Genetic immunization with the immunodominant antigen P48 of Mycoplasma agalactiae stimulates a mixed adaptive immune response in BALBc mice

A DNA vaccine against contagious agalactia was developed for the first time, encoding the P48 of Mycoplasma agalactiae. Specific immune responses elicited in BALB/c mice were evaluated. Both total IgG and IgG1 were detected in mice vaccinated with pVAX1/P48. Proliferation of mononuclear cells of the spleen, levels of gamma interferon, interleukin-12, and interleukin-2 mRNAs were enhanced in immunized animals. Results indicate that pVAX1/P48 vaccination induced both T_h1 and T_h2 immune responses. Nucleic acid immunization could be a new strategy against M. agalactiae infections and may be potentially used to develop vaccines for other Mycoplasma diseases.     

烟蚜茧蜂Aphidius gifuensis滞育诱导研究

研究了不同温度、光周期以及温光组合条件对烟蚜茧蜂滞育诱导的效果。结果表明,僵蚜形成前,各种温度、光周期及温光组合条件均著的作用。僵蚜形成后,低温可大量诱导产生滞育,０℃处理３０ｄ,６０％以上个体进入滞育,而光周期的诱导作用仍不明显。作者认为你温是引起烟蚜茧蜂滞育的主要因素,处理的敏感时期为老熟幼虫－预肾期。滞育虫态为肾。     

桔青霉素人工抗原合成及偶联比测定

[目的]建立一种快速准确测定人工抗原偶联比的方法。[方法]通过载体蛋白BSA合成桔青霉素人工抗原,用SDS-PAGE电泳法、紫外吸收法、质谱法对其进行鉴定。[结果]经过3种方法的鉴定,桔青霉素人工抗原偶联成功,紫外吸收法测得其偶联比为8.4,质谱法测得其偶联比为6。[结论]对3种供试方法比较发现,质谱法能够快速鉴定人工抗原而且能够准确测定人工抗原的偶联比。该研究为桔青霉素克隆抗体的制备及建立桔青霉素的酶联免疫检测方法奠定了基础。     

小菜蛾人工饲养方法比较

比较了离体菜叶法（养虫缸法）、蛭石萝卜苗法、甘蓝苗活株法（养虫笼法）3种饲养小菜蛾的方法。结果表明：离体菜叶法（养虫缸法）的幼虫死亡率高;蛭石萝卜苗法,萝卜苗不耐吃,更换频率高,湿度不易控制,幼虫化蛹位置不固定,不便收集;甘蓝苗活株法（养虫笼法）,成活率高,长势均一,且能缩短生育历期1～3d,是较为适宜的方法。     

印度獐牙菜种子萌发及植物学特性研究

[目的]为印度獐牙菜的栽培和野生资源的保护提供理论依据。[方法]2006年8～9月于青海省玉树州实地考察,观察印度獐牙菜的植物学特性;通过人工后熟、低温、吲哚乙酸(IAA)和Na2CO3处理种子,测定种子萌发率。[结果]自然状态下印度獐牙菜种子萌发率低,经人工后熟、低温、IAA和Na2CO3处理后种子萌发率显著提高。[结论]印度獐牙菜种子经不同处理后可以提高萌发率。     

The Use of Sex-Sorted Stallion Semen in Embryo Transfer Programs

Sorting stallion semen into two separate populations of enriched X- or Y-bearing sperm can be done successfully. For this, stallion semen can be shipped to a sorting facility, but the mare must be in close to the sorting laboratory. Fertility rates when using 20-40 million sperm are an acceptable 60% per insemination. The procedure can be implemented in embryo transfer programs, with no deleterious effect on the pregnancy rate or embryonic death.     

黄土高原人工草地的土壤水分动态及水土保持效益研究

通过９年观测，黄土高原人工草地土壤水分的季节性变化可划分为三个阶段，在此基础上模拟不同人工草地土壤水分的变化规律；随着牧草生育期的延长至第９年，人工草地土壤水分恢复程度逐渐减弱；沙打旺生存能力极强，能够高效地利用深层土壤贮水；用数学模型可以模拟不同人工草地的水土流失，将植被因子引入水土流失方程，可以定量描述对水土流失的影响；反映植被、土壤等因子与水土流失关系的复合因子Ａ￣１值，基本上代表不同人工草地水土流失状况。     

A novel method for rearing the progeny of wild mediterranean fruit flies using artificial fruit

A technique for rearing the progeny of wildCeratitis capitata flies was developed. The method is based on wild captured flies which are allowed to oviposit in artificial fruit containing larval rearing medium. Flies develop in the fruit from eggs to last larval instar, then exit the fruit and pupate within vermiculite. This method was shown to be feasible and efficient, and to increase considerably the number of wild flies for testing purposes. Possible contribution to the Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) and potential applications of the method are discussed.
