Expression and functional analysis of the Follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3) gene in the sheep ovary during the oestrous cycle

Follistatin-like 3 (FSTL3) is a regulator of cellular apoptosis and was previously identified via RNA-Seq to be associated with follicular development in mammalian ovaries. However, the mechanism underlying the FSTL3 regulation of oestrus in sheep remained poorly understood. In this study, the oestrogen (E2) and progesterone (P4) concentrations in blood were detected, and the expression level and functional analysis of FSTL3 in the ovary were studied during the different reproductive stage in Aohan fine wool sheep (seasonal breeding breed in China). The concentrations of E2 and P4 at the anestrus were significantly lower compared to dioestrus, proestrus and oestrus stages. Higher expression levels of FSTL3 were observed in the sheep ovary, hypothalamus, and thyroid. During different reproductive stages, higher expression levels were found during the stages of dioestrus and proestrus, while lower levels were found during the oestrus and anestrus stages. Functional analysis of FSTL3 was performed in primary granulosa cells (GCs) of sheep. The concentration of E2 increased significantly after RNAi interference of FSTL3, while the P4 level decreased. FSTL3 can decrease P4 levels, which might be involved in mediating oestrous cycle in sheep.     

Small‐scale reseeding trials in arid rangeland: Effects of rainfall,clearing and grazing on seedling survival

Abstract

Seeds of four indigenous plant species were sown in 1990 in small‐scale field trials in an arid, non‐seasonal rainfall region of the southern Karoo, South Africa. Seeds of a winter annual Tetragonia echinata (Aizoaceae) showed innate dormancy but those of three perennial shrubs Pteronia empetrifolia, P. pollens and Osteospermum sinuatum (all Asteraceae) emerged only after the first substantial autumn rain. In good rangeland, seedling growth and survival was better in clearings than in undisturbed vegetation. In poor, continuously‐grazed rangeland, sheep had more influence on growth and survival of O. sinuatum seedlings than did vegetation clearing. These findings should be tested by means of large‐scale trials replicated in time and space.

湘中农区壶天山羊的生产性能及生态养殖技术研究

通过采用测定200只壶天山羊的体尺体重,统计66胎产仔情况、屠宰6只成年羊,将8只成年杂交羊(壶天羊×马头羊)和50只成年壶天羊作对比等办法,从而真实系统地总结了该山羊的各项生产性能.对以"七化四结合"为主要内容的山羊生态养殖关键技术进行了研究,提出了"羊→沼→稻(菜或草)"生产模式和"企业 农户"的经营模式.

薰衣草在甘肃定西干旱区的栽培适应性

为扩大香料植物薰衣草(Lavandula spp.)在我国西北的栽培范围,于2008年从北京植物园引进其种子,并于2008-2009年在甘肃定西地区进行栽培适应性试验。结果表明:1)薰衣草出苗率低但成活率高,平均出苗率和成活率分别为19.2%和97.4%;2)生长发育较快且为早花早实物种,1龄和2龄苗平均株高达13.5和44.1 cm,当年个别植株开花,第2年普遍开花结实;3)移栽成活率高,幼苗移栽和1龄苗定植移栽成活率分别为83.3%和99.8%;4)耐寒性和抗旱性强,当年生苗在定西能自然越冬,1龄苗能忍耐1个多月的持续干旱气候条件。研究初步认为,薰衣草能适应定西的气候和土壤条件,在该区具灌溉条件的地方有引种栽培的可能性,但大面积栽培有待继续试验研究。     

郏县红牛养殖场秋冬季的饲养管理

在郏县红牛养殖业发展的过程中,由于秋冬季节的昼夜温差比较大,经常会导致郏县红牛患病。秋冬季节郏县红牛的肠道功能比较差,易出现营养吸收不良和抗病力下降的问题,导致母红牛的生产性能降低,其犊牛的成活率下降,而郏县红牛群也会出现各种传染性疾病。因此在气温下降的背景下,秋冬季节的饲养管理对促进郏县红牛场养殖业的健康发展尤为重要。
