In this paper the recent population changes of the Wild Boar in different European countries is analysed through the study of hunting statistics. A simultaneous increase in numbers is observed throughout the whole area during the period 1965–1975. From 1975 onwards the population stabilizes itself apart from in peripheral areas like Finland. Potentially favourable factors which play a part in this process are discussed and certain reproductive and dispersive characteristics which favour its invasive behaviour are discussed. 相似文献

Interleukin-6 is a classic pro-inflammatory cytokine needed to mount an effective immune response. It is secreted by a wide array of cell types, however, its target cells are more restricted, due to the fact that very few cells, except lymphocytes and hepatocytes, express the functional membrane IL-6 receptor. This therefore limits the amount of cells that can respond to IL-6. Transsignalling, the shedding of the membrane bound form of the IL-6 receptor (sIL-6R) into the local microenvironment, greatly increases the range of cells that can respond e.g. as part of a wound healing response necessary to restore the homeostatic balance. Therefore, tight regulation of IL-6 signalling must occur to stop an inappropriate wound healing response occurring. This review focusses on the role of IL-6 in inflammation and fibrosing conditions, with a particular emphasis on systemic sclerosis (SSc), a chronic autoimmune disease in which a classical hallmark of fibrosis occurs. This fibrosis, in particular the skin and internal organs, leads to contractures and internal organ failure respectively with potential fatal consequences. In this review we will discuss the biology of IL-6 in the context of fibrosing conditions such as SSc and argue why molecular targeting of IL-6 is a promising therapeutic target. 相似文献

Chromosome numbers were counted for 23 species of Crotalaria native to Brazil. Among these data there were new counts for 15 taxa, and some confirmed previous reports or represented numbers that were different from those cited previously. The chromosome numbers most frequently found were 2 n = 16 and 2 n = 32. Only C. incana L. had 2 n = 14 and C. tweediana Benth. had 2 n = 54. The counts 2 n = 32 and 54 were found in species of section Calycinae and 2 n = 16 and 14 in species of section Chrysocalycinae . The data revealed the importance of chromosomal parameters in the characterization of sections Calycinae and Chrysocalycinae in Brazil. We discuss the systematic significance and evolutionary aspects for the genus, comparing the results with the two sections that are native in Brazil. © 2006 The Linnean Society of London, Botanical Journal of the Linnean Society , 2006, 151 , 271–277. 相似文献

A total of 44 accessions of Brachiaria decumbens were analysed for chromosome count and meiotic behaviour in order to identify potential progenitors for crosses. Among them,
15 accessions presented 2n = 18; 27 accessions, 2n = 36; and 2 accessions, 2n = 45 chromosomes. Among the diploid accessions, the rate of meiotic abnormalities was low, ranging from 0.82% to 7.93%. In
the 27 tetraploid accessions, the rate of meiotic abnormalities ranged from 18.41% to 65.83%. The most common meiotic abnormalities
were related to irregular chromosome segregation, but chromosome stickiness and abnormal cytokinesis were observed in low
frequency. All abnormalities can compromise pollen viability by generating unbalanced gametes. Based on the chromosome number
and meiotic stability, the present study indicates the apomictic tetraploid accessions that can act as male genitor to produce
interspecific hybrids with B. ruziziensis or intraspecific hybrids with recently artificially tetraploidized accessions. 相似文献

The genetic variability at six cloned minisatellite loci was analyzed in
minke whale populations from the North Atlantic, North Pacific, and
Antarctic Oceans. Three loci displayed only a few different alleles in each
of the three populations, with heterozygosity ranging from 0.00 to 0.47,
and three loci revealed many different alleles in at least two fo the three
populations, with heterozygosity ranging up to 0.98. Using small sample
sizes, samples from two adjacent Antarctic Management Areas were not found
to differ significantly in allele frequencies at any of the six loci. The
use of principal coordinate analysis to detect multilocus disequilibria was
explored. No significant evidence was found of intrapopulation
heterogeneity within the pooled Antarctic sample. Pronounced interoceanic
differences were observed at every locus, confirming the existence of
genetic isolation found earlier using more conventional marker systems. The
populations from the three oceans appear to have diverged to such a degree
that the hypervariable loci have had time to evolve independently and
arrive at different evolutionary stages in different populations. The
frequency of undetected "null" alleles is remarkably high in minke whale
populations compared to human populations and is probably a result of the
cloning protocol used. Minisatellite loci are shown to provide a powerful
population genetic tool, supplying levels of resolution appropriate to
different degrees of evolutionary divergence.

The protein Tarin 1, from Colocasia esculenta, was expressed in Nicotiana tabacum. Bioassays were done on plants expressing Tarin 1 at different levels using Spodoptera frugiperda larvae, various bacteria and fungi and the root‐knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica. It was found that S. frugiperda larvae fed on transformed plants had retarded and lower pupation, lower accumulated biomass and higher mortality rate than larvae fed on control plants. Also, Tarin 1 was found to inhibit the growth in vitro of Pseudomonas syringae pv. tomato. For Meloidogyne javanica, both relative replication and root damage were greater in control plants than in transformed plants, but the results were not statistically significant. This work illustrates the effects of plants expressing Tarin 1, on the growth and development of insects and bacteria, and shows its potential for pest management. 相似文献
