玉米粉和乳酸菌对甘薯蔓、酒糟及稻草混合青贮品质的影响

为评价玉米粉和乳酸菌对甘薯蔓、酒糟及稻草(4∶4∶2)混合青贮品质的影响,试验设对照组(CK)、玉米粉添加组(CF)、乳酸菌添加组(LAB)、玉米粉和乳酸菌组合添加组(CF+LAB),每个处理6个重复,室温下贮藏60 d开封,取样分析青贮品质。结果表明,添加玉米粉和乳酸菌制剂均明显提高了青贮料的感官品质,与CK相比,CF处理、LAB处理及CF+LAB处理中 CP含量极显著提高(P<0.01), NH₃-N/TN、AA、PA、Ash含量极显著降低(P<0.01),CF处理极显著地提高了DM、CP、LA含量(P<0.01),而LAB处理则极显著地降低了NDF、ADF含量(P<0.01),CF+LAB中NH₃-N/TN、AA含量及pH值极显著低于LAB(P<0.01),显著低于CF(P<0.05)。综上所述,添加玉米粉和乳酸菌制剂均提高了青贮品质,单独添加乳酸菌制剂青贮品质要次于单独添加玉米粉,两者组合添加青贮品质更好。

Transgene expression for Gladiolus plants grown outdoors and in the greenhouse

Transgene expression was evaluated for Gladiolus plants transformed with either the CaMV 35S, double CaMV 35S, rolD, or Arabidopsis UBQ3 promoter controlling the uidA or bean yellow mosaic virus coat protein gene in either the sense or antisense orientation to determine differences in expression for plants grown in the greenhouse and outdoors for two years. There was more variability in GUS expression when plants were grown outdoors than in the greenhouse for two years. Four of the six transformed plant lines with the UBQ3, rolD, and CaMV 35S promoters grown outdoors showed significant differences in GUS expression from year to year as compared to two of the six lines with the UBQ3 and rolD promoters grown in the greenhouse. When grown the same year, two plant lines with the CaMV 35S and one line with the rolD promoter showed 2–16× higher levels of GUS expression outdoors than in the greenhouse, and one plant line with the UBQ3 promoter had 31× higher GUS expression in the greenhouse instead of outdoors. Three of six plant lines transformed with the bean yellow mosaic virus coat protein gene in either the sense or antisense orientation under control of the double CaMV 35S promoter showed obvious transgene expression as compared to three lines that did not show expression or negligible expression for both years when plants were grown both outdoors and in the greenhouse. This study verified long-term gene expression, rather than silencing, for Gladiolus plants when grown outdoors and in the greenhouse from year to year.     

添加单宁酸对青贮葛藤茎叶品质的影响

为探讨添加单宁酸对青贮葛藤(Pueraria lobata (Willd.) Ohwi)茎叶品质的影响,以青绿葛藤茎叶为原料,添加3%和4%单宁酸青贮60 d后,对其进行感官鉴定,并进行有机酸、干物质损失率及营养成分的分析。结果表明:添加单宁酸的贮葛藤茎叶质地松散完整,具有酸香味,干物质损失率显著降低(P<0.05);可溶性碳水化合物和中性洗涤纤维含量显著增加(P<0.05);在添加单宁酸的青贮葛藤茎叶中,未检测出丙酸和丁酸。因此,葛藤青贮时添加单宁酸有利于营养物质的保持,可明显提高其品质。

Increased humoral antibody response of foot-and-mouth disease virus vaccine in growing pigs pre-treated with poly-γ-glutamic acid

This study was conducted to determine if humoral antibody response of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) vaccine improved in 8-week-old growing pigs born to well-vaccinated sows pre-treated with 60 mg of poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) three days before vaccination. Antibody against FMD virus serotype O was measured 0, 2, 4 and 6 weeks post-vaccination, using a PrioCHECK FMDV type O ELISA kit. The results showed that positive antibody reactions against FMDV serotype O antigen among a component of the vaccine significantly increased in response to pre-injection with γ-PGA.     

敖汉和维多利亚紫花苜蓿对低磷环境应激机制的比较

为了探索紫花苜蓿在低磷环境下的表现及响应机制,以期为提高苜蓿磷利用效率及磷吸收效率提供参考。试验以耐低磷较强的敖汉苜蓿和耐低磷较弱的维多利亚苜蓿为研究对象,以正常磷(500 μmol·L^-1 KH₂PO₄)处理为对照,低磷(5 μmol·L^-1 KH₂PO₄)胁迫处理10、15、20 d后,分别观测其形态特征及生理指标的变化,比较两个品种在低磷胁迫下的差异,综合分析其耐低磷机制。结果表明,低磷胁迫下,敖汉和维多利亚的株高、地上生物量及磷含量有所下降,地下生物量、根冠比、总根长、根表面积及磷利用率有所提高,二者净光合速率、气孔导度和蒸腾速率显著下降(P<0.05),但是敖汉的下降幅度都远小于维多利亚;二者的酸性磷酸酶活性都极显著增强(P<0.01),但敖汉的酸性磷酸酶活性极显著高于维多利亚(P<0.01)。综合表明,低磷胁迫抑制了苜蓿的地上部分生长,促进了地下部分生长,敖汉较维多利亚耐低磷主要表现在光合作用受低磷影响较小、磷酸酶活性增强幅度较大。通过两个品种在低磷胁迫下的不同表现,为紫花苜蓿的耐低磷机制研究提供一定的理论依据。

The impact of foliar fertilizers on growth and biochemical responses of Thymus vulgaris to salinity stress

Salinity reduces plant biomass and may lead to death when severe. To cope with the negative effects of this stress, plant species present specific physiological or biochemical responses. In this work, we hypothesized that spraying salt-stressed thyme leaves with K⁺ and Ca²⁺ could mitigate the negative effects of salinity on plant growth and metabolism. To test this hypothesis, we grew thyme plants under salinity stress for two and four weeks before applying foliar sprays. Also, to test the effect of stress relief, treated plants were allowed two weeks of recovery after four weeks of salt stress. In general, after two and four weeks of salinity stress, the leaf fresh weight of thyme plants was reduced by 31 and 43%, respectively. Salinity also decreased the relative water content, water, and osmotic potentials and led to ion imbalances and nutrient deficiencies. Salinity altered concentration of some essential oils, but leaf antioxidant contents remained fairly stable, except for a significant increase for plants under NaCl?+?KCl two weeks after treatment. Our results indicated that stressed plants accumulated significantly more soluble sugars and amino acids in comparison with the control. Foliar sprays with KCl and CaCl₂ reversed the negative effects of salinity on plant biomass and induced the accumulations of compatible solutes. Moreover, concentrations of some essential oils and gallic acid increased in sprayed plants, but these effects were dependent on the type and duration of the treatment. Overall, spraying leaves with K⁺ and Ca²⁺ was able to mitigate salinity stress in Thymus vulgaris even during the recovery period.
