Complementarity of genes for resistance to greenbug [Schizaphis graminum (Rondani)], biotype E,in sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench]

Summary Gene complementarity among various sources of resistance to greenbug biotype E was assessed. Analysis of the F₂ generation of crosses between susceptible and resistant parents (mating 1) and among sources of resistance (mating 2) suggested that resistance in sorghum to greenbug biotype E was complexly inherited and, to some extent, dependent on the nature of both the resistant and susceptible parents. Positive transgressive segregation in the F₂ generations of both matings was found to be due to effective plus factors, contributed by both parents in a cross, which complemented each other. The number of plus factors ranged from one to two in the susceptible parents and from two to five in the resistant parents of mating 1, and from one to five in the parents of mating 2. The consistently significant reciprocal effects shown by Sarvasi and PI264453 indicated that these sources had major factors for resistance in their cytoplasms, which were expressed in all their crosses. The results from this study indicated that the sources of resistance complemented each other to give increased number of F₂ segregates with increased resistance. Thus, it should be possible to increase and diversify resistance of sorghum to greenbug biotype E by accumulating different, effective plus factors from various sources through recurrent selection.Contribution No. 90-106-J from the Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station, Kansas State University, Manhattan, KS 66506, USA     

关于植物核型分析的标准化问题

近年,我国的植物染色体研究工作,进展较快,并取得了显著的成绩。但在研究工作中仍存在一个迫切需要解决的问题,即核型分析的标准化问题。由于国际上尚无植物核型分析的共同标准,因此,有关染色体的统计、测量、命名、图表格式等等,各人所采用的方法和标准也不尽相同。这种状况,对核型资料的比较分析以及对研究结果的评价,都带来不便。有鉴于此,1984年8月在辽宁兴城召开的第一届全国植物染色体学术讨论会上,李懋学和陈瑞阳联名作了“关于植物核型分析的标准化问题”的报告,经过

Finding the maximum a posteriori probability (MAP) in a Bayesian taxonomic key is NP-hard

As an alternative to dichotomous keys, tabular keys are used for taxonomic identification. With the use of computers, keys based on the Bayes formula can also be made available more widely. For the development of a key, the maximum a posterior probability (MAP) for a taxon is important because it allows to evaluate the quality of a key. If it is low, the taxon is hard to distinguish from other taxa. In this paper, we show that finding MAP in a Bayesian key is NP-hard. Estimates for MAP or other measures have to be used for the estimation of the quality of a Bayesian key.

普济痔疮栓联合化浊解毒方保留灌肠治疗肛窦炎的疗效及对疼痛介质、免疫功能和复发率的影响

摘要 目的：探讨普济痔疮栓联合化浊解毒方保留灌肠治疗肛窦炎的疗效及对疼痛介质、免疫功能和复发率的影响。方法：选取我院2020年1月至2021年7月确诊的100例肛窦炎患者。按随机数字表法分为对照组（普济痔疮栓治疗,50例）和实验组（普济痔疮栓联合化浊解毒方保留灌肠治疗,50例）。对比两组疗效、中医证候积分、疼痛介质、免疫功能和复发率的变化情况。结果：实验组的临床总有效率高于对照组（P<0.05）。实验组治疗2个疗程后肛门坠胀及隐痛、排便不尽感、肛门潮湿评分低于对照组（P<0.05）。实验组治疗2个疗程后CD8⁺低于对照组;CD3⁺、CD4⁺、CD4⁺/CD8⁺高于对照组（P<0.05）。实验组治疗2个疗程后前列腺素E2（PGE2）、P物质（SP）、多巴胺（DA）、五羟色胺（5-HT）低于对照组（P<0.05）。实验组治疗后4个月、6个月的复发率低于对照组（P<0.05）。结论：普济痔疮栓联合化浊解毒方保留灌肠治疗肛窦炎,可促进临床症状改善,降低复发率,可能与降低疼痛介质水平和调节机体免疫功能有关。     

Distribution of various nickel compounds in rat organs after oral administration

In this study, eight kinds of nickel (Ni) compounds were orally administered to Wistar male rats and the distribution of each compound was investigated 24 h after the administration. The Ni compounds used in this experiment were nickel metal [Ni−M], nickel oxide (green) [NiO(G)], nickel oxide (black) [NiO(B)], nickel subsulfide [Ni₃S₂], nickel sulfide [NiS], nickel sulfate [NiSO₄], nickel chloride [NiCl₂], and nickel nitrate [Ni(NO₃)₂]. The solubilities of the nickel compounds in saline solution were in the following order; [Ni(NO₃)₂>NiCl₂>NiSO₄]≫[NiS>Ni₃S₂]>[NiO(B)>Ni−M>NiO(G)]. The Ni level in the visceral organs was higher in the rats given soluble Ni compounds; Ni(NO₃)₂, NiCl₂, NiSO₄, than that in the rats receiving other compounds. In the rats to which soluble Ni compounds were administered, 80–90% of the recovered Ni amounts in the examined organs was detected in the kidneys. On the other hand, the Ni concentration in organs administered scarcely soluble Ni compounds; NiO(B), NiO(G), and Ni−M were very low. The estimated absorbed fraction of each Ni compounds was increased with the increase of the solubility. These results suggest that the kinetic behavior of Ni compounds administered orally is closely related with the solubility of Ni compounds, and that the solubility of Ni compounds is one of the important factors for determining the health effect of Ni compounds.
