星云湖种植空心菜生长量及净化湖水效果分析

针对当前星云湖中度富营养化(劣V类)水质的实际问题,采用漂浮种植设施直接在星云湖湖面种植空心菜(Ipomoea aquatica),开展适应性生长试验和湖水养分吸收净化试验的研究。结果表明:空心菜能够很好地适应生长于低浓度养分的星云湖水体环境(全N 2.41 mg·L^-1、水溶性N 2.00 mg·L^-1、水溶性P 0.46 mg·L^-1),并且前期表现为较短的缓苗期(7 d),后期则枝叶生长旺盛;在空心菜的6次茎叶收割周期中,其生长量呈现出"先增后降"的趋势,且茎叶生长量较高,空心菜的茎叶鲜重达75555 kg·hm^-2·a^-1,生长量为1260 kg·hm^-2·d-1;空心菜的养分含量主要分配在茎叶,茎叶中总N、总P、总K含量分别为3.43%、0.74%、6.25%;空心菜对星云湖湖水养分具有较强的吸收净化能力,吸收星云湖湖水中的N、P、K量分别为259.05、55.21、469.84 kg·hm^-2·a^-1,净化星云湖湖水的量以水溶性N、水溶性P、水溶性K计,分别为129525、120022、34220 m³·hm^-2·a^-1;空心菜的生长量与茎叶养分吸收量和湖水养分量之间存在一定的相关性。利用空心菜漂浮种植于星云湖水面,产生了明显的经济效益及显著的生态效益。     

Covariation of synaptonemal complex length and mammalian meiotic exchange rates

Analysis of recombination between loci (linkage analysis) has been a cornerstone of human genetic research, enabling investigators to localize and, ultimately, identify genetic loci. However, despite these efforts little is known about patterns of meiotic exchange in human germ cells or the mechanisms that control these patterns. Using recently developed immunofluorescence methodology to examine exchanges in human spermatocytes, we have identified remarkable variation in the rate of recombination within and among individuals. Subsequent analyses indicate that, in humans and mice, this variation is linked to differences in the length of the synaptonemal complex. Thus, at least in mammals, a physical structure, the synaptonemal complex, reflects genetic rather than physical distance.     

MDV CVI988/Rispens弱毒株VP22基因克隆和序列分析

血清I型马立克氏病病毒(MDV-1)的UL49h基因编码病毒被膜蛋白VP22在病毒的复制和传播过程中具有非常重要的作用.根据已发表的MDV-1 GA株的序列,从CVI988/Rispens弱毒株感染的鸭胚成纤维细胞中扩增VP22基因片段,结果获得大小为732 bp的PCR产物.将PCR产物克隆T载体并测序分析,结果发现,与经典强毒GA株相比,弱毒株CVI988的VP22存在3个定点突变和一个缺失性突变.缺失的位点亲水性强,并位于VP22主要的抗原决定簇区.结果证明强毒株与弱毒株的VP22存在明显差异,为利用CVI988 VP22的蛋白传导域传导目的蛋白奠定了理论基础.     

云南大叶种茶树不同海拔高度叶片的解剖

 在海拔1200米到2150米范围内,云南大叶种茶树叶片的厚度、上下表皮细胞厚度、栅栏组织层和海绵组织层的厚度及其两者的比值均随海拔上升而增加,但海拔上升到2350米时,上述各种数值则减少,只有角质层变厚。     

Ozone loss inside the northern polar vortex during the 1991-1992 winter

Measurements made in the outer ring of the northern polar vortex from October 1991 through March 1992 reveal an altitude-dependent change in ozone, with a decrease at the bottom of the vortex and a substantial increase at the highest altitudes accessible to measurement. The increase is the result of ozone-rich air entering the vortex, and the decrease reflects ozone loss accumulated after the descent of the air through high concentrations of reactive chlorine. The depleted air that is released out of the bottom of the vortex is sufficient to significantly reduce column ozone at mid-latitudes.     

Removal of Stratospheric O3 by Radicals: In Situ Measurements of OH, HO2, NO, NO2, ClO, and BrO

Simultaneous in situ measurements of the concentrations of OH, HO(2), ClO, BrO, NO, and NO(2) demonstrate the predominance of odd-hydrogen and halogen free-radical catalysis in determining the rate of removal of ozone in the lower stratosphere during May 1993. A single catalytic cycle, in which the rate-limiting step is the reaction of HO(2) with ozone, accounted for nearly one-half of the total O(3) removal in this region of the atmosphere. Halogen-radical chemistry was responsible for approximately one-third of the photochemical removal of O(3); reactions involving BrO account for one-half of this loss. Catalytic destruction by NO(2), which for two decades was considered to be the predominant loss process, accounted for less than 20 percent of the O(3) removal. The measurements demonstrate quantitatively the coupling that exists between the radical families. The concentrations of HO(2) and ClO are inversely correlated with those of NO and NO(2). The direct determination of the relative importance of the catalytic loss processes, combined with a demonstration of the reactions linking the hydrogen, halogen, and nitrogen radical concentrations, shows that in the air sampled the rate of O(3) removal was inversely correlated with total NOx, loading.     

Can the mudskipper,Periophthalmus chrysospilos,tolerate acute environmental hypoxic exposure?

The mudskipper P. chrysospilos became inert at 0.76 μl O₂.ml⁻¹ when it was allowed to respire in a ‘closed respiratory chamber’. No ethanol was detected although it excreted three times more total carbon dioxide into the surrounding sea water than the amount of oxygen consumed. However, P. chrysospilos could survive environmental hypoxic exposure (0.8 μl O₂.ml⁻¹) for at least 6 h. Upon normoxic recovery, the oxygen debt repayment was only a small fraction of the oxygen deficit incurred during the 6 h of hypoxic exposure. It would therefore appear that P. chrysospilos was able to cope with environmental hypoxia by suppressing its metabolic rate.
