Influence of Low Light Irradiance on Grain Filling in Rice (Oryza saliva L.) cultivars

Time course of grain filling pattern in two rice (Oryza sativa L.) cultivars, grown under normal and low light intensities, was studied. The number of spikelets, partially filled grains and high density grains were monitored at a 5 day interval during grain filling period from uniform panicles tagged at anthesis. The low light tolerant cultivar Swarnaprabha had more high density grains and less partially filled grains throughout the grain filling period and at harvest compared to cultivar Ratna under both normal and low light intensities. Further, the opening of spikelets in two flushes in Swarnaprabha seemed to result in a more efficient resource allocation and hence better yield as compared to Ratna, in which the opening of spikelets was in a single flush on day 10.     

Reproductive roles predict sexual dimorphism in internal and external morphology of lake whitefish,Coregonus clupeaformis

Abstract – The different reproductive roles of the sexes can predict the direction and magnitude of sexual dimorphism of external and internal morphology. Males should have enlarged structures that enhance the acquisition of mating opportunities, whereas females are predicted to have enlarged organs that are associated with the production of eggs. We tested these predictions in male and female lake whitefish, a species in which both sexes have similar overall body size and shape. After controlling for body size, male lake whitefish had significantly longer jaws and pectoral and pelvic fins, larger hearts, and more muscle than females. Sexual dimorphism in relative muscle mass may be one of the most fundamental morphological differences between males and females. Females had relatively heavier livers than males. Because the liver is important for the breakdown of fats and vitellogenesis, selection should favour an enlarged liver in females for the processing of energy and the production of large numbers of eggs.     

铣削刀具不同磨损期振动信号的分维特征

提出了应用铣削刀具磨损工作状态下的振动加速度信号的关联维数来描述刀具不同磨损状态下的特征,进而实现对状态的监测、识别。试验证明,刀具磨损在相同状态下,振动信号具有相近的关联维数,在不同状态下则有明显的关联维数。因此,关联维数不仅可以作为状态监测与识别的重要依据,而且可以作为其他特征提取方法的补充。

内蒙孪井灌区地下水补给及水资源优化配置研究

系统分析了内蒙孪井灌区的水文地质条件和包气带水文地质特征,对地下潜水深埋区降雨(灌溉)入渗补给的滞后性进行了分析,估算出了孪井灌区降雨(灌溉)入渗补给的滞后时间;建立水资源优化配置模型,利用GAMS软件优化种植结构,减小整个灌区的灌溉入渗量;最后利用VisualMODFLOW软件预报了现状灌溉和优化灌溉条件下的地下水水位。研究表明:深厚包气带对降雨(灌溉)入渗补给具有明显的滞后分配作用,孪井灌区岩性下的入渗补给滞后时间约为240-360d;实行水资源优化配置后,由于灌溉入渗量减小,水位上升幅度明显减小,减缓了土壤盐渍化的发展进度,但是仍然存在土壤次生盐渍化问题,必须改变现行灌水方式或者采取适宜工程措施加以防治。     

土壤速效磷浓度对白三叶构型及能量分配的影响

土壤速效磷浓度对白三叶地上部的垂直分布影响显著。结果表明,白三叶构件密度、分枝密度、分枝角度及总能量均与土壤速效磷浓度呈极显著正相关,节间长度则与之呈极显著负相关。叶片和匍匐茎的能量与土壤速效磷浓度呈正比。花序的能量则随着有效磷浓度的增加而减少。茎能量分配随着有效磷浓度的增加呈铃形曲线型变化。     

A comparative study on Striga hermonthica interaction with a sensitive and a tolerant sorghum cultivar

In this study, the effects of Striga hermonthica (Del.) Benth. on a sensitive and a tolerant sorghum genotype were investigated, and the underlying tolerance mechanisms were distinguished. The sensitive sorghum cv. CK60-B and the tolerant sorghum landrace Tiemarifing were grown in pots with and without seed infestation. Both sorghum genotypes responded to infection by the parasite, but it was evident that CK60-B was more strongly affected than Tiemarifing. Sorghum plant height, final leaf number, green leaf area, kernel yield, number of kernels and 1000-kernel weight were significantly reduced by infection, which also had a marked effect on the phenological development of CK60-B; the majority of the plants remained vegetative and, in the remaining plants, flowering was delayed by about 2 weeks. No effect on the phenological development of Tiemarifing was observed. The tolerant landrace showed significantly lower and delayed emergence of S. hermonthica than the sensitive cultivar, and this could be explained by a delay in the onset of attachment. Significantly higher numbers of reproductive parasitic plants were found in the pots with the sensitive sorghum plants. It is concluded that differences in root architecture and the resulting early infection and higher S. hermonthica numbers are partly responsible for the stronger effects of the parasite on the sensitive cultivar.
