Characteristics of Vegetation Carbon,Nitrogen, and C/N Ratio in a Tamarix chinensis Coastal Wetland of China

Variations in carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) of the vegetation in a Tamarix chinensis coastal wetland located in Laizhou Bay, China, are analyzed. It is found that T. chinensis accumulates more C and N than the surrounding herbs, and it allocates more C and N in the aboveground parts but less in the roots. Branches store more C, whereas leaves and flowers accumulate more N than other tissues. The C and N contents in the aboveground parts of T. chinensis are mainly influenced by pH, electrical conductivity (EC), water content, and clay content in the top 100 cm of soil as well as the distance from the sea. For the herbs, their C contents vary little in the supratidal zone, but they are higher than those in the intertidal zone. However, N contents in the herbs are higher in the aboveground parts and varied among different communities. The contents of C and N in the herbs are affected by EC, water content as well as the contents of organic C and total nitrogen (TN) in the top 10 cm of soil. The findings confirm that increasing the biomass of T. chinensis is an effective way to increase C sequestration in temperate coastal wetland.     

不同种植方式下柽柳光合生理参数光响应特性研究

为选择合适的间套模式,在塔干沙漠南缘绿洲外围利用Li-6400光合作用仪对四种种植模式(行间混交、带状混交、块状混交、块状套作)下多年生多枝柽柳(Tamarix ramasissima ledeb.)的光合水分生理指标对有效光辐射(PAR)的响应进行测定。结果表明:(1)柽柳具有高光饱和点(679~822μmol·m^-2·s^-1)和高光补偿点(50.0~61.1μmol·m^-2·s^-1)。(2)不同的光照强度和种植方式对柽柳净光合速率有明显的影响(p<0.01),当0< PAR< 1500μmol·m^-2·s^-1,除胞间CO₂浓度(Ci)外柽柳的各项生理指标均随光照的增强而增加。(3) PAR>1500μmol·m^-2·s^-1后,块状套作和块状混交气孔导度(Gs)下降,行间混交和带状混交Gs则随光强增加而递增;带状混交下胞间CO₂浓度(Ci)和蒸腾速率(Tr)均随光强增加而递增,其他3种种植方式下Ci和Tr均呈递减或平稳趋势。(4) 4种种植方式下柽柳光响应曲线的特征参数存在着差异(P<0.05),带状混交下的光饱和速率、光饱和点、表观量子效率均最高,块状混交的暗呼吸速率最大,水分利用效率(WUE)随着光强的增强而逐步增大,依次表现为带状混交>块状混交>行间混交>块状套作。通过4种种植方式柽柳光响应特征的综合分析可知,带状混交下的柽柳具有高光合和高水分利用效率的特点,对于极端干旱的塔南地区而言,该种植方式下的柽柳生理特征表现出最好的适应性。     

罗布泊地区红柳沙包年层的研究意义

红柳沙包是干旱区发育的一种生物地貌类型。罗布泊地区的红柳沙包主要分布在塔里木河、孔雀河、米兰河等三角洲地带。通过研究发现其巾有些沙包具有清晰的“年层”构造,与树木年轮一样,具有计年和储存环境信息的功能,可以用来探讨和恢复过去气候和环境变化。但由于红柳生长发育规律和研究区环境的复杂性,利用红柳沙包年层在研究环境演变,在理论和实践上都有待进一步完善和提高。     

Peptidomic analysis of Chinese shrimp (Fenneropenaeus chinensis) hemolymph by magnetic bead-based MALDI-TOF MS

Peptides in shrimp hemolymph play an important role in the innate immune response.Analysis of hemolymph will help to detect and identify potential novel biomarkers of microbial infection.We used magnetic bead-based purification(ClinProt system) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF MS) to characterize shrimp hemolymph peptides.Shrimp serum and plasma were used as the source of samples for comparative analysis,and it was found that serum was more suitable for shrimp hemolymph peptidomic analysis.To screen potential specific biomarkers in serum of immune-challenged shrimps,we applied magnetic bead-based MALDI-TOF MS to serum samples from 10 immune-challenged and 10 healthy shrimps.The spectra were analyzed using FlexAnalysis 3.0 and ClinProTools 2.1 software.Thirteen peptide peaks significantly different between the two groups were selected as candidate biomarkers of lipopolysaccharide(LPS)-infection.The diagnostic model established by genetic algorithm using five of these peaks was able to discriminate LPS-challenged shrimps from healthy control shrimps with a sensitivity of 90% and a specificity of 100%.Our approach in MALDITOF MS-based peptidomics is a powerful tool for screening bioactive peptides or biomarkers derived from hemolymph,and will help to enable a better understanding of the innate immune response of shrimps.

柽柳属植物抗旱性能研究及其应用潜力评价

柽柳属植物普遍具抗旱性能,以沙生柽柳为最强。作者从生物生态学特性、水分生理状况及抗水分胁迫的生理机制3方面系统地探讨了柽柳属植物抗旱机制。柽柳叶、营养枝及根、茎的解剖结构均表明,柽柳已形成了一系列适应于干旱环境的旱性器官。柽柳抗旱性能越强,则水势越低,持水力越强。当缓慢水分胁迫时,柽柳体内有脯氨酸、可溶性糖、K⁺、Na⁺的主动积累,共同参与渗透调节。对柽柳抗旱性能的应用潜力进行了评价,指出柽柳是优良防风固沙树种,其柽柳包的"年轮"对揭示当时的生态环境及荒漠环境演变有一定的指示作用。仅分布于流沙地区的沙生柽柳可作为沙漠中的"水源标记"。柽柳具优良的抗逆基因,通过基因工程克隆柽柳抗逆基因并转移到作物和牧草中,必将在维护生态安全、改造生态环境的同时,获得显著的经济效益。
