有机肥施用对红壤原生生物与微生物互作的影响

为明确不同施肥处理对土壤原生生物群落、微生物碳代谢活性的影响,以南方典型旱地红壤为研究对象,基于中国科学院鹰潭红壤生态实验站玉米单作系统有机培肥长期定位试验,选取不施肥(M0)、低量猪粪(M1)、高量猪粪(M2)、高量猪粪+石灰(M3)4个处理,利用高通量测序技术研究不同猪粪处理下红壤原生生物多样性、群落结构的变化,揭示原生生物与微生物互作对土壤微生物碳代谢活性和玉米产量的影响。结果表明：(1)长期施用猪粪处理下,土壤pH、有机质(SOM)、全氮(TN)、全磷(TP)、速效磷(AP)和速效钾(AK)的含量显著提高;(2)与M0处理相比,施肥处理显著提高了原生生物生物量和多样性,并且显著改变了其群落结构,其中土壤TP、pH、AP、TN、SOM和AK是原生生物群落结构变化的重要驱动因子;(3)施肥处理显著提高了土壤细菌和真菌生物量,增加了微生物碳代谢活性(Average well color development, AWCD);(4)土壤pH和AP通过影响原生生物多样性和群落结构,间接提高了微生物碳代谢活性和玉米产量。本研究结果为提升旱地红壤的生物多样性,保障土壤健康和维持生态系统服务功...     

荞麦、高粱根系分泌物对玉米根边缘细胞和根生长的影响

植物的根系分泌物是植物根系与周围环境之间的化学媒介,通过传递特定的信息,调节根际微环境,影响周围植物的生长。玉米(Zea mays L.)和荞麦(Fagopyrum esculentum Moench)是农作物间套作体系中典型的不能搭配的组合,其障碍因素尚不清楚。以玉米为受体植物,采用根悬空培养的方法,研究了荞麦、高粱(Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench)根系分泌物对玉米根边缘细胞和根生长的影响。结果发现,玉米根边缘细胞离体培养条件下,用荞麦根系分泌物中的小分子物质处理4、8 h显著诱导边缘细胞凋亡、死亡,细胞活率分别比对照降低了71.6%和72.3%;荞麦根系分泌物中的小分子物质对玉米根产生氧化胁迫,诱导根SOD、POD和CAT活性分别比对照高22.6%、33.9%和107.2%,根中超氧阴离子(O₂^-·)和脯氨酸含量分别比对照高33.9%和49.8%;荞麦根系分泌物中小分子物质的胁迫使根细胞膜透性增大,与对照相比升高80.0%,丙二醛(MDA)含量比对照升高31.5%;荞麦根系分泌物中小分子物质诱导根内源激素(IAA)含...

In Vitro and Molecular Docking Evaluation of Larvicidal Effects of Essential Oils of Five Aromatic Plants on the Fall Armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda JE. Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) from Ivory Coast

Faced with the serious consequences resulting from the abusive and repeated use of synthetic chemicals, today rethinking crop protection is more than necessary. It is in this context that the essential oils of the Lamiaceae Ocimum gratissimum and Ocimum canum, the Poaceae Cymbopogon citratus and nardus and a Rutaceae Citrus sp. of known chemical compositions were experimented. The evaluation of the larvicidal potential of the essential oils was done by the method of topical application of the test solutions, on the L1−L2 stage larvae from the first generation of S. frugiperda obtained after rearing in an air-conditioned room. Lethal concentrations (LC₁₀, LC₅₀ and LC₉₀) were determined after 48 h. After assessing the larvicidal potential of essential oils, molecular docking was carried out to study protein-ligand interactions and their propensity to bind to insect enzyme sites (AChE). The essential oil of O. gratissimum was the most effective with the lowest lethal concentrations (LC₁₀=0.91 %, LC₅₀=1.91 % and LC₉₀=3.92 %). The least toxic oil to larvae was Citrus sp. (LC₁₀=5.44 %, LC₅₀=20.50 % and LC₉₀=77.41 %). Molecular docking revealed that p-cymene and thymol from O. gratissimum essential oil are structurally similar and bind to the AChE active site via predominantly hydrophobic interactions and a H-bond with Tyr374 in the case of thymol. The essential oil of O. gratissimum constitutes a potential candidate for the development of biological insecticides for the fight against insect pests and for the protection of the environment.     

Comparative LCA studies of simulated HMF biorefineries from maize and miscanthus as an example of first- and second-generation biomass as a tool for process development

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) is a versatile platform chemical for a fossil free, bio-based chemical industry. HMF can be produced by using fructose as a feedstock. Using edible, first-generation biomass to produce chemicals has been questioned in terms of potential competition with food supply. Second-generation biomass like miscanthus could be an alternative. However, there is a lack of information if second-generation lignocellulosic biomass is a more sustainable feedstock to produce HMF. Therefore, a life cycle assessment was performed in this study to determine the environmental impacts of HMF production from miscanthus and to compare it with HMF from high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). HFCS from either Hungary or Baden-Württemberg (Germany) was considered. Compared to the HFCS biorefineries the miscanthus concept is producing less emissions in all impact categories studied, except land occupation. Overall, the production and usage of second-generation biomass could be especially beneficial in areas where the use of N fertilizers is restricted. Besides, conclusions for the further development of the on-farm biorefinery concept were elaborated. For this purpose, process simulations from a previous study were used. Results of the previous study in terms of TEA and the current LCA study in terms of environmental sustainability indicate that the lignin depolymerization unit in the miscanthus biorefinery has to be improved. The scenario without lignin depolymerization performs better in all impact categories. The authors recommend to not further convert the lignin to products like phenol and other aromatic compounds. The results of the contribution analyses show that the major impact in the HMF production is caused by the auxiliary materials in the separation units and the required heat. Further technical development should focus on efficient heat as well as solvent use and solvent recovery. At this point further optimizations will lead to reduced emissions and costs at the same time.     

Discrimination by gel-diffusion serology of digitaria striate, maize sterile stunt and other rhabdoviruses of Poaceae

Eight rhabdoviruses from grass and cereal hosts and their antisera were used to examine virus relationships by gel-diffusion serology. Nucleocapsid (Nc) preparations from digitaria striate virus (DSV) and maize sterile stunt virus (MSSV) both contained a major protein of c. 52 OOO daltons, and antisera prepared to these readily discriminated related planthopper-transmitted rhabdoviruses. MSSV showed a moderately close relationship to barley yellow striate mosaic virus (BYSMV) when an antiserum prepared to whole virus was used, but the Nc antiserum showed clearer discrimination. Worthern cereal mosaic virus and DSV showed a distant relationship to BYSMV and MSSV. There was no serological relationship between any of these viruses and cereal chlorotic mottle virus, cynodon chlorotic streak virus, festuca leaf streak virus or maize mosaic virus.     

Maize Rabl7 overexpression in Arabidopsis plants promotes osmotic stress tolerance

Rabl7 is a Late Embryogenesis Abundant (LEA) protein from maize, which accumulates largely during embryogenesis and also in vegetative tissues when subjected to stress conditions. We have analysed the effect of Rab 17 expression under a constitutive promoter in vegetative tissues of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants. These transgenic plants have higher sugar and proline contents, and also higher water loss rate under water stress. In addition, these plants are more tolerant than non-transformed controls to high salinity and recover faster from mannitol treatment. Our results point to a protective effect of Rabl7 protein in vegetative tissues under osmotic stress conditions.     

玉米种子萌发成苗不同阶段需水阈值的研究

用渗透势不同的聚乙二醇（ＰＥＧ）６０００模拟外界环境水分条件,对玉米不同品种的种子在萌动、萌发及成苗三个阶段需水的量化研究表明,种苗的抗旱性随吸水进程的推进而减弱;种子在萌动、萌发及胚芽伸长至一定长度的时间（ｔ）与外界环境水势（ｗ）之间存在着１／ｔ＝ａ＋ｂｗ的关系,据此推算出不同品种在不同成苗阶段的需水阈值,发现不同品种在同一成苗过程中对环境水分条件的反应不同,它们的抗旱性也不同。

钙对生长素诱导的玉米胚芽鞘切段延长生长的影响

１０μｇ／ｇ的ＩＡＡ溶液强烈地促进玉米胚芽鞘切段的延长生长和质子分泌,但这两种效应的启动时间有别．Ｃａ２＋在高浓度下（２—５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）强烈抑制ＩＡＡ诱导的延长生长,但在低浓度下（０．５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）则有轻微的促进作用．ＩＡＡ增大质膜相对透性,而Ｃａ２＋则有稳定膜的作用,且适宜的浓度较低（０．５ｍｍｏｌ／Ｌ）．
