向日葵螟幼虫的空间分布型及抽样技术

欧洲向日葵螟Homoeosoma nebulellum Denis et Schiffermüller是向日葵上的主要害虫,本文利用6种聚集指标对向日葵螟幼虫的空间分布型进行了测定,结果表明其呈现聚集分布。样本平均数(m)与方差(S2)的对数值的关系式为:lgS2=lg0.2130+0.5639lgm,显示向日葵螟幼虫的空间分布随密度的升高而趋向均匀分布。Iwao的m*-m回归方程为:m*=8.1177+0.1447m,显示该虫在田间分布的基本成分是个体群,个体间相互吸引,个体群的空间分布型为均匀分布。对聚集原因进行分析,得出λ<2,表明向日葵螟幼虫的聚集是由于环境作用所引起的。用Iwao的理论抽样数模型计算出向日葵螟幼虫的理论抽样数模型为:D=0.1时,n=911.77/m-85.53,D=0.2时,n=227.94/m-21.38。采用m*-m关系的序贯抽样模型制定出食葵田间的序贯抽样模型为:T1(n),T0(n)=7.40n±4.54n,油葵田间的序贯抽样模型为:T1(n),T0(n)=10.05n±2.29n。

Reassociation of disk components solubilized with deoxycholate.

Cattle disk membrane was solubilized in 2% deoxycholate in 0.05 m Tris-HCl buffer at pH 8.0. The sedimentation coefficient of rhodopsin in this solvent was 4.4 S. A sedimentation equilibrium study in H₂O-D₂O solvent showed that rhodopsin was mainly associated with deoxycholate and probably free of phospholipid when the deoxycholate concentration was higher than 0.8%. Bleaching of rhodopsin resulted in aggregation of the protein. Reduction of the deoxycholate concentration by dialysis promoted protein-phospholipid interaction in such a way that when the deoxycholate concentration was 0.2%, most of the rhodopsin present in the initial solution formed a soluble protein-phospholipid-deoxycholate complex with a molecular weight of 86,000. The complex, we believe, contains one molecule of rhodopsin, 50 to 55 molecules of phospholipid, and 20 to 25 molecules of deoxycholate.After dialysis against 0.05 m phosphate buffer at pH 6.5 that contained 20 mm MgCl₂ all the material was incorporated into vesicular membranes of diameters from 20 to 500 nm. Such results signify the dominance of rhodopsin-phospholipid interaction over either inter-rhodopsin or inter-phospholipid interactions in the initial decrease of deoxycholate concentration. The protein-phospholipid membrane was then formed by the two-dimensional aggregation of a rhodopsin-phospholipid complex. The presence of at least a part of the sugar moiety of rhodopsin on the outer surface of the vesicles was shown by using ferritin-labeled concanavalin A.     

Surfaces of rod photoreceptor disk membranes: integral membrane components

The membrane surfaces within the rod outer segment of the toad, Bufo marinus, were exposed by rapid-freezing followed by freeze-fracture and deep-etching. Platinum-carbon replicas of disk membranes prepared in this way demonstrate a distinct sidedness. The membrane surface that faces the lumen of the disk shows a fine granularity; particles of approximately 6 nm are packed at a density of approximately 30,000/micron 2. These dimensions suggest that the particles represent protrusions of the integral membrane protein, rhodopsin, into the intradisk space. In addition, when rhodopsin packing is intentionally perturbed by exhaustive digestion with phospholipase C, a concomitant change is observed in the appearance of the luminal surface granularity. The cytoplasmic surface of the disk rarely displays this rough texture; instead it exhibits a collection of much larger particles (8-12 nm) present at approximately 10% of the concentration of rhodopsin. This is about the size and concentration expected for certain light-regulated enzymes, cGMP phosphodiesterase and GTP-binding protein, which are currently thought to localize on or near the cytoplasmic surface of the disk. The molecular identity of the 8-12-nm particles will be identified in the following companion paper. A further differentiation of the cytoplasmic surface can be seen around the very edge, or rim, of each disk. This rim has relatively few 8-12- nm particles and instead displays short filamentlike structures connecting it to other membranes. These filaments extend between adjacent disks, across disk incisures, and from disk rims to the nearby plasma membrane.

Rapeseed and sunflower meal: a review on biotechnology status and challenges

Rapeseed and sunflower are two of the world's major oilseeds. Rapeseed and sunflower meal (RSM and SFM), the by-products of oil extraction, are produced in large quantities. They are mainly composed of proteins, lignocellulosic fibres and minerals. They were initially used as a protein complement in animal feed rations and sometimes as fertilizer or as combustible source. More recently, new alternatives to these traditional uses have been developed that draw on the structure and physicochemical properties of RSM and SFM, which are plentiful sources of nitrogen and carbon nutrients. This feature, together with their cheapness and ready availability, supports the cultivation of various microorganisms in both submerged cultures and solid-state fermentation. Recent studies have thus emphasized the potential utilisation of RSM and SFM in fermentative processes, including saccharification and production of enzymes, antibiotics, antioxidants and other bio-products, opening new challenging perspectives in white biotechnology applications.     

Effects of nitrogen supply on growth, yield and yield components of safflower and sunflower

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) represents an important oil crop internationally and may have a certain production potential under low input conditions, particularly in organic farming systems, where the putatively low nutrient requirement would be an advantage. However, little is known about the nutrient requirements of safflower. This study was undertaken to determine the growth and yield response of safflower as compared to sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) under different N supplies. Safflower and sunflower plants were grown in Mitscherlich pots containing equal volumes of sand, nutrient-poor limed soil, and perlite. Nitrogen supply was the same for both species (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 g per pot) in the first year, but was raised for sunflower (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0 g per pot) in the second. Increased N supply enhanced plant growth and yield for both species. Growth and yield of safflower increased up to 1.0 g pot⁻¹, while the optimum for sunflower was 2.0 g pot⁻¹. Safflower out-yielded sunflower at low N supply, while at high N level the opposite occurred. Functional analysis according to Michaelis–Menten revealed that – in terms of yield formation – safflower is superior to sunflower under N-limited conditions. Safflower is generally more efficient than sunflower in concentrating N in their shoots. N concentration in the photosynthetically active youngest mature blade of both species exhibited the same functional relationship with the N supply, but safflower required a much lower leaf N concentration to produce optimal yield as compared to sunflower, indicating the higher efficiency of the former in terms of NUE. Yield components analysis revealed that in safflower, yield is tightly correlated with the number of capitula per plant and the mass per achene, both being strongly correlated, too. On the contrary, sunflower yield was merely determined by the number of achenes per capitulum, followed by the mass per achene. Path coefficient analysis showed that in safflower, the direct effects of the achene and leaf N content as well as the leaf dry matter on oil yield are small, and mediated principally via indirect effects on the number of achenes per capitulum, while for sunflower the number of achenes per capitulum exerts a strong direct effect. Dedicated to the late Prof. Dr. Burkhard Sattelmacher, who passed away on November 21, 2005.     

Changes in lipid status and glass properties in cotyledons of developing sunflower seeds

Biochemical events involved in the acquisition of germinability and storability during orthodox seed development are well documented; however, the roles played by the physical organization of lipids and water are poorly characterized. The aim of this work was to determine, using a thermodynamic approach, whether changes in thermal properties of lipid reserves, and intracellular glasses might play a role in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) seed development. Triacyglycerols (TAGs) accumulated in cotyledons until the end of seed filling, which occurred 42 days after anthesis (DAA). Further seed development, leading to mature seed at 58 DAA, was mainly associated with an enlargement of lipid bodies without significant changes either in the lipid content or in their composition. When cooled to -100 degrees C, lipid reserves from cotyledons of mature seeds displayed alpha and beta' polymorphic crystalline structures; however, the ability to form alpha crystals, which was an indicator of lipid purity, progressively appeared during seed development. Characteristics of lipid melting confirmed that seed maturation drying was associated with changes in TAG physical organization. Cotyledon development was associated with an increase in the temperature of glass to rubber transition (Tg), thus suggesting a decrease in molecular mobility during maturation drying. This phenomenon was concomitant with an increase in raffinose content. Our results demonstrate that physical characteristics of lipid reserves and glasses of sunflower cotyledons are developmentally regulated and might play a role in acquisition of seed germinability and storability.     

Functional group analysis during ozonation of sunflower oil methyl esters by FT-IR and NMR

Ozonation of neat sunflower oil (SFO) methyl esters was monitored by FT-IR and 1H and 13C NMR spectroscopy. During the early stage of ozonation, ozone absorption was essentially quantitative. This was accompanied by the formation of 1,2,4-trioxolane. IR and NMR spectra of ozonated samples showed that scission of ozonide to give aldehyde were minimal. 1H NMR analysis revealed that the amount of ozonide relative to aldehyde was more than 90% regardless of the extent of ozonation. Complete ozonation was attained after supplying around 0.20 g O3/ml methyl ester after which ozone absorption suddenly dropped to around 25%. At the latter part of ozonation, ozonide and aldehyde reacted with excess ozone to give carboxylic acid. Reaction products were identified according to Criegee mechanism.
