In the floriculture region of Tenancingo in the State of Mexico, the application of stabilized organic matter, such as vermicompost and leachates, contributes to improve the quality of the soil and plant nutrition. However, it is important to know the chemical composition of a vermicompost and the mineralization process. This is because the amount and speed of nutrient release which will be available to the crop will depend on that knowledge. The objective of the study was to evaluate the effect of the application of a vermicompost and leachates on various quantitative variables of Solidago x hybrid, and the mineralization of organic carbon under aerobic incubations. Vermicompost (74 and 36 g/kg soil), leachates (5 and 10 L/kg soil), 0.33 g/kg soil of chemical fertilizer Ca (NO3)2, and not treated soil (control) were applied under greenhouse conditions to evaluate their effects on plant growth variables. Mixtures of 100 g of soil with vermicompost and leachates were made in the laboratory which were incubated during 9 weeks to obtain the potentially mineralizable organic carbon (Corg PM) and the rate of mineralization (k) after adjusting an exponential model. In the greenhouse experiment there were no statistical differences after applying vermicompost and leachates on the quantitative variables (number of stems per plant, diameter of the panicle, fresh weight, plant length and stem diameter) with respect to the control (p>0.05). The effect among the applied doses was evident only for variables such as fresh weight, panicle length and stem diameter with respect to the control. In incubated soils, k values ranged between 0.209-0.325 C mg/kg soil/week. Only with the application of leachates in high doses two pools of organic matter were shown: one soluble labile (102.9 mg/kg soil) and the other hydrolysable (819 mg/kg soil). The soluble, labile fraction favored nutrient availability immediately after its application to the soil. However, a single pool of hydrolysable organic C (987-1074 mg/kg soil) was found when vermicompost was applied. It was associated with a release of organic matter during crop development, and to a possible stimulation of microbial activity. High values of electrical conductivity in vermicompost and leachates (8.2-11.7 mS/m) suggest a moderate application of both products. 相似文献

We investigated the efficacy of Ocimum basilicum (OB) essential oils for treating depression related behavioral, biochemical and histopathological changes caused by exposure to chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS) in mice and to explore the mechanism underlying the pathology. Male albino mice were divided into four groups: controls; CUMS; CUMS plus fluoxetine, the antidepressant administered for pharmacological validation of OB; and CUMS plus OB. Behavioral tests included the forced swim test (FST), elevated plus-maze (EPM) and the open ?eld test (OFT); these tests were performed at the end of the experiment. We assessed serum corticosterone level, protein, gene and immunoexpression of brain-derived neurotropic factor (BDNF) and glucocorticoid receptors (GRs) as well as immunoexpression of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), Ki67, caspase-3 in the hippocampus. CUMS caused depression in the mice as evidenced by prolonged immobility in the FST, prolonged time spent in the open arms during the EPM test and reduction of open field activity in the OFT. OB ameliorated the CUMS induced depressive status. OB significantly reduced the corticosterone level and up-regulated protein and gene expressions of BDNF and GR. OB reduced CUMS induced hippocampal neuron atrophy and apoptosis, and increased the number of the astrocytes and new nerve cells. OB significantly increased GFAP-positive cells as well as BDNF and GR immunoexpression in the hippocampus. 相似文献

Some pesticides may interfere with the female hormonal function, which may lead to negative effects on the reproductive system
through disruption of the hormonal balance necessary for proper functioning. Previous studies primarily focused on interference
with the estrogen and/or androgen receptor, but the hormonal function may be disrupted in many more ways through pesticide
exposure. The aim of this review is to give an overview of the various ways in which pesticides may disrupt the hormonal function
of the female reproductive system and in particular the ovarian cycle. Disruption can occur in all stages of hormonal regulation:
1. hormone synthesis; 2. hormone release and storage; 3. hormone transport and clearance; 4. hormone receptor recognition
and binding; 5. hormone postreceptor activation; 6. the thyroid function; and 7. the central nervous system. These mechanisms
are described for effects of pesticide exposure in vitro and on experimental animals in vivo. For the latter, potential effects of endocrine disrupting pesticides on the female reproductive system, i.e. modulation
of hormone concentrations, ovarian cycle irregularities, and impaired fertility, are also reviewed. In epidemiological studies,
exposure to pesticides has been associated with menstrual cycle disturbances, reduced fertility, prolonged time-to-pregnancy,
spontaneous abortion, stillbirths, and developmental defects, which may or may not be due to disruption of the female hormonal
function. Because pesticides comprise a large number of distinct substances with dissimilar structures and diverse toxicity,
it is most likely that several of the above-mentioned mechanisms are involved in the pathophysiological pathways explaining
the role of pesticide exposure in ovarian cycle disturbances, ultimately leading to fertility problems and other reproductive
effects. In future research, information on the ways in which pesticides may disrupt the hormonal function as described in
this review, can be used to generate specific hypotheses for studies on the effects of pesticides on the ovarian cycle, both
in toxicological and epidemiological settings. 相似文献

Phylogeny of the Drosophila saltans species group based on combined analysis of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA sequences 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Nucleotide sequences from two nuclear loci, alcohol dehydrogenase and
internal transcribed spacer-1 of the nuclear ribosomal DNA repeats, and two
mitochondrial genes, cytochrome oxidase I and cytochrome oxidase II, were
determined from nine species in the Drosophila saltans species group. The
partition homogeneity test and partitioned Bremer support were used to
measure incongruence between phylogenetic hypotheses generated from
individual partitions. Individual loci were generally congruent with each
other and consistent with the previously proposed morphological hypothesis,
although they differed in level of resolution. Since extreme conflict
between partitions did not exist, the data were combined and analyzed
simultaneously. The total evidence method gave a more resolved and highly
supported phylogeny, as indicated by bootstrap proportions and decay
indices, than did any of the individual analyses. The cordata and elliptica
subgroups, considered to have diverged early in the history of the D.
saltans group, were sister taxa to the remainder of the saltans group. The
sturtevanti subgroup, represented by D. milleri and D. sturtevanti,
occupies an intermediate position in this phylogeny. The saltans and
parasaltans subgroups are sister clades and occupy the most recently
derived portion of the phylogeny. As with previous morphological studies,
phylogenetic relationships within the saltans subgroup were not
satisfactorily resolved by the molecular data.

Nucleotide sequence comparisons were used to investigate the evolution of P
transposable elements and the possibility that horizontal transfer has
played a role in their occurrence in natural populations of Drosophila and
other Diptera. The phylogeny of P elements was examined using published
sequences from eight dipteran taxa and a new, partial sequence from
Scaptomyza elmoi. The results from a number of different analyses are
highly consistent and reveal a P-element phylogeny that contradicts the
phylogeny of the species. At least three instances of horizontal transfer
are necessary to explain this incongruence, but other explanations cannot
be ruled out at this time.

Differences in growth and water relations among Phaseolus vulgaris cultivars in response to induced drought stress 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Relatively little ecophysiological research has been conducted to determine the responses to drought of Phaseolus vulgaris. Four bean cultivars (cvs.) from Brazil, A320, Carioca, Ouro Negro and Xodó were submitted to an imposed water deficit in order to evaluate the importance of some adaptive mechanisms of drought resistance through the analysis of growth parameters, water status, gas exchange and indicators of tolerance mechanisms at the cellular level. During the drought treatment, relative growth rates were more reduced for A320 and Xodó than Carioca and Ouro Negro. A320 closed its stomata very rapidly and complete stomatal closure was obtained at Psi(w)=-0.6 MPa, in contrast to the other cvs. where stomata were fully closed only at Psi(w)=-0.9 MPa. Net assimilation rates were closely related to stomatal conductances. Mechanisms at the cellular level appeared to be mostly important for higher tolerance. Carioca and Ouro Negro, when compared to A320 and Xodó, were characterized by having better drought tolerance mechanisms and higher tissue water retention capacity leading to a better growth under water deficits. The leaf dehydration rates of those cvs. were slow whereas those of the drought sensitive cvs. were rapid. The results were confirmed by the electrolyte leakage test and leaf osmotic potential measurements, which indicated higher membrane resistance and osmotic adjustment in the two tolerant cvs. Carioca and Ouro Negro. It appears from this study that despite being cultivated in the same geographical region, the four cvs. of P. vulgaris displayed somewhat different drought adaptive capacities for prolonged drought during the vegetative phase. 相似文献
