Pheromones are communication chemicals and regulatory signals used by animals and represent unique tools for organisms to mediate behaviors and make “decisions” to maximize their fitness. Phenotypic plasticity refers to the innate capacity of a species to tolerate a greater breadth of environmental conditions across which it adapts to improve its survival, reproduction, and fitness. The pinewood nematode, Bursaphelenchus xylophilus, an invasive nematode species, was accidentally introduced from North America into Japan, China, and Europe; however, few studies have investigated its pheromones and phenotypic plasticity as a natural model. Here, we demonstrated a novel phenomenon, in which nematodes under the condition of pheromone presence triggered increased reproduction in invasive strains (JP1, JP2, CN1, CN2, EU1, and EU2), while it simultaneously decreased reproduction in native strains (US1 and US2). The bidirectional effect on fecundity, mediated by presence/absence of pheromones, is henceforth termed pheromone-regulative reproductive plasticity (PRRP). We further found that synthetic ascaroside asc-C5 (ascr#9), the major pheromone component, plays a leading role in PRRP and identified 2 candidate receptor genes, Bxydaf-38 and Bxysrd-10, involved in perceiving asc-C5. These results suggest that plasticity of reproductive responses to pheromones in pinewood nematode may increase its fitness in novel environments following introduction. This opens up a new perspective for invasion biology and presents a novel strategy of invasion, suggesting that pheromones, in addition to their traditional roles in chemical signaling, can influence the reproductive phenotype among native and invasive isolates. In addition, this novel mechanism could broadly explain, through comparative studies of native and invasive populations of animals, a potential underlying factor behind of the success of other biological invasions.  相似文献

卢景良  曹殿军  王莉林  张莹 《中国兽医杂志》1998,24(4):8-10

本实验以分子生物学和现代免疫学方法,对新城疫病毒（ＮＤＶ）中国毒株Ｆ４８Ｅ９和ＬａＳｏｔａ等毒株的糖蛋白的致病作用进行了探讨。结果表明,ＮＤＶ Ｆ和ＨＮ蛋白为糖蛋白,强弱毒株之间Ｆ蛋白裂解位点的氨基酸序列有明显的不同,并决定了毒株的毒力,但ＮＤＶ的致病作用尚需ＨＮ、Ｆ蛋白的协同作用,单一的Ｆ或ＨＮ蛋白不能构成ＮＤＶ的致病作用。  相似文献

采用生化方法测定地肤三氯甲烷提取物对山楂叶螨体内谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶、羧酸酯酶、单胺氧化酶、Ca2 -ATP酶活性的影响.结果表明:地肤提取物处理山楂叶螨后,螨体内谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶、羧酸酯酶等解毒酶活性被激活,谷胱甘肽-S-转移酶、羧酸酯酶都是昆虫体内重要的代谢解毒酶系,它们参与了昆虫对内源或异源有毒物质的代谢解毒,特别是对杀虫剂的解毒,这表明地肤提取物中存在对山楂叶螨有毒的物质,从而引起了螨体的解毒作用,来维持正常的生理功能.而单胺氧化酶、Ca2 -ATP酶的活力受到一定程度的抑制.Ca2 -ATP酶的被抑制,可能会破坏细胞内外Ca2 的平衡,影响神经细胞的兴奋和传导,引起神经传递的阻断;单胺氧化酶被抑制,使螨体内神经胺积累,也会造成神经传递的阻断,从而导致螨体的死亡.以上结果表明地肤作为新型植物源农药具有良好的开发前景.  相似文献

以矿区周边Cd—Pb复合污染的农田土壤为供试材料,设置0,2.5%和5%(w/w)3个生物炭添加处理,通过盆栽试验探讨生物炭对再生稻吸收土壤中Cd和Pb的影响。结果表明,生物炭施加提高土壤pH和有机质含量,使Cd和Pb从移动性较强的弱酸提取态转化为较稳定的可还原态,且土壤CaCl2提取的有效态Cd和Pb含量分别降低33.23%~53.23%和66.52%~91.45%。同时,生物炭抑制Cd在头季和再生季水稻叶到糙米中的迁移,降低Pb从茎到叶和糙米的迁移,从而减少Cd和Pb在糙米中的累积;在5%生物炭处理下,再生季糙米Cd含量为0.15mg/kg,低于食品安全国家标准限量值(0.2mg/kg);Pb含量比对照处理降低68.18%。此外,再生季糙米中Cd和Pb含量低于头季稻糙米中相应的含量。因此,生物炭可以抑制Cd和Pb在再生稻体内的累积,降低糙米的重金属污染风险。  相似文献   

Impact of land-use types on soil nitrogen net mineralization in the sandstorm and water source area of Beijing,China   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Changes of land-use type (LUT) can affect soil nutrient pools and cycling processes that relate long-term sustainability of ecosystem, and can also affect atmospheric CO₂ concentrations and global warming through soil respiration. We conducted a comparative study to determine NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻ concentrations in soil profiles (0–200 cm) and examined the net nitrogen (N) mineralization and net nitrification in soil surface (0–20 cm) of adjacent naturally regenerated secondary forests (NSF), man-made forests (MMF), grasslands and cropland soils from the windy arid and semi-arid Hebei plateau, the sandstorm and water source area of Beijing, China. Cropland and grassland soils showed significantly higher inorganic N concentrations than forest soils. NO₃⁻-N accounted for 50–90% of inorganic N in cropland and grassland soils, while NH₄⁺-N was the main form of inorganic N in NSF and MMF soils. Average net N-mineralization rates (mg kg⁻¹ d⁻¹) were much higher in native ecosystems (1.51 for NSF soils and 1.24 for grassland soils) than in human disturbed LUT (0.15 for cropland soils and 0.85 for MMF soils). Net ammonification was low in all the LUT while net nitrification was the major process of net N mineralization. For more insight in urea transformation, the increase in NH₄⁺ and, NO₃⁻ concentrations as well as C mineralization after urea addition was analyzed on whole soils. Urea application stimulated the net soil C mineralization and urea transformation pattern was consistent with net soil N mineralization, except that the rate was slightly slower. Land-use conversion from NSF to MMF, or from grassland to cropland decreased soil net N mineralization, but increased net nitrification after 40 years or 70 years, respectively. The observed higher rates of net nitrification suggested that land-use conversions in the Hebei plateau might lead to N losses in the form of nitrate.  相似文献

彭潇  尹立林  梅全顺  王海燕  刘小磊  朱猛进  李新云  付亮亮  赵书红 《畜牧兽医学报》2019,(2):439-445

旨在系统比较GBLUP、SSGBLUP、BayesA、BayesB、BayesC、BayesLASSO、BSLMM和BayesR等8种方法对猪重要经济性状基因组选择的准确性。本研究以本实验室收集的2 585头大白猪达100kg日龄、达100kg背膘厚和母猪乳头数3个性状为分析对象,结合猪50K基因芯片分型数据,以加性模型为基础,利用5倍交叉验证比较8种方法的基因组选择准确性。研究发现,基因组选择的准确性与不同性状估计遗传力呈正相关。交叉验证结果表明,预测准确性最高的性状为达100kg日龄,但不同方法在不同性状中表现并不完全相同,在达100kg日龄和达100kg背膘厚中SSGBLUP基因组预测准确性均为最高,而在母猪乳头数中BayesA的基因组预测准确性最高。综上表明,对小样本开展基因组预测时,中、高等遗传力性状可以选择SSGBLUP方法,低等遗传力性状可以选择BayesA方法。如何优化和选择一种广泛适用于所有性状的方法,可能是未来研究的方向。  相似文献

人工湿地耦合微生物燃料电池(constructed wetland-microbial fuel cell,CW-MFC)被广泛应用于低碳氮比水产养殖废水处理。然而,高盐度抑制限制了其在海水养殖废水处理中的应用。针对高盐抑制,该研究利用海水底泥和海洋微藻构建电活性菌藻生物膜并结合虹吸曝气技术强化CW-MFC处理海水养殖废水。相比CW-MFC,强化系统对化学需氧量、总磷、总氮、磺胺甲恶唑、Cu²⁺的去除率分别提高33.46%,31.07%、25.64%、12.03%、24.25%。高通量测序显示,硝化和反硝化细菌Marinobacter、Muricauda、Xanthomarina生长状况良好;在MFC阳极和电活性菌藻生物膜表面,胞外呼细菌Geobacteraceae和Pseudomonas以及海洋微藻细菌Pseudooceanicola和Hoeflea被显著富集。研究结果表明,电活性菌藻生物膜耦合虹吸曝气技术可以有效提高CW-MFC系统处理海水养殖废水的效能。  相似文献
