Environmentally friendly slow-release nitrogen fertilizer

To sustain the further world population, more fertilizers are required, which may become an environmental hazard, unless adequate technical and socioeconomic impacts are addressed. In the current study, slow-release formulations of nitrogen fertilizer were developed on the basis of natural attapulgite (APT) clay, ethylcellulose (EC) film, and sodium carboxymethylcellulose/hydroxyethylcellulose (CMC/HEC) hydrogel. The structural and chemical characteristics of the product were examined. The release profiles of urea, ammonium sulfate, and ammonium chloride as nitrogen fertilizer substrates were determined in soil. To further compare the release profiles of nitrogen from different fertilizer substrates, a mathematical model for nutrient release from the coated fertilizer was applied to calculate the diffusion coefficient D. The influence of the product on water-holding and water-retention capacities of soil was determined. The experimental data indicated that the product can effectively reduce nutrient loss, improve use efficiency of water, and prolong irrigation cycles in drought-prone environments.     

生物保鲜剂结合气调包装对带鱼冷藏货架期的影响

为了延长带鱼冷藏货架期,以空气包装组为对照,在（4±1）℃冷藏条件下,采用复合生物保鲜剂涂膜及保鲜剂结合气调包装对带鱼进行保鲜试验。以感官评分、细菌总数、挥发性盐基氮值（total volatile base nitrogen,TVB-N）、pH值、硫代巴比妥酸值（the 2-thiobarbituric acid,TBA）和汁液流失率为指标,测定带鱼冷藏过程中的品质变化。结果表明：空气包装组带鱼冷藏货架期为4 d,复合生物保鲜剂（1.0%壳聚糖＋0.4%茶多酚）具有良好的抑菌保鲜作用,高浓度CO2气调包装带鱼汁液流失较为严重,生物保鲜剂结合60%CO2＋10%O2＋30%N2气调包装组保鲜效果最为显著,冷藏贮存20 d,带鱼的细菌总数为5.59 lg(cfu/g),TVB-N值为19.39 mg/100 g,仍处在带鱼二级鲜度之内,可将冷藏带鱼货架期延长至20d,是对照组的5倍,且能较好地维持新鲜带鱼感官品质,以期为带鱼的保鲜提供一定的参考。

微酸性电解水结合壳聚糖对水蜜桃护色保鲜的效果

为了防止水蜜桃(Prunus persicaL.Batsch)采后的果肉颜色变化而严重影响其商品价值。该研究以南汇水蜜桃为材料,分别利用自制羧甲基壳聚糖复合保鲜剂,以及微酸性电解水对水蜜桃进行护色保鲜处理,并对冷藏条件下(2℃)水蜜桃果肉颜色及与颜色品质变化相关的指标进行了检测,同时还利用核磁共振成像(MRI)合成T2-MAP图研究了冷藏开始和结束后水蜜桃内部变化的规律。结果表明,在贮藏结束后,对照组果肉颜色的L*值、H*值、C*值分别是羧甲基壳聚糖复合保鲜剂和微酸性电解水处理组的85%～91%、85%～93%和114%～122%(p<0.05)。显然,羧甲基壳聚糖复合保鲜剂和微酸性电解水由于可以抑制水果自身乙烯的产生,减少水果的细胞膜透性和T2-MAP图中T2弛豫常数的变化,降低了多酚氧化酶(PPO)活性的增加速度,减少了酚类物质的累积,进而延缓了果肉的变色。另外,与仅用电解水处理相比,结合羧甲基壳聚糖处理具有较好的护色保鲜效果。通过该研究,可以为提高采后南汇水蜜桃的果肉护色保鲜效果提供参考。     

H5N1亚型AIVHA抗原表位的高效表达及其抗原活性分析

血凝素（hemagglutinin,HA）蛋白是禽流感病毒（avian influenza virus,AIV）的一个重要表面抗原性蛋白,在疾病诊断和防治上有重要意义。本研究为了探讨一种更为简便有效的HA重组蛋白表达途径,利用生物信息学软件,对H5N1亚型AIVHA基因编码的氨基酸序列进行分析,在分析其在大肠杆菌中的密码子偏好性、稀有密码子分布情况及有关蛋白的抗原性等重要特性后,构建了HA抗原表位重组表达质粒pET-32a（＋）-HA。经测试,该重组质粒在1mmol/LIPTG诱导剂作用下诱导过夜,能在大肠杆菌Rosetta-gami B（DE3）中高效表达,并得到48.1kD大小的目的重组表达蛋白。重组蛋白用6×His-tagged protein纯化试剂盒纯化后,与福氏佐剂等量混合制备成抗原,以200μg/鸡的剂量皮下注射2月龄SPF鸡3次,采血分离血清。Western-Blot试验结果表明,该重组表达蛋白能分别与所制备的高免鸡血清及H5N1亚型AIV阳性血清发生特异性反应,在硝酸纤维素膜上出现特异性杂交带。说明本试验研究的HA抗原重组表达蛋白具有良好的免疫原性和反应原性,保留了HA蛋白的抗原活性,提示该重组蛋白在H5亚型AIV的防治技术研究中具有重要的实际应用价值。

应用MicroResp方法研究4种重建森林土壤微生物对不同类型碳源的代谢特征,自然恢复地为对照处理。结果表明,不同培养时间(6 h和继续培养18 h)和不同土壤深度(0~10和10~20 cm),土壤微生物对单一碳源的利用能力差异显著。4种重建森林土壤微生物对碳源利用能力有显著差异,表现为:自然恢复地阔叶混交林阔叶纯林针阔混交林针叶纯林。多样性指数和均匀度指数表明4种重建森林土壤微生物群落多样性的变化趋势为:自然恢复地阔叶混交林阔叶纯林针阔混交林针叶纯林,除自然恢复地外,土壤微生物的多样性和均匀度在4种不同重建森林类型之间差异不显著。主成分分析结果表明,所选15种碳源能够阐述4种不同重建森林土壤微生物功能多样性的差异,森林土壤微生物的敏感碳源主要为糖类。     

微孔曝气流量与曝气管长度对水体增氧性能的影响

为了探究曝气流量与曝气管长度对增氧性能的影响,在不同曝气流量、不同曝气管长度条件下进行了室内水体底部微孔曝气增氧试验。分析了曝气流量与曝气管长度对氧体积传质系数、增氧量和氧利用率的影响。研究结果表明,当曝气流量为0.27~0.55 m3/s、曝气管长为0.9~1.5 m时,所对应的氧体积传质系数在0.63~1.1 h-1变化,增氧量在6.8~12.9 g/h变化,氧利用率在6.87%~9.28%变化,且在一定的曝气管长度下,氧体积传质系数、增氧量均与曝气流量成正比,而氧利用率则与其成反比关系;在一定的曝气流量下,曝气管长度对氧体积传质系数产生的影响表现为先高后低再高的趋势;氧体积传质系数与修正的饱和溶解氧浓度是否作为增氧量的主要影响因子取决于曝气管长度;曝气流量对氧利用率较曝气管长度更为敏感。研究还发现,微孔曝气系统中存在着最优曝气管长度,使得增氧性能最佳,并建立了最优曝气管长度与曝气流量、水深、输入压力、最优初始气泡直径的相关关系式,为低碳经济下微孔曝气系统的设计和运行提供了理论依据。

Asymmetric warming effects on N dynamics and productivity in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Climate warming exhibits strong diurnal variations, with higher warming rates being observed at nighttime, which significantly affects rice (Oryza sativa L.) growth and grain yield. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of asymmetric warming (all-day warming, AW; daytime warming from 07:00 to 19:00, DW; nighttime warming from 19:00 to 07:00, NW, and a control, CK) on rice nitrogen (N) dynamics and productivity. Two rice bucket warming experiments were performed in Nanjing in Jiangsu Province, China, using the free air temperature increase (FATI) technique. The daily mean temperatures in the rice canopy in the AW, DW and NW plots were 2.0, 1.1 and 1.3ºC higher than those in the rice canopy in the CK plots, respectively. The results indicated that the total N accumulation of rice was 8.27–40.53% higher in the warming treatment than in the control during the jointing, anthesis and maturity stages. However, there was no significant difference detected among the three warming treatments. The warming treatment substantially decreased N translocation efficiency, leading to the retention of more N in the plant stems during grain filling. The warming treatment also decreased the N harvest index, N utilization efficiency based on grain yield and N utilization efficiencies based on biomass in both growing seasons. The warming treatment significantly increased the aboveground biomass (9.26–16.18%) in the jointing stage but decreased it (2.75–9.63%) in the maturity stage. Although DW increased the carbon (C) gain by photosynthesis and NW increased the C loss by night respiration, the daytime higher-temperature treatment affected rice photosynthesis and reduced its photosynthetic rate and product. This effect may be one of the primary reasons for the insignificant difference in the aboveground biomass between the DW and NW treatments. In the AW, DW and NW plots, the grain yield was reduced by an average of 10.07, 5.05 and 7.89%, respectively, across both years. The effective panicles and grains per spike tended to decrease in the warmed plots, whereas irregular changes in the 1000-grain weight were observed. Our results suggest that under the anticipated climate warming, rice productivity would further decline in the Yangtze River Basin.     

回生抗性淀粉种类对米淀粉凝胶形成的影响

为寻找改善普通米淀粉制品的结构及品质的新型食品添加剂,该文以普通米淀粉为原料,采用快速黏度分析仪、扫描电子显微镜、质构分析仪、全自动X射线衍射仪及示差扫描量热仪等手段,研究添加锥栗、马铃薯与绿豆回生抗性淀粉(retrograded resistant starch,RSⅢ)对米淀粉凝胶微观结构及理化性质的影响。结果表明:添加锥栗、马铃薯及绿豆RSⅢ对米淀粉凝胶的结构及性质产生显著影响(P0.01),以锥栗RSⅢ的作用最为突出。添加锥栗、马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ对米淀粉糊的黏度特性没有影响(P0.05)。未添加RSⅢ的米淀粉凝胶存在很多不规则、深浅不一的大洞,而加入RSⅢ使米淀粉凝胶的网状结构变得更为规整、致密,且其胶着性与黏聚性变化不大(P0.05);添加锥栗、马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ后能加速米淀粉凝胶的形成,与未添加RSⅢ的米淀粉凝胶比,其硬度分别增加了2.38、1.97和1.25倍(P0.01),黏着性分别增加2.56、1.99和1.32倍(P0.01),弹性增加1.07、0.81和0.53倍(P0.01)。米淀粉以A-型晶体占优,锥栗RSⅢ以V-型晶体占优,马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ均以B-型晶体占优;不加或加入RSⅢ的米淀粉凝胶粉末都转变为以V-型晶体为主,且总相对结晶度没有改变(P0.05)。加入RSⅢ后的米淀粉糊除有低温吸热峰外还出现高温吸热峰,是否添加RSⅢ对低温吸热峰的温度参数影响不大(P0.05),但吸热焓显著降低(P0.01);而对于高温吸热峰,添加马铃薯与绿豆RSⅢ的各项参数没有差别(P0.05),但比添加锥栗RSⅢ的显著增高(P0.01)。可见添加不同来源的RSⅢ可以有效改善米淀粉凝胶的结构与品质。该研究结果为抗性淀粉用于提高米制品品质与营养功能的研究和生产提供了重要参考。
