基因处理后棉籽出棉花

美国得克萨斯大学分子遗传学及微生物学教授马尔科姆·布朗及研究生荣峰 (音 )等人组成的研究小组 ,通过对棉花种子进行基因工程处理 ,使棉籽直接长出了棉花纤维。这一技术 ,可省去烦琐的棉株生长、采摘棉桃和去除棉籽的过程。该研究小组的这一成果 ,已在实验室里获得成功。他们把从棉桃中取出的棉种 ,作基因工程处理好 ,撒在专门介质的表面上 ,在以后的 5天内 ,棉种的表面就会长出芽来。而这些芽 ,实际上都是棉花小纤维 ,不过 ,它的独特细胞 ,看起来特别像木质细胞 ,而不太像棉花细胞。是基因工程处理 ,促发了一些细胞组织结构 ,并改变了生…     

台湾中部地区短延时降雨强度初步探讨

台湾地区在经历1999年的921地震后,山坡地土体松动严重,仅仅短延时的降雨即有机会引起土石流的发生,而近年微小的降雨条件下即有可能触动土石流发生,因此将台湾中部地区14个测站所测得的台风降雨资料,依照台风降雨强度进行水文频率分析,分析方法采用对数常态分布法、极端值第一类分布法、皮尔逊第三类分布法及对数皮尔逊第三类分布法等4种方法,计算短延时重现期距并绘成降雨强度-延时-频率之分析曲线,再整合各区域土石流潜势溪流的分布情况,分析台风降雨对台湾中部地区所造成之影响.     

Analysis of Sediment Source of Watershed in Western Shanxi of the Loess Plateau

1 INTRODUCTIONThe Loess Plateau is the most drastic soil erosion regionin China, with the most severe water erosion. Thedistribution of types and intensity of erosion not onlyhave regional diversity but also have perpendicularvariation. In the small watershed, there are differencesin erosion characters among its upper, middle and lowerreaches. It is very significant for taking rationalmeasures of soil and water conservation and forpreventing soil and water loss to analyze the relationbe…     

Strategic Trend of Chinese Urban Forestry Development

1 STRATEGY BACKGROUND1.1 Quickening of Urbanization ProcessSince the reform and opening-up in China in 1978,economic community developed rapidly. By the endof 2003, GDP has exceeded $1 000 billion. With therapid development of Chinese economy, residentialmode focusing on rural population is now changing,urbanization process is quickening, traditional cityscale is expanding into metropolis (Tianjin, Xi’an,Chengdu, Chongqing, etc.) or super cities (Beijing,Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc.…     

Construction of cDNA Library from Populus euphratica

1 Introduction Populus euphratica is a salt tolerant tree species, which is mainly distributed in the desert regions in northwest China (Wei 1993). Moreover, it is the only large tree species, which can survive and develop into forest in these arid and saline-alkali areas. P. euphratica forest plays a very important role in restraining the expansion of desert, maintaining ecological environment in west China, protecting the biological diversity and raising the local people抯 living standard…     

Ultrastructural and Extracellular Protein Changes in Cell Suspension Cultures of Populus euphratica Associated with Low Temperature-induced Cold Acclimation

Populus euphratica Olive is the only tree species that can grow in the saline land and also survive cold winters in northwest China, and it plays a very important role in stabilizing the vulnerable ecosystem there. A cell suspension culture was initiated from callus derived from plantlets of Populus euphratica. Cold acclimation was induced (LT50 of-17.5 ℃) in cell suspension at 4-5 ℃ in the dark for 30 days and the freezing tolerance increased from LT50 of-12.5 ℃ in nonacclimated cells to LT50 of-17.5 ℃ in cold-acclimated cells. Microvacuolation, cytoplasmic augmentation and accumulation of starch granules were observed in cells that were cold-acclimated by exposure to low temperatures. Several qualitative and quantitative changes in proteins were noted during cold acclimation. Antibodies to carrot extracellular (apoplastic) 36 kD antifreeze protein did not cross react on immunoelectroblots with extracellular proteins in cell suspension culture medium of Populus euphratica, indicating no common epitopes in the carrot 36 kD antifreeze protein and P euphratica extracellular proteins. The relationship of these changes to cold acclimation in Populus euphratica cell cultures was discussed.     

Analysis on Schistosomiasis Occurrence And Preventive Measures in Three Gorges Reservoir

Recently, due to more flooding, schistosomiasis is in expanding tendency in some areas. With Three Gorges Engineering progress, schistosomiasis will occurr potentially in Three Gorges reservoir. In order to control the disease, some methods must be applied, e.g. chemicals, biological measures. To some extent every way has its specific effect. However, the vital way is improving the environment and reducing the amount of snails. One of the effective ways is conducting forestry ecological engineering that focuses on snail control and schistosomiasis prevention. The practical ways cover such as pollution controlling, ditches surface hardening. Especially for water-level-fluctuation zone, conducting forestry ecological engineering to improve environment to prevent snails＇ propagation is significant and vital. By operating the project environment could be greatly improved and people＇s living conditions would be bettered.

我所茶树杂种优势利用研究进展与展望

湖南省茶叶研究所茶树杂交育种研究始于20世纪七十年代末。1978～1987年广泛地进行了茶树亚种、变种间杂交,少量变种内品种间杂交。研究了杂交授粉技术、茶树杂交亲和性、茶树的孕性及F1遗传窥测,选育出一批优质绿、红茶茶树新品种。展望提出了21世纪茶树杂交育种在选育无性系品种的同时,开展双无性系组合选配等方面的研究。
