丛枝菌根真菌诱导玉米根系形态变化及其机理

以高油115和正大619为实验材料,分别通过盆栽和田间试验研究接种摩西球囊霉和地表球囊霉对玉米根系形态和根系内源生长素含量的影响。结果表明,玉米形成菌根后根系形态明显改变,根条数显著多于对照,并且接种处理与对照间的差异随菌根侵染率的上升而加大,差异极显著。生长60 d时,有菌根的玉米单株总根长度为788.61 cm,根系重量达8.26 g,均显著高于无菌根的对照。根系生长素含量随菌根侵染率上升而增加,并且显著高于不接种的对照。丛枝菌根真菌侵染可以促使玉米根内生长素含量上升,根条数增多,增加吸收面积,促进玉米生长。     

Study of cystine urinary calculi in dogs.

The composition and structure of 48 canine cystine urinary stones were determined by infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and electron dispersive X-ray analysis. The infrared analysis showed that about 45% of the specimens were composed of pure cystine. The remainder also contained calcium oxalate (mono and/or dihydrate), magnesium ammonium phosphate hexadydrate (struvite), calcium hydrogen phosphate dihydrate (brushite) and complex urates (ammonium, ammonium potassium and/or potassium enriched ammonium urate). The infrared study of several samples heated at 620 degrees C and 750 degrees C revealed the presence of apatitic calcium phosphate. This compound was difficult to detect in the spectrum of the original samples due to the small proportion of phosphate contained in the calculi and to band overlapping. The examination of a series of selected samples by means of scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray analysis complemented the infrared results.     

Use of the ARC/INFO GIS to study the distribution of Lyme disease ticks in an Illinois county

Lyme disease is a bacterial disease of humans and domestic animals transmitted primarily through the bite of the deer tick, Ixodes dammini. Using the ARC/INFO geographic information system (GIS), the distribution of tick vectors can be associated simultaneously with a large number of environmental, biological and demographic factors. The Illinois GIS was used to study the associations of soil type, potential vegetation cover and distance from waterways with tick distributions, and to compare the dispersion patterns of tick-infested and uninfested deer in one northwestern Illinois county. Tick presence was associated with sandy soils, wooded vegetation, and proximity to rivers. Infested deer were clustered around an endemic focus I. dammini, while uninfested deer showed no such clustering. Changes in the spatial distribution of ticks over two years and likely sites for further establishment of ticks were also studied.     

DNA Barcoding:An Effective Tool for Species Identification of Lepidopteran Oak Pests

[Objective] The paper was to improve the efficiency and accuracy of early forecast of Lepidopteran oak-infesting pests.[Method] DNA barcoding technique was established for quick species identification using mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase subunit Ⅰ(COⅠ) as the standard gene.This barcoding technique was used to amplify and sequence genomic DNA samples from eggs and pupae of 11 species of Lepidopteran pests collected from oak.[Result] The DNA barcoding standard genes of 594-708 bp were determined from eggs and pupae of Lepidopteran insects.There were differences of 0-2 bases in DNA barcode sequences between conspecific eggs and pupae,with the sequence identity of 99.7%-100%.The average content of A,T,G and C of DNA barcode sequences from Lepidopteran insects were 30.7%,38.5%,14.9% and 15.9%,respectively.The obtained DNA barcode sequences had 91.4%-100% identity and 0-8.6% difference degree with GenBank-deposited DNA barcode sequences from organisms of the genetically-closest relationship.Among them,DNA barcode sequences from egg and pupa samples of 10 Lepidopteran insects(No.1-20) had 99%-100% identity and 0-1.0% difference degree with homologous sequences in GenBank database,while the remaining samples(No.21-22) had high difference degree(8.6%) with homologous sequences.[Conclusion] The established DNA barcoding technique is an effeetive tool for species identification of Lepidopteran pests using genomic DNA from eggs and pupae of Lepidopteran insects.     

猪带绦虫六钩蚴TSOL18基因疫苗表达载体的构建及其免疫原性研究

为研制新型猪囊尾蚴疫苗,将猪带绦虫六钩蚴阶段编码 TSOL18 的基因定向克隆于真核表达质粒 pVAX1, 经筛选、鉴定及 DNA序列分析正确后,将重组质粒 pVAX1/TSOL18 转染 BHK-21 细胞,通过 SDS-PAGE、Western blotting、免疫荧光试验等方法检测细胞中表达的 TSOL18 抗原。结果表明,重组真核质粒 pVAX1/TSOL18 可在 BHK-21 细胞中表达TSOL18 目的蛋白,表达蛋白能被猪囊尾蚴病阳性血清所识别。动物免疫试验表明,真核表达载体能有效地诱导机体产生细胞免疫和体液免疫应答,这为猪囊尾蚴病基因疫苗的研究奠定了良好基础。

基于《耕地质量等级》的靖远县耕地质量等级评价

基于《耕地质量等级》标准,按照黄土高原区耕地质量等级评定指标体系,利用县域耕地资源管理信息系统建立耕地质量等级信息系统数据库,运用空间分析、层次分析、模糊数学和综合指数等方法对靖远县耕地质量等级进行综合评价.结果表明:靖远县耕地受地貌、地形和水文地质条件影响等级高低出现了明显的区域分布规律,从北到南,依次为十等地到三等地,面积占比分别为1.51％、23.51％、41.55％、15.92％、10.31％、3.87％、2.34％、0.99％.耕地质量平均等级为7.64等,耕地主要利用类型由旱地和砂田逐渐向菜地和水田过渡.全县耕地土壤有机质、有效磷、速效钾平均含量为11.41 g/kg、16.55 mg/kg、178.03 mg/kg,均属于中等水平.全氮为0.70 g/kg,属于低等水平.该评价较准确地反映了靖远县耕地质量等级现状,可对耕地质量的监测和保护提供了参考依据.     

Anal leiomyoma in a Holstein heifer.

A 2-year-old heifer was presented with masses on her anus that were interfering with cervical manipulation during embryo flushing. The masses had broad stalks attached within the anal sphinchter. Recovery was without incident after surgical resection. No recurrence of the masses had occurred 3 months later. Histologic diagnosis was benign leiomyoma.
