Syphacia muris: Water permeability of eggs and its effect on hatching

As a result of a previous study, it appeared that hatching of eggs of Syphacia muris is activated by the application of heat (37 °C) or cysteine or trypsin but that these are not the essential stimuli. In the present study it has been established that exposure of eggs prior to hatching for several hours to 37 °C or cysteine or trypsin, or for 3 days to 22 °C, accelerated hatching. Pretreatment with 37 °C or cysteine or trypsin also increased permeability of the eggshell to water; however, it did not induce the operculum to open. The operculum opened only if the eggs, after pretreatment, were immersed in water. The larvae could leave the opened eggs only in water and not in any other medium such as paraffin oil. These data made it possible to distinguish between three stages in the hatching process. During Stage 1, the eggshell becomes permeable to water. This can be induced by dissolving the proteins of the eggshell in a trypsin solution or by stimulating the larvae with temperature or cysteine. The permeability of the eggshell is essential to successful hatching. In Stage 2, which occurs only in the presence of water, the larvae dissolve the chitinous seal between the operculum and the eggshell. In Stage 3 the larvae probably increase their size by water absorption and leave the eggs. In the discussion it has been proposed that all nematodes, both those hatching in the intestine and the species hatching in the open, could well have an identical hatching mechanism to the one observed in Syphacia muris.     

光照长度对茴香植株生长及精油含量和组分的影响

采用人工遮光的方法,设计3个光照长度:从15:00遮光、17:00遮光和不遮光,研究不同光照长度对茴香生长和精油含量及组分的影响。结果表明:茴香株高、植株节数、鲜重均以17:00遮光较高,不遮光次之,15:00遮光较低;茴香植株干重、全碳含量、可溶性糖含量、叶绿素a含量、叶绿素b含量、类胡萝卜素含量和叶绿素a/叶绿素b均随光照长度的增加而增加;全氮含量、蛋白氮含量随光照长度的增加而减小;精油含量(0.61-1.20mL.(100g)-1DM)、单株精油产量(0.007-0.021mL)随光照长度的增加而增加,且处理间差异显著。精油共鉴定出22种成分,不同光照长度处理的茴香精油成分种类没有差别,且大多数成分的相对含量差异不显著。精油第一主要成分反式-茴香脑含量为47.40%-48.51%,第二主要成分柠檬烯含量为31.69%-33.26%,处理之间差异均不显著。     

土荆芥挥发油化感胁迫对土壤胞外酶活性和微生物多样性的影响

入侵植物释放的化感物质可改变土壤理化性状和微生物群落结构,通过与土壤微生物的互作抑制本土植物生长。为了进一步诠释土荆芥化感作用机制,采用温室培养瓶法,探讨了其挥发油对土壤胞外酶活性和微生物多样性的影响。结果表明:土荆芥挥发油不同程度降低了脲酶、酸性磷酸酶、蔗糖酶和硝酸还原酶的活性(P0.05);较高剂量的挥发油处理组显著促进了过氧化氢酶活性(P0.05)。处理初期挥发油对土壤胞外酶活性影响较大,但随着处理时间延长,其影响逐渐减弱;处理16 d后,较高剂量(20μL和50μL)的挥发油处理组细菌数量显著高于对照(P0.05)。挥发油对土壤放线菌数量的影响表现为低剂量促进,高剂量抑制的效应;PCR-DGGE分析表明,随着挥发油处理剂量增加和处理时间延长,土壤中细菌和真菌的Shannonwiener多样性指数和丰富度指数均增大。结论:土荆芥挥发油可改变土壤微生物群落结构和胞外酶活性,增加土壤微生物多样性。     

冀西北坝上半干旱区南瓜油葵间作的水分效应

针对冀西北高原水源匮乏、利用低效问题,于2009-2010年在农业部张北农业资源与生态环境重点野外观测试验站通过南瓜//油葵不同间作群体结构试验,探讨了该区南瓜水分高效的种植方式。试验设南瓜单作（Sp）,南瓜行间作1行油葵（IC1）,南瓜行间作2行油葵（IC2）和油葵单作（So）4个处理。结果表明,南瓜行间种植两行油葵（IC2）在南瓜生长中后期出现了油葵与南瓜争夺水分的现象,而南瓜行间种植一行油葵（IC1）无此现象。各处理间水量平衡各分量有较大的差异,在整个生育时期降雨量为201.6mm的情况下,渗漏量占的比重非常小,并且土壤蓄水量变化均为负值,绝大部分水分都是以气态水蒸散掉,但不同间作方式蒸散失水量不同,其中IC1较So、Sp和IC2分别少散失土壤水分36.33%、19.00%和34.87%。得益于油葵的偏利效应使南瓜经济产量下降30.00% ~71.42%,而间种油葵单株产量相对单作田提高190.71%~ 241.26%,虽其土地当量比LER和水分当量比WER分别达1.08~1.22和1.07~1.26,但IC1复合群体的经济效益只能与南瓜单作田持平,其他处理明显低于单作南瓜。在冀西北高原雨养背景下,稀植高效的南瓜单作生产能够实现对区域水资源的高效利用。
