利用F2和F3群体定位水稻粒形和千粒重QTL

水稻籽粒的粒长、粒宽和粒厚共同塑成了水稻粒形,并决定水稻籽粒的千粒重及外观品质,而千粒重是决定水稻产量三要素之一。本研究以籼型温敏核不育系广占63-4S为母本,以大粒籼稻TGMS29为父本杂交衍生的F2和F3群体,对影响水稻籽粒粒形和千粒重的数量性状位点(quantitative trait loci, QTL)进行定位。2014年和2015年检测到影响籽粒粒长的QTL 5个,粒宽QTL 8个,粒厚的QTL 4个,千粒重QTL 4个。其中,两年重复检测到2个粒长QTL,分别位于第1染色体RM1和RM490之间,可解释的表型变异为21.3%、22%,和第2染色体RM240和RM208之间,可解释的表型变异为12.8%、15.7%。两年均被检测到的粒宽QTL位于第3染色体RM251和RM571之间,可解释表型变异分别为53.60%、55.00%。两年均被检测到的千粒重QTL位于第1染色体RM220和RM1之间,可解释表型变异分别为15.1%、15.4%。这些QTLs的鉴定为稻米粒形和千粒重的遗传研究提供了帮助,也为稻米品质和产量的改良提供了宝贵的基因资源。

钾硅钙微孔矿物肥对水稻重金属镉的降阻效果研究

为了探明钾硅钙微孔矿物肥对污染稻田土壤重金属镉(Cd)有效性的影响,弄清其对稻谷中Cd含量的降低效果。采用田间小区试验和室内分析测定方法进行研究,试验设5个处理,处理1:对照(CK),常规施肥(40%复合肥450 kg/hm2);处理2:钾硅钙微孔矿物肥600 kg/hm2+常规施肥;处理3:钾硅钙微孔矿物肥750 kg/hm2+常规施肥;处理4:钾硅钙微孔矿物肥1125 kg/hm2+常规施肥;处理5:钾硅钙微孔矿物肥1425 kg/hm2+常规施肥。结果表明:钾硅钙微孔矿物肥可以显著提高水稻穗总粒数、穗实粒数和结实率,提高水稻产量,增产率达到7.5%~16.0%;增加土壤碱解氮、有效磷和速效钾含量,提高土壤pH值,降低土壤有效Cd含量,从而降低稻谷Cd的积累,最大降低稻谷Cd含量达到38.6%。钾硅钙微孔矿物肥要达到降阻水稻重金属Cd的最佳效果,施用量不能低于1425 kg/hm2。

Shifting concepts of urban spatial heterogeneity and their implications for sustainability

Context

Spatial heterogeneity has myriad influences on ecosystem processes, ecosystem services, and thus the sustainability of urban areas. It acts as a medium for urban design, planning, and management to determine how processes affecting sustainability can operate and interact. Therefore, how spatial heterogeneity is conceptualized and measured in cities is crucial for enhancing sustainability.

Objectives

We show that the two most commonly used, but contrasting paradigms of urban ecology, ecology IN versus ecology OF the city, determine how spatial heterogeneity is thought of and used in different ways. We identify the key implications of these theoretical contrasts for the practice and assessment of sustainability in urban areas.

Methods

We review and compare the different ways in which ecology IN versus ecology OF the city affect how to conceptualize, model and map urban spatial heterogeneity. We present a new framework to guide the comparison of spatial heterogeneity under the two paradigms.

Results and conclusion

The integrative nature of this new framework becomes apparent under the ecology OF the city paradigm, because it recognizes the hybrid social and bioecological nature of heterogeneity in urban ecosystems. The hybrid approach to patchiness resonates with the three pillars of sustainability—environment, society, and economy. We exemplify how the more comprehensive and integrated framework of spatial heterogeneity under the ecology OF the city paradigm (1) supports more effective measurement and integration of the three components of sustainability, (2) improves management of heterogeneous urban ecosystems, and (3) satisfies calls for improved ecological tools to support urban ecosystem design.

     

Effects of CENP-W down-regulation on human glioma U87 cells

AIM: To study the effect of centromere protein W (CENP-W) down-regulation on human glioma U87 cells.METHODS: Small interfering RNA (siRNA) was used to inhibit the expression of CENP-W in the U87 cells. The interference effect of siRNA was evaluated by RT-qPCR and Western blot. The proliferation of the cells was analyzed by MTT assay, BrdU staining and colony formation experiment. Transwell chamber assay was used to detect the invasion ability of the cells. The cell migration ability was measured by a scratch test. The changes of the cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry.RESULTS: The results of MTT assay, colony formation experiment and BrdU staining showed that the cell proliferation and colony formation abilities in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group and negative control group. The results of Transwell and scratch experiments showed that the migration and invasion abilities in experimental group were weaker than those in blank control group and negative control group. The results of flow cytometry analysis showed that the cell cycle distribution in experimental group was arrested in G₀/G₁ phase. The percentage of apoptotic cells in experimental group was higher than that in control group (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: Down-regulation of CENP-W expression inhibits the proliferation, migration and invasion of human glioma cells and promotes the apoptosis of the cells, suggesting that CENP-W may be a potential target of gene therapy for human glioma.

为探究秋海棠的优良栽培基质及草坪草的修剪废弃物替代泥炭作为基质的可能性,以栽培广泛的四季秋海棠幼苗为试材,在上海辰山植物园的栽培大棚中进行盆栽试验。分别选用T1(泥炭∶珍珠岩=1∶1)、T2(泥炭∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1)、T3(玉米秆∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1)、T4(玉米秆∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=2∶1∶1)、T5(草秆∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1)、T6(草秆∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=2∶1∶1)、T7(蛭石∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1)和T8(蛭石∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=2∶1∶1)8种混合基质,比较四季秋海棠的生长表现差异。结果表明:四季秋海棠在8种栽培基质中,上盆后30~60d时茎均显著增大,60~90d时株高、叶数和叶面积增加最多。最佳综合表现为T6处理,在该基质中,分枝数、叶片厚度、开花数、地上部分鲜干质量和相对叶绿素含量均最大。综合评价分析,基质用草秆∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=2∶1∶1替换泥炭,可满足四季秋海棠生长,因此,修剪后的草坪草废弃物可替换泥炭用于秋海棠的无土栽培基质。
