水淹频率变化对鄱阳湖增强型植被指数的影响

水淹状况是湿地植被动态的重要影响因素。该研究基于谷歌地球引擎(GEE)平台, 利用2000-03-01至2020-02-29所有覆盖研究区域的MODIS遥感影像数据, 分析20年间水淹频率(IF)、增强型植被指数(EVI)的时空变化以及湿地植被对IF变化的响应, 得出以下结论: (1) 20年来鄱阳湖水文节律发生了明显改变, 高IF (IF > 75%)水域面积呈现下降趋势, 从2000年1 435.3 km²下降至2019年的510.25 km², 降幅为64.45%; (2)区域平均EVI呈显著上升趋势, 植被扩张主要集中在中部IF下降区域; (3)分析不同总水淹频率区域中平均EVI年际变化, 发现EVI与水淹状况的变化趋势相似, 2009年之后鄱阳湖水域面积萎缩趋势缓解, EVI增长速度出现下降; (4)鄱阳湖湿地植被主要沿水域面积萎缩方向扩张, 基于像元统计20年间IF与EVI的变化趋势, 发现它们在空间分布上高度吻合, 这种空间异质性进一步证实水淹状况起到调节植被动态变化的作用。

Global transcriptional response of pig brain and lung to natural infection by Pseudorabies virus

Background  

Pseudorabies virus (PRV) is an alphaherpesviruses whose native host is pig. PRV infection mainly causes signs of central nervous system disorder in young pigs, and respiratory system diseases in the adult.     

Variation in the ribosomal internal transcribed spacers (ITS1 and ITS2) among eight taxa of the Mimulus guttatus species complex

The internal transcribed spacer region (ITS1 and ITS2) of the 18S-25S nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence and the intervening 5.8S region were sequenced from three individuals in each of eight taxa of the Mimulus guttatus species complex. Three discrete variants, or "types," of ITS sequences were found, among which 30%-40% of sites differed, compared with 1%-2% within types. Dot plots indicate that these types were not related by conspicuous rearrangements or inversions. More than one ITS type was often found in the same taxon, and two of three ITS types span species boundaries, indicating their presence prior to speciation. These ITS sequences showed essentially no positional homology with the nearest sequenced relative, tomato. In contrast, the 5.8S region was relatively unvaried, with 8 of 162 sites varied in the sample among all eight taxa. The phylogeny inferred by the most common ITS sequence type, rooted by the two other ITS types, agreed with isozymes in showing the distinctness of M. nudatus, M. laciniatus, and M. tilingii from the other five taxa.

Nodulation competitiveness of nodule bacteria: Genetic control and adaptive significance: Review

The most recent data on the system of cmp (competitiveness) genes that determine the nodulation competitiveness of rhizobial strains, i.e., the ability to compete for nodule formation in leguminous plants, is analyzed. Three genetic approaches for the construction of economically valuable strains of rhizobia are proposed: the amplification of positive regulators of competitiveness, the inactivation of the negative regulators of this trait, and the introduction of efficient competitiveness factors into strains capable of active nitrogen fixation.     

Macro- and microevolution of bacteria in symbiotic systems

Using the examples of diverse interactions among prokaryotes and eukaryotes, the relationships between molecular and population mechanisms of evolution of symbiotic bacteria are addressed. Their circulation in host-environment systems activates microevolutionary factors that direct combinative or reductive genome evolution in facultative, ecologically obligatory, and genetically obligatory symbioses. Due to intense systemic intra-genome rearrangements and horizontal gene transfer, two types of gene systems evolve in these bacteria: (1) controlling the pathogenesis-like processes of host recognition and penetration and (2) responsible for mutualistic interactions that are related to nitrogen fixation and its transfer to the host. The evolution of gene systems of type 1 is directed by individual (Darwinian, frequency-dependent) selection, which is responsible for gene-for-gene interactions between the partners. In the evolution of the type 2 systems, group (interdeme, kin) selection plays the key role, being responsible for the development of bacterial traits beneficial for the host. Using the legume--rhizobia symbiosis as an example, it is shown that evolution of mutualism can be described in terms of biological altruism, whose regularities are common for intraspecific and interspecific relationships. Macroevolutionary rearrangements of bacterial genomes result from the structural changes in their populations, wherein various selection modes are combined with stochastic processes (genetic drift, population waves) induced in the symbiotic systems.     

益生菌对调节脑梗死后大鼠运动功能的机制研究

探讨在脑梗死后康复期使用益生菌治疗促进大鼠运动功能恢复的机制。

成年雄性SPF级7～8周龄Wistar大鼠,体重200～250 g,共35只。25只大鼠颅内注射内皮素制作脑缺血模型,模型制作后5只大鼠死亡,剩余20只大鼠按照随机数表法分为缺血组（ISC组）和缺血+益生菌组（ISC+PB组）,每组10只。另外10只大鼠作为假手术组（SHAM组）。SHAM组大鼠仅使用生理盐水按照上述造模流程进行。各组均喂食普通大鼠饲料。ISC+PB组大鼠第7天开始使用益生菌VSL#3溶液进行灌胃,0.25 mL/(只•d)。采用原位末端转移酶标记（TdT-mediated dUTP nick-end labeling,TUNEL）凋亡试剂盒检测凋亡细胞。采用蛋白质免疫印迹法检测各组大鼠海马与梗死周边皮层脑源性神经营养因子（brain derived neurotrophic factor,BDNF）的蛋白水平变化。使用梯形平衡木测试大鼠的肢体运动功能。

ISC组大鼠TUNEL阳性细胞数量较SHAM组显著增多（t=3.278,P=0.016）,ISC+PB组大鼠的TUNEL阳性细胞数量低于ISC组（t=2.721,P=0.037）。ISC组大鼠海马与梗死周边BDNF蛋白表达水平高于SHAM组（t=2.012,P=0.032）,ISC+PB组大鼠海马与梗死周边皮层BDNF水平较ISC组进一步提高（t=1.892,P=0.021）。梯形平衡木行走实验显示ISC组大鼠产生明显的运动功能损伤（t=3.425,P=0.041）,而ISC+PB组错误率低于ISC组（t=4.131,P=0.024）。

脑梗死后益生菌通过调控BDNF水平,抑制细胞凋亡,改善运动功能。
