不同演替状态下高寒草甸土壤物理性质与植物根系的相互关系

采用空间代时间的方法,以高寒嵩草草甸不同退化演替状态土壤物理性质(土壤机械阻力、温度、湿度)为变量,探讨高寒草甸不同退化阶段土壤物理性质同植物根系生长特质的相互关系。结果表明:高寒嵩草草甸根系分布具有明显的"V"型垂直构型特征;高寒嵩草草甸根系以细根为主,直径0.5 mm的根系占全剖面根系总长的90.8%—93.6%。土壤紧实度和土壤湿度与植物根系直径细化具有显著的正相关关系(P0.05);土壤温度与根系细化之间具有显著的负相关关系(P0.05),且其对高寒嵩草草甸根系生长特性形成的贡献率最高,说明高寒嵩草草甸植物根系生长构型特征的主控因子为温度。高寒嵩草草甸根系细化及表聚现象与土壤物理性质之间具有一定程度的互馈效应。低温、高紧实度和较高的土壤湿度有助于形成高密度和细根构型的草毡表层,这种土壤根系构型也是高寒草甸植物群落为适应放牧干扰及恶劣环境的应激性改变。该发现对明晰草地退化演替过程中生态系统构件对外界干扰改变的响应和适应过程及为制定合理有效的退化高寒草甸恢复措施提了供理论依据。     

金环蛇神经毒素与乙酰胆碱受体结合的特点

进一步纯化了前一工作中从广西省产金环蛇(Bungarus fasciatus)蛇毒分离的突触后毒素Ⅰ和Ⅱ。以超饱和剂量的毒素Ⅰ或Ⅱ先与从电鳐(Narcine maculata)电器官得到的乙酰胆碱受体(AChR)保温10min 或 lh,再加入~(125)Ⅰ-标记α-银环蛇毒素或~(125)Ⅰ-标记眼镜蛇毒素,继续保温10min 或 lh,由测定与 AChR 结合的放射性强度得知,如以未经毒素Ⅰ或Ⅱ预饱和的放射性强度为100%,则经与其一预饱和者的约为30%,即毒素Ⅰ或Ⅱ只竞争地阻遏了α-银环蛇毒素或眼镜蛇毒素与 AChR 结合能力的2/3左右。文中讨论了存在两种类型 AChR 的可能性。

豆野螟Maruea testulalisGeyer(1832)是我国豆类蔬菜,特别是长豇豆Vigna sesguipedalis的主要害虫。在杭州,一年发生七代,以预蛹越冬。以1—3代为害为主。一龄幼虫头宽0.197毫米,Dyar常数为1.653。随虫龄增加,取食场所从花器转向豆荚。产卵前期为3—4天,羽化后6—8天卵量最集中。幼虫、蛹发育历期与日平均温度间的对数回归方程为Y₁=3.5825—1.7766x,Y_p=3.8118-2.0800x。卵期2—4天。田间为害以6—8月为主;灯下威虫有7月和9—10月两个高峰。有分距姬蜂Cremastus sp.和稻苞虫寄蝇Pseudoperiehaeta insidiosa二种天敌。应用80%敌敌畏800倍等农药,在百花虫数达40头上下、二龄幼虫约占50%时,兼喷植株、落地花,能达到降低花、荚被害率,提高鲜荚产量、品质和降低成本的效果。     

Joint species distribution modelling for spatio‐temporal occurrence and ordinal abundance data

Aim

Species distribution models are important tools used to study the distribution and abundance of organisms relative to abiotic variables. Dynamic local interactions among species in a community can affect abundance. The abundance of a single species may not be at equilibrium with the environment for spreading invasive species and species that are range shifting because of climate change. Innovation : We develop methods for incorporating temporal processes into a spatial joint species distribution model for presence/absence and ordinal abundance data. We model non‐equilibrium conditions via a temporal random effect and temporal dynamics with a vector‐autoregressive process allowing for intra‐ and interspecific dependence between co‐occurring species. The autoregressive term captures how the abundance of each species can enhance or inhibit its own subsequent abundance or the subsequent abundance of other species in the community and is well suited for a ‘community modules’ approach of strongly interacting species within a food web. R code is provided for fitting multispecies models within a Bayesian framework for ordinal data with any number of locations, time points, covariates and ordinal categories.

Main conclusions

We model ordinal abundance data of two invasive insects (hemlock woolly adelgid and elongate hemlock scale) that share a host tree and were undergoing northwards range expansion in the eastern U.S.A. during the period 1997–2011. Accounting for range expansion and high inter‐annual variability in abundance led to improved estimation of the species–environment relationships. We would have erroneously concluded that winter temperatures did not affect scale abundance had we not accounted for the range expansion of scale. The autoregressive component revealed weak evidence for commensalism, in which adelgid may have predisposed hemlock stands for subsequent infestation by scale. Residual spatial dependence indicated that an unmeasured variable additionally affected scale abundance. Our robust modelling approach could provide similar insights for other community modules of co‐occurring species.     

白及小分子热激蛋白BsHsp17.3基因的克隆与表达分析

为了探索人工栽培白及的适宜条件,该研究以湖北省十堰市野生白及为对象,采用同源克隆和3'RACE技术,从白及(Bletilla striata)中获得与热激蛋白合成有关的BsHsp17.3基因,并分析BsHsp17.3基因对不同胁迫的响应。结果表明:BsHsp17.3基因开放阅读框长度为453 bp,编码150个氨基酸;蛋白的分子量为17.42 kD,等电点为6.33。进化树分析表明BsHSP17.3蛋白与同为兰科的铁皮石斛进化关系较近,同在一分支上。半定量RT-PCR分析显示BsHsp17.3基因在白及根、叶、鳞茎及花组织中的表达具有特异性,且BsHsp17.3基因在叶中的表达量较高,在鳞茎及花中不表达。实时荧光定量PCR检测显示BsHsp17.3对非生物胁迫高温、低温具有明显应答反应,20%PEG模拟干旱胁迫不诱导该基因表达,推测该基因在白及防止倒苗过程中可能发挥一定作用。     

Low temperature induces oocytes p34^cdc2 synthesis and accumulation—the acquisition of competence to resume meiosis in toad oocytes

Full grown oocytes derived from Bufo Bufo gargarizans rearing at high temperature environment (24℃), never underwent GVBD after progesterone treatment.No p34^cdc2 Hl kinase activity was detected in the oocytes after progesterone stimulation or OA microinjection;Western blotting analysis showed that the level of p34^cdc2 and p33 in the oocytes are significantly lower than those in the oocytes derived from the hibernating toads (below 10℃).^35S-Met incorporation analysis showed that when the oocytes were incubated at 6℃,synthesis of about thirty defferent polypeptides was promoted or induced,including p34^cdc2 and some other p13^suc1-binding proteins.All these results indicated that a low temperature environment is essential for the oocytes of Bufo Bufo gargarizans to express and stord some cell cycle drivers and its regulators,and to gain the maturation competence.These results will also provide a nwe clue for explaining the molecular mechanisms why gametogenesis of some organisms depends on a relative low temperature and how to maintain the geographical distribution of some animals.     

绿豆幼苗生长状态对环境羟基自由基水平的影响

为了解植物生长状态对环境羟基自由基水平的影响,研究了相同培养条件下不同生长状态的绿豆(Vigna radiata)幼苗对空气中的羟基自由基水平的影响。结果表明,正常生长的绿豆幼苗周围环境羟基自由基水平显著高于没有植物生长的环境,失活幼苗对周围环境羟基自由水平没有显著影响;渗透胁迫的绿豆幼苗对环境羟基自由基水平影响极显著,渗透胁迫程度不同其影响程度也有所不同;绿豆幼苗对环境羟基自由基水平的影响与其呼吸速率密切相关。这证明绿豆幼苗生长对环境羟基自由基水平有影响,且这种影响依赖于其生理代谢过程及生长状态。
