5种半蒴苣苔属植物光合特性的比较

对半蒴苣苔属( Hemiboea C. B. Clarke)植物半蒴苣苔( H. henryi C. B. Clarke)、贵州半蒴苣苔( H. cavaleriei H. Lév.)、疏脉半蒴苣苔( H. cavaleriei var. paucinervis W. T. Wang et Z. Y. Li ex Z. Y. Li)、华南半蒴苣苔( H. follicularis C. B. Clarke)和红苞半蒴苣苔( H. rubribracteata Z. Y. Li et Yan Liu)叶片的光合特性进行了分析和比较。结果表明：5种植物的光合参数及其日变化曲线、光响应参数〔(包括最大净光合速率( Pmax )、表观量子效率(AQY)、光补偿点(LCP)和光饱和点(LSP)〕、CO2响应参数〔包括CO2饱和净光合速率(CSPn)、羧化效率(CE)、CO2补偿点( CCP)和CO2饱和点( CSP)〕均有较大差异。半蒴苣苔、疏脉半蒴苣苔和红苞半蒴苣苔的净光合速率( Pn)日变化曲线均呈“单峰型”,而贵州半蒴苣苔和华南半蒴苣苔的Pn日变化曲线均呈“双峰型”且“午休”现象明显;贵州半蒴苣苔和疏脉半蒴苣苔的气孔导度( Gs)和蒸腾速率( Tr)日变化曲线均呈“单峰型”,而其他3种植物的Gs和Tr日变化曲线均类似“双峰型”;5种植物的胞间CO2浓度( Ci)日变化均呈先降后升的趋势;此外,5种植物的Pn与Gs均呈显著正相关、与Tr均呈正相关、与Ci均呈负相关。5种植物的光响应曲线和CO2响应曲线均有差异,但在光合有效辐射( PAR)低于200μmol·m-2·s-1或环境CO2浓度( Ce)低于800μmol·mol-1的条件下,它们的Pn均随PAR或Ce的升高急剧增加。5种植物中,贵州半蒴苣苔的Pmax最高,疏脉半蒴苣苔的CSPn最高;贵州半蒴苣苔的LCP最高(55.74μmol·m-2·s-1),其他4种的LCP均小于10μmol·m-2·s-1;5种植物的LSP均介于600~800μmol·m-2·s-1之间,CCP介于50~150μmol·mol-1之间,而CSP均在1000μmol·mol-1以上。研究结果揭示：供试5种植物均为阴生植物,但因产地生境及遗传特性差异使它们各自适应不同的光照条件,因而,在引种栽培过程中应根据各种类的光合特性采取适当的遮阳措施。     

不同施肥配比对麦冬幼苗光合特性及干物质分配的影响

运用L9(33)正交实验设计、采用盆栽法研究了不同浓度N(15、30和45 mmol·L-1)、P(1、3和5 mmol·L-1)和K(6、12和24 mmol·L-1)配施对麦冬〔Ophiopogon japonicus (Linn. f.) Ker-Gawl.〕幼苗光合特性和干物质分配的影响。结果表明：N肥对麦冬幼苗叶片光合特性的影响最大,其中对叶绿素a含量、净光合速率、气孔导度、胞间CO2浓度和蒸腾速率的影响均达到显著水平,以45 mmol·L-1 N的促进作用最为明显;P肥对麦冬幼苗叶片光合参数均无显著影响;K肥仅对麦冬幼苗叶片类胡萝卜素含量有显著影响,以12 mmol·L-1 K处理组类胡萝卜素含量为最高。 N肥对麦冬幼苗地上部分和地下部分含水量的影响较大,K肥对二者的影响次之,P肥的影响较小。 N肥对麦冬幼苗地上部分和地下部分干物质分配指数以及根冠比的影响较大,P肥和K肥的影响较小。综合分析结果表明：45 mmol·L-1 N、1 mmol·L-1 P和12 mmol·L-1 K配施条件下麦冬幼苗叶片光合色素含量和植株含水量均较高,45 mmol·L-1 N、3 mmol·L-1 P和6 mmol·L-1 K配施条件下麦冬幼苗叶片光合参数较高,30 mmol·L-1 N、5 mmol·L-1 P和6 mmol·L-1 K配施条件下麦冬幼苗地下部分干物质分配比例较高。在麦冬的不同种植阶段可据此合理配施肥料以达到增加产量和提高品质的目的。     

秸秆还田对土壤钾素的影响及其替代钾肥效应研究进展

农作物秸秆是重要的有机资源,其合理有效利用也越来越受到重视。秸秆还田具有增加作物产量、提高土壤有机碳含量、培肥地力、促进养分循环利用和缓解土壤酸化等特点,对减少化肥施用具有重要作用。随着人们对资源高效利用认识的深入,秸秆还田水平正在不断的提高,国内外在秸秆还田对土壤钾素影响等方面的研究也取得了丰硕的成果。本文主要从秸秆还田对土壤钾素、作物产量的影响以及秸秆钾素与化肥钾的等效性等方面对秸秆还田的钾素效应进行了综述。还田秸秆初期主要是通过自身钾素释放提高当季土壤速效钾含量,而长期秸秆还田还可能促进矿物钾的释放;有效的秸秆还田不仅能够为土壤提供大量氮、磷、钾等速效养分,而且能为土壤中的微生物提供丰富的碳源,提高土壤肥力,进而增加作物产量。中国目前秸秆有效还田仍然不足1/3,与欧美国家秸秆还田率相比还具有很大的发展潜力。加强秸秆还田率将能缓解中国耕地土壤钾素缺乏与钾矿资源不足的矛盾。今后应进一步深入研究适宜秸秆还田量及其与化肥钾的合理配置,短期试验结合长期监测以探讨秸秆还田对钾素影响的作用机理,为提高秸秆有效还田,促进土壤-作物钾素高效循环提供理论依据。     

Fluorescence depolarization studies of filamentous actin analyzed with a genetic algorithm

A new method, in which a genetic algorithm was combined with Brownian dynamics and Monte Carlo simulations, was developed to analyze fluorescence depolarization data collected by the time-correlated single photon-counting technique. It was applied to studies of BODIPY-labeled filamentous actin (F-actin). The technique registered the local order and reorienting motions of the fluorophores, which were covalently coupled to cysteine 374 (C374) in actin and interacted by electronic energy migration within the actin polymers. Analyses of F-actin samples composed of different fractions of labeled actin molecules revealed the known helical organization of F-actin, demonstrating the usefulness of this technique for structure determination of complex protein polymers. The distance from the filament axis to the fluorophore was found to be considerably less than expected from the proposed position of C374 at a high filament radius. In addition, polymerization experiments with BODIPY-actin suggest a 25-fold more efficient signal for filament formation than pyrene-actin.     

Integrated likelihood functions for non-Bayesian inference

Consider a model with parameter = (, ), where is the parameterof interest, and let L(, ) denote the likelihood function. Oneapproach to likelihood inference for is to use an integratedlikelihood function, in which is eliminated from L(, ) by integratingwith respect to a density function (|). The goal of this paperis to consider the problem of selecting (|) so that the resultingintegrated likelihood function is useful for non-Bayesian likelihoodinference. The desirable properties of an integrated likelihoodfunction are analyzed and these suggest that (|) should be chosenby finding a nuisance parameter that is unrelated to and thentaking the prior density for to be independent of . Such anunrelated parameter is constructed and the resulting integratedlikelihood is shown to be closely related to the modified profilelikelihood.     

辣椒果实性状的遗传分析

以6个辣椒品种并按(1/2)n(n-1)双列杂交法配制的15个杂交组合为材料,根据Hayman分析法估算了辣椒果实5个性状的遗传模型和遗传参数。结果显示,果长、果肉厚和结果数的遗传符合“加性-显性”模型,果宽和单果质量不符合“加性-显性”模型,还存在显著上位性效应。遗传参数估算表明,5个果实性状遗传是以加性效应为主,但不同果实性状显性效应有较大的差异,果肉厚的显性效应最大,其次是果长和结果数,果宽和单果质量最小。     

Darwinian fitness

The term Darwinian fitness refers to the capacity of a variant type to invade and displace the resident population in competition for available resources. Classical models of this dynamical process claim that competitive outcome is a deterministic event which is regulated by the population growth rate, called the Malthusian parameter. Recent analytic studies of the dynamics of competition in terms of diffusion processes show that growth rate predicts invasion success only in populations of infinite size. In populations of finite size, competitive outcome is a stochastic process--contingent on resource constraints--which is determined by the rate at which a population returns to its steady state condition after a random perturbation in the individual birth and death rates. This return rate, a measure of robustness or population stability, is analytically characterized by the demographic parameter, evolutionary entropy, a measure of the uncertainty in the age of the mother of a randomly chosen newborn. This article appeals to computational and numerical methods to contrast the predictive power of the Malthusian and the entropic principles. The computational analysis rejects the Malthusian model and is consistent with of the entropic principle. These studies thus provide support for the general claim that entropy is the appropriate measure of Darwinian fitness and constitutes an evolutionary parameter with broad predictive and explanatory powers.     

辣椒净光合速率Hayman双列杂交分析

用辣椒(Capsicum annuum L.)6个亲本,按(1/2)n(n-1)双列杂交法配制15个杂交组合,用Hayman双列杂交分析法估算不同开花结果时期净光合速率的遗传参数。阵列协方差(Wr)对阵列方差(Vr)的回归分析结果表明,辣椒开花结果前期、中期、后期净光合速率的遗传都不符合“加性-显性”模型。Wr Vr与亲本Yr间的相关分析表明含有更多高净光合速率,显性基因的亲本具有较大的Wr Vr值。遗传参数估算表明开花结果时期的净光合速率遗传是显性效应比加性效应更加重要,同时还存在显著上位性效应。狭义遗传力较小,开花结果中、后期杂种优势比前期明显。
