钙提高水稻幼苗抗旱性的研究

 将水稻种子用CaCl₂溶液浸种18 h后催芽、播种,培养13 d后进行渗透胁迫处理。Ca²⁺浸种的水稻幼苗在-0.5 MPa的渗透胁迫下地上部相对含水量提高,质膜相对透性降低,表明提高了抗旱性。异丙嗪(CPZ)和CPZ + Ca²⁺浸种亦提高了水稻抗旱性。渗透胁迫1 d后,Ca²⁺浸种的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性和抗坏血酸(AsA)、还原型谷胱甘肽(GSH)含量均提高。实验结果表明,Ca2+处理提高膜脂过氧化的保护能力和膜的稳定性可能是其提高水稻幼苗抗旱性的原因。     

外源钙对盐胁迫下玉米幼苗不同器官离子含量的影响

以郑单958为试验材料,采用水培法研究盐胁迫下外源钙对玉米幼苗根、生长叶、成熟叶叶鞘和叶片生长的影响及K+、Na+、Mg2+、Ca2+含量,探讨盐胁迫下外源钙对玉米幼苗不同器官离子含量的影响。结果表明,外源钙可缓解盐胁迫对玉米幼苗生长的抑制作用,促进干物质积累及根冠比的增加。外源钙可明显降低根系对Na+的吸收量,减少Na+向地上部的运输量;增加对K+、Mg2+、Ca2+的吸收量和运输量;降低盐胁迫下玉米幼苗各器官Na+/Ca2+值、Na+/K+值,表明Ca2+可改善玉米幼苗体内的离子平衡,缓解盐胁迫造成的伤害。     

赤眼鳟鱼种配合饲料适宜钙磷水平及其比例的研究

选取平均体重为4.05 g的赤眼鳟(Squaliobarbus curriculus)鱼种1080尾,随机分成9组,每组3个重复,每个重复置1个1.6 m×1.2 m×1.4 m的养殖池饲养。采用3×3析因试验,研究赤眼鳟鱼种对配合饲料中钙磷的需要量及适宜钙磷比。钙和磷各分别设3个水平:0.6%、1.2%和1.8%,共配制9种试验饲料喂养45 d。结果表明:饲料中钙、磷的交互作用对赤眼鳟的特定生长率有显著影响(P<0.05),但钙、磷的交互作用对饲料系数和成活率的影响不显著(P>0.05)。饲料中钙水平对赤眼鳟的特定生长率和饲料系数无显著影响(P>0.05),但磷水平对赤眼鳟的特定生长率和饲料系数有显著影响(P<0.05)。赤眼鳟对钙、磷的需要量分别为0.6%～1.8%、1.2%～1.8%,而适合赤眼鳟生长的钙磷比为1∶1～1∶3。试验各组赤眼鳟肌肉的钙、磷含量及钙磷比以及脊椎骨的钙磷比差异均不显著(P>0.05)。但饲料中钙水平对赤眼鳟脊椎骨中钙、磷含量影响显著(P<0.05),骨中钙、磷含量均随饲料中钙水平增加而增加。     

钙对枳生长发育及柑橘溃疡病抗性的影响

【背景】柑橘溃疡病是由柑橘黄单胞杆菌柑橘致病变种(Xanthomonas citri subsp. citri,Xcc)引起的细菌性病害,可侵染枝、叶、果,危害几乎所有的柑橘主栽品种。前期对湖南省39个柑橘园的调查结果显示柑橘果园土壤酸化和交换性钙缺乏严重,叶片中均存在钙缺乏现象。钙是植物所需大量元素之一,钙缺乏会造成植物营养失衡,生长势下降,植物免疫水平受影响。然而,钙元素对柑橘溃疡病抗性的影响尚不明确。【目的】分析对柑橘溃疡病敏感的枳(Poncirus trifoliata)在不同钙浓度处理下叶片注射接种Xcc后的致病差异,探讨钙在Xcc侵染枳叶片过程中的作用。【方法】采用沙培法对枳实生苗进行0、0.75、3、30 mmol·L^-1钙浓度处理,分别测定枳生长期的生物量、叶绿素a和b浓度、根系和叶片钙元素含量、观察根系活性氧(ROS)的产生和胼胝质沉积,并分析枳叶片接种Xcc后细胞壁合成相关基因及免疫途径相关基因诱导表达变化特征。【结果】以3 mmol·L^-1钙处理为对照,0、0.75和30 mmol·L^-1钙处理后,...

Non‐spherical pearl layers in the Polynesian ‘black‐lipped’ Pinctada margaritifera: The non‐nacreous deposits compared to microstructure of the shell growing edge

Cultivated pearls frequently exhibit morphological irregularities making obvious that mineral deposition was irregularly distributed onto nucleus surface. Taking advantage of experimental cultivations with short durations (from 10 days to few months), these irregular deposits predating occurrence of the nacre were investigated in Polynesian pearls by biochemical characterizations and a series of physical methods. Diversity in the resulting data suggests that various in‐depth alterations of the biomineralization mechanism may have occurred during the grafting process, leading to diversity in the biochemical pathways to nacreous deposition. This allows a precise discussion of current views about pearl formation. The “reversed shell theory” is formally disproved through point to point comparison with development of the shell growing edge. Similarity of pearl formation with “regeneration” or “shell repair” is also discussed, emphasizing the differences between these concepts.     

Effects of Calcium Lactate on the Development of Chicken Embryos in a Shell-less Culture System up to Day Seventeen of Incubation

This study examined the effects of calcium lactate on the development of chicken embryos in a shell-less culture system (cSLCS) up to the seventeenth day of incubation. In the presence of calcium lactate, a significant reduction in embryo viability was observed during the first week of incubation in cSLCS. On day 17 of embryo development, no significant difference was observed in the blood plasma calcium concentration or tibia bone density between cSLCS and intact control embryos, whereas the tibia length was significantly shorter in cSLCS embryos than in the intact control. These results suggest that calcium lactate supplementation in cSLCS supports bone formation in developing chicken embryos, but has adverse effects on the viability of embryos, particularly during the first week of embryo development.     

Phosphate adsorption by soils 1. Influence of time and ionic environment on phosphate adsorption

Abstract

The influence of reaction time and ionic environments, on phosphate adsorption were studied using one calcareous soil from India, and one calcareous and two latosols from Hawaii.

Phosphorus adsorption by soils has a initial rapid phase followed by a slow process. For plant nutrition studies, where emphasis is on P concentration of solutions from which plants derive P, isotherms should be constructed using data obtained after near‐equilibration has been attained. This condition does not obtain in a few hours and may require 6 days or more.

Calcium chloride as suspending electrolyte always gave lower phosphate solubility than when KC1 was used as electrolyte. Phosphate retention increased with increasing ionic strength. The necessity for obtaining clear supernatant solutions and the desirability for maintaining reasonable constant equilibrium conditions make 0.01 M CaCl₂ a reasonable choice for constructing P sorption isotherms, even though 0.01 M CaCl₂ is not representative of Ca concentrations in many soil solutions. Saturation extracts of soils investigated here were in the range 0.0002 to 0.005 M Ca.

Adsorption of calcium by highly weathered soils was high suggesting specific adsorption. Calcium adsorption was increased by phosphate additions to a Hydrandept.     

Cavity spot of carrots ‐ an association with soil ammonium

Abstract

Cavity spot incidence on sixteen samples of carrots from four fields was found to be correlated with soil ammonium (r = + .78***) and pH (r = ‐ .63**). The calcium concentration in the carrots related to soil ammonium (r = ‐ .65**), but not to cavity spot incidence. Soil nitrate and ammonium were positively associated with each other (r = + .63**), and their ratio (NH₄/NO₃) was very highly correlated with exchangeable manganese (r = + .93***) suggesting that anaerobicity was present.     

Mechanisms of Reproductive Thermotolerance in Gossypium hirsutum: The Effect of Genotype and Exogenous Calcium Application

Although photosynthetic thermotolerance has been investigated extensively in cotton leaves, reports on the biochemical influence of the pistil in promoting fertilization thermostability are limited. To evaluate the effect of temperature, genotype, and exogenous calcium application on fertilization and pistil biochemistry in cotton, thermosensitive (cv. ST4554 B2RF) and thermotolerant (cv. VH260) plants were grown under control (30/20 °C) or high‐temperature (38/20 °C) conditions during flowering, and exogenous CaCl₂ was applied to flowers 1 day prior to anthesis. Measured pistil parameters included fertilization efficiency; protein concentration; glutathione reductase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and NADPH oxidase activities; and ATP and calcium levels. Exogenous calcium had no effect on reproductive thermostability due to poor calcium uptake under high temperature. High temperature resulted in a 19.2 % decline in fertilization efficiency for ST4554 but no change in fertilization efficiency for VH260 relative to optimal temperature conditions. Pre‐stress glutathione reductase and SOD activities were higher in VH260 than ST4554 pistils, and calcium and ATP content were higher in VH260 than ST4554 pistils. It was concluded that pre‐stress antioxidant enzyme activity, ATP and calcium content of the pistil may be associated with reproductive thermotolerance in cotton. These findings should be confirmed in future experiments with a larger number of cultivars.
