土壤日晒在绿色植保中的应用与展望

土壤消毒主要用于土壤病虫草害防控。过去几十年,土壤主要采用化学药品熏蒸消毒,不合理使用容易造成环境污染。土壤蒸汽消毒、火焰消毒和热水浇灌等需要专门的仪器设备,且存在能耗较高、灭生性强、容易破坏土壤结构等缺点。目前,土壤日晒技术受到意大利、美国、以色列等70多个国家农业科学家的广泛关注,但在中国依然处于初级阶段。本文总结了国内外学者关于土壤日晒对农业病虫草害、土壤肥力、农作物产量等方面的影响与应用,分析了土壤日晒存在的局限性,并对土壤日晒在未来农业绿色防控上的应用前景进行了展望,以期为农产品无公害生产提供理论依据和实践参考。     

降雨强度对农业耕作措施水土保持作用的影响

利用人工模拟降雨试验,研究不同降雨强度下,不同农业耕作措施坡地水土流失特征。试验设计的坡地坡度分别为5°和15°,降雨强度分别为60、90、120 mm·h^-1;耕作措施分别为等高耕作、人工掏挖和人工锄耕,以相同坡度的平整坡地作为对照。结果表明：（1）随着降雨强度的增大,各耕作措施坡地产流量显著增大1.51倍以上,最大增加幅度为等高耕作坡地的2.28倍。而坡地产沙量在降雨强度较小时增加不显著,当降雨强度增大到120 mm·h^-1时,坡地产沙量显著增大;（2）与平整坡地相比,等高耕作在3个降雨强度下都具有明显的减流效益,减流量均大于15%,而人工锄耕和人工掏挖却不明显;（3）在5°坡地上,等高耕作和人工掏挖在3个降雨强度的减沙效益均大于25%,而人工锄耕减沙效益不明显;在坡度为15°、降雨强度为60 mm·h^-1和90 mm·h^-1时,人工锄耕和人工掏挖减沙效益与降雨强度关系无明显规律,在降雨强度为120 mm·h^-1时,3个耕作措施都不能有效降低坡地产沙量。可见,水土保持农业耕作措施具有降低坡地产流量的作用,而对于坡地产沙的作用存在明显差异,在大坡度和大降雨强度下,不仅不能降低坡地产沙,反而加剧坡地土壤流失。

为了提高马尾松毛虫一代、二代幼虫高峰期发生量预报的准确性,为有效防治马尾松毛虫提供科学依据,本文运用模糊综合评判的6个数学模型预测安徽省潜山县马尾松毛虫一代、二代幼虫高峰期的发生量,验证预报1989年、1994年、2002年和2017年一代马尾松毛虫幼虫高峰期发生量,预报结果分别为2级、4级、2级和1级,与实况级别完全吻合,预报结果准确。预报1989年、1994年、2002年和2017年二代马尾松毛虫幼虫高峰期发生量,预报结果依次是4级、5级、2级和1级。同样与实况级别全部相同。预报的准确率为100%,模糊综合评判法是一个运算简便、准确性高的预报方法。     

北方白菜型冬油菜花器特性及农艺性状与含油量的相关性

为研究北方白菜型冬油菜花冠直径与千粒重及含油量之间的相关性,以20份不同的白菜型冬油菜为材料,测定花器大小、农艺性状、种子含油量及蛋白质含量,并对控制花器特征基因mf6、apetala和myb进行实时荧光定量PCR分析。结果表明:花冠直径受雌蕊直径影响较大,主成分分析提取的3个主成分可综合为花器各性状长度、雌蕊直径和花器各性状宽度;以花冠直径为指示性状,将20份白菜型冬油菜花冠划分为3类群;相关性分析表明,花冠直径与千粒重呈极显著正相关,相关系数0.663;千粒重与含油量呈极显著正相关,与蛋白质含量呈显著负相关。相较于小花,mf6在大花中相对表达量上调了151.63%,而apetala和myb分别下调了83.80%和72.70%。北方白菜型冬油菜品种间花器大小存在显著差异;在育种中可通过增加花冠直径来提高千粒重,进而增加油菜产油量,培育高含油量白菜型冬油菜品种。mf6、apetala和myb基因对白菜型冬油菜花器生长发育均具有一定调控作用。     

氯虫苯甲酰胺拌种对稻纵卷叶螟的防治效果及安全性评价

为减少水稻抽穗前田间稻纵卷叶螟的化学防治次数及用药量,降低对天敌的伤害及农药残留,最终实现稻纵卷叶螟的简约化防控,采用氯虫苯甲酰胺对水稻种子进行拌种处理,室内测定了药剂拌种对种子发芽的安全性,并结合不同栽培模式下的田间试验,评价了不同用量下氯虫苯甲酰胺拌种对稻纵卷叶螟的控制时长及保叶效果,明确了药剂拌种对天敌蜘蛛的影响及最终残留情况。结果表明:当氯虫苯甲酰胺按有效成分用量30~120 g/hm2拌种时,对种子的发芽率及出苗均无影响。直播稻模式下,氯虫苯甲酰胺按有效成分60 g/hm2拌种,播种后110 d,其保叶效果仍高达97.13%;旱育手栽秧模式下,氯虫苯甲酰胺按有效成分90 g/hm2拌种,播种后108 d保叶效果为82%以上,旱育机插秧模式下按有效成分90~120 g/hm2拌种,播种后90 d保叶效果仍在95%以上;3种模式下拌种处理的保叶效果及持效期均远优于常规喷雾防治。研究表明,利用氯虫苯甲酰胺对水稻种子进行拌种处理,可有效控制水稻前期及中期稻纵卷叶螟的为害,降低后期田间虫口基数,并且对田间天敌蜘蛛安全性高,同时在收获的稻谷中未检出氯虫苯甲酰胺残留(残留量低于定量限0.000 8 mg/kg)。在江苏省丘陵地区粳稻区应用氯虫苯甲酰胺拌种处理,可确保水稻直至抽穗初期无需再进行稻纵卷叶螟的防治,并可显著减少后期稻纵卷叶螟虫源基数,实现稻纵卷叶螟的简约化防治。

Metformin sensitizes human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells to tamo-xifen through down-regulation of c-Myc

AIM: To investigate whether metformin enhances the sensitivity of human breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells to tamoxifen by down-regulating c-Myc. METHODS: The cell viability, colony formation, apoptosis, and migration and invasion abilities of MDA-MB-231 cells were detected by CCK-8 assay, colony formation experiment, flow cytometry and Transwell assay. The expression level of c-Myc was quantified by Western blot and immunohistochemical analysis. The antitumor effects of metformin and tamoxifen were investigated in vivo in a MDA-MB-231 triple-negative breast cancer xenograft model in the SCID mice. RESULTS: Metformin in combination with tamoxifen exerted synergistic effects on inhibition of the viability, colony formation, migration and invasion, and induced the apoptosis compared with the controls and either agent treatment alone in the MDA-MB-231 cells. The levels of c-Myc was down-regulated in vitro by treatment with metformin and/or tamoxifen (P<0.01). Moreover, metformin or in combination with tamoxifen also reduced the growth of MDA-MB-231 breast cancer tumors in the SCID mice by down-regulation of c-Myc in vivo. CONCLUSION: Metformin in combination with tamoxifen exerts synergistic effects on inhibition of the proliferation, migration, invasion and tumor growth of human triple-negative breast cancer MDA-MB-231 cells by down-regulating c-Myc expression, suggesting that metformin in combination with tamoxifen merits further evaluation as a target.     

Effect of HMGA2 gene on high glucose-induced apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells by regulating Notch signaling pathway

AIM:To investigate the effect of HMGA2 down-regulation on apoptosis and Notch signaling pathway in renal tubular epithelial cells exposed to high glucose (HG). METHODS:D-glucose at 5, 10, 20 and 30 mmol/L was used to stimulate human renal tubular epithelial HK-2 cells for 2 h, and D-glucose at 30 mmol/L was used to stimulate the HK-2 cells for 10 min, 60 min and 120 min. The protein expression of HMGA2 was determined by Western blot. The HK-2 cells were divided into normal glucose (NG) group, HG group, HG+si-HMGA2 group and HG+NC group, in which siRNA was transfected by Lipofectamine^TM 2000 for 48 h. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the apoptotic rate, reactive oxygen species (ROS) assay kit was used to detect ROS content, and Western blot was used to detect the protein levels of Notch1, Hes1 and Bcl-2. The HK-2 cells were treated with the Notch signaling pathway inhibitor DAPT, and then the cells were divided into HG group, HG+DAPT group and HG+si-HMGA2+DAPT group. The apoptotic rate was analyzed by flow cytometry. RESULTS:Exposure of the HK-2 cells to D-glucose at different concentrations for different time significantly increased the expression of HMGA2 (P<0.05). Compared with NG group, the protein expression of HMGA2, Notch1 and Hes1 in HG group was increased, the expression of Bcl-2/Bax was decreased, the apoptotic rate was increased, and the content of ROS was increased obviously (P<0.05). Compared with HG group, the protein expression of HMGA2, Notch1 and Hes1 of HG+si-HMGA2 group was decreased, the expression of Bcl-2/Bax was increased, the apoptotic rate was decreased, and the content of ROS was decreased significantly (P<0.05). The apoptotic rate in HG+DAPT group was significantly lower than that in HG group, while the apoptotic rate in HG+si-HMGA2+DAPT group was significantly lower than that in HG+DAPT group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:Down-regulation of HMGA2 expression inhibits the apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells by regulating Notch signaling pathway and decreasing ROS production.
