Agricultural practice changes with cultivating genetically modified herbicide-tolerant oilseed rape

To facilitate weed suppression, oilseed rape or canola (Brassica napus) has been genetically modified (GM) over the last two decades to incorporate herbicide tolerance (HT). The introduction of oilseed rape in commercial agriculture raises concerns about potential adverse agronomic and environmental effects linked to both the genetic modification and altered agricultural practice. How will this new crop modify the existing cropping practice? What are the potential agro-environmental implications of its introduction? This paper analyses and schematises recorded and conceivable agricultural practice changes with GMHT oilseed rape introduction and its likely agro-environmental effects. It develops a conceptual systematics of influencing factors, subsequent practice changes and likely agro-environmental effects. The results can be used to design the mandatory monitoring of adverse GM crop effects.     

基于决策树和随机森林模型的湖北油菜产量限制因子分析*1

利用1961-2014年湖北省主产县油菜产量统计资料及同期气象观测资料,采用决策树和随机森林模型,对影响油菜产量的气候因子进行分析。结果表明：温度、日照时数及干旱、湿渍害对油菜产量均有不同程度的影响,且因生育期不同而存在差异。油菜开花期以前对低温敏感,开花期以后对高温敏感;苗期和蕾薹期对干旱较敏感,开花期和角果期对湿渍害更敏感;日照时数对油菜产量的影响受水分状况的制约,在干旱状况下日照偏多不利于产量形成,偏湿状况下则表现为日照越多越有利于产量形成。在各限制因子中,以湿渍害发生频率对油菜产量的影响最高,其次是干旱和冻害。湿渍害对产量的影响以高湿寡照的次生灾害影响较土壤偏湿的直接影响更大。     

RAPD Assessment of Genetic Diversity of Yunjie(Eruca sativa Mill.) in China

Genetic diversity of Yunjie (Eruca sativa Mill. ) in China was assessed by analyses of RAPD (randomly amplified polymorphic DNA) markers. Twenty native cultivars representing Yunjie-growing ecotypes in China were selected as material in this study. Twelve out of the 64 tested random decamer primers were able to identify 131 stable RAPD bands from these Yunjie cultivars. Of them 105 bands, or 80.15% of the total, were polymorphic. Most Yunjie cultivars from the same ecotype had their characteristic DNA bands.Cluster analysis by unweighted pair group method of arithmetic means (UPGMA) suggested that the 20 Yunjie genotypes could be divided into four groups. The genetic distances among the 20 cultivars varied from 0. 117 8between Shuozhou and Shenchi to 0. 499 4 between Hetian and Xiliang. Hetian alone could be a new type of Yunjie identified in China because it had the greatest genetic distance from all the other tested cultivars. These results indicate that Chinese Yunjie have abundant genetic diversity. Classification of Chinese Yunjie based on the RAPD information was in good agreement with the relationships between these Yunjie cultivars in their geographic origins and their plant morphology.     

不同品种油菜不同生育期植株氮素分配动态

以不同氮素生理效率的两个油菜品种为试验材料,在正常供氮条件下,采用同位素示踪技术方法,研究不同生育期吸收的氮素在体内各器官的分布情况与油菜体内氮素生理效率的关系。结果表明,氮素生理效率高的品种742与氮素生理效率低的品种汇油50相比,叶片和籽粒中的氮素分配比例较大;角果皮中的氮素分配比例较小,氮素再转运量多;茎、根中氮素分配比例相当;叶片始终是最重要的再分配氮素源。     

Ca2+和Sr2+联合处理对油菜抗氧化酶活性的影响

[目的]为了了解环境介质中同时存在Ca2+和Sr2+2种离子时油菜幼苗的抗氧化酶活性的变化。[方法]在石英砂和Hoagland营养液培养体系中,用浓度为0、10、20和40 mmol/L SrCl2及浓度为0、5和10 mmol/L Ca(NO3)2处理3叶龄油菜幼苗。在处理0、7、14和21 d后,分别取样测定POD、CAT和SOD的活性。[结果]在相同的Sr2+浓度下,随着Ca2+浓度的增加,POD活性增加,Ca2+明显缓解Sr2+对油菜幼苗的毒害作用。[结论]该研究从抗氧化角度初步阐明油菜具有较高富集Sr2+能力的机理,为利用油菜对锶污染环境进行植物修复提供理论依据。

Cd胁迫对油菜和小白菜苗POD、PPO和SOD活性的影响

通过盆栽土培的方式研究了不同浓度Cd处理时耐性不同的两个基因型油菜和小白菜叶的POD、PPO及SOD的活性变化。结果表明: 油菜和小白菜SOD和POD活性在一定范围内均随胁迫强度的增加而升高; PPO活性随Cd处理浓度的增大呈明显的上升趋势。三种酶呈现不同程度的积极性保护作用, 且变化与其耐性一致。这说明POD、PPO、SOD活性的提高与维持是植物耐Cd胁迫的物质基础之一。     

体细胞杂交在油菜细胞质雄性不育创建和改良中的应用

油菜细胞质雄性不育作为生产油菜杂交种的主要授粉控制系统得到广泛利用，但由于油菜种内自然发生的有利用价值的雄性不育细胞质类型不多，所以种属间转移现有不育细胞质及发掘新型不育细胞质意义重大。体细胞杂交不仅避开了有性杂交亲和障碍的限制，还可实现两个杂交亲本细胞质基因组的重组，是一种快速有效、应用广泛的转移和诱导雄性不育细胞质的手段。本文综述了利用原生质体杂交技术在油菜种内、种间和属间转移雄性不育细胞质以及通过细胞质基因组重组改良和创建新型雄性不育细胞质的研究进展，并讨论了利用体细胞杂交方法创建新型雄性不育细胞质的应用前景。     

Canola genotypes differ in potassium efficiency during vegetative growth

There is no knowledge about the differential capacity of canola genotypes to take up potassium (K) and produce dry matter under conditions of low soil K availability. Hence, 84 canola genotypes were screened for K efficiency in the glasshouse. Plants were grown in sealed pots containing K-responsive, sandy soil without or with K added. Twelve genotypes were selected for advanced screening in the glasshouse in a different K-responsive soil. Genotypes with a mean K efficiency ratio (the ratio of shoot dry weight at deficient and adequate K supply) greater than one standard error above or below the median genotype value were classified as K-efficient or K-inefficient, respectively. There were significant differences between genotypes in the K efficiency ratio in both screening experiments, indicating that genotypes responded differently to K availability. In the initial screening experiment, 19 genotypes were rated as K-efficient and nine genotypes rated as K-inefficient based on the K efficiency ratio. In the advanced screening experiment with 12 genotypes, three genotypes were rated as K-efficient and two as K-inefficient. Genotypes Wesbarker and Rainbow were K-efficient and Genkai K-inefficient in both experiments. Correlation of the K efficiency ratio with (i) shoot K content in the initial and advanced screening and (ii) shoot K concentration in the advanced screening, indicates that the observed differences in K efficiency were due to genotypic differences in both the uptake and the utilization of K. K-efficient genotypes have a potential to improve canola yields on soils with low K availability.
