小麦4B染色体上LOX基因的等位变异及其区域分布

为了解中国不同麦区小麦种质资源籽粒脂肪氧化酶（lipoxygenase,LOX）活性相关基因TaLox-B1的差异和分布,利用小麦4B染色体上的功能标记LOX16和LOX18对7个麦区的436份种质资源进行分子检测。结果表明：在供试材料中共检测到3种TaLox-B1基因等位变异类型,分别为TaLox-B1a（与高LOX活性相关)、TaLox-B1b（与低LOX活性相关）和杂合型,其频率分别为19.0％、70.4％和10.6％。小麦LOX活性基因不同变异类型在各生态区的分布存在明显差异：基因型TaLox-B1a在黄淮冬麦区、北部冬麦区和长江中下游冬麦区分布较多,其比例分别为21.1%、19.8%和17.6%;基因型TaLox-B1b在西南冬麦区和长江中下游冬麦区分布较多,比例分别为87.9%、72.5%;杂合型仅存在于北部冬麦区、黄淮冬麦区与长江中下游冬麦区,比例分别为14.2%、12.4%和9.8%。利用标记LOX16和LOX18对53个自选高代品系进行分子检测,发现自选品系仅有TaLox-B1b与杂合型两种基因型,其中基因型TaLox-B1ab有32个,比例为60.4%。采用分子标记辅助选择,有利于快速鉴定小麦籽粒LOX活性,加速LOX的遗传改良和新品种选育。     

菌根真菌液泡的分离及特性研究

从菌根真菌黑核菌（ＣｅｎｏｃｏｃｃｕｍｇｅｏｐｈｉｌｕｍＦｒ．）和鹅膏菌［Ａｍａｎｉｔａｍｕｓｃａｒｉａ（Ｌ．ｅｘＦｒ．）Ｐｅｒｓ．ｅｘＨｏｏｋ．］菌丝中，采用多元碱化合物诱导原生质体裂解方法，分离出细胞器──液泡。实验结果表明，在加磷的ＭＭＮＣ培养基中培养４—７天的菌丝经水解酶作用所释放出的原生质体具有较高的液泡化程度；液泡产率约为原生质体的５－１０％；细胞质特征酶葡萄糖－６－磷酸－脱氢酶活性测定结果证明了液泡的纯度；而等量原生质体和液泡中酸性磷酸酶及α－甘露糖苷酶活性的比较表明这两种酶主要存在于液泡中，因此，它们可以作为菌根真菌黑核菌和鹅膏菌液泡的特征酶。     

菲莱氏温扬球虫(Wenyonella philiplevinei)受精和卵囊壁形成的超微结构研究

本文利用透射电镜研究了寄生于家鸭小肠上皮细胞的菲莱氏温扬球虫的受精和卵囊壁的形成过程。作者在感染后96 h 的样品中发现一例大、小配子已受精;小配子已进入大配子中,大配子胞质中有一根纵切的鞭毛,小配子的核呈流体状,位于大配子核附近。卵囊壁是由成囊颗粒内含物进入合子表面的膜之间沉积成层而形成。成囊颗粒Ⅰ形成外层卵囊壁,成囊颗粒Ⅱ形成内层卵囊壁。沉积于膜之间的成囊颗粒Ⅰ内含物逐渐浓缩,堆积成颗粒状,使卵囊壁外层外表面形成颗粒状突起。成熟的卵囊壁由三层组成:即薄的外周膜、外层和内层。其内的合子原生质还被两层单位膜包裹。     

喀斯特地区奶牛营养需求模型研究

选择贵州喀斯特地区中国荷斯坦奶牛48头,其中泌乳盛期、泌乳中期、泌乳末期及干奶期的奶牛各12头.将每个泌乳阶段的12头奶牛随机分为3组,分别饲喂不同营养水平的日粮,记录试验牛的日采食量、日产奶量、试验期间体重变化等数据.根据营养学原理,利用EXCEL回归分析,研究奶牛的维持需要量,构建营养需求模型.研究发现:DM(kg)=0.084 5W0.75+0.425FCM+(1.529 6+0.003 714×BW)×△WNER(kJ/d)=[424.40+2.5x(18-T)]Wa0.75+3 138×(0.4M+15×F%×M)+3 138K1×△WDCP(g/d)=3.20W0.75+M×DCP%,0.60+K2×△WCa(g/d)=0.072 5W+4.5×(0.4M+15×F%×M)+△W×20P(g/d)=0.050 513W+3×(0.4M+15×F%×M)+△W×13

同核异质雄性不育材料与无融合生殖材料Ｃ１００１Ｂ杂交和回交表明，Ｃ１００１Ｂ的双胚苗，是受核基因控制的性状，双胚苗频率的表达，具明显的胞质效应和胞核效应，在胞质效应中，不育胞质与可质胞质的差异尤其显著，不育胞质对双胚苗的表现有明显的抑制作用，不同世代间胞质效应和胞核效应的表现也不一致。此外，环境条件对Ｃ１００１的双胚苗表现有一定的影响。     

Can treatment of <Emphasis Type="Italic">Brachiaria decumbens</Emphasis> (signal grass) improve its utilisation in the diet in small ruminants?—a review

Brachiaria decumbens is an extremely productive tropical grass due to its aggressive growth habit and its adaptation to a varied range of soil types and environments. As a result of the vast availability, treated B. decumbens demonstrates as a promising local material that could be utilised as an improved diet for sheep and goats. Despite the fact that the grass significantly increases weight gains in grazing farm animals, there were many reports of general ill-thrift and sporadic outbreaks of photosensitivity in livestock due to the toxic compound of steroidal saponin found in B. decumbens. Ensiling and haymaking were found to be effective in removing toxin and undesirable compounds in the grass. Biological treatments using urea, activated charcoal, polyethylene glycol, and effective microorganisms were found to be useful in anti-nutritional factor deactivation and improving the nutritive values of feedstuffs. Besides, oral administration of phenobarbitone showed some degree of protection in sheep that fed on B. decumbens pasture. In this review, we aim to determine the effect of B. decumbens toxicity and possible treatment methods on the grass to be used as an improved diet for small ruminant.     

Risk factors associated with feline urolithiasis

Urinary tract diseases are among the main reasons for consultation in veterinary clinics and hospitals. It affects animals of any age, breed and gender. Among the diseases that affect this system, urolithiasis is the second largest cause of clinical signs compatible with feline urinary tract disease. The term urolithiasis refers to the presence of uroliths in any region of the urinary tract, but it is more commonly seen in the bladder and urethra. Uroliths are classified based on the type of mineral present in their composition, therefore, quantitative and qualitative analyzes are important for a better therapeutic approach. The animals may suffer from the disease and be asymptomatic, or show nonspecific clinical signs, making the diagnosis difficult. The disease should not be seen as a single problem, but as a consequence of various disorders. As dietary, metabolic, genetic and infectious causes, as well as factors that potentiate the chance of development of uroliths such as breed, age, sex, age range, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, geographic region and climate. Thus, the knowledge of the factors that influence the formation of uroliths, as well as the understanding of the pathophysiology, are key elements for better alternatives of therapy and prevention. The recognition of these factors helps to identify susceptible populations, minimizing exposure and increasing the protection factors, which facilitates the diagnosis and treatment of patients with urolithiasis. The objective of this paper is to present the main risk factors involved in the formation of urinary lithiasis in felines.
