Origin and taxonomic status of the Palearctic population of the stem borer Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefèbvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)

The major pest of maize in Mediterranean Europe, the stem borer Sesamia nonagrioides (Lefèbvre) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae), has a fragmented distribution, north and south of the Sahara. The present study aimed: (1) to clarify the uncertain taxonomic status of the Palearctic and sub‐Saharan populations which were first considered as different species and later on as subspecies (Sesamia nonagrioides nonagrioides and Sesamia nonagrioides botanephaga) and (2) to investigate the origin of the Palearctic population which extends from Spain to Iran, outside what is considered typical for this mainly tropical genus. We reconstructed the evolutionary history of both populations using one nuclear and two mitochondrial genes. The sub‐Saharan taxon was fragmented in two isolated populations (West and East) whose mitochondrial genes were distant by 2.3%. The Palearctic population was included in the East African clade and its genes were close or identical to those of a population from Central Ethiopia, where the species was discovered for the first time. Similarly, in Africa, the alleles of the nuclear gene were distributed mainly in two West and East clades, whereas some Palearctic alleles belonged to the West clade. The Palearctic population originated therefore from East and West Africa and is the progeny of the cross between these two African populations. The main species concepts were in agreement, leading to the conclusion that the three populations are still conspecific. In the surveyed regions, the species therefore does not include two subspecies but three isolated populations. The Palearctic population suffered from severe bottlenecks that resulted in the fixation of one East African mitochondrial genome and the large reduction in its genetic diversity compared to the African populations. The data suggest that natural colonization of the Palearctic region was more plausible than human introduction. The allelic distribution of the Palearctic population was similar to that of species that survived the last glaciation. It is concluded that the African populations expanded during the last interglacial, crossed the Sahara and mixed in North Africa where fixation of the East mitochondrial genome occurred. The species then colonized Europe westward through only one eastern entrance. The coalescent‐based estimate of the time to the ancestor of the Palearctic population was 108 000 years, which is consistent with this scenario. © 2011 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 103 , 904–922.     

葡寡糖对LPS诱导小鼠氧化应激与炎症反应调节作用的研究

本文研究了低、中、高三种不同聚合度葡寡糖(LGOS、MGOS、HGOS)对小鼠氧化应激与炎症反应的调节,并探讨其可能的作用机制。在采食正常日粮基础上,各组小鼠每日分别灌胃生理盐水、低聚果糖(FOS)、LGOS、MGOS、HGOS。21 d后,腹腔注射脂多糖(LPS)诱导小鼠建立氧化应激与炎症反应模型,分别测定LPS刺激后4 h和18 h时血清和肝脏中活性氧(reactive oxygen species,ROS)水平、总抗氧化能力(total antioxidant ca-pacity,T-AOC)、过氧化氢酶(catalase,CAT)、谷胱甘肽过氧化物酶(glutathione peroxidase,GSH-Px)活性、丙二醛(Malondialdehyde,MDA)含量、肝脏中一氧化氮(NO)含量、一氧化氮合酶(nitric oxide synthase,NOS)活性、血清中白细胞介素1(Interleukin-1,IL-1)和肿瘤坏死因子(tumor necrosis factor,TNF-a)含量。结果表明:三种聚合度葡寡糖均能显著降低LPS刺激小鼠血清、肝脏中ROS水平(P<0.05),降低肝脏中NO含量、T-NOS、iNOS活性、血清中炎性细胞因子(IL-1、TNF-a)含量(P<0.05),显著提高总抗氧化能力(T-AOC)和抗氧化酶(CAT、GSH-Px)活性(P<0.05)。葡寡糖具有保护机体免受氧化损伤,减缓炎症反应的作用,并随着平均聚合度(degree ofpolymerization,DP)的增加,其调节功能逐渐增强。     

上海城市近自然森林的重建动态

近自然森林作为城市植被恢复的重要模式,已在我国多地开展了实践,并衍生了新的造林模式。为评估不同近自然森林建设模式的群落恢复进程,本研究以上海城市裸地上重建的近自然森林为对象,通过长期监测两处分别应用原"宫胁法"与新"异龄复层落叶—常绿混交林"种植模式的近自然森林重建过程,从物种组成、垂直结构、生活型组成和目标恢复物种4个方面解析恢复动态。结果表明:两种造林模式恢复的近自然森林,随恢复进程其物种组成逐渐趋同,在十多年内已形成了落叶—常绿垂直混交结构;"异龄复层落叶—常绿混交林"造林模式可更好地促进常绿阔叶树种的恢复,尤其是常绿建群种红楠与小叶青冈。本研究证实了近自然森林恢复技术可以缩短亚热森林群落向演替后期发展的时间,以及新造林模式的有效性,为近自然森林技术的应用与实施提供了科学依据。     

围封对天山高寒草原4种植物叶片和土壤化学计量学特征的影响

以中国科学院巴音布鲁克草原生态系统研究站长期围栏内外的羊茅(Festuca ovina)、天山赖草(Leymus tiansecalinus)、二裂委陵菜(Potentilla bifurca)和鹅绒委陵菜(Potentilla anserine)4种植物叶片和土壤为研究对象,分析了放牧与围封对植物叶片和土壤C、N、P的化学计量特征的影响。结果表明,围封样地土壤养分浓度整体高于放牧样地(P0.05),全氮(TN)浓度除外。围封显著增加羊茅叶片C、N浓度(P0.05),对P浓度影响不显著;围封显著增加鹅绒委陵菜叶片的C浓度,但是显著降低叶片的N和P浓度(P0.05),围封对天山赖草和二裂委陵菜养分含量影响不显著。围封显著增加鹅绒委陵菜C∶N和C∶P(P0.05);围封显著降低羊茅C∶N、C∶P和增加N∶P(P0.05);围封显著降低二裂委陵菜C∶N(P0.05),对天山赖草的化学计量特征影响不显著。不同植物对围封的响应不同,意味着长期围封可能会改变天山高寒草原生态系统的结构。围封降低优势种(羊茅)的固碳能力,增加退化期出现的代表性植物(鹅绒委陵菜)的固碳能力,表明在长期围封下植物凋落物中的杂类草(鹅绒委陵菜)可能更多的为土壤提供碳来源,也能促进优势禾本科物种的氮含量和碳含量的增加。     

马鹿茸血酶解肽体内免疫功能及抗氧化功能关系的研究

本文分别选用由木瓜蛋白酶水解天山马鹿茸血获得的肽Ⅰ、肽Ⅱ以及原血为受试样品,研究天山马鹿茸血及其酶解肽对小鼠免疫功能和抗氧化功能的影响,其中肽Ⅰ、肽ⅡDH分别为18．1％、12．2％时,清除OH&#183;能力最强,清除率为50．8％。分别测定了脏器指数,脾细胞增殖实验,血清中溶血素和抗体生成细胞的含量以及小鼠血清总抗氧化能力、SOD活力和MDA含量。结果表明：与对照组相比较,肽Ⅱ组能极显著提高小鼠体液和细胞免疫功能,加强小鼠的抗氧化功能（P〈0．01或P〈0．05）。此外,具有较强抗氧化活性的肽显示出了很强的免疫活性（P〈0．05）。     

抗氧化乳酸菌在体外结肠环境清除羟自由基的研究

目的利用鼠肝匀浆经Fe^2＋ -VitC诱导产生丙二醛（MDA）为模型研究29株乳酸菌的抗氧化活性。方法建立体外模拟结肠发酵体系,分析3株具有不同抗氧化能力的乳酸菌（Lactobacillus paracasei Fn032,Laaobacillus rhamnosus GG,Lactobacillus sp．Fn001）在正常结肠和铁过载结肠模型中清除羟自由基效果及对肠球菌增殖的的影响,并检测3株菌螯合亚铁离子能力及其无细胞提取物超氧化物歧化酶（SOD）活性。结果体外结肠体系中羟自由基含量与肠球菌数量有显著相关性。在正常结肠环境中,3株乳酸菌清除羟自由基能力与其SOD活性一致,但与其抑制肠球菌增殖能力和螯合亚铁离子能力不一致。在高铁结肠环境中,3株乳酸菌清除羟自由基能力与它们抑制肠球菌增殖能力和螯合亚铁离子能力一致,但与SOD活性不一致。结论正常条件下乳酸菌可通过产生抗氧化酶来清除结肠自由基,铁过载条件则可增强具有铁螯和能力乳酸菌的抗氧化活性。
