TRANSLOCATION OF AMINOTRIAZOLE AND DALAPON IN AG ROPY RON REPENS (L.) BEAUV.     

K. LUND-HÖIE  A. BYLTERUD 《Weed Research》1969,9(3):205-210

Summary. Tracer studies using single drops of solutions containing 3–amino-1,2,4–triazole-5–¹⁴C (aminotriazole-¹⁴C) or 2,2–dichloropropionic acid-2–¹⁴C (datapon-¹⁴C) revealed that in couch plants (Agropyron repens (L.) Beauv.) growing under field conditions in the autumn and at the stage where the aerial shoots were 40–50 cm long, both compounds moved in both symplast and apoplast. Dalapon was less mobile in the symplast than aminotriazole and only negligible amounts of dalapon were translocated to the rhizomes. The nodes of the treated shoots appeared to act as barriers to translocation, a phenomenon more pronounced for dalapon than for aminotriazole.
Application to a basal green leaf led to a more uniform distribution of the compounds within plants and rhizomes than when the application was made to the youngest fully-expanded leaf.
In couch plants with aerial shoots 10–15 cm long treated in the stubble, the distribution of both aminotriazole and dalapon was mainly restricted to the treated shoots. Even 15 days after application only trace amounts of radioactivity could be found in the rhizomes and untreated shoots.  相似文献

Retrospective analysis of serum and nasal mucus from cattle in Northern Ireland for evidence of infection with influenza A virus     

Graham DA  Calvert V  McLaren E 《The Veterinary record》2002,150(7):201-204

Eighty-four pairs of acute and convalescent serum samples collected in 1998 and 1999 from 17 outbreaks of respiratory disease, milk drop syndrome or diarrhoea in cattle were tested by haemagglutination inhibition against human influenza viruses A/Eng/333/80 (HIN1) and A/Eng/427/88 (H3N2). Antibodies to these viruses were present in the convalescent sera of 56.5 per cent and 58.8 per cent cattle tested, respectively, with 56 per cent of the animals seroconverting to one or both viruses. Titres were typically higher to A/Eng/427/88 (H3N2). Further testing of a subset of 21 of these serum pairs against the predominant H1N1 and H3N2 human and porcine strains circulating when the samples were collected revealed that the highest reactivity, in terms of both the magnitude of the recorded titres and the number of positive sera, was to human H3N2 strains. The titres to human H1N1 strains and to both porcine subtypes were low or absent. Attempts to isolate influenza A virus from nasal mucus or swab samples from 142 cattle from 46 cases of respiratory disease and/or milk drop syndrome by passage in embryonated specific pathogen-free eggs were unsuccessful.  相似文献   

Detection of antibiotic residues and association of cefquinome residues with the occurrence of Extended-Spectrum β-Lactamase (ESBL)-producing bacteria in waste milk samples from dairy farms in England and Wales in 2011

Waste milk samples from 103 farms in England and Wales were examined for the presence of β-lactam antibiotics and ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. Approximately 10 months after the initial sampling, further waste milk, environmental and faecal samples from farms shown to be positive for CTX-M Escherichia coli were investigated further. Isolates with an ESBL phenotype were tested by PCR for the presence of bla_CTX-M, bla_OXA, bla_SHV and bla_TEM genes. Isolates positive for bla_CTX-M were sequenced to determine CTX-M type. Representative isolates were further examined by PFGE, plasmid replicon typing and serotyping. Of particular interest, 21.4% of waste milk samples contained residues of the cephalosporin cefquinome, which was significantly associated with CTX-M bacteria. Such bacteria occurred in 5.8% of the waste milk samples (including 3.9% CTX-M E. coli). CTX-M types identified were 1, 14, 14b and 15, but none of the E. coli were serotype O25, the serotype of the human pandemic strain.  相似文献   

Three different levels of dietary vitamin D₃ fed to first-feeding fry of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.): effect on growth, mortality, calcium content and bone formation     

I.E. GRAFF  S. HØIE  G.K. TOTLAND  & Ø. LIE 《Aquaculture Nutrition》2002,8(2):103-111

Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar L.) fry were reared on a fishmeal-based diet with three different levels of vitamin D₃ (0.2, 5 and 57 mg vitamin D₃ kg^–1 feed, ww) from first-feeding for 14 weeks. No significant differences were recorded in weight, length, specific growth rate, mortality, or kidney calcium concentration between the different dietary groups. No skeletal malformations or histopathological changes were recorded in any of the dietary groups. These results suggest Atlantic salmon fry to be highly tolerant of megadoses of vitamin D₃ over a limited period of time.  相似文献   

Experimental infection of turkeys with Mycoplasma gallisepticum of low virulence, transmissibility, and immunogenicity.     

R S Dingfelder  D H Ley  J M McLaren  C Brownie 《Avian diseases》1991,35(4):910-919

Three-week-old turkeys were inoculated intranasally with approximately 10(6) colony-forming units (CFU) of putative variant Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) strains M876, M35, or the virulent S6 reference strain. Uninoculated turkeys in each group served as contact sentinels. The hemagglutination-inhibition (HI) test and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were used to determine serologic responses. MG was isolated from 100% and 92% of S6- and M876-inoculated turkeys, respectively, on day 7 PI. However, culture-positive rates among M876-inoculated turkeys declined more rapidly, transmission to contact sentinels took longer and occurred at lower rates, and serologic responses measured by HI and ELISA were lower than in S6-infected turkeys. Testing sera from inoculated turkeys for antibodies to MG in homologous and heterologous ELISA systems indicated that strain M876 was significantly (P less than 0.05) less immunogenic than S6 (days 62 and 95 PI), and that the homologous ELISA was more sensitive (P less than 0.005). MG strain M35 failed to infect turkeys in three attempts, even though the inocula used were viable on culture media.  相似文献   

Enzyme reaction rates at limited water activities   总被引：9，自引：0，他引：9

A well-mixed powder consisting of dry urea and urease exposed to air containing discrete amounts of water vapor showed a release of carbon-14 dioxide above 60-percent relative humidity. The relative activity of urease followed the water-vapor adsorption isotherm of urease. The minimum amount of water required for the reaction observed was 1.3 moles per mole of side-chain polar groups of the urease protein.  相似文献   

Duplication, deletion, and polymorphism in the sex-determining region of the mouse Y chromosome   总被引：13，自引：0，他引：13

The ZFY gene in the sex-determining region of the human Y chromosome encodes a "zinc-finger" protein that may be the testis-determining factor, TDF. Although the Y chromosomes of most placental mammals carry a single homolog of ZFY, the mouse Y chromosome has two homologs, both in the sex-determining (Sxr) region. Zfy-1 alone may suffice to determine maleness; Zfy-2 is dispensable, as it was deleted in an Sxr variant that retains sex-determining function but has lost other genes. Both loci mapped near the centromere of the mouse Y chromosome. The Y chromosomes of the subspecies Mus musculus musculus and M. m. domesticus were distinguishable by a Zfy-1 restriction fragment polymorphism, which can be used to study their differing interactions with autosomal sex-determining genes.  相似文献   

Polyteny: A Source of Cryptic Speciation among Copepods     

McLaren IA  Woods SM  Shea JR 《Science (New York, N.Y.)》1966,153(3744):1641-1642

A large form of the copepod Pseudocalanus is found in two warm, semi-landlocked fiords in arctic Canada, together with a similar but smaller form attributable to the widespread P. minutus. The large form has the same chromosomne number as P. minutus, but has larger chromosomes and a higher nuclear DNA content. There are suggestions in the literature that other similar polytenic and cryptic species occur among copepods.  相似文献   

The adsorption of copper by soil samples from scotland at low equilibrium solution concentrations     

R.G. McLaren  J.G. Williams  R.S. Swift 《Geoderma》1983,31(2):97-106

At low solution concentrations of copper in the presence of 0.05 M CaCl₂, adsorption isotherms for copper on soil samples were essentially linear. Although no direct correlations were found between isotherm gradients and individual soil properties, the gradients were of the same order of magnitude as predictions based on gradients obtained for some specific soil components. The soil components which appear to be most important in copper adsorption and which were used to obtain the predictions were organic matter and iron and manganese oxides. The amounts of adsorbed copper remaining isotopically exchangeable or extractable with EDTA in the short term increased with the amount of copper adsorbed but the proportions of adsorbed copper estimated by each of these techniques remained constant. Concentrations of copper in solution increased (adsorption decreased) at pH values below 4.5 and above 6.5.  相似文献
