Reducing end groups in brich xylan and their alkaline degradation     

M. H. Johansson  O. Samuelson 《Wood Science and Technology》1977,11(4):251-263

Summary The structure of the reducing end group in xylan can be written: --D-Xylp-(14)--D-Xylp-(13)--L-Rhap-(12)---D-GalpA-(14)-D-XylIn alkaline media the reducing xylose group is easily isomerized and removed by a -elimination which leads to a reducing galacturonic acid end group. The 1, 2-linkage between rhamnose and the galacturonic acid explains the retarding effect on the alkaline peeling. Even under fairly mild conditions the galacturonic acid group is converted to other groups which are very stable in alkaline media. Model experiments permit the conclusion that OH-3 in the reducing group is subjected to -hydroxyelimination. The 3-deoxy-2-O--L-rhamnopyranosyl-D-threo-hex-2-enuronic acid group formed is unstable in acid medium and escapes observation by the techniques employed for determination of the end groups.Upon prolonged alkaline treatment and increased proportion of these groups is lost and a rapid peeling proceeds until a xylose group with a 4-O-methylglucuronic acid substituent is liberated. The consecutive reactions of this group are similar to those of the galacturonic acid groups.The formation of 3-deoxyaldonic acid end groups, an important stopping reaction in cellulose, is of minor importance in xylan.The financial support from the 1959 Års Fond för Teknisk och Skoglig Forskning samt Utbildning is gratefully acknowledged.  相似文献

柯世省  杨敏文 《福建林业科技》2007,34(3):10-13,22

以盆栽5年生云锦杜鹃苗木为材料,分对照、轻度胁迫、中度胁迫、重度胁迫4组,研究了土壤水分胁迫对云锦杜鹃叶片光合特性日变化的影响。结果表明:随着水分胁迫的加重,云锦杜鹃的光合日变化曲线由典型的双峰型逐渐转变为峰值很小的单峰型,峰值的降低在轻度水分胁迫下由气孔限制引起,而在中度和重度水分胁迫下则由非气孔限制引起。轻度、中度和重度水分胁迫对云锦杜鹃光合特性日变化的影响差异显著。经逐步多元回归得到了净光合速率日变化的回归方程。  相似文献   

Stilbenes and resin acids in relation to the penetration of Heterobasidion annosum through the bark of Picea abies     

M. Lindberg  L. Lundgren  R. Gref  M. Johansson 《Forest Pathology》1992,22(2):95-106

Concentrations of the stilbene glucosides astringin and isorhapontin, which ranged from 5 to 50 mg/g fresh weight in Picea abies bark, decreased in response to in vivo infection with the root-rot fungus Heterobasidion annosum. The initial concentration of the stilbene astringin was negatively correlated with the depth of hyphal penetration. Resin acid contents increased following infec-tion, but were not correlated with the depth of hyphal penetration. The spatial distribution of stilbene glucosides in spruce stem, root collar and root bark, and the seasonal variations in con-centration, were estimated.  相似文献   

Chitin and glucans detected in the cell walls of Pythium dimorphum—an oomycetous fungus     

F. O. Asiegbu  A. Lnneborg  M. Johansson 《Forest Pathology》1996,26(6):315-321

With aid of fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) and gold-labelled lectins, together with antibodies against chitinase and β-1,3-glucanases, the spatial distribution of chitin and glucans in hyphal walls of Pythium dimorphum, a causative agent of root die-back disease of conifer seedlings was studied. Contrary to previous reports, this study revealed that chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-d -glucosamine, is a component of the cell wall of this oomycetous fungus. However, compared with the other amino sugar, N-acetyl-galactosamine, it is not present in significant amounts. Ultrastructural and labelling studies demonstrated that the chitin region is embedded in or masked by glucan residues.  相似文献   

Irradiance in thinned Norway spruce (Picea abies) stands and the possibilities to prevent suckers of broadleaved trees     

Tord Johansson 《Forest Ecology and Management》1987,20(3-4):307-319

Both incoming shortwave radiation (R_g) and photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) in percentage of full daylight were measured at the same time by point and strip sampling in four plots (0.1 ha) of Picea abies (L.) Karst. The standard deviations (%) of R_g and PAR were, respectively, 11.1 and 9.8 at 64 points, 15.7 and 13.9 at 32 points, and 24.7 and 23.8 at 16 points per plot.

A period of at least 40 s per strip (30 m min⁻¹) gives a CV (coefficient of variation) of 30%. There is no significant difference between relative irradiance (RI) estimated by the point method (64 points) and by the strip method (8 strips). Curves of RI (R_g and PAR) and basal area (m² ha⁻¹), diameter sum (m ha⁻¹) and density (stems ha⁻¹) of fifteen trials with different thinning programmes are presented. Irradiance (R_g) in heavily thinned stands was 3–14% of irradiance on an open place. The irradiance, R_g, in extra-heavily thinned stands is 12–27%, and in unthinned stands, 1–3% that of an open place. The R_g curve lies above the PAR curve in all cases. Some practical implications of the study are presented. Heavy thinning of Norway spruce stands gives RI (R_g) values 10% at basal area of 25m² ha⁻¹ which is necessary to minimize development of suckers of broadleaved trees.  相似文献   

Predicting moisture content and density distribution of Scots pine by microwave scanning of sawn timber II: evaluation of models generated on a pixel level     

Nils Lundgren  Olle Hagman  Jan Johansson 《Journal of Wood Science》2006,52(1):39-43

The purpose of this study was to use images from a microwave sensor on a pixel level for simultaneous prediction of moisture content and density of wood. The microwave sensor functions as a line-scan camera with a pixel size of 8mm. Boards of Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris), 25 and 50mm thick, were scanned at three different moisture contents. Dry density and moisture content for each pixel were calculated from measurements with a computed tomography scanner. It was possible to create models for prediction of density on a pixel level. Models for prediction of moisture content had to be based on average values over homogeneous regions. Accuracy will be improved if it is possible to make a classification of knots, heartwood, sapwood, etc., and calibrate different models for different types of wood. The limitations of the sensor used are high noise in amplitude measurements and the restriction to one period for phase measurements.  相似文献   

Quality of timber products from Norway spruce     

M. Perstorper  P. J. Pellicane  I. R. Kliger  G. Johansson 《Wood Science and Technology》1995,29(5):339-352

Summary In a previous paper in this series it was concluded that the warp (twist, crook and bow) of structural timber products is of utmost importance for end-user satisfaction. In this paper, a study of the spatial variation of warp of fast-grown Norway spruce is presented. The material, 372 studs (45 × 70 × 2900 mm²), was cut from different radial and longitudinal positions in trees from two stands.The results indicated that twist and crook were at maximum near the pith. However, twist decreased much more rapidly with the distance from pith compared with crook. Crook associated with core studs was larger in the butt log than in the top log, while twist and bow in core studs appeared not to vary longitudinally. Heartwood formation in the butt log juvenile core did not diminish warp propensity. Twist was rather well correlated to the distance between pith and centroid of cross section. The ratio of grain angle to pith distance was the best parameter to predict twist. Presence of compression wood increased bow and crook significantly, while ring width, density and knot area ratio did not substantially contribute to explain warp variation.A moisture content change from 18% to 12% decreased the overall acceptability, expressed by stud grade yield, from 76% to 43%. Thus, timber products should be delivered at a moisture level close to the one expected in the finalized building in order to avoid excessive warp after delivery.The authors gratefully acknowledge the support from EEC Forest programme, Contract No MA2B-0024, from NUTEK project No 9100554 and from Södra Timber AB  相似文献   

Factors affecting costs for on-farm control of salmonella in Swedish dairy herds     

Estelle C.C. ?gren  Jan Johansson  Jenny Fr?ssling  Helene Wahlstr?m  Ulf Emanuelson  Susanna Sternberg-Lewerin 《Acta veterinaria Scandinavica》2015,57(1)

Background

The Swedish control program for salmonella includes restrictions and on-farm control measures when salmonella is detected in a herd. Required control measures are subsidised by the government. This provides an opportunity to study costs for on-farm salmonella control. The aim of this study was to describe the costs for on-farm salmonella control in Swedish cattle herds and to investigate the effects of herd factors on these costs in dairy herds.

Results

During the 15 years studied there had been a total of 124 restriction periods in 118 cattle herds; 89 dairy herds, 28 specialised fattening herds and three suckler herds. The average costs per herd for on-farm salmonella control was 4.60 million SEK with a median of 1.06 million SEK corresponding to approximately 490 000 and 110 000 EUR. The range was 0.01 to 41 million SEK corresponding to 1080 EUR to 4.44 million EUR per farm. The costs cover measures required in herd-specific control plans, generally measures improving herd hygiene. A mixed linear model was used to investigate associations between herd factors and costs for on-farm salmonella control in dairy herds. Herd size and length of the restriction period were both significantly associated with costs for on-farm control of salmonella with larger herds and longer periods of restrictions leading to higher costs. Serotype detected and administrative changes in the Swedish Board of Agriculture aiming at reducing costs were not associated with costs for on-farm salmonella control.

Conclusions

On-farm control of salmonella in Swedish cattle herds incurred high costs but the costs also varied largely between herds. Larger herds and longer restriction periods increased the costs for on-farm control of salmonella in Swedish dairy herds. This causes concern for future costs for the Swedish salmonella control program as herd sizes are increasing.  相似文献

为探究不同核背景下线粒体复合体活性对玉米C型雄性不育系育性的影响,明确其与花药败育的关系.以同质异核不育系K932S、K169S、近等基因恢复系K932R和保持系K169为材料,采用植物线粒体呼吸链复合体酶联免疫分析试剂盒对花药发育不同时期的5个线粒体复合体活性进行测定比较.结果表明,除花粉母细胞时期复合体Ⅱ、Ⅳ外,其余时期不育细胞质复合体Ⅰ、Ⅱ、Ⅳ活性在K169核背景下显著高于K932,绝大多数时期复合体Ⅲ、Ⅴ的活性则相反,但存在恢复基因时,K932R可改变部分时期不育细胞质不同线粒体复合体的活性.在二分体时期,不育细胞质复合体Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅴ活性显著低于正常可育胞质,而其他多数时期5个复合体的活性则相反.由此可见,在花药发育不同时期,核背景对玉米CMS-C不同线粒体复合体活性均有显著影响;相同核背景下,二分体时期不育细胞质复合体Ⅱ、Ⅲ、Ⅴ活性比正常细胞质显著降低,可能与CMS-C花药败育密切相关.  相似文献
