小麦品种慢叶锈抗病性的研究

1982—1984年在温室和田间对3个慢叶锈品种:中引305、中引515、中引709,2个快叶锈品种:无沙八号、纳罗的研究表明,小麦慢叶锈抗病品种具有8个抗病特性:(1)田间发病迟、普遍率增长缓慢,严重率低且发展速度慢;(2)潜伏期较长;(3)侵染频率较低;(4)夏孢子堆较小;(5)菌丝和夏孢子堆面积扩展速度慢;(6)产孢能力较弱;(7)对叶锈菌生理小种特异性不明显;(8)对产量影响不显著。慢叶锈抗病性随植株生长而增强,应用病害发展曲线下面积(AUDPC)的A值比侵染速率r值和冈珀茨方程的k值能更好地表达小麦品种的慢叶锈抗病性。利用温室测定苗期潜伏期、侵染频率和田间发病盛期旗叶的严重率指数可以作为小麦慢叶锈抗病品种的选育指标。     

Conducting carbon wires in ordered, nanometer-sized channels

The encapsulation of graphite-type carbon wires in the regular, 3-nanometer-wide hexagonal channels of the mesoporous host MCM-41 is reported. Acrylonitrile monomers are introduced through vapor or solution transfer and polymerized in the channels with external radical initiators. Pyrolysis of the intrachannel polyacrylonitrile results in filaments whose microwave conductivity is about 10 times that of bulk carbonized polyacrylonitrile. The MCM host plays a key role in ordering the carbon structure, most likely through the parallel alignment of the precursor polymer chains in the channels. The fabrication of stable carbon filaments in ordered, nanometer-sized channels represents an important step toward the development of nanometer electronics.     

Scale of heterogeneity of forage production and winter foraging by elk and bison

The relationship between fine-scale spatial patterns of forage abundance and the feeding patterns of large ungulates is not well known. We compared these patterns for areas grazed in winter by elk and bison in a sagebrush-grassland landscape in northern Yellowstone National Park. At a fine scale, the spatial distribution of mapped feeding stations in 30 m × 30 m sites was found to be random where there were no large patches devoid of vegetation. In areas similar to the mapped sites, the underlying spatial distribution pattern of biomass was also determined to be random. At a broad scale, forage biomass differed among communities across the northern range but forage quality did not. These results suggest that ungulates are feeding randomly within forage patches (fine scale) but may select feeding sites based upon forage abundance at broader, landscape scales. Contrary to what has been suggested in other systems, ungulates were not overmatching at finer scales.     

小麦对条锈病的水平抗病性研究初报

将小麦品种采用随机区组的田间设计种于小种病圃中,以鉴定和测定其水平抗性。根据各个“品种——小种”组合的相对病情指数的方差分析的结果,有些品种,如农大311、西农6028和丰产3号,其品种——小种互作高度显著,被鉴定为具有垂直抗性,另外一些品种,对试验所用的小种并无专化性,并且在大田生产中已显出20多年的持久的中度抗性,初步推测为属水平抗性。在后一类中,有些品种,如平原50,表现为中等反应型,其余则属于呈典型感病的迟锈慢锈类型。在迟锈慢锈品种的病指的对数矫正值(logits)和病圃的锈病强度(以感病对照品种的病指表之)的对数矫正值之间发现了直线回归。

‘Plantibodies’: a flexible approach to design resistance against pathogens

Engineering resistance against various diseases and pests is hampered by the lack of suitable genes. To overcome this problem we started a research program aimed at obtaining resistance by transfecting plants with genes encoding monoclonal antibodies against pathogen specific proteins. The idea is that monoclonal antibodies will inhibit the biological activity of molecules that are essential for the pathogenesis. Potato cyst nematodes are chosen as a model and it is thought that monoclonal antibodies are able to block the function of the saliva proteins of this parasite. These proteins are, among others, responsible for the induction of multinucleate transfer cells upon which the nematode feeds. It is well documented that the ability of antibodies to bind molecules is sufficient to inactivate the function of an antigen and in view of the potential of animals to synthesize antibodies to almost any molecular structure, this strategy should be feasible for a wide range of diseases and pests.Antibodies have several desirable features with regard to protein engineering. The antibody (IgG) is a Y-shaped molecule, in which the domains forming the tips of the arms bind to antigen and those forming the stem are responsible for triggering effector functions (Fc fragments) that eliminate the antigen from the animal. Domains carrying the antigen-binding loops (Fv and Fab fragments) can be used separately from the Fc fragments without loss of affinity. The antigen-binding domains can also be endowed with new properties by fusing them to toxins or enzymes. Antibody engineering is also facilitated by the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). A systematic comparison of the nucleotide sequence of more than 100 antibodies revealed that not only the 3′-ends, but also the 5′-ends of the antibody genes are relatively conserved. We were able to design a small set of primers with restriction sites for forced cloning, which allowed the amplification of genes encoding antibodies specific for the saliva proteins ofGlobodera rostochiensis. Complete heavy and light chain genes as well as single chain Fv fragments (scFv), in which the variable parts of the light (V_L) and heavy chain (V_H) are linked by a peptide, will be transferred to potato plants. A major challenge will be to establish a correct expression of the antibody genes with regard to three dimensional folding, assembly and intracellular location.

水稻品种对稻褐飞虱抗性的研究

水稻品种对褐飞虱的不同生物型反应是不相同的。试验结果证实:(1)褐飞虱若虫在敏感性品种上的生存率显著地高于抗性品种。在TN_1上,无论那种生物型的生存率均很高;而栖息在Mudgo的褐飞虱若虫,其生存率以生物型2的最高,而生物型1与生物型3的均很低,栖息在ASD_7的若虫,以生物型3的生存率最高。(2)褐飞虱在敏感品种上的后代群体密度显著地比抗性品种的大。生活在敏感品种的若虫,发育进度较抗性品种的快,并且身体较重。(3)在敏感品种取食的飞虱,其分泌的蜜露量较抗性品种的多,生物型2取食Mudgo的和生物型3取食ASD_7的均分泌较多的蜜露。上述结果说明了水稻品种抗褐飞虱的机制属抗生性范畴。
