柴黄姜的传粉生物学特性

对产自湖北武当山的柴黄姜（Dioscorea nipponica subsp．rosthornii Prain et Burkill）的花部特征和访花昆虫种类及访花行为、访花频率和携粉量进行了研究,并对柴黄姜的传粉方式、结实和种子萌发状况进行了检测。结果表明,柴黄姜具有虫媒花的典型花部特征,共观测到访花昆虫4目34种,其中传粉昆虫6种,隧蜂属（Halictus sp．）和地蜂属（Andrena sp．）的2种昆虫是柴黄姜的主要传粉昆虫。访花昆虫对雄株的访花高峰时段为11：00至14：00,对雌花没有明显的访花高峰时段。在自然条件下,柴黄姜的座果率为18．86％,结实率为7．12％,种子萌发率为64．76％。在武当山,柴黄姜种群扩展仍以有性繁殖为主,无性繁殖为重要补充。

研究了温度、pH值及碳源对苹果炭疽病菌(Colletotrichum gloeosporioides)强毒性菌株及低毒性菌株的生长、产孢和孢子萌发的影响。结果表明:菌丝生长温度范围10℃~35℃、最适温度为28℃,低毒菌株生长速率较快,产生分生孢子的温度范围与分生孢子萌发的温度范围为15℃~35℃,低毒菌株孢子萌发率较高,菌丝生长的最适pH值基本相同,pH在3~10的范围内均能生长和产孢,产生分生孢子的最适pH值为4~5,但经离子注入的低毒性菌株C100-2-5的产孢量在不同的pH值和温度下却一直低于经磁场处理的C0.25-1-2和强毒性菌株(对照)。分生孢子的致死温度为47℃、15 min或50℃、5 min。但菌丝的致死温度却不同,对照为60℃、20 min,C0.25-1-2为60℃、25 min,C100-2-5为60℃、30 min,65℃下5 min(及5 min以上)。     

Airborne hyperspectral imaging for estimating acorn yield based on the PLS B-matrix calibration technique

Alternate bearing of acorn is a well-marked yield variability phenomenon in forest production. In Japan, this phenomenon is also related to wildlife management (e.g. of animals such as wild pigs, that rely on acorn as their major feed source). Effective management of animals dependent on acorn will require accurate estimation of acorn yield at an early stage. In this paper, we proposed a way to estimate acorn yield from the canopy reflectance values of individual trees. Using an Airborne Imaging Spectrometer for Application (AISA) Eagle System, hyperspectral images in 72 visible and near-infrared wavelengths (407–898 nm) were acquired over an acorn forest in Japan 10 times over three consecutive years (2003–2005) during the early acorn growing season. The canopy spectral reflectance values for individual trees at each wavelength were extracted from the images, and important wavelengths were determined as estimating factors by the B-matrix technique based on partial least squares (PLS) analysis. Yield-estimating models were then developed by multiple linear regression (MLR). Three models obtained from images acquired on June 27 in 2003, July 13 in 2004 and June 21 in 2005 estimated acorn yield well in comparison with ground truth, indicating that the procedure has considerable potential. The study also demonstrated the B-matrix technique based on PLS analysis to be reliable and efficient in identifying important wavelengths for determining suitable estimating factors that best contribute to the estimation model.     

银杏叶片衰老过程中光合生理特性及叶绿体超微结构的变化

选取自然条件下生长的雌雄银杏植株为实验材料,测定了银杏叶片在衰老过程中部分光合生理指标及叶绿体超微结构的变化。检测结果表明：银杏叶片在衰老过程中净光合速率、叶绿素含量均呈下降趋势,SOD、CAT、APX活性均先上升后下降,MDA含量则一直呈现上升趋势。叶片衰老过程中叶绿体类囊体膜片层逐渐松散,直至膜结构逐渐解体,叶绿体内油脂颗粒增大增多,最终解体。雌雄银杏植株在各项生理指标上差异不显著。     

密度制约作用对箭叶淫羊藿有性繁殖时期形态特征的影响

运用回归分析和非参数检验方法,研究了箭叶淫羊藿(Epimedium sagittatum)在有性繁殖的三个时期克隆片段密度对其各个形态特征的影响,以揭示其资源和繁殖投资情况。结果表明：箭叶淫羊藿在三个有性繁殖期间克隆片段密度对其各个形态特征的影响显著。从回归分析的R2指数来看,其克隆片段密度增大对三个生长时期的制约作用是由弱到强,同时在有性繁殖期间随克隆片段密度的增加其资源投资趋向于有性繁殖;从非参数检验结果来看,有性繁殖期间箭叶淫羊藿明显增加其叶数、叶宽等来获取更多的资源用于提高其繁殖能力,以取得生存。     

Combining multiple biomarker models in logistic regression

Summary .   In medical research, there is great interest in developing methods for combining biomarkers. We argue that selection of markers should also be considered in the process. Traditional model/variable selection procedures ignore the underlying uncertainty after model selection. In this work, we propose a novel model-combining algorithm for classification in biomarker studies. It works by considering weighted combinations of various logistic regression models; five different weighting schemes are considered in the article. The weights and algorithm are justified using decision theory and risk-bound results. Simulation studies are performed to assess the finite-sample properties of the proposed model-combining method. It is illustrated with an application to data from an immunohistochemical study in prostate cancer.
