BAO Xiufeng, LIU Jianyong, DU Tao
2013, 4(3): 203-208. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2013.03.016
Abstract:
The growth and survival of the first generation of abalones from inbreeding of and crossing between a wild abalone( Hailiois diversicolor) population sampled from Vietnam( Y) and a cultured population sampled from Zhanjiang,Guangdong Province( Z) in intensive culture conditions were compared. The results showed that there were no significant differences in fertilization rate,hatching rate and larval settlement rate( P >0. 05). However,the cross combinations showed heterosis in larval metamorphosis rate,survival rate and growth at early juvenile,late juvenile and grow-out stages as compared to the self-fertilized groups. The larval metamorphosis rates of direct crossing group YZ,reverse crossing group ZY and YY group were significantly higher than those of the ZZ group. The first generations of the two cross combinations were always significantly higher in shell length and survival rate than those of the two self-fertilized groups at juvenile and grow-out stages( P < 0. 05).At the last sampling date 360 days after fertilization,the YZ,ZY,YY and ZZ groups had the respective shell length of( 51. 6 ± 6. 8) mm,( 49. 9 ± 6. 7) mm,( 44. 3 ± 5. 4) mm and( 41. 7 ± 4. 6) mm,and the respective survival rates of( 87. 8 ± 5. 0) %,( 89. 2 ± 4. 4) %,( 54. 5 ± 2. 8) % and( 73. 1 ± 2. 4) %. The shell length of the YY group was significantly higher than that of the ZZ group( P < 0. 05). However,the survival rate of the YY group was lower than that of the ZZ group( P < 0. 05). The good hetorosis and environmental adaptation of these cross combinations indicated that the cross between genetically different stocks may be an effective way for genetic improvement of small abalone H. diversicolor.

2013, 4(3): 214-219. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2013.03.003
Abstract:
Two strains of E. cloacae carrying New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase 1( NDM-1) gene were isolated clinically and identified by using BioMerieux API identification system to study their drug susceptibility,and the NDM-1 gene from these two strains was identified by PCR. Metal producing enzyme carbapenemase was tested from these two strains by IP/IPI E-test and the drug susceptibility of the strains tested by concentration gradient E-test. The NDM-1 gene was detected in both of the two strains of E. cloacae,and the strains were found resistant to plenty of antibiotics,such as Meropenem,Imipenem,Pyocyanin,Cefotetan,Cefepime,Ceftriaxone,Ceftazidime,Aztreonam,Sulfamethoxazole and Amikacin. The NDM-1 gene plays an important role in drug susceptibility. The patients infected with E. cloacae carrying the NDM-1 are local people of Hainan Province,China,and they have not traveled abroad,suggesting no epidemiological link between this bacterium and that reported overseas. The E. cloacaes identified in Hainan is endemic.

YANG Qin, LUO Lijuan
2013, 4(3): 220-224. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2013.03.006
Abstract:
Anthracnose is the main plant disease of Stylosanthes. Identification of pathogen of the disease is particularly important. Two pathogenic strains of anthracnose were separated by using conventional tissue isolation method,and the rDNA-ITS of the pathogens were amplified by using universal primers ITS1/ITS4. The electrophoresis results showed that the target band was 500 bp approximately. Bioinformatics analysis showed that the two strains were clustered into Colletotrichum gloeosporioides and had 99% homology. Five Stylo species were inoculated with the two pathogenic strains,and the result showed that these 5 stylo species were different in tolerance to anthracnose.

SUN Hongliang, CHEN Mingzhi, GAI Guosheng, YANG Yufen, ZHANG Xianmei, HE Zhenquan
2013, 4(3): 242-245. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2013.03.002
Abstract:
The field runoff pool for field plot experiment was used to study the loss characteristics of phosphorus of surface runoff in the corn field treated with organic manure containing high phosphorus and potassium,and fertilizer calcium superphosphate. The organic manure and the fertilizer calcium superphosphate treatments had a total surface runoff loss of phosphorus of 0. 77 kg·ha-1 and 1. 12 kg·ha-1,respectively under the total rainfall of 415 mm. At low rainfall( 26- 37 mm),the total phosphorus concentrations in the runoff liquid were 0. 725-1. 402 mg·L-1and 0. 677- 1. 903 mg·L-1,respectively,and the total phosphorus losses were 7. 18-37. 62mg and 7. 89- 61. 49 mg,respectively. There was no significant difference between the two treatments. At higher rainfall( 76- 87 mm),the total phosphorus concentration of the runoff liquid in both treatments was 0. 699-1. 238 mg·L-1and 1. 170- 2. 151 mg·L-1,respectively,and the total phosphorus loss was 139. 3-332. 3mg and 159. 4- 454. 1 mg,respectively. The changes in total phosphorus concentration and total phosphorus loss were significantly lower in the organic manure treatment than in the calcium superphosphate treatment. However,the active phosphorus concentration of the runoff liquid was higher in the organic manure treatment( 0. 091-0. 359 mg·L-1) than in the calcium superphosphate treatment( 0. 066-0. 327 mg·L-1),but there was no significant difference between these two treatments.

ZHUANG Shujuan, LIU Yuming, MA Lijuan, WENG Ping
2013, 4(3): 246-250,256. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2013.03.012
Abstract:
The shoot tips of the bulbs of Gladiolus hybrids were selected as explants for tissue culture. They were cultured on MS medium containing 1- 1. 5 mg·L-1BA and 0. 1- 0. 15 mg·L-1NAA and induced to produce clustered buds. The clustered shoots were proliferated 3 to 4 times every 25 days after the clustered buds were subcultured. Rootless plantlets formed a strong root system on the 1 /2 MS culture medium supplemented with 0. 3 mg·L-1NAA in 15 to 20 days,and then produced in vitro bulbs after 3 to 4 months of subculture. Virus detection showed that the in vitro bulbs of 5 varieties of G. hybrids were free of bean yellow mosaic virus( BYMV),cucumber mosaic virus( CMV),tobacco ring spot virus( TRSV) and broad bean wilt virus( BBWV). These virus- free in vitro bulbs( initial bulbs) were cultivated in the net house for propagation of G. hybrids. The virus-free bulbs propagated from the bulbs in the net house can be used for commercial cultivation in the field.

LIU Rui, GAO Qian, DUAN Changqing, PAN Qiuhong
2013, 4(3): 251-256. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2013.03.013
Abstract:
The concentrations of 4 organic acids in the berries of Vitis vinifera ‘Cabernet Sauvignon’and V.vinifera. ‘Chardonnay’subjected to rain-shelter cultivation and open cultivation were assessed by using high performance liquid chromatography. The expression of VvIdnDH encoding L-Idonate Dehydrogenase,a key enzyme involved in tartaric acid biosynthesis,was analyzed through Real-time PCR. The results showed that rainshelter cultivation significantly increased the contents of tartaric acid,malic acid and oxalic acid in developing‘Cabernet Sauvignon’grape berries,but no significant difference in contents of these organic acids at harvest was observed between the two cultivation ways. Rain-shelter cultivation almost did not change the level of the four organic acids of‘Chardonnay’grape berries as compared to the open cultivation. Analysis of the expression of VvIdnDH revealed that gene expression in young berries was significantly up-regulated owing to rain-shelter cultivation and that the transcript abundance was maintained at a certain level during the following development,which may be a main reason for a high level of tartaric acid in developing grapes under rain-shelter cultivation.This work will not only provide some guidelines for the improvement of the rain-shelter cultivation in production of wine grapes,but also help to uncover the mechanism of tartaric acid accumulation in grape berries.

2013, 4(3): 257-260. doi: 10.15886/j.cnki.rdswxb.2013.03.004
Abstract:
The 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl( DPPH) system and phenanthroline-Fe2+ reaction system were used to estimate the activity of the crude polysaccharide( cAMP),the partially purified polysaccharide( AMP),and two purified polysaccharides( AMP-Ⅰ,AMP-Ⅲ) from Allium macrosttemon Bge. against the free radicals.The results indicated that four types of Allium macrosttemon polysaccharides had the ability to scavenge DPPH radicals and hydroxyl radicals. The scavenging effects increased with the concentration. The cAMP had the highest scavenging effect on the free radicals,whereas AMP and the lower molecular-weight polysaccharide( AMP-Ⅰ) had similar scavenging effect on the radicals.
