增强的UV—B辐射对麦田生态系统Mg和Zn累积和循环的影响

近 2 0多年以来 ,ＵＶ Ｂ辐射增加对植物个体的影响受到了广泛的关注 ,而对植物群体和生态系统的影响仍然知道的很少[2 ] 。仅见ＵＶ Ｂ辐射对副极地石南灌丛和沙丘草地生态系统物种结构、生长、物候和叶分解等方面有报道[3,4 ] 。ＵＶ Ｂ辐射影响植物Ｍｇ和Ｚｎ吸收和运转[5～ 7] ,但对营养累积和物质循环的影响了解甚少[3] 。因此 ,大田条件下 ,植物群体和生态系统水平的营养累积和物质循环对ＵＶ Ｂ辐射的响应与反馈的研究 ,对于真实评估ＵＶ Ｂ辐射对生态系统的影响是必不可少的[2 ] 。ＵＶ Ｂ辐射对春小麦生长、生理、群体结构、植物营…     

增强UV-B辐射对大豆胚轴DNA损伤、修复和蛋白质含量的影响

大气平流层臭氧层减薄引起到达地表的 UV- B辐射增强。为探讨在增强 UV- B辐射下植物细胞 DNA的损伤修复和蛋白质含量的关系 ,利用 3H- Td R掺入法 ,研究了在 8.2 2 k J/(m2 d)和 12 .4 2 k J/(m2 d) U V- B辐射 (相当于兰州地区大气平流层臭氧减薄约 12 %和 2 0 % )胁迫下 ,大豆胚轴细胞 DNA合成和非按期合成 (UDS)变化 ,并测定了胚轴蛋白质含量变化 ,结果显示 ,UV- B辐射导致 DNA损伤 ,并诱导了 DNA损伤的修复 ,胚轴细胞 UDS效应增强 ,U DS指数增大。低 UV- B辐射强度下 ,胚轴蛋白质含量增加 ,可能是 U V- B诱导了一些与抗性有关的基因表达 ,导致一些新的与抗性有关的蛋白质合成 ;在高强度 UV- B辐射下 ,U DS指数与低强度辐射下无显著差异 (P=0 .0 5 ) ,但蛋白含量较低强度辐射下显著下降 (P=0 .0 5 ) ,说明高强度 UV- B辐射加重了 DNA损伤 ,而修复并未加强 ,并且高强度辐射抑制基因的正常表达和蛋白质合成。这些蛋白质的合成可能与大豆对 UV- B辐射的抗性有关。     

西双版纳不同林龄次生植物群落优势树种的热值

该文对西双版纳的4种次生植物群落优势树种的热值进行了研究。4种群落类型分别是山黄麻(Trema orientalis)群落、白背桐(Mallotus paniculatus)群落、中平树(Macaranga denticulata)群落和思茅崖豆(Millettia leptobotrya)群落,群落年龄分别为2、4、6年和大于15年。4种群落各优势树种的平均干重热值分别为19 182.11、19 474.81、19 551.38和19 445.95 J·g^-1。总体来讲,热值随着群落年龄的增加而增加。增长的原因应该是群落光能利用效率的增加。思茅崖豆群落的热值稍有降低,是因为这个群落样地处在阴坡,不能接受到像其它3个群落那样在阳坡的充足光照。先锋树种的热值明显低于顶极树种。可能是因为在群落演替初期,生态系统增加能量耗散的主要方式是通过生物量的增加;而当结构建成,生物量增加到一定程度,已经没有足够增长空间的时候,生态系统将会改变能量储存方式,主要通过单位质量固定能量的增加,也就是热值的增加,来耗散能量。山黄麻群落中叶片的热值非常低,低于根的热值水平,是短命树种将能量更多地投资于繁殖的原因。     

α-NAA和UV-B辐射对栝楼幼苗光合色素及保护酶活性的影响

温室条件下研究 UV- B辐射 ( 0 .0 2 9J/( m2·s) )和外施 α-萘乙酸 ( α- NAA) ( 2 mg/L)对栝楼叶片光合色素及保护酶活性的影响。实验结果表明 :外施α- NAA,能提高栝楼幼苗叶片叶绿素及类胡萝卜素的含量 ,提高保护酶 SOD、CAT、POD、ASP的活性 ,细胞膜相对透性和膜脂过氧化产物 MDA含量相对稳定。UV- B辐射单独处理 ,则极显著地降低叶绿素 a的含量 ,叶绿素 b含量也呈明显地下降趋势 ,类胡萝卜素含量稍有下降 ,极显著降低栝楼幼苗叶片 SOD、POD、CAT、ASP活性 ,引起细胞膜相对透性明显增大 ,MDA含量显著增加。α- NAA与 UV- B辐射共同处理栝楼幼苗 ,与 UV- B辐射处理相比 ,叶绿体色素含量都有不同程度增加 ,而细胞膜相对透性、MDA含量则有不同程度降低 ,SOD、POD、ASP活性上升 ,CAT活性显著上升。以上结果暗示 ,UV- B辐射对生长的影响可能是 :( 1 )破坏光合色素而导致光合能力下降 ;( 2 )降低保护酶 SOD、POD、CAT、ASP活性 ,导致膜脂过氧化 ,膜结构遭到破坏 ,膜透性增加。而外施α- NAA,能部分减轻由增强的 UV- B辐射对栝楼幼苗造成的这种伤害 ,其原因可能是 α- NAA提高了保护酶活性 ,维持了活性氧产生与清除之间的平衡 ,即是维持了膜结构的稳定性。可见 ,α- NAA能增加栝楼对 UV- B辐射的抗性。     

增强的UV—B辐射对春小麦植株化学成分、真菌定殖和分解的影响

在UV－B辐射下,叶可溶性糖含量显著降低,叶可溶性蛋白含量和粗纤维含量以及茎粗纤维含量显著增加,而根粗纤维含量没有显著变化,在生长期接受UV－B辐射的叶和茎上,赭绿青霉和黑曲霉的定殖率显著增加,康宁木霉和出芽短梗霉的定殖率明显降低,而土曲霉的定殖率未受明显影响,这些叶和茎经过60d和100d的分解,分解率均显著增加,叶分解率与粗纤维含量和可溶性蛋白含量呈显著正相关,而与可溶性糖含量呈显著负相关,茎分解率与粗纤维含量呈显著正相关,在增强的UV－B辐射下,春小麦植株化学成分的变化,真菌定殖率的改变,分解率的增加,可能会导致麦田生态系统营养周转加快,土壤库中营养贮量增加。     

增强的UV-B辐射对麦田生态系统中种群数量动态的影响

研究了大田栽培和自然光条件下,模拟UV-B辐射(UV-B,280～315nm)增强对麦田生态系统杂草、大型土壤动物和麦蚜种群数量动态的影响。在UV-B辐射下,杂草和大型土壤动物的种类和数量降低,物种多样性改变,杂草总生物量也降低。UV-B辐射降低麦蚜复合种群数量,并与麦叶粗纤维、可溶性蛋白、可溶性糖、Mg和Zn含量有显著的相关性。UV-B辐射还导致麦蚜与麦叶Mg、Fe和Zn含量均显著增加。

中国西南地区热带季节雨林及山地常绿阔叶林热值及能量分配格局

能量分配格局是研究生态系统能量流动的基础,但是由于热带森林结构的高度复杂性和物种多样性,对它的热值和能量分配格局的全面研究还很少。该文研究的热带季节雨林位于西双版纳,是分布于热带亚洲北缘的一种森林类型;山地常绿阔叶林位于云南省中部的哀牢山,属于我国西部亚热带地区的山地常绿阔叶林。该研究的目的是探讨这两种重要森林类型的热值和能量分配格局,验证Golley(1961,1969)提出的世界范围内植被的热值由低纬度向高纬度、由低海拔向高海拔升高的规律。热值的测定采用SDCM-Ⅲa氧弹测量仪。两个森林样地面积都是1 hm²,能量分配格局及年固定量根据生物量和生物量增量计算。研究结果表明,热带季节雨林样地的热值低于山地常绿阔叶林,乔木层的热值>灌木层>草本层,所有器官中叶片的热值较高。由于以前种植砂仁(Amomum villosum)的影响,热带季节雨林样地的能量现存量小于山地常绿阔叶林,但是因为地处高温高湿、光照充足的地区,热带季节雨林的能量年固定量高于山地常绿阔叶林。对于热带季节雨林样地来说,97%的能量储存在乔木层中;山地常绿阔叶林样地的乔木层储存了88%的能量,可见乔木层是维持森林能量结构的关键层。研究结果为Golley的结论提供了更加丰富的实验证据。     

Differences of energy intake and energy expenditure of elite Taekwondo players receiving summer vs. winter intensive training

[Purpose]

This study aimed to evaluate the energy expenditure and energy intake as an experiment of energy balance of elite Taekwondo players receiving summer vs. winter intensive training.

[Methods]

The summer training group (STG, n = 15) and the winter training group (WTG, n = 18) wore an accelerometer for the measurement of energy expenditure and maintained a daily dietary record for measurement of energy intake, for seven consecutive days during summer or winter intensive training.

[Results]

The total energy expenditure (TEE) (834.1 kcal, p < .001), the total counts (1,867 counts, p = .038), and the energy expenditure during moderate (384.6 kcal, p < .001) and vigorous activity (351.8 kcal, p < .001) were significantly lower in the STG than in the WTG. On the other hand, the macronutrient intake showed that intake of energy (902.7 kcal, p < .001), carbohydrates (82.6g, p < .001), and protein (93.9g, p < .001) in the STG were significantly lower than those of the WTG. When comparing TEE and total energy intake, the STG consumed 902.7 kcal less as energy than the WTG, while the STG performed 834.1 kcal more as TEE than that of the WTG.

[Conclusion]

In conclusion, both of the summer and winter intensive training are not proper for energy balance condition. Therefore, to promote the optimal energy balance during the summer or winter intensive training period, a training and sports nutrition program based on the amount of energy expenditure and energy intake for Taekwondo players should be considered.     

Effects of two weeks' mandatory snack consumption on energy intake and energy balance

Objective: Our goal was to compare the effects of mandatory consumption of commercial snack products (CSPs) on energy intakes and energy balance in free‐living adults and to assess the interaction between habitual level of CSP consumption and the interventions. Research Methods and Procedures: Four groups of 18 subjects (lean and overweight, males and females) were studied using a crossover design. Subjects consumed one type of CSP (high‐carbohydrate, high‐fat, or mixed composition) at three manipulations of energy 0 MJ (control), 1.5 MJ (low‐energy), and 3.0 MJ (high‐energy) each day during three 14‐day interventions. The study design was parallel for type of CSP (macronutrient composition) and within‐subjects for energy level. Subjects self‐recorded food intakes between Days 8 and 14, and body weights were investigator‐recorded on Days 1, 8, and 15 of each intervention period. Daily energy expenditure was estimated by heart rate monitoring. Results: Daily energy intakes increased from 10.4 MJ (control) to 11.1 MJ (low‐energy) and 11.5 MJ (high‐energy) (p < 0.001), resulting in a trend (not significant) for body weight gain. Energy balance was more positive when subjects were not recording their food intakes than when they were (p < 0.001). There was a trend (not significant) for greater increases in energy intake with increasing fat content, and energy density, of the interventions. Frequent CSP consumers compensated more for the interventions than did infrequent CSP consumers (R² = 0.125, p = 0.003). Discussion: Subjects partially compensated for energy when supplemented with CSPs over 14‐day periods, although this was insufficient to prevent some increase in energy balance. The level of compensation correlated with habitual energy intake from CSPs.     

Timing of potential and metabolic brain energy

The temporal relationship between cerebral electro-physiological activities, higher brain functions and brain energy metabolism is reviewed. The duration of action potentials and transmission through glutamate and GABA are most often less than 5 ms. Subjects may perform complex psycho-physiological tasks within 50 to 200 ms, and perception of conscious experience requires 0.5 to 2 s. Activation of cerebral oxygen consumption starts after at least 100 ms and increases of local blood flow become maximal after about 1 s. Current imaging technologies are unable to detect rapid physiological brain functions. We introduce the concepts of potential and metabolic brain energy to distinguish trans-membrane gradients of ions or neurotransmitters and the capacity to generate energy from intra- or extra-cerebral substrates, respectively. Higher brain functions, such as memory retrieval, speaking, consciousness and self-consciousness are so fast that their execution depends primarily on fast neurotransmission (in the millisecond range) and action-potentials. In other words: brain functioning requires primarily maximal potential energy. Metabolic brain energy is necessary to restore and maintain the potential energy.     

Dynamic energy correlation analysis of E. coli aspartokinase III and alteration of allosteric regulation by manipulating energy transduction pathways

Conformational change associated with allosteric regulation in a protein is ultimately driven by energy transformation. However, little is known about the latter process. In this work, we combined steered molecular dynamics simulations and sequence conservation analysis to investigate the conformational changes and energy transformation in the allosteric enzyme aspartokinase III (AK III) from Escherichia coli. Correlation analysis of energy change at residue level indicated significant transformation between electrostatic energy and dihedral angle energy during the allosteric regulation. Key amino acid residues located in the corresponding energy transduction pathways were identified by dynamic energy correlation analysis. To verify their functions, residues with a high energy correlation in the pathways were altered and their effects on allosteric regulation of AKIII were determined. This study sheds new insights into energy transformation during allosteric regulation of AK III and proposes a strategy to identify key residues that are involved in intramolecular energy transduction and thus in driving the allosteric process.     

Effects of forest management on the carbon dioxide emissions of wood energy in integrated production of timber and energy biomass

The aim of this work was to study the sensitivity of carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from wood energy to different forest management regimes when aiming at an integrated production of timber and energy biomass. For this purpose, the production of timber and energy biomass in Norway spruce [Picea abies (L.) Karst] and Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) stands was simulated using an ecosystem model (SIMA) on sites of varying fertility under different management regimes, including various thinning and fertilization treatments over a fixed simulation period of 80 years. The simulations included timber (sawlogs, pulp), energy biomass (small‐sized stem wood) and/or logging residues (top part of stem, branches and needles) from first thinning, and logging residues and stumps from final felling for energy production. In this context, a life cycle analysis/emission calculation tool was used to assess the CO₂ emissions per unit of energy (kg CO₂ MWh^?1) which was produced based on the use of wood energy. The energy balance (GJ ha^?1) of the supply chain was also calculated. The evaluation of CO₂ emissions and energy balance of the supply chain considered the whole forest bioenergy production chain, representing all operations needed to grow and harvest biomass and transport it to a power plant for energy production. Fertilization and high precommercial stand density clearly increased stem wood production (i.e. sawlogs, pulp and small‐sized stem wood), but also the amount of logging residues, stump wood and roots for energy use. Similarly, the lowest CO₂ emissions per unit of energy were obtained, regardless of tree species and site fertility, when applying extremely or very dense precommercial stand density, as well as fertilization three times during the rotation. For Norway spruce such management also provided a high energy balance (GJ ha^?1). On the other hand, the highest energy balance for Scots pine was obtained concurrently with extremely dense precommercial stands without fertilization on the medium‐fertility site, while on the low‐fertility site fertilization three times during the rotation was needed to attain this balance. Thus, clear differences existed between species and sites. In general, the forest bioenergy supply chain seemed to be effective; i.e. the fossil fuel energy consumption varied between 2.2% and 2.8% of the energy produced based on the forest biomass. To conclude, the primary energy use and CO₂ emissions related to the forest operations, including the production and application of fertilizer, were small in relation to the increased potential of energy biomass.     

Inclusion of solvation free energy with molecular mechanics energy: alanyl dipeptide as a test case.

A combined force field of molecular mechanics and solvation free energy is tested by carrying out energy minimization and molecular dynamics on several conformations of the alanyl dipeptide. Our results are qualitatively consistent with previous experimental and computational studies, in that the addition of solvation energy stabilizes the C5 conformation of the alanyl dipeptide relative to the C7.

Estimation of metabolisable energy and net energy of rice straw and wheat straw for beef cattle by indirect calorimetry

Two experiments were conducted to estimate the metabolisable energy (ME) and net energy (NE) of rice straw and wheat straw for beef cattle. In each experiment, 16 Wandong bulls (Chinese indigenous yellow cattle) were assigned to 4 dietary treatments in a completely randomised design. Four dietary treatments included one corn silage-concentrate basal diet and three test diets in which the basal diet was partly substituted by rice straw (Exp. 1) or wheat straw (Exp. 2) at 100, 300 and 600 g/kg. Total collection of faeces and urine was conducted for 5 consecutive days after a 2-week adaption period, followed by a 4-d period where gas exchange measurements were measured by an open-circuit respiratory cage. Linear regression equations of rice straw- or wheat straw-associated ME and NE contribution in test diets against rice straw or wheat straw substitution amount were developed to predict the ME and NE values of rice straw and wheat straw. These regression equations resulted in ME and NE values (dry matter basis) of 6.76 and 3.42 MJ/kg for rice straw and 6.43 and 3.28 MJ/kg for wheat straw, respectively. The NE and ME requirement for maintenance of Wandong cattle fed a straw-based diet were 357 and 562 kJ·kg^?0.75·d^?1, respectively. The regression-derived ME and NE have lower standard errors and coefficients of variation than those estimated by any single substitution ratio. Our study found that the regression method based on multiple point substitution is more reliable than the substitution method for energy evaluation of feedstuffs for beef cattle.
