寂漠千秋 福祉万代

沙漠是指沙质荒漠，有时也广义地包括沙地。在中国“雄鸡”状版图的颈背处，是我国广袤的西北干旱区。在那里至西向东串珠状地横亘着温带沙漠和草原沙地。沙漠日照强烈，降水稀少，气候干燥!沙漠里泥土稀薄，基质疏松，土壤贫瘠!沙漠里多大风，风运沙移，沙暴肆虐!沙漠历来被人类视为生存的艰难之处，甚至禁区!

甘蔗杆状病毒荧光定量PCR检测方法的建立及初步应用

为建立一种能够快速、灵敏、特异的检测甘蔗杆状病毒(sugarcane bacilliform virus, SCBV)的SYBR GreenⅠ荧光定量PCR方法,针对SCBV的基因序列,设计了特异性扩增引物,利用构建的标准品建立和优化针对SCBV的荧光定量PCR检测方法,并对该方法进行了特异性、稳定性、灵敏性等的测试,随后用于田间样品的检测。结果表明:将含有SCBV基因组序列的重组质粒进行梯度稀释制成标准品,利用标准品进行荧光定量PCR,获得标准曲线y=-3.482 1x+37.264,相关系数r~2=0.999 9,说明CT值与反应起始模板数量呈线性关系,可进行准确定量;组内和组间变异系数在0.19%～1.68%之间,表明检测方法重复性良好;建立的荧光定量PCR方法最低可检测到10个拷贝重组质粒/μL,是常规PCR检测灵敏度的100倍。使用建立的荧光定量PCR方法和常规PCR方法对采集的90份甘蔗叶片样品进行检测,常规PCR检出53份阳性样品,荧光定量PCR检出56份阳性样品,表明所建立的荧光定量PCR方法较常规PCR敏感性高,且准确性高。本研究建立的SCBV荧光定量PCR检测方法重复性好,灵敏度高,为构建甘蔗健康种苗体系提供了一种高效检测方法。     

Fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi along different aspect in degraded grassland

Aims Fractal root system is phenotypic plasticity result of plant root architecture to respond to environmental heterogeneity, may reflect the growth strategy of plants to adapt to environmental conditions. Our objective was to explore the relationship between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance of fractal root system of Melica przewalskyi population in response to aspect variation in the northwest of China. Methods The study site was located in a degraded alpine grassland on the northern slope in Qilian Mountains, Gansu Province, China. Survey and sampling were carried out at 40 plots which were set up along four slope aspects transects with 20 m distance between adjacent plots. Handheld GPS was used to determine the elevation, longitude and latitude of each plot. ArcGIS was used to set up digital elevation model (DEM). Community traits were investigated and six individuals roots of M. przewalskyi were collected randomly at each plot. The samples were cleaned and divided into different organs, then scanning the root with the Win-RHIZO for measurements of fractal dimension and fractal abundance in laboratory, and their biomass were then measured after being dried at 80 °C in an oven. Important findings With the slope aspect turned from north to east, west, and south, the density, height and soil moisture content of the plant community displayed a pattern of initial decline, the height, density, root fractal abundance of M. przewalskyi increased and the root fractal dimension decreased. The root fractal dimension was negatively associated with the fractal abundance in all aspects, but the relationship varied along the slope aspects gradient; there was a highly significant negative correlation (p < 0.01) between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance at north slope and south slope aspect, whereas the correlation only reached a significant level (p < 0.05) at the east slope aspect and west slope aspect; indicating that there is a trade-off between the root fractal dimension and fractal abundance. In addition, when the slope aspect changed from north to east, west and south, the standardized major axis (SMA) slope of the regression equation in the scaling relationships between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance increased (p < 0.05), indicating that the roots of M. przewalskyi at the droughty southern slope have less branch and more sparse in the same soil volume of root exploitation and utilization. Consequently, the resource allocation pattern on reasonable trade-off between root fractal dimension and fractal abundance in different slope aspect of M. przewalskyi, reflects the relationship between the income and the cost of construction of plant root architecture.

预防仔猪腹泻无抗性基因工程菌株的构建

以原来含热不稳定肠毒素B亚单位基因质粒DNA为载体,插入lacZ基因,构建了一个既能表达LT-B亚单位又能表达B-半乳糖苷酶的含四环索抗性基因的重组体。在该重组DNA的四环素抗性基因内再插入K 88粘附因子抗原基因,从而灭活了四环素抗性基因。经测定该重组体能表达LT－B和K88两种抗原,lacZ基因取代四环素抗性基因,成为良好筛选标记。所构建的重组质粒能稳定存在。
