多效唑对不同品质类型花生产量、品质及相关酶活性的影响

选用高蛋白品种KB008（KB008）、高脂肪品种花17(H17)和高油酸/亚油酸（O/L）品种农大818（818）,在大田栽培条件下,研究了盛花后期叶面喷施多效唑(PBZ)对不同品质类型花生产量、品质及相关碳、氮代谢酶活性的影响.结果表明：喷施PBZ显著增加了3种品质类型花生荚果产量,原因是增加了单株结果数,降低了千克果数而提高了双仁果率.喷施PBZ不同程度地提高了3种类型花生籽仁脂肪和可溶性糖含量,降低了蛋白质含量,显著增加了高脂肪品种H17的O/L值.PBZ使高O/L值品种818的脂肪含量增加显著,同时其蛋白质含量显著降低,而对其他两品种的蛋白质和脂肪含量影响较小.喷施PBZ均降低了3种类型花生结荚期叶片硝酸还原酶（NR）活性及结荚期和饱果期叶片谷氨酰胺合成酶和谷氨酸脱氢酶活性,818的3种酶活性降低幅度最大,KB008和H17的酶活性降幅较小;喷施PBZ均降低了3种类型花生结荚期和饱果期叶片谷草转氨酶和谷丙转氨酶活性.说明氮代谢酶活性的降低是喷施PBZ降低3种类型花生籽仁蛋白质含量的主要原因.喷施PBZ均提高了3品种结荚期和饱果期叶片蔗糖合成酶和磷酸蔗糖合成酶活性,其中显著提高了818的2种酶活性,而对KB008和H17的活性提高不显著;喷施PBZ提高了3品种结荚期和饱果期的磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶和1,5-二磷酸核酮糖羧化酶活性,其中对818在结荚期的活性提高最显著,对H17活性提高较小.碳代谢酶活性的增强是喷施PBZ提高花生籽仁脂肪含量的生理基础.     

酸性土施用钙肥对花生产量和品质及相关代谢酶活性的影响

以花生(Arachis hypogaea)品种‘花育22号’为研究材料, 2013年在威海文登市、2014年在日照三庄镇的丘陵砂壤土上进行试验, 研究增施钙肥对酸性土花生的产量、品质的影响, 以及相关碳、氮代谢酶活性差异, 探讨酸性土花生钙肥最佳用量。试验设3个钙肥处理, 分别为每667 m²施CaO 0 kg (T₀)、14 kg (T₁)、28 kg (T₂)。结果表明: 酸性土增施钙肥显著增加了花生的荚果产量, 两个试验点T₁处理平均增产26.92%, T₂处理平均增产21.65%。增产原因是增施钙肥显著增加了花生单株结果数, 提高了双仁果率, 从而增加了单株荚果产量, 同时增加了籽仁的饱满度而显著提高了出仁率。钙肥处理均显著提高了花生籽仁蛋白质和脂肪含量, 提高了赖氨酸、总氨基酸含量和油酸/亚油酸(O/L)比值。酸性土增施钙肥显著提高了花生叶片的谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)、谷氨酸合成酶(GOGAT)、谷草转氨酶(GOT)和谷丙转氨酶(GPT)活性, 其中T₁处理的GS活性显著高于T₂处理。钙肥处理显著提高了花生生育前期的叶片磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶(PEPCase)、蔗糖合成酶(SS)和蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性, 而生育后期的活性低于不施钙肥处理。不同钙肥施用量相比, 每667 m²施14 kg CaO的经济效益最好, 其产量最高, 品质最优。     

氮素水平对花生氮素代谢及相关酶活性的影响

 在大田高产条件下研究了氮素水平对花生(Arachis hypogaea)可溶性蛋白质、游离氨基酸含量及氮代谢相关酶活性的影响, 结果表明, 适当提高氮素水平既能增加花生各器官中可溶性蛋白质和游离氨基酸的含量, 又能提高硝酸还原酶、谷氨酰胺合成酶和谷氨酸脱氢酶等氮素同化酶的活性, 使其达到同步增加; 氮素水平过高虽能提高硝酸还原酶和籽仁蛋白质含量, 但谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)和谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)的活性下降; N素施肥水平不改变花生植株各器官中可溶性蛋白质、游离氨基酸含量以及硝酸还原酶(NR)、谷氨酰胺合成酶、谷氨酸脱氢酶活性的变化趋势, 但适量施N (A2和A3处理)使花生各营养器官中GS、GDH活性提高; 氮素水平对花生各叶片和籽仁中GS、GDH活性的高低影响较大, 但对茎和根中GDH活性大小的影响较小。     

红蓝光质对芹菜碳氮代谢及其关键酶活性的影响

为了探明红蓝光对芹菜生长的调控机理,以‘津南实芹1号’为试材,白光(W)处理为对照(CK),研究红蓝LED光质对芹菜碳氮代谢及其相关酶活性的影响。结果表明：白+红(WR)和白+红+蓝(WRB)处理芹菜的光合速率(Pn)及RuBP羧化酶(RuBPCase)活性显著高于CK,白+蓝(WB)处理的Pn低于CK,但RuBPCase活性高于CK。各处理相比,碳代谢产物多以WR处理的最高, WRB处理的其次, WB处理的最低。WR处理的蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性显著高于CK,蔗糖合成酶(SS)活性明显低于CK;WB处理的SS活性较高。WR处理的总氮含量及谷氨酰胺酶(GS)活性显著高于CK,而蛋白质和氨基酸含量明显低于CK; WB处理的蛋白质含量较高,氨基酸含量较低,硝酸还原酶(NR)、GS和谷氨酸合成酶(GOGAT)活性明显高于CK;WRB处理的总氮和蛋白质含量及NR和GS活性均高于CK。可见,增加红光比例可促进芹菜碳的同化、转化及氮的吸收,加速物质积累,但对蛋白质的合成有一定的抑制作用;增加蓝光比例可使芹菜氮代谢增强,但碳的积累代谢下降,因此叶柄伸长受抑,单株产量降低。     

光质对韭菜碳氮代谢、生长和品质的影响

以‘平韭2号’为试材,以白光(W)处理为对照(CK),研究白+红(WR)、白+蓝(WB)、白+绿(WG)、白+紫(WP)4种不同光质处理对韭菜碳氮代谢、生长和品质的影响.结果表明: WR处理韭菜的光合速率(P_n)显著高于CK,而WB、WG和WP与CK无显著差异,但RuBP羧化酶(RuBPCase)活性均显著高于CK.各处理相比,总糖含量以WR最高,WP其次,WB和WG最低.WR下韭菜蔗糖磷酸合成酶(SPS)活性显著高于CK,其余三者均显著低于CK,其中以WB最低,但蔗糖合成酶(SS)和淀粉酶(AMS)活性均以WB最高,WR最低,WG和WP的SS活性与CK无差异,但AMS活性显著低于CK.可见,增加红、紫光比例可促进韭菜碳的同化和转化,加速糖的积累.总氮、蛋白氮含量、硝酸还原酶(NR)、谷氨酰胺酶(GS)和谷氨酸合成酶(GOGAT)活性以WB最高,显著高于CK,但WB下谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH)活性最低,显著低于CK;WR的蛋白氮和非蛋白氮含量、NR和GS活性最低,显著低于CK,GOGAT和GDH活性显著高于CK,且GDH在所有处理中最高;WG的全氮、非蛋白氮含量及GDH活性均显著低于CK,但蛋白氮含量、NR和GOGAT活性显著高于CK,WP的氮含量及相关酶活性呈现出与WG相同的趋势,且GS活性亦同样高于CK.说明增加蓝光、紫光和绿光可使韭菜氮代谢增强,而增加红光对蛋白质的合成有一定的抑制作用.红光和紫光下韭菜生长较好,而蓝光则抑制其加粗生长,叶片较薄,单株生长量较低.紫光下韭菜的粗纤维含量最低,营养品质最优,因此,紫光对韭菜的生长最有利.     

大田增温对夏玉米光合特性的影响

在大田条件下研究了增温对两个夏玉米品种农大108(ND108)和掖单13号(YD13)光合特性及产量的影响.结果表明:大喇叭口期到成熟期增温显著降低了夏玉米籽粒产量,ND108和YD13的籽粒产量分别较对照降低了46.6%和45.1%;叶面积指数平均值分别降低了15.4%和11.5%;穗位叶叶片光合速率平均值分别降低了22.85%和18.14%;两个玉米品种叶片的叶绿素a和叶绿素b含量显著降低,但对叶绿素a的影响更显著.增温后玉米叶片的磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶(PEPCase)和核酮糖二磷酸羧化酶(RuBPCase)活性都显著降低,ND108、YD13叶片的PEPCase和RuBPCase活性分别较对照降低了51.1%、32.4%和29.5%、7.7%.

不同时期喷施多效唑对花生生理特性、产量和品质的影响

为确定高产条件下不同花生品种的最佳化控时期,以小花生品种‘花育20’(HY20)和大花生品种‘花育25’(HY25)为试验材料,研究了多效唑(PBZ)不同喷施时期对花生根系活力、叶绿素含量、叶片保护酶和碳、氮代谢酶活性,以及荚果产量和籽仁品质的影响.结果表明:不同时期喷施PBZ均提高了2个品种花生在结荚期的叶绿素含量、根系活力,以及叶片超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化物酶、过氧化氢酶、蔗糖合成酶、蔗糖磷酸合成酶和磷酸烯醇式丙酮酸羧化酶活性,降低了丙二醛(MDA)含量以及硝酸还原酶、谷氨酰胺合成酶、谷氨酸脱氢酶和谷氨酸合成酶活性,且PBZ喷施时间越早效果越明显.在饱果期,HY25的各指标以主茎高25cm时喷施PBZ的效果最好,但HY20在主茎高25 cm时喷施PBZ的保护酶活性降低,化控时间过早导致植株早衰,叶绿素含量、根系活力以及碳代谢酶活性也略低于CK,HY20的指标以主茎高30 cm时喷施PBZ效果最好.适宜时期PBZ处理提高了2个品种的荚果产量和经济系数,提高了脂肪含量和油酸相对含量以及O/L值.高产条件下,HY25和HY20的最适多效唑处理时期分别为花生主茎高25和30 cm左右.

Data quality

A methodology is presented that enables incorporating expert judgment regarding the variability of input data for environmental life cycle assessment (LCA) modeling. The quality of input data in the life-cycle inventory (LCI) phase is evaluated by LCA practitioners using data quality indicators developed for this application. These indicators are incorporated into the traditional LCA inventory models that produce non-varying point estimate results (i.e., deterministic models) to develop LCA inventory models that produce results in the form of random variables that can be characterized by probability distributions (i.e., stochastic models). The outputs of these probabilistic LCA models are analyzed using classical statistical methods for better decision and policy making information. This methodology is applied to real-world beverage delivery system LCA inventory models. The inventory study results for five beverage delivery system alternatives are compared using statistical methods that account for the variance in the model output values for each alternative. Sensitivity analyses are also performed that indicate model output value variance increases as input data uncertainty increases (i.e., input data quality degrades). Concluding remarks point out the strengths of this approach as an alternative to providing the traditional qualitative assessment of LCA inventory study input data with no efficient means of examining the combined effects on the model results. Data quality assessments can now be captured quantitatively within the LCA inventory model structure. The approach produces inventory study results that are variables reflecting the uncertainty associated with the input data. These results can be analyzed using statistical methods that make efficient quantitative comparisons of inventory study alternatives possible. Recommendations for future research are also provided that include the screening of LCA inventory model inputs for significance and the application of selection and ranking techniques to the model outputs.     

Density-dependence by habitat heterogeneity: individual quality versus territory quality

The aim of this comment is to review the ecological issues concerning the role of individual and habitat heterogeneity as possible mechanisms explaining density-dependent fecundity in animal populations. Our intention is to discuss different approaches to determine whether or not studied populations are subjected to density-dependent processes and which mechanisms are involved. We show that because individual quality (e.g. measured in terms of age of breeding individuals) and territory quality can be correlated, untangling both effects on fecundity is frequently a difficult task. We discuss the misuse of statistical methods and other problems related to the specific characteristics of the studied populations that can have a strong influence on the conclusions reached by researchers working in this field.     

Microbiological quality ofnono

Microbiological examination of the uninoculated whole-milk product nono during incubation at room temperature (27 ± 2°C) for 120 h showed a high incidence of undesirable microorganisms: minimum bacterial, staphylococcal, yeasts and mould counts were 2.28 × 10⁶, 1.50 × 10³ and 1.70 × 10⁴ organisms/ml, respectively.Nono is thus of poor microbial quality even when prepared under hygienic conditions.     

Listserv use enhances quality and safety in multisite quality improvement efforts

A listserv is an e-mail group to which people subscribe based upon common interests. We used a retrospective study to examine the relationship between listserv use and team success for health care quality improvement efforts. We hypothesized high listserv use would be associated with team success. Eighty-seven Department of Veterans Affairs teams participated in facilitated quality improvement efforts to address three areas: improving safety in high-hazard areas, improving the disability evaluation process, and reducing falls and related injuries. We coded messages sent to the listserv according to sender (faculty or participant), team, and content. We correlated the volume of messages sent per team with team success and with team and facility characteristics. Teams with high listserv contributions were more likely to complete their first test of change, report facility use of nonpunitive methods of investigating medical incidents, and report their information systems were useful. We found a negative correlation between listserv contribution and the number of face-to-face meetings and a physician as an active team member, but we found no relationship between team success and listserv contribution. Team listserv contribution was not associated with team success in multisite quality improvement efforts. Successful teams may be accessing information on the listserv but not sending a message to indicate use.     

Impairment of sleep quality and quality of life in bimodal chronotype individuals

There is still insufficient data about the characteristics and clinical significance of the bimodal chronotype. We evaluated more than 1000 students with Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, Munich Chronotype Questionnaire (MCTQ), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and 36-item Short Form Health Survey. Twelve percent of the sample was bimodal and they showed similar results to intermediate chronotype in MCTQ-chronotype and social jetlag, both different from morning and evening chronotypes. However, their quality of life and sleep quality were similar to evening types, both different from morning and intermediate types. We discuss if being bimodal would be a maladaptive aspect of circadian preference     

Relative contributions of offspring quality and environmental quality to adult field performance

Determinants of adult performance, such as growth and survival, are influenced by extrinsic, environmental and intrinsic, phenotypic factors. The relative importance of extrinsic and intrinsic factors, while ecologically relevant, is rarely estimated simultaneously. We estimate the relative contributions of offspring size (intrinsic) and various environmental factors (extrinsic) on adult performance in the marine colonial bryozoan Watersipora subtorquata. We used a variance partitioning approach for both new and previously published data, enabling us to examine the performance of over 1000 individuals in the field. We found offspring size to explain relatively little variation in adult performance. Of the environmental factors taken to account, temporal variation and an environmental gradient had the strongest influences.
