Effects of dietary lipids on body composition and liver function in juvenile red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of different concentrations of dietary lipids on body composition and liver function in juvenile red drum, Sciaenops ocellatus. Diets were formulated to contain 40% crude protein from solvent-extracted menhaden fish meal and 0, 7, 14 or 21% lipid from menhaden fish oil. The basal diet, without supplemental fish oil, contained lipid at 0.4% of dry weight. The diets were fed to groups of 25 juvenile red drum initially averaging 7.3 ± 0.18 g fish^–1 in a recirculating culture system for 8 weeks and weight gain was recorded. After an additional 8 weeks, 16 fish from each treatment were sacrificed and the following measurements were recorded: hepatosomatic index (HSI), intraperitoneal fat (IPF) ratio, and liver -tocopherol, malondialdehyde (MDA) formation, and cytochrome P-4501A activity (measured as 7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylase (EROD) activity). The activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases and concentrations of -tocopherol also were measured in plasma.Weight gain was significantly (p<0.05) affected by dietary lipid concentration, with values ranging from 361% of initial weight for fish fed the basal diet to 527% of initial weight for fish fed the diet containing 7% lipid. The HSI and IPF ratio values also were significantly affected by lipid with the lowest values recorded for fish fed the basal diet and the highest values observed in fish fed the diet containing 21% lipid. Increasing dietary lipid significantly increased oxidative stress as reflected in reduced -tocopherol in liver and plasma and increased MDA formation in the liver, although no overt pathological signs were observed. These findings suggest that lipid concentrations between 7 and 14%, when the diet contains 60 IU vitamin E kg^–1, are likely to limit oxidative stress and result in normal physiological responses of red drum.

以中华鲟(Acipenser sinensis)脑垂体总RNA为模板,采用RT-PCR和RACE方法,获得中华鲟神经内分泌多肽(7B2)基因的3个重叠片段,测序后拼接得到986 bp全长基因序列,其中包括5'端非翻译区(5′-UTR)14 bp、3′端非翻译区(3-′UTR)261 bp和开放阅读框711 bp。翻译编码236个氨基酸。其中前43个氨基酸为7B2的信号肽。经BLAST比对发现中华鲟7B2蛋白的同源性与斑马鱼(Danio rerio)的相似性最高为82%。系统发育分析表明,中华鲟与斑马鱼亲缘关系最近。半定量RT-PCR分析表明:在脑中7B2 mRNA表达量最高,心脏、性腺、胰等组织中表达次之,肠、肾、皮肤等组织中少量表达,肝和鳃几乎不表达。     

Use of a cyclic high-pressure sodium lamp to inhibit flowering of chrysanthemum and velvet sage

Photoperiod is commonly controlled in the commercial production of ornamental crops to induce or prevent flowering. Flower induction in short-day (SD) plants can be prevented or delayed when the natural daylength is short by providing low-intensity lighting during the dark period. A stationary high-pressure sodium (HPS) lamp with an oscillating aluminum parabolic reflector (cyclic HPS) has been developed to provide intermittent lighting to greenhouse crops. We determined the efficacy of a cyclic HPS lamp at preventing flowering in SD plants garden chrysanthemum [Chrysanthemum × grandiflorum (Ramat.) Kitam.] ‘Bianca’, pot chrysanthemum ‘Auburn’, and velvet sage (Salvia leucantha L.) relative to traditional night interruption (NI) lighting strategies. Plants were grown in a glass-glazed greenhouse at a mean daily temperature of 19.5–20.7 °C with natural SD photoperiods. NI lighting was delivered during the middle of the night (2230–0230 h) from a 600 W cyclic HPS lamp mounted at one gable end of the greenhouse or from incandescent (INC) lamps that were illuminated for the entire 4 h (CONT INC) or for 6 min every 30 min for 4 h. Plants under cyclic HPS were grown at lateral distances of 1, 4, 7, 10, or 13 m from under the lamp. Control plants were grown under an uninterrupted 15 h skotoperiod. As the distance from the cyclic HPS lamp increased from 1 to 13 m, the maximum irradiance measured during the NI decreased from 25.4 to 0.3 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹ and time to visible inflorescence (VI) and the number of nodes at VI decreased. All species had a VI within 54 d, but ≤10% of plants flowered when grown at a lateral distance of 1 or 4 m from the cyclic HPS lamp or under CONT INC. Plants grown without NI had a VI 2 to 15 d earlier and flowered 7 to 24 d earlier than plants grown at 10 or 13 m from the cyclic HPS. All garden chrysanthemums flowered under cyclic INC, whereas velvet sage and pot chrysanthemum had 15% and 35% flowering, respectively. These results indicate that a cyclic HPS lamp can be used effectively to delay flower induction and prevent flowering in these species when NI is delivered at ≥2.4 μmol m⁻² s⁻¹.

小麦耐热及热敏感基因型在高温胁迫下膜透性及膜脂组分的差异

高温逆境下,植物膜透性的增加导致细胞代谢紊乱并诱导热激基因表达.脂肪酸是构成生物膜的主要物质,饱和脂肪酸的含量及饱和程度高,有利于保持膜在高温时的流动性和稳定性.本研究利用小麦(Triticum aestivum)耐热基因型TAM107和热敏感基因型中国春(CS)为对象,研究了高温胁迫对膜透性、叶绿素荧光参数Fv/Fm、膜脂组分及其相关脂肪酸去饱和酶基因(FAD7)表达的影响,结果表明,高温胁迫下,两基因型膜透性均增加,膜脂中的三烯脂肪酸含量下降,但TAM107变化幅度明显高于中国春,在脂肪酸水平上说明耐热小麦品种的膜系统较热敏感品种对高温逆境有较强的耐受性;中国春比TAM107中FAD7的表达对高温更加敏感,这直接影响了热胁迫前后膜脂中三烯脂肪酸含量的变化,在转录水平上说明了耐热小麦基因型较热敏感基因型对高温逆境有较强的耐受性.三烯脂肪酸含量在热胁迫前后的变化可作为一种新的耐热鉴定指标.     

7Be在示踪土壤侵蚀和沉积物中的研究探讨

环境放射性核素137Cs和210Pb为测量土壤侵蚀和沉积速率提供了一种重要的方法。然而这两种核素只能提供中长期(45年和100年)的土壤再分配的速率,因此有必要研究示踪个别事件或短周期的土壤再分配的速率作为示踪中长期土壤再分配速率的有益补充,7Be(半衰期53.3 d)作为自然放射性核素,能够满足示踪个别事件或短周期的土壤再分配的需要,越来越受到广泛的关注。土壤再分配过程一般是自然和人为因素共同引起的,需要评价他们各自对土壤再分配过程的影响程度,用于评价土地利用和水土保持措施的效果,更为重要的是用于土地资源可持续利用和环境保护。讨论了7Be产生规律以及沉降特点,阐述了7Be在土壤再分配过程中的示踪原理,并对现有土壤侵蚀定量估算模型进行阐述并改进了模型,提出了今后应用7Be技术的研究方向。
