Cropping on jhum fallows in north-eartern India is predominantly done for one year in a jhum cycle. If second year cropping
is done, expanse of the forest land required for slashing and burning could be reduced significantly. We tested this hypothesis
in a young (6 yr) and an old (20 yr) jhum fallow. We also evaluated if the productivity during second year cropping could
be alleviated by auxiliary measures such as tilling the soil or application of fertilizers (chemical or farm-yard manure or
both in combination). The results demonstrate that the ecosystem productivity (total dry matter production) and economic yield
(rice grain production) decline with shortening of jhum cycle. Second year cropping causes a further decline in ecosystem
productivity in old jhum field, but not in young jhum field. Economic yield from second year cropping in its traditional form
(without any fertilizer treatment) is not much lower than that in the first year, and can be improved further by manuring
the soil. Tilling of soil improves neither ecosystem productivity nor economic yield. Different fertilization treatments respond
differently; while inorganic manuring enhances ecosystem productivity, a combination of inorganic and organic manuring improves
economic yield 相似文献

Changes in soil fertility were evaluated on young (6 year) and old (20 year) jhum fields in Mizoram, north-eastern India in
response to various operations involved injhum such as slashing and burning of vegetation, cropping period, and intervening
fallow period between first and second year cropping. The results demonstrate that the soil is richer in nutrients in old
than young field prior to the start of jhum cultivation. Slash burning depletes soil acidity, carbon and nitrogen but elevates
phosphorus and cations. Soil fertility declined during first cropping phase, and further declined during second cropping phase.
After two cropping years, soil fertility of old field was almost at par with that of young field, signifying that the loss
of soil fertility was more in old than young field. A short intervening fallow period between first and second year of cropping
did not show any pronounced improvement in soil fertility, though it provided some biomass for second burning. Tilling caused
maximum loss to soil fertility. The fertilizer treatments ended with comparable or better soil fertility in comparison to
no-treatment plot. There seems to be none of the fertilizer treatments superior over others from the standpoint of ending
soil fertility. The unifying conclusions of this series of investigations support the hypothesis that the second year cropping
holds promise to reduce the demand for forested land for jhum, and lengthen the jhum cycle substantially. 相似文献

Changes in ovarian follicular kinetics were studied in relation to aging in the Indian skipper frog
Rana cyanophlyctis.Age was determined by skeletochronology, by counting the number of growth rings and lines of arrest of growth from the cross
sections of 4th phalange of 4th toe. For follicular kinetics study oocytes were counted under binocular using 10% of Bouin’s
fixed ovary and they were classified into first growth phase, medium-sized second growth phase, large-sized second growth
phase and atretic follicles.
Analysis of phalangeal cross sections indicated that frogs ranging 14–54 g in body weight and 4.9–8.9 cm in body size showed
1–7 year rings. Frogs that weighed 14–16 g showed 1 year ring, and contained immature ovaries; those with 18 g body weight
had one to two year rings, in which second growth phase oocytes appeared for the first time in the primiparous ovary. Frogs
with 20–54 g body weight showed 2–5 year rings in which ovary contained 5–24% of second growth phase oocytes. Further, body
weight, body size, ovarian weight, number and size of second growth phase oocytes and total number of oocytes showed a significant
(P < 0.05) positive correlation, while, the number of first growth phase and atretic follicles showed a poor correlation with
age.
The results suggest that in nature, the age of
Rana cyanophlyctis
ranges between 1–7 years. Phalangeal growth rings are formed annually. Females attain sexual maturity in 2nd year. Frogs with
2–5 years of age may constitute breeding females. Body weight, body size, ovarian mass, number of second growth phase and
total oocytes, and egg size increase with age up to 5 years. 相似文献

Evolutionary conservation of angiosperm flower development at the molecular and genetic levels 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
John L. Bowman 《Journal of biosciences》1997,22(4):515-527
Flowers consist primarily of four basic organ types whose relative positions are universally conserved within the angiosperms.
A model has been proposed to explain how a small number of regulatory genes, acting alone and in combination, specify floral
organ identity. This model, known widely as the ABC model of flower development, is based on molecular generic experiments
in two model organisms,Arabidopsis thaliana
and
Antirrhinum majus.Both of these species are considered to be eudicots, a clade within the angiosperms with a relatively conserved floral architecture.
In this review, the application of the ABC model derived from studies of these typical eudicot species is considered with
respect to angiosperms whose floral structure deviates from that of the eudicots. It is concluded that the model is universally
applicable to the angiosperms as a whole, and the enormous diversity seen among angiosperms flowers is due to genetic pathways
that are downstream, or independent, of the genetic programme that specifies floral organ identity. 相似文献

Summary The present study deals with fertility changes in agro-ecosystems where vegetation is removed by slash and burn procedures,
the land is planted to crops (cultivated) for one year, and then left to revegetate naturally for upto 50 years (forested
fallow, here after referred to as ‘fallow’) before the entire cycle (locally called ‘Jhum’) is repeated. A comparison has
been made between three jhum cycles of 30, 10 and 5 years. Depletion in soil carbon continued throughout the cropping period
of one year and extended upto a 5 year fallow. This could be one of the reasons against a short jhum cycle, alongwith a similar
pattern in depletion of nitrogen. Available phosphorus build up in the fallows also starded only beyond a 5 year fallow period
with rapid increase in 10, 15 and 50 year fallows. Cationic concentration in the soil also rapidly declined in the early phases
of regrowth of vegetation. This decline was most pronounced for potassium due to the fact thatDendrocalamus hamiltonii is a heavy accumulator of this nutrient. Since this bamboo species dominates the fallow upto about 20 years, potassium build
up in the soil was observable only at this stage. It is suggested that this species plays an important role in conservation
of this nutrient. In a 50 year fallow, low levels of calcium and magnesium were maintained with rapid depletion of both with
depth which is in contrast to that of potassium and phosphorus. In general, short jhum cycles of 5 year permit only low levels
of soil fertility with very poor recovery during the fallow period. The significance of these results are discussed. 相似文献

Development of the second and third order auditory nuclei—nucleus magnoscellularis (NM) and nucleus laminaris (NL) respectively—was
studied using Nissl stained serial sections from brain specimens between 8 day of incubation and posthatch day 1, at every
two day interval. Reconstruction of these nuclei from three incubation ages showed progressive growth of both nuclei in a
rostrocaudal direction. The volume, total neuron, dead cell and glial cell numbers were estimated using stereological quantitation
methods. Both nuclei, while undergoing an overall gradual increase in volume up to 20 days registered a transient drop in
volume; earlier for NM at 10 days and later for NL at 18 days. From day 20 the two nuclei showed accelerated growth in volume.
The total neuron count rapidly declined up to 12 days with 43% loss of neurons in NM followed by a rise and later stabilization
within a certain range. The NL, however, showed a continuous fall in neuron numbers throughout the incubation period with
20% cell loss by day 12 and an overall loss of 52%. Cell death in both nuclei was maximal at 16 days and spanned the entire
period of incubation. Glia showed a biphasic increase with peak at 14 days for both NM and NL followed by a subsequent rise
at day 20 for both nuclei. These data would help in planning further experimental studies of auditory manipulation. 相似文献

Amaranths are an important group of plants and include grain, vegetable and ornamental types. Despite the economic importance
of the amaranths, there is very little information available about the extent and nature of genetic diversity present in the
genus
Amaranthus
at molecular level. We now report the randomly amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) profiles of different species of
Amaranthus
as well as different accessions of the species. These RAPD analyses have been carried out using 65 arbitrary sequence decamer
primers. From the RAPD data, an UPGMA dendrogram illustrating the inter-as well as intra-species relationships has been computed.
The putative hybrid origin of A.dubious
from
A. hybridus
and
A. spinosus
is also ruled out by the RAPD data. The trends of species relationships amongst the amaranths determined by RAPDs is consistent
with their cytogenetic and evolutionary relationships that have already been determined.

Intraperitoneal administration of 500 mg/kg and 625 mg/kg doses of the germ cell mutagen, ethyl methanesulphonate (EMS) in
5 consecutive days to the house rat,Rattus rattus
caused a dose-dependent reduction in its body weight, cauda epididymides weight, concentration, motility and percentage of
live spermatozoa with simultaneous increase in the percentage of their abnormal forms. Compared to 0·65% spermatozoa with
abnormal heads in the cauda epididymidis of untreated control rats, 24·86% and 65·72% such spermatozoa were observed in rats
on day 14 post treatment with 500 mg/kg and 625 mg/kg doses of EMS respectively. On day 28 post treatment corresponding values
for abnormal spermatozoa were 16·21% and 14·32%. Similarly, spermatozoa with abnormal flagella increased from 0.78% in control
rats to 9·25% and 5·75% on day 14 post treatment of 500 and 625 mg/kg doses of EMS respectively and declined to 2·91% and
2·40% on day 28 post treatment. Abnormality in the sperm head was mainly due to acrosomelessness and in the flagellum due
to bending at proximal region. However, the main effect of EMS was the development of spermatozoa without or deformed acrosomes
which may impair the fertility of rats. Analysis of various stages of differentiation of spermatozoa inthe testis revealed
that population of preleptotene and pachytene spermatocytes and of round spermatids showed a gradual decline which became
significantly less than controls on day 28 of EMS treatment. Occurrence of abnormal heads of testicular spermatids indicated
that the sperm head abnormalities originated in the testis during late spermiogenesis. 相似文献

The tachykinins are a family of gastrointestinal peptides comprising eight members: substance P, neurokinin A, neurokinin
B, eledoisin, physalemin, uperolein, kassinin and phyllomedusin. Consensus dynamics was carried out on an
ensemble
of seven tachykinins to determine the binding conformation of the common C-terminal fragment: Phe-X-Gly-Leu-Met-NH
2
,the ’message sequence’ of tachykinins. Three binding modes for the C-terminal pentapeptide were determined. The first binding
conformation is folded due to an intramolecular H-bond between the NH of the variable residue (X) and CO of Met. Other features
include γ-bends at both the variable amino acid (X) and at Gly. The global minimum of the simulation has this conformation
for the C-terminal pentapeptide. The other two binding modes have slightly higher energies. The second is chiefly characterized
by a β-turn around the segment X-Gly-Leu-Met, with additional β-bends at the variable amino acid (X) and Met. The final binding
conformation is composed of β-bends around the variable amino acid (X) and Leu, and a ’pseudo’ γ-bend at the terminal Met.

Some murine (YAC, P815 and SP20) and human (Molt4, Raji and HR7) tumour cell lines were (i) treated with IFN-γ for inducing
enhanced expression of MHC class I antigen, or (ii) given a brief treatment with citrate buffer (pH 3.0), which resulted in
denaturation of class I MHC antigens on these tumour cells. IFL-γ or acid treated tumour cells were used as unlabelled competing
targets in cold target inhibition assays. The results indicated that the competing ability of acid-treated tumour cells remained
unaltered, whereas IFN-γ treated tumour cells competed with significantly less efficiency. These results have been evaluated
in light of the current view of NK cell development and the expression of inhibitory receptors for MHC class I molecules (IRMs),
on NK cells. A modified view on NK cell heterogeneity based upon IRM expression has been proposed which reconciles several
apparently discordant observations about the activity and role of NK cells. Two classes of NK cells have been proposed. Type
I NK ceils have target recognition receptors which do not recognize autologous normal cells, lack IRMs, and may participate
in first line of defence against transformed cells
in vivo. Type II NK cells have target recognition receptors for autologous normal cells and express at least one self-reactive IRM
in order to prevent auto-killing. Type II NK cells participate in killing those transformed cells which down-regulate their
MHC class I expression in order to escape cytotoxic T-cell surveillance. It is also postulated that mechanism of inverse correlation
of target cell MHC class I expression levels and their susceptibility to NK cells, involves interference model of missing
self hypothesis for type I NK cells and inhibitory signal model of missing self hypothesis for type II NE cells. Finally,
it is proposed that acid treatment of tumour cells enhances their lysis susceptibility by making them additionally susceptible
to type II NK cells, rather than enhancing their killing by type I NK cells. This proposition would explain the lack of effect
of acid treatment on the competing ability of tumour cells, when target cells are only lysed by type I NE cells. 相似文献

Employing the superimposition technique of electron-microscopic immunocytochemistry ultrastructural heterogeneity of the mammotropes
in the pituitary gland of the European ferret,Mustela putorius furo,was studied. On the basis of the size of their secretory granules, the mammotropes were classified into three subtypes, type-I,
type-II and type-Ill, which may correspond to different developmental or physiological states of a single cell type. Simultaneous
study of mammotropes and somatotropes in several pairs of serial semithin sections demonstrated the occasional occurrence
of bihormonal somatomammotropes /mammosomatotropes which may represent a transitional stage of the progenitor stem-somatotrope
during its differentiation into mammotrope; alternatively it may be a functional intermediate during the cross-transformation
of somatotrope into mammotrope or
vice versa. 相似文献

The ultradian rhythm of the lateral leaflets ofDesmodium motorium}(Houtt.) Merril. was recorded with a picture analysis method using a video camera and a computer. The periods are in the minute
range and depend strongly on temperature.
The phosphatidyl inositol signal chain might be involved in the ultradian rhythm of the lateral leaflet movement of
Desmodium motorium:Myoinositol shortens the period length and reduces the known period lengthening effect of lithium ions. Neomycin, which inhibits
the hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol-4,5 -biphosphate to inositol-4-phosphate and diacylglycerin, lengthens the period of
the rhythm at low concentrations (0.2 mM). Higher concentrations shorten the period, perhaps by activating G protein. Mastoparan,
which activates G protein, shortens period likewise. The G protein agonists fluorid ion and ethanol are toxic for the lateral
leaflets and could therefore not be used to test the involvement of G protein.
The intracellular Ca
2+
antagonist 3,4,5-trinietlioxybeiizoic acid 8-(diethylamino)octylester lengthens the period of the rhythm. This indicates,
that release of Cas
2+
from intracellular stores is important for the lateral leaflet movement rhythm. 相似文献

Little is known about whether the high N losses from inorganic N fertilizers applied to lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.) are affected by the combined use of either legume green manure or residue with N fertilizers. Field experiments were
conducted in 1986 and 1987 on an Andaqueptic Haplaquoll in the Philippines to determine the effect of cowpea [Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.] cropping systems before rice on the fate and use efficiency of15N-labeled, urea and neem cake (Azadirachta indica Juss.) coated urea (NCU) applied to the subsequent transplanted lowland rice crop. The pre-rice cropping systems were fallow,
cowpea incorporated at the flowering stage as a green manure, and cowpea grown to maturity with subsequent incorporation of
residue remaining after grain and pod removal. The incorporated green manure contained 70 and 67 kg N ha−1 in 1986 and 1987, respectively. The incorporated residue contained 54 and 49 kg N ha−1 in 1986 and 1987, respectively. The unrecovered15N in the15N balances for 58 kg N ha−1 applied as urea or NCU ranged from 23 to 34% but was not affected by pre-rice cropping system. The partial pressure of ammoniapNH3, and floodwater (nitrate + nitrite)-N following application of 29 kg N ha−1 as urea or NCU to 0.05-m-deep floodwater at 14 days after transplanting was not affected by pre-rice cropping system. In
plots not fertilized with urea or NCU, green manure contributed an extra 12 and 26 kg N ha−1, to mature rice plants in 1986 and 1987, respectively. The corresponding contributions from residue were 19 and 23 kg N ha−1, respectively. Coating urea with 0.2g neem cake per g urea had no effect on loss of urea-N in either year; however, it significantly
increased grain yield (0.4 Mg ha−1) and total plant N (11 kg ha−1) in 1987 but not in 1986. 相似文献

Thehrsω or the 93D heat shock locus ofDrosophila melanogaster, which does not code for any protein, has an important role in development since nullosomy of this locus in transheterozygotes
for two overlapping deficiencies, viz.,Df(3R)
e
Gp4 (eGp4) andDf(3R)GC14 (GC14), is known to cause a high (∼ 80%) mortality with the small number of escapee nullosomic flies being sterile, weak and surviving
for only a few days. We now show that a majority of thehsrω-nulosomics die as embryo and that the 20% escapee embryos develop slower compared to their sibs carrying either one or two
copies of thehsrω locus but after hatching survive to pupal/imago stage. Most interestingly, we further show that when onehsp83 mutant allele (hsp83
e4A) is introduced ineGp4/GC14 trans-heterozygotes, practically none of thehsrω-nullosomic embryos develop beyond the 1st instar larval stage. The specificity of this interaction betweenhsp83 andhsrω genes was further confirmed by examining the effect of thehsp83 mutant allele on other mutations in the 93D cytogenetic region. Therefore, we conclude that thehsp83 mutation acts as a dominant enhancer of the lethality associated with nullosomy for thehsrω gene. The observed genetic interaction between these two members of the heat shock gene family during normal embryonic development
ofDrosophila reveals novel aspects of their biological functions. 相似文献

Summary The influence of continuous cropping and soil test based fertilizer use on the organic nitrogen fractions in the plough layer
has been studied in a Typic Ustochrept soil. Seven years of multiple cropping without manuring caused marked depletion in
all the hydrolysable fractions except unidentified hydrolysable N namely, hexosamine (48.8%), hydrolysable ammonium (23.9%)
and amino acid (7.3%) as compared to an adjacent fallow. Fertilizer nitrogen application maintained the levels of various
forms of N as in the fallow plots and nitrogen in conjunction with phosphorus raised the status of amino acid N. Phosphate
improved the contents of hydrolyzable ammonium and total hydrolyzable N whereas farmyard manure enhanced the latter only.
The system of intensive cropping followed with appreciably high doses of fertilizers favoured greater immobilization of N
in hydrolyzable ammonium and total hydrolyzable fractions.

The farm household responsibility system (FHRS) was adopted in Chinese rural areas during the economic reform in the early 1980s. Since then, many farm households have increased cropping intensity by using large quantities of nitrogen (N) fertilizers in their responsible fields to increase agricultural income. However, intensive cropping systems with low N input are still common in remote places of the southwestern region of China. Maintenance and improvement of soil quality in intensive cropping systems is critical for sustaining agricultural productivity and environmental quality for future generations. The effects of intensive cropping of vegetables on paddy rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield using small quantities of N fertilizers through N mineralization of paddy soil in irrigated rice-based multiple cropping systems were studied in 15 paddy fields in Sichuan Province, China for 3 years. Intensification of vegetable cropping with negative N balance and removal of vegetable crop residues has greatly decreased total N (TN) contents in paddy soil leading to low levels of effective cumulated soil temperature and thickness of plow layer. As a result, the N mineralization in paddy field during paddy rice growing period was decreased. In addition to the low levels of chemical fertilizer N input and residual mineral N input, the lower level of N mineralization in paddy fields and low N recovery efficiency decreased the amount of N accumulated in aboveground biomass of paddy rice at maturity, resulting in limited rice yields. The amount of mineralized N only correlated with TN (partial correlation analysis). Therefore, in paddy fields with very low N input, the N mineralization in paddy soil during the paddy rice-growing period was the major limiting factor affecting the total yield increases. In addition, a decline in soil fertility can be determined using TN as an indicator. To improve paddy rice yield and avoid soil deterioration, the development and adoption of rational soil management programs are needed. These include input of plant residues, conscientious soil tillage for the maintenance of soil temperature and thickness of the plow layer, and the split application of fertilizer for the improvement of N recovery efficiency. 相似文献
