黄河三角洲重度盐碱地甜高粱品种筛选和配套施肥技术研究[ ]

本研究以中科院科甜系列甜高粱为研究对象,针对重度盐碱地,从种植品种、肥料配比和有机肥类别三个方面进行试验,目的为了探索重度盐碱地甜高粱的种植技术,为黄河三角洲重度盐碱地甜高粱的栽培推广提供理论依据和技术支持。结果表明:（1）种植资源评比试验:在重度盐碱地对科甜13（KT13）、22（KT22）、41（KT41）、42（KT42）、43（KT43）5个甜高粱种质资源进行资源评比,KT41产量最高,达到82.87 t/hm2,KT13其次,产量为66.28 t/hm2。（2）重度盐碱地肥料配比试验:底肥施加300kg/hm2复合肥和15t/ hm2有机肥（H1Y1）、30t/ hm2有机肥（H0Y2）;300kg /hm2复合肥和30t/ hm2有机肥（H1Y2）均能显著提升重度盐碱地甜高粱产量,H0Y2处理产量最高,达到73.16t/hm2,相比于对照增幅达到64%。（3）重度盐碱地有机肥类别试验:施加牛粪、有机肥和海藻肥均能提升重度盐碱地中甜高粱产量,在相同投入成本下,海藻肥处理的产量最高为67.88 t/hm2,相比于对照处理增幅39.8%。综上考虑,在黄河三角洲重度盐碱地可选择KT13和KT41两个耐盐碱资源,底肥中施加15 t/hm2以上的普通有机肥或者牛粪同时配施复合肥,有机肥可选择微生物有效活菌数≥5亿/g的高品质海藻肥替代普通有机肥,进行甜高粱种植能获得较好的产量。     

巨胚杂交稻的农艺及产量性状

以2个巨胚不育系及其相应的2个非巨胚不育系,3个巨胚恢复系、2个非巨胚恢复系为材料,配制一套共20个半双列杂交组合,研究巨胚(ge)基因对杂交稻的若干生物学特性的影响。结果表明:ge基因对杂交稻主要农艺性状和部分产量性状没有显著影响,但ge基因使杂交稻的千粒重、容重、理论产量和实际产量下降,且只有在纯合时才有显著表达。含杂合geGE基因也使其上述性状有所下降,但幅度明显小于gege纯合基因。     

22份百脉根种质资源表型数量性状的遗传多样性分析

本研究对22份百脉根(Lotus corniculatus)种质资源的11个表型性状指标进行多样性研究分析。结果表明：除种宽外,22份百脉根种质间的表型性状均存在显著变异,表型性状指标变异幅度为12.11%～69.48%,各表型性状之间存在显著或极显著相关性。主成分分析表明,茎长、株高、冠幅、种子周长、种子长、种子宽和种子长宽比的主成分载荷较高,是造成百脉根种质表型性状差异的主要因素。根据聚类分析将22份百脉根种质分为3个类群,其中,第Ⅰ类群种质的种子小,但植株高大,第Ⅱ类群种质的种子小且植株矮小,第Ⅲ类群种质的种子和种荚大但植株矮小。综合评价11和12号这2份种质资源整体表现优良,且归属于第Ⅲ类群,具有种荚和种子较大的特性,可作为选育种子高产品种的目标亲本利用。本研究结果可为百脉根的种质应用和品种选育提供理论参考。     

Fat-Tailed Sheep Traits as Affected by Docking

The literature mostly indicates that docking fat-tailed lambs initially reduces growth but that post-weaning growth and feed conversion efficiency then increase. The amount of fat deposited, the total separable lean meat to fat ratio and the meat quality all increase, while the percentage of bone in the carcase either decreases or does not change in the carcases of the docked lambs. Wool growth and characteristics are, in general, not affected and reproductive traits in ewes and lambs are improved by docking. The rectal temperature, respiration rate and pulse rate are decreased following docking. The concentrations of immunoreactive beta-endorphin and cortisol in the plasma and the incidence of foot stamping and restlessness, as indicators of stress, increase after docking. Other constituents of the blood are not significantly altered following docking or by the methods of docking. Docking of fat-tailed sheep using rubber rings at one day of age can be recommended. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Molecular genetics of the adrenocortical axis and breeding for robustness

The concept of robustness refers to the combination of a high production potential and a low sensitivity to environmental perturbations. The importance of robustness-related traits in breeding objectives is progressively increasing toward the production of animals with a high production level in a wide range of climatic conditions and production systems, together with a high level of animal welfare. Current strategies to increase robustness include selection for "functional traits," such as skeletal and cardiovascular integrity, disease resistance, and mortality at various stages. It is also possible to use global evaluation of sensitivity to the environment (eg reaction norm analysis or canalization), but these techniques are difficult to implement in practice. The glucocorticoid hormones released by the adrenal cortex exert a wide range of effects on metabolism, the cardiovascular system, inflammatory processes, and brain function, for example. Protein catabolism toward energy production and storage (lipids and glycogen) supports their pivotal role in stress responses aiming at the adaptation and survival of individuals under strong environmental pressure. Large individual variations have been described in adrenocortical axis activity, with important physiopathological consequences. In terms of animal production, higher cortisol levels have negative effects on growth rate and feed efficiency and increase the fat:lean ratio of carcasses. On the contrary, cortisol has positive effects on functional traits and adaptation. Intense selection for lean tissue growth and more generally high protein output during the past decades has concomitantly reduced cortisol production, which may be responsible for the negative effects of selection on functional traits. In this paper, we review experimental evidence suggesting that the balance between production and functional traits was modified in favor of improved robustness by selecting animals with higher adrenocortical axis activity, as well as the molecular genetic tools that can be used to fine-tune this objective.

m6A表观遗传修饰及其调控机制研究进展

N⁶-甲基腺嘌呤（N⁶-methyladenosine,m⁶A）修饰是现阶段发现的真核生物体内最广泛的RNA表观遗传修饰方式,近年来研究显示,m⁶A在真核生物间具有较高的保守性,在基因表达及细胞命运调控中发挥着关键作用,且对mRNA的可变剪接、定位、翻译及稳定性有较大影响。现有的m⁶A修饰检测技术可以较为准确、高效地检测出生物样本中的m⁶A修饰丰度,并能快速、简便地进行m⁶A修饰的高通量测序,以及在单碱基分辨率下检测m⁶A修饰在RNA上的位置。尽管m⁶A修饰相关调控蛋白对畜禽复杂经济性状的影响近年来已有少量报道,但其中的作用机制仍未得到充分阐明。大量人类及模式生物上的研究表明,m⁶A修饰相关蛋白能够影响生长发育、繁殖、热应激、炎症及癌症等生物学过程,为探究畜禽m⁶A修饰参与复杂性状调控机制提供一定的借鉴意义。作者主要从m⁶A甲基化修饰相关蛋白（甲基转移酶、去甲基化酶及读取蛋白）、m⁶A检测技术、m⁶A对哺乳动物复杂性状的调控机制、m⁶A与其他表观修饰的互作机制等方面进行阐述,为m⁶A在畜禽遗传育种中的应用提供新的见解。
