大凉螈繁殖生态 总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1
大凉螈是我国特有的珍稀有尾两栖动物,其种群数量目前呈现明显下降趋势,然而涉及该物种保护的繁殖生态学研究仍十分匮乏。通过融合围栏陷阱及标志重捕的样方调查法,对大凉螈石棉栗子坪种群繁殖个体和变态登陆幼体的迁徙、繁殖群体种群大小、繁殖场内雌雄有效性比变化等进行了研究。运用Jolly-Seber法估测了繁殖种群大小,运用单因素方差分析或Kruskal-Wallis秩和检验比较了不同时期进入繁殖场的雄性大凉螈头体长及体重,运用t检验或者Wilcoxon秩和检验比较了雌雄性间形态上的差异,运用t检验、t′检验或Wilcoxon秩和检验比较了野外抱对雄性与非抱对雄性间的体征差别,运用Pearson相关分析探讨了雌性产卵量与其身体形态的关系,同时观察了卵的孵化情况。研究结果表明:大凉螈的繁殖季为每年的4月下旬到7月下旬,幼体最早于8月上旬变态登陆。估测调查地繁殖场内雄性大凉螈繁殖种群大小约为391尾,雄螈较雌螈更早进入繁殖场且在场内停留时间更长,体重较轻的雄螈较晚迁入繁殖场。有效性比明显偏雄(雌/雄:0.03—0.10)。雌雄间具明显性二型性,雌性个体的头体长、体重及肥满度均大于雄性,而雄性的尾高和尾长占全长的比例则大于雌性。对比自然抱对雄性和非抱对雄性个体发现,抱对个体在头体长、体重和尾高等体征方面显著大于非抱对个体,暗示这些形态特征可能在雄性竞争配偶的过程中起到关键作用。雌螈在室内条件下平均产卵数为176枚,产卵历时2—4 d,产卵量与雌性肥满度正相关,卵的平均孵化期为15.7 d,孵出幼体平均全长为9.74 mm。 相似文献

【目的】研究不同Zn(Ⅱ)浓度对好氧反硝化菌Acinetobacter sp.JR-142生理活性,尤其是反硝化代谢特性的影响。【方法】筛选一株好氧反硝化菌,优化了最佳活性条件;分析了不同Zn(Ⅱ)浓度对生长曲线和反硝化效率的影响以及对细胞形态的影响;明晰了不同Zn(Ⅱ)浓度条件下,细胞特征活性酶-硝酸盐还原酶和亚硝酸盐还原酶的活性变化情况,分析了不同活性同关键酶的编码基因napA和nirS的相对表达量之间的规律。【结果】获得一株具有好氧反硝化功能的菌株,命名为JR-142,经鉴定为不动杆菌Acinetobacter sp.。在以琥珀酸钠为碳源,C/N为6,pH为7.0,温度30℃,转速为180 r/min的条件下,好氧反硝化活性最高。结果表明当Zn(Ⅱ)浓度为3.25 mg/L时,对菌株的生长及好氧反硝化速率有促进作用;当Zn(Ⅱ)浓度为52 mg/L以上浓度时,菌株的生长及反硝化速率均受到抑制。酶活及关键基因napA、nirS的定量分析结果显示,对照组及JR+0.05处理组的硝酸盐还原酶NR、亚硝酸盐还原酶NiR活性均高于JR+0.8处理组,在24 h时,JR+0.05 Zn(Ⅱ)处理组中,细胞的关键好氧反硝化基因napA及nirS的相对表达量显著高于对照组,这进一步说明3.25 mg/L Zn(Ⅱ)可以促进好氧反硝化过程,而在24 h及32 h时对照组及JR+0.05处理组的基因相对表达量远高于JR+0.8处理组,也说明52 mg/L Zn(Ⅱ)则会对反应产生抑制。【结论】探究并系统分析了不同Zn(Ⅱ)浓度对不动杆菌Acinetobacter sp.JR-142生长繁殖以及和在重金属锌离子存在的情况下影响好氧反硝化生理活性的影响,为后续硝酸盐-重金属复合污染废水的生物处理技术提供了数据指导。 相似文献

水稻病程相关PR1家族蛋白质在叶片生长及与白叶枯病菌互作反应中的表达 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
病程相关(PR)蛋白质经常被用作抗病反应的分子标记。利用免疫印迹(WB)技术检测了7个PR1家族蛋白质在水稻(Oryza sativa)叶片生长及与白叶枯病菌互作反应过程中的表达,发现6个PR1家族蛋白质在叶片生长中有表达。检测PR1蛋白质在Xa21介导的抗白叶枯病过程中的表达,结果显示PR1#052、PR1#072、PR1#073和PR1#121四个蛋白质在抗病反应后期呈上调或诱导表达,PR1#071则表达下调。进一步比较它们在抗病、感病和对照(Mock)反应中的表达丰度,发现在抗病和感病反应中的变化幅度均明显大于对照反应,推测这些PR蛋白质在水稻-白叶枯病菌互作反应中发挥作用。另外,对PR1基因上游启动子区的cis元件进行了分析。该研究初步揭示了水稻PR1家族蛋白质的表达谱,为进一步了解PR1蛋白质的功能提供了线索。 相似文献

A few individuals with intermediate morphology always appeared in the sympatric distributions of Gentiana straminea and G. siphonantha. These intermediate individuals were hypothesized to be the hybrids of two species after a careful evaluation of their morphological
characteristics. To test this hypothesis, sequence comparison of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions of the nuclear
ribosomal and trnS (GCU)-trnG (UCC) intergenic spacer region of the chloroplast DNA from Gentiana straminea, G. siphonantha and the putative hybrids was performed. The results suggest that most intermediate individuals were the natural hybrids between
G. straminea and G. siphonantha. In addition, we examined the sequence variation among the individuals of both parent species and analyzed the possibility
leading to the incongruent identification in some individuals based on morphologic and molecular evidences, respectively.
The intraspecific diversification of DNA fragments within both parent species and their high variability in hybrid swarms
probably resulted from chloroplast genome recombination and incomplete lineage sorting during the early stages of speciation
origin of the parent species.

We present a Bayesian method for characterizing the mating system of populations reproducing through a mixture of self-fertilization and random outcrossing. Our method uses patterns of genetic variation across the genome as a basis for inference about reproduction under pure hermaphroditism, gynodioecy, and a model developed to describe the self-fertilizing killifish Kryptolebias marmoratus. We extend the standard coalescence model to accommodate these mating systems, accounting explicitly for multilocus identity disequilibrium, inbreeding depression, and variation in fertility among mating types. We incorporate the Ewens sampling formula (ESF) under the infinite-alleles model of mutation to obtain a novel expression for the likelihood of mating system parameters. Our Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm assigns locus-specific mutation rates, drawn from a common mutation rate distribution that is itself estimated from the data using a Dirichlet process prior model. Our sampler is designed to accommodate additional information, including observations pertaining to the sex ratio, the intensity of inbreeding depression, and other aspects of reproduction. It can provide joint posterior distributions for the population-wide proportion of uniparental individuals, locus-specific mutation rates, and the number of generations since the most recent outcrossing event for each sampled individual. Further, estimation of all basic parameters of a given model permits estimation of functions of those parameters, including the proportion of the gene pool contributed by each sex and relative effective numbers. 相似文献

Bacillus subtilis and its close relatives are widely used in industry for the Sec-dependent secretory production of proteins. Like other Gram-positive bacteria, B. subtilis does not possess SecB, a dedicated targeting chaperone that posttranslationally delivers exported proteins to the SecA component of the translocase. In the present study, we have implemented a functional SecB-dependent protein-targeting pathway into B. subtilis by coexpressing SecB from Escherichia coli together with a SecA hybrid protein in which the carboxyl-terminal 32 amino acids of the B. subtilis SecA were replaced by the corresponding part of SecA from E. coli. In vitro pulldown experiments showed that, in contrast to B. subtilis SecA, the hybrid SecA protein gained the ability to efficiently bind to E. coli SecB, suggesting that the structural details of the extreme C-terminal region of SecA constitute a crucial SecB binding specificity determinant. Using a poorly exported mutant maltose binding protein (MalE11) and alkaline phosphatase (PhoA) as model proteins, we could demonstrate that the secretion of both proteins by B. subtilis was significantly enhanced in the presence of the artificial protein targeting pathway. Mutations in SecB that do not influence its chaperone activity but prevent its interaction with SecA abolished the secretion stimulation of both proteins, demonstrating that the implemented pathway in fact critically depends on the SecB targeting function. From a biotechnological view, our results open up a new strategy for the improvement of Gram-positive bacterial host systems for the secretory production of heterologous proteins. 相似文献

Theory predicts that naturally occurring hybrid zones between genetically distinct taxa can move over space and time as a result of selection and/or demographic processes, with certain types of hybrid zones being more or less likely to move. Determining whether a hybrid zone is stationary or moving has important implications for understanding evolutionary processes affecting interactions in hybrid populations. However, direct observations of hybrid zone movement are difficult to make unless the zone is moving rapidly. Here, evidence for movement in the house mouse Mus musculus domesticus × Mus musculus musculus hybrid zone is provided using measures of LD and haplotype structure among neighbouring SNP markers from across the genome. Local populations of mice across two transects in Germany and the Czech Republic were sampled, and a total of 1301 mice were genotyped at 1401 markers from the nuclear genome. Empirical measures of LD provide evidence for extinction and (re)colonization in single populations and, together with simulations, suggest hybrid zone movement because of either geography-dependent asymmetrical dispersal or selection favouring one subspecies over the other. 相似文献
