Metastasis of osteosarcoma to the bladder in a Finnish harrier: a case report

Osteosarcoma has not been previously reported to have metastasized to the urinary bladder in the dog. Here such a case is reported; the diagnosis was based on clinical, radiological, scintigraphic and histological verification of the primary and metastatic tumours.     

尾叶桉无性系多性状遗传分析

对广西山口林场、钦廉林场天堂分场及钦州市犀牛脚镇等3个地点20个以尾叶桉为主参试无性系6、12、18、42个月生的生长性状进行分析与遗传测定.结果表明:参试的20个无性系生长性状在无性系、地点和无性系×地点交互效应上均存在极显著差异;42个月生参试的20个无性系在不同试验地点平均生长量表现为:钦廉林场天堂分场>山口林场...     

尾叶桉无性系多点遗传分析及优良无性系选择

对广西3地点20个以尾叶桉为主要亲本的桉树无性系进行6、12、18个月生的性状分析与遗传测定。结果表明,生长性状在无性系、地点和无性系×地点交互效应上均存在极显著差异,试验可选择出生长优良的无性系;不同地点生长量表现为:山口>天堂>犀牛脚;18个月生时性状综合分析和评定表明,12、17、18号无性系适应性广,具速生丰产性,可试行推广利用,而2、3、5、6号无性系丰产性和稳定性差,缺少利用价值。     

The effect of late summer fertilization on the frost hardening of second-year Scots pine seedlings

In this study the effect of summer fertilization on the initiation of frost hardening of containerized second-year Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) seedlings is studied. During the second growing season three different fertilization programs (water soluble NPK with micronutrients) determined by electrical conductivity of peat water extract (0.2, 0.5 and 1.2 mS cm^-1) were initiated. The growth and nutrient concentrations of needles were monitored during the fertilization period. The frost hardiness of seedlings was assessed on four separate occasions at two week intervals from August 7 to September 18. This assessment was based on artificial freezing tests and visual damage scoring of tissue browning on current-year needles. Clear differences in foliar N, P and K concentrations were observed between the fertilization treatments. Fertilization prolonged the growing period of needles and increased root collar diameter. In all the tests, the highest fertilization level resulted in the highest level of frost hardiness. The difference between the fertilization treatments ranged from 1 °C to 2.2 °C. Frost hardiness increased with an increase in foliar nitrogen concentration and slightly less consistently with increases in foliar phosphorus and potassium concentrations.
