增密减氮对东北水稻产量、氮肥利用效率及温室效应的影响

水稻生产正向资源节约和环境友好的方向转型,常规高产稻作技术亟待创新.本研究以粳稻辽星1号为试材,在2012、2013年研究密度增加、基蘖肥减少、穗肥稳定的“增密减氮”栽培模式对东北水稻产量和氮肥利用效率及温室效应的影响.结果表明： 与常规高产栽培模式相比,在基本苗增加33.3%和基蘖肥施氮量减少20.0%的条件下,氮肥农学效率和氮肥偏生产力两年平均分别提高49.6%(P<0.05)和20.4%(P<0.05),单位面积和单位产量的温室效应两年平均分别下降9.9%和12.7%(P<0.05).虽然水稻有效穗数和总生物量下降,但结实率和收获指数提高,所以产量基本稳定甚至提高.增密减氮降低了土壤NH₄⁺-N和NO₃^--N浓度,提高了氮素回收效率.表明适度增密减氮可兼顾水稻高产、氮肥高效利用和温室气体减排.     

旱作小麦覆膜穴播栽培综合效应

缺水、干旱是制约宁南山区农业生产发展,特别是限制旱作农田生产力水平提高的首要问题。小麦是宁南山区第一大作物,其中,旱作种植约占９０％。近年来,利于提高旱作小麦抗旱、节水性能的品种选用和栽培技术研究没有大的突破,使其生产出现了较长时期的徘徊局面。因此,对旱作小麦从农业技术和农水结合入手,找出一条投资少、见效快、节水、抗旱、增产、增效的新出路,已明显摆在我们面前。宁南山区春、夏季气温分布特征及存在于７月份的热季、热干风天气过程,形成了小麦出苗期长,分蘖期、幼穗分化期、籽粒灌浆期短的“一长三短”生育…     

光照强度及栽培基质对秋海棠新品种‘宁明银’生长的影响

秋海棠是世界著名的观赏植物,不同种类和品种对栽培基质、光照、温度和湿度等生长环境条件的要求不同。‘宁明银’秋海棠是最近培育出的新品种,具有很高的观赏价值和市场潜力,但其栽培适宜条件还不清楚。为了摸索该品种的最佳栽培基质和光照条件,该研究利用四种光强(遮光45%、60%、75%、90%)和四种无土栽培基质(泥炭∶珍珠岩=1∶1;泥炭∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1;腐叶土∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1;玉米秆∶珍珠岩∶松树皮=1∶1∶1)在上海辰山植物园栽培大棚中开展盆栽试验,比较分析‘宁明银’秋海棠的生长表现。结果表明:在遮光45%条件下,腐叶土、珍珠岩、松树皮同等比例混合的栽培基质中,‘宁明银’秋海棠的叶片数、最大叶面积、地上部分鲜重与干重、地下部分干重均表现出最大值,且该条件下植株的相对含水量和根冠比最小,相对叶绿素含量也最高。因此,盆栽‘宁明银’秋海棠的最佳无土栽培条件为腐叶土、珍珠岩、松树皮等比例混合栽培基质和45%遮光,利用此条件可指导‘宁明银’秋海棠的商品化盆栽生产。     

Trafficking of vesicular neurotransmitter transporters

Vesicular neurotransmitter transporters are required for the storage of all classical and amino acid neurotransmitters in secretory vesicles. Transporter expression can influence neurotransmitter storage and release, and trafficking targets the transporters to different types of secretory vesicles. Vesicular transporters traffic to synaptic vesicles (SVs) as well as large dense core vesicles and are recycled to SVs at the nerve terminal. Some of the intrinsic signals for these trafficking events have been defined and include a dileucine motif present in multiple transporter subtypes, an acidic cluster in the neural isoform of the vesicular monoamine transporter (VMAT) 2 and a polyproline motif in the vesicular glutamate transporter (VGLUT) 1. The sorting of VMAT2 and the vesicular acetylcholine transporter to secretory vesicles is regulated by phosphorylation. In addition, VGLUT1 uses alternative endocytic pathways for recycling back to SVs following exocytosis. Regulation of these sorting events has the potential to influence synaptic transmission and behavior.     

Toxoplasma gondii uses unusual sorting mechanisms to deliver transmembrane proteins into the host-cell vacuole

A critical step in infection by the apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii is the formation of a membrane-bound compartment within which the parasite proliferates. This process relies on a set of secretory organelles that discharge their contents into the host cell upon invasion. Among these organelles, the dense granules are specialized in the export of transmembrane (TM) GRA proteins, which are major components of the mature parasitophorous vacuole (PV) membrane. How eukaryotic pathogens export and sort membrane-bound proteins destined for the host cell is still poorly understood at the mechanistic level. In this study, we show that soluble trafficking of the PV-targeted GRA5 TM protein is parasite specific: when expressed in mammalian cells, GRA5 is targeted to the plasma membrane and behaves as an integral membrane protein with a type I toplogy. We also demonstrate the dual role of the GRA5 N-terminal ectodomain, which is sufficient to prevent membrane integration within the parasite and is essential for both sorting and post-secretory membrane insertion into the vacuolar membrane. These results contrast with the general rule that states that information contained within the cytoplasmic tail and/or the TM domain of integral membrane proteins dictates their cellular localization. They also highlight the diversity of sorting mechanisms that leads to the specialization of secretory processes uniquely adapted to intracellular parasitism.     

不同种植模式对烤烟根系和叶片衰老特性的影响

以烤烟品种K326为试材,采用大田试验研究了广东南雄地区不同种植模式（单行种植+前期垄体覆盖地膜、单行种植+前期垄体覆盖地膜+后期垄体覆盖稻草、双行凹垄种植+前期垄体覆盖地膜和双行凹垄种植+前期垄体覆盖地膜+后期垄体覆盖稻草）对烤烟根系和叶片衰老特性,以及烤后烟叶经济性状的影响.结果表明：与其他种植模式相比,双行凹垄种植+前期垄体覆盖地膜+后期垄体覆盖稻草处理显著促进了各时期烤烟根系生长,根系活力提高;叶片叶绿素含量和保护酶(SOD、POD)活性均较高,而MDA含量较低,烤后烟叶的产量、产值、均价和上等烟比例等经济性状均显著高于其他处理.双行凹垄种植+前期垄体覆盖地膜+后期垄体覆盖稻草处理可以改善烤烟根系和叶片衰老特性,提高烤后烟叶经济性状,是广东南雄地区优质烟叶生产的有效种植模式.     

Crop planting dates: an analysis of global patterns

Aim To assemble a data set of global crop planting and harvesting dates for 19 major crops, explore spatial relationships between planting date and climate for two of them, and compare our analysis with a review of the literature on factors that drive decisions on planting dates. Location Global. Methods We digitized and georeferenced existing data on crop planting and harvesting dates from six sources. We then examined relationships between planting dates and temperature, precipitation and potential evapotranspiration using 30‐year average climatologies from the Climatic Research Unit, University of East Anglia (CRU CL 2.0). Results We present global planting date patterns for maize, spring wheat and winter wheat (our full, publicly available data set contains planting and harvesting dates for 19 major crops). Maize planting in the northern mid‐latitudes generally occurs in April and May. Daily average air temperatures are usually c. 12–17 °C at the time of maize planting in these regions, although soil moisture often determines planting date more directly than does temperature. Maize planting dates vary more widely in tropical regions. Spring wheat is usually planted at cooler temperatures than maize, between c. 8 and 14 °C in temperate regions. Winter wheat is generally planted in September and October in the northern mid‐latitudes. Main conclusions In temperate regions, spatial patterns of maize and spring wheat planting dates can be predicted reasonably well by assuming a fixed temperature at planting. However, planting dates in lower latitudes and planting dates of winter wheat are more difficult to predict from climate alone. In part this is because planting dates may be chosen to ensure a favourable climate during a critical growth stage, such as flowering, rather than to ensure an optimal climate early in the crop's growth. The lack of predictability is also due to the pervasive influence of technological and socio‐economic factors on planting dates.     

栽培方式对杜仲皮次生代谢物含量的影响

采用叶林和乔林两种栽培模式对杜仲定向培育,并分别对杜仲皮次生代谢物含量进行了测定.结果表明:在不同的栽培模式下,杜仲皮中次生代谢物的含量存在差异,杜仲醇和杜仲胶的含量,乔林皮高于叶林皮;京尼平甙酸、绿原酸、桃叶珊瑚甙的含量则是叶林皮高于乔林皮;总黄酮的含量随提取溶剂的不同而有高有低.对杜仲皮进行不同的预处理和选用不同的提取溶剂,能改变提取得率,但是,叶林皮与乔林皮次生代谢物含量变化趋势基本不变,说明栽培方式对杜仲皮次生代谢物有一定影响.
