Results showed thatthe runoff concentrations of total phosphorus (TP) and P losses differed with the slope, beinghighest when the slope was 18 deg. At twodifferent rainfall intensities, the runoff TP and P losseshad a similar decreasing trend as the surface soil texture became coarser, therefore applying thegrit would decrease P in runofi from soils of farmland on slopes with heavier textures. With wheatas a crop cover the runoff TP concentrations and P losses were significantly lower than those of thebare soil. This showed that plant cover would greatly decrease P in runoff from the farmland of thestudy area. The TP concentration in runoff from the soil two days after fertilization doubled whencompared with that from the non-fertilized soil, indicating that fertilization could mean a dramaticrise in P runoff if irrigation or heavy rainfall occurred immediately after application and that nofertilization before a rain and no irrigation immediately after fertilization would reduce runoff Ploss from the farmland of the study area.展开更多

Methods:Semen samples were collected by electro-ejaculation from four sexually mature male cynomolgus monkeys. The spermatozoa were frozen in straws by liquid nitrogen vapor using egg-yolk-free Tes-Tris (mTTE) synthetic extender and glycerol as cryoprotectant.The effects of glycerol concentration (1%,3 %,5 %,10 % and 15 % [v/v]) and its equilibration time (10 min,30 min,60 min and 90 min) on post-thaw spermatozoa were examined by sperm motility and sperm head membrane integrity.Results:The post-thaw motility and head membrane integrity of spermatozoa were significantly higher (P<0.05) for 5 % glycerol (42.95±2.55 and 50.39±2.42,respectively) than those of the other groups (1%:19.19±3.22 and 24.84±3.64;3 %:34.23±3.43 and 41.37±3.42;10 %: 15.68±2.36 and 21.39±3.14;15 %:7.47±1.44 and 12.90±2.18).The parameters for 30 min equilibration (42.95±2.55 and 50.39±2.42) were better (P<0.05) than those of the other groups (10 min:31.33±3.06 and 38. 98±3.31;60 min:32.49±3.86 and 40.01±4.18;90 min:31.16±3.66 and 38.30±3.78).Five percent glycerol and 30 min equilibration yielded the highest post-thaw sperm motility and head membrane integrity.Conclusion: Cynomolgus monkey spermatozoa can be successfully cryopreserved in a chemically defined extender,which is related to the concentration and the equilibration time of glycerol.展开更多

A total of 14 788 SSRs were observed in the whole genomic DNA sequence, about one every 2.57 kb, with the criteria of SSR length >15 bp and 80% matches. The most abundant microsatellite was trinucleotide repeat, the number was 4 729, followed by hexanucleotide and mononucleotide repeats, the numbers were 2 940 and 2 489 respectively, and the least abundance was dinucleotide repeat, only 691 were found. Among the 10 082 ORFs, 4 094 SSRs were harbored in 2 373 ORF (no intron) of the organism. One thousand and fifty six ORFs harbored only one SSR. Similar with other organisms, tri- and hexanucleotide repeats were predominant in ORFs, 54.1 and 48.8% of tri- and hexanucleotide repeats were distributed in ORF region. The density of these two motifs was overpresented in coding regions, because ORF region and coding region constitutes only 46 and 38.3% of genomic sequence, respectively. Upstream and downstream 300 bp of regulatory regions were high density regions of SSRs, particularly density of pentanucleotide SSR in upstream region was as high as five times of average density in genomic DNA, density of di- and tetranucleotide SSR was also more than two times of average density. The density of penta-, tetra-, di- and mononucleotide SSRs was relatively higher than average density. There were 47 SSRs in mitochondria 64 840 bp DNA sequence, their distribution is similar with genomic DNA sequence. These results suggested that SSRs were clustered in regulatory regions of genomic DNA.展开更多

Morphologic differences between different ploidy plants were analyzed. Average bark area percentages in ramie stem transection of haploids, tetraploids, diploids and triploids were 28. 91, 27. 05, 26. 97 and 24.77% respectively. Average percentages of fiber layer area of diploids, haploids, tetraploids and triploids were 16.80, 16. 58, 15.52 and 13.78% respectively. Average fiber cell diameter and cell wall thickness were increased along with the increase of the ploidy of the plants. Average fiber length of diploids, triploids and haploids were 8. 49, 7. 96 and 6. 93 cm respectively. Average L/B (length/breadth) of diploids, triploids and haploids were 2 470. 7, 2 390. 6 and 1 616.3 respectively. Average breadths of fiber of haploids, diploids and triploids were 29. 30, 33. 87 and 49. 20μm respectively. However, there were relatively large variations in the above characteristics among the ramie materials of the same ploidy levels. Field performance of different ploidy plants was also investigated. As the chromosome ploidy increasing, there was a tendency of declining in shoot number per plant and increasing in stem diameter. Average shoots per plant of haploids, diploids, triploids and tetraploids were 5.83, 5.30, 3.77 and 3. 65 whereas their average stem diameters were 0.66, 0. 67, 0. 74 and 0. 76 cm respectively. Triploids were the tallest, while haploids were the shortest. Triploids had strong growth vigour, diploids and tetraploids had moderate growth vigour, while haploids appeared to be lack of growth vigour. Cold stress tolerance of tetraploids were the strongest, diploid had the moderate tolerance, while haploids and triploids were the least tolerant to cold stress. Both haploids and triploids were sterile.展开更多

A modified Staehli procedure was used to synthesize sodiumbirnessite in an alkali medium by O_2 oxidation. The effects of preparative parameters on thesynthesis of birnessite, such as pretreatment on solutions with N2, reaction temperature, O_2 flowrate, fluxion velocity of the reaction suspension, and dehydration conditions were investigated. Thefluxion velocity of the reactive suspension and O_2 flow rate significantly influenced thesynthesis of birnessite. Vigorous stirring raised the fluxion velocity of the reaction suspensionand easily allowed synthesis of pure crystalline birnessite. However pretreatment of the reactingsolutions with N_2 and the reaction temperature had little effect on the synthesis. Diffusion of O_2was the controlling step during the course of oxidation. The optimum synthetic conditions for purebirnessite were: a NaOH to Mn molar ratio of 13.7, an O_2 flow rate of 2 L min^(-1), and oxidationfor 5 hours with vigorous stirring at normal temperatures. The chemical composition of thesynthesized pure birnessite was Na_(0.25)MnO_(2.07)·0.66H_2O.展开更多

Rice allelopathy against weeds was reported since 1989, which offers an integrated weed management with substantially reduced herbicide usage. Application of allelopathic rice cultivars is thought a resources conservation and environmental friendly way of weed bio-control, and could promote the sustainable development of agriculture. Screening or evaluating the allelopathic potential rice variety is the first step. In this paper, a new bioassay method was set up by the allelopathic potential of 9 rice lines on the target weed barnyardgrass （Echinochloa crusgalli）, and comparing with bioassay methods such as relay seeding in filter paper （RSF） and relay seeding in agar （RSA）. The results indicated that three methods had a same tendency in evaluating the allelopathic potential of rice; there existed a significant difference among different bioassay methods, and an interaction between bioassay methods and rice lines. The method of root exudates （RE） with the highest value and a correlation efficiency of 0.98 was considered as ideal bioassay method for evaluation of allelopathic potential.展开更多

Auxotrophic mutants of T. harzianum tolerant to carbendazim and UV-light were obtained by UV-light mutagenesis and carbendazim stress on PDA medium and a basis medium with hot pepper root exudation by adding the fungicide. The results showed: all four different isolates of Trichoderma had certain colonization ability in rhizosphere with the characteristic of growing as roots and distributing many more around root tips. The ability, however, was different for the 4 isolates, showing the wild isolates colonized weakly in rhizosphere. Around 5% spores alive and mutants could be obtained after the isolates were irradiated under a 20W UV-light at 25 cm distance for 5 min. The mutants tolerant to carbendazim were screened out by adding the fungicide into PDA medium, which increased resistance to the fungicide 100 times higher than their original isolates and showed auxotrophic. Three mutants,G7n,G20n and G5n, grew very well on PDA and a basic medium with hot pepper root exudation. Therefore, these mutants could be used as the isolates with good colonization ability for further research.展开更多
