行内疏枝和生长延缓剂对紫花苜蓿种子产量与发芽率的影响

针对紫花苜蓿种子生产中因播种量高、密度大、造成种子产量低的问题。2001～2002年,在甘肃酒泉进行行内疏枝与生长延缓剂(多效唑(PP333)和烯效唑(S3307))对种子产量影响的两个试验,并测定种子标准发芽率。结果表明,与未疏枝相比,秋季行内疏枝后,生殖枝密度和荚果的败育种子数降低23.8%和55.6%,生殖枝结荚花序数提高28.1%,种子产量由563.8提高到763.3kg/hm²,增产35.4%(P<0.05);秋季行内疏枝,翌年分枝期叶面喷施多效唑和烯效唑可以有效抑制植株生长,其中以烯效唑有效成分含量0.15和0.20kg/hm²的效果较为明显,收获期株高较对照分别降低19.4%和17.8%,而每个结荚花序的荚果数提高16.5%和25.3%(P<0.05)。与对照(640.4kg/hm²)相比,喷施多效唑和烯效唑后,种子呈增产趋势,其中多效唑(有效成分含量1.0kg/hm²)幅度最大,增产39.1%;烯效唑0.15和0.20kg/hm²处理,种子硬实率较对照分别降低7%和6%;烯效唑有效成分含量0.10kg/hm²处理,硬实率较对照提高7%(P<0.05);对于植株密度过大的种子田,行内疏枝是提高产量的关键,否则只用生长延缓剂控制株高,提高种子产量的幅度不大。

Turbidity‐induced changes in emergent effects of multiple predators with different foraging strategies

Abstract – In natural systems, prey frequently interact with multiple predators and the outcome often cannot be predicted by summing the effects of individual predator species. Multiple predator interactions can create emergent effects for prey, but how those change across environmental gradients is poorly understood. Turbidity is an environmental factor in aquatic systems that may influence multiple predator effects on prey. Interactions between a cruising predator (largemouth bass Micropterus salmoides) and an ambush predator (muskellunge Esox masquinongy) and their combination foraging on a shared prey (bluegill Lepomis macrochirus) were examined across a turbidity gradient. Turbidity modified multiple predator effects on prey. In clear water, combined predators consumed in total more prey than expected from individual predator treatments, suggesting risk enhancement for prey. In moderately turbid water, the predators consumed fewer prey together than expected, suggesting a risk reduction for prey. At high turbidity, there were no apparent emergent effects; however, the cruising predator consumed more prey than the ambush predator, suggesting an advantage for this predator. Understanding multiple predator traits across a gradient of turbidity increases our understanding of how complex natural systems function.     

干扰素诱导跨膜蛋白1对猪源冠状病毒吸附宿主细胞的影响

为探索干扰素诱导跨膜蛋白1（interferon-inducible transmembrane protein 1,IFITM1）对猪源冠状病毒复制的影响,本研究选用猪传染性胃肠炎病毒（Transmissible gastroenteritis virus,TGEV）高致病毒株及其宿主细胞PK15作为研究对象。正常PK15细胞接种TGEV后,实时荧光定量PCR检测感染后不同时间点PK15细胞中一些干扰素刺激基因（interferon-stimulated genes,ISGs）的mRNA表达水平;利用慢病毒表达系统构建稳定表达和稳定干扰IFITM1表达的PK15细胞系。将一段靶向干扰猪源IFITM1的shRNA序列及猪源IFITM1全长,分别插入pLKO.1-EGFP-Puro载体及pLVML-Myc-MCS-IRES-Puro载体中,分别构建出pLKO.1-IFITM1shRNA-EGFP-Puro及pLVML-Myc-IFITM1-IRES-Puro重组质粒。将重组质粒与慢病毒包装质粒共转染293FT细胞后获得带有目的基因的重组慢病毒,慢病毒侵染PK15细胞后用嘌呤霉素进行筛选,获得稳定表达及稳定干扰IFITM1表达的PK15细胞系,分别命名为PK15-IFITM1及PK15-IFITM1^-/-,并分别用实时荧光定量PCR、间接免疫荧光试验（IFA）及Western blotting检测IFITM1干扰效率及表达情况;TGEV接种PK15-IFITM1^-/-和PK15-IFITM1,实时荧光定量PCR测定细胞中TGEV的拷贝数。结果显示,PK15细胞接种TGEV后的48 h内,一些ISGs的mRNA水平均有所上升;PK15-IFITM1^-/-细胞系的干扰效率为70%,PK15-IFITM1细胞系表达成功;在PK15-IFITM1^-/-细胞系中,IFITM1的mRNA水平显著下调,促进了TGEV的复制。反之,在PK15-IFITM1细胞系中,TGEV的复制受到了抑制。但IFITM1的表达或缺失却不影响TGEV对PK15的吸附作用。总之,IFITM1对TGEV有显著的抗病毒作用,IFITM1不影响TGEV对PK15细胞的早期吸附,这为后续IFITM1抗冠状病毒机制的研究奠定了基础。     

Impaired female fertility in tubulointerstitial antigen-like 1-deficient mice

Tubulointerstitial nephritis antigen-like 1 (Tinagl1, also known as adrenocortical zonation factor 1 [AZ-1] or lipocalin 7) is a matricellular protein. Previously, we demonstrated that Tinagl1 expression was restricted to extraembryonic regions during the postimplantation period and detected marked expression in mouse Reichert’s membranes. In uteri, Tinagl1 is markedly expressed in the decidual endometrium during the postimplantation period, suggesting that it plays a physical and physiological role in embryo development and/or decidualization of the uterine endometrium during pregnancy. In the present study, in order to determine the role of Tinagl1 during embryonic development and pregnancy, we generated Tinagl1-deficient mice. Although Tinagl1^–/– embryos were not lethal during development to term, homologous matings of Tinagl1^–/– females and Tinagl1^–/– males showed impaired fertility during pregnancy, including failure to carry pregnancy to term and perinatal lethality. To examine ovarian function, ovulation was induced with equine chorionic gonadotropin (eCG) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG); the number of ovulated oocytes did not differ between Tinagl1^–/– and Tinagl1^flox/flox. In vitro fertilization followed by embryo culture also demonstrated the normal developmental potential of Tinagl1-null embryos during the preimplantation period. Our results demonstrate that Tinagl1 deficiency affects female mice and results in subfertility phenotypes, and they suggest that although the potential of Tinagl1^–/– oocytes is normal, Tinagl1 is related to fertility in adult females but is not essential for either fertilization or preimplantation development in vitro.
