Effects of Phosphorus Nutrient on the Hydraulic Conductivity of Sorghum （Sorghum vulgare Pers.） Seedling Roots Under Water Deficiency

Hydroponic experiments were conducted in a growth chamber and changes in the hydraulic conductivity of sorghum (Sorghum vulgare Pers.) roots (Lpr) at the three-leaf stage were measured using the pressure chamber method. Water deficiency was imposed with polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000 and the phosphorus (P) levels were controlled by complete Hoagland solution with and without P nutrient. The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of P nutrition on root Lpr under water deficiency. The results showed that the Lpr in P deficiency treatments decreased markedly, but the Lpr recovered to the same value as that of control when sufficient P was supplied for 4-24 h. Water deficiency decreased Lpr, but the hydraulic conductivity of the roots with sufficient P supply was still higher than that of plants without P supply. When resuming water supply, the Lpr of the water-deficient plants under P supply recovered faster than that of plants without P supply, which indicates that plants with sufficient P nutrient are more drought tolerant and have a greater ability to recover after drought. The treatment of HgCl2 indicated that P nutrient could regulate the Lpr by affecting the activity and the expression levels of aquaporins.     

人工湿地运行过程中有机物质的积累

研究了杭州西湖边人工湿地污水净化生态工程经一年多运行后有机质的积累情况,同时测定了基质的孔隙度和水力传导性,结果表明,人工湿地在运行一年后总有机质积累达到0.658kg/m^2,60%有机质积累主要在0-100mm。湿地上,下池有机质积累有明显差异。且随着基质中的深度和离入水口的距离都呈下降趋势。两池中下层孔隙度均高于上层,并存在显著差异。有机质积累对水力传导性和净化效果均有一定影响,可通过定期收割植物和清除枯落物来维持湿地的长期运作能力。     

矿质元素与心肌细胞的生物电

心肌细胞的生物电现象是心脏生理活动的基础,矿质元素如K^＋、Ca^3＋、Na^＋、Mg^2＋等又是形成生物电的基础,其离子浓度的变化导致不同电位的变化,对正常的心肌活动造成一定的影响,致使出现不同类型的心脏功能变化。     

基因组“巨变”诱导癌症发生

一项引人瞩目的新研究颠覆了癌症的发展是缓慢而有序的传统观点.研究发现在细胞的某次大灾难中,基因组会被打断成几百个碎片,从而引发大规模的突变.在所有常见的肿瘤类型中,这些染色体断裂后重接的现象时有发生,这个理论解释了至少1/40的肿瘤发生的原因.这个现象在骨癌中尤其常见,在1/4的样     

试管苗木薯的光合作用及水分关系特性

引进种试管苗木薯188比本地栽培种面包木薯具有相对高的光合速率、光合产物输出率、光合色素含量、叶片气孔传导性、良好的水分关系参数和较低的乙醇酸氢化酶活性。表明引进种试管苗比本地栽培种对干旱逆境的适应性强,生产性能高。
