东北地区6所高校校园种子植物属级相似性分析

校园植物能反映校园植物多样性水平。为了研究东北地区高校校园种子植物属组成的相似性,本研究以沈阳农业大学等6所位于东北地区的高校中的校园种子植物为研究对象,并选取北方极为常见的两个科：菊科（Asteraceae）和蔷薇科（Rosaceae）,研究其属组成的差异性与相似性。结果表明,6所高校校园种子植物属间相似性较高。菊科属的组成在各高校间差异性显著,蔷薇科属的组成在各高校相似性高。校园植物种类的多样性与差异性与校园面积、校园所处位置相关。本研究旨在为东北乃至其他地区高校校园生物多样性的进一步研究和其他高校校园植物调查提供基础。

生物柴油耦联丙酮丁醇发酵的初步研究

以4种生物柴油(原料为地沟油、菜籽油、棕榈油和废肯德基油)作为萃取剂,开展了丙酮丁醇静态萃取发酵。通过分析发酵过程中的产气量及发酵40 h后油水两相中的溶剂浓度,发现生物柴油对丙丁梭菌有毒性。另外,静置条件下丁醇在不同油水两相中的液液平衡系数大致相同。在发酵24 h时加入棕榈生物柴油(油水体积比为0.4∶1),丁醇发酵强度达到最大值0.213 g.(L.h)-1、比对照(传统发酵)提高10.9%,且生物柴油中的丁醇质量浓度达到6.44 g.L-1。     

Role of terpenes from aphid-infested potato on searching and oviposition behavior of Episyrphus balteatus

To cope with pathogen and insect attacks, plants develop different mechanisms of defence, in both direct （physical and chemical） and indirect ways （attractive volatiles to entomophagous beneficials）. Plants are then able to express traits that facilitate ＂top-down＂ control of pests by attracting herbivore predators. Here we investigate the indirect defence mechanism of potato plants by analyzing the volatile patterns of both healthy and aphid- infested plants. Important changes in the emitted terpene pattern by the Myzus persicae infested host plant were observed. Using Solid Phase MicroExtraction （SPME） and GC-MS, the （E）-fl-farnesene （EBF） appeared to be emitted by aphid-infested potato and not by healthy plants. To assess the infochemical role of these volatile releases after aphid damage on the aphidophagous predators Episyrphus balteams, the hoverfly foraging behavior was assessed using the Observer 5.0 software （Noldus, Wageningen, The Netherlands）. Aphidfree potato plants were also used as a control volatile source in the predator behavioral study. While aphid-infested plants induced efficient searching and acceptation behaviors leading to egg-laying, no kairomonal effect of healthy potato plants was observed, leading to longer immobility durations and shorter searching periods in the net cage. High oviposition rate of E. balteatus was observed when aphid-infested potato was used （mean of 48.9 eggs per laying and per female）. On the other hand, no egg was produced by the hoverfly on healthy aphid-free plants. The E. balteatus foraging and reproductive behaviors according to the volatile emission from aphid-infested plants are discussed in relation to the potential use of active infochemical molecules in integrated aphid pest management.     

内蒙古地区刺叶柄棘豆(Oxytropis aciphylla Ledeb.)种群遗传多样性分析

用ISSR分子标记对内蒙古地区刺叶柄棘豆(Oxytorpis aciphylla Ledeb.) 5个地理种群进行了种群遗传多样性分析。结果表明：刺叶柄棘豆种群具有较高的遗传多样性,11个ISSR引物扩增出215条带,总的多态位点百分率为98.14%,Shannon多样性指数I=0.2108,Nei基因多样性指数 H=0.341 6,种内总基因多样性(H_t) 为0.2108,种群内基因多样性(H_s)为0.160 4, 大部分遗传变异(76.11%)的遗传变异存在于种群内, 23.89%的遗传变异存在于种群间。遗传分化系数(Gst)为0.238 9,基因流(Nm)为1.592 9。5个居群间已有遗传分化趋势,遗传漂变不会引起遗传分化。UPGMA遗传距离聚类结果表明, 5个地理种群中,植被类型为荒漠草原的4个种群之间遗传距离较近,与1个荒漠种群距离较远。     

Analysis of forestry impacts and biodiversity in two Pyrenean forests through a comparison of moth communities （Lepidoptera, Heterocera）

We have compared the biodiversity variations in moth communities between unmanaged forests and commercial forests in a mountainous environment （Pyrenees France）. The aim was to evaluate the impact of forestry activities on moth diversity. The data collected from the insects were analysed with a Bayesian specific similarity index （noted SSP index） and by statistical biodiversity indexes comparison. It was seen that diversity and richness were decreased in the plantation compared to the unmanaged forest. Interestingly, the composition of the communities of moths was shown to be not only related to the presence/absence of host plants, but also to be in relation with changes in the differences in forest architecture （i.e. the relative coverage by the different vegetation levels）. However, the moth community in the commercial forest still has a high capacity to converge with the moth community present in more natural forests. We report here a list of 177 species of moths, providing information on the distribution of some uncommon species, poorly studied as yet in the Pyrenees.     

生物经济时代云南的定位

云南资源的特点是品种多、数量少,具有共生性。例如,在三江并流地区既有丰富的地下有色金属矿产资源,又有地面丰富的野生生物种质资源,还有奔腾的水资源。这些资源在同一个时空中存在,如何确定开发的时序是一个战略问题,最近有的科学家提出要尽快开发三并并流地区的地下矿产资源,有的工程技术人员提出要尽快开发三江并流地区的水电资源,而这一地区又是目前地球生物多样性得以保存的一个非常宝贵的地区。如何开发这些资源,如何平衡各种利益关系,特别是如何能体现国家和民族的长远利益,这是决策者必须考虑的问题。

生物产业的来龙去脉

现代生物技术的产生和发展生物技术这个词最初是由一位匈牙利工程师卡尔·弗雷克于1917年提出的。但是他提出的生物技术这一名词的涵义是指用甜菜作为饲料进行大规模养猪,即利用生物将原材料转变为产品。实际上,生物技术的发展和应用可以追溯到1000多年以前,而人类有意识地利
