The differences among the treatments were examined using the RAPID procedure. In the study done by using 38 primers; according to the amplification results, the differences among the various doses treatment were shown.

甜高粱在青海高原种植的初步研究；Preliminary study on sweet sorghum growing on Qinghai Plateau

为探讨甜高粱(Sorghum bicolor)在青海作为饲料作物种植的可能性,在青海高原上做了初步试验,结果显示:密度对茎秆高度、茎粗、产量有显著影响,对生育期、单株质量影响不显著,株行距为0.40 m×0.20m时,产量最高;浇水次数对甜高粱的生育期、茎秆高度、茎粗、单株质量、产量没有显著影响,表明甜高粱对水分依赖不高,具有很强的耐旱和抗旱性;地膜对甜高粱有极显著影响,使其生育期提前,茎秆高度增高,单株质量增加、产量提高;糖分含量在开花-收获期为15.93%~16.67%,比不盖地膜增加了29.19%~47.98%;大田示范密度0.50 m×0.20 m,开花-收获期666.7 m2产量达4 890.8 kg,投入产出比为1∶1.78,效益显著。研究表明,在青海高原东部农业区盖地膜种植饲用甜高粱,用作饲料是完全可行的。

聚乙二醇模拟干旱对甜高粱幼苗丙二醛、脯氨酸含量的影响；Effects of Drought Stress Simulated by PEG on Malonaldehyde and Proline Contents of Sweet Sorghum Seedlings

以甜高粱品种KFJT-CK及经过碳离子辐照选育出的早熟突变株KFJT-1为材料,用浓度分别为5%,10%和15%的聚乙二醇(PEG)6000模拟干旱对其进行胁迫处理,测定丙二醛(MDA)及脯氨酸(Pro)的含量。随着胁迫时间的延长和胁迫程度的增加,MDA含量持续升高;Pro含量在5%和10%PEG胁迫下持续升高,在15%PEG胁迫下先升高后降低。表明碳离子辐照可能使甜高粱膜脂过氧化特性发生改变,影响Pro的表达。为进一步研究碳离子束辐照对甜高粱的耐旱生理提供一定的基础,并为下一步的育种工作提供有用的参考。

NaCl胁迫对甜高粱幼苗保护酶活性等生理特性的影响

采用不同浓度NaCl溶液(100 mmol/L、200 mmol/L)胁迫处理甜高粱幼苗,测定了叶片中叶绿素含量、脯氨酸含量及三种保护酶活性等生理指标。结果表明:100 mmol/L和200 mmol/L处理的甜高粱幼苗质膜相对透性、脯氨酸和丙二醛含量升高;可溶性蛋白和叶绿素含量降低;保护酶系统中叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)和过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性均升高,且在100 mmol/L浓度处理下达到最大,而过氧化物酶(POD)活性呈先升高再降低趋势。NaCl胁迫对甜高粱幼苗的一些生理特性产生一定影响。

重离子辐照甜高粱新品种选育及其诱变机理研究

利用重离子辐照技术对甜高粱种子进行不同剂量的诱变处理，并分析辐照后代的农艺性状、生理生化特性及基因组DNA的多态性差异，旨在选育出含糖量高、生物量高及抗逆性强的新品种，为发展生物质燃料乙醇产业提供优质的原料，并阐明重离子对甜高粱的诱变机理。主要结果如下： 1.甜高粱在田间的存活曲线表现为“类马鞍型”，随着辐照剂量的增加，其存活率先降后升再下降。 2.筛选出株高、单秆重、糖锤度、早熟型、茎粗等突变类型的材料，尤其是80Gy辐照剂量下从BJ0602中得到的早熟突变材料KFJT-1，生育期缩短了20天左右。 3.和未辐照株KFJT-CK相比，辐照突变株KFJT-1的萌芽指标表现为极显著差异（p＜0.01），其发芽势、发芽指数、活力指数和子叶长度、胚根鲜重及子叶鲜重分别下降了24％、12.69％、0.8108％和15.32％、76.27％、27.08％。 4. 利用RAPD技术对不同剂量的辐照处理检测出的多态性差异表明，不同剂量的碳离子束辐照后，不同辐照剂量对应的5种处理材料的DNA突变率分别0％、11.4％、12.2％、18.7％和17.7％。 重离子辐照可引起甜高粱各个方向的突变，有些突变材料生物量和含糖量均高，而有些突变材料表现出生长点消失、叶片扭曲、黄化等表型性状

经碳离子束诱变的甜高粱汁酒精发酵高产菌株的研究

为了选育出适合发酵甜高粱汁来生产酒精的酵母菌株，本论文以酒精酵母Saccharomyces cerevisiae YY为材料，利用兰州近代物理研究所重离子研究装置（HIRFL）产生的100MeV/u碳离子束对酒精酵母进行了辐照诱变。采用红四氮唑（TTC）作为筛选指示剂，初筛得到了5株产酒能力有所提高的突变酵母菌。通过甜高粱汁发酵，测定发酵液中酒精含量和残糖，复筛出产酒精能力比出发菌株有明显提高的诱变菌株T4。并对其发酵条件进行了优化，以期获得的结果能够为甜高粱汁工业化生产酒精提供参考数据。通过本论文的研究，得到以下初步结果： 1. 在甜高粱汁培养基中，酒精酵母YY的对数生长期在8-20h之间，此时菌体的生长繁殖比较旺盛，活力最佳，为辐照诱变的最佳时期。辐照后，菌体的存活率随辐照剂量的增加呈现出逐渐衰减的趋势。 2. 红四氮唑TTC是一种无色显色指示剂，活菌中所含的脱氢酶可将它还原成红色，因此可以根据菌落呈色的深浅判断酵母菌产酒精能力的高低，从而挑选出产酒能力较高的菌株。本试验用TTC双层培养基法初步筛选出了利用甜高粱汁发酵生产酒精能力较强的T4酵母菌株。 3. 对影响T4菌发酵甜高粱汁生产酒精的几个主要因素（甜高粱汁糖度、接种量、温度、pH、无机盐）进行了初步探讨研究，得出了T4菌发酵甜高粱汁生产酒精的最适条件为：甜高粱汁糖度22%，接种量10%，温度30oC,pH 4.5 ,无机盐加入量为:（NH4）2SO4 1g/L，KH2PO4 5g/L，MgSO4 3g/L。 4. 对发酵条件进行优化后的中试结果显示：出发菌株YY发酵甜高粱汁的时间为36h，酒精产量为8.6% (V/V) ，而T4突变菌甜高粱汁发酵液中的最终酒精含量可以达到9.8%，发酵时间仅为24h。因此，T4菌在工业应用中很有前景

Potential CO2 Emission Reduction by Development of Non-Grain-Based Bioethanol in China

Assessment of the potential CO2 emission reduction by development of non-grain-based ethanol in China is valuable for both setting up countermeasures against climate change and formulating bioethanol policies. Based on the land occupation property, feedstock classification and selection are conducted, identifying sweet sorghum, cassava, and sweet potato as plantation feedstocks cultivated from low-quality arable marginal land resources and molasses and agricultural straws as nonplantation feedstocks derived from agricultural by-products. The feedstock utilization degree, CO2 reduction coefficient of bioethanol, and assessment model of CO2 emission reduction potential of bioethanol are proposed and established to assess the potential CO2 emission reduction by development of non-grain-based bioethanol. The results show that China can obtain emission reduction potentials of 10.947 and 49.027 Mt CO2 with non-grain-based bioethanol in 2015 and 2030, which are much higher than the present capacity, calculated as 1.95 Mt. It is found that nonplantation feedstock can produce more bioethanol so as to obtain a higher potential than plantation feedstock in both 2015 and 2030. Another finding is that developing non-grain-based bioethanol can make only a limited contribution to China's greenhouse gas emission reduction. Moreover, this study reveals that the regions with low and very low potentials for emission reduction will dominate the spatial distribution in 2015, and regions with high and very high potentials will be the majority in 2030.
