The involvement of gibberellins in the control of flowering of sunflower was studied by direct application of GA3 to the apex of the plants, analysis of the endogenous levels of gibberellin-like substances at different plant ages, and indirectly by the application of paclobutrazol, an inhibitor of gibberellin synthesis. GA3 speeded-up flower initiation and floral apex development. The time of GA3 application was more critical than the amount of GA3 applied. The endogenous levels of gibberellin-like compounds increased significantly by day 15 after sowing. The application of paclobutrazol markedly delayed floral initiation and this effect was also depedent on plant age. Both GA3 and paclobutrazol had their greatest effects between 10 and 20 days after sowing suggesting that an increase in gibberellins in that time period plays a role in floral initiation. 相似文献

Aberrant threat perception has been linked to paranoia, anxiety and other mental health problems, and is widely considered to be a core, transdiagnostic feature of psychopathology. However, to date there has been only limited investigation of whether mental health problems are associated with a biased interpretation of stimuli that have explicit (as opposed to ambiguous) connotations of threat. In the present study, 41 adolescents diagnosed with a mental illness and 45 demographically matched controls were asked to provide danger ratings of stimuli normatively rated as being either low or high in potential threat. All participants were also asked to complete background measures of cognitive function, mental health and wellbeing. The results indicated that the two groups did not differ in their capacity to discriminate between low and high threat stimuli, nor did they differ in the absolute level of threat that they attributed to these stimuli. However, for the control group, the overall level of threat perceived in facial stimuli was correlated with two important indices of mental health (depression and anxiety). No associations emerged in the clinical group. These data are discussed in relation to their potential implications for the role of aberrant threat perception in transdiagnostic models of mental health. 相似文献

General patterns of forest dynamics and productivity in the Andes Mountains are poorly characterized. Here we present the first large-scale study of Andean forest dynamics using a set of 63 permanent forest plots assembled over the past two decades. In the North-Central Andes tree turnover (mortality and recruitment) and tree growth declined with increasing elevation and decreasing temperature. In addition, basal area increased in Lower Montane Moist Forests but did not change in Higher Montane Humid Forests. However, at higher elevations the lack of net basal area change and excess of mortality over recruitment suggests negative environmental impacts. In North-Western Argentina, forest dynamics appear to be influenced by land use history in addition to environmental variation. Taken together, our results indicate that combinations of abiotic and biotic factors that vary across elevation gradients are important determinants of tree turnover and productivity in the Andes. More extensive and longer-term monitoring and analyses of forest dynamics in permanent plots will be necessary to understand how demographic processes and woody biomass are responding to changing environmental conditions along elevation gradients through this century. 相似文献

The spatial distribution of species, functional traits and phylogenetic relationships at both the regional and local scales provide complementary approaches to study patterns of biodiversity and help to untangle the mechanisms driving community assembly. Few studies have simultaneously considered the taxonomic (TBD), functional (FBD) and phylogenetic (PBD) facets of beta diversity. Here we analyze the associations between TBD, FBD, and PBD with the biome (representing different regional species pools) and land use, and investigate whether TBD, FBD and PBD were correlated. In the study design we considered two widely used indicator taxa (birds and ants) from two contrasting biomes (subtropical forest and grassland) and land uses (tree plantations and cropfields) in the southern Neotropics. Non-metric multidimensional scaling showed that taxonomic, functional and phylogenetic distances were associated to biome and land use; study sites grouped into four groups on the bi-dimensional space (cropfields in forest and grassland, and tree plantations in forest and grassland), and that was consistent across beta diversity facets and taxa. Mantel and PERMANOVA tests showed that TBD, FBD and PBD were positively correlated for both bird and ant assemblages; in general, partial correlations were also significant. Some of the functional traits considered here were conserved along phylogeny. Our results will contribute to the development of sound land use planning and beta diversity conservation. 相似文献

The ability to develop reversible dermal extensions on the lower jaw in some South American characiform fishes has been proposed
as a way to optimize the performance of aquatic surface respiration (ASR) during hypoxic conditions. These structures are
formed by edema of the hypodermal tissues and can develop in a large proportion of individuals inhabiting a lake within a
few hours following daily changes in dissolved oxygen. Our study report the development of dermal lip protuberances in eleven
species of characiform fishes associated with periods of strong environmental hypoxia in floodplain lakes of Salado River,
Argentina. Protuberances occurred in different basic forms in fishes with divergent head morphology (genera Astyanax, Ctenobrycon, Aphyocharax, Brycon, Mylossoma, Triportheus, Oligosarcus and Acestrorhynchus). The discovery of dermal projections on the anterior border of maxillary bone extends the known range of structures affected
by lip protuberances. Dermal structures began to develop simultaneously in both jaws below dissolved oxygen (DO) concentrations
of 1.20–1.75 mgl−1 and rose in a steep manner as oxygen level decreased. The degree of morphological plasticity differed among traits and species.
The shape of response of morphology to DO was similar to that previously reported on ASR, providing additional evidence about
the functional link between these traits. Our results suggests that dermal lip protuberances are widely spread among characiform
fishes, affecting several mouth structures. The different types of protuberances would make up for the limitations imposed
by body size and mouth shape and position on the performance of ASR in fishes with divergent morphology. 相似文献

We studied the effect of insulin resistance (IR) induced by administration of a fructose-rich diet (FRD) to normal Wistar rats for 21 days, upon islet plasma membrane calcium ATPases (PMCAs) and insulin secretion. FRD rats showed significantly higher triglyceride and insulin levels, insulin:glucose ratio and HOMA-IR index than controls. FRD islets released significantly more insulin in response to glucose and showed (a) marked changes in PMCA isoform protein content (decreased PMCA 2 and increased PMCA 3), (b) a decrease in total PMCAs activity, and (c) higher levels of cytosolic calcium [Ca2+]i. The lower PMCAs activity with the resultant increase in [Ca2+]i would favor the compensatory greater release of insulin necessary to cope with the IR state present in FRD rats and to maintain normal glucose homeostasis. Thus, changes in PMCAs activity and isoform expression play a modulatory role upon insulin secretion during long-term adaptation to an increased hormone demand. 相似文献
