Synergistic and antagonistic effects of atrazine on the toxicity of organophosphorodithioate and organophosphorothioate insecticides to Chironomus tentans (Diptera: Chironomidae)

The acute toxicities of two organophosphorodithioate (dimethoate and disulfoton) and two organophosphorothioate (omethoate and demeton-S-methyl) insecticides were evaluated individually and in binary combination with the herbicide atrazine using fourth-instar larvae of the aquatic midge, Chironomus tentans. Atrazine alone up to 1000 μg/L did not show significant toxicity to the midges in a 48-h bioassay. However, atrazine concentrations as low as 1 μg/L in combination with dimethoate at EC₂₅ (concentration to affect 25% of tested midges), 100 μg/L in combination with disulfoton (EC₂₅), and 10 μg/L in combination with demeton-S-methyl (EC₂₅) significantly enhanced the toxicity of each organophosphate insecticide. In contrast, atrazine concentrations of 10 μg/L and above in combination with omethoate (EC₂₅) significantly decreased the toxicity of the insecticide. Biochemical analysis indicated that increased toxicity of dimethoate, disulfoton, and demeton-S-methyl in binary combination with atrazine correlated to the increased inhibition of acetylcholinesterase. Furthermore, cytochrome P450-dependent O-deethylation activity in the midges exposed to atrazine at 1000 μg/L was 1.5-fold higher than that in the control midges. Thus, atrazine appeared to induce cytochrome P450 monooxygenases in the midges. Elevated cytochrome P450 monooxygenase activity may increase the toxicities of dimethoate, disulfoton, and demeton-S-methyl by enhancing the oxidative activation of dimethoate into omethoate, and disulfoton and demeton-S-methyl into their sulfoxide analogs with increased anticholinesterase activity. In contrast, atrazine reduced the toxicity of omethoate possibly by enhancing the oxidative metabolic detoxification since omethoate does not require oxidative activation.     

禽呼肠孤病毒P17蛋白基因在大肠杆菌中的表达及其ELISA检测方法的建立

用设计合成的1对跨越禽呼肠孤病毒（ARV）P17非结构蛋白基因完整开放阅读框（ORF）的特异性引物，对ARVS1133株进行了RT-PCR扩增。扩增产物与pGEX-4T-1原核表达载体连接后，转化大肠杆菌BL21感受态细胞。经0．2mmol／LIPTG诱导，表达的融合蛋白分子质量为42.4ku，占茵体总蛋白的34％。表达产物P17蛋白经不同浓度尿素纯化后，纯度达到85％。Western-blotting显示，纯化的P17蛋白能与感染ARV的阳性血清反应，说明其具有抗原性。以此重组蛋白为包被抗原初步建立了用于鉴别检测ARV活病毒感染与灭活疫苗免疫的SPF鸡血清的ELISA。     

稻稗HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的抗药性水平及抗性机理分析

为明确东北稻区稻稗Echinochloa oryzoides HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的抗性水平及抗性机制,采用整株生物测定法测定稻稗种群对五氟磺草胺的敏感性,明确抗性种群的交互抗性和多抗性情况,研究3种细胞色素P450抑制剂对其敏感性的影响;并应用分子生物学方法进行稻稗的乙酰乳酸合酶(acetolactate synthase,ALS)离体活性测定、ALS基因序列分析及其表达量测定。结果表明:在东北稻区,五氟磺草胺对稻稗HJHL-715种群鲜重的抑制中剂量GR50为62.53 g/hm^2;稻稗HJHL-715的ALS基因序列中未发现氨基酸突变,其ALS离体活性与敏感种群的ALS离体活性无显著性差异,ALS基因表达量显著低于敏感种群。1-氨基苯并三唑(1-aminobenzotriazole,ABT)、胡椒基丁醚(piperomyl butoxide,PBO)、马拉硫磷3种P450抑制剂显著提高了稻稗HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的敏感性,使其对五氟磺草胺的GR50由原来的62.53 g/hm^2分别下降到5.78、5.02、3.53 g/hm^2。表明东北稻区已经出现了对五氟磺草胺具有高水平抗性的稻稗种群,稻稗HJHL-715种群对五氟磺草胺的抗性很可能是由细胞色素P450介导的代谢增强所致。

在日光温室内,采用盆栽方式研究了不同氮磷钾养分配比对土壤栽培黄瓜产量及其品质的影响。结果表明：增加磷素用量和比例可以显著提高黄瓜的产量;适量氮钾肥配合增施磷肥可以增加果实中可溶性蛋白含量,适量氮磷肥配合增施钾肥可以改善果实品质,提高可溶性糖和维生素C含量,降低硝酸盐含量。     

Effects of the herbicide LASSO MTX (alachlor 42% W/V) on biometric parameters and liver biomarkers in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio)

The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of subchronic exposure to the herbicide LASSO MTX (alachlor 42% W/V) on biometric parameters and important liver biomarkers in the common carp (Cyprinus carpio). One year old fish were exposed for 28 days to LASSO MTX added to the tank water at concentrations of 240 and 2400 μg L⁻¹. The exposure did not affect fish biometric parameters. Glutathione-S-tranferase (GST) activity in liver (hepatopancreas) remained unchanged in exposed fish when compared to controls. However, significant induction of total cytochrome P 450 (CYP 450), ethoxyresorufin-O-deethylase (EROD) activity and elevated glutathione (GSH) in liver of exposed fish were detected.     

磷酸铵在三种典型土壤中的转化及其有效性

研究了磷酸二氢铵(MAP)和磷酸氢二铵(DAP)在3种典型土壤中的转化,并评价了其有效性.结果表明:施用磷酸铵可改变肥际微域土壤的pH值,并且这种效应可持续几个月;MAP在黑土中,反应产物主要为Al-P,占38.8%,其次为Fe-P,占12%;在潮土中,Ca_2-P是主要形态,占34%,其次为Ca_8-P,占28%;在水稻土中,We-P是主要形态,占50%以上,其次为Ca_2-P,占20%.在黑土中We-P在DAP处理中所占的比例较MAP处理中高,而Al-P和Fe-P所占的比例正好与之相反;在最初的10 d里,We-P下降显著,随反应时间延长,DAP和MAP处理间We-P所占的比例差异减小;MAP在水稻土中的有效性最高,其次是潮土和黑土;在黑土中DAP的有效性较MAP要好,MAP主要转化成了Al-P.
