Antioxidant,anti-amylase and anti-glycation potential of brans of some Sri Lankan traditional and improved rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties

Brans of 23 traditional and 12 improved (both red and white) rice varieties in Sri Lanka were screened for anti-amylase and anti-glycation activities in vitro. Varieties which showed the highest inhibitory activities at screening were further investigated for anti-glucosidase and glycation reversing as anti-diabetic properties. The same varieties were studied for selected antioxidant properties. Significantly high anti-amylase and anti-glycation activities were observed for bran extracts of red varieties compared to white varieties at screening. Traditional red rice varieties, Masuran, Sudu Heeneti, Dik Wee and Goda Heeneti, exhibited significant and dose dependent anti-amylase, anti-glycation and glycation reversing activities. These varieties also showed marked antioxidant properties. It is concluded that brans of Sri Lankan traditional red rice varieties Masuran, Sudu Heeneti, Dik Wee and Goda Heeneti may be potential food supplements for diabetes.

天然草地机械化改良技术研究进展

为了进一步了解国内外天然草地机械化改良技术,为今后的相关研究提供借鉴与参考,同时探索我国天然草地机械化改良技术的发展方向,对国内外近几年天然草地机械化改良技术进行了总结分析。分析认为,土壤与机具是改良退化天然草地的两大重要因素。国内外草地机械化改良技术主要包括机械化松土、施肥、补播等技术,改良机械有所不同;与国外草地机械化改良技术相比,我国草地机械化改良技术有一定限制,改良机具规格与作业范围有限,专用改良机具研究较少,退化草地土壤与作业机具作用关系的研究较少。我国天然草地机械化改良技术研究的方向是:以退化天然草地土壤为基础元素,进行退化草地土壤与改良机具作用关系研究;针对不同牧草品种与不同作业地形,研究有针对性的改良机具;进行天然草地打孔透气机械研究;探索性研究草地液态肥施肥机械。

Managing secondary dryland salinity: Options and challenges

Salt occurs naturally at high levels in the subsoils of most Australian agricultural land. As a result of clearing native vegetation, groundwater tables have risen, mobilising the stored salt and causing adverse impacts on farmland, infrastructure, water resources, and biodiversity. The main action required to prevent groundwater tables from rising is establishment of perennial plants, either herbaceous (pastures or crops) or woody (trees and shrubs). Recent technical and economic research has emphasised how difficult it will be to establish sufficient perennials to get control of groundwater tables. Where watertables are already shallow, the options for farmers are salt-tolerant plants (e.g. saltbush for grazing) or engineering (e.g. deep open drains). The existing options for farm-level salinity management are reviewed, with mixed but somewhat disappointing findings regarding their suitability for addressing salinity. However, there are also a number of good prospects for development of new and better options for plant-based management of salinity, and these are described.     

户营小型拖拉机难以更新的机理探讨

在分析农户使用、更新小型拖拉机经济行为的基础上，推证并建立了户营小型拖拉机的作业成本随使用年限增加而变化的规律，进一步提出户营小型拖拉机在作业量充足条件下的“成本均等理论”和在作业量欠充足条件下的“成本递减理论”，并通过实地采样加以验证。据此阐述了户营小型拖拉机难以更新的机理，得出在经济欠发达地区户营小型拖拉机基本上不存在最佳更新期的结论。
