性信息素诱捕器对槐小卷蛾雄蛾诱捕效果的影响

研究了性信息素诱捕器的颜色、形状、粘胶面积以及在树冠内放置的位置对槐小卷蛾Cydia trasias (Mayrick)雄蛾诱捕效果的影响。结果表明，白、绿和黄3种颜色的诱捕器的诱捕效果明显优于蓝颜色的诱捕效果；三角形诱捕器诱捕雄蛾的效果明显优于双层圆盘形和双层船形的诱捕效果；粘胶面积为500．0cm^2的三角形诱捕器的诱捕效果明显优于250．0cm^2和166．7cm^2的诱捕效果；悬挂于树冠中上部的诱捕器的诱捕效果明显优于悬挂于树冠中部及中下部的诱捕效果。在槐小卷蛾性信息素监测与防治系统中，悬挂在树冠中上部、粘胶面积为500.0^2的白颜色的三角形诱捕器的诱蛾效果最佳。

AgNO3处理下银杏幼胚愈伤组织的形成和激素变化

采用石蜡切片技术和酶联免疫吸附法(ELISA),以银杏幼胚为外植体,添加0,1和5 mg/L AgNO3作处理,观察21 d内愈伤组织的形成过程,测定内源激素吲哚乙酸(IAA)、保幼激素类似物(ZR)、赤霉素(GA)和脱落酸(ABA)的变化,分析AgNO3对银杏幼胚愈伤组织分化潜能的影响。结果表明:根据解剖结构愈伤形成可分为4个阶段。第1阶段(0~7 d),IAA升高,ABA降低,表皮细胞启动脱分化。第2阶段(≥7~11 d),4种激素浓度均升高,愈伤组织和细胞团初步形成。第3阶段(≥11~16 d),GA、ABA大幅降低,细胞团大量形成。第4阶段(≥16~21 d),ABA骤降、GA迅速上升,愈伤组织和细胞团增殖。1 mg/L AgNO3处理下分生细胞团种类最多,其次为5mg/L处理,0 mg/L处理最少。研究认为,银杏幼胚愈伤组织具有较强的分化潜能,AgNO3能影响其内源激素的平衡,调控分化方向。     

梅PmARF17克隆及其在花发育中与内源激素的调控模式

【目的】分析梅PmARF17的生物学功能,探究梅花发育进程中其表达丰度与内源激素动态变化的关系,为梅花发育的调控研究提供依据。【方法】以梅品种‘大嵌蒂’为试材,克隆PmARF17,利用生物信息学软件分析基因结构、系统进化及其与其他物种同源蛋白的差异;亚细胞定位确定PmARF17蛋白在细胞中作用的部位;以梅品种‘大嵌蒂’和‘龙眼’不同发育阶段的花芽、叶芽、花器官为试材,利用qRT-PCR检测PmARF17时空表达模式,通过UPLC法测定IAA、GA₃、ABA、ZT含量的动态变化,并与PmARF17的表达进行相关性分析;克隆PmARF17启动子,分析启动子的顺式作用元件,利用瞬时表达解析PmARF17与GA₃的调控模式。【结果】从梅品种‘大嵌蒂’中克隆得到PmARF17,系统进化树分析表明PmARF17蛋白与其他植物的ARF蛋白序列高度同源;亚细胞定位表明其作用于细胞核和细胞膜上;qRT-PCR表达和内源激素含量的相关性分析表明,PmARF17的表达与IAA含量的变化趋势没有明显的相关性。PmARF17在雌蕊完好花芽中的表达水平相对不完全花芽显著上调,而GA₃含量与PmARF17的表达趋势一致。ABA和ZT含量总体上与PmARF17的表达呈相反的趋势,表明两者可能抑制PmARF17的表达。PmARF17启动子含有GA顺式元件,且具有启动活性和组织表达特异性,在花瓣、雄蕊及根部特异表达。【结论】 PmARF17可能是梅花发育的正调控基因,促进梅雌蕊的正常发育。PmARF17的表达可能受到GA₃的正调控,其可能通过作用于雄蕊和花瓣,进而影响梅的雌蕊发育进程。     

Effects of photoperiod on sex steroids and gonad maturation in Arctic charr

Four groups of Arctic charr (age 3+), previously exposed to natural photoperiod, were subjected to different photoperiod regimes from February 20: Simulated natural photoperiod (SNP; Tromsø 70°N), continuous light (LD 24:0) followed by short day (LD 6:18) from either May 1 (L_Feb–May) or June 25 (L_Feb–June), or continuous light (LD 24:0) throughout the experiment (L_Continuous). In females, peak levels of estradiol-17β and testosterone were 6 and 10, 6 and 7, and 3 and 5 weeks advanced, in L_Feb–May, L_Feb–June and L_Continuous, respectively, whereas in males plasma levels of 11-ketotestosterone peaked 8 weeks earlier in L_Feb–May and L_Feb–June than in SNP and L_Continuous. Median ovulation time in L_Feb–May and L_Feb–June was advanced by 10 weeks compared to SNP and L_Continuous, and median spermiation time (first observation of running milt in each individual) in L_Feb–May, L_Feb–June and L_Continuous was advanced by 10, 7 and 5 weeks, compared to SNP. A switch from long to short day early in the reproductive cycle (L_Feb–May and L_Feb–June) apparently resulted in stronger synchronization of both ovulation and spermiation. Ovulation in L_Feb–May and L_Feb–June occurred over 3 weeks (L_Feb–May) and 8 weeks (L_Feb–June), as compared to 10 weeks in the SNP group, whereas all males (except one individual) began spermiating over a period of 3 weeks (L_Feb–June), or less (L_Feb–May), as compared to 7 weeks in the SNP group. Lack of a short day stimulus (L_Continuous), on the other hand, resulted in larger variation in the timing of final maturation, with ovulation and spermiation being spread over 15 weeks. Low egg survival in L_Feb–May (17% versus 60% and 97% for L_Continuous and SNP) indicate that a long day signal of 10 weeks early in the reproductive cycle may be too short to ensure good egg and sperm quality. Photoperiod manipulation did not affect the proportion of maturing fish.     

Low protein provision during the first year of life,but not during foetal life,affects metabolic traits,organ mass development and growth in male mink (Neovison vison)

Low protein provision in utero and post‐partum may induce metabolic disorders in adulthood. Studies in mink have mainly focused on short‐term consequences of low protein provision in utero whereas the long‐term responses to low protein (LP) provision in metabolically programmed mink are unknown. We investigated whether low protein provision in utero affects the long‐term response to adequate (AP) or LP provision after weaning in male mink. Eighty‐six male mink were exposed to low (19% of ME from CP; crude protein) or adequate (31% of ME from CP) protein provision in utero, and to LP (~20% of ME from CP) or AP (30–42% of ME from CP) provision post‐weaning. Being metabolically programmed by low protein provision in utero did not affect the response to post‐weaning diets. Dietary protein content in the LP feed after weaning was below requirements; evidenced by lower nitrogen retention (p < 0.001) preventing LP mink from attaining their growth potential (p < 0.02). LP mink had a lower liver, pancreas and kidney weight (p < 0.05) as well as lower plasma IGF‐1 concentrations at 8 and 25 (p < 0.05) weeks, and a higher incidence of hepatic lipidosis at 25 weeks (p < 0.05). Furthermore, LP mink had a higher body fat (p < 0.05) and lower body CP content (p < 0.05) at 50 weeks of age. It is concluded that some effects of low protein provision in utero can be alleviated by an adequate nutrient supply post‐partum. However, long‐term exposure to low protein provision in mink reduces their growth potential and induces transient hepatic lipidosis and modified body composition.

溴化钠对鲤生长、甲状腺激素的影响及其在体内的蓄积

水体中添加不同浓度的溴化钠(NaBr)对鲤进行试验,分别在15、30和45d进行生长速度测定和组织蓄积研究,并在45d对甲状腺激素进行测定。研究发现,NaBr对鲤生长有促进作用,其中浓度为15mg·L-1的NaBr试验组促进作用最显著(P<0.05);NaBr影响甲状腺激素水平,浓度为15mg·L-1的NaBr试验组含量最高(P<0.01);鲤各组织中肝和皮的溴蓄积量较高,而肾在各浓度试验组均保持较高水平,浓度为25mg·L-1NaBr时肌肉中溴蓄积量为72.40mg·L-1;添加NaCl对鲤组织的溴蓄积量影响显著(P<0.01)。水体中NaBr含量低于25mg·L-1时,对淡水水生生物是安全的,所养殖生物中溴蓄积量符合食品卫生标准。     

Evaluation of commercial catfish, tilapia and salmonid diets for growth promotion of white suckers

In an attempt to identify appropriate diets for use in intensive baitfish culture, the efficacy of three commercial diet formulations, a high-protein, high-lipid, low-carbohydrate diet [a semi-moist salmonid diet (SD)] and two low-protein, low-lipid, high-carbohydrate diets [a catfish diet (CD) and a tilapia diet (TD)] on growth performance of juvenile white suckers, Catostomus commersoni, was examined. All three diets permitted growth during the 16 week trial. The SD promoted highest growth and somatic protein and lipid deposition, whereas the CD and TD formulations promoted markedly higher accumulations of glycogen in the carcass and liver. The high hepatic glycogen content was associated with an elevated hepatosomatic index in the CD- and TD-fed groups. Plasma T3 levels were lower in the CD- and TD-fed groups, possibly a response to the low dietary protein or indicative of dietary insufficiency in these fish. Of the three diets evaluated, the SD was considered to be the best in terms of the growth performance parameters measured, and offers an economical and appropriate diet for intensive culture of juvenile white suckers.     

Effects of sex ratio, stocking density and age of hybrid tilapia on seed production in concrete tanks in Saudi Arabia

The influence of sex ratio, stocking density and age of hybrid tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus X O. aureus) brood fish on seed production in concrete tanks were evaluated in 1992 and 1993. A sex ratio of 1:2 and 1:3 (male: female) and a density of 2 fish m-2 gave the best result with respect to number of seed female-1 day-1 and number of seed kg-1-1 female day-1. Maximum seed production female-1 day-1 was recorded for 3-year-old females and the minimum for 1-year-olds, but in terms of seed kg-1 female day-1 and seed m-2 day-1, 1-year-olds produced the maximum number of seed followed by 2-, 3- and 4-year-old females. Seasonal pattern in seed production was apparently influenced by season and temperature. From the first harvest on 21 April 1993 the production increased gradually, reaching a peak during the third harvest and a second peak during the sixth harvest. Thereafter seed production gradually decreased, reaching a minimum during the tenth harvest on 27 October 1993. No seed were found during the last harvest of 18 November 1993. Maximum production coincided with the highest water temperature of around 28°C.
