不同生境黄顶菊种子萌发对干旱胁迫的响应

选择4种不同生境的黄顶菊种子,通过PEG-6000胁迫模拟干旱条件黄顶菊对干旱的耐受性,以期对其气候适应性评价和预测其可能入侵的区域提供参考依据。试验结果表明,干旱胁迫抑制黄顶菊种子的萌发,发芽率、萌发指数、活力指数和萌发胁迫指数均随PEG浓度的增加而降低。胚芽长随PEG浓度的增加呈先增加后降低的趋势,0.1 g/mL浓度处理达最大值。胚根长的变化有两种:路边和荒地种群随PEG浓度的增大呈先增加后降低的趋势,果园和河边种群随PEG浓度的增加而下降。当PEG浓度大于0.4 g/mL时,种子萌发完全受到抑制。耐旱性综合评价指数表明,不同生境黄顶菊耐旱性强弱依次为:果园路边河边荒地。     

肉种鸡鸡舍夏季通风降温试验

在两栋长145m，跨度5.4m的双坡式有窗封闭舍内，采用三层笼养方式分别饲养700只235日龄的艾维菌肉种鸡，将其中采用轴流式风机加湿帘纵向通风系统的一栋鸡舍作为试验组，而将另一栋采用窗户自然通风的鸡舍作为对照组，于夏季进行为期15d的试验，结果表明试验组与对照组的舍内温度在1d内明显不同，且舍外温度越高，试验组的舍内降温效果越好，相应地，试验组也减轻了肉种鸡的夏季热应激。     

Bright artificial light at night is associated with increased body mass,poor reproductive success and compromised disease tolerance in Australian budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus)

Artificial light at night (ALAN) can cause circadian disruption and result in adverse behavioral and ecological effects in free‐living birds, but studies on captive pet birds as companion animals have been infrequent. We studied the effects of exposure to bright ALAN on body mass, melatonin sulfate levels, reproduction and disease severity in Australian budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) kept in captivity. During the experiment, birds were kept under outdoor temperature, humidity and natural photoperiod from September to December. A total of 48 birds were equally split into 4 groups (6 mating pairs each) and concurrently exposed to ALAN of 200 lux with different duration (0, 30, 60 and 90 min). Monthly observations were recorded for all dependent parameters. ALAN exposure increased mass gain and suppressed melatonin levels in a dose‐dependent manner, especially during December. In addition, ALAN exposure in all duration groups decreased egg production and reduced hatchability from 61% ± 14% in the ALAN‐unexposed control group to 0% in the ALAN‐exposed birds. Disease severity was also found to increase in line with the duration of ALAN exposure. In captive M. undulatus, ALAN exposure was demonstrated to affect photoperiodic regulation with subsequent excess mass gain and reproduction impairment, and increased susceptibility to infections plausibly through duration dose‐dependent suppression of melatonin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to demonstrate a possible association between acute bright ALAN of increasing duration and both natural development of infections as well as reproductive cessation in captive birds. Our findings could be used to improve breeding conditions of captive birds.     

Effect of dietary nutmeg oil on heat‐stress tolerance‐related parameters in Korean native chicken reared under hot temperature

This study investigated the effect of dietary nutmeg oil (NO) on growth performance, blood parameters, lipid peroxidation and heat shock protein (HSP) 70 expression in Korean native chicken (KNC) reared under hot temperature. We allocated 273 meat‐type KNCs (Hanhyup‐3, 4‐week‐old, body weight [BW] = 539.93 ± 1.75 g) to the following three treatments with seven replicate pens (13 birds/pen) per treatment. Three treatment diets were as follows: (a) Control, basal diet without NO supplementation; (b) NO 250; and (c) NO 500, basal diet supplemented with 250 and 500 ppm NO respectively. Diets and water were provided ad libitum throughout the 6‐week feeding trial. During overall period (0–6 weeks), no differences (p > 0.05) were observed in BW gain (BWG), feed intake (FI) and feed conversion rate (FCR) among treatments. However, the FI at 0–3 weeks decreased (p < 0.05) quadratically with increasing NO levels. Most blood parameters did not differ (p > 0.05) among treatments, although the monocyte level of the NO 500 group was considerably lower (p > 0.05) than that of the other groups. Furthermore, dietary NO did not affect serum triglyceride, cholesterol, total protein, albumin, calcium, phosphorus and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (p > 0.05); however, it linearly decreased serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) level (p < 0.05). Additionally, serum malondialdehyde (MDA) concentration decreased (p < 0.05) and heart MDA concentration was lower (p = 0.08) with increasing dietary NO supplementation. After a 3‐hr heat (35°C) challenge, the rectal temperature (RT) reduced (p < 0.05) linearly with increasing NO levels. Dietary NO did not affect liver HSP70 (p > 0.05) gene expression. In conclusion, NO potentially enhanced the ability of chickens to alleviate heat stress. Furthermore, our findings suggest that lipid oxidation inhibition by dietary NO likely mediated the enhanced heat‐stress tolerance of the chickens.     

Protective immune responses induced by in ovo immunization with recombinant adenoviruses expressing spike (S1) glycoprotein of infectious bronchitis virus fused/co-administered with granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor

Infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) causes tremendous economic losses associated with production inefficiencies and mortality in poultry industry worldwide. In the present report, the recombinant adenoviruses expressing chicken granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and S1 gene of nephropathogenic IBV were constructed and characterized. Then, the immunological efficacy and protection against homologous IBV challenge were assessed in specific pathogen free (SPF) chickens. The results showed that the chickens vaccinated in ovo with rAd-S1, rAd-GM-S1 (GM-CSF fused with S1 using glycine linkers) and rAd-GM-CSF plus rAd-S1 (co-administered) developed specific anti-IBV HI antibodies. Moreover, the fusion of the GM-CSF markedly increased spleen cell proliferation and IFN-γ production while mild increased in IL-4 production, which demonstrated the enhancement of cell-mediated immune responses. Following challenge with IBV, the chickens in the group vaccinated with rAd-S1 fused or co-administered with GM-CSF had fewer nephropathic lesions and showed 100% protection as compared to that of rAd-S1 alone which showed 70% protection. It indicated that the single dose in ovo vaccination of the GM-CSF fused or co-administered with S1 of IBV could enhance significantly the humoral, cellular immune responses and provide complete protection against nephropathogenic IBV challenge. This finding may provide basic information for effective in ovo vaccines design against IBV.     

盐碱胁迫下黑麦草生长及离子微区分布特征

盐碱生境通过离子毒害和渗透胁迫等抑制植物的生长发育。离子微区分布调控主要通过调整盐分在不同部位的分布来减轻Na⁺等高浓度离子对重要组织器官的毒害作用,是盐碱胁迫下植物生存的重要策略之一。为探究黑麦草在盐碱胁迫下的离子微区分布特征,本研究通过水培法,采用不同盐碱浓度(0、50、100、200 mmol·L^-1)培养液处理黑麦草植株,考察其生长、离子吸收、运输选择性和微区分布变化,揭示黑麦草对盐碱胁迫的适应机制。结果表明:1) 盐碱胁迫下,植株的相对含水率、叶绿素含量逐渐降低,电解质外渗率显著升高;当盐碱浓度大于100 mmol·L^-1时,根长、株高和生物量均显著降低,即黑麦草的耐盐阈值是100~200 mmol·L^-1;2) 盐碱浓度为50 mmol·L^-1时,植株根中K⁺/Na⁺较空白升高了48.3%,Ca²⁺/Na⁺升高了54.1%,说明黑麦草根部可通过增强K⁺、Ca²⁺的吸收来维持细胞渗透压并缓解高浓度Na⁺的毒性;3) 在50~200 mmol·L^-1的盐碱浓度下,黑麦草叶片中可溶性组分及细胞壁中Na⁺的相对含量较对照显著增加,但细胞器内Na⁺的相对含量降低,说明叶部将Na⁺富集在液泡和细胞壁中,以减少Na⁺对细胞器的毒害作用;4) 叶片微观结构的SEM电镜图片显示,盐碱胁迫下叶片表皮增厚、导管数量减少和孔径缩小。综上所述,盐碱胁迫下黑麦草不同器官的适应机理不同,根部主要通过强化K⁺、Ca²⁺的吸收,降低对Na⁺的吸收,并将Na⁺区隔化在液泡中以降低离子毒害和维持渗透调节,而叶片主要通过将Na⁺区隔在液泡及细胞壁中,以及微观结构的变化来保护细胞器免受离子毒害。本研究可为黑麦草的耐盐碱适应机制及其在盐碱土上的种植提供理论依据。

Effects of Exogenous Glycine Betaine on the Physiological Characteristics in Medicago sativa Seedlings under Low-temperature Stress北大核心CSCD

In this study,the 'Ganong 5th' alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) was used as experimental material,and two application methods (leaf application,root application) and six exogenous betaine concentrations (0,10,20,30,40 and 50 mmol·L-1) were used to treat the seedlings of alfalfa. Plant growth and related physiological indexes were measured after 7 days of low temperature (4?) stress,and the physiological mechanism of exogenous betaine to alleviate the low temperature stress of alfalfa was explored. The results showed that exogenous GB alleviated the loss of plant height,root length,leaf dry weight,root dry weight and chlorophyll content,and increase the content of soluble sugar (SS) and free proline (Pro),and reduced the increase in leaf relative membrane permeability and MDA content. Exogenous GB increased antioxidant enzyme activities and non-enzymatic antioxidant content. And also,exogenous GB enhanced the osmotic adjustment capacity of the plant by increasing endogenous GB accumulation and BADH activity. These results indicated that exogenous GB enhanced the resistance of Medicago sativa to low-temperature stress under low temperature adjustment. The membership function analysis indicated that spraying 30 mmol·L-1 GB on the leaves and spraying 40 mmol·L-1 GB on the roots had the best effect on alleviating the low-temperature stress of alfalfa seedlings. © 2019 Ｊｏｕｒｎａｌ ｏｆ Ｒｅｆｒｉｇｅｒａｔｉｏｎ.
