Evaluation of Corn Gluten Feed as a Dietary Ingredient for Pond-Raised Channel Catfish Ictalurus punctatus

Abstract.— This study was conducted to evaluate corn gluten feed as an alternative feedstuff in the diet of pond-raised channel catfish Ictalurus punctatus . Three 32%-protein diets containing 0%, 25%, or 50% corn gluten feed were tested. Channel catfish fingerlings (average weight: 57 g/fish) were stocked into 15 0.04-ha ponds at a rate of 18,530 fish/ha. Five ponds were used for each dietary treatment. Fish were fed to satiation once daily for a 147-d growing period. No differences were observed in feed consumption, weight gain, feed conversion ratio, survival, or fillet protein concentration among fish fed the test diets. Fish fed diets containing 25% and 50% corn gluten feed exhibited a lower level of visceral fat and a higher carcass yield than fish fed the control diet without corn gluten feed. The diet containing 50% corn gluten feed resulted in a lower level of fillet fat and a higher level of moisture than the control diet. There were no visible differences in the coloration of skin or fillet of channel catfish fed diets with and without corn gluten feed. Results from this study indicated that channel catfish can efficiently utilize corn gluten feed at levels up to 50%n without adverse effect on feed palatability, weight gain, or feed efficiency. Corn gluten feed may be beneficial in reducing fattiness of channel catfish and improving carcass yield by reducing the digestible energy to protein ratio of the diet.

城市公园绿地边缘效应及其影响研究

城市公园绿地与城市其他景观系统的交界处存在着边缘区,边缘区特殊的位置形成了不同于绿地内部的小环境,产生了边缘效应。边缘效应不仅影响公共绿地园林植物群落的稳定性,同时破坏了公共绿地景观的美观,边缘效应对城市公共绿地的作用还没有引起足够重视。通过对成都市东湖公园绿地边缘的植物调查,初步探讨了城市公园绿地的边缘效应及其产生的影响,并对抑制城市公园绿地边缘效应的影响提出了建议。

Biological Control of Sclerotinia Diseases of Rapeseed by Aerial Applications of the Mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans

Indoor and field experiments were conducted to evaluate the efficacy of applying the mycoparasite Coniothyrium minitans to the aerial parts of rapeseed plants at the flowering stage to control sclerotinia diseases caused by Sclerotinia sclerotiorum. Under controlled conditions, a petal inoculation technique was used to determine the effect of conidial suspensions of C. minitans on suppression of sclerotinia leaf blight. Results showed that C. minitans was effective in inhibiting infection initiated by ascospores of S. sclerotiorum on flower petals by restricting mycelial growth of the pathogen. Suppression of lesion development was related to the conidial concentration of C. minitans, with larger lesions at low concentration (5×10³conidia ml⁻¹), but smaller lesions at high concentration (5×10⁴ conidia ml⁻¹ or higher). When C. minitans-treated rapeseed leaves were inoculated with mycelia of S. sclerotiorum, C. minitans failed to prevent infection of leaves, but caused a significant reduction in number of sclerotia produced on the diseased leaves. No significant difference in efficacy was detected between the two isolates of C. minitans, LRC 2137 and Chy-1, on the two rapeseed cultivars, Westar (spring type) and Zhongyou 821 (winter type). Results of field trials showed a significant reduction of stem rot of rapeseed in four (1997, 1999, 2003 and 2004) out of five years by aerial application of C. minitans, compared with controls. No significant difference in suppressive efficacy was observed between the treatments of C. minitans (10⁶ conidia ml⁻¹), C. minitans (10⁶ conidia ml⁻¹) + benomyl (50 μg ml⁻¹) and benomyl (100 μg ml⁻¹) in 2003, and between the treatments of C. minitans (10⁶ conidia ml⁻¹), C. minitans (10⁶ conidia ml⁻¹) + vinclozolin (100 μg ml⁻¹) and vinclozolin (500 μg ml⁻¹) in 2004. Sclerotia of S. sclerotiorum collected from diseased plants in plots treated with C. minitans in 1999, 2000 and 2003, or with C. minitans + benomyl in 2003 were infected by C. minitans at frequencies ranging from 21.3 to 54.5%. This study concludes that aerial spraying of C. minitans is an effective method for controlling sclerotinia diseases of rapeseed.     

仿生人工木材的研究进展

天然木材是地球上丰富的自然资源,具有优异的力学特性与美学特征,也是一种独特的工程材料;同时,由木材衍生出来的一些多功能复合材料,也被广泛地应用于各个领域。但是,天然木材这种生物质资源也有很多缺陷,其形貌以及性质易受环境等外在因素的影响而发生改变,并且由于生长周期过长,木材的供给量不能满足日益增长的需求量。受天然木材独特的分级多孔结构和化学成分的启发,研究人员通过利用先进的仿生合成技术进行自组装实验设计,研制出具有与天然木材分级多孔结构相似、力学性能更好的仿生人工木材。相比于天然木材,仿生人工木材在力学性能、功能性、智能性、防腐蚀、防火方面上优势明显。笔者从设计原理、制备方法、功能化设计等方面阐述了仿生人工木材的研究进展,为发展具有天然木材独特各向异性结构的高性能仿生工程材料提供参考,同时也分析了仿生人工木材现阶段发展所面临的问题、挑战以及进一步发展方向。     

基于ITS和形态学系统分析新疆桦木属种间系统发育关系

以新疆桦木属的6个种和其他10种桦木属植物为材料,利用Clustal Omega和MEGA 7.0软件对ITS基因序列进行遗传分析,同时利用SPSS 25.0软件对7个形态性状进行主成分和聚类分析,探讨新疆桦木属植物的系统发育关系。结果表明：在ITS遗传演化分析中,新疆桦木属中的桦木亚组和柴桦亚组遗传距离较近,为0.0047,桦木亚组内部绝对遗传距离为0.0060;在形态性状主成分分析中,特征值大于1的累计贡献率为84.5%,桦木属植物分类性状主要取决于生活型、叶片形状、果苞背部被毛、树皮剥裂及纹路;新疆桦木属植物ITS序列和形态学聚类结果基本一致,盐桦与甸生桦聚为一组,与《中国植物志》中盐桦归属于桦木亚组,而甸生桦属于柴桦亚组的分类存在一定差异,但与《新疆植物志》中两者被划分在柴桦亚组的结论有相似之处。     

树冠环绕式仿形对靶施药机设计与试验

针对树冠横切面形状引起施药机喷头与树冠间距发生动态变化从而导致树冠内、外和两侧、中部等区域喷药量不均匀、较多药液喷洒在无效空间区域的问题,该研究提出一种基于激光雷达树干定位的树冠环绕式仿形对靶喷药方式。首先,基于喷头环绕树冠的运动需求,设计对称交叉布置的两自由度仿形机构,并建立喷头运动学模型,采用基于二环PID算法对喷杆伸缩和喷头旋转进行精准控制,通过匹配施药机前进速度实现喷头半圆和多边形轨迹仿形控制;然后采用平面激光雷达对树干高度的水平面进行扫描,提出基于DBSCAN（dnsity-based spatial clustering of applications with noise）密度聚类和3点树干形状拟合的树干动态识别和定位方法;再次,在FreeRTOS框架下搭建双层控制系统,对树干定位感知、动态喷头仿形轨迹控制、数据通信和操控交互等多任务进行并行处理,实现基于激光雷达树干位置信息的喷头动态伺服仿形控制。最后,以雾滴沉积量、雾滴密度、药液覆盖率和雾滴体积中值直径作为量化指标,在树冠不同区域布置10个检测点,对环绕式和定距施药开展6组对比试验。雾滴结果表明,树干纵向和横向定位误差分别为9.44和1.74 cm,环绕式仿形施药方式的平均雾滴密度为72.2 个/cm2,平均沉积量为1.99 μL/cm2,药液覆盖率为47.5%,相比定距施药方式,雾滴沉积量和雾滴密度分别提升36.3 %和58.3 %,雾滴沉积量变异系数降低了60%,环绕式仿形对靶喷雾可有效提高药液利用率和喷药均匀性。
