A hybrid Lagrangian-Eulerian numerical model for sea-ice dynamics

A hybrid Lagrangian-Eulerian(HLE) method is developed for sea ice dynamics,which combines the high computational efficiency of finite difference method(FDM) with the high numerical accuracy of smoothed particle hydrodynamics(SPH).In this HLE model,the sea ice cover is represented by a group of Lagrangian ice particles with their own thicknesses and concentrations.These ice variables are interpolated to the Eularian gird nodes using the Gaussian interpolation function.The FDM is used to determine the ice velocities at Eulerian grid nodes,and the velocities of Lagrangian ice particles are interpolated from these grid velocities with the Gaussian function also.The thicknesses and concentrations of ice particles are determined based on their new locations.With the HLE numerical model,the ice ridging process in a rectangular basin is simulated,and the simulated results are validated with the analytical solution.This method is also applied to the simulation of sea ice dynamics in a vortex wind field.At last,this HLE model is applied to the Bohai Sea,and the simulated concentration,thickness and velocity match the satellite images and the field observed data well.     

杂交鲆（牙鲆♀×夏鲆♂）胚胎发育的初步观察

通过人工调控促使亲本牙鲆（Paralichthys olivaceus）♀×夏鲆（Paralichthys dentatus）舍的性腺发育，人工干法授精获得杂交受精卵。杂交受精卵在温度为16．5～17．5℃，光照为100-400lx，微充气条件下孵化。对杂交鲆胚胎发育全过程进行连续观察并与牙鲆度夏鲆的胚胎发育进行比较。结果表明：杂交鲆卵裂方式与其他大部分硬骨鱼类一样，属于盘状卵裂。受精后经过2h30min进入2细胞期，7h45min进入囊胚期，15h10min进入原肠胚阶段，25h30min进入神经胚期，49h左右进入尾芽期。授精后63h左右发现初孵仔鱼，68h左右50％的仔鱼孵出。在杂交鲆的胚胎发育中，主要有2个发育特征与母本类似而与父本不同：视囊的出现要早于体节的分化；孵化前，仔鱼在卵膜内环绕卵黄囊不到1周。但是在其孵化时间上却与父本相似。     

利用RAPD和ISSR引物对三系杂交水稻及其父母本的鉴定

为了鉴定杂交种子与父母本的亲缘关系,用20条随机引物和21条ISSR引物在供试的一组三系杂交水稻F1、父母本及对照进行扩增。20条RAPD引物共扩增出78个条带,其中28条为多态性条带;21条ISSR引物共扩增出72个条带,其中多态性条带为20条。将这些多态性条带进行聚类分析,F1与父、母亲缘关系较近归为一类,随后它们才与对照归为一类。结果表明RAPD和ISSR引物的PCR扩增均能有效地鉴定三系杂交水稻的杂种F1与组合中父、母本的遗传关系。与RAPD相比ISSR引物在三系杂交水稻及其父母本的鉴定中具有稳定性更好的优点。

静水压法人工诱导牙鲆(♀)×圆斑星鲽(♂)杂交三倍体的探索

开展了牙鲆(Paralichthys olivaceus)(♀)和圆斑星鲽(Verasper variegatus)(♂)杂交,通过静水压抑制受精卵第二极体的释放来诱导杂交三倍体,设计单因素分析实验,筛选出当前试验条件下的最佳诱导条件。结果表明:静水压法可成功诱导出杂交三倍体,诱导率主要受到受精后处理起始时刻、处理压强和压强处理时间3个因素的影响。静水压法的最佳诱导条件为:海水温度(15.0±0.2)℃,受精后3 min起,以70 MPa压力处理6 min。此时相对孵化率为(24.06±1.10)%,利用倍性分析仪对其进行倍性鉴定,三倍体率为(26.67±6.67)%。染色体分析表明,三倍体胚胎的染色体数目为71条,对照组二倍体胚胎的染色体数目为47条。还发现有少量染色体数目为24条的单倍体胚胎。研究结果为鲆鲽鱼类异源多倍体的培育提供了参考。     

九孔鲍养殖群体与野生群体杂交一代生长比较

Transposon mutagenesis of Psychrobacter cryohalolentis PAMC 21807 by tri-parental conjugation

Random mutagenesis is commonly used to study gene function. The screening of mutants exhibiting specific pheno- types assists in the identification of phenotype-related genes. In the current study, we isolated Antarctic bacteria, and developed a transposon Tn5 mutagenesis system. A total of 26 strains were isolated from seawater and freshwater near Antarctic King Sejong Research Station, King George Island. Six Psychrobacter strains were identified as psychrophilic, with optimal growth tempera- tures of 10~C or 15~C Psychrobacter cryohalolentis PAMC 21807 with a high growth rate at 4~C was selected for transposon mutagenesis. Tri-parental conjugation with a plasmid containing Tn5 produced 13 putative recombinants containing the selectable marker. Genomic Southern hybridization confirmed Tn5 existed as episomes for seven recombinants, and for a single recombinant, Tn5 was integrated into the genome of Psychrobacter cryohalolentis PAMC 21807. The result indicates that the mutagenesis method, although successful, has a relatively low rate. The psychrophilic bacteria isolated in this study may be a useful resource for studying cold adaptation mechanisms, and the mutagenesis method can be applied to genetic analysis.
