Stand structure and the regeneration ofChamaecyparis pisifera on sites with and without well-developed soil in an old-growth coniferous forest, Akasawa Forest Reserve, central Japan,
were investigated, along with their relationships to other important coniferous species. Of stems ofC. pisifera≥5 cm diameter at breast height, stems with intermediate size were absent in stands on the developed-soil site, while those
with smaller size increased in stands on the undeveloped-soil site, which supported a higher density ofC. pisifera. In the stands without recent tree-fall of canopy stems on the developed-soil site, canopy stems ofC. pisifera were distributed uniformly and the understory stems, patchily. On the other hand, both canopy and understory stems ofC. pisifera in stands on the undeveloped-soil site were distributed patchily. In the understory,C. pisifera occurred as clonal patches formed by vegetative reproduction on various types of microsites including bare rocks. However,
the clonal patches did not occur in a stand on the developed-soil site with dense saplings of an evergreen conifer,Thujopsis dolabrata, which can expand vegetatively with a well developed soil layer. Gap formation may induceC. pisifera to develop tree-form stems from shrubby clonal patches. On developed-soil sites,C. pisifera stands that survive a long disturbance-free period on this site need catastrophic disturbance for their regeneration, which
will eliminateT. dolabrata in the understory and create bare soil for colonization ofC. pisifera from seeds. On undeveloped-soil sites,C. pisifera replaces itself continuously by effective vegetative reproduction. Ground instability and the wet condition of this site
may promote the replacement. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: To investigate the effects of disproportionate levels of dietary arginine and lysine on juvenile Japanese flounder Paralichthys olivaceus , growth performance and biochemical parameters were evaluated by feeding five test diets, comprising different levels of arginine and lysine, to triplicate groups of juveniles (initial bodyweight 1.85 g) for 40 days. Crystalline amino acids were supplemented to test diets to correspond to the amino acid pattern found in the whole body protein of the Japanese flounder, except for arginine and lysine. After the feeding trials, plasma arginine, lysine and urea levels, excreted ammonia-N, and liver arginase activity were analysed. Survival, specific growth rate, feed conversion efficiency, and apparent protein retention were adversely affected ( P < 0.05) by the deficiency in dietary arginine or lysine concentrations. An excess of either lysine or arginine in the diet did not depress growth when the diets contained adequate levels of either arginine or lysine, proving that there is no evidence for an arginine–lysine antagonism. Results for plasma arginine, lysine and urea levels, excreted ammonia, and liver arginase activity also demonstrated that Japanese flounder juveniles are not sensitive to excess dietary levels of lysine and arginine. 相似文献

The dietary protein requirement of the freshwater prawn Macrobrachium rosenbergii to obtain the maximum body protein retention was assessed by the estimated protein needed daily for maintenance (M) and body protein increment (G). The body protein increment was estimated by quantifying body nitrogen increments when the prawn was fed high‐protein diets composed primarily of casein. The protein required for maintenance was estimated by regressing weight gains in feeding experiments using graded dietary levels of casein. The true daily retention (R) or increase in body protein of the prawn corresponds to the sum of M and G. The values of M, G, and R determined in the present study were 3.86, 0.24, and 4.10 g/kg body weight/d, respectively. On the basis of the daily body protein increment and the net protein utilization of casein (58%), dietary protein requirement of the juvenile M. rosenbergii for maximum body protein retention was suggested to be about 7.1 g/kg body weight/d. 相似文献

Interannual variability of the ecosystem of the Kii Channel, productive shelf water on the Pacific side of south‐western Japan, was analysed based on physicochemical environmental variables and abundance of major zooplankton taxa collected monthly for 12 yr from 1987 to 1999. The Kii Channel experienced both short‐term (i.e. 3–4 yr) cyclical changes and a long‐term (i.e. decadal) environmental trend. The short‐term variability was primarily associated with year‐to‐year differences in intrusion of subsurface, cold nutrient‐rich water along the bottom of the Kii Channel from the Pacific Ocean. When this bottom intrusion was intense, the Kii Channel experienced a cold, new production‐dominated ecosystem. The bottom intrusion, however, has become less intense in recent years, because of the closer proximity of the Kuroshio flow axis to the Kii Channel. Hence, there was a consistent trend towards warming and a regenerated production‐dominated ecosystem. In accordance with such environmental changes, the zooplankton community shifted towards more oceanic conditions; major herbivorous calanoids (i.e. Calanus sinicus, Paracalanus parvus (s.l.), Clausocalanus spp. and Acartia omorii) decreased, while carnivores (i.e. hydromedusae and Sagitta spp.) increased. The amount of total fish catch also decreased, while the catch of subtropical species increased. These findings lead us to conclude that the bottom intrusion from the Pacific Ocean plays a key role in determining the biological production in the Kii Channel. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Recently, a serious disease spread extensively in aquaculture sites of the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi in Korea. To understand circumstances of ascidians in Korean aquaculture sites, residue levels of organotin compounds were analyzed, and detection of a marine birnavirus (MABV) in tissues of H. roretzi was attempted. Korean H. roretzi showed high concentrations of butyltins (mono, di, and tributyltins), especially in the gill, hepatopancreas, and digestive tract. However, there was no significant difference in the residues of butyltins in the hepatopancreas between diseased and non-diseased ascidians. The positive rate of MABV detection was high in the hepatopancreas, but also no significant difference was observed between diseased and non-diseased individuals. These observations suggest that an accumulation of tributyltin and a latency of MABV in H. roretzi tissues does not directly relate to the occurrence of the disease. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate: 1) the pharmacokinetics of dietary icosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in the plasma using 13C‐labeled EPA ([13C]EPA); 2) the bioavailability of [13C]EPA with different chemical forms; and 3) an effective plasma EPA level for normal growth of the Japanese flounder Parachthys olivaceus. [13C]EPA was biosynthesized using the Chlorella Nannochloropsis oculate, and 1‐myristoyl 2‐[13C]icosapentaenoyl phasphatidyl‐choline ([13C]EPA‐PC) and [13C]EPA ethyl ester ([13C]EPA‐EE) were chemically synthesized from [13C]EPA. Free [13C]EPA ([13C]EPA‐FREE) dissolved in 0.5% tragacanth gum‐polye‐thyleneglycol (3:1, V/V) was administered to the Japanese flounder at dosages of 2.8, 5.6, and 16.8 mg/kg by a single oral administration. [13C]EPA‐PC (44.8 mg/kg) and [13C]EPA‐EE (18.3 mg/kg), equimolar to 3.0 mg [13C]EPA‐FREE (16.8 mg/kg), were administered to the fish in a similar manner. In [13C]EPA‐FREE dosed fish, the kinetics of the mean plasma [13C]EPA were linear with respect to dose. [13C]EPA‐FREE and [13C]EPA‐PC were more efecient in maintaining high plasma EPA levels than [13C]EPA‐EE in the Japanese flounder. [13C]EPA was distributed in plasma, blood cell, eyeball containing the orbital fat, liver, stomach, intestine, skin, brain, heart and muscle in three [13C]EPA derivatives studies. The effective plasma EPA level for normal growth of the Japanese flounder is estimated to be 307 to 937 μg/mL for EPA‐FREE administration, and from 286 to 815 μg/mL 6.3 to 38 mg/mL for the EPA‐PC administration. 相似文献

We report the draft genome sequence of the model moss Physcomitrella patens and compare its features with those of flowering plants, from which it is separated by more than 400 million years, and unicellular aquatic algae. This comparison reveals genomic changes concomitant with the evolutionary movement to land, including a general increase in gene family complexity; loss of genes associated with aquatic environments (e.g., flagellar arms); acquisition of genes for tolerating terrestrial stresses (e.g., variation in temperature and water availability); and the development of the auxin and abscisic acid signaling pathways for coordinating multicellular growth and dehydration response. The Physcomitrella genome provides a resource for phylogenetic inferences about gene function and for experimental analysis of plant processes through this plant's unique facility for reverse genetics. 相似文献

The objectives of this study were to investigate: 1) the pharmacokinetics of dietary docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and docosapentaenoic acid (DPA) using 13 C-labeled fatty acids; 2) the interorgan transport of DHA in the red sea bream by monitoring the DHA level of several organs; and 3) the relationship between the plasma DHA level and optimum dietary DHA level in the plasma of the red sea bream Chrysophrys major . For this purpose, a mixture of 38.5% of [13 C]DHA, 8.5% of [13 C]DPA, and 4.2% of [13 C]palmitic acid were given to the red sea bream at dose level of 8.0, 16.0, and 47.9 mg/kg by a single oral administration. For [13 C]DHA, the maximum plasma concentration (tmax ) occurred at 2.00–3.00 h after the oral administration. The peak plasma concentration (Cmax ) and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve to 24 h (AUC0-24 for [13 C]DHA level linearly increased with respect to dosage. [13 C]DHA appeared in each organ (plasma, erythrocyte and the fat body of the orbit, liver, intestine, skin, brain, heart and muscle) at 0.5 h and was observed until 24 h. From the values determined for the pharmacokinetic parameters, the range of the effective plasma DHA level for normal growth of the red sea bream was suggested to be between 21.0 and 40.3 μg/mL. For [13 C]DPA, the AUC0-24 and Cmax values also linearly increased with the dosage, but tmax did not depend on it. 相似文献

We have characterized the cell surface properties of three mutant series of Pseudomonas aeruginosa that show various defects in their lipopolysaccharide (LPS) core region. The deepest rough mutants of each series used in this study lacked completely rhamnose and glucose, and contained only galactosamine and alanine as LPS outer core constituents. However, rough mutants other than the deepest rough mutants showed high cell surface hydrophobicity compared to the corresponding parental strains, the deepest rough mutants showed less hydrophobicity than other rough mutants. The reactivity of an anti-lipid A monoclonal antibody with the deepest rough mutants was markedly higher than that with other counterparts. The deepest rough mutants tended to be more susceptible to antibiotics, such as gentamicin and polymyxin B, than the corresponding parental strains and other rough mutants. The above evidence indicates that neutral sugar, namely rhamnose and glucose, residues of the LPS outer core region play a critical role in the cell surface properties of P. aeruginosa. 相似文献
