Endogenous organic acid variations in different chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes

Abstract

Changes in cropping systems during the past century have led to selective pressure on weed flora. Species and ecotypes with characteristics enabling them to survive in high-input farmland have increased in numbers, at the cost of plants lacking these characters. Since the 1950s, the perennial weed species Cirsium arvense (L.) Scop. and Sonchus arvensis L. have mainly been controlled by the herbicide group synthetic auxins like MCPA. During recent decades, C. arvense seems to have become less susceptible to MCPA in both Europe and North America but the reasons are unclear.

To study the importance of selective pressure on weed ecotypes, both short- and long-term studies were carried out in Uppsala, Sweden. The first consisted of two growth-characteristic greenhouse experiments. The hypothesis was that ecotypes of C. arvense and S. arvensis from high-input farmland were different and displayed a more competitive growth pattern than did ecotypes from low-input farmland.

The second study was a field experiment with four ecotypes of C. arvense from low-input farmland to study if selective pressure was in force, over a period of six years. The four ecotypes had different growth characteristics and herbicide sensitivity and they were exposed to crop competition and MCPA treatments during the experimental period. The hypothesis was that ecotypes with a more competitive growth pattern and MCPA tolerance would survive to a greater extent than would other ecotypes. For C. arvense, the results from the growth-characteristic experiment showed that the growth pattern of ecotypes from high-input farmland differed, showing a more directly elongated growth pattern with fewer spines on the leaves compared with ecotypes from low-input farmland, which usually were of rosette-type. Results from the field experiment with C. arvense showed that after six years MCPA-sensitive and/or rosette-type ecotypes had almost disappeared while ecotypes with a more directly elongated growth pattern and less sensitive to MCPA survived to a much greater extent. The conclusion was therefore that when exposed to selective pressure like crop competition and herbicide treatments, ecotypes of C. arvense with a more directly elongated growth pattern and less sensitive to herbicide treatment survived to a greater extent compared with ecotypes missing these traits. Ecotypes from high-input farmland had generally fewer leaf spines than did ecotypes from low-input farmland. This may suggest a trade-off between spine formation and rapid competitive growth. In the growth-characteristic experiment with S. arvensis, no differences between ecotypes from high- and low-input farmland regarding growth characteristics or leaf spines could be detected. This might partly be due to a lower exposure of S. arvensis to selective pressure compared with C. arvense, since S. arvensis generally is less sensitive to MCPA.     

抗应激药物对蛋鸡育雏效果的研究

300只母雏随机均分为6组，其中Ⅵ组为对照组，Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ组钦水中分别添加1g/L速补-14、50mg/L维生素C 500mg/L丁二酸钠、100mg/L维生素C和100mg/L丁二酸钠，V组饲料中添加0.15%Vc银翘片，每组两个重复。结果表明：5个试验组鸡的日增重、饲料转化率、均匀度、成活率均明显高于对照组（P＜0.05)。综合比较5种抗应激药物添加效果是：银翘片C＞维生素C＞维生素C 丁二酸钠＞速补-14＞丁二酸钠。Vc银翘片是值得开发的中草药饮料添加剂。     

玉米籽皮稀酸水解液脱毒发酵制备丁二酸的可行性

丁二酸是一种重要的碳四平台化合物,利用非粮生物质替代淀粉制备丁二酸可保证粮食安全并降低原料成本。玉米籽皮是一种廉价的非粮生物质,该文采用稀酸水解玉米籽皮制备混合糖液,并对玉米籽皮稀酸水解液的脱毒条件进行了优化,优化结果为：活性炭用量1%（m/V）、pH4.0、作用温度30℃、作用时间30 min。在此工艺条件下,水解液的脱色率为92.27%,糠醛脱除率75%,5-羟甲基糠醛脱除率53%,多酚类化合物脱除率98%,总糖损失低于5%。经过脱毒处理后,产琥珀酸放线杆菌 NJ113均能利用水解液中的葡萄糖、木糖、阿拉伯糖,培养基总糖浓度为50 g/L时,丁二酸分批发酵的质量收率可达0.68 g/g,浓度可达34.2 g/L,生产强度达0.83 g/(L·h),总糖浓度为68.2 g/L时,丁二酸质量收率仍可达0.62 g/g,浓度42.3 g/L,生产强度0.98 g/(L·h)。发酵试验表明脱毒的玉米籽皮稀酸水解液作为碳源厌氧发酵制备丁二酸具有可行性。
