Effect of allele combinations at Ppd-1 loci on durum wheat grain filling at contrasting latitudes

Flowering time is the most critical developmental stage in wheat, as it determines environmental conditions during grain filling. Thirty-five spring durum genotypes carrying all known allele variants at Ppd-1 loci were evaluated in fully irrigated field experiments for three years at latitudes of 41°N (Spain), 27°N (northern Mexico) and 19°N (southern Mexico). Relationships between weight of central grains of main spikes (W) and thermal time from flowering to maturity were described by a logistic equation. Differences in flowering time between the allele combination causing the earliest (GS100/Ppd-B1a) and the latest (Ppd-A1b/Ppd-B1a) flowering were 7, 20 and 18 days in Spain, northern Mexico and southern Mexico, respectively. Flowering delay drastically reduced the mean grain filling rate (R) and W at all sites. At autumn-sowing sites, an increase of 1°C in mean temperature during the first half of the grain filling period decreased W by 5.2 mg per grain. At these sites, W was strongly dependent on R. At the spring-sowing site (southern Mexico), W depended on both R and grain filling duration. Our results suggest that incorporating the allele combinations GS100/Ppd-B1a and GS105/Ppd-B1a (alleles conferring photoperiod insensitivity) in newly released varieties can reduce the negative effects of climate change on grain filling at the studied latitudes.     

干旱和高温危害毛竹竹笋—幼竹生长初报

1985年4—5月份持续一个多月的高温、干旱,使安吉县毛竹重点产区的新竹眉围下降、产量骤减,残次竹增多,估计共损失竹材120余万支,损失产值200余万元。据我们分析,在毛竹笋期,高温和干旱,尤其是后者是造成竹林减产的主要原因。因此,除了在栽培方面着手研究抗旱保竹的技术措施外,在有条件的地方应发展灌溉,以尽可能减少损失。     

不同温度对杏鲍菇减压贮藏品质的影响

为了研究减压贮藏条件下杏鲍菇的适宜贮藏温度,以杏鲍菇为试材,采用0.07 mm厚的低密度聚乙烯袋抽真空至0.06 MPa减压包装后,分别置于0、2、4、6和8℃下贮藏,研究了不同贮藏温度对减压贮藏条件下杏鲍菇的生理生化及品质的影响。结果表明:2、4℃较好地保持了杏鲍菇超氧化物歧化酶(superoxide dismutase,SOD)(P0.01)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)活性(P0.05),有效抑制了丙二醛(malondialdehyde,MDA)含量的上升(P0.01),降低了呼吸强度(P0.01),延缓了杏鲍菇子实体的衰老进程,较好地保持了杏鲍菇的硬度、弹性、内聚性和咀嚼性;降低了杏鲍菇的多酚氧化酶(polyphenol oxidase,PPO)活性(P0.01),有效抑制了杏鲍菇的褐变,较好地保持了杏鲍菇的色泽(P0.01)。因此,2~4℃为杏鲍菇减压贮藏条件下的适宜贮藏温度,有效延缓了杏鲍菇的后熟衰老进程,延长了杏鲍菇的贮藏期,从而为杏鲍菇的贮藏保鲜提供理论依据和技术方法。     

Simulation of soil types in Teramo province (Central Italy) with terrain parameters and remote sensing data

Soil surveys are an essential source of information for land management although a limited budget often reduces the amount of data available. Even if the dataset is limited, geostatistics can provide a valid estimation tool through a weighted moving average interpolation (kriging). Often, however, the spatial variability of soil properties appears smoothed and short range variability is underestimated by this kind of interpolation technique. A more realistic distribution of a given variable on the territory can be obtained through models based on stochastic simulation.     

温度变化对七带石斑鱼早期发育及开口摄食的影响

观察比较了9个温度梯度(13、15、17、19、21、23、25、27、29℃)对七带石斑鱼(Epinephelus septemfasciatus)受精卵孵化时间、孵化率和畸形率的影响。用在(21±0.5)℃条件下孵出的健康仔鱼进行耐饥饿和摄食实验,实验温度处理设两种方式:一、处理温度始终保持不变;二、将温度在处理48 h后统一调节至21℃。实验期间,每天统计仔鱼死亡数,测定不投饵条件下的存活指数(SAI),并观察仔鱼投饵后的开口摄食情况及其形态发育状况。结果表明:1)受精卵孵化的最适温度范围为17~23℃,当温度低于13℃或高于27℃时,受精卵不能孵化。21℃时,受精卵孵化率最高,为(93.67±1.52)%;而畸形率最低,为(1.06±1.06)%。当温度低于或高于21℃时其孵化率降低,而畸形率升高;2)在13~28℃范围内,初孵仔鱼的SAI值随着温度的上升先升高后逐渐降低,21℃时的SAI值最高,为(20.26±0.44)%。各组温度保持不变时,13℃和27℃的SAI值分别为(2.18±0.01)%、(8.47±0.28)%;调整一致后分别为(6.90±0.44)%、(13.30±0.31)%。温度调节组与不调节组相比,其SAI值明显提高。温度调节后,每个梯度组的畸形率也出现了不同程度的降低;3)不同温度处理的仔鱼开口摄食存在差异。21℃时,仔鱼的初始摄食率和饱食率分别可达80.0%和40.0%。随着温度偏离21℃,摄食率和饱食率均逐渐降低。温度调节恢复组的仔鱼摄食情况改善明显,其中17℃不变和恢复组对比变化最为明显:当保持17℃不变时仔鱼的摄食率和饱食率分别为20.0%、13.3%,而处理48 h后恢复到21℃后,两者分别提高到66.7%和33.3%,分别提高了2.3和1.5倍。     

Inter-river, -annual and -seasonal variability in fecundity of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., in rivers in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Abstract  Fecundity is an integral component of the calculation of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L., egg depositions in rivers. Fecundity determinations can be time consuming and prohibitively expensive in terms of application on a broad scale. Consequently, where river specific and annual data are not available, default means are used in calculations in Newfoundland and Labrador. It is important therefore to know the extent of variability among rivers, years and seasons and the potential error involved in using default values. Annual fecundity data were available for one river in Labrador and nine rivers in Newfoundland. Fecundity was determined from ovaries collected in the recreational fishery in the summer for all 10 rivers. For three of these rivers, fecundity determined from summer sampling was compared with that obtained from sampling at time of spawning in autumn. There was significant variability in fecundity with length as a covariate among rivers, years and seasons. Mean number of eggs per female decreased between 8.3% and 29.0% from summer to autumn while mean number of eggs per cm decreased from 5.0% to 28.5%. Depending on the measure of relative fecundity used (no. of eggs kg⁻¹ or no. of eggs cm⁻¹), results of simulations showed that estimates of egg deposition incorporating defaults can deviate from those obtained by applying year-specific and river-specific values by 50–75%, without adjusting for the seasonal reduction in fecundity, and by 30–50% with an adjustment. A sensitivity analysis revealed that of three parameters used in the calculation of egg deposition (size, percent female and fecundity), fecundity was the most influential.     

不同灌溉处理寒地井灌稻田地温和产量构成要素研究

通过田同试验研究了浅水-间歇灌溉（SIT）、湿润-间歇灌溉（MIT）、淹灌（CSF）条件下寒地稻田的0～ 15 cm地温和水稻产量构成因素.结果表明,SrT、MIT田间建立浅水层或无水层,有利于0～ 15 cm的土壤温度的提升.由于Srr和MIT处理显著提高了每穴有效穗数,因而最终分别较CSF增产8.6％和11.9％,但SIT和MIT处理间差异不显著.     

基于SWAT模型的北江流域气候变化的水文响应

[目的]建立SWAT分布式水文模型,模拟分析气候变化对北江流域径流的影响。[方法]以北江流域为研究对象,运用分布式水文模型SWAT对流域径流进行模拟,以流域出口石角站1961～1980年月流量数据对模型参数进行率定,用1981～1990年月流量数据对模型参数进行了验证。设置15种气候变化情景,利用率定好的SWAT模型模拟了未来气候变化对北江流域径流的影响。[结果]SWAT模型模拟精度较高,可用于北江流域径流模拟。在降水量不变的情况下,温度升高将会使蒸发量增大,径流深减小;气温保持不变时,降水量增加会使蒸发量和径流深有所增加。[结论]该研究可为北江流域水资源管理提供参考依据。     

中国玉米生育期变化及其影响因子研究

【目的】在全球气候变化背景下,分析中国玉米播种期和成熟期的变动情况以及气候资源变化特征。【方法】在收集整理全国2 414个县的玉米生育期数据的基础上,绘制了1970s和2000s中国玉米的播种期与收获期分布图;在整理全国618个气象站点1971-2010年气象资料的基础上,绘制了1970s时段和2000s时段中国年均温度、降雨和太阳辐射量空间分布图。以农业种植一级区为基本单位,建立不同区域农业气候资源变化与玉米生育期变化的回归方程,并将PRECIS模型中B2情景数据代入方程组预测2030s中国玉米的生育期。【结果】与1970s时段相比,2000s时段东北大豆春麦甜菜区的玉米播种期基本保持不变;其它各农业种植一级区的玉米播种期均提前约1-15 d;除东北大豆春麦甜菜区和北部高原小杂粮甜菜区春玉米的成熟期平均推迟了11 d和3 d,2000s时段其它玉米种植区域的成熟期平均提前3-12 d。2000s时段云贵高原稻玉米烟草区的玉米生育期缩短约5 d,黄淮海棉麦油烟果区、华南双季稻热带作物甘蔗区和西北绿洲麦棉甜菜葡萄区的玉米生育期基本保持不变;其它各区域玉米生育期均有所延长。与2000s时段相比,B2情景下,2030s东北大豆春麦甜菜区的春玉米播种期将推迟2-5 d,其它各农业种植一级区的玉米播种期将提前2-19 d;东北大豆春麦甜菜区、北部高原小杂粮甜菜区和华南双季稻热带作物甘蔗区的玉米成熟期将推迟4-15 d,黄淮海棉麦油烟果区、长江中下游稻棉油桑茶区、川陕盆地稻玉米薯类柑橘桑区和云贵高原稻玉米烟草区的玉米成熟期将提前2-12 d,南方丘陵双季稻茶柑橘区和西北绿洲麦棉甜菜葡萄区的玉米成熟期则基本保持不变。2030s时段黄淮海棉麦油烟果区和云贵高原稻玉米烟草区的玉米生育期则将缩短3-6 d,其它区域的玉米生育期将延长2-15 d。【结论】中国气候正朝着增温、变干和低辐射的方向发展。受温度、降雨和太阳辐射量变化的影响,中国不同农业种植区域内玉米生育期变动明显,其中除东北大豆春麦甜菜区外玉米播种期以提前为主,玉米成熟期的变动则较为复杂,玉米的生育期则以延长为主。     

2014年春季内蒙古2次大风降雪寒潮过程分析

对于环流特征相似的寒潮过程,其爆发的方式、产生的天气和影响的区域基本相似,但个别寒潮过程却存在较大的差异,造成预报上的误判。针对此类特例,基于常规气象观测资料,自动站观测资料和NCEP逐6 h 1°×1°再分析资料,应用天气学分析和诊断方法,对2014年4月24日（过程1）和5月1日（过程2）2次寒潮天气过程的环流、系统和爆发的动力、热力学机制等进行对比分析。结果表明：2次过程北半球中高纬500 hPa环流形势均具有两脊一槽的环流特征。寒潮区域升温明显,前期平均温度分别比历史同期偏高1.0~7.3℃和0.1~10.7℃,500 hPa冷槽和强锋区均在新疆北部堆积、爆发南侵;2次过程在爆发方式和成因上存在着较大的差异,过程1中促使寒潮爆发流场为横槽转竖,槽前疏散结构和正涡度平流使低槽切断出低涡并东南移,冷平流中心移至槽前,横槽转竖寒潮爆发。过程2为低槽东移,冷槽移过阿尔泰山和蒙古高原加深东移,冷空气入侵内蒙古,寒潮爆发。虽然2次过程均造成了全区范围的强降温,但由于上述影响方式和成因的不同,使得大风、沙尘暴和降水呈现出不同的影响特点。寒潮过程中大风和沙尘暴的分布除与冷平流有关外,还与高空动量下传的地点和时间密切相关,对于寒潮过程中的降水而言,低层的温度层结及其水汽输送特点,决定了不同地区的相态变化和降水的量级。通过关注环流相似寒潮过程中的爆发方式和动力过程,对于正确预报寒潮天气造成的不同地区的降温、大风、沙尘和降水具有很好的借鉴意义。
