ROLE OF RICE VOLATILES IN THE FORAGING BEHAVIOUR OF CYRTORHINUS LIVIDIPENNIS REUTER

Abstract Experiments were conducted in laboratory to study the impacts of rice genotypes and nitrogen levels on the preference of the egg predator, Cyrtorhinus lividipennis , for eggs of brown planthopper(BPH), Nilaparvata lugens (Stal), and their relation to the rice volatiles. In two-choice tests, the female predators showed different preference for BPH eggs on different rice genotypes, but not for BPH eggs on rice plants treated with different levels of nitrogen. The olfactory response test revealed that more predator oriented to the odour from healthy rice plants compared with the plain air (control); the predator preferred BPH nymph-damaged plants to healthy plants, and BPH female adult-damaged plants to BPH nymph-damaged plants. The comparative studies between rice genotypes and nitrogen levels indicated that there were obvious differences in attractiveness to the predator between rice genotypes, while there was no significant difference between rice plants treated with different levels of nitrogen. The results showed that rice volatiles played an important role in mediating the foraging behaviour of C. lividipennis . Implications for augmenting the effectiveness of natural enemies by adjusting rice attributes and cultural practices are discussed.     

CH4 emission with differences in atmospheric CO2 enrichment and rice cultivars in a Japanese paddy soil

A pot experiment was conducted to investigate CH₄ emissions from a sandy paddy soil as influenced by rice cultivars and atmospheric CO₂ elevation. The experiment with two CO₂ levels, 370 μL L⁻¹ (ambient) and 570 μL L⁻¹ (elevated), was performed in a climatron, located at the National Institute for Agro‐Environmental Sciences, Tsukuba, Japan. Four rice cultivars were tested in this experiment, including IR65598, IR72, Dular and Koshihikari. Tiller number, root length and grain yield were clearly larger under elevated CO₂ than under ambient CO₂. IR72 and Dular showed significantly higher tiller number, root length and grain yield than Koshihikari and IR65598. Average daily CH₄ fluxes under elevated CO₂ were significantly larger by 10.9–23.8% than those under ambient CO₂, and varied with the cultivars in the sequence Dular ≧ IR72>IR65598 ≧ Koshihikari. Dissolved organic C (DOC) content in the soil was obviously higher under elevated CO₂ than under ambient CO₂ and differed among the cultivars, in the sequence IR72>Dular>Koshihikari>IR65598. The differences in average daily CH₄ fluxes between CO₂ levels and among the cultivars were related to different root exudation as DOC content, root length and tiller number. This study indicated that Koshihikari should be a potential cultivar for mitigating CH₄ emission and simultaneously keeping stable grain yield, because this cultivar emitted lowest CH₄ emission and produced medium grain yield.     

Bumble bee species exhibit divergent responses to urbanisation in a Southern California landscape

1. Bees are ecologically important pollinators that are threatened by disease, habitat degradation, and habitat loss. Bee species that share ecological traits (e.g. body size, diet breadth, and sociality) may often respond similarly to environmental disturbance; however, few studies have examined the extent to which closely related, ecologically similar species exhibit divergent responses to the same forms of disturbance. 2. In the present study, the responses of bumble bees (Apidae: genus Bombus) to urbanization are examined by combining field surveys with the quantification of local‐ and landscape‐level variables using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). During the spring and summer of 2012 and 2013, 57, bumble bees were surveyed in 1‐ha plots in San Diego County, California that spanned a gradient of urbanisation. Species‐level, occurrence (presence/absence) data and logistic regressions were then used to identify determinants of Bombus occurrence across this landscape. 3. Approximately 1000 Bombus individuals belonging to three species were observed: B. californicus Smith, B. melanopygus Cresson, and B. vosnesenskii Radoszkowski. The occurrence of all Bombus species was negatively related to impermeable surface cover within study plots, but species responded uniquely to other plot‐scale variables and exhibited distinctive patterns of scale‐dependency with respect to impermeable surface cover surrounding plots. 4. Urbanisation negatively affected all three focal bumble bee species in this study. Species‐specific responses to plot‐scale and landscape‐scale variables presumably reflect interspecific trait differences (e.g. body size, tongue length, and foraging behaviour). Unique responses to urbanisation caution against pooling species into functional groups based merely on taxonomic relationships or perceived ecological similarities.     

脂氧合酶与猕猴桃果实后熟软化的关系

２０ ℃下贮藏果实的脂氧合酶（ＬＯＸ） 活性随着后熟进程持续上升,其活性与果实硬度的变化呈极显著负相关,油酸、亚油酸和亚麻酸等不饱和脂肪酸的组分比例变化较大,而棕榈酸和硬脂酸等饱和脂肪酸的组分比例变化很小;０ ℃贮藏果实中的ＬＯＸ 活性被强烈抑制,果实后熟软化进程被明显延缓,５ 种脂肪酸组分比例变化均较平稳;外源乙烯处理显著促进了ＬＯＸ 活性的增加,加速了果实后熟软化进程。     

Influences of Ce on the Formation of Chlorophyll-Protein Complexes in Chloroplasts of Cucumber Leaves

It has been proven that the Ce content of cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. ) leaves was enhanced with the increase of CeC13 concentration in Hoagland solution. The Chl a/b ratio of cucumber leaves in the control was the same as that in the treated plant, both being 3.67. However, under lower light intensity, the Chl a/b ratio in leaves of the contral was 2.72 whereas that of the treated leaves was 2.86. It showed that only under lower light intensity Ce could decrease the contents of chlorophyll b in leaves. The authors also evidenced that Ce was able to accelerate the formation of chlorophyll-protein complexes of PS Ⅰ and 110 kD polypeptide and decrease the light harvesting complex protein and 27 kD polypeptide.     

乙酰胆碱酯酶在蚕豆保卫细胞中集中分布

动物细胞中,乙酰胆碱酯酶负责把乙酰胆碱水解为胆碱和乙酸以起到终止信号的作用。蚕豆（ＶｉｃｉａｆａｂａＬ．）保卫细胞原生质体表面具有特异的水解乙酰胆碱的酯酶,光可以激活该酶的活性。组织学定位的结果显示,酶反应产物主要分布于气孔保卫细胞内壁和腹壁的外侧及内壁和腹壁中,表明一种类似于动物突触传递的机制可能存在于气孔保卫细胞和周围细胞之间,即乙酰胆碱发挥作用后由乙酰胆碱酯酶分解以终止其作用;此外开放的气孔周围具有更高的酶活性,说明乙酰胆碱酯酶可通过水解气孔周围的乙酰胆碱而调控气孔运动     

长期不同施肥方式对黄潮土肥力特征的影响

依托黄潮土35 年长期定位试验,以2种土壤物理肥力指标、8种土壤化学肥力指标和5种土壤生物肥力指标进行主成分分析,最后将各主成分得分系统进行聚类分析.结果表明: 不同施肥方式对土壤肥力指标影响显著.施用有机肥处理(M、MN、MNP、MNPK)与NPK处理相比,土壤容重显著降低,而土壤孔隙度、有机质、全氮、碱解氮、全磷、有效磷、微生物生物量和过氧化氢酶、脲酶、碱性磷酸酶活性均显著增加;通过主成分分析可将原15个土壤指标降维,提取出2个主成分,反映了原信息量的85.5%,且无原变量丢失.土壤容重、孔隙度、有机质、全氮、碱解氮、全磷、有效磷、速效钾、微生物生物量、过氧化氢酶、脲酶、碱性磷酸酶、蔗糖酶活性在第1主成分上有较高因子负荷,全钾和pH在第2主成分上有较高因子负荷;以2个主成分得分为新指标进行聚类,得到长期不同施肥方式对黄潮土的培肥效果排序为MNPK＞MNP＞M、MN＞NPK＞N、NP＞CK.可见施用有机肥对黄潮土培肥效果更显著,以有机肥配施氮磷钾化肥方式效果最优.
