为掌握禾谷镰孢在甘肃中部地区的分布及变异情况,从根部表现有坏死和叶鞘发褐的小麦幼苗的不同部位、小麦地土壤及玉米籽粒、玉米茎秆上分离禾谷镰孢,并以形态学为基础,参照Nelson分类系统进行鉴定。结果表明,在分离到的43个镰刀菌菌株中,有14个菌株经鉴定为禾谷镰孢,均从玉米茎秆上分离到,小麦根部、小麦叶鞘、小麦地土壤、玉米籽粒中分离到的镰刀菌中未见禾谷镰孢。将禾谷镰孢在特定条件下培养后,发现14个禾谷镰孢菌株产生子囊壳的数量不同,为2～90个。在以Fg16为引物的PCR反应中,随机选取的11个禾谷镰孢菌株都产生0.41kb的PCR产物,而6个对照菌株都产生0.50kb的片段,证明引物Fg16可以区分禾谷镰孢菌株群体的遗传多态性。以Tri13为引物的PCR反应显示,11个禾谷镰孢菌株以及3个中国对照菌株都产生脱氧雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(DON)毒素,而3个澳大利亚对照菌株产生雪腐镰刀菌烯醇(NIV)毒素。  相似文献

The measurement and interpretation of genotype-environment interactions     

R. Knight 《Euphytica》1970,19(2):225-235

Summary The regression analysis developed by Finlay and Wilkinson to investigate genotype-environment interactions and to assess genotypes for their adaptation to a range of environments is reviewed. Their analysis used the mean yield of many genotypes to provide a measure of the environment; it was not measured in physical terms. To reveal aspects of their analysis it was applied to data of the response of genotypes to variation in a single precisely measured environmental factor. The conclusions were extended to consider variation in several environmental factors.The effects on the regression statistics that occur with different samples of genotypes, sub- and super-optimal environmental conditions, differences in periods of growth, changes in the scale of measurement and the occurrence of several stress factors are outlined.The study byBreese (1969) of genotype-environment interaction inDactylis glomerata is considered against a background of these effects.  相似文献   

Pharmacokinetics of phenylbutazone in mature Holstein bulls: steady-state kinetics after multiple oral dosing     

R J Williams  F D Boudinot  J A Smith  A P Knight 《American journal of veterinary research》1990,51(3):371-375

Six mature Holstein bulls were given an 8-day course of phenylbutazone (PBZ) orally (loading dose, 12 mg of PBZ/kg of body weight and 7 maintenance doses of 6 mg of PBZ/kg, q 24 h). Plasma concentration-vs-time data were analyzed, using nonlinear regression modeling. The harmonic mean +/- pseudo-SD of the biologic half-life of PBZ was 61.8 +/- 12.8 hours. The arithmetic mean +/- SEM of the total body clearance and apparent volume of distribution were 0.0021 +/- 0.0001 L/h/kg and 0.201 +/- 0.009 L/kg, respectively. The predicted mean minimal plasma concentration of PBZ with this dosage regimen was 75.06 +/- 4.05 micrograms/ml. The predicted minimal plasma drug concentration was compared with the observed minimal plasma drug concentration in another group of bulls treated with PBZ for at least 60 days. Sixteen mature Holstein bulls were given approximately 6 mg of PBZ/kg, PO, daily for various musculoskeletal disorders. The mean observed minimal plasma concentration of PBZ in the 16 bulls was 76.10 +/- 2.04 micrograms/ml, whereas the mean predicted minimal plasma concentration was 74.69 +/- 3.10 micrograms/ml. Dosages of 4 to 6 mg of PBZ/kg, q 24 h, or 10 to 14 mg of PBZ/kg, q 48 h, provided therapeutic plasma concentrations of PBZ with minimal steady-state concentrations between 50 and 70 micrograms/ml.  相似文献   

Supplemental biotin for swine. I. Influence on feedlot performance, plasma biotin and toe lesions in developing gilts     

K L Bryant  E T Kornegay  J W Knight  K E Webb  D R Notter 《Journal of animal science》1985,60(1):136-144

Three trials, utilizing a total of 240 crossbred gilts, were conducted to study the influence of 0 (NB) or 220 (SB) microgram supplemental biotin/kg of diet on feedlot performance, plasma biotin and development of toe lesions in developing gilts. Corn-soybean meal diets were fed from weaning to 92 kg body weight. Gilts were housed on expanded-metal floors to 50 kg body weight and on partially slatted concrete floors until completion of the trials. Feedlot performance, hair and structural soundness scores were not different (P greater than .10) between NB and SB gilts. Plasma biotin (PB) levels were elevated (P less than .01) when supplemental biotin was included in the diet. Gilts consuming SB diets had fewer (P less than .01) toe lesions/gilt and lower (P less than .01) toe lesion severity scores/gilt compared with gilts fed NB diets. Heel-horn erosion and heel cracks were the most frequent toe lesions observed. Fewer gilts (P less than .01) developed side-wall toe cracks when fed SB diets. Supplemental biotin reduced the frequency of individual toes containing heel-horn erosion (P less than .10), heel cracks (P less than .05) and side-wall toe cracks (P less than .05) with the severity of these lesions not affected (P greater than .10) by supplemental biotin. These results suggest that biotin levels in corn-soybean meal diets are adequate for feedlot performance, and that supplemental biotin can improve hoof integrity, but will not prevent toe lesions.  相似文献   

Sex determination of monomorphic birds by fibreoptic endoscopy   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

D M Jones  J H Samour  J A Knight  J M Ffinch 《The Veterinary record》1984,115(23):596-598

Fibreoptic endoscopy was performed in 1056 monomorphic birds of 144 different species belonging to 15 Orders. The purpose was to establish their sex by direct inspection of the gonads. The results suggest that although the technique involves surgical intervention it is generally more practical and accurate than chromosome analysis of lymphocytes or analysis of faecal steroids. Surgical anaesthesia is recommended on practical and humane grounds but this and the technique itself can be hazardous in old and fat birds, where a mortality rate of as high as 2 per cent was encountered. Cloacal examination of as high as 2 per cent was encountered. Cloacal examination is a more practical technique for sex determination in penguins.  相似文献   

Restricted energy intake and elevated calcium and phosphorus intake for boars during growth. II. Foot and leg measurements and toe and soundness scores     

E T Kornegay  H P Veit  J W Knight  D R Notter  H S Bartlett  D F Calabotta 《Journal of animal science》1983,57(5):1182-1199

Boars were assigned at 5 wk of age in a 2 X 2 factorial arrangement to two energy (ad libitum and 75% of ad libitum) and two Ca and P levels (100 and 150% of the National Research Council daily recommended amounts) to determine the effect of reduced growth rate and elevated Ca and P intake on foot and leg measurements, pad and horn incidence and severity of lesions, and structural soundness. There were 20 boars/treatment; 15 boars from each treatment were necropsied at 10 +/- 2-d intervals from 80 to 220 d of age (45 to 185 d on test), with the remaining five boars in each treatment being necropsied at 220 d of age. Feet and leg measurements were taken and toe pads and horns were scored initially and after 78 and 131 d on when necropsied. Boars remaining after 130 d on test were scored for overall structural soundness. Toe size and circumference and length of limbs increased as boars grew, with larger values for ad libitum-fed compared with limit-fed boars when observed at a constant age. However, when these values were corrected for body weight, the effect of energy was generally removed and, in some cases, reversed. Limit-fed boars appeared to have fewer pad and horn lesions, but the effects were inconsistent. In general, Ca and P levels had little or no effect on toe and limb sizes and pad and horn lesion scores, whether or not the values were expressed on a constant age or corrected body weight basis. A comparison of inside and outside toes on the front and hind feet revealed that outside toes were larger than inside toes, with the magnitude of the difference much larger for the hind foot than for the front foot. The hind inside toes had fewer pad and horn lesions. Structural soundness scores were more desirable in ad libitum-fed compared with limit-fed boars; but, elevated Ca and P levels had no effect. Thus, these data do not support a hypothesis that structural soundness can be improved by reducing the growth rate of developing boars or by feeding an elevated level of Ca and P.  相似文献   

Parasites of domestic and wild animals in South Africa. XX. Arthropod parasites of the Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra)     

I G Horak  M M Knight  V de Vos 《The Onderstepoort journal of veterinary research》1986,53(3):127-132

The arthropod parasite burdens of 14 Cape mountain zebra (Equus zebra zebra), shot for survey purposes in the Mountain Zebra National Park in the eastern Cape Province, were determined. Three species of Gasterophilus larvae and 9 ixodid tick species were recovered. Larvae of Gasterophilus pecorum were the most numerous of the fly larvae recovered and Margaropus winthemi was the most abundant tick. Two horses examined in the park were infested with 3 species of Gasterophilus larvae and 7 species of ixodid ticks.  相似文献   

Forest roads and landscape structure in the southern Rocky Mountains   总被引：18，自引：0，他引：18  

James R. Miller  Linda A. Joyce  Richard L. Knight  Rudy M. King 《Landscape Ecology》1996,11(2):115-127

Roadless areas on public lands may serve as environmental baselines against which human-caused impacts on landscape structure can be measured. We examined landscape structure across a gradient of road densities, from no roads to heavily roaded, and across several spatial scales. Our study area was comprised of 46,000 ha on the Roosevelt National Forest in north-central Colorado. When forest stands were delineated on the basis of seral stage and covertype, no relationship was evident between average stand size and road density. Topography appeared to exert a greater influence on average stand size than did road density. There was a significant positive correlation between the fractal dimension of forest stands and road density across all scales. Early-seral stands existed in greater proportions adjacent to roads, suggesting that the effects of roads on landscape structure are somewhat localized. We also looked at changes in landscape structure when stand boundaries were delineated by roads in addition to covertype and seral stage. Overall, there was a large increase in small stands with simple shapes, concurrent with a decline in the number of stands > 100 ha. We conclude that attempts to quantify the departure from naturalness in roaded areas requires an understanding of the factors controlling the structure of unroaded landscapes, particularly where the influence of topography is great. Because roads in forested landscapes influence a variety of biotic and abiotic processes, we suggest that roads should be considered as an inherent component of landscape structure. Furthermore, plans involving both the routing of new roads and the closure of existing ones should be designed so as to optimize the structure of landscape mosaics, given a set of conservation goals.  相似文献   

Antimicrobial therapy for rams with Brucella ovis infection of the urogenital tract.     

D A Dargatz  J A Smith  A P Knight  P W Farin  C V Kimberling 《Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association》1990,196(4):605-610

Rams shedding Brucella ovis in semen but without palpable abnormalities of the epididymides were treated with long-acting oxytetracycline for 15 days and dihydrostreptomycin for 7 days (n = 9) or conventional oxytetracycline and dihydrostreptomycin (n = 9) for 7 days. Nine rams were not treated. More treated rams were considered to have satisfactory breeding soundness examination results at posttreatment weeks 3, 7, 12, and 19. Nontreated rams continued to shed B ovis in semen. After treatment, B ovis was not recovered from 78% of rams given long-acting oxytetracycline and dihydrostreptomycin or from 89% of rams given conventional oxytetracycline and dihydrostreptomycin. At week 21, all rams were euthanatized, and specimens of the testes and epididymides were bacteriologically cultured for B ovis. Brucella ovis was not recovered from the testes of rams or from the epididymides from rams not shedding the organism in the semen. In one treated ram, B ovis was recovered from the semen but not from other tissues. All rams remained ELISA-positive, with the exception of 2 treated rams that ceased shedding B ovis in semen immediately after treatment was started; both these rams became ELISA-negative on the last examination at week 19.  相似文献
