新疆伊犁地区黄土矿物特征与沉积环境

伊犁黄土重矿物组成及石英颗粒表面结构特征分析表明,伊犁黄土不仅为风成沉积,而且黄土沉积环境较黄土高原更为干旱。黄土中复杂的重矿物组成和丰富的片状矿物的存在证明形成黄土的粉尘可能主要来自远离沉积区的中亚荒漠区。     

水稻矮缩病毒对黑尾叶蝉卵巢发育与产卵量的影响

虫传植物病毒须依靠媒介昆虫进行传播和扩散,而植物病毒在媒介昆虫体内的复制和转运会对昆虫产生直接或间接影响.Sinisterra等[1]报道称媒介昆虫携带病毒后寿命缩短、产卵量下降.     

苯醚甲环唑对采后芒果的保鲜研究

通过浸果处理,研究了10%苯醚甲环唑水分散粒剂对采后芒果的防腐保鲜效果的影响。结果表明:经有效成分质量浓度为200和300 mg/L的苯醚甲环唑处理后,经常温(25℃)和低温(13℃)贮藏的芒果均表现出发病率降低、好果率增加、转黄时间被推迟及果实失重率下降的现象;处理组芒果硬度、可溶性固形物、总糖、可滴定酸及VC的含量均明显高于对照,表明使用10%苯醚甲环唑水分散粒剂进行芒果保鲜处理,除可明显延长芒果贮藏时间并提高贮藏保鲜效果外,还能较好地保持果实的风味和营养品质。其中,200 mg/L浓度处理的芒果防腐保鲜效果显著好于300 mg/L的处理。     

Evaluation of the durability of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">Barley yellow dwarf virus</Emphasis>-resistant <Emphasis Type="Italic">Zhong ZH</Emphasis> and <Emphasis Type="Italic">TC14</Emphasis> wheat lines

Serial passage experiments (SPE) of a Barley yellow dwarf virus-PAV (BYDV-PAV) isolate were performed on Zhong ZH and TC14 wheat lines to evaluate the durability of their resistance to BYDV. At different passage numbers (from the 2nd to the 114th), biological properties of the produced isolates were recorded either by monitoring infection percentages and virus titers of the first 3 weeks of viral infection or by measuring their impact on yield components. Statistical analyses using the area under pathogen progress curves and the area under concentration progress curves demonstrated that these two resistant lines induce, after only a few passages, a selection of variant(s) with significantly modified infection abilities. Isolates resulting from SPE performed on these lines induced important decreases of yield components. These results indicate that the use of Zhong ZH and TC14 lines in BYDV-resistant breeding programmes should be approached with caution.     

Variability in response to toosendanin in a laboratory colony of<Emphasis Type="Italic">Trichoplusia ni</Emphasis>

Laboratory rearing of insects for scientific research ensures a constant supply of insects. However, laboratory colonies may diverge genetically and/or phenotypically from wild populations due to selection pressures in their artificial environment. This study examined how variation in a colony ofTrichoplusia ni influenced reproducibility over time of bioassays of toosendanin (a limonoid extracted from the bark ofMelia azedarach). In four of five experiments insect growth was reduced significantly (P=0.05) by the presence of toosendanin in the diet. The fifth experiment showed the same trend, but the effect was not significant. Mean larval mass of both control and treated insects also varied greatly among experiments. The considerable variability observed in this population highlights the importance of replicating experiments in time, and not just space, to confirm reproducibility of treatment effects. http://www.phytoparasitica.org posting Jan. 23, 2007.     

三叶斑潜蝇热激蛋白Hsp90基因的克隆及其在高温胁迫下的表达分析

采用RT-PCR及RACE技术克隆了三叶斑潜蝇Hsp90基因全长cDNA序列,并用实时定量RT-PCR的方法检测其在不同发育阶段受到高温胁迫后的表达水平。该基因的cDNA序列全长2 408 bp,开放阅读框为2 145 bp,编码714个氨基酸;5′非编码区为151 bp,3′非编码区为112 bp。该基因推导的氨基酸序列与其他昆虫同源序列比较有很高的相似性（80%~99%）。聚类分析结果显示三叶斑潜蝇与美洲斑潜蝇和南美斑潜蝇的亲缘关系最近。实时荧光定量PCR检测结果表明三叶斑潜蝇Hsp90基因的表达受到热胁迫的诱导,诱导3龄幼虫最大表达量的温度比诱导其他发育阶段的温度低,在43 ℃时预蛹和蛹的表达量在整个生命周期中最高,在检测的高温胁迫条件下,雄虫比雌虫的表达量更高。该结果为阐明三叶斑潜蝇胁迫耐受能力及其对其他潜蝇种群的取代机制奠定了分子基础。     

核盘菌对菌核净的抗药性机制初探

经药剂筛选获得对菌核净不同表型的核盘菌(Sclerotinia sclerotiorum ) 抗药性突变体。与敏感亲本菌株相比, 抗药突变体MN 61 (MR ) 和MN 91 (HR) 在含1% 和8% 葡萄糖的PDA 上生长受到抑制,MN 113 (LR) 只对1% 葡萄糖敏感。通过测定抗药突变体MN 61 和野生敏感菌株PN 061 的电导率, 发现抗药突变体能在更短的时间里渗出更多的电解质。抗药突变体苯丙氨酸解氨酶活性比敏感亲本菌株高出1 倍以上, 当用不同浓度菌核净处理或饥饿处理时, 抗药突变体和敏感亲本菌株PAL 活性均上升, 但抗药突变体的酶活始终高于敏感亲本菌株。

Multi-scale study of bird species distribution and of their response to vegetation change: a Mediterranean example

Land use changes operate at different scales. They trigger a cascade of effects that simultaneously modify the composition or structure of the landscape and of the local vegetation. Mobil animals, and birds in particular, can respond quickly to such multi-scalar changes. We took advantage of a long term study on the response of songbirds to land-use changes on four Mediterranean islands in Corsica and Sardinia to explore the benefits of a multi-scale analysis of the relationships between songbird distribution, vegetation structure and landscape dynamics. Field data and aerial photographs were used to describe the vegetation at three different scales. Birds were censused by point counts. We used statistical variance decomposition to study how bird distribution and vegetation at various scales were linked. We analysed multi-scale vegetation changes (floristic composition, plot vegetation type, and landscape structure) and their consequences on bird distribution with multivariate and non-parametrical tests. The distribution of most species was linked to at least two spatial scales. The weight of a given scale was consistent with life-history traits for species whose biology was well-known. In the examples studied, vegetation composition, vegetation type and landscape changes that resulted from land abandonment negatively affected birds depending on open or heterogeneous areas. Our results emphasize that multi-scale analyses can greatly enhance our understanding of bird distribution and of their changes. Management of these populations should take into account measures at various spatial scales depending on the sensitivity of the species.     

柑桔授粉处理和单性结实子房（幼果）内源IAA,ABA和ZT含量的变化

广橙在授粉后３天内即完成受精，与未授粉子房相比，授粉子房迅速膨大，授粉处理可使内源ＩＡＡ、ＡＢＡ和ＺＴ水平急剧上升，尤其是在处理后的前３天。至第４天趋平缓。以每子房ｎｇ含量计，至处理后第３天，ＩＡＡ、ＡＢＡ和ＺＴ含量分别是处理开始时的６．８、５．２和４．１倍，而未授粉的分别为２．５、２．６和１．２倍，这种变化与子房（幼果）的发育密切相关。试验还分析了广橙授粉处理与内源激素平衡关系，发现授粉处理ＡＢ
