The transfer of nuclei from one cell to another provides a powerful tool for studying the interactions between the cytoplasm of one cell and the nucleus of another. This study was designed to examine the ability of the bovine metaphase oocyte cytoplasm to support mitotic cell cycles under the direction of differentiated somatic cell nuclei of various mammalian species. Skin fibroblast cells from cows, sheep, pigs, monkeys, and rats were used as sources of donor nuclei. Nuclear transfer units produced by fusion of enucleated bovine oocytes and individual fibroblasts from all species examined underwent transition to interphase accompanied by nuclear swelling, further progression through the cell cycle, and completion of the first mitosis. Regardless of the species of donor fibroblasts used, some cleaving units progressed further and developed to advanced stages, as evidenced by continuation of cell proliferation and formation of a blastocoele cavity at the time appropriate for the donor fibroblast species. Although no pregnancies have been carried to term after transfer of embryos into surrogate animals, these observations suggest that mechanisms regulating early embryonic development may be conserved among mammalian species and that bovine oocyte cytoplasm can support the introduced differentiated nucleus regardless of chromosome number, species, or age of the donor fibroblast. 相似文献

Afforestation with short‐rotation coppice (SRC) willow plantations for the purpose of producing bioenergy feedstock was contemplated as one potential climate change mitigation option. The objectives of this study were to assess the magnitude of this mitigation potential by addressing: (i) the land area potentially available for SRC systems in the province of Saskatchewan, Canada; (ii) the potential biomass yields of SRC plantations; and (iii) the carbon implications from such a large‐scale afforestation program. Digital soils and land‐use data were used to identify, map, and group into clusters of similar polygons 2.12 million hectares (Mha) of agriculturally marginal land that was potentially suitable for willow in the Boreal Plains and Prairies ecozones in Saskatchewan. The Physiological Principles in Predicting Growth (3PG) model was calibrated with data from SRC experiments in Saskatchewan, to quantify potential willow biomass yields, and the Carbon Budget Model of the Canadian Forest Sector (CBM‐CFS3), was used to simulate stand and landscape‐level C fluxes and stocks. Short‐rotation willow plantations managed in 3 year rotations for seven consecutive harvests (21 years) after coppicing at Year 1 produced about 12 Mg ha?1 yr?1 biomass. The more significant contribution to the C cycle was the cumulative harvest. After 44 years, the potential average cumulative harvested biomass C in the Prairies was 244 Mg C ha?1 (5.5 Mg C ha?1 yr?1) about 20% higher than the average for the Boreal Plains, 203 Mg C ha?1 (4.6 Mg C ha?1 yr?1). This analysis did not consider afforestation costs, rate of establishment of willow plantations, and other constraints, such as drought and disease effects on biomass yield. The results must therefore be interpreted as a biophysical mitigation potential with the technical and economic potential being both lower than our estimates. Nevertheless, short‐rotation bioenergy plantations offer one potential mitigation option to reduce the rate of CO2 accumulation in the earth's atmosphere and further research is needed to operationalise such a mitigation effort. 相似文献

AbstractVolatile organic compounds (VOCs) are some of the most important pollutants that have adverse effects on human health. In this study, simultaneous indoor and outdoor air samples were collected from four types of microenvironments (restaurants, photocopy centers, dry cleaners, and auto paint shops) in Kocaeli, Turkey in both winter and summer. Twenty-four VOCs were detected using gas chromatography and a flame ionization detector. The aim of the study was to determine the VOC concentrations in various workplaces and investigate associated health risks. Results show that the highest mean total VOC concentrations are in auto paint shops (14,066 µg/m3 in winter, 3441 µg/m3 in summer) followed by dry cleaners, restaurants, and photocopy centers. Total cancer risk was approximately 310 times greater than the acceptable limit in auto paint shops, 44 times greater in restaurants, 42 times greater in dry cleaners, and 17 times greater in photocopy centers. Total hazard quotients were also greater than the acceptable limit in all microenvironments. 相似文献
