During 2008–2011 model field experiments were carried out at the Joni?k?lis Experimental Station of Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry on a clay loam Endocalcaric Endogleyic Cambisol. The study was aimed to establish the comparison of various postharvest practices (mineral nitrogen fertilizer alone or together with a bioactivator Penergetic k, livestock slurry, red clover biomass, and straw incorporation in the soil by a stubble cultivator at a 10 cm depth) on the acceleration of the initial (nine-month period) decomposition of winter wheat straw. During this period straw mass decomposition intensity (DIM) was 20.7–29.1%, carbon (C) concentration decreased by 6.5– 22.8%, while an increase occurred in nitrogen (N) 1.1–2.2 times. The highest straw decomposition rate was recorded when after straw incorporation autumn was warm and humid. That year straw mass C to N ratio (C/N) was 38–46. Under less favourable autumn conditions, the highest decomposition of straw was achieved having applied mineral N (with and without Penergetic) and livestock slurry and having incorporated the straw in the soil (C/N = 40–55). A slower decomposition rate was observed for the straw spread on the soil surface with mineral N addition or on undersown red clover.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Naturally derived bioactive compounds with antioxidant activity and mineral component have a positive effect on human health. Consequently, legumes, including perennial species, have been used as healthy food or medicinal plants. Red clover (Trifolium pratense) and lucerne (Medicago sativa) have been researched more thoroughly for food components and supplements than zigzag clover (T. medium), black medick (M. lupulina), liquorice milkvetch (Astragalus glycyphyllos), cicer milkvetch (A. cicer), and sainfoin (Onobrychis viciifolia). However, information is scarce about the distribution of mineral elements and phenolics in plants of these species as well as the antioxidant capacity of their extracts. In this study, we determined the mineral composition and total phenolic concentration in seeds and whole aerial plant parts and morphological fractions of these perennial legumes, as well as the antioxidant activity of extracts of the above-mentioned plant parts. The legume accessions chosen for this study were rich in potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), zinc (Zn), and iron (Fe), especially at branching growth stage, and thus could be used for mineral fortification of staple foods. Astragalus species, particularly seeds of A. glycyphyllos, were the richest source of Fe. Trifolium pratense, T. medium, O. viciifolia, and A. cicer were valuable source of total phenolics and antioxidants. The flower and leaf extracts of red clover exhibited very strong 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activity. In general, the tested perennial legumes and their plant parts have rich mineral composition and bioactive properties, and they can be used as functional ingredients to accommodate the need for a particular mineral element or a bioactive property.  相似文献   

Genotype differencies in direct plant regeneration from stem explants ofPopulus tremula in Turkey

Plant regeneration from 9 clones ofPopulus tremula representing diverse genotypes originated from Turkey, has been studied in different media, such as Murashige and Skoog’s Medium (MS), Aspen Culture Medium (ACM) and Woody Plant Medium (WPM) with appropriate supplements of growth regulators. Regeneration efficiency on WPM containing 1 mg/l zeatin using stem explantsin vitro, was higher than on MS and ACM. In this system, the time required for shoot regeneration was 2 weeks, which was shorter by two weeks than that of previous reports. A strong genotype dependence was observed among the tested nine clones. The regeneration system, we describe here, did not involve the callus phase and thus was less prone to somaclonal variation. When adventitious microshoots were cultured on WPM supplemented with 0.5 mg/l or 2 mg/l indole-3-butyric acid (IBA), root formation was obtained after 1 week of culture. Adaptation of regenerated plantletsin vivo was 100%. This system for micropropagation ofPopulus tremula is expected to be suitable for studies on transformation of genes involved in lignin biosynthesis via modification of lignin content. This study was a part of the Project No. 62-02-001 TUBITAK-MAN-GMBAE named “Investigations on Biogenetically Develop Poplar Clones as a Raw Material for Pulp and Paper Industry” and financially supported by General Management of Turkish Pulp and Paper Mills.  相似文献

Effect of clear-cutting on the understory vegetation,soil and diversity of litter beetles in scots pine-dominated forest     

Laima Česonienė  Remigijus Daubaras  Vytautas Tamutis  Vilma Kaškonienė  Paulius Kaškonas  Vidas Stakėnas 《Journal of Sustainable Forestry》2013,32(8):791-808

Currently, the aim of modern forest management is not only timber production but also the protection of biodiversity. The initial effects of clear-cut logging on forest understory vegetation, soil and the diversity of litter beetles have been studied. We examined unstudied effects of clear-cutting disturbance on understory vascular plant species abundance, forest soils, and understory vegetation nutrients as well as beetle diversity one year after clear-cutting. Substantial changes in the prominence values and above-ground mass of forest-related vascular plant and moss species were detected. Clear-cuttings resulted in fast appearance of new light-loving plant species. The significant decrease in understory plant biomass influenced the reduction of nutrient pools in clear-cut areas after one year. The clear-cut logging negatively influenced the richness of species and the number of individuals of stenobiontic forest-related beetles in the forest litter. However, forest clear-cuttings were beneficial for eurytopic and open land species.  相似文献   

Assessment of sperm quality traits in relation to fertility in boar semen     

Neringa Sutkeviciene  Vita Riskeviciene  Aloyzas Januskauskas  Henrikas Zilinskas  Magnus Andersson 《Acta veterinaria Scandinavica》2009,51(1):53

Background

Several studies have been published where sperm plasma membrane integrity correlated to fertility. In this study we describe a simple fluorometer-based assay where we monitored the fluorescence intensity of artificially membrane-ruptured spermatozoa with a fixed time staining with fluorescent DNA dyes.

Methods

Membrane-impermeant fluorescent dyes Hoechst 33258 (H258) and propidium iodide (PI) were used to measure the fluorescence of the nucleus in artificially membrane ruptured spermatozoa and membrane-permeant dye Hoechst 33342 (H342) was used to measure fluorescence of intact spermatozoa. The concentration of spermatozoa in insemination doses varied from 31.2 × 10⁶/ml to 50 × 10⁶/ml and the average value was 35 × 10⁶/ml. Each boar was represented by three consecutive ejaculates, collected at weekly intervals. Nonreturn rate within 60 days of first insemination (NR %) and litter size (total number of piglets born) of multiparous farrowings were used as fertility measures.

Results

Sperm fluorescence intensity of H258 and H342, but not the fluorescence intensity of PI-stained spermatozoa correlated significantly with the litter size of multiparous farrowings, values being r = - 0.68 (P < 0.01) for H258, r = - 0.69 (P < 0.01) for H342 and r = - 0.38, (P = 0.11) for PI.

Conclusions

The increase in fluorescence values of membrane-ruptured H258 and unruptured H342-stained spermatozoa in boar AI doses can be associated with smaller litter size after AI. This finding indicates that the fluorescence properties of the sperm nucleus could be used to select for AI doses with greater fertilizing potential.  相似文献   

The effects of agrogenic transformation on soil profile morphology,organic carbon and physico-chemical properties in Retisols of Western Lithuania     

Jonas Volungevicius  Kristina Amaleviciute  Dalia Feiziene  Virginijus Feiza  Alvyra Slepetiene  Inga Liaudanskienė 《Archives of Agronomy and Soil Science》2018,64(13):1910-1923

The aim of this study was to determine changes in the morphological, physical and chemical properties of Retisols caused by their agrogenic transformation. The study carried out on Retisols on relatively natural and agrogenically affected land in 2016. Soil samples taken from the genetic horizons of all profiles to measure soil organic carbon, pH, hydromorphic and physical properties. Due to long-term, deep ploughing, the sequence of soil horizons in the Retisol profile had changed from O–Ah–El–ElBt to Ahp–ElBt. Intensive soil liming changed chemical properties and morphological features of Retisol. The clay and silt particles leached out of from the Ah and El horizons to the deeper layers due to illuviation and podsolization. The content of SOC in the 0–30 cm layer of the Ah horizon of agrogenically affected Retisol was 1.0%, and in the forest Retisol – 1.7%; however, forest Retisol was more acidic. Ploughing and no tillage management caused a reduction in total porosity, water holding capacity and plant available water content compared with the other land-uses. We conclude that the use of ploughless tillage on Retisol is not identical to the conditions of natural soil formation and soil fertility maintenance.  相似文献

Long-term soil cultivation at the same depth affects soil characteristics and crop productivity. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of a long-term different intensity soil tillage methods and deep loosening on weed number, weed agrobiological group and soil seed bank changes in till Bathygleyic Dystric Glossic Retisol soil under the climatic conditions of the Western Lithuania (geographical coordinates 55°43′38″N, 21°27′43″E). The study included different soil tillage methods (conventional ploughing, shallow ploughing and shallow ploughless tillage) and deep loosening. During investigational years, the greatest weed number in crops and the greatest weed seed number in the seed bank were determined in the soil reduced tillage (shallow ploughing and shallow ploughless tillage). The weed number in crops of conventional ploughing soil was 35.8% lover compared to reduced tillage soil. The weed seed number in the seed bank of conventional ploughing was 49.6% lover compared to reduced tillage Decreasing soil tillage intensity resulted in weed seeds concentration in the upper topsoil. A one-time deep loosening had a significant effect during the crop rotation: the weed number in crops and weed seed number in the seed bank were determined to have increased by 26.6% and 51.6% in conventional ploughing soil and by 11.9% and 23.2% shallow ploughless soil respectively. However, after deep loosening, the number of Poa annua in crops decreased 2.9 times in plots of conventional ploughing and 1.7 times – in plots of shallow ploughing soil.  相似文献   

Plant root morphology and soil biological indicators under primary development of various swards     

Regina Skuodienė  Donata Tomchuk  Jūratė Aleinikovienė 《Acta Agriculturae Scandinavica, Section B - Plant Soil Science》2017,67(5):435-443

Plant nutrition conditions are limited in naturally acidic soil due to harmful hydrogen and aluminium ions. More favourable conditions for plant nutrition (soil liming) will affect root qualitative and quantitative parameters and influence ecosystem stability. Four legume–grass swards were cultivated. The swards were a combination of one species of legume and two species of grasses: Trifolium pratense L., Trifolium repens L., Trifolium hybridum L., Medicago sativa L. (each of 50%) with Phleum pratense L. (35%) and Poa pratensis L. (15%). The aim of this study is to evaluate the root morphological and soil biological indicators of legume–grass swards under the first two years of development in soils with different pH levels.

Sward ecosystem development depends on the pH of the soil, sward species composition and soil biota. During the first year of sward development, soil pH had a significant influence on the morphology of root system. Sward‘s root mass and total root length was 2.4 and 2.2 times bigger in naturally acidic soil. This resulted in a change of biological parameters.

In the second year of sward development, soil pH had no significant influence on sward‘s root mass. However, under the impact of different soil pH, various sward‘s root systems were formed and the root C:N ratio had changed. It is observed that, regardless of the sward species composition and the year of development, at higher root C:N ratio soil microbial biomass was higher and CO₂ emissions were lower in swards in naturally acidic soils.

Regardless of soil pH, different types of clover–grass swards promoted organic carbon immobilization in microbial biomass and, at the same time, stabilized the sward ecosystem in the top soil layer (soil respiration in 0–10 and 10–20?cm layers was lower) more effectively than the alfalfa–grass sward.  相似文献
