草地划区轮牧饲养原则及设计

为了推进北方草地可持续集约放牧饲养管理,促进完善划区轮牧实验设计及目的,本文总结了放牧国际划区轮牧的10条原则:单位时间的产草量确定载畜率,拔节期指示春季放牧开始时间,开始恢复再生的时间决定放牧时间天数,放牧间隔日数决定放牧频次,计算确定区块数及区块面积,满足牲畜采食行为,充分利用饲草质量和营养,保证牲畜饮水充足,环境友好、易执行、可操作、有弹性。在此基础上,设计了1个划区轮牧实践参考方案,并论述了划区轮牧目标及管理评价标准,讨论了1条北方草地可持续集约养羊畜牧业的发展途径。     

中国主栽水稻品种微卫星标记数据库的初步构建

以前期筛选的微卫星标记为基础,并在4个染色体上增加新标记,进一步检测了63个主栽常规稻品种和杂交稻亲本,推荐了24个微卫星标记（每条染色体2个）作为水稻品种鉴别的标记;除了63个常规稻品种和杂交稻亲本外,这24个标记还应用于检测41个主栽杂交稻组合,并确定了各个标记在试验材料中检测到的等位基因类型。通过杂交稻组合与其亲本的标记匹配性检验,确认了杂交稻母本的高真实性,提高了恢复系数据的可靠性,剔除了1个假杂交稻,建立了103个水稻材料×24个标记的主栽水稻品种微卫星标记数据库,并分析了数据库中各个标记、各组材料的多态性表现。此外,还讨论了材料真实性和典型性对数据库构建的影响,提出了水稻品种间差异判别标准的建议及其应用风险和解决途径。

采用MAMA-PCR法对72株已知突变菌株的突变情况进行了检测。结果，有2种gyrA83位突变：TCG→TTG和TCG缺失；4种gyrA87位突变：GAC→AAC、GAC→GGC、GAC→TAC和GAC→CAC；1种parC80位突变：AGC→ATC以及4种parC84位突变：GAA→AAA、GAA→GCA、GAA→GGA和GAA→GTA。采用同样的方法，对38株未知突变菌株的检测结果显示，gyrA83、gyrA87、parC 80和parC84位的突变检出的正确率分别为97．4％、94．7％、81．6％和94．7％。结果表明，MAMA-PCR有望成为监测耐氟喹诺酮类药物大肠埃希氏菌的分子生物学常规方法。     

Analysis of human infectious avian influenza virus: Hemagglutinin genetic characteristics in Asia and Africa from 2004 to 2009

In the present study, we used nucleotide and protein sequences of avian influenza virus H5N1, which were obtained in Asia and Africa, analyzed HA proteins using ClustalX1.83 and MEGA4.0, and built a genetic evolutionary tree of HA nucleotides. The analysis revealed that the receptor specificity amino acid of A/HK/213/2003, A/Turkey/65596/2006 and etc mutated into QNG, which could bind with á–2, 3 galactose and á–2, 6 galactose. A mutation might thus take place and lead to an outbreak of human infections of avian influenza virus. The mutations of HA protein amino acids from 2004 to 2009 coincided with human infections provided by the World Health Organization, indicating a “low–high–highest–high–low” pattern. We also found out that virus strains in Asia are from different origins: strains from Southeast Asia and East Asia are of the same origin, whereas those from West Asia, South Asia and Africa descend from one ancestor. The composition of the phylogenetic tree and mutations of key site amino acids in HA proteins reflected the fact that the majority of strains are regional and long term, and virus diffusions exist between China, Laos, Malaysia, Indonesia, Azerbaijan, Turkey and Iraq. We would advise that pertinent vaccines be developed and due attention be paid to the spread of viruses between neighboring countries and the dangers of virus mutation and evolution.     

绵羊FecB突变检测方法的建立及高繁滩羊核心群的构建

旨在建立快速、高效、精准检测FecB突变的荧光qPCR技术,为滩羊多羔性能研究、群体改良及肉用多羔滩羊新品系培育提供技术支撑。基于荧光qPCR技术基本原理,设计特异性引物对,开发基于荧光qPCR检测绵羊FecB突变的方法;对85只已知FecB基因型的健康、适繁雌性滩羊血液基因组DNA样品分别采用PCR-Sanger测序法、TaqMan探针法和荧光qPCR法进行FecB基因分型,统计3种方法的准确率;采用开发的荧光qPCR方法对939只健康、适繁滩羊进行FecB基因分型,统计不同FecB基因型经产母羊的产羔率。结果表明,使用TaqMan探针法、PCR-Sanger测序法和开发的荧光qPCR法对已知FecB基因型样品检测的比较中,荧光qPCR法对各基因型鉴定的准确度均达100%,高于前两者。939只滩羊FecB基因分型结果显示,6只滩羊为FecB突变纯合型（BB）、57只为杂合型（B+）、876只为野生型（++）,BB型、B+型和++型滩羊的基因型频率分别为0.64%、6.07%和93.29%,其中B等位基因频率为0.04,+等位基因频率为0.96;监测母羊群体的产羔数发现,FecB突变纯合型滩羊产羔率为166.67%,突变杂合型滩羊产羔率为153.12%,野生型滩羊产羔率为105.78%,纯合突变型和杂合突变型母羊群体的产羔率极显著高于野生型群体（P<0.01）。综上所述,与TaqMan探针法及PCR-Sanger测序法相比,本研究建立的绵羊FecB突变荧光qPCR分型方法具有简便易行、廉价高效的优点,在绵羊的分子选育中具有较高应用价值;同时本研究证实了滩羊FecB突变可显著提高母羊产羔率,为多羔滩羊的分子选育提供了坚实的技术支撑。     

Analysis of genomic mutation and immunohistochemistry of platelet‐derived growth factor receptors in canine vascular tumours

We examined whether mutation of the platelet‐derived growth factor receptor protein tyrosine kinase (PDGFR)‐α and PDGFR‐β genes contributes to their overexpression in canine vascular tumours. Genomic sequences of trans‐ or juxtamembrane regions of PDGFR‐α and PDGFR‐β were analysed with immunohistochemical staining and polymerase chain reaction‐direct sequencing using DNA from paraffin‐embedded neoplastic tissues of 27 hemangiosarcomas (HSAs) and 20 hemangiomas (HAs). Immunohistochemically, 75% of the HA cases were positive for PDGFR‐α and almost most of the HA cases were negative for PDGFR‐β. Of the HSA cases, 55.6% were negative for PDGFR‐α and 63% were strongly positive for PDGFR‐β. Among the HA cases, 1 missense mutation was detected in PDGFR‐α exon 18 and 1 in PDGFR‐β exon 17. Two HSA cases had missense mutations in exon 14 and 1 in exon 17 of PDGFR‐β. Thus, genomic mutation of trans‐ or juxtamembrane regions of PDGFRs was not the main mechanism driving the activation of receptors in HSA and HA.     

电容法估测植物根系生物量研究

以玉米(Zea mays)和黄豆(Glycine max)为材料,通过对其根系电容的测量试验,结合根系收获法,探讨不同测试频率下根系电容值和根系生物量的关系,以期为进一步补充和完善植物根系特征快速无损检测技术提供一定的参考价值.结果表明:玉米、黄豆2种作物根系电容均随根系生物量的增加而增大;4种频率下(0.1, 0.12, 1和10 kHz)根系电容值与生物量均成极显著线性正相关(P <0.01);回归分析表明,1 kHz频率下2种作物根系电容值随生物量变化趋势较稳定,分辨率较高,回归方程的拟合度最好(R >0.9).因此,4种频率条件下,玉米、黄豆根系的电容特性都能较好地反映根系生物量的变化,其中,1 kHz为最适测定频率.     

Novel Canine Tumour Suppressor Gene p53 Mutations in Cases of Skin and Mammary Neoplasms

Exons 4 to 8 of the tumour suppressor gene p53 were analysed in 25 skin and 25 mammary tumours of 50 dogs. A 1 bp deletion (ACCAC) was detected in codon 89 in exon 4 in a squamous cell carcinoma. A missense mutation CGCCAC (argininehistidine) was present in codon 162 in exon 5 in a mammary adenocarcinoma. Moreover, a silent mutation occurred in codon 103 (serine) of exon 4 in a mammary adenoma. The somatic nature of the three mutations was demonstrated.     

Mechanisms of viral emergence

A number of virologic and environmental factors are involved in the emergence and re-emergence of viral disease. Viruses do not conservatively occupy a single and permanent ecological niche. Rather, due to their intrinsic capacity for genetic change, and to the evolvability of fitness levels, viruses display a potential to parasitize alternative host species. Mutation, recombination and genome segment reassortment, and combination of these molecular events, produce complex and phenotypically diverse populations of viruses, which constitute the raw material on which selection acts. The majority of emerging viral diseases of humans have a zoonotic origin. Sociologic and ecologic factors produce diverse and changing environments in which viral subpopulations have ample opportunities to be selected from intrinsically heterogeneous viral populations, particularly in the case of RNA viruses. In this manner, new human, animal and plant viruses have emerged periodically and, from all evidence, will continue to emerge. This article reviews some of the mechanisms that have been identified in viral emergence, with a focus on the importance of genetic variation of viruses, and on the general concept of biological complexity.
