A comprehensive study on occurrence records of African neglected and underutilized weed species,Cleome gynandra L. (cat's whiskers) validating the ecogeographical range expansion in West Bengal,India

Cleome gynandra L., commonly known as cat's whiskers, is an erect, branched, annual herb, belonging to the family Cleomaceae. The species is thought to have originated in tropical Africa and Southeast Asia, and thereafter have spread to other tropical and subtropical countries in the Northern and Southern hemispheres. Cat's whiskers is a highly nutritious vegetable and also possesses numerous medicinal values, yet it is considered as a neglected and underutilized weed species (NUS) in most of the world. In India, C. gynandra is recorded in Assam, Gujarat, Kerala, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, and Uttar Pradesh. There is no earlier report of this species in West Bengal, India. This report is the first record of natural occurrence of C. gynandra in West Bengal, India. The main objective of this report is to provide valid information about the invasion and naturalization of this species in a new geographical area supported with suitable data. Global distribution data of cat's whiskers was retrieved from available web resources and mapped using Quantum GIS software in order to validate the de novo nature of occurrence of this species in this region.     

紫斑牡丹种子发育期油脂合成积累的源汇基因协同表达

为研究紫斑牡丹种子油脂合成积累与相关基因(GPD1, DGAT1和DGAT2)表达间的关系,以四个不同发育期(6月20日, 7月7日, 7月17日和7月27日)的种子为材料,氯仿甲醇法测定种子含油率,实时荧光定量PCR方法分析基因的表达模式,分析相关基因在不同发育期种子中的表达差异及其对油脂合成积累的影响。结果表明:(1)不同发育期紫斑牡丹种子含油率呈不断升高趋势,在6月20日至7月27日的38 d内,从4.21%上升到18.38%;(2)调控油脂合成的源基因GPD1和汇基因DGAT1与DGAT2在发育前期的紫斑牡丹种子中的表达呈快速上升趋势,且表达量均在7月7日达到最高值;随后源汇基因的表达均不断降低。紫斑牡丹发育前期种子中源(GPD1)汇(DGAT1和DGAT2)基因的协同高表达,既促进合成了更多的TAG前体G3P,又促进了TAG积累。源基因GPD1表达量增加了2.44倍,汇基因DGAT1和DGAT2分别增加5.16倍和3.83倍,促成种子含油量增加了2.77倍。这可为深入理解紫斑牡丹种子油脂合成积累提供理论依据,对后续开展高油紫斑牡丹的分子育种具有重要意义。     

Spatiotemporal dynamics of plant diversity in response to farmers’ evolved settlements in Shanghai

The expansion of the Shanghai metropolitan region has caused a substantial amount of farmland to become urbanized. Most farmers have lost their land and have been relocated from villages to new collective settlements, resulting in dramatic changes in the landscape pattern. This study explores the effects of this transformation on the spatiotemporal dynamics of plant diversity. We randomly sampled 22 plots comprising 294 subplots within two crossed transects that pass through 5 traditional villages and 17 new settlements. The results show that resettlement has exerted significant effects on plant species diversity, both temporally and spatially. Temporally, the Gleason index (GI) of total species over time could be ordered as 1990s > 2000s > 1980s, while Shannon’s diversity index (SHDI) was ordered as 2000s > 1990s > 1980s. Spatially, the GI of total species decreased from the urban center to the exurbs or from the inside to the outside of the built-up areas. SHDI was highest in suburbs or ecotones. Furthermore, the GI of total species had significant correlations with those of indigenous species, exotic species, and planted species (r > 0.90, p < 0.01) as well as with the region and location of settlement (r < −0.48, p < 0.01). Both indigenous and exotic species had significant positive correlations with total species richness at 0.01 levels. Generally, compared with traditional settlements, new settlements displayed greater richness and diversity of plant species, primarily because of the exotic species present in new settlements. The farmers’ socio-economic status was found to be the primary cause of differences in species richness. To protect indigenous and wild species, it is necessary to take into account local knowledge in villages to encourage Chinese farmers to participate actively in community greening. A bridge should be built between traditional villages and modern settlements and between the past and future for farmers.     

干热河谷冲沟侵蚀劣地坡积区土体性质与裂缝形态发育特征

采用实地调查和室内分析等方法,并结合数字图像处理技术,研究了干热河谷冲沟侵蚀劣地坡脚堆积区(PJ)、坡底沉积区(PD)和平地漫流区(PM)土体性质和裂缝形态发育特征,并探讨了土体性质对裂缝形态特征的影响。结果表明,(1)侵蚀劣地坡积区不同部位土体性质差异显著,其中土壤体积质量及黏粒质量分数均表现为PDPJPM,毛管孔隙度为PMPDPJ,有机质为PMPJPD;不同部位土体性质极值比:黏粒质量分数最大(1.94),有机质(0.65)次之,再次是毛管孔隙度(0.27),土壤体积质量(0.09)最小;PJ、PD土体性质变化主要受物源特性和沉积方式的影响,而PM土体性质主要与植被分布以及漫流有关。(2)干热河谷侵蚀劣地不同部位土体裂缝形态特征差异也十分显著,其中裂缝长度密度(Lc)及连通性指数(K)均表现为PDPJ≤PM,面积率(Rc)、面积周长比(APc)及加权平均分形维数(AWMFRAC)则整体上表现为PD≥PJPM(Ⅲ号坡积区的Rc除外);表明裂缝发育强度(Rc)及复杂程度(APc、AWMFRAC)PD最高,其次为PJ,再次是PM。(3)相关分析表明,长度密度与土壤体积质量(p=-0.782)、黏粒质量分数(p=-0.626)均呈显著负相关,连通性指数与黏粒质量分数呈显著负相关(p=-0.618),这表明土壤体积质量及黏粒质量分数对裂缝发育产生了重要影响。

浙东固废拆解区污水灌溉对土壤多氯联苯含量的影响研究

在对浙东沿海某典型固废拆解区的水-土壤-农作物系统进行系统调查和分析的基础上,重点探讨了污水灌溉对土壤多氯联苯（PCBs）含量的影响程度,并通过建立数学模型,对污灌区土壤PCBs含量进行了预测。结果表明,研究区土壤、水体、底泥乃至农作物均检测出相当水平的PCBs,对当地的生态安全影响较大;经因子分析和对比分析发现,约有67.3%的土壤PCBs污染是由污水灌溉引起,污水灌溉对土壤污染的影响显著;在现有农田灌溉模式不变的情况下,污灌区的土壤PCBs含量将呈上升趋势,50a后含量将增加1倍。     

空间自相关性对冬小麦种植面积空间抽样效率的影响

空间抽样是实现区域农作物面积高效估算的重要手段,农作物分布受自然条件等因素影响普遍存在空间自相关性,但以往针对空间相关性对农作物面积抽样效率的影响研究明显不足。该研究选取安徽省凤台县为研究区,通过2017年4月4景GF-1全色多光谱影像(Panchromatic and Multispectral, PMS)与Google Earth高空间分辨率影像相结合提取研究区冬小麦。设计10种抽样单元尺度、3种抽样外推方法、2种相对允许误差和5种样本布局方式,构建多种冬小麦面积空间抽样方案。利用全局莫兰指数(global Moran’s index)评价不种尺度下抽样单元内冬小麦面积比的空间自相关强度,分析空间自相关性对冬小麦面积抽样效率(抽样误差、样本容量和空间布局)的影响。研究结果表明,抽样单元内冬小麦面积比的空间自相关强度随单元尺度的增大而减小,全局莫兰指数相应地由0.75降至0.50。无论在何种尺度下抽样单元内冬小麦面积比都呈显著的空间正相关性;抽样外推冬小麦面积总体的误差随空间自相关强度的减小呈先减小后明显增大的趋势。在10种抽样单元尺度中,当抽样单元尺度为2000m且抽样比为5%时,无论采用何种抽样方法外推总体的误差均为最小(简单随机抽样、系统和分层抽样外推总体的相对误差分别为17.94%、9.48%和1.82%);当相对允许误差设计为5%时,简单随机抽样外推总体所需样本容量随空间自相关强度的降低从660降至56。而分层抽样的样本容量不受空间自相关性的影响;5种样本布局方式中,采用分层随机抽样方式外推冬小麦面积总体的平均相对误差、平均变异系数和均方根误差最小,分别为1.82%、3.19%和0.11×108 m2。该研究可为有空间自相关存在下的农作物面积空间抽样方案合理设计提供参考依据。
