NaCl、Na2 SO4 和Na2GO3 胁迫对小麦叶片自由基含量及质膜透性的比较研究

 分别用浓度为25mmol／L、50mmol／L、100 mmol／L和200 MMOL／l的Nacl、Na2SO4和Na2CO3的营养液培养小麦4d,较之不含盐的营养液,其自由基含量上升,产生速率增加,叶片质膜透性增加。不同盐的影响也不同,在低浓度时,NaCl的影响大于Na2SO4,高浓度时,NaCl影响小于Na2CO3,Na2CO3的影响最为显著。实验结果也表现出小麦叶片自由基含量和质膜透性呈现较好的相关性。因此可认为,盐胁迫促使自由基含量增加,自由基通过过氧化作用影响质膜透性,从而影响植物的生长。     

黄河三角洲刺槐白蜡混交对土壤细菌群落结构及多样性的影响

为探讨黄河三角洲刺槐白蜡混交对土壤细菌群落结构及多样性的影响,通过高通量测序技术分析比较了刺槐白蜡混交林及刺槐纯林、白蜡纯林土壤细菌群落结构及多样性。结果表明:(1)混交林与两种纯林土壤细菌群落共36门。酸杆菌门、变形菌门、放线菌门(相对丰度大于10%)为刺槐白蜡混交林与两种纯林土壤中共有的优势菌群;硝化螺旋菌门为刺槐纯林土壤中的优势菌群。不同人工林土壤中各门细菌相对丰度差异显著。(2)混交改变了土壤细菌群落结构,提高了细菌多样性。刺槐白蜡混交林土壤细菌物种数、Chao1指数、Shannon指数分别为1934.5、2629.1、9.1,显著高于两种纯林。(3)相关性分析表明,土壤含水量与放线菌门细菌呈显著正相关;pH与芽单胞菌门细菌呈极显著正相关,与酸杆菌门细菌呈显著负相关。细菌多样性与土壤含水量呈显著正相关,与速效钾、有机质含量呈显著负相关。研究表明,刺槐白蜡混交林土壤细菌群落结构与两种纯林之间有一定差异,多样性差异显著,刺槐白蜡混交改变细菌群落结构,提高细菌多样性。     

林睡鼠幼鼠的活动规律和行为初步观察

本文通过红外线照相的方法,对发育期的林睡鼠幼鼠进行室内活动规律及行为观察,为充分了解林睡鼠越冬前的能量储备形式提供饲养参考。将鼠密度监测仪固定在饲养笼具上方,24h连续拍照,采集和分析6-9月年龄在10周内的幼鼠各种活动数据。结果显示：幼鼠一天中超过70%的时间都在窝内度过,大部分时间都蜷缩成一团少有动作;在窝外活动时间多在玩耍,如攀爬笼架。用于进食和饮水的时间不超过全天的2%。林睡鼠幼鼠主要活动时间在21:00-07:00,活动高峰在21:00-03:00之间。幼鼠出生3周后开始出窝活动,哺乳期30d后开始采食,5周后幼鼠有交配玩耍行为。随着日龄的增长,活动高峰从23：00提前到21：00,活动时间也逐渐延长,但9周龄后活动时间逐渐缩短,幼鼠的饮水进食时间与其活动的时间长短较为一致。10周体重可达成年体重的70%。研究表明,林睡鼠在夏秋季节基本是昼伏夜出动物。光照是影响其在外活动的重要因素之一。幼鼠6周后所需的饲料和水量大于成年林睡鼠,在此期间要注意饲料和水的补充。

THE EVOLUTION AND SYSTEMATICS OF BEE-EATERS (MEROPIDAE)

Behavioural and ecological characters are used in addition to structural ones in considering the systematics of the Meropidae. The two species of Nyctyornis are the most primitive extant forms. Meropogon is retained as a monotypic genus for forsteni, and all other bee-eaters are placed in the single genus Merops, being ecologically and morphologically rather uniform except in details of wing and tail structure, which should be considered only of specific importance. M. breweri and M. oreobates are thought to be secondarily rather than primarily forest species. With the submergence of Aerops and Melittophagus, and the monotypic genera Bombylonax and Dicrocercus, which are considered to be closely related to the pusillus species-group, Merops is enlarged to 21 species which are uniform except in tail-shape, wing formula and throat feather structure. These characters are of specific importance only, and have a mosaic distribution within the genus. Their use in the definition of the formerly recognized genera results in an artificial classification. The proposed delimitation of species-groups within Merops differs somewhat from previous arrangements, and affinities argued in the text are summarized in Fig. 15, which shows superspecies and species-groups. The species recognized are formally tabulated below. The Meropidae probably originated in southeast Asian forest and spread through former forest to Africa. Only in Africa was the open-country environment invaded, and speciation in the savanna was in two main directions, producing small sedentary and large migratory species. Representatives of both types returned to Asia in open country. From the present distribution of species it is inferred that speciation has proceeded under the main influences of (1) isolation of a population and its habitat in Pleistocene Africa and (2) isolation of migrants away from their breeding range. The distributions of species with wide or rather limited ranges are discussed in terms of physiological adaptation and ecological competition. Opinion has not been expressed on the validity of subspecies, which have been discussed only in delimiting controversial species. In the following summary, the only subspecies named are those affected by changes from Peters' scheme (cf. Table 1). Superspecies are bracketed. Nyctyornis amicta N. athertoni Meropogon forsteni Merops guloris M. mülleri M. bulocki M. bullockoides M. pusillus M. variegatus (?loringi, oariegatus, lafresnayii, bangweoloensis) M. oreobates M. hirundineus M. breweri M. revoilii M. albicollis M. orientalis M. boehmi M. viridis M. superciliosus (persicus, chrysocercus, superciliosus) M. philippinus (philippinus, salvadorii) M. ornatus M. apiaster M. leschenaulti M. malimbicus M. nubicus (nubicus, nubicoides)     

Is science metaphysically neutral?

This paper challenges the claim that science is metaphysically neutral upheld by contenders of the separation of peacefully co-existent science and religion and by evolutionary theists. True, naturalistic metaphysical claims can neither be refuted nor proved and are thus distinct from empirical hypotheses. However, metaphysical assumptions not only regulate the theoretical and empirical study of nature, but are increasingly supported by the growing empirical body of science. This historically evolving interaction has contributed to the development of a naturalistic worldview that renounces the necessity of a transcendent god and of purposeful design. The thesis presented here differs not only from the claims of the "separatists" and of evolutionary theists. In pointing to the metaphysical aspects of science, I also criticize the failure of some evolutionary naturalists to distinguish between empirical and metaphysical contentions. Most important, based on the examination of science suggested here, creationists' false accusation that science is only a naturalistic dogma is refuted. Finally, the difficulties involved in the position endorsed here for the public support of evolution are acknowledged, taking into account the high religious profile of the American society and the social and political context in the US and in other countries.     

FSH对腔前卵泡生长发育的影响

随着腔前卵泡体外培养体系的发展,对其影响因子的研究也逐渐深入,促性腺激素(FSH)在卵泡的生长和发育过程中发挥了重要的作用。本实验方法是以昆明小鼠为模型,机械分离并选择120~140μm的腔前卵泡,以添加10%血清和1%ITS的α-MEM为基础培养,分为正常添加FSH和不添加FSH组,以及在培养的0 d、2 d、4 d、6d、8 d添加FSH(100 mIU/ml)组,探讨腔前卵泡的生长发育情况。结果表明:正常添加组其卵泡的存活率、出腔率、GVBD率和2-cell胚胎率(78.7%、55.0%、35.0%和7.5%)显著高于培养液中未添加FSH的结果(分别为13.7%、8.8%、6.3%和0)(P<0.05);6 d之前添加FSH的培养组腔前卵泡能够正常生长和发育;2~4 d添加FSH可能更利于卵母细胞的成熟,以及E2的产生依赖于FSH的存在。     

Foliar modifications induced by inhibition of polar transport of auxin

The effects of auxin polar transport inhibitors,9-hydroxy-fluorene-9-carboxylic acid (HFCA);2,3,5-triiodobenzoic acid(TIBA) and trans-cinnamic acid (CA) on leaf pattern formation were investigated with shoots formed from cultured leaf explants of tobacco and cultured pedicel explants of Orychophragmus violaceus,and the seedlings of tobacco and Brassica chinensis,Although the effective concentration varies with the inhibitors used,all of the inhibitors induced the formation of trumpet-shaped and/or fused leaves.The frequency of trumpet-shaped leaf formation was related to the concentration of inhibitors in the medium.Histological observation of tobacco seedlings showed that there was only one main vascular bundle and several minor vascular bundles in normal leaves of the control,but there were several vascular bundles of more or less the same size in the trumpet-shaped leaves of treated ones.These results indicated that auxin polar transport played an important role on bilateral symmetry of leaf growth.
