Essential oils of peppermint Mentha piperita L. (Lamiaceae), which are used in flavors, fragrances, and pharmaceuticals, were investigated for their antimicrobial properties against 21 human and plant pathogenic microorganisms. The bioactivity of the oils menthol and menthone was compared using the combination of in vitro techniques such as microdilution, agar diffusion, and bioautography. It was shown that all of the peppermint oils screened strongly inhibited plant pathogenic microorganisms, whereas human pathogens were only moderately inhibited. Chemical compositions of the oils were analyzed by GC and GC/MS. Using the bioautography assay, menthol was found to be responsible for the antimicrobial activity of these oils.  相似文献   

The sensitivity of water extractable soil organic carbon fractions to land use in three soil types

Soil organic carbon (SOC) has a high impact on the sustainability of ecosystems, global environmental processes, soil quality and agriculture. Long-term tillage usually leads to SOC depletion. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of different land uses on water extractable organic carbon (WEOC) fractions and to evaluate the interaction between the WEOC fractions and other soil properties. Using an extraction procedure at 20°C and 80°C, two fractions were obtained: a cold water extractable organic carbon (CWEOC) and a hot water extractable organic carbon (HWEOC). The results suggest that there is a significant impact from different land uses on WEOC. A lower relative contribution of WEOC in SOC and a lower concentration of labile WEOC fractions are contained in arable soil compared to forestlands. Chernozem soil was characterized by a lower relative contribution of WEOC to the SOC and thus higher SOC stability in contrast to Solonetz and Vertisol soils. Both CWEOC and HWEOC are highly associated with SOC in the silt and clay fraction (<53 µm) and were slightly associated with SOC in the macroaggregate classes. The WEOC fractions were highly and positively correlated with the SOC and mean weight diameter.  相似文献   

Distribution and structural variation of arabinoxylans in common wheat mill streams   总被引：6，自引：0，他引：6  

Delcour JA  Van Win H  Grobet PJ 《Journal of agricultural and food chemistry》1999,47(1):271-275

In 19 wheat-milling fractions total pentosan content, calculated as 0.88 x (% L-arabinose + % D-xylose), varied between 1.44 and 30.66% on dry matter (dm). It increased with ash content once the latter exceeded 0.6% (dm basis). Water-extractable arabinoxylans were recovered by saturating water extracts to 65% ethanol. Their contents in the milling fractions varied between 0.35 and 1.38%, and above 0.6% ash content also increased with this parameter. Their L-arabinose-to-D-xylose ratios ranged between 0.65 and 0.39, with the lowest values found for the fractions with highest ash content, indicating that the ash-rich tissues contain more arabinoxylans that are less branched. (1)H NMR spectroscopy revealed that the decrease in L-arabinose-to-D-xylose ratio was accompanied by an increase in unsubstituted xylose residues and a decrease in disubstituted xylose residues, while the contents of monosubstituted xyloses were virtually constant.  相似文献

张美善  赵娜  阎鸿雁  林秀云 《吉林农业大学学报》2007,29(3):256-258

以7份高粱自交系幼胚为外植体,研究了不同基因型对组织培养的反应和植株再生的差异。结果表明:不同高粱基因型间愈伤组织诱导率没有明显差异,但胚性愈伤组织百分率、不定芽分化率以及再生频率有明显差异。其中YN336A、YN267R、YN510R和YN338A的再生效果较好,其不定芽发生率、不定根发生率及移栽成活率分别为64.4%-72.8%,76.2%-100.0%和36.3%-80.0%。对只生根不生芽的基因型,加入1-2 mg/L KT有明显抑制生根、促进生芽的效应。  相似文献

Remote sensing analysis of forest damage by selection logging in the Kabaung Reserved Forest, Bago Mountains, Myanmar     

Rosy Ne Win  Reiji Suzuki  Shinya Takeda 《Journal of Forest Research》2012,17(2):121-128

Selection logging is a principal management scheme in natural teak-bearing forests in Myanmar. Monitoring the spatial extent and intensity of selection logging is important for sustainable forest management. This study applied the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) image differencing method using two SPOT-5 pan-sharpened images (2.5 m spatial resolution) taken in October 2007 and January 2009 to analyze canopy changes associated with damage from forest harvesting. According to the pixel-based analysis, NDVI changes were larger in most logging road/log landing points whereas smaller NDVI changes were seen in most unlogged points. NDVI changes in teak stump areas were related to distance from a logging road and the number of stumps within the estimated crown area (a circular area with a 10 m radius from the center of each stump). A Fisher’s exact test showed that one of the main factors causing the high NDVI change in teak stump areas was the effect of road construction. The distribution pattern of teak stumps indicated that teak stumps with estimated crown areas that contained more than one stump had high mean change in NDVI. The spectral difference between before and after logging revealed that logging roads had a greater effect on canopy changes than teak stumps.  相似文献   

Effects of option mitigating ammonia volatilization on CH4 and N2O emissions from a paddy field fertilized with anaerobically digested cattle slurry     

Khin Thawda Win  Ryoko Nonaka  Koki Toyota  Takashi Motobayashi  Masaaki Hosomi 《Biology and Fertility of Soils》2010,46(6):589-595

A lysimeter experiment was carried out to evaluate the effects of the NH₃ volatilization mitigation by adding anaerobically digested cattle slurry (ADCS) alone, with wood vinegar (WV) or with a higher level of floodwater (HFW), on emissions of CH₄ and N₂O from a paddy soil planted with fodder rice. We have carried out the following treatments: (1) chemical fertilizer, (2) ADCS, (3) ADCS + WV, and (4) ADCS + HFW; the height of floodwater was 10 cm in the latter treatment, and it was 3 to 4 cm in the other treatments just before fertilizer applications. Nitrogen fertilizer rate added to soil in each treatment was 30 g NH₄⁺–N m⁻² (split in one basal and two top-dressing additions). Ammonia volatilization in the ADCS treatment was 2.7 g NH₃–N m⁻² throughout the growing season, and it was significantly reduced by 79% and 55% in the ADCS + WV and ADCS + HFW treatments, respectively. The total amount of CH₄ emitted in the ADCS treatment in the growing season was not significantly enhanced by the mitigation of NH₃ volatilization either by adding wood vinegar or by increasing the height of the floodwater. Negligible N₂O emissions were observed in all treatments during the growing period.  相似文献   

New sampler for dry deposition in forest canopy     

Chisato Takenaka  Win Ko Ko 《Journal of Forest Research》1998,3(1):19-24

A new type of sampler for dry deposition in a forest canopy was designed and tested to confirm its usefulness. The new sampler is made of Teflon chips packed in a nylon net, and tied on a rod like a branch in the canopy. The validity and characteristics of the new sampler were checked by comparing it with the conventional bucket sampler and the foliar extraction method using hinoki (Chamaecyparis obtusa) trees. The comparison between the deposited amounts on the dummy branch and those on the bucket indicates that the dummy could trap gaseous matter more effective than the bucket. From a comparison with the foliar extracting method, it is concluded that the trapping of particulate matter by the new dummy branch is comparable to that of natural needle leaves. However, its efficiency for gaseous matter is relatively small. This disadvantage should be improved by applying other materials to the dummy. Moreover, it is found that the uptake of gas especially SO₂ through the stomata is an important point in the discussion about dry deposition. To evaluate the amounts of dry deposition in the forest canopy more precisely, combination with the additional method should be useful. This study was supported in part by a grant-in-aid for Scientific Research from the Ministry of Education, Science, Sports, and Culture, Japan.  相似文献
