烟蚜茧蜂Aphidius gifuensis滞育诱导研究

研究了不同温度、光周期以及温光组合条件对烟蚜茧蜂滞育诱导的效果。结果表明,僵蚜形成前,各种温度、光周期及温光组合条件均著的作用。僵蚜形成后,低温可大量诱导产生滞育,０℃处理３０ｄ,６０％以上个体进入滞育,而光周期的诱导作用仍不明显。作者认为你温是引起烟蚜茧蜂滞育的主要因素,处理的敏感时期为老熟幼虫－预肾期。滞育虫态为肾。     

红富士苹果花芽孕育时期的研究

以七年生‘红富士’苹果为试材,采用摘果摘叶法和不同时期喷施 GA_3法研究了苹果花芽孕育的时期。结果表明:苹果花芽孕育时期由二个不同的生理过程所组成:起动过程和完成过程。摘果处理可以判断起动过程是否完成,摘叶和喷施 GA_3可以判断完成过程是否结束。花芽孕育起动后至完成,对 GA_3较为敏感,这时期用低浓度 GA_3处理就可以明显减少花芽形成,但是,GA_3对是否起动似乎不起主要影响。本试验的‘红富士’苹果花芽孕育起动过程在盛花后34～45d,完成过程在盛花后45～77d。     

抗戊唑醇苹果轮纹病菌的紫外诱导及其生物学特性

在含戊唑醇的马铃薯葡萄糖琼脂(PDA)培养基上,通过紫外线诱导获得了9株对戊唑醇具有不同抗性水平的苹果轮纹病菌 Botryosphaeria berengriana f.sp. piricola 抗药性突变体,其抗性指数在11.00~67.88之间。将该抗药性突变体继代培养9代后,大多数突变体的抗性指数逐渐下降,但其中有2 株抗药性突变体(UV-TS1-f和UV-TS1-10)仍保持较高的抗性水平;抗药性突变体的致病力与敏感菌株相比未发生明显变化;与敏感菌株一样,抗药性突变体适宜生长的温度也为25~28 ℃,pH值为7~8;在含不同碳、氮源的培养基中,抗药性突变体的菌丝生长与菌丝干重与敏感菌株相比差异明显。研究表明,苹果轮纹病菌在药剂选择压下易形成抗戊唑醇群体,具有中等或高抗药性风险。     

火鹤四倍体的诱导与鉴定

以火鹤二倍体品种‘Smaragd’和‘Artus’的愈伤组织为诱导材料,利用秋水仙素处理的方法进行火鹤四倍体的离体诱导。结果发现,火鹤四倍体诱导率因基因型、秋水仙素处理浓度及处理时间不同而异。不同品种的四倍体诱导率不同,低浓度的秋水仙素的诱导率要高于高浓度的诱导率;相同浓度处理下,长时间处理的诱导率比短时间处理的诱导率要高。两个品种分别在含0.2 g/L秋水仙素浓度的液体培养基中振荡培养14 d的四倍体诱导率最高,分别为52.50%和61.90%。随着秋水仙素浓度的增加,愈伤组织的绝对生长速度和平均芽分化数逐渐降低。改良压片法是鉴定火鹤四倍体的可靠方法。

节节麦幼胚再生体系的建立

为建立高效的节节麦幼胚再生体系,以节节麦幼胚为外植体,通过正交设计,探索基本培养基、2,4-D、碳源、KT等因素对幼胚愈伤组织诱导、分化及植株再生效果的影响。结果表明,4种因素中,基本培养基对节节麦幼胚愈伤组织诱导的影响最显著(P0.05),2,4-D浓度对节节麦幼胚愈伤组织诱导也有显著影响(P0.05),添加3.0mg·L~(-1) 2,4-D的培养基诱导出的愈伤组织质量高,淡黄色,表面呈不规则颗粒状,质地致密,再生频率可以达到17.62%。KT浓度对节节麦愈伤分化影响最显著,基本培养基、2,4-D和碳源对节节麦幼胚愈伤分化均无显著影响。不同碳源对节节麦幼胚愈伤组织诱导和分化的影响均不显著,为节约成本可直接选用30g·L~(-1)蔗糖作为碳源。节节麦幼胚组织培养的最佳组合是:愈伤诱导培养基为MS培养基+3mg·L~(-1) 2,4-D+15g·L~(-1)蔗糖+15g·L~(-1)甘露醇,愈伤分化培养基为MS培养基+15g·L~(-1)蔗糖+15g·L~(~(-1))甘露醇+1.0mg·L~(-1) KT。     

Cytological studies on adventitious shoots and minitubers of a monoploid potato clone

Summary A three step procedure for adventitious shoot regeneration on leaf explants of monoploid potato clone H7322 and a minituber induction procedure on stem segments have been described. Chromosome counts on 92 adventitious shoots showed that 85% of them had been polyploidized, i.e., 71% were diploid, 1% tetraploid, and 13% were mixoploid. Cytophotometric studies on nuclei of soil grown tubers of tetraploid cv Astarte, of 1x, 2x and 4x adventitious shoots of H7322, and of diploid H²578 showed in all cases polyploidization with prominent classes up to 8C and 16C. However, nuclei of pith cells of 5 weeks old minitubers which had developed on monoploid H7322 itself or on 1x adventitious shoots of H7322 showed predominantly 1C and 2C values. Pith cells of minitubers of monoploid H7322 were screened, after iodine staining, for the presence of variant cells containing reddish-brown staining (amylose-free) starch. In more than 75% of the investigated minitubers one or a few of such variant cells were found indicating that such a variation occurs in minitubers of monoploid potato and that this variant character is expressed in cells of vegetative storage organs like potato tubers.     

Improved techniques for the induction and isolation of polyploids in the genus Fragaria

Summary The sensitivity of Fragaria seedlings to colchicine is dependent on the plant organ that is treated. Complete immersion of seedlings in a 1.5% colchicine solution results in total lethality, whereas the survival rates were more than 75% even at concentrations of 3.0% when only shoot apices were treated. High proportions of polyploids were isolated by treating shoot apices of seedlings with a 2.0% colchicine solution for 24–28 h. The dropper method is preferred to the tube method as it involves a minimum of manipulation and requires simple equipment. A differential response to colchicine was observed within and between different diploid species, diploid and tetraploid hybrids.     

Increase in milt production by hormonal treatment in the pejerrey fish Odontesthes bonariensis (Valenciennes 1835)

In spite of interest in the cultivation of the pejerrey fish Odontesthes bonariensis (Cuvier & Valenciennes 1835), there are few studies on subjects required to advance this activity. One of the problems is the synchronization of female and male maturation to provide eggs and sperm for larval production. The low volume of expressible milt, either in wild or culture fish, is a major problem. The aim of this work was to study the effectiveness of the administration of different hormones on sperm production in pejerrey. Milt production was enhanced by the injection of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) (16.7‐fold increase, 625 IU kg^?1), carp pituitary extracts (13.5‐fold increase, 30 mg kg^?1), salmon pituitary extracts (12.8‐fold increase, 30 mg kg^?1), salmon‐type gonadotropin‐releasing hormone analogue (GnRH) (16.7‐fold increase, 10 μg kg^?1) and mammalian‐type GnRH analogue (10.8‐fold increase, 20 μg kg^?1). Sperm concentration, motility and the fertilization rate were not statistically different compared with control groups. It was also demonstrated that sperm could be obtained off‐season. Taken together, hCG is recommended to stimulate pejerrey spermiation because it is effective in low doses is inexpensive and is widely available.     

Distribution and induction of cytochrome P450 1A1 in the rainbow trout brain

Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 1A1 participates in the activation as well as detoxification of environmental pollutants such as aromatic hydrocarbons. This CYP form is also efficiently induced by aromatic hydrocarbons. The presence of CYP 1A1 in the brain might thus be of physiological and toxicological importance. In the present investigation on rainbow trout, the distribution of 7-ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity, a cytochrome CYP 1A1 catalyzed reaction, was measured in whole tissue homogenates from brain parts. In control fish, a relatively high activity was found in the rainbow trout olfactory bulb compared to the other brain parts. Although an EROD induction (3 to 7-fold) by β-naphthoflavone (BNF) was recorded in all brain parts from the rainbow trout, the highest induced activity was measured in the olfactory bulbs. To ascertain the distribution of EROD activity in cells, whole brain tissue was subfractionated by differential centrifugation. The fractionation scheme separated mitochondria (P2 fraction) and microsomes (P3 fraction) as determined by marker enzymes and electron microscopy. In control rainbow trout, a low EROD activity could be measured in the P2 fraction. BNF induced the EROD activity in both P2 and P3 fractions. Western blotting showed the induction by BNF of a protein band in the P2 and P3 fractions with a molecular mass around 58,000 when highly specific anti-cod CYP 1A1 antibodies were used. ELISA measurements confirmed the induction of CYP 1A1 protein in the rainbow trout brain subcellular fractions.
