A new method for measuring tree height in tropical rain forest

Abstract. A new method is described for measuring tree height in tropical forest with a dense undergrowth, the so-called angles-measure method, which is related to the height-matching method formerly used by British foresters.

A comparison of four methods for measuring roots of field crops in three contrasting soils

Rooting measurements have been made at different growth stages for sugar beets (1987) and for cereals (1988) on three different sites using four different root measurement techniques: (a) the core method where roots were extracted and root length is directly measured, (b) the core-break method where the visible roots were counted on the faces of a broken soil column, (c) the trench profile wall method where the number of visible roots were counted and the root length density was estimated on a profile wall, and (d) the monolith method where the roots were extracted from monoliths dug out from a profile wall. The calibration curves between the field methods and the extraction methods were not linear, and regression coefficients differed significantly between different sites, crops and between fields with different agronomic management, e.g. irrigation and liquid manure application. Differences between growth stages were comparably low compared with those found between locations. Root length densities obtained with the trench profile method were on average 10-fold lower in the sand brown earth, 6-fold lower in the vertisol and 4 times lower in the cambisol compared to data obtained with the core method. It is therefore concluded that the core-break method and the trench profile wall method deliver no reliable data for comparing rooting intensities between different soils and between different crops if they are not calibrated with an extraction method for each site and crop.     

三种提取苹果绵蚜基因组DNA方法的比较

参考国内外昆虫基因组DNA提取的常用方法,选取KAc法、氯仿-异戊醇法和盐析法3种方法对苹果绵蚜(Eriosoma lanigerum)基因组DNA进行提取.通过基因组DNA直接琼脂糖凝胶电泳、SSR引物扩增产物的琼脂糖凝胶电泳和聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳检测,对3种方法所提基因组DNA的质量进行了比较,并综合分析了提取所需时间及所用试剂的毒性大小等.结果表明,盐析法操作程序较简便快捷,节时省工,可得较好质量的DNA样本,且对试验操作人员无伤害,是一种值得推广应用的基因组DNA提取方法.     

康氏木霉基因组DNA提取方法的比较研究

采用3种常规DNA提取方法提取瑞氏木霉基因组DNA。结果表明:冷冻研磨CTAB法更适合此真菌DNA的提取,试剂盒提取的总DNA纯度和浓度也较高,但是价格昂贵,饱和酚抽提法提取的DNA浓度不高,且易有降解现象,不适合分子生物学操作的要求。     

呼肠孤病毒科的系统发育分析

Determination of chemical biodegradation by direct and indirect methods

Summary Degradation of 10 organic chemicals by pre-acclimated microorganisms in BOD dilution water was determined directly by UV spectrophotometry and indirectly by a modified BOD method. Residual chemical concentrations were periodically measured and pseudo-first-order biodegradation rate constants (k ₁) were calculated. Thek ₁ spectrophotometry values ranged from 0.006/h to 0.077/h andk ₁-BOD values from 0.002/h to 0.043/h for 1-methylnaphthalene and indole, respectively. The ratios ofk spectrophotometry to k₁-BOD were between 1.5 for salicylic acid and 3.0 for 1-methylnaphthalene with a mean of 2.7. A significant (=0.001) linear correlation (r ²=0.854,F=46.630) existed between the two sets of rate constants. Results from this study suggest that the modified BOD method may be used to estimate chemical biodegradation rates in synthetic media.
