Phylogeny of east Asian bufonids inferred from mitochondrial DNA sequences (Anura : Amphibia)

We investigated the relationships of Asian bufonids using partial sequences of mitochondrial DNA genes. Twenty-six samples representing 14 species of Bufo from China and Vietnam and 2 species of Torrentophryne from China were examined. Three samples of Bufo viridis from Armenia and Georgia were also sequenced to make a comparison to its sibling tetraploid species B. danatensis. Bufo americanus, from Canada, was used as the outgroup. Sequences from the 12S ribosomal RNA, 16S ribosomal RNA, cytochrome b, and the control region were analyzed using parsimony. East Asian bufonids were grouped into two major clades. One clade included B. andrewsi, B. bankorensis, B. gargarizans, B. tibetanus, B. tuberculatus, its sister clade B. cryptotympanicus, and the 2 species of Torrentophryne. The second clade consisted of B. galeatus, B. himalayanus, B. melanostictus, and a new species from Vietnam. The placement of three taxa (B. raddei B. viridis, and its sister species, B. danatensis) was problematic. The genus Torrentophryne should be synonymized with Bufo to remove paraphyly. Because B. raddei does not belong to the clade that includes B. viridis and B. danatensis, it was removed from the viridis species group. The species status of B bankorensis from Taiwan is evaluated.

阳光紫外辐射对室内水培发状念珠藻生理特性的影响

发状念珠藻(Nostoc flagelli forme Bornet & Flahault)是一种重要的陆生经济蓝藻,室内培育出的原植体如何适应阳光辐射的问题尚需探讨。为此,作者将室内水培发菜置于阳光下培养,测定了其生长、有效光化学效率(ΔF/F′m)和色素的变化。结果表明,较高的可见光(PAR,395—700nm)和紫外辐射(UVR,280—395nm)均导致水培发菜的ΔF/F′m下降。第1天中午,PAR和UVR分别使ΔF/F′m下降了54%和13%;傍晚,ΔF/F′m有部分恢复。UVR对发菜适应阳光2

Amplified fragment length polymorphism analysis to identify the genetic structure of the Gymnocypris przewalskii (Kessler, 1876) population from the Qinghai Basin, China

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used to analyse the genetic structure of 45 individuals of Gymnocypris przewalskii (Kessler, 1876), an endangered and state-protected rare fish species, from three areas [the Heima (HM), Buha (BH) and Shaliu rivers (SL), all draining into Qinghai Lake]. A total of 563 polymorphic loci were detected. The HM, BH and SL populations have 435, 433 and 391 loci, respectively (Zhu and Wu, 1975), which account for 77.26%, 76.91% and 69.45% of the total number of polymorphic loci of each population, respectively. The Nei indices of genetic diversities (H) of the three populations were calculated to be 0.2869 (HM), 0.2884 (BH) and 0.2663 (SL), respectively. Their Shannon informative indices are 0.4244, 0.4251 and 0.3915, respectively. Research results show that the mean genetic distance between HM and BH is the smallest (0.0511), between BH and SL is the second shortest (0.0608), and between HM and SL is the largest (0.0713), with the mean genetic distance among the three populations being over 0.05. Data mentioned above indicate that the three populations have a certain genetic differentiation. The total genetic diversity (H-t = 0.3045) and the mean value of genetic diversity within the population (H-s = 0.2786) indicate that the variations have mainly come from within the population.

Differential screening and characterization analysis of the egg envelope glycoprotein ZP3 cDNAs between gynogenetic and gonochoristic crucian carp

Gynogenetic silver crucian carp, Carassius auratus gibelio, is an intriguing model. system. In the present work, a systemic study has been initiated by introducing suppression subtractive hybridization technique into this model system to identify the differentially expressed genes in oocytes between gynogenetic silver crucian carp and its closely related gonochoristic color crucian carp. Five differential cDNA fragments were identified from the preliminary screening, and two of them are ZP3 homologues. Moreover, the full length ZP3 cDNAs were cloned from their oocyte cDNA libraries. The length of ZP3 cDNAs were 1378 bp for gyno-carp and 1367 bp for gono-carp, and they can be translated into proteins with 435 amino acids. Obvious differences are not only in the composition of amino acids, but also in the number of potential O-linked oligosaccharide sites. In addition, gyno-carp ZP3 amino acid sequence has an unexpected higher identity value with common carp (83.5%) than that with the closely related gono-carp (74.7%). The unique homology may be originated from the ancient hybridization. Northern blot analysis confirmed that expression of the ZP3 gene occurred exclusively in the oocytes. Because O-linked oligosaccharides on ZP3 have been demonstrated to play very important roles in fertilization, it is suggested that the extra O-linked glycosylation sites may be related to the unique sperm-egg recognition mechanism in gynogenesis.

HYDROGRAPHIC VARIATIONS IN SIZE STRUCTURE OF PLANKTON BIOMASS IN A CHANGJIANG FLOODPLAIN LAKE

The size structure of the planktonic community in a Changjiang floodplain lake (Lake Chenhu, Hubei, P. R. China) was described for the inundation period of May through September 1983. The modality of the Sheldon-type size distributions changed hydrographically with the spectral profiles being bimodal during low, rising, mid-high and falling water phases, and trimodal soon after filling and shortly before falling. The modal peaks corresponded respectively to the dominant organisms of chlorophytes and nauplii, while the troughs centered on the bacteria and macrocrustacean size classes in the lake. The slope of the normalized biomass spectrum (an index of plankton size distribution) was less than -1.0 for the filling and falling phases or close to -1.0 for the high water period, indicating that the planktonic biomass tended to decrease or evenly distributes across logarithmically ordered size classes, respectively. This observed variation in the size distribution of the plankton community mainly resulted from changes in water levels and contents of particulate inorganic matter (PIM) in the lake.

Interfaces in heterostructures of AlInGaN/GaN/Al2O3

Rutherford backscattering/channeling (RBS/C) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) are used to comprehensively characterize a heterostructure of AlInGaN/GaN/Al2O3(0001). The AlInGaN quaternary layer was revealed to process a high crystalline quality with a minimum yield of 1.4% from RBS/C measurements. The channeling spectrum of (1 (2) under bar 13) exhibits higher dechanneling than that of (0001) at the interface of AlInGaN/GaN. XRD measurements prove a coherent growth of AlInGaN on the GaN template layer. Combining RBS/C and XRD measurements, we found that the interface of GaN/Al2O3 is a nucleation layer, composed of a large amount of disorders and cubic GaN slabs, while the interface of AlInGaN/GaN is free of extra disordering (i.e. compare with the GaN layer). The conclusion is further evidenced by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). (c) 2005 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

黄土干旱区嫁接与地面覆盖对温室黄瓜的增产效应

在日光温室条件下,研究了嫁接与地面覆盖对黄瓜产量、耗水量及水分利用效率的影响。结果表明:(1)嫁接与地面覆盖均可提高黄瓜产量,但嫁接的增产幅度远小于地面覆盖处理;秸秆+地膜覆盖对增加早期产量和总产量均有良好效果,而地膜覆盖对早期产量的形成具有明显的促进作用,而后期产量明显低于秸秆覆盖处理。(2)嫁接与地面覆盖耦合的增产幅度均大于二者各自增产贡献之和,其中以嫁接与秸秆+地膜覆盖的耦合增产效果最佳,地膜覆盖与秸秆覆盖次之。(3)嫁接黄瓜的耗水量高于未嫁接与各地面覆盖处理,其中以地膜覆盖最节水,秸秆+地膜覆盖与秸秆覆盖次之。嫁接与地面覆盖均能提高水分利用率,其中以秸秆+地膜覆盖最高,嫁接最低。嫁接与各地面覆盖对水分利用效率的协同效应均大于加和效应,其中以嫁接与秸秆+地膜覆盖的协同效应最佳。

小麦/玉米苗期磷累积量对介质供磷水平反应的差异

小麦和玉米苗期是磷素营养的关键期和敏感期,研究两种作物苗期对介质供磷反应,可为合理施用磷肥提供参考。试验设缺磷对照、低磷胁迫、中等磷胁迫和正常供磷(P_2O_5含量分别为0、0.05mmol·L~(-1)、0.3mmol·L~(-1)和0.5mmol·L~(-1))4种磷水平,选取小麦"小偃22号"、"兰考4号"和玉米"屯玉65号"、"户单4号"为指标作物,用营养液培养法研究小麦、玉米苗期磷累积量对介质不同供磷水平的反应差异。结果表明,不同介质供磷水平下,两种作物苗期磷累积量显著不同且因作物类型、基因型、器官及测定时期不同而异。总体而言,介质供磷后,苗期早期生长阶段(出苗后25d以前),小麦的介质最佳供磷水平较玉米高;苗期后期(出苗后40～50d),小麦和玉米最佳供磷水平一致。如果以低磷胁迫作为对比进行分析,玉米苗期整株磷累积量对介质供磷的敏感性比小麦强;从不同基因型来看:"兰考4号"对介质供磷的敏感性强于"小偃22号","屯玉65号"和"户单4号"基本一致。缺磷条件下小麦较玉米磷效率高,供磷条件下玉米较小麦高;但不同基因型间规律性较差。
