Comparison of the microbial communities of alpacas and sheep fed diets with three different ratios of corn stalk to concentrate

The objective of this study was to investigate the characteristics of ruminal microbial communities of alpacas (Lama pacos) and sheep (Ovis aries) fed three diets with varying ratios of roughage (corn stalk) to concentrate, 3:7 (LS), 5:5 (MS) and 7:3 (HS). Six alpacas (one-year-old and weighing 29.5 ± 7.1 kg) and six sheep (one-year-old and weighing 27.9 ± 2.7 kg) were used in this study, in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square experiment. Total protozoa concentration was determined under the microscope; total fungi and methanogens were assessed using quantitative polymerase chain reaction and expressed as a percentage of total bacterial 16S rRNA gene copies; bacterial communities were investigated by targeted 16S rRNA gene (V3–V4 region) sequencing. The percentage of fungi was significantly higher in alpacas than in sheep under the LS diet, while the concentration of protozoa was significantly lower in alpacas under HS, MS and LS diets. The alpha diversity including Shannon, Chao l and ACE indices of bacterial communities was higher in alpacas than in sheep, under the LS diet. A total of 299 genera belonging to 22 phyla were observed in the forestomach of alpaca and sheep, with Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes dominating both animal species. Phyla Armatimonadetes and Fusobacteria, as well as 64 genera, were detected only in alpacas, whereas phyla Acidobacteria and Nitrospira, as well as 44 genera, were found only in sheep. The abundance of cellulolytic bacteria, including Butyrivibrio and Pseudobutyrivibrio, was higher in alpacas than in sheep under all three diets. These differences in the forestomach microbial communities partly explained why alpacas displayed a higher poor-quality roughage digestibility, and a lower methane production. Results also revealed that the adverse effects of high-concentrate diets (70%) were lesser in alpacas than in sheep.

农村基层信访工作在社会危机管理中的效用研究

信访工作是党和政府联系群众的桥梁与纽带,是维护和实现群众民主权利的重要手段。随着农村经济的迅猛发展和农村改革的不断深化,给农村社会经济生活和人们的利益关系带来极大的变动,所引发的群众来信来访事件有所上升,有些过激行为和群体性事件对社会发展造成极其恶劣的影响。做好农村基层的信访工作,在社会危机管理中将发挥重大效用。     

猪hnRNPUL1基因克隆及变异剪接体鉴定

旨在克隆民猪hnRNPUL1基因全长编码区（complete coding sequence，CDS）序列并进行可变剪接分析，研究其组织表达和亚细胞定位情况。本研究以3头3月龄民猪为试验材料，利用RT-PCR技术克隆hnRNPUL1基因CDS及可变剪接体，应用qRT-PCR检测其在心、肝、脾、肺、肾、胃、大肠、小肠、背肌、腿肌等组织中的表达情况，同时，在生物信息学预测的基础上，通过融合表达绿色荧光蛋白的方法鉴定核定位序列。研究结果表明，猪hnRNPUL1基因（GenBank accession No.：MN399154）CDS全长2 580 bp，预期编码的多肽链存在着hnRNPs家族的特征性结构域——SAP、SPRY和AAA；猪hnRNPUL1普遍表达于所检测的各组织中，其中在脾脏中表达量最高，在腿肌中表达量最低；核定位序列（NLS）位于多肽链的133~430 aa处，与生物学信息学预测的结果存在着偏差；同时获得了2个变异剪接体和11种可变剪接片段。本研究结果对进一步揭示猪hnRNPUL1基因功能及转录调控机制提供了基础。

基于穿刺测试的萝卜耐裂根性研究

为了准确客观地评价萝卜的裂根性,为耐裂根萝卜品种的筛选提供理论依据,采用TA.XT Plus型物性测试仪进行穿刺试验,对耐裂根品种韩玉1号和易裂根品种雪单1号肉质根的上、中、下部位分别进行相关测定。试验结果显示,不同部位的屈服力、屈服能、脆性、根皮及根肉平均硬度的差异并不一致;而耐裂根品种的屈服力、屈服能、脆性与易裂根品种的差异显著,说明屈服力、屈服能、脆性指标可以作为萝卜耐裂根性的主要指标,且均应选取萝卜肉质根中部进行穿刺测试。     

小麦轮回选择的初步实践

利用太谷核不育小麦,开展以抗锈和矮秆丰产为主要目标的轮回选择,选择压分别为5.6%和4.7%.抗锈群通过一轮混合选择,条锈病反应型0—1级的抗病株率和严重度25%以下的轻病株率较基础群体分别提高12.5%和5.1%.矮秆丰产群采用两种轮选方案.经两轮选择看出,改良半姐妹法其群体的株高比基础群体明显降低6.2厘米,其余性状有向选择目标集中的趋势;混合选择法其群体除穗粒数外,其余性状进展趋势与上相同.
