云南省稻瘟病菌无毒基因的地理分布(英文)

了解稻瘟病菌无毒基因的出现频率及分布,有助于制定有效的合理利用持有不同抗性基因的水稻品种及在多样性种植系统中抗性基因的组合的策略。本文对在云南省11个地(州)采集的稻瘟病菌中无毒基因的出现频率及地理分布进行分析,并利用持有20个抗性基因的水稻单基因系对供试的467个稻瘟病菌株的致病型进行鉴定。结果表明,稻瘟病菌无毒基因在云南省10个地(州)的出现频率差异不显著,而无毒基因在西双纳版纳的出现频率与其它10个地(州)的出现频率之间差异显著;无毒基因Avr-Pi9、Avr-Piz 和 Avr-Pizt 在11个地(州)的稻瘟病菌中出现频率最高,它们的平均检出率在80%以上。本研究结果表明,水稻遗传多样性的组成和分布对于水稻稻瘟病菌遗传多样性的形成和保持比气候和其它环境条件更重要。通过无毒基因的平均出现频率,可将无毒基因划分为4个类群,不同类群的无毒基因出现频率差异显著,而同一类群中的无毒基因出现频率的差异不显著。本研究结果将为水稻抗性基因的评价及稻瘟病有效防控提供有用的信息。     

Insertal Orientation Has No Influence on the Expression of gfp Gene and the Growth of the Host Synechococcus sp. PCC7942

In transgenic process, a foreign gene can be integrated in the host genome in two directions, which may influence its expression. In order to study the effects of insertal orientation, the gfp reporter gene was inserted in the isiAB locus of Synechococcus sp.PCC7942 in different directions, and the GFP expression levels and the growth of the transgenic algae were compared. It was showed that the gfp gene could express in each direction, and no significant difference was detected on algal growth and GFP expression levels between the two recombinant algae.     

Preliminary study on mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene sequences and phylogeny of flatfishes （Pleuronectiformes）

A 605 bp section of mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene from Paralichthys olivaceus, Pseudorhombus cinnamomeus, Psetta maxima and Kareius bicoloratus, which represent 3 families of Order Pleuronectiformes was amplified by PCR and sequenced to show the molecular systematics of Pleuronectiformes for comparison with related gene sequences of other 6 flatfish downloaded from GenBank. Phylogenetic analysis based on genetic distance from related gene sequences of 10 flatfish showed that this method was ideal to explore the relationship between species, genera and families. Phylogenetic trees set-up is based on neighbor-joining, maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods that accords to the general rule of Pleuronectiformes evolution. But they also resulted in some confusion. Unlike data from morphological characters, P olivaceus clustered with K.bicoloratus, but P cinnamomeus did not cluster with t3. olivaceus, which is worth further studying.     

剑尾鱼IgM基因的克隆及免疫对其组织表达的影响

以免疫两周的剑尾鱼为材料,提取脾脏总RNA,通过逆转录-聚合酶链式反应(RT-PCR)扩增出分泌型免疫球蛋白M(secretory immunoglobulin M,sIgM)重链基因的核心序列,再应用3’和5’快速扩增cDNA末端(RACE)方法扩增其末端序列,拼接后获得剑尾鱼sIgM重链全长cDNA序列。全长序列含有免疫球蛋白的信号序列:FKCIANH,得到的5个可变区序列可能来源于4个不同的VH家族。经用半定量RT-PCR分析sIgM在脾脏和头肾的表达变化,初步认为利用剑尾鱼头肾sIgM的mRNA表达变化替代检测血清抗体效价具有可能性。

Relationship of minimum winter temperature and temperature seasonality to the northern range limit and species richness of trees in North America

Biologists have considered both winter coldness and temperature seasonality as major determinants of the northern limits of plants and animals in the Northern Hemisphere,which in turn drive the well-known latitudinal diversity gradient.However,few studies have tested which of the two climate variables is the primary determinant.In this study,we assess whether winter coldness or temperature seasonality is more strongly associated with the northern latitudinal limits of tree species and with tree species richness in North Amedca.Tree species were recorded in each of 1198 quadrats of 110 km × 110 km in North America.We used correlation and regression analyses to assess the relationship of the latitude of the northern boundary of each species,and of species richness per quadrat,with winter coldness and temperature seasonality.Species richness was analyzed within 38 longitudinal,i.e.,north-south,bands (each being ＞1100 km long and 110 km wide).The latitudes of the north-ern range limits of tree species were three times better correlated with minimum temperatures at those latitudes than with temperature seasonality.On average,minimum temperature and temperature seasonality together explained 81.5％ of the variation in the northern range limits of the tree species examined,and minimum temperature uniquely explained six-fold (33.7％versus 5.8％) more of this variation than did temperature seasonality.Correlations of tree species richness with minimum temperatures were stronger than correlations with tempera-ture seasonality for most of the longitudinal bands analyzed.Compared to temperature sea-sonality,winter coldness is more strongly associated with species distributions at high lati-tudes,and is likely a more important driver of the latitudinal diversity gradient.     

Geomorphic connectivity and its application for understanding landscape complexities: a focus on the hydro-geomorphic systems of India

Geomorphic processes operate at multiple spatio-temporal scales and different levels of hierarchy. It is therefore necessary to understand the linkages of landscapes across various scales and levels to gain insights into their interactions and feedbacks. Connectivity is an emergent property of the hydro-geomorphic systems, and it is gradually evolving into a unifying concept in geomorphology. The connectivity approach has the potential to be applied extensively to diverse hydro-geomorphic systems of India to understand their complexity as well as for designing effective management practices for river systems and wetlands, optimizing water resources for agriculture, and monitoring and restoration of habitats. Studies on connectivity, particularly in geomorphic context, have been growing steadily in India, albeit at a much slower pace compared to the global trends. This article undertakes a brief overview of the global developments particularly in terms of providing some clarity among the different types of geomorphic connectivity and their inter-relationships and feedbacks. We then take stock of the connectivity research in India in recent years as applied in different hydrogeomorphic systems across the country. We utilize a number of Indian case studies to illustrate the important developments and applications of connectivity concepts, and also present future perspective of this important field with special relevance to India. © 2020 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Influence of cage farming and environmental parameters on spatio-temporal variability of fish assemblage structure in a tropical reservoir of Peninsular India

Fish assemblage structure in Palair reservoir, a medium tropical reservoir along the river Paleru, a tributary of river Krishna in Southern India, was studied along the spatial gradient of the impoundment. The abundance and assemblage structure of wild fish aggregated around the fish cage units installed in the reservoir were assessed and compared with other sites. Seasonal sampling was carried out and fish community structure in terms of species composition and abundance, trophic guild, niche, tolerance, resilience and conservation status were analyzed. A total of 38 fish species were recorded wherein the family Cyprinidae dominated in the number of species (15) followed by Cichlidae and Channidae (3 each). Margalef richness index (d), Pielou’s evenness index (J’), Simpson’s index (1-λ) and Shannon index (H’) revealed significant variation across different zones. Species richness was maximum in the Site1 (d = 4.44–5.12), whereas the abundance of individuals was maximum at Site4 (H’ = 2.65–2.86) i.e. near cage in the lacustrine zone. The important species contributing to the dissimilarities among the zones were identified and percentage of their contribution was estimated using SIMPER analysis. Trophic guild of fishes indicated the dominance of omnivorous species followed by carnivores, indicating the heterotrophic phase of the reservoir. The spatial and seasonal variations in the fish assemblage structure were tested applying statistical analyses such as PERMANOVA and nMDS. The results indicated a positive impact of cage farming in supporting the wild fish fauna, influencing the large aggregations of fishes around the cages. The temporal variability in the cage-associated fish assemblage was related to recruitment periods of juveniles (e.g. E. maculates and E. suratensis in summer, and S. seenghala in monsoon seasons). The links between fish assemblages and environmental parameters were explored through DISTILM and the deterministic factors for fish abundance in the reservoir were phosphate, pH, dissolved Oxygen, total hardness and depth. The study also indicated the impacts of cage culture with record of accidental escapes of farmed fish to the reservoir system. The baseline information generated and recommendations formulated in the study are crucial for the conservation of fish diversity, fisheries enhancement and management planning of tropical peninsular reservoirs.
