In Poland, distribution of non-native pumpkinseed Lepomis gibbosus (Centrarchidae) is strictly limited to the Oder river basin, where it was introduced in the early 20th century. Recently, several populations have been found in waterbodies adjacent to the Oder, particularly in its lower reaches. In this study, we compare the genetic relatedness of populations in the Oder basin with other European populations using nuclear (microsatellite) and mitochondrial (partial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I; cox1) markers. Microsatellite analysis indicated that four populations in the lower Oder form a separate cluster, while one in the middle Oder clustered with Danubian populations, from where probably having been introduced. Microsatellite data suggested that the lower Oder populations differ from other non-native European populations, making it impossible to estimate the source of introduction. Nevertheless, analysis of cox1 indicated that Oder pumpkinseeds belong to the same haplotype as the vast majority of European populations. Parasitological examination confirmed the presence of two North American species, the monogenean Onchocleidus dispar and trematode Posthodiplostomum centrarchi, in the lower Oder, both previously unknown in the region. Fifteen other parasite species were acquired, including glochidia of invasive Sinanodonta woodiana. In the middle Oder, parasite infection was more limited. Fish from the Gryfino Canal, considered one of the most invasive populations in Europe, showed the highest parasite abundance and diversity, and the highest somatic condition and growth rate due to warm water released from the Dolna Odra power plant. Our results highlight significant differences in somatic condition and parasite infection in long-established non-native pumpkinseed populations in the same river system, reflecting mainly environmental conditions. 相似文献
In this study, two herbaceous peony cultivars with different heat tolerances (‘Fenyunu’ FYN low sensitivity and ‘Qiaoling’ QL high sensitivity) were used as research materials. An integrated view of the factors underlying the decrease in photosynthetic rate under high-temperature (HT) stress was provided by analyzing the biochemical parameters, chloroplast ultrastructure, gas-exchange parameters, chlorophyll fluorescence, and modulated 820 nm reflection of herbaceous peony leaves. The results showed that hydrogen peroxide, superoxide anion, malondialdehyde, and electrical conductivity increased significantly, while the photosynthetic pigments content and photosynthetic capacity decreased significantly in QL than in FYN under HT. The contents of soluble sugars and proline increased greatly in FYN than in QL, while the activity of SOD decreased markedly in QL than in FYN after HT. Compared with FYN, the ultrastructure of QL was more seriously disrupted under HT. Chlorophyll fluorescence analysis showed that HT changed the shapes of OJIP curve, resulting in the increase of K phase and J phase. The PSII acceptor side was more damaged than the donor side, and the electron transfer was seriously blocked. The energy flow in the process of light energy absorption, capture, and electron transfer were significantly changed after HT stress. Meanwhile, PSI was also significantly inhibited, and the coordination of both photosystems decreased. The variation of these parameters in FYN was less than that in QL. These results suggested that FYN featured a more heat-tolerance ability as evidenced by the good performances on the antioxidant system, osmoregulatory capacity, and the thermostability of membranes and photosystems.
In many organisms, the synthesis of heat shock proteins during heat shock is concomitant with the cessation of at least a portion of normal cellular protein synthesis. Heat shocked barley aleurone layers selectively stop the synthesis and secretion of secretory proteins. Exposure to 40°C causes a disruption of endoplasmic reticulum (ER) lamellae, which we have hypothesized leads to the destabilization of otherwise stable mRNA previously associated with ER‐bound polyribosomes. We report here that this was also observed in wounded carrot ( Daucus carota L.) root parenchyma tissue which synthesizes and secretes cell wall proteins when mechanically wounded. Nondenaturing cationic polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of radiolabeled proteins indicated that heat shock caused the cessation of the synthesis and secretion of extensin, a hydroxyproline‐rich cell wall glycoprotein. Northern blot analyses indicated that the mRNA levels for both extensin and another cell wall protein (p33) were rapidly diminished during heat shock. Under nonheat shock conditions extensin mRNA had a half‐life of greater than 4 h, but this appeared to be reduced to less than 30 min during heat shock. There was also a concomitant dissociation of ER lamellae in wounded, heat shocked carrot root tissue, as observed by transmission electron microscopy. These observations indicate that this response may be universal among plant secretory tissues. 相似文献
