长期施肥条件下黄土旱塬土壤N03^--N的淋溶分布规律

在黄土旱塬区,长期施肥对土壤剖面NO3^-1—N含量和分布有显著影响．施用化学氮肥,土壤剖面中出现NO3^-1—N的淋溶与深层累积,而施用磷肥和有机肥有减弱NO3^-1—N向更深层淋溶的作用．单施氮肥处理(N),NO3^-1—N的累积峰深度最大,为120～200cm;N、P有机肥配施处理(NPM),NO3^-1—N的累积峰值最高,但峰深度降低至60～120cm;N、P配施(NP)累积深度为80～140cm．不施氮肥,分布在土壤剖面中NO3^-1—N含量显著降低．氮肥用量愈大,NO3^-1—N的累积量愈大．N、P配施可以有效降低NO3^-1—N累积．在同一氮肥用量下,NO3^-1—N累积量随磷肥用量的增加而减少．     

有机无机肥配施对旱地冬小麦产量和硝态氮残留淋失的影响

针对渭北旱塬氮肥施用不合理的问题,通过不同氮肥用量(0、75、150、225、300 kg N·hm^-2)与有机肥(30 t·hm^-2)配施,明确渭北旱塬麦田配施有机肥条件下合理的氮肥用量以及配施有机肥的减氮增产作用和对硝态氮残留淋失的影响.结果表明: 与单施化肥处理相比,有机无机肥配施可以在减少27.1%的氮肥用量情况下,提高14.7%的小麦籽粒产量,其中,施氮量150 kg·hm^-2配施有机肥处理的产量最高;有机无机肥配施可以促进小麦籽粒氮素吸收,氮肥利用率提高20.2%,尤其当氮肥用量为150 kg·hm^-2时,氮肥利用率达到最高值(42.0%);配施有机肥还能减少氮肥当季残留量和小麦生育期硝态氮向深层土壤淋溶,降低夏闲期淋失层硝态氮的淋失比例,当施氮量低于115 kg·hm^-2时,配施有机肥可以降低夏闲期硝态氮淋失量.基于本研究,推荐渭北旱塬在配施有机肥30 t·hm^-2的基础上,氮肥用量150 kg·hm^-2左右可实现小麦高产,提高氮肥利用率,防止氮肥过量残留.     

延安市日光温室蔬菜施肥现状与环境效应

调查分析延安市日光温室蔬菜目前的施肥现状和存在问题,结果表明蔬菜主要施肥问题是偏施氮磷肥,而且用量超过蔬菜的需肥量,忽视钾肥和微量元素的施用。过量施肥造成土壤NO3^-—N累积和地下水NO3^-—N含量超标,地下水NO3^-—N含量达142mg／L。根据西红柿和黄瓜的需肥要求,提出了黄瓜和西红柿合理的N、P、K肥和有机肥用量。日光温室黄瓜产量150000kg／hm^2的施用量为N750—840kg／hm^2,P2O5 450—540kg／hm^2,K2O 450—750kg/hm^2,有机肥60-80t/hm^2较为合理。日光温室西红柿180 000kg/hm^2产量的施用量为N810-960kg/hm^2,P2O5 420-510kg／hm^2,K2O 540-690kg／hm^2,有机肥50-80t/hm^2较为合理。分析了施肥对土壤环境和地下水NO3^-—N含量的影响,并提出了日光温室蔬菜施肥的改进措施。     

关中地区小麦/玉米轮作农田硝态氮淋溶特点

通过田间原位淋溶装置研究了不同施氮量和秸秆覆盖对关中地区小麦/玉米轮作农田90cm深处硝态氮(NO3--N)淋溶量、0～1m土层硝态氮累积及作物产量和氮平衡的影响.试验设不施氮(N1,0kg·hm-2·a-1)、常规施氮(N2,471kg·hm-2·a-1)、推荐施氮(N3,330kg·hm-2·a-1)、减量施氮(N4,165kg·hm-2·a-1)、增量施氮(N5,495kg·hm-2·a-1)和推荐施氮+秸秆覆盖(N3+S)6个不同施肥处理.结果表明:NO3--N淋溶量随施氮量的增加而增大,氮肥的过量施用及秸秆覆盖易造成NO3--N淋溶.N3+S处理90cm处年NO3--N流失量最大,为22.32kg·hm-2,施肥造成的氮流失量为16.44kg·hm-2,比相同施氮量不覆盖处理(N3)高158.9%.NO3--N主要累积在20～60cm土层,年施氮量330kg·hm-2(N3)时,秸秆覆盖与否不影响NO3--N的剖面分布.各施肥处理对作物产量没有显著影响,但减量施氮处理(N4)有减少作物产量的趋势.在本试验条件下,推荐施肥量(小麦施氮150kg·hm-2,玉米施氮180kg·hm-2)在保证作物产量的同时,可减少土壤NO3--N的淋溶和累积.     

基施氮肥对冬小麦产量、氮肥利用率及氮平衡的影响

通过田间小区试验研究了氮肥一次基施对高肥力土壤上冬小麦产量,吸氮量及氮肥利用率的影响,旨在了解高肥力土训上减少基肥氮的可行性,结果表明,高肥力土壤上冬小麦产量对氮肥的反应不明显,而施用氮肥显著增加了冬小麦吸氮量,根据差值法计算结果,当施氮量为75,112．5和150kg/hm^2时冬小麦的氮肥利用率分别为16．0％,14．5％和13．5％,表明多达84％－86．5％以上的基肥氮未被作物吸收利用,氮平衡计算的结果进一步表明,未被当季小麦利用的肥料氮主要以无机氮的形式残留于0－1m土体中,当施氮量分别为75,112．5和150kg/hm2时氮肥的土壤残留率依次为83．3％,46．0％和58．8％,而相应的表观损失率为0．5％,38．9％和19．0％,由此可见,在高肥力土壤上应严格控制基肥氮的用量或不施基肥,否则将造成氮素资源的大量浪费。     

施氮和肥料添加剂对水稻产量、氮素吸收转运及利用的影响

在苏南太湖地区开展田间试验,研究了施氮和肥料添加剂对水稻产量、氮素吸收转运及利用的影响.结果表明:施氮对水稻产量、各生育时期植株累积吸氮量、阶段氮累积量和花后氮素转运量具有显著的促进作用(P＜0.01),当施氮量高于200 kg·hm-2时,增施氮肥的增产效应不显著(P＞0.05);花后氮素转运率和氮肥利用率均随施氮量的增加而降低.施用肥料添加剂可进一步提高水稻产量、累积吸氮量、花后氮素转运量和氮肥利用率,且该效应在高施氮量( ≥200 kg·hm-2)条件下表现更明显.本试验条件下不施用肥料添加剂时,施氮150kg·hm-2可同时获得较高的产量和氮肥利用率.     

氮肥施用量对设施番茄氮素利用及土壤NO3--N累积的影响

在宁夏引黄灌区滴灌条件下,以温棚番茄为研究对象,采用田间试验与室内分析的方法,研究不同施氮量对番茄产量、氮素利用率及土壤NO3--N残留的影响,并对土壤-番茄体系的氮平衡进行了表观评估。试验结果表明:2004年秋冬茬番茄,施用氮肥显著增加了当茬番茄果实、植株产量(增产幅度19.9%～29.6%)及地上部总吸氮量(204～232.6kg/hm2)。2005年冬春茬番茄,与空白处理产量相比(106kg/hm2)只有N200处理的果实增产达显著水平(120kg/hm2)。两季番茄的氮肥利用率都随氮肥施用量的增加而明显降低(3.3%～10.9%)。2004年秋冬茬番茄收获后,表层0～30cm的NO3--N大量累积(200～650kg/hm2),其累积量随施氮量增加呈增加的趋势,经过2005年冬春茬番茄种植后,上茬0～30cm土层NO3--N向下有淋失的趋势,淋失层次主要在90cm以上的土体(250～380kg/hm2)。综合考虑番茄果实产量、氮肥利用率及土壤NO3--N残留等因素,秋冬茬番茄推荐氮肥用量在100～200kg/hm2和适量的磷钾肥配施为当茬氮肥优化管理处理。而冬春茬番茄氮肥推荐在200～400kg/hm2范围可以满足当茬番茄对氮肥的需求。     

氮肥水平对甘蓝产量和品质及土壤硝态氮含量的影响

以京丰1号甘蓝品种为试验材料,通过田间小区试验研究了不同氮肥用量对甘蓝产量、品质以及土壤NO3--N含量的影响.结果表明,(1)随着施氮量的增加,甘蓝产量呈先升高后降低趋势,并于施氮量为185.14 kg/hm2时产量最高(25.86 kg/8.4 m2).(2)随着施氮量的增加,甘蓝的NO3--N含量明显增加,而Vc和可溶性糖含量则逐渐下降,并且残留在土壤中的NO3--N含量持续增加.因此,为达到优质高产并同时保持土壤的可持续利用和提高氮肥利用率,在生产实践中甘蓝适宜氮肥施用量为185.14 kg/hm2.     

黄淮海平原玉米施氮量对后茬小麦土壤剖面硝态氮和产量的影响

在冬小麦-夏玉米一年两熟模式下,玉米品种“郑单958”（植株密度9株/m^2）和小麦品种“93-9”（基本苗704株/m^2）,冬小麦基施144kg N/hm^2,研究了玉米5个施N量（0、90、180、270和360kg/hm^2）对后茬小麦期间土壤剖面硝态氮含量、无机氮总量,以及小麦氮素吸收利用和产量的影响.结果表明：（1）与不施氮相比,玉米施氮显著增加小麦季0～200cm土壤硝态氮含量;自拔节起,0～40cm、0～130cm和0～200cm硝态氮含量均随施氮量增加而递增,在硝态氮含量较高的小区增幅也大.（2）轮作一周期后,不施氮和施氮360kg/hm^2显著影响0～130cm和0～200cm无机氮总量,但在90～270 kg/hm^2之间,施氮量的影响不明显.（3）施氮小于180kg/hm^2时,成熟期小麦植株氮素和籽粒氮素积累量、氮肥利用率均随施氮量增加而递增,但不明显.（4）与不施氮相比,施氮90kg/hm^2的小麦产量和麦玉轮作总产均增加但不明显,施氮180 kg/hm^2均显著增加,施氮270kg/hm^2与180kg/hm^2无明显差异.本试验条件下,夏玉米施氮90～180 kg/hm^2是适宜的.     

陕西关中小麦-玉米轮作区协调作物产量和环境效应的农田适宜氮肥用量

为了确定陕西关中小麦-玉米轮作区兼顾作物产量和环境效应的农田适宜氮肥用量,通过玉米-小麦-玉米连续3季田间试验研究了作物产量、氮肥利用效率、氮肥表观损失和土壤氮素平衡等对施氮量的响应。结果表明,随着氮肥用量的增加,不同年份作物产量和3季作物累计产量均表现为先增加后降低的趋势,而累计氮肥农学效率、氮肥表观利用率、氮肥吸收效率和氮肥偏生产力均表现为显著的降低趋势。土壤氮素平衡结果表明,随着施氮量的增加,低量施氮时(小麦施N150 kg/hm2,玉米施N180 kg/hm2),氮肥残留显著增加,表观损失和损失率变化不明显,而高量施氮时(小麦施N150 kg/hm2,玉米施N180 kg/hm2),氮肥残留变化不明显,表观损失和损失率却显著增加。回归和相关分析显示,矿质氮在土壤较深层次(100—200cm土层)大量累积是氮肥表观损失的重要途径之一。小麦施N 150 kg/hm2、玉米施N 180 kg/hm2时,作物即可获得相对较高的产量和氮肥利用率,且能保持作物收获前后土壤无机氮库的基本稳定,同时也可将氮肥表观损失降至较低水平。     

A Unique Protease Cleavage Site Predicted in the Spike Protein of the Novel Pneumonia Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) Potentially Related to Viral Transmissibility

Curcuminoids as inhibitors of thioredoxin reductase: A receptor based pharmacophore study with distance mapping of the active site

Curcumin is the yellow pigment of turmeric that interacts irreversibly forming an adduct with thioredoxin reductase (TrxR), an enzyme responsible for redox control of cell and defence against oxidative stress. Docking at both the active sites of TrxR was performed to compare the potency of three naturally occurring curcuminoids, namely curcumin, demethoxy curcumin and bis-demethoxy curcumin. Results show that active sites of TrxR occur at the junction of E and F chains. Volume and area of both cavities is predicted. It has been concluded by distance mapping of the most active conformations that Se atom of catalytic residue SeCYS498, is at a distance of 3.56 from C13 of demethoxy curcumin at the E chain active site, whereas C13 carbon atom forms adduct with Se atom of SeCys 498. We report that at least one methoxy group in curcuminoids is necessary for interation with catalytic residues of thioredoxin. Pharmacophore of both active sites of the TrxR receptor for curcumin and demethoxy curcumin molecules has been drawn and proposed for design and synthesis of most probable potent antiproliferative synthetic drugs.     

Comparative morphology of the carpel in the Liliaceae: Hewardieae, Petrosavieae, and Tricyrteae

The young pistils in the melanthioid tribes, Hewardieae, Petrosavieae and Tricyrteae, are uniformly tricarpellate and syncarpous. They lack raphide idioblasts. All are multiovulate, with bitegmic ovules. The Petrosavieae are marked by the presence of septal glands and incomplete syncarpy. Tepals and stamens adhere to the ovary in the Hewardieae and the Petrosavieae but not in the Tricyrteae. Two vascular bundles occur in the stamens of the Hewartlieae and Tricyrtis latifolia. Ventral bundles in the upper part of the ovary of the Hewardieae are continuous with compound septal bundles and placental bundles in the lower part. Putative ventral bundles occur in the alternate position in the Tricyrteae and putative placental bundles in the opposite. position in the Petrosavieae. The dichtomously branched stigma in each carpel of the Tricyrteae is supplied by a bifurcated dorsal bundle.

Detection of EBV and HHV6 in the Brain Tissue of Patients with Rasmussen’s Encephalitis

Rasmussen’s encephalitis (RE) is a rare pediatric neurological disorder, and the exact etiology is not clear. Viral infection may be involved in the pathogenesis of RE, but conflicting results have reported. In this study, we evaluated the expression of both Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and human herpes virus (HHV) 6 antigens in brain sections from 30 patients with RE and 16 control individuals by immunohistochemistry. In the RE group, EBV and HHV6 antigens were detected in 56.7% (17/30) and 50% (15/30) of individuals, respectively. In contrast, no detectable EBV and HHV6 antigen expression was found in brain tissues of the control group. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in 20.0% (6/30) of individuals. In particular, a 4-year-old boy had a typical clinical course, including a medical history of viral encephalitis, intractable epilepsy, and hemispheric atrophy. The co-expression of EBV and HHV6 was detected in neurons and astrocytes in the brain tissue, accompanied by a high frequency of CD8⁺ T cells. Our results suggest that EBV and HHV6 infection and the activation of CD8⁺ T cells are involved in the pathogenesis of RE.     

Perinatal Vertical Transmission of Chikungunya Virus in Ruili,a Town on the Border between China and Myanmar

正Dear Editor,Chikungunya virus (CHIKV), an arbovirus in the family of Togaviridae, genus Alphavirus, is transmitted by the A.aegyptii or A. albopictus mosquito, and causes disease in humans characterized by fever, rash, and arthralgia (Silva and Dermody 2017; Suhrbier 2019). It was first reported in 1953 in Tanzania, and caused only a few outbreaks and sporadic cases in Africa and Asia in last century. However, in the epidemic in 2004, CHIKV acquired mutations that conferred enhanced transmission by the A. albopictus mosquito(Schuffenecker et al. 2006). Since then, it has successively caused outbreaks in Africa, the Indian Ocean, South East Asia, the South America, and Europe (Zeller et al. 2016).     

Development of a Novel Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification Method for Rapid Detection of SARS-CoV-2

In conclusion, the novel visual RT-LAMP assay is a simple, rapid, and sensitive approach for detection of SARS-CoV-2, and it is ready for application in primary care and community hospitals or health care centers, and even patients' own houses in response to the current SARS-CoV-2 epidemic because the assay does not require sophisticated equipment and skilled personnel. Furthermore, it is also ready to be used in fields for screening samples from wild animals and environments to facilitate the identification of potential intermediate hosts that mediate the cross-species transmission of SARS-CoV-2 from bats to humans.
