割草和放牧对大针茅根际与非根际土壤养分和微生物数量的影响

选取内蒙古典型草原大针茅为主要研究对象,研究割草和放牧干扰对其根际与非根际土壤有机碳、全氮、有效氮、全磷、有效磷含量以及微生物数量的影响.结果表明：在割草和放牧干扰下,根际土壤有机碳、全氮、有效氮含量均有不同程度的减少,根际截存效应减弱;土壤全磷由于固定性强不易向植物根部聚集,土壤全磷的根际效应不明显;土壤有效磷异质性较大,在放牧和割草干扰下有不同程度的变化,但根际和非根际间差异不显著;放牧干扰显著减少了土壤微生物的数量;土壤养分的变化与土壤微生物数量的变化关系密切,细菌和真菌的数量变化可能对土壤养分的影响更大;相对于割草,放牧干扰更易造成根际土壤养分的流失及微生物数量的减少.     

施肥对盆栽香樟幼苗不同根序细根养分的影响

以盆栽的1年生香樟实生苗为研究对象,采用指数施肥的方式,测定1~5级细根的C、N、P、K含量,并探讨施肥对香樟幼苗细根养分浓度的影响。结果表明:(1)不同根序细根的全C浓度差异不显著,施肥对细根全C浓度影响不显著(P0.05);(2)在所有根序中,N、P浓度最高的是1级根,但其K浓度却最低;N、P含量最低的是5级根;(3)细根的N、P含量随着根序的增加呈显著的下降趋势(P0.05);(4)施N肥能显著增加1~2级细根的N含量,施P肥能显著增加1级根的P含量,N+P肥较之P肥更能提高1级根对P的吸收;(5)C∶N∶P受根序的影响非常明显,1级根平均为366∶16∶1,5级根则为807∶12∶1,而且C∶N∶P随着根序增加而显著升高,但N∶P无显著影响;(6)虽然施肥对细根C含量无影响,但施N肥或N+P肥对1~2级细根中N的含量有显著性增加。综合分析可知,处理9对香樟苗期养分浓度指标影响最为显著,即施肥量为氮素4g·株-1、磷素4g·株-1、钾素2g·株-1时,对香樟幼苗细根的生长发育有较好地促进作用。研究结果可为香樟的速生丰产及资源的高效利用提供理论依据。

在四川省西南部山区选取调查点,用鼠笼(夹)加食饵诱捕大绒鼠Eothenomys miletus,采集并鉴定其体表的所有寄生虫。从7个调查地点共捕获大绒鼠127只,采集到恙螨、革螨、蚤和吸虱4大类体表寄生虫共3128只,分类鉴定为131种。大绒鼠体表寄生虫的总感染率为96.06%,总平均多度(平均个体数,虫指数)为24.63只寄生虫/每鼠。恙螨优势种为绒鼠纤恙螨Leptotrombidium eothenomydis(24.26%,450/1855);革螨优势种为金氏厉螨Laelaps chini(70.28%,506/720);蚤类优势种为方叶栉眼蚤Ctenophthalmus quadratus(47.30%,149/315)和绒鼠怪蚤Paradoxopsyllus custodis(13.65%,43/315);吸虱优势种为缺齿甲胁虱Hoplopleura edentula(95.38%,227/238)。U检验结果显示,雌、雄大绒鼠宿主间的全部体表寄生虫、恙螨和蚤的物种数和平均个体数差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。Spearman相关分析结果显示,体表寄生虫与宿主身体参数(体质量)间无明显的直线相关关系,相关系数较低(r<0.3,P<0.05)。四川西南山区大绒鼠的体表寄生虫种类十分丰富,物种多样性很高,主要寄生虫类群是恙螨和革螨,并有多种传染病媒介种类。     

Combination of inflammation-related cytokines promotes long-term muscle stem cell expansion

Muscle stem cells (MuSCs, satellite cells) are the major contributor to muscle regeneration. Like most adult stem cells, long-term expansion of MuSCs in vitro is difficult. The in vivo muscle regeneration abilities of MuSCs are quickly lost after culturing in vitro, which prevents the potential applications of MuSCs in cell-based therapies. Here, we establish a system to serially expand MuSCs in vitro for over 20 passages by mimicking the endogenous microenvironment. We identified that the combination of four pro-inflammatory cytokines, IL-1α, IL-13, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, secreted by T cells was able to stimulate MuSC proliferation in vivo upon injury and promote serial expansion of MuSCs in vitro. The expanded MuSCs can replenish the endogenous stem cell pool and are capable of repairing multiple rounds of muscle injuries in vivo after a single transplantation. The establishment of the in vitro system provides us a powerful method to expand functional MuSCs to repair muscle injuries.

土生空团菌对白云母的风化作用及解钾特性

摘要:【目的】为了提高森林土壤含钾硅酸盐矿物利用率和改善树木钾素营养,探讨外生菌根真菌对白云母矿物的解钾及风化效应。【方法】通过5种外生菌根真菌在贫钾条件下与白云母的相互作用,考察了3种常用培养基对菌株解钾能力的影响;采用解钾效果最高的土生空团菌在Modified Melin-Norkrans(MMN)培养基条件下,进一步研究了21d浸出过程中主要矿质元素的释放量、生物量、剩余葡萄糖量、产生的小分子有机酸种类及含量、菌丝-矿物微环境的改变,利用扫描电子显微镜观测白云母被风化的痕迹。【结果】培养基对不同外生菌根真菌解钾能力的影响各异,其中土生空团菌在MMN培养基条件下解钾能力最强,其解钾量与生物量、剩余葡萄糖量、pH值显著相关。土生空团菌能够分泌有助于菌丝-矿物粘附的胞外多糖以形成菌丝-矿物微环境,并富集有机酸,促进微环境内钾的释放;菌丝不仅能够粘附在白云母表面产生刻蚀作用,还能破坏矿物深入其内部。【结论】外生菌根真菌具有促进白云母风化并释放钾素的能力,这种能力可能与菌丝、有机酸、多糖的协同作用有关。     

A long downstream probe-based platform for multiplex target capture

A simple and rapid detection platform was established for multiplex target capture through generating single-strand long downstream probe (ssLDP), which was integrated with the ligase detection reaction (LDR) method for the purpose of multiplicity and high specificity. To increase sensitivity, the ladder-like polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplicons were generated by using universal primers that complement ligated products. Each of the amplicons contained a stuffer sequence with a defined yet variable length. Thus, the length of the amplicon is an index of the specific suppressor, allowing its identification via electrophoresis. The multiplexed diagnostic platform was optimized using standard plasmids and validated by using potato virus suppressors as a detection model. This technique can detect down to 1.2 × 10³ copies for single or two mixed target plasmids. When compared with microarray results, the electrophoresis showed 98.73–100% concordance rates for the seven suppressors in the 79 field samples. This strategy could be applied to detect a large number of targets in field and clinical surveillance.
