CO2浓度升高和磷素亏缺对黑麦草气孔特征及气体交换参数的影响

为深入理解未来大气CO2浓度升高背景下草地生态系统结构与功能响应土壤磷亏缺的潜在机理,该研究利用可精准控制CO2浓度的大型人工气候室,探讨了正常CO2浓度400 μmol/mol、升高CO2浓度800 μmol/mol和磷素供应水平（0.004、0.012、0.02、0.06、0.1和0.5 mmol/L）对黑麦草气孔特征及其气体交换过程的影响。结果表明,CO2浓度升高使供磷水平0.1和0.5 mmol/L的气孔密度增加约35%（P=0.012）和25%（P<0.001）,但却减小气孔开度13%（P=0.002）和12%（P=0.005）,且导致供磷水平为0.06 mmol/L的黑麦草气孔分布更加规则。同时,CO2浓度升高还导致供磷水平0.1和0.5 mmol/L的净光合速率显著增加8.6%（P=0.002）和15.8%（P<0.001）,从而提高黑麦草的水分利用效率。另外,不同供磷水平明显改变了植株生物量及其分配,且高浓度CO2对较高磷水平时地上生长产生更强的施肥效应。研究结果将为深入理解草地生态系统对大气CO2浓度升高和土壤磷素亏缺的响应机理提供理论依据和数据支撑。     

Modern wheat cultivars have greater root nitrogen uptake efficiency than old cultivars

The availability of nitrogen (N) contained in crop residues for a following crop may vary with cultivar, depending on root traits and the interaction between roots and soil. We used a pot experiment to investigate the effects of six spring wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars (three old varieties introduced before mid last century and three modern varieties) and N fertilization on the ability of wheat to acquire N from maize (Zea mays L.) straw added to soil. Wheat was grown in a soil where ¹⁵N‐labeled maize straw had been incorporated with or without N fertilization. Higher grain yield in three modern and one old cultivar was ascribed to preferred allocation of photosynthate to aboveground plant parts and from vegetative organs to grains. Root biomass, root length density and root surface area were all smaller in modern than in old cultivars at both anthesis and maturity. Root mean diameter was generally similar between modern and old cultivars at anthesis but was greater in modern than in old cultivars at maturity. There were cultivar differences in N uptake from incorporated maize straw and the other N sources (soil and fertilizer). However, these differences were not related to variation in the measured root parameters among the six cultivars. At anthesis, total N uptake efficiencies by roots (total N uptake per root weight or root length) were greater in modern than in old cultivars within each fertilization level. At maturity, averaged over fertilization levels, the total N uptake efficiencies by roots were 292?336 mg N g^?1 roots or 3.2?4.0 mg N m^?1 roots for three modern cultivars, in contrast to 132?213 mg N g^?1 roots or 0.93?1.6 mg N m^?1 roots for three old cultivars. Fertilization enhanced the utilization of N from maize straw by all cultivars, but root N uptake efficiencies were less affected. We concluded that modern spring wheat cultivars had higher root N uptake efficiency than old cultivars.

贵州本地山羊STAT5A基因多态性及其与生长性状关联分析

本研究通过探讨STAT5A基因SNP与山羊生长性状关联性,旨在为山羊选种选育提供更好的科学依据。实验以贵州白山羊和贵州黑山羊为研究对象,采用DNA池法及PCR-SSCP技术检测STAT5A基因单核苷酸多态性。结果发现,在贵州白山羊和贵州黑山羊STAT5A基因内含子10均检测到1个SNP位点G127A,表现为3种基因型,分别命名为GG、GA和AA。基因型与生长性状关联分析显示,贵州黑山羊基因型GA个体的胸围和体重指标显著高于基因型GG个体（p〈0.05）,而其余3个指标均差异不显著（p〉0.05）;贵州白山羊基因型GA个体的体斜长、胸围和管围指标显著高于基因型GG个体（p〈0.05）,而其余指标均差异不显著（p〉0.05）。研究结果提示：STAT5A基因可能是影响山羊体重、体斜长、管围和胸围的主效基因或与主效基因连锁,G127A位点可望作为提高山羊个体生长性状的分子遗传标记。     

辽宁地区两种菊科入侵植物与本地植物光合特性比较

为明确外来植物生理生态学性状及其与其强入侵性的关系,本研究采用野外原位气体交换参数测定的方法,分析了菊科入侵植物豚草、三裂叶豚草与其共生本地植物紫菀光合特性和叶片性状的差异。结果表明,豚草、三裂叶豚草、紫菀3种植物的光饱和点(LSP)均高于800μmol·m~(-2)·s~(-1),且两种入侵植物的LSP显著高于紫菀,表观量子效率(AQY)则显著低于紫菀;3种植物的最大净光合速率(P_(nmax))大小顺序为豚草三裂叶豚草紫菀,其中,豚草和三裂叶豚草的P_(nmax)分别比紫菀高出151.28%、82.80%,且差异显著。两种入侵植物的比叶面积(SLA)、叶片的单位质量氮含量(N_(mass))、叶片单位质量磷含量(P_(mass))、光合能量利用效率(PEUE)、光合氮利用效率(PNUE)均显著高于紫菀,但3者叶片单位质量建成成本(CC_(_(mass)))差异不显著。综上所述,辽宁的两种菊科入侵植物相对于本地共生种来说有着较高的气体交换参数和叶片特性指标,且其光合特性和叶片特性也存在着密切的联系,表现在这些菊科入侵植物有着更高的P_(nmax)、PNUE、PEUE和水分利用效率(WUE)等光合特性指标和能量利用指标,使得入侵植物能够更有效地捕获和利用环境资源,成为其得以成功入侵的原因之一。     

猪CD8B表达谱、基因多态性及其与血液免疫性状的关联分析

白细胞分化抗原8(cluster of differentiation 8,CD8)是主要表达在CD8+T细胞表面的共受体和信号转导分子.CD8B基因编码CD8蛋白的β链,在免疫应答中起着潜在的调节作用.为分析CD8B基因在猪(Sus scrofa)不同组织中的表达特征,并探究CD8B基因多态性对血液免疫性状的遗传效应,本研究利用qRT-PCR测定CD8B基因在大白猪7个组织中的表达量,并用PCR产物测序与限制性片段长度多态性(restriction fragment length polymorphism,RFLP)方法对382头大白猪、84头长白猪和90头松辽黑猪CD8B基因编码区进行SNPs检测,以及分析CD8B基因突变对大白猪外周血T淋巴细胞亚群和血常规指标的影响.结果表明,CD8B基因在脾脏中的mRNA表达量最高,然后依次是肺脏、胃、肝脏、肾脏、心脏和肌肉.CD8B基因外显子5处检测到1个错义突变(c.602G＞A),在大白猪、长白猪和松辽黑猪群中均存在3种基因型(AA、AG和GG型),且3个猪种都是GG为优势基因型.统计分析显示,CD8B基因多态性与大白猪血液中的CD4+CD8-、CD4 CD8+、CD4 +/CD8+、血红蛋白含量(hemoglobin,HGB)和红细胞压积(hematocrit,HCT)指标显著相关(P＜0.05).最小二乘分析表明,3种CD8B基因型个体具有不同的血液参数,其中GG型的CD4+CD8-指标显著高于AG型,AG型的CD4-CD8+指标显著高于GG和AA型,GG和AA型的CD4+/CD8+、HGB和HCT指标显著高于AG型(P＜0.05).因此,CD8B基因可能参与血液生理指标的调控,可作为影响猪免疫性状的重要功能候选基因.本研究为进一步揭示CD8B基因的生物学功能提供依据,也为猪的标记辅助抗病育种提供了基础资料.

Agronomical,quality, and molecular characterization of twenty Italian emmer wheat (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Triticum dicoccon</Emphasis>) accessions

Emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccon Schrank, 2n = 4x = 28) consists in a hulled wheat; its cultivation has been drastically reduced during the last century as a consequence of its low yield. Recently, its agronomic and nutritive values, as well as the increase of popularity of organic agriculture, have led to a renewed interest making its cultivation economically viable in the marginal lands with an increase of the cultivated areas. In Italy, it mainly survives in few marginal lands of central and southern Italy, where local varieties, adapted to the natural environment from where they originate, are used; moreover, some selected lines have also been developed. In the present work, agro-morphological and qualitative traits, together with molecular analyses of 20 emmer accessions consisting of Italian landraces, breeding lines, and cultivars, were performed. The field experiments were conducted for two consecutive years (2001/2002–2002/2003) in two locations: Viterbo in central Italy, and Foggia in south Italy. The analyzed emmer wheat accessions showed a good amount of genetic variability for both evaluated agro-morphological and molecular traits. This study illustrates an increase in earliness, GY, TW, TKW, and YI going from landraces, breeding lines to cultivars, while the variability does not change proportionally.

Are survival and reproduction of Enchytraeus albidus (Annelida: Enchytraeidae) at risk by feeding on Bt-maize litter?

Enchytraeids are saprophagous soil organisms, appearing in high abundances and contributing to ecological processes within the soil. For decades they have been used as model species for biological research. In the framework of research on genetically modified plants, however, they have not been considered to date. Following the ISO/DIS guideline, survival and reproduction of Enchytraeus albidus, fed with diets containing Bt-maize (N4640Bt Cry1Ab, DKC5143Bt Cry3Bb1) leaf material were analysed. For comparison, diets with the corresponding untransformed near-isolines (N4640, DKC5143) were examined. Additionally a high quality control diet (oat flakes) was included. Survival and reproduction showed no significant differences between the Cry3Bb1 treatment and the treatment with the untransformed counterpart. For the Cry1Ab treatment survival was significantly higher than for the treatment with the corresponding near-isoline. In contrast, reproduction was significantly lower for the Cry1Ab treatment compared to that for the isoline. For the Cry3Bb1 treatment, no effect was shown on survival or reproduction. For the Cry1Ab variety and its untransformed counterpart, a contrasting result was detected, which is unlikely to be caused by the Bt-protein but rather by differences in other plant components. Overall survival and reproduction were highest for the control.
