Growth and survival of lodgepole pine and Scots pine after 25 years in a reciprocal transplant experiment in Canada and Sweden

Lodgepole pine is native to western North America, but it is also planted as a fast-growing alternative to Scots pine in Sweden. The production of these two species, when grown as native and as exotic species, was compared in a transcontinental two-species provenance experiment. The tests were planted in 1986 on five sites in northwestern Canada and two sites in Sweden, and included full-sib families, half-sib families, seed orchard collections and natural stand seed collections of both species. After 25 years, lodgepole pine produced 48% more volume (m³ha^?1) and had 27% higher survival than Scots pine at one Swedish site, and had similar volume production and survival at a second. In the five Canadian sites, Scots pine produced on average 22% more volume than lodgepole pine. The variation between sites was, however, large. This higher volume of Scots pine in Canada could be due to higher survival (+28%) and less frequent damage; but higher top height for lodgepole pine in Canada indicated higher potential productivity. The results indicate that an exotic species may produce more than the native species, possibly thanks to higher survival, but it is also possible to increase production with successful population selection of the native species.

米非司酮对小鼠精子穿透卵丘细胞层的影响

本研究旨在探讨米非司酮（mifepristone,RU486）对小鼠精子穿透卵丘细胞层的影响。分别添加20 μg/mL RU486到精子获能液或穿卵培养液,检测小鼠精子顶体反应发生比率和穿透卵丘细胞层能力。结果显示,添加RU486能够极显著抑制孕酮（P₄,5 μg/mL）诱导的精子顶体反应（P ＜0.01）;并极显著减少穿透卵丘细胞层到达卵子透明带的精子数量及在卵子-卵丘细胞复合体（OCC）中精子发生顶体反应的比率（P＜0.01）;同时添加P₄和RU486情况下,相比单独添加RU486,虽然P₄能够极显著地促进精子穿透卵丘细胞层到达透明带,但对OCC中的精子顶体反应没有明显作用。综上表明,RU486能够抑制P₄诱导的顶体反应并影响小鼠精子穿透卵丘细胞层过程,揭示P₄/孕酮受体（PGR）通路在小鼠精子穿卵过程中具有重要作用。

浓度与pH互作下表没食子儿茶素没食子酸脂（EGCG）对黄壤Al、Fe、Mn迁移的影响

对淋溶环境下黄壤的Al、Fe、Mn浓度进行分析,探讨浓度与pH互作下表没食子儿茶素没食子酸脂(EGCG)对黄壤Al、Fe、Mn迁移的影响。采用二因素四水平完全随机试验,用48个不同浓度和pH组合的EGCG溶液对黄壤进行间歇淋溶,测定淋出液中Al、Fe、Mn浓度,分析黄壤Al、Fe、Mn迁移总量和迁移过程。结果表明,黄壤Al、Fe、Mn迁移总量在浓度与pH互作下均有显著差异;高浓度(5.00mmol/L)高pH(5.5)EGCG溶液有利于Al和Fe的迁移,迁移总量分别为180.24mg/L和41.15mg/L;而EGCG溶液在高浓度(5.00mmol/L)低pH(3.5)时有利于Mn的迁移,其迁移总量为4.50mg/L;Al、Fe、Mn迁移总量在浓度与pH互作下主要表现为AlFeMn。随着淋溶的进行,淋出液中Al和Mn浓度在中后期(大致在第8次取样后)均逐渐降低;但随着中、高浓度(1.00,5.00mmol/L)高pH(5.5)、高浓度(5.00mmol/L)中pH(4.5)的EGCG溶液淋溶的进行,淋出液Fe浓度先增加后降低;当EGCG浓度与低pH(3.5)互作时,淋出液Fe浓度随淋溶的进行整体呈现明显的升高趋势。EGCG溶液的淋溶对土壤Al/Mn毒的治理有一定效果,且淋溶前期的效果更明显,但EGCG溶液不具备同时经济高效治理土壤Al/Mn毒的优势。     

空仓工况下群仓中各单仓动力相互作用分析

为研究群仓中各单仓之间的动力相互作用,以上海外高桥某储存粮食用群仓为背景,制作了2行3列共6个单仓组成的群仓模型,群仓模型具有钢板顶盖以模拟实际中的仓上建筑物,具有刚性底座以模拟实际中的基础结构。通过对空仓工况下的群仓模型进行有限元数值分析,得到了其各阶模态,对模型前五阶模态振型进行分析,结果表明,群仓模型前两阶模态振型为6个单仓一起沿群仓整体对称轴的弯曲变形,单仓之间动力相互作用可以忽略,而且前两阶模态振型相互正交。群仓模型第三阶模态振型为6个单仓绕群仓整体平面中心的扭转变形,同时伴随有4个角仓的弯曲变形,由于中间仓受约束程度强,其动力反应微弱;群仓模型第四阶、第五阶模态振型主要体现为4个角仓的局部变形,而不再是6个单仓的整体变形,单仓因所处位置不同受约束程度不同,动力反应大小不同;群仓模型的第三阶及以上模态振型体现了单仓之间的不同约束程度及动力相互作用。

高粱主要品质性状的基因型与环境及互作效应分析

摘要： 选取10个高梁品种分别播种于山西榆次、辽宁沈阳、甘肃平凉、贵州贵阳和湖南长沙5个地区,淀粉、蛋白质、单宁和脂肪4项品质分析结果表明,不同品种、不同地点间4个品质性状均表现出较大的不同。不同区域试验结果表明,在各试点籽粒淀粉含量变异系数均为最小,平均值为2.59%,单宁最大,变异系数平均值为21.57%,蛋白质和脂肪的变异系数分别为11.13%和18.63%,远远高于淀粉和低于单宁,说明不同品种淀粉含量变化相对较小, 而单宁含量则有很大的变异,有较大的选择余地和改进潜力。分析影响品质性状的主次因素,结果表明,淀粉含量以基因型×环境效应为主,基因效应也较大。单宁含量以基因效应为主要因素,蛋白质含量以基因型×环境互作效应为主, 脂肪含量的环境、基因型、基因型×环境效应三者所占总平方和的百分比比较接近,几乎是基因型、环境和交互作用平均作用的结果。在今后品种的引进和选育方面应考虑这些性状的基因型、环境和互作效应,以提高品种的选育效果和生产水平。     

Simulation of the effects of genotype and N availability on rice growth and yield response to an elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration

The objective of this study was to identify physiological processes that result in genotypic and N fertilization effects on rice yield response to elevated atmospheric CO₂ concentrations ([CO₂]). This study conducted growth and yield simulations for 9 rice genotypes grown at 4 climatically different sites in Asia, assuming the current atmospheric [CO₂] (360 ppm) and elevated [CO₂] (700 ppm) using 5 levels of N fertilizer (4, 8, 12, 16, 20 g m⁻² N fertilizer). A rice growth model that was developed and already validated for 9 different genotypes grown under 7 sites in Asia was used for the simulation, integrating additional components into the model to explain the direct effect of [CO₂] on several physiological processes. The model predicted that the relative yield response to elevated [CO₂] (RY, the ratio of yield under 700 ppm [CO₂] to that under 360 ppm [CO₂]) increased with increasing N fertilizer, ranging from 1.12 at 4 g m⁻² N fertilizer to 1.22 at 20 g m⁻² N fertilizer, averaged overall genotypes and locations. The model also predicted a large genotypic variation in RY at the 20 g N treatment, ranging from 1.08 for ‘WAB450-I-B-P-38-HB’ to 1.41 for ‘Takanari’ averaged overall locations. Combining all genotypes grown at the 5N fertilization conditions, a close 1:1 relationship was predicted between RY and the relative [CO₂] response in spikelet number for crops with a small number of spikelets (less than 30,000 m⁻²) under the current atmospheric [CO₂] (n = 18, r = 0.89^***). In contrast, crops with a large number of spikelets under the current atmospheric [CO₂] showed a significantly larger RY than the relative [CO₂] response for spikelet number per unit area. The model predicted that crops with a larger number of spikelets under the current atmospheric [CO₂] derived great benefit from elevated [CO₂] by directly allocating increased carbohydrate to their large, vacant sink, whereas crops with a smaller number of spikelets primarily required an increased spikelet number to use the increased carbohydrate to fill grains. The simulation analyses suggested that rice with a larger sink capacity relative to source availability under the current atmospheric [CO₂] showed a larger yield response to elevated [CO₂], irrespective of whether genotype or N availability was the major factor for the large sink capacity under the current [CO₂]. The model predicted that the RY response to nitrogen was brought about through the N effects on spikelet number and non-structural carbohydrate accumulation. The genotypic variation in RY was related to differences in spikelet differentiation efficiency per unit plant N content. Further model validation about the effects of [CO₂] on growth processes is required to confirm these findings considering data from experimental studies.
