Ailanthus altissima is a woody plant that has become invasively naturalized in many countries. Using nuclear SSR markers, we studied specimens of this species collected throughout Japan and found an individual (labeled Aa-1) that was not diploid. We examined pollen morphology and ploidy level of Aa-1 by optical microscopy and flow cytometry (FCM), respectively. Some pollen grains were morphologically abnormal and much larger than normal. FCM analysis demonstrated that Aa-1 was triploid. Formation of abnormal pollen indicates that Aa-1 may well have reduced fertility compared to normal diploids. If this were the case, vegetative progeny Aa-1 could be used as ornamentals without attendant risks of future naturalization.  相似文献   

Improved fertilization rates by using a large volume tank in red spotted grouper (Epinephelus akaara)     

S. Okumura  K. Okamoto  R. Oomori  H. Sato  A. Nakazono 《Fish physiology and biochemistry》2003,28(1-4):515-516

Two types of spawning experiments were carried out using a small or a large tank in order to determine the reason for the low fertilization rate in artificially reared red spotted grouper. The mean fertilization rate in the large tank (45%) was significantly higher than the one in the small tank (22%). The fertilization rates were high when a pair spawned underwater (84%) compared with the `jump-type' spawning behavior (31%). Spawning in the large deep tank was effective for improving the fertilization rate in this species.  相似文献

Analysis on residue formation during wood liquefaction with polyhydric alcohol   总被引：12，自引：0，他引：12

Liquefactions of cellulose powder, steamed lignin, alkali lignin, and their mixtures were carried out to analyze the reaction process of wood using polyhydric alcohol. The liquefaction of wood proceeded immediately and wood components were converted to N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF)-soluble components. After that, the condensation reaction occurred with increasing reaction time. However, none of cellulose powder, steamed lignin, and alkali lignin condensed by themselves during their liquefaction. The mixture of cellulose and lignin was also liquefied, and condensed after a long reaction time. The results of analysis showed that the behavior of the mixture resembled that of wood with respect to molecular weight distribution and the main functional groups. Lignin was converted to DMF-soluble compounds in the initial stage of wood liquefaction, followed by cellulose gradually being converted into soluble compounds. After that, condensation reactions took place among some parts of depolymerized and degraded compounds from cellulose and lignin, and were converted into DMF-insoluble compounds. It was concluded that the rate-determining step of wood liquefaction was the depolymerization of cellulose. Furthermore, it was suggested that the condensation reaction was due to the mutual reaction among depolymerized cellulose and degraded aromatic derivatives from lignin or due to the nucleophilic displacement reaction of cellulose by phenoxide ion.Part of this report was presented at the 52nd Annual Meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Gifu, April 2002  相似文献   

Lignans ofLinum flavum var.compactum     

Keigo Mikame  Norikazu Sakakibara  Toshiaki Umezawa  Mikio Shimada 《Journal of Wood Science》2002,48(5):440-445

A new dibenzylbutyrolactone lignan 7.6-dihydroxybursehernin, together with six known lignans (pinoresinol, lariciresinol, secoisolariciresinol,-peltatin,-peltatin, 5-methoxypodophyllotoxin) were isolated from the methanol extracts ofLinum flavum var.compactum. The enantiomeric analysis of pinoresinol and lariciresinol isolated from the species, which are upstream lignans in the lignan biosynthetic pathway, indicated that they are not optically pure, which is in accordance with our recent findings on lignans occurring in other plant species.Parts of this report were presented at the 42nd Lignin Symposium, Sapporo, October 1997; and the 43rd Lignin Symposium, Fuchu, October 1998  相似文献

Evaluation of the systemic activity of simeconazole in comparison with that of other DMI fungicides     

Tsuda M  Itoh H  Kato S 《Pest management science》2004,60(9):875-880

The systemic activity of simeconazole (RS-2-(4-fluorophenyl)-1-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-3-trimethylsilylpropan-2-ol) in plants was compared with those of eight other sterol demethylation inhibitor (DMI) fungicides. Simeconazole prevented the infection of Blumeria graminis (DC) Speer f sp hordei Marchal on barley leaves within a radius of several centimeters from the edge of local treatment on the leaves when the compound was separated from the leaves by glass coverslips. This reveals that simeconazole has prominent vapour-phase activity. Simeconazole showed excellent curative activity against barley powdery mildew when treated 1-3 days after inoculation. Furthermore, this indicates that simeconazole has notable translaminar activity because, when the compound was applied onto either the adaxial or abaxial leaf surface, it showed excellent efficacy against powdery mildew on the opposite side of the leaf surface of barley and cucumber. Simeconazole also showed excellent efficacy against barley powdery mildew by soil drench 24h after inoculation. This suggests that simeconazole was absorbed very quickly into the barley plant after treatment. The permeability of the compound through cuticular membranes prepared from tomato fruits was about 20% at 22 h after the treatment and was much superior to that of the other DMI fungicides tested.  相似文献   

Synthesis and insecticidal activity of benzoheterocyclic analogues of N'-benzoyl-N-(tert-butyl)benzohydrazide: Part 1. Design of benzoheterocyclic analogues     

Sawada Y  Yanai T  Nakagawa H  Tsukamoto Y  Yokoi S  Yanagi M  Toya T  Sugizaki H  Kato Y  Shirakura H  Watanabe T  Yajima Y  Kodama S  Masui A 《Pest management science》2003,59(1):25-35

The N'-benzoyl group of N-tert-butyl-N'-benzoyl-3,5-dimethylbenzohydrazide (1) was converted to a series of benzoheterocyclecarbonyl groups in order to investigate the potential usefulness of superimposing a hydrazine insecticide on 20-hydroxyecdysone. A series of analogues with benzodioxole, benzodioxane, benzodioxapine, indole, benzoxazole, benzoxazine or benzothiazole instead of the phenyl group of (1) were synthesized and tested for their insecticidal activity against the common cutworm (Spodoptera litura F). N-tert-Butyl-N'-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-1,3-benzodioxole-5-carbohydrazide and N-tert-butyl-N'-(3,5-dimethylbenzoyl)-2,3-dihydro-1,4-benzodioxine-6-carbohydrazide showed high insecticidal activities, superior to that of (1) and equal to that of the commercial insecticide tebufenozide (RH-5992).  相似文献
