Effects of α-, β-, γ- and ω-Gliadins on the Dough Mixing Properties of Wheat Flour     

R.J. Fido  F. Békés  P.W. Gras  A.S. Tatham 《Journal of Cereal Science》1997,26(3):271-277

Gliadins were extracted from wheat and individual groups (α-, β-, γ-, ω-1 and ω-2) purified. The effects of the individual groups of gliadin on the mixing properties of doughs from low and high protein flours were measured on a 2-g Mixograph and a prototype microextension tester. The addition of all groups of gliadin resulted in a decrease in dough strength. The relative weakening effects were ω-1>ω-2≈α-≈β->γ- in the Mixograph, and γ->α-≈β-≈ω-2≈ω-1 in the Extensograph.  相似文献   

Serogroups of Campylobacter fetus and Campylobacter jejuni isolated in cases of ovine abortion   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

J Varga  B Mézes  L Fodor  I Hajtós 《Zentralblatt für Veterin?rmedizin. Reihe B. Journal of veterinary medicine. Series B》1990,37(2):148-152

Of 38 aborted ovine fetuses from 23 sheep flocks 29 C. fetus subsp. fetus and 22 C. jejuni were isolated and examined biochemically and serologically for heat-stable antigens. Serologic examinations were carried out by passive haemagglutination test. In case of C. fetus subsp. fetus strains alkaline antigen extraction was used. Antisera to two serogroups of C. fetus and to Penner serotype reference strains 1 to 60 were produced in rabbits. Abortion was caused in 18 (78.3%) flocks by C. fetus subsp. fetus and in 5 (21.7%) flocks by C. jejuni. Six C. fetus subsp. fetus strains grew well at both 43 and 25 degrees C. With one exception all C. fetus subsp. fetus were resistant, whereas all 29 C. fetus subsp. venerealis strains were sensitive to 30 micrograms/ml cefoxitin and cefamandole. These two cephalosporins can be used to differentiate the two subspecies of C. fetus. Passive haemagglutination test using alkaline antigen extraction is a proper method for the examination of heat-stable antigens of both C. fetus subspecies. Out of 24 C. fetus subsp. fetus strains 13 belonged to serogroup A(01), and 11 to serogroup B(02). C. jejuni strains examined belonged to Penner serogroup 1 (6 strains), to serogroup 5 (4 strains) and to serogroup 8 (4 strains).  相似文献   

Blood and haemoglobin meal as protein sources in diets for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata): effects on growth, nutritive efficiency and fillet sensory differences     

Silvia Martínez-Llorens  Ana Tomás Vidal  rés Vicente Moñino  Jose Gómez Ader  Marcial Pla Torres  & Miguel Jover Cerdá 《Aquaculture Research》2008,39(10):1028-1037

Two parallel experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of partial substitution of fish meal by two different animal protein sources, blood meal (B) and haemoglobin meal (H) at 0, 50 and 100 g kg⁻¹ of level inclusion in diets for gilthead sea bream, considering a long feeding period for juveniles (Trial 1) and a short feeding period (Trial 2) for on-growing fish. In Trial 1, 33 g juveniles were fed for 242 days and the fish fed with 5% and 10% of haemoglobin dietary inclusion obtained less growth, although feed efficiency, protein efficiency ratio and muscle composition were similar in all diets. In Trial 2, 179 g initial weight fish were fed for 164 days and growth of fish fed H10 showed the lowest growth, although nutrient efficiency and muscle composition were not affected significantly. The results of these experiments demonstrated that blood meal can substitute fish meal (up to 10%) with no effect on performance, but may lead to sensory differences compared with fish fed diet 0, while the inclusion of 5% blood meal had no effect on growth or sensory characteristics. Fish fed 10% haemoglobin inclusion had the poorest growth values.  相似文献   

Spongy degeneration of white matter in the central nervous system of silver foxes (Vulpes vulpes)     

G Hagen  I Bjerk?s 《Veterinary pathology》1990,27(3):187-193

A disorder of central nervous white matter in Norwegian-bred silver foxes is described from the case histories of 21 clinically affected foxes. The main presenting sign of this disorder was caudal limb ataxia, which appeared between 2 1/2 and 4 months of age and progressed over the next 4-8 weeks. Only four affected foxes were allowed to live beyond this period, but they showed moderate to marked improvement. Light microscopic examination of specimens from 16 affected foxes necropsied between 3 1/2 and 6 1/2 months of age revealed lesions that were restricted to the white matter of brain and spinal cord. The lesions were characterized by a symmetrical spongy change with vacuoles of varying sizes and included significant myelin deficiency. There was a relative preservation of axons and nerve cells and no significant inflammation or vascular reaction. An astrocytic hypertrophy was usually associated with the spongy change. Ultrastructural examination of central nervous tissue from two, perfusion-fixed, 6-month-old foxes showed intramyelin vacuoles resulting from splitting of the myelin lamellae at the intraperiod line and was interpreted as indicating myelin edema. Expanded extracellular spaces and watery astrocytic processes also contributed to the vacuolar appearance. Astrocytic processes in affected areas were hypertrophic and contained abundant filaments. Although the 16 silver foxes had severe clinical signs, their lesions had features in common with the juvenile form of Canavan's disease in children and a spongy degeneration reported in Labrador Retrievers; however, the clinical course in the foxes was not uniformly progressive.  相似文献   

Is there a relationship between haemoglobin genotype and the innate resistance to experimental Haemonchus contortus infection in Merino lambs?     

T Kassai  L Fésüs  W M Hendrikx  C Takáts  E Fok  P Redl  E Takács  P R Nilsson  M A van Leeuwen  J Jansen 《Veterinary parasitology》1990,37(1):61-77

Responses to a single or repeated infection with 7000 infective larvae of Haemonchus contortus were studied in an experiment using a total of 106 3-month-old lambs with AA, AB or BB haemoglobin (Hb) genotypes. Results were assessed by faecal egg counts, adult worm counts, haematocrit values, haemoglobin concentrations, total serum protein and serum antibody IgG1 and IgA ELISA titres. None of these parameters showed a strong relationship to the Hb type. The prevalence of low responder (greater than 500 worms) and of high responder (less than 50 worms) animals in groups AA, AB and BB Hb types was 3.8 and 34.6, 20.6 and 35.2, 28.1 and 43.7%, respectively, suggesting that the responsiveness to nematode infection is under the control of gene(s) not closely linked with those determining the Hb genotype. Worm counts of a primary infection are more subject to variation than those of a secondary infection. There is a strong relationship between adult worm counts and faecal egg counts taken close to the time of slaughter. In living animals low and high responder discrimination can be based on individual faecal egg counts around 50 days after a secondary infection. Haematocrit values proved to be of little value in the low and high responder selection. In this regard neither Hb concentration nor total serum protein values are of practical significance. In 3-month-old lambs primary infection induced partial immunity which could prevent the establishment of a part of the secondary infection, irrespective of the presence or absence of the primary worm population. The development of immunity was not associated with an increase of serum IgG1 and IgA antibody levels. Specific antibody production was not influenced by Hb types. Mean antibody levels of low responder lambs showed no difference from those of high responders. Thus, serum IgG1 and IgA levels are of no predictive value in identifying lambs which are genetically resistant to Haemonchus infection.  相似文献   

Pharmacokinetics and cardiopulmonary effects of guaifenesin in donkeys   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

n.s. matthews  k.e. peck  k.l. mealey  t.s. taylor  & a.c. ray 《Journal of veterinary pharmacology and therapeutics》1997,20(6):442-446

Five donkeys and three horses were given guaifenesin, intravenously, by gravity administration, until recumbency was produced. The time and dose required to produce recumbency, recovery time to sternal and standing were recorded. Blood samples were collected for guaifenesin assay at 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 min, and 2, 3, 4 and 6 h after guaifenesin administration. Serum was analysed for guaifenesin using HPLC and pharmacokinetic values were calculated using a computer software package (RSTRIP). In donkeys, heart and respiratory rates and blood pressures were recorded before and at 5-min intervals during recumbency. Arterial blood samples were collected before and at 5 and 15 min intervals during recumbency for analysis of pH, CO₂, and O₂. anova was used to evaluate dynamic data, while t -tests were used for kinetic values.
Respiratory rate was decreased significantly during recumbency, but no other significant changes from baseline occurred. The mean (±SD) recumbency dose of guaifenesin was 131 mg/kg (27) for donkeys and 211 mg/kg (8) for horses. Recovery time to sternal (min) was 15 (SD, 11) for donkeys and 34 (SD, 1.4) for horses. Time to standing was 32 min for donkeys and 36 min for horses. Calculation of AUC (area under the concentration–time curve) (μg.h/mL) (dose-dependent variable) was 231 (SD, 33) for donkeys and 688 (SD, 110) for horses. The clearance ( CL ) (mL/h.kg) was 546 (SD, 73) for donkeys, which was significantly different from 313 (SD, 62) for horses. Mean residence time ( MRT ) (h) was 1.2 (SD, 0.1) for donkeys and 2.6 (SD, 0.5) for horses. Volume of distribution V _d(area) (mL/kg) was 678 (SD, 92) for donkeys and 794 (SD, 25) for horses. At the rate of administration used in this study, donkeys required less guaifenesin than horses to produce recumbency, but cleared it more rapidly.  相似文献

Effect of ABA,arginine and sucrose on protein content of date palm somatic embryos     

Besma Sghaier  Walid Kriaa  Mouna Bahloul  Jesús V. Jorrín Novo  Noureddine Drira 《Scientia Horticulturae》2009

Abscisic acid (ABA), arginine and sucrose were evaluated for their effects on the morphology, germination rates and protein content of date palm somatic embryos (SE). Different concentrations of these supplements in the culture medium were used. The comparative study of SE length and thickness between treated and untreated SE revealed no differences, except for ABA (20 μM), which increased thickness. A decrease of water content (WC) in favor of an increase in dry weight (DW) was observed in all treated SE, especially with sucrose (90 g l⁻¹) and ABA (20 μM). Only ABA (20 and 4 μM) caused a proliferation rate of the cultures higher than those in the control. Although all the tested compounds increased protein content, ABA (20 μM) was more effective in protein enrichment than arginine and sucrose treatments. The SDS-PAGE protein profiles showed a significant difference between treated and untreated SE. A protein band of 22 kDa, identified as glutelin in a previous work, was accumulated after treatment with 20 μM ABA or 3 mM arginine. These findings may contribute to further understanding of the mechanisms involved in the accumulation of specific storage proteins in several plants.  相似文献   

Narrow genetic base in forest restoration with holm oak (Quercus ilex L.) in Sicily     

Concetta Burgarella  Miguel Navascués  Álvaro Soto  Ángel Lora  Silvio Fici 《Annals of Forest Science》2007,64(7):757-763

In order to empirically assess the effect of actual seed sampling strategy on genetic diversity of holm oak (Quercus ilex) forestations in Sicily, we have analysed the genetic composition of two seedling lots (nursery stock and plantation) and their known natural seed origin stand by means of six nuclear microsatellite loci. Significant reduction in genetic diversity and significant difference in genetic composition of the seedling lots compared to the seed origin stand were detected. The female and the total effective number of parents were quantified by means of maternity assignment of seedlings and temporal changes in allele frequencies. Extremely low effective maternity numbers were estimated (Nf _e ≈ 2–4) and estimates accounting for both seed and pollen donors gave also low values (N _e ≈ 35–50). These values can be explained by an inappropriate forestry seed harvest strategy limited to a small number of spatially close trees.  相似文献   

细胞分裂素:杨树气孔运动的调节剂     

陈少良  王沙生 《中国林学(英文版)》1996,(2)

通过在三种杨树无性系，Ｉ－２１４（Ｐｏｐｕｌｕｓ×ｅｕｒａｎｅｒｉｃａｎａｃｖ．Ｉ－２１４）（ｌｔａｌｉｃａ）、中东杨（Ｐ．ｂｅｒｏｌｉｎｅｎｓｉｓ）（Ｂｅｒｏｌｉｎｅｎｓｉｓ）和群众杨（Ｐ．ｐｏｐｕｌａｒｉｓ３５－４４）（Ｐｏｐｕｌａｒｉｓ）一年生盆栽插条苗的木质部导入ＡＢＡ和细胞分裂素，研究了这两类激素在气孔调控中的作用。尽管不同无性系的气孔在对ＡＢＡ的敏感性上存在显著差异，但ＡＢＡ仍可导致气孔的关闭，然而在蒸腾流中的细胞分裂素（与ＡＢＡ共导入或分别导入）可以明显地抑制ＡＢＡ的作用。并且玉米素还能推迟土壤干旱所诱导的气孔关闭，在水分胁迫条件下，内源细胞分裂素浓度下降而同时ＡＢＡ上升．据此提出了复合胁迫信号的概念，即在根冠通讯中，是ＡＢＡ和细胞分裂素共同调控气孔的运动。另外还研究了玉米素、激动素、６－ＢＡ等不同细胞分裂素与ＡＢＡ的相互作用，结果发现６－ＢＡ与玉米素和激动素的作用相反，它不能抑制ＡＢＡ的作用，反而促进其对气孔的关闭  相似文献
