时间影响外,还与地域、乳母膳食及母乳脂肪含量等有关。本文重点介绍不同国家/地区母乳中VA的种类、含量、影响因素及其健康作用（视觉健康、免疫健康和生长发育等）,以期为婴幼儿配方乳粉的发展提供参考。

Effect of three insect-resistant maizes expressing Cry1Ie,Cry1Ab/Cry2Aj and Cry1Ab on the growth and development of armyworm Mythimna separata(Walker)

Three transgenic maize events(IE09 S034, Shuangkang 12–5 and C0030.3.5) produced Cry1 Ie, Cry1 Ab/Cry2 Aj and G10-EPSPS, Cry1 Ab and EPSPS, respectively, all of which target the Asian corn borer. The oriental armyworm Mythimna separata(Walker) is the secondary target. In this study, the effects of the three Bt maizes on the development and survival of armyworm were studied. The results showed that IE09 S034 had insecticidal activity against 1 st instar larvae, and the survival rate of armyworm fed with Bt maize for 10 days was 46.2%, significantly lower than that of the control. The larvae at 3 rd–6 th instar were more tolerant of the Bt toxin than the early instar larvae. However, Shuangkang 12-5 had good insecticidal activity against 1 st–5 th instar larvae. The mortality was nearly 100% when the larvae were fed with Shuangkang 12-5 before 3 rd instar, and the toxin had quick-acting efficacy. This event significantly inhibited the development of armyworm; that is, the larval duration of the 3 rd and 4 th instar larvae fed with Shuangkang 12-5 was prolonged by 4.5 and 3.0 days, respectively. The pupal weight and egg number were also significantly lower than those of the control. For C0030.3.5, it could control 1 st–5 th instar larvae effectively. The mortality rates were all over 50% if 1 st–3 rd larvae were fed with this event. The pupal weight of 4 th–6 th instar larvae fed with Bt maize were only 53.9, 56.8 and 54.6%, respectively, compared to that of the control. The number of eggs laid was significantly less than the control. The results indicate that all three transgenic maize events exhibit the potential to provide effective control of early instar larvae of armyworm, which can be commercialized in future to control lepidoptera pests such as Asian corn borer and armyworm.     

蛋鸡的光照管理

1光照对蛋鸡的作用原理光照对鸡的作用有两个方面:①促进生殖腺多种激素的作用;②通过光照周期循环作用使鸡体内所有机能的固有节律与明暗同步。就是说,光照对鸡的作用是同步信号作用和刺激作用。刺激作用的效果表现为开产日龄的控制和产蛋率的变化;而同步信号作用效果则表现为对排卵和产蛋时间的制约。
