Porosity and capillarity of weft knitted spacer structures

A geometrical model of weft knitted spacer structures made with mono-filament yarn has been analysed to understand the spacer yarn path. Theoretical models have been created to predict the porosity and the radius of the capillaries of a knitted spacer structure depending on their geometrical parameters, such as course spacing, wale spacing, stitch length, fabric thickness, count of yarn and fibre density. Polyester knitted spacer fabrics were produced with different parameters; their porosity was determined by measuring the weight and compared with the theoretical porosity. The validity of the model was confirmed by experimental results. The porosity of knitted spacer structures made out of mono-filament yarn can be maintained above a certain level by adjusting the fabric parameters such as fabric thickness, course spacing and wale spacing.

The Rht13 dwarfing gene reduces peduncle length and plant height to increase grain number and yield of wheat

The green-revolution Rht-B1b and Rht-D1b dwarfing alleles are usually associated with increased wheat yields but are linked to reduced early growth and poor emergence if sowing conditions are unfavourable. Other dwarfing genes are available but not used in commercial breeding. The Rht13 bread wheat donor, Magnif M1, produces uniquely short peduncle and penultimate internodes to reduce plant height. A set of near-isogenic (NILs) and recombinant inbred (RILs) lines varying for height were developed from the cross of Magnif M1 and the Rht8c-containing Chuan-mai 18, and evaluated for a range of agronomic characteristics across favourable environments. Reductions in plant height were associated with increased grain number (r² = 0.35**) and harvest index (r² = 0.62**) in the NILs. Reduced-height RILs containing the Rht13-linked, Xgwm577_M microsatellite marker were significantly shorter, produced greater biomass, yield and harvest index, and increased spike and grain number than lines without the marker. Approximately 74 and 7% of the total phenotypic variance in plant height was accounted for by allelic differences in Xgwm577 and Rht8 loci, respectively. The peduncle and penultimate peduncle internodes of Rht13-containing lines were proportionately shorter than Rht8c-containing sibs and lines containing the Rht-B1b dwarfing allele. The unique height-reducing phenotype, increased grain number and yield associated with Rht13 indicate considerable potential for use of this dwarfing allele for improving wheat performance.     

太湖梅梁湾生物控藻围栏内鲢、鳙比肠长和比肝重的动态变化

为了解滤食性鱼类的消化生理指标及其生态适应性,2005年1-10月,调查了太湖梅梁湾生物控藻围栏中鲢(Hypophthalmichthys molitrix)、鳙(Aristichthys nobilis)在不同生长阶段的比肠长和比肝重指数的动态变化,分析了比肠长和比肝重与温度、体长、体重以及饵料组成的关系。结果表明,鲢、鳙比肠长和比肝重的季节变化都非常明显,比肠长均值分别为9.66和5.73,夏季的比肠长均明显增大。总的来看,鲢的比肠长和季节变化幅度均大于鳙,表明在滤食和消化浮游植物上,鲢具有更强的环境适应能力;鲢、鳙的比肠长与水温显著正相关(鲢P<0.01;鳙P<0.05),而与体长、体重以及饵料组成的相关性不显著;温度导致的摄食强度变化应是鲢、鳙比肠长季节变化的主要原因。鲢、鳙的比肝重均值分别为1.57%和1.91%,鳙的比肝重明显大于鲢,这可能与鳙摄食更多的浮游动物有关;鲢、鳙的比肝重与温度、体长、体重以及饵料组成均有显著的相关性(P<0.05),表明生物个体的形态特征与其所利用的资源环境有非常紧密的联系。     

凡纳滨对虾6个养殖群体遗传多样性的比较分析

中国多批次引进凡纳滨对虾Litopenaeus vannamei并结合生产开展了相对独立的育苗工作,但对引进群体及引进后留种形成的本地群体的遗传变异水平缺乏了解,不利于种质管理及利用。此研究采用AFLP技术对抽查的6个养殖群体进行分析,发现进口群体具有相对较高的遗传多样性水平;养殖性能较好的东方、海星和旭明群体遗传多样性水平与进口群体相近;而乾塘群体遗传变异水平最高,推测可能是与其种质混杂有关;广益群体遗传多样性水平最低,可能已出现近交衰退。通过对各个群体间的遗传距离进行分析,为下一步根据亲缘关系的远近开展群体问杂交育种提供技术依据。     

Molecular typing of Streptococcus agalactiae isolates from fish

The genetic variability among Streptococcus agalactiae isolates recovered from fish was characterized using single-stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis of the intergenic spacer region (ISR), and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) fingerprinting. A total of 46 S. agalactiae cultures isolated from different fish species and geographic origins as well as related reference strains were included in the study. ISR-SSCP divided the S. agalactiae isolates analysed into five distinct genotypes. Genotype 1 grouped all Kuwait isolates while genotype 4 clustered the majority of non-Kuwait isolates (USA, Brazil and Honduras). AFLP analysis offered a higher resolution level by dividing the isolates into 13 different genotypes. Two different AFLP profiles were identified within the Kuwait isolates. When data from both ISR-SSCP and AFLP were combined through a multidimensional analysis (MDS), a good correlation between geographical origin and genotypes was observed. Both AFLP and ISR-SSCP revealed genetic differences between S. agalactiae isolates from fish. While AFLP offered a higher resolution, ISR-SSCP also provided valid information being a simpler and faster method.
