既要保证氮肥在优质高效农业生产中的促进作用,又要保证农业和环境的可持续发展,如何提高氮肥利用率、减轻氮肥污染成了解决问题的关键.从氮素在土壤中的生物化学转化过程入手,通过抑制剂的施用来调控氮素的转化,减缓硝化过程的进行,是解决该问题的一种有效措施.本文从硝化抑制剂的定义、筛选硝化抑制剂的条件、国内外较受关注的硝化抑制剂品种以及硝化抑制机理等几个方面对目前的研究进展进行综述,并提出目前研究中存在的问题及今后的研究方向.     

Herbicide-resistant Indica rice plants from IRRI breeding line IR72 after PEG-mediated transformation of protoplasts

The commercially important Indica rice cultivar Oryza sativa cv. IR72 has been transformed using direct gene transfer to protoplasts. PEG-mediated transformation was done with two plasmid constructs containing either a CaMV 35S promoter/HPH chimaeric gene conferring resistance to hygromycin (Hg) or a CaMV 35S promoter/BAR chimaeric gene conferring resistance to a commercial herbicide (Basta) containing phosphinothricin (PPT). We have obtained so far 92 Hg^r and 170 PPT^r IR72 plants from protoplasts through selection. 31 Hg^r and 70 PPT^r plants are being grown in the greenhouse to maturity. Data from Southern analysis and enzyme assays proved that the transgene was stably integrated into the host genome and expressed. Transgenic plants showed complete resistance to high doses of the commercial formulations of PPT.     

Incorporating rhizosphere processes into field-scale (agro)ecosystem models

Three different strategies for incorporating rhizosphere processes within field-scale models are compared, taking triple-cropped irrigated rice production as a common system and CH₄ emission as a common focus of interest. The strategies may be characterised as homogeneous (model I; root C deposition is added to the bulk soil compartment), areal (model II; roots contribute via aerenchymatous exchange to an increased soil–atmosphere interfacial surface area), and volumetric (model III; roots create around themselves a specific rhizosphere compartment). Model I is simpler than model II, which is simpler than model III. With identical parameters all models lead to similar seasonally integrated CH₄ emissions, but when the pattern of emission and the simulated CH₄ concentration in the soil is brought into the reckoning, the following order of precedence (greater is better) becomes clear: model IIImodel II>model I. Current field-scale models of soil organic matter (SOM) transformation, especially in rice soils, could be improved by taking explicit account of the rhizosphere and the processes which occur within it.     

水稻根系响应镉胁迫的蛋白质差异表达

为探讨水稻根系对镉胁迫的分子生理响应,以抗镉水稻PI312777和镉敏感水稻IR24为材料,设置Cd~(2+)浓度为0、50和100μmol/L的水培试验,处理7 d后分析了水稻根系的蛋白质差异表达。结果表明,在镉胁迫下水稻PI312777和IR24根系有18个蛋白质发生了差异表达,其中的12个得到MALDI-TOF/MS鉴定。这些鉴定的蛋白功能可分四类:(1)与活性氧(ROS)胁迫相关的过氧化物酶(POD)、蛋氨酸腺苷转移酶(MAT)、类萌发素蛋白前体;(2)与谷胱甘肽(GSH)合成相关的S-腺苷甲硫氨酸合成酶(SAMS)、谷氨酰胺合成酶(GS)和谷氨酸脱氢酶(GDH);(3)与逆境胁迫相关的ABA胁迫诱导蛋白含HVA22域蛋白、ABA-胁迫-成熟诱导蛋白5(ASR5);(4)与细胞分裂调控相关的GTP结合核蛋白Ran-2。镉胁迫下SAMS和GTP结合核蛋白Ran-2在两种水稻根系均发生上调表达;MAT、POD、类萌发素蛋白前体和GS发生下调表达;依赖NADP-GDH、GDH和磷酸甘油酸变位酶在IR24根部均发生下调表达,在PI312777根部仅在100μmol/L Cd~(2+)处理发生下调表达;含HVA22域蛋白在PI312777根部上调表达,在IR24根部发生下调表达;ASR5在PI312777根部上调表达,在IR24根部的表达无显著差异;100μmol/L Cd~(2+)胁迫下60S酸性核糖体蛋白P0在水稻PI312777根部表达下调,在IR24根部表达上调。可见,镉胁迫使水稻根部ROS增加,形成氧化胁迫反应,造成毒害作用,而水稻根通过调节SAMS和GS提高GSH合成降低镉毒害。ASR5和HVA22蛋白等逆境胁迫蛋白的表达差异则是水稻品种间抗性差异的重要原因之一。     

气候变化对黑龙江省水稻障碍型冷害的影响

明确气候变化对黑龙江省水稻孕穗期和抽穗期障碍型冷害的影响,可为水稻安全生产提供科学依据。基于黑龙江省70个台站1971—2012年的气象资料和10个台站1980—2011年水稻生育期数据,结合水稻障碍型冷害指标,分析了气候变化对黑龙江省水稻障碍型冷害的影响。结果表明:(1)水稻孕穗期障碍型冷害1990s发生频率最低,2000s发生频率最高;抽穗期障碍型冷害1970s和1980s发生频率高,1990s和2000s发生频率低。(2)抽穗期障碍型冷害发生程度大于孕穗期障碍型冷害。(3)不同熟型水稻品种可种植北界逐渐北移东扩,极早熟、早熟和中熟品种可种植范围分别缩小了5、21和11个县(市),中晚熟和晚熟品种可种植范围分别扩大了14和23个县(市)。(4)随着水稻种植格局的变化,不同熟型水稻障碍型冷害均在1990s发生频率最低,2000s发生频率最高。     

水稻短根突变体Osksr5的遗传分析和基因定位

水稻根系对其生长、发育及产量等起着至关重要的作用。该研究从甲基磺酸乙酯（ethyl methane sulfonate,EMS）诱变的籼稻Kasalath突变体库中筛选到1个根系变短的突变体,命名为Osksr5（Oryza sativa kasalath short root 5）,该突变体植株具体表现为主根、不定根和侧根都明显变短,不定根的数目相对减少,株高与野生型相比也明显矮小。遗传分析结果表明,该突变性状由1对隐性核基因控制。利用图位克隆技术将OsKSR5基因定位在第1染色体的STS（sequence tagged site）分子标记33027k和33471k,物理距离约为444 kb。对OsKSR5基因的定位为进一步克隆该基因和阐明水稻根系发育的分子机理奠定了基础。     

Comparative study of movement patterns of Mastomys natalensis in irrigated rice and fallow fields in eastern Tanzania

A 2‐year capture–mark–recapture study was conducted to estimate home ranges and weekly travel distance of Mastomys natalensis (Smith 1834) in an irrigated rice ecosystem and fallow fields. We found that adults have larger home ranges than subadults in fallow fields but not in rice fields, indicating that fallow fields are more suitable for breeding. Travel distances were larger in rice fields, especially in the transplanting stage, during which rice fields are flooded and provide less food, causing movements into neighbouring fallow fields that then temporarily experience higher population density. A decrease in travel distance was observed in rice fields during the maturity stage, which can be explained by higher food availability and a more suitable, nonflooded situation. Movement of M. natalensis in rice‐fallow mosaic landscapes thus seems to be driven by food availability and flooding status of the rice fields, which can be attributed to land use practices.
