两种亚热带榕属乔木植冠损伤后的位置依赖性枝发生

三峡库区需要大量植株用于三峡工程所涉及的诸多建设(如铁路、公路、建筑)之后的植被恢复和绿化。由于具有优美树冠和耐瘠薄土壤的能力,榕(Ficus microcarpa L.)和黄桷树(F. virens Ait. var. sublanceolata (Miq.) Cornor)在三峡库区作为绿化和行道树木大量栽植。在三峡库区,这两种树种苗木的培育主要通过切枝扦插的方式进行。大量切枝损伤植株植冠并且使叶组织数量减少,对植株生长有很大影响。植株生长与植株的枝发生格局有很大关系,为明确植冠损伤对植株生长的可能影响,对榕和黄桷树植冠损伤后的枝发生进行了研究。实验发现,切枝造成的植冠损伤对榕和黄桷树植株侧枝上的枝发生没有影响,不同损伤强度之间和不同损伤发生时间之间都不存在明显的差异。但是,植冠损伤后,榕和黄桷树植株主茎上的枝发生是位置依赖性的。植冠损伤不影响榕和黄桷树植株损伤处理后新生主茎段和具侧枝主茎段上的枝发生,却促进了损伤处理后裸露主茎段上的枝发生,并且裸露主茎段上枝发生的数量和密度随植冠损伤强度的升高而增大。此外,实验结果表明, 秋季植冠损伤植株裸露主茎段上的枝发生要高于春季植冠损伤植株裸露主茎段上的枝发生; 在榕和黄桷树的枝发生中,仅有裸露主茎段上增强的枝发生会促进植冠损伤植株对叶组织的生物量投     

The impacts of Macleaya cordata extract and naringin inclusion in post-weaning piglet diets on performance,nutrient digestibility and intestinal histomorphology

The current study investigated the impacts of supplementation of post-weaning piglet diets with Macleaya cordata extract (MCE) and naringin (NAR) on performance, nutrient digestibility and intestinal histomorphology. Post-weaning crossbred piglets (28 males and 28 females; age at weaning 25 d) were randomly allotted to 28 pens. The experiment consisted of a control and three treatment groups (MCE60, MCE120 and NAR). For diets MCE60 and MCE120, the control diet was supplemented with 60 and 120 mg Sangrovit® Extra (a standardised premixture of MCE) per kg diet, respectively. Group NAR received 50 mg pure NAR per kg diet. The experiment lasted 42 d (d 25 – 66 of age). At d 66, apparent pre-caecal digestibility (APD) of nutrients was determined and histomorphological changes in mid-jejunum were evaluated. Feeding diets MCE120 and NAR improved body weight gain and feed conversion ratio of piglets. After feeding diets MCE120 and NAR, the APD of phosphorus and different single and total amino acids were greater than after feeding the control diet. The present data demonstrated that supplementation of post-weaning piglet diets with 120 mg MCE or 50 mg NAR per kg diet could improve growth performance and nutrient digestibility and had no impact on histomorphological variables in the jejunum. These findings indicate the potential of these products to be used as growth promoters in pig nutrition.     

不同水分条件对人参榕生长和生理的影响

以3年生人参榕(Ficus microcarpa)为试材,采用盆栽调控水分的方法,研究5种不同的水分处理(基质最大含水量的90%～100%,70%～80%,50%～60%,30% ～ 40%和10%～20%)对人参榕生长和生理的影响,为栽培生产提供理论依据.结果表明:随着浇水量的减少,人参榕的株高、冠幅、块根增量均显著下降(P＜0.05);人参榕叶片的超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性显著增高(P＜0.05),细胞膜相对透性显著增强,脯氨酸和丙二醛(MDA)含量也显著增加;叶片净光合速率(Pn)和蒸腾速率(Tr)呈随浇水量的减少而显著降低;但叶片水分利用效率(WUE)呈显著增加趋势;各处理的叶片初始荧光(F0)和最大光量子效率(Fv/Fm)差异不显著.在各处理中,70%～80%的最大基质含水量的处理,其人参榕叶片的细胞膜相对透性最低,保护酶活性最弱,脯氨酸和丙二醛含量最低,净光合速率高,从而导致了人参榕具有生长最快、株高、冠幅和最大块根直径增量最大的特点.可见,70%～80%的最大基质含水量为是人参榕种植效果最好的水分管理模式.     

Ficuschlorins A - D, lactone Chlorins from the leaves of ficus microcarpa

Four new lactone chlorins, ficuschlorins A – D ( 1 – 4 , resp.), and six known pheophytins were isolated from the leaves of Ficus microcarpa. The structures of these compounds were determined by 1D‐ and 2D‐NMR spectroscopy, and other techniques. New natural pheophytins were rarely obtained. In the past ten years, only three new pheophytins were isolated from natural sources.     

Chemical composition of volatiles from the syconia of Ficus microcarpa and host recognition behavior of pollinating fig wasps北大核心CSCD

Aims: Chemical communication plays a key role in host plant recognition of pollinators. There are two recognized types of chemical communication between syconia and their pollinating fig wasps: one is "generalization", of which the wasps respond to the relative ratio of multiple compounds, and the other is "specialization", of which the key signal is a single uncommon, possibly unique, compound. The aims of this study were to identify the chemical composition of volatiles from the syconia of Ficus microcarpa at different developmental phases, and to determine if the signaling between F. microcarpa and its pollinating fig wasp, Eupristina verticillata, is of generalized type, or of specialized type. Methods: The volatiles from syconia of F. microcarpa were extracted using solid-phase micro extraction (SPME) at different developmental phases (pre-female, female (before and after pollination), interfloral, male and postfloral phases) and the chemical compounds were identified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS). We then tested the behavioral responses of E. verticillata to fresh syconia at different developmental phases using two-choice olfactometers. Important findings: There were 21 volatile compounds identified from the syconia at different developmental phases, which were mainly fatty acid derivatives, terpenoids and aromatic compounds. The components of the volatiles apparently differed among the developmental stages. The contents of terpenoids declined, but the contents of fatty acid derivatives increased, from before the pollination to after the pollination. Especially, the characteristic compounds of 2-heptanone and 3-octanone before the pollination disappeared, D-limonene decreased after the pollination, but copanene, cyclohexane and 2-hexenal increased. The results of the two-choice olfactometer experiment showed that the pollinating fig wasps had higher selection ratio to chemicals found in the female phase syconia than those in other phases; whereas the volatile compounds from the male phase syconia had the function pushing the pollinating fig wasps to leave the natal syconia so that there existed the "push-pull" responses by fig wasps to volatiles released by their host syconia. We conclude that there are multiple chemical compounds playing the roles in host recognition of pollinating fig wasp E. verticillata. The mutualistic relationship between F. microcarpa and E. verticillata is maintained by the chemical communication of "generalization" strategy.

小叶榕不同提取物的主要药效学研究

为研究小叶榕不同提取部位的镇咳、抗炎作用,采用氨水致咳小鼠动物模型、枸橼酸致咳豚鼠动物模型来评价小叶榕不同提取部位的镇咳作用;采用二甲苯滴耳廓致肿胀的小鼠动物模型、大鼠棉球肉芽肿动物模型来评价小叶榕不同提取部位的抗炎作用。结果表明:小叶榕醇沉不溶物能延长小鼠和豚鼠的咳嗽潜伏期,但不能减少咳嗽次数,小叶榕水提物、水提醇沉溶解物、大孔吸附树脂吸附洗脱物能延长小鼠和豚鼠的咳嗽潜伏期,并能减少咳嗽次数,其中水提醇沉溶解物镇咳作用最强;小叶榕醇沉不溶物不能减轻二甲苯引起的小鼠耳廓肿胀的程度,能减轻大鼠棉球肉芽肿足跖肿胀的程度,但效果不明显,小叶榕水提物、水提醇沉溶解物、大孔吸附树脂吸附洗脱物均能明显减轻二甲苯引起的小鼠耳廓肿胀的程度,并能明显减轻大鼠棉球肉芽肿足跖肿胀的程度。这表明国产小叶榕不同提取部位具有明显的镇咳、抗炎作用。
