再力花处理河涌和湖泊水样有机污染物及离子的特性

为了明确河涌和湖泊水样中COD、TP、TN和阴阳离子的植物处理效果,以及含氮污染物的植物转化规律,以前期研究中选育的再力花处理了广州市某河涌和暨南大学明湖水样.结果证明,再力花能有效地促进河涌和湖泊水样中TN、COD_Cr和TP的去除.处理144h后,河涌水样初始浓度为11.15mg·L^-1、45mg·L^-1和1.17mg·L^-1的TN、COD_Cr和TP分别降至3.21mg·L^-1、15.8mg·L^-1和0.53mg·L^-1;湖水初始浓度为4.50mg·L^-1、36mg·L^-1和0.25mg·L^-1的TN、COD_Cr和TP分别降至2.31mg·L^-1、11.7mg·L^-1和0.03mg·L^-1.水样中的微生物和再力花均能去除NH₄⁺,并引起水中还原态氮发生亚硝化和硝化,但是不会明显改变Cl^-、SO₄^2-、Na⁺、K⁺、Mg²⁺和Ca²⁺等离子的浓度.

采用砂培法研究了不同浓度再力花地下部水浸提液对荇菜、苦草、水田芥、芦苇和黄菖蒲幼苗的生长、光合速率、根系活力、叶绿素含量以及抗氧化保护酶活性的影响,并采用气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)联用技术对再力花地下部水浸提液的化学成分进行了分析。结果表明:再力花地下部水浸提液对荇菜、苦草、水田芥、芦苇和黄菖蒲5种水生植物幼苗生长有明显的影响,其中使用50mg干重/mL再力花水浸提液处理5种水生植物幼苗,对其生长指标有着极显著的抑制作用(P<0.01),苦草、水田芥和黄菖蒲的净光合速率分别降低69.0%、63.7%和73.5%,荇菜、苦草、水田芥和黄菖蒲幼苗根系活力分别降低67.3%、65.4%、52.2%和46.7%,5种水生植物幼苗叶绿素含量分别下降59.7%、71.2%、35.2%、50.0%和76.5%。当处理浓度为5mg/mL时,对5种水生植物幼苗体内过氧化物酶(POD)、超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性有显著的促进作用;当浓度为50mg/mL时,对5种水生植物幼苗体内POD、SOD和CAT有显著的抑制作用,丙二醛(MDA)含量增加。分析显示,再力花地下部水浸提液中主要含有愈创木酚(78.93%)、邻苯二甲酸二丁基酯(7.13%)、邻苯二甲酸二乙氧基乙酯(1.48%)、香豆满(1.09%)、邻苯二甲酸二乙酯(0.98%)、松油醇(0.70%)、吲哚(0.65%)、二丁基羟基甲苯(0.64%),合计占到总量的91%以上。     

南京地区外来植物一年蓬上访花昆虫的多样性及其访花选择性的影响因素分析

为揭示外来植物一年蓬Erigeron annuus上的本土访花昆虫多样性和影响访花行为的因素, 本研究在南京郊区进行了连续2年的野外调查, 采用跨栏模型分析了环境因素如何影响昆虫的访花选择性, 即接受概率（测度是否接受一年蓬花）和访问频数（测度接受一年蓬花的程度）。调查发现, 访问一年蓬花的昆虫共计9目54科145种, 其中, 科丰富度占优势的是膜翅目、 鳞翅目和鞘翅目（均占总科数的20.75%）, 其次是双翅目（18.87%）和半翅目（13.21%）; 物种丰富度占优势的是双翅目（26.39%）, 其次是膜翅目（18.75%）、 半翅目（18.75%）、 鞘翅目（17.36%）和鳞翅目（15.38%）。多数目的物种丰富度在6-7月最高, 9月最低, 仅双翅目（食蚜蝇为主）在5月最高。运用跨栏模型对物种优势度最大的半翅目、 膜翅目和双翅目等的访花个体数量及其影响因素的分析结果表明： 影响半翅目和膜翅目对一年蓬花访问倾向（接受概率）的因素多于影响其访问频数的因素, 由此预测这些访花昆虫可能参考较多因素做出是否接受一年蓬花, 而依据较少线索做出访问程度的访花行为决策; 一年蓬植株密度影响半翅目和膜翅目昆虫的接受概率, 而花密度影响半翅目和双翅目昆虫的接受概率和访问频数, 说明靶标植物花的特性可能对访花昆虫的访花行为决策起主要作用。

利用腊叶标本初探豹子花属植物的性表达及其与个体大小的关系

植物性系统进化过程中很少有植物通过雌性败育的方式实现性系统由联合走向分离,然而雄花在百合科植物中大量存在,引起了研究者的关注。本研究利用百合科豹子花属植物的腊叶标本,获取它们的花性别表型、花大小、株高以及分布海拔等信息探讨豹子花属植物的性表达样式,并对样本量较多的开瓣豹子花、云南豹子花、多斑豹子花和豹子花四个种的性表达及其与个体大小的关系进行分析。研究结果表明:1)六种豹子花属植物标本中都有雄花存在;根据雄性花和两性花的不同组合,形成雄性个体、两性花个体,和雄花两性花同株个体三种植株类型;2)个体大小(株高)和分布海拔之间不存在相关关系,和植株性别类型相关,即雄性个体一般显著小于具有雌性功能的两性花个体和雄花两性花同株个体;3)个体大小与花大小、每个个体开花总数和雌花数量成显著的正相关关系,而与每个个体的雄花数量无显著的相关关系。本研究更正了一直以来对豹子花属植物性系统的错误认识,首次报道雄花在豹子花属植物中普遍存在,并指出雄花和雄性个体的出现是大小依赖性分配的结果。同时,以研究实例证明了利用腊叶标本开展植物性系统多样性的可行性。

Feasibility of using constructed wetland treatment for molasses wastewater treatment

The surface flow constructed wetland (SFCW) with Cyperus involucratus, Typha augustifolia and Thalia dealbata J. Fraser was applied to treat anaerobic treated-molasses wastewater (An-MWW) under the organic loading rates (OLRs) of 612, 696, 806, 929 and 1,213 kg BOD(5)ha(-1)day(-1). The results showed that both removal efficiency and plant growth rate were increased with the decrease of organic loading rate (OLR). All tested-plant species could not grow under OLR of higher than 696 kg BOD(5)mg l(-1) (p>0.05). Also, the plant-biomass of the systems was reduced by 10.4%, 26.5%, and 64.7% of initial plant-biomass under the OLR of 806, 929 and 1,213 kg BOD(5)ha(-1)day(-1), respectively. However, all tested-plant species showed the same pattern on the plant-biomass production yield and removal efficiency. The highest SS, BOD, COD, total phosphorus, NH(4)(+), NO(3)(-) and molasses pigments (MP) removal efficiencies of 90-93%, 88-89%, 67%, 70-76%, 77-82%, 94-95% and 72-77%, respectively were detected under the OLR of 612 kg BOD(5)ha(-1)day.     

Greenhouse evaluation of fitness-related reproductive traits in roundup<Superscript>®</Superscript>-tolerant transgenic creeping bentgrass (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Agrostis Stolonifera</Emphasis> L.)

Summary Creeping bentgrass is a very important turfgrass species used extensively on golf course greens, fairways, and tees. One of the challenges of creeping bentgrass management is the control of grassy weeds, most of which respond to herbicides in a similar manner to that of creeping bentgrass. As part of a weed management program for golf courses, Roundup^?-tolerant creeping bentgrass will be simple to employ and more effective in controlling problem weeds than currently available methods. The goal of this research was to evaluate fitness-related reproductive traits in four transgenic creeping bentgrass events modified to express a Roundup^?-tolerant gene, cp4 epsps, to determine if these creeping bentgrass events had gained an unexpected reproductive fitness advantage. We compared transgenic events ASR 333, ASR801 with their nontransformed tissue culture line, C99056L and transgenic events ASR365, ASR368 with their non-transformed tissue culture line, B99061R. Populations of plants from three conventional cultivars were also included for comparison to determine whether significant variations, if present in transgenic events, were novel to the non-transformed organism, Agrostis stolonifera L. Our results showed that none of the four transgenic events surveyed were significantly different from the respective non-transformed tissue culture line plants for the following characteristics: first heading date, anthesis duration, inflorescence length, number of florets per inflorescence, pollen size, and seed-set capacity through open-pollination. One of the transgenic events, ASR333, needed significantly more days for anthesis initiation than the nontransformed tissue culture line, C99056L; while another transgenic event, ASR801, exhibited significantly shorter pollen longevity than plants of the tissue culture line, C99056L. However, ASR801 was not significantly different from the conventional cultivars ‘Penn A-4’ and ‘Penncross’ for pollen longevity. Plants of both transgenic events ASR365 and ASR368 did not differ significantly from plants of the tissue culture line, B99061R, for all characters measured.     

Establishment potential of the predatory mirid <Emphasis Type="Italic">Dicyphus hesperus</Emphasis> in northern Europe

The predatory mirid Dicyphus hesperus Knight (Hemiptera: Miridae) is native to North America. The species has been used for the control of glasshouse whitefly on aubergine in the Netherlands, and is currently being evaluated for continued and wider release in Europe. Field and laboratory studies were conducted on a population collected from southern California, USA, to assess the cold tolerance and potential for outdoor establishment under prevailing northern European climates. The supercooling points (whole animal freezing temperatures) of nymphal and adult insects were around −20°C. The lethal temperatures (LTemp₅₀) of non-diapausing nymphs and adults and diapausing adults were close to their respective freezing temperatures at −17.6, −17.6 and −19.2°C. At 5°C, the LTime₅₀ was 54, 101.7 and 117.5 days for fed nymphs, non-diapausing and diapausing adults respectively. When first instar nymphs were placed in the field in winter, starved samples died out after 70 days, but 5% of the fed nymphs survived until the end of winter (140 days) and developed to adult on return to the laboratory. After a similar 5-month field exposure, 50% of fed diapausing adults and 15% of fed non-diapausing adults were still alive at the end of winter, whereas starved diapausing adults died after 140 days. On return to the laboratory after 5 months in the field, both diapausing and non-diapausing adults mated and laid eggs, forming viable populations. Overall, the field and laboratory experiments indicate that this population of D. hesperus is able to enter diapause and that winter temperatures are not a barrier to establishment in northern Europe.     

Rapid responses to high temperature and desiccation but not to low temperature in the freeze tolerant sub-Antarctic caterpillar Pringleophaga marioni (Lepidoptera,Tineidae)

A broad definition of rapid cold hardening (RCH) is that it is the process whereby insects increase their survival of a sub-zero temperature after a brief (h) pre-exposure to a less severe low temperature. The effects of various pre-treatments on survival of two h at -7.9 degrees C were investigated in the freeze tolerant sub-Antarctic caterpillar Pringleophaga marioni (Lepidoptera: Tineidae), the first time RCH has been investigated in a freeze tolerant arthropod. All caterpillars froze when exposed to -7.9 degrees C, and none of the low temperature pre-treatments (-5, 0, 5 and 15 degrees C, as well as -5 degrees C and 0 degrees C with a delay before freezing) nor slow cooling (0.1 degrees C/min) elicited any improvement in survival of -7.9 degrees C as compared to controls. However, high temperature treatments (25, 30 and 35 degrees C), desiccation and acclimation for 5 days at 0 degrees C did result in significant increases in survival of the test temperature, possibly as a result of heat shock protein production. Haemolymph osmolality was elevated only by the 35 degrees C pre-treatment. It is suggested that the unpredictable environment of Marion Island means that P. marioni must always be physiologically prepared to survive cold snaps, and that this year-round cold hardiness therefore supersedes a rapid cold hardening response.     

区域生态系统健康动态评价——以毛集生态实验区为例

区域生态系统健康状况对区域可持续发展具有重要意义。基于\"系统和谐\"理念,构建区域生态系统健康评价体系,对毛集生态试验区生态系统及其4个子系统健康水平和演进趋势进行量化分析。结果表明:5年尺度上社会系统得分受人口健康水平及民众幸福感知强度制约而增幅不大;经济系统得分提高迅速,增幅达到149.5%,但负外部效应明显;自然系统健康水平先降低再增加,主要受湖泊生物多样性下降影响;风险系统得分先降低再增加,自然-经济-社会耦合系统发展失衡是导致风险水平激增的主要原因。区域生态系统健康各年评价结果均为亚健康隶属,正向隶属先增大后减小,环境负荷增大是造成区域生态系统弹性减弱,敏感性增强,发展活力降低的主要原因。     

Contaminant-Adaptation and Community Tolerance in Ecological Risk Assessment: Introduction

Contaminant tolerance, either at the level of the community or an adaptation within populations, has important implications to the risk assessment field. Such tolerance has alternatively been described as a nuisance variable, complicating the extrapolation of toxicity data to field conditions, or as a ‘good weather indicator’, suggesting environmental resilience to a contaminant. These and other issues are explored in this set of invited papers, in which experienced workers from the field of contaminant tolerance have been invited to comment on the relationship between tolerance and the analysis of environmental risk. In addition, recent decades have seen the use of tolerance as a tool for assessing contaminant stress, particularly when establishing causality between specific contaminant exposure and significant ecological impact. The paradigm suggests that an increased tolerance to a contaminant is powerful causal evidence that this contaminant has exerted significant stress. Review, commentary and original data contributions within this Debate and Commentary section explore both the complicating and advantageous aspects of tolerance in risk assessment. The papers conclude that complications associated with tolerance demand careful consideration during risk assessments, and that while population adaptation does not appear to be a promising tool, community-level resistance might be a powerful instrument in ecological risk assessment.
