Validation of a small-area method for estimating the spatial distribution of the degree of tree damage

This article presents a validation of a method, proposed in Podlaski (2003), for estimating the degree of tree damage. This method belongs to a group of small-area methods. To estimate the degree of tree damage in individual P₃ sub-blocks of the SINUS system of information on the natural environment, a classification based on the degree of defoliation was used. Spatial distribution of the degree of tree damage was estimated through unrestricted simple random sampling. The maximum total estimation error for proportions of fir and beech with a damage degree of zero, and also with second and third degrees jointly, reached a maximum of 35.6% for fir, and 33.8% for beech. P₃ sub-blocks characterised by the highest proportion of the healthiest trees (at least 15% being undamaged trees) occurred in patches in the case of fir, and in larger, compact areas in the case of beech. Because spatial diversification in the health of fir, and to a smaller degree in the case of beech, occurs at small scales, small-area methods for estimating tree condition are necessary. An analogous scheme, combining small-area with large-area methods (utilising sub-blocks of the network of large-area systems in a small-area inventory, and establishing a common database), could be used on a wider scale; for example, by supplementing the program of estimating tree health carried out by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (Lorenz et al. 2002) with local inventories.     

尾叶香茶菜种子发芽特性研究

研究温度、光照、贮藏时间及GA3处理对尾叶香茶菜种子发芽特性的影响。结果表明：尾叶香茶菜种子存在休眠期，度过休眠期后发芽率迅速增加，到达峰值后如果不采取科学的贮藏手段，发芽率将迅速下降；GA3处理可以提高种子的发芽率，其适宜的浸种浓度为50mg／L；光线对尾叶香茶菜种子萌发没有影响；其适宜发芽温度为20～30℃。     

大豆Abhydrolase_3基因家族进化分析

异黄酮是大豆的重要次生代谢物,参与植物与微生物互作。2-羟基异黄酮脱水酶(hydroxyisoflavanone dehydratase,HID)催化2-羟基异黄酮形成稳定的异黄酮。HID属于Abhydrolase_3基因家族,该基因家族具有多种功能,但该基因家族在大豆中的进化模式尚待研究。为了研究Abhydrolase_3基因家族在大豆中的进化模式,本文在大豆基因组中鉴定了62个Abhydrolase_3基因,串联和片段复制是该基因家族主要扩增方式。根据系统进化关系,将大豆Abhydrolase_3基因家族划分为8个亚家族,其中HID所在的亚家族I基因数量最多,并发生多次基因扩增事件。对大豆Abhydrolase_3基因家族结构分析表明,不同亚家族具有不同的基序。多态性分析表明,亚家族Ⅰ、Ⅲ和Ⅴ具有较高的核苷酸差异,并受到放松的自然选择。基因表达分析表明,除了亚家族II和IV外,其它亚家族的基因在大豆不同组织中有较高表达;亚家族Ⅰ、Ⅲ、Ⅳ、Ⅴ和Ⅵ基因受病原菌诱导表达。结果说明HID所在的亚家族I存在基因扩增和功能分化,与病原菌互作相关的基因具有较高的遗传多样性并受病原菌诱导表达。

Bortezomib attenuates LPS-induced inflammatory response of human monocytes through regulating miR-223/NLRP3 signaling pathway

AIM To investigate the effects of bortezomib (BTZ) on microRNA-223 (miR-223)/nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) signaling pathway and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammatory response of human monocytes. METHODS Monocytes were isolated and purified from peripheral blood of rheumatodid arthritis (RA) patients. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6), IL-1β and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in supernatants of the monocytes were determined by ELISA, and the optimal induction time of LPS and the optimal treatment concentration of BTZ were selected according to the levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α. The monocytes were divided into control group, LPS induced group and BTZ group. The level of miR-223 in the monocytes was measured by RT-qPCR, and the protein levels of NLRP3, caspase-1, suppressor of cytokine signaling 1 (SOCS1) and SH2 domain-containing inositol phosphatase-1 (SHIP-1) in the monocytes were determined by Western blot. RESULTS The monocytes successfully isolated and purified from the peripheral blood of RA patients were spherical, evenly distributed and regular in shape.And after LPS induction for 24 h, the cells were mostly spindle-shaped and aggregated. According to the levels of IL-6, IL-1β and TNF-α, the optimal induction time of LPS was 24 h, and the optimal concentration of BTZ was 50 nmol/L. Compared with control group, the levels of miR-223, SOCS1 and SHIP-1 in LPS induction group were significantly decreased (P<0.05), and the levels of NLRP3 and caspase-1 were significantly increased (P<0.05). Compared with LPS induction group, the levels of miR-223, SOCS1 and SHIP-1 in BTZ group were significantly increased (P< 0.05), and the levels of NLRP3 and caspase-1 were significantly lowered (P<0.05). CONCLUSION Bortezomib may block the activation of miR-223/NLRP3 signaling pathway, thus reducing the secretion of inflammatory factors in LPS-induced human monocytes.     

Modelling the variability of UK sugar beet yields under climate change and husbandry adaptations

In the future, UK summers are likely to be warmer and drier. Modelling differential water redistribution and uptake, we assessed the impact of future drier climates on sugar beet yields. Weather was generated for 1961–1990 (BASE) and predictions based on low‐ and high‐emission scenarios (LO, HI) described in the most recent global climate simulations by the Hadley Centre, UK. Distributions and variability of relative soil moisture deficit (rSMD) and yield gap (drought‐related yield loss, YG_dr = 1?actual yield/potential yield), and sugar yield were calculated for different time‐lines using regional weather, soil texture and management inputs. The rSMD is estimated to exceed the senescence threshold with a probability of 75% (2050sLO) to 95% (2080sHI) compared with 65% (BASE). The potential yield loss, YG_dr, is likely to increase from 17% (BASE) to 22% (2050sLO) to 35% (2080sHI). However, increasing potential growth rates (CO₂ × temperature) cause average sugar yields to rise by between 1.4 and 2 t ha^?1 (2050sLO and 2050sHI respectively). Yield variation (CV%) may increase from 15–18% (BASE) to 18–23% (2050s) and 19–25% (2080s). Differences are small between regions but large within regions because of soil variability. In future, sugar yields on sands (8 t ha^?1) are likely to increase by little (0.5–1.5 t ha^?1), but on loams yields are likely to increase from 11 to 13 t ha^?1 (2050sHI) and 15 t ha^?1 (2080sHI). Earlier sowing and later harvest are potential tools to compensate for drought‐related losses on sandy soils.     

Effect of IAA and GA3 on the Anatomical Characteristics, Straw and Fiber Yield and Quality of Flax

IAA and GA₃ had increased the stem thickness by increasing that of cortex, phloem fibers and xylem. Each had increased straw and fiber yield/plant, but the effect was more pronounced with GA₃ than IAA. The percentage of long fibers, strength and fineness increased significantly with GA₃. The latter two properties decreased with IAA.
