野生型与红色型坛紫菜杂交嵌合体及选育的研究

以坛紫菜Porphyra haitanensis的红色型为父本,野生型为母本进行杂交,获得了不同色泽嵌合和不同嵌合方式的突变体;从中挑选出4株典型的嵌合体进行单株培养,并通过体细胞酶解,获得完整的单色突变体,然后对这些藻体进行生长发育和经济性状的比较,其结果如下:(1)杂交嵌合体的类型:红色和绿色嵌合、红色和褐黄色嵌合、翠绿色和野生色嵌合、红色和橘黄色嵌合;(2)嵌合的方式:斑点状嵌合、条状嵌合、线状嵌合、"V"字型嵌合和片状嵌合等;(3)各单色突变体的生长差异显著,红色突变体的藻体长度和鲜重增长较快,3~4 cm的幼苗在实验室培养11~15 d,日增长量为8.5~9.6 cm/d,日增重(鲜重)为0.120~0.128 g/d,明显高于其他突变体,具有较好的杂交优势和生产应用前景;(4)在高温26~31℃培养各单色突变体,耐高温能力较强的是红色突变体和绿色突变体,两者在29℃时培养10 d和30℃时培养6~7 d时,叶片出现点状腐烂,但整株藻体仍完整;褐绿色突变体和传统栽培对照组的藻体对高温的耐受能力较差,在26℃培养6 d以上就完全腐烂.以上研究结果可为坛紫菜杂交嵌合体生物学研究以及杂交优势品系的选育提供科学参考.     

古尔班通古特沙漠生物结皮小尺度分异的环境特征

古尔班通古特沙漠广泛存在的生物结皮,对地貌部位有极强的选择性分布,其实质是生物对环境条件综合适应的一种生态表现。2002年3~11月在个体沙丘表面初步开展了生物结皮类型小尺度环境分异规律研究。结果表明:苔藓结皮、地衣结皮和藻类结皮依次分布于垄间、沙垄两坡中部和坡上部,从垄间往垄顶,生物结皮盖度逐渐减小,厚度变薄,抗压性减弱。苔藓结皮分布区的物质组成以细沙和极细沙为主,春季表层土壤水分在5%以上,短命植物广泛发育,基质稳定;坡中部的地衣结皮分布区以细沙为主,春季表层土壤水分在4%左右,短命植物亦有广泛分布,地表受风沙活动影响较小;沙垄上部和顶部的藻类结皮分布区,是沙垄表面活动性最强和土壤水分最差的区域,物质组成以中沙为主,高等植物中白梭梭为优势种,可见藻结皮是三类结皮中最能适应恶劣环境的生物结皮类型。     

Movement patterns and trajectories of ovigerous blue crabs Callinectes sapidus during the spawning migration

Female blue crabs (Callinectes sapidus Rathbun) migrate from low salinity estuarine regions to high salinity regions near the ocean to release larvae. During this migration, ovigerous females use ebb-tide transport, a vertical migratory behavior in which they ascend into the water column during ebb tides, to move seaward to larval release areas. In order to determine the relationship of ebb-tide vertical migrations to local currents and the influence of these vertical migrations on the horizontal transport of blue crabs in the estuary, ovigerous females with mature embryos (1–3 days from hatching) were tracked near Beaufort Inlet, North Carolina (USA), in July and August 2001 and 2002. Crabs were tagged and tracked using ultrasonic telemetry, and currents near the crabs were measured simultaneously with a shipboard acoustic Doppler current profiler.During the two seasons, eight crabs were successfully tracked for periods ranging from 3.9–37.0 h and for distances ranging from 1.9–10.6 km. All crabs migrated seaward during the tracking periods. Crabs moved episodically during all tidal phases with periods of movement on the order of minutes to an hour. They moved with local currents in terms of both speed and direction during ebb tides, consistent with ebb-tide transport, and moved down-estuary (seaward) in opposition to local currents during flood tides. The percentage of time that crabs were active was higher during night ebb tides than during day ebb tides or flood tides and increased with increasing ebb-tide current speed. Mean migratory speeds were 0.11, 0.04, 0.08 and 0.02 m s⁻¹ during night ebb, night flood, day ebb and day flood tides, respectively, and net migratory speeds were on the order of 5 km day⁻¹. Due to the episodic nature of the crabs' movements, the total distances that crabs traveled during ebb tides ranged from 10–40% of the distances that passive particles could have traveled under the same conditions.     

离子水合力与电荷号大小的顾函数标度

“水汽化学”这一门新科学已由顾宏堪实验室通过超痕量分析发现并创立。顾函数表明,水蒸发为水汽时携带的痕量金属离子的浓度,正相关于比电子亲和常数Iz／Z,负相关于离子体积V和配位数N。而这一键参数函数相当于量子力学Schrodinger方程中的电子位函数。同为正二价的不同离子,水一汽转移的浓度可以有较大的差异,表明不同的正二价离子与水的引力（水合力）有所不同,此差别可通过顾函数以相对能量值或“＋”号的大小标出。     

Selective grazing by cattle on spatially and seasonally heterogeneous rangeland in Sahel

The selective use by cattle of range resources in the Sahel was assessed in terms of quantity and nutritional quality of the herbage grazed and diet selected. Peak standing crop was 1951 kg ha⁻¹dry matter (DM) with 47·9 kg nitrogen (N) ha⁻¹and 7·4 kg phosphorus (P) ha⁻¹. Esophageally fistulated cattle diets were consistently (p<0·05) higher in N, P and organic matter digestibility (OMD) than the herbage grazed. Cattle consumed 48% of the mean annual herbage production. The results indicate grazing ruminants select a higher quality diet from Sahelian rangelands than can be predicted on the basis of pasture evaluation alone. Therefore, the foraging behaviour of the animals needs to be considered in the evaluation of Sahelian rangelands for animal production.

马氏珠母贝养殖群体的生长特性研究

从养殖于深圳大亚湾海区的3月龄马氏珠母贝Pinctada martensii养殖群体中挑出较大和较小个体的贝分为2个组,分别命名为大个体组和小个体组,以同样的方式进行养殖,在3—12月龄间每隔1—2月对其生长进行测量;同时取12月龄的贝200个编号进行个体生长测量,到16月龄结束。经t检验,大个体组贝在各个测量阶段4个性状(壳长、高、宽和体重)都显著大于小个体组(p<0.01),大个体组日增长幅度在3—9月龄也大于小个体组;经最小显著差法分析,个体测量的3个亚组间大小存在显著差异(p<0.01),顺序为Ⅰ(Ⅰ’)<Ⅱ(Ⅱ’)<Ⅲ(Ⅲ’),但其日增长量为Ⅰ(Ⅰ’)>Ⅱ(Ⅱ’)>Ⅲ(Ⅲ’),同时显示出初始值较大的个体在后期仍有较大的增长趋势,但个别初始值较小的个体增长快,在生长后期个体也很大。3—9月龄贝的大小平均增长率大于11—16月龄贝,而体重增长要小于11—16月龄贝。该研究结果对选择育种中亲本的选留、珍珠生产中植核贝的选留具有较大的指导作用。

Quick clay—A case study of chemical perspective in Southwest Sweden

Quick clay, a soil that changes from normal firm ground to a liquid mass when it is disturbed, has been involved in most of the large and serious clay slides in Sweden, Norway and Canada. The location, time of occurrence and size of quick clay slides are difficult to predict and large slides may cause great devastation. Some geochemical studies of Swedish quick clay were done in the 1960s and early 1970s, but no systematic studies of the interrelationships of pore water chemistry, mineralogy, geotechnical properties and other parameters on quick clays in Sweden have been published. Such studies are of national and general interest because of the many combinations of rock flour source areas and sedimentation conditions that occurred across central Sweden and into the Baltic Sea area during deglaciation. In this study, geotechnical properties related to the in situ chemistry at one quick clay site were extensively studied, and spot sampling was conducted at two other locations in Southwest Sweden. In this area the clay minerals mainly are non-expanding phyllosilicate minerals (illite) and primary minerals (quartz, feldspar), which is consistent with previous studies of quick clay mineralogy. Extensive leaching has occurred at all three locations. At the extensively studied site, Surte, the lowest salinity was found at the greatest depth, inferring that the leaching by fresh water was accomplished by water movement upward and laterally through the sediment from the underlying bedrock. This is consistent with the local setting where bedrock hills rise sharply to over 100 m above the marine sediment surface. An artesian pressure would also be anticipated at this location. There is a correlation (negative) between sensitivity and salinity but there is an indication that the maximum salinity or electrical conductivity consistent with the quick clay behaviour is higher than reported elsewhere. However, for high sensitivities the salinity is about the same as reported elsewhere. In the deepest part of the borehole, there is a higher content of Fe and Al in the pore water, indicating reduced state. Further work is needed to confirm the difference in salinity and to investigate the possible interplay of salinity and potential dispersing agents such as the role of anoxic conditions, in this region. Further work is especially needed in the locations where the sediment accumulation occurred under lower salinity conditions. At all three locations, high remoulded shear strength and low sensitivity have been seen near the surface together with a decrease in pore water cation concentrations.
