Excessive use of nitrogen(N) fertilizers in agricultural systems increases the cost of production and risk of environmental pollution. Therefore, determination of optimum N requirements for plant growth is necessary. Previous studies mostly established critical N dilution curves based on aboveground dry matter(DM) or leaf dry matter(LDM) and stem dry matter(SDM), to diagnose the N nutrition status of the whole plant. As these methods are time consuming, we investigated the more rapidly determined leaf area index(LAI) method to establish the critical nitrogen(N_c) dilution curve, and the curve was used to diagnose plant N status for winter wheat in Guanzhong Plain in Northwest China. Field experiments were conducted using four N fertilization levels(0, 105, 210 and 315 kg ha-1) applied to six wheat cultivars in the 2013–2014 and 2014–2015 growing seasons. LAI, DM, plant N concentration(PNC) and grain yield were determined. Data points from four cultivars were used for establishing the N_c curve and data points from the remaining two cultivars were used for validating the curve. The N_c dilution curve was validated for N-limiting and non-N-limiting growth conditions and there was good agreement between estimated and observed values. The N nutrition index(NNI) ranged from 0.41 to 1.25 and the accumulated plant N deficit(N_(and)) ranged from 60.38 to –17.92 kg ha~(-1) during the growing season. The relative grain yield was significantly affected by NNI and was adequately described with a parabolic function. The N_c curve based on LAI can be adopted as an alternative and more rapid approach to diagnose plant N status to support N fertilization decisions during the vegetative growth of winter wheat in Guanzhong Plain in Northwest China.  相似文献   

Estimation of the relative bioavailability of copper sources in chicks fed on conventional dietary amounts     

M. A. Zanetti  P. R. Henry  C. B. Ammerman  R. D. Miles 《British poultry science》1991,32(3):583-588

1. Tissue accumulation of Cu from dietary additions of 0, 5, 10, or 20 mg/kg Cu as reagent grade Cu acetate and feed grade Cu carbonate was determined in day‐old chicks fed on conventional maize‐soyabean meal starter diets (5.41 mg/kg Cu as‐fed basis) for 3 weeks.

2. Average daily food intake, daily weight gain and food conversion were similar among treatments.

3. There were linear increases in plasma and liver Cu concentrations (P< 0.01) as dietary Cu increased.

4. Bioavailability of Cu as carbonate was 0.66 that of Cu in the acetate based on the multiple regression slope ratio of liver Cu concentration on added dietary Cu. Although responses for the two Cu sources did not differ significantly, the relative bioavailability of the Cu carbonate was similar (0.66 vs 0.68) to that obtained in an earlier study (Ledoux et al., 1991) with greater dietary Cu contents (150, 300 and 450 mg/kg) in which the slopes of the equations representing the two sources differed (P<0.05).  相似文献   

Comparative lipid and lipoprotein metabolism     

Bauer JE JE 《Veterinary clinical pathology / American Society for Veterinary Clinical Pathology》1996,25(2):49-56

This review summarizes a number of recent reports in several areas of lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Absorption of dietary lipids, cholesterol synthesis, and biliary cholesterol metabolism are mentioned only briefly to be complete. Comparative aspects of lipoprotein metabolism, however, are detailed in an effort to integrate the myriad metabolic events which characterize these important lipid transport particles. Where comparative information is known, those aspects of lipoprotein metabolism that may be protective against atherogenesis in certain mammalian species are also described. Efforts to understand atherogenic resistance comparatively in animals lends a better understanding of the metabolic events leading to coronary artery disease in humans. They also provide an important basis for understanding lipid metabolism in numerous veterinary species.  相似文献   

Diagnostic imaging of oronasal fistulas in a dachshund          下载免费PDF全文

B. L. Mulherin  J. R. Ewing  K. Miles 《The Journal of small animal practice》2018,59(6):373-377

Oronasal fistula development is described anecdotally as a common disease process in the dachshund but little is known about its imaging appearance. This case report describes the clinical presentation, computed tomography (CT) characterisation, dental radiograph confirmation and treatment of bilateral oronasal fistulas in a 14‐year‐old dachshund.  相似文献

Gas-liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric determination of alpha- and beta-naphthylamines in FD&C Red No. 2 (amaranth)     

B Stavric  R Klassen  W Miles 《Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists》1979,62(5):1020-1026

A method is described for the simultaneous quantitation of trace amounts of alpha- (alpha-NA) and beta-naphthylamines (beta-NA) with detectability in the 0.1 ppb range and sensitivity of 50 picomoles in certified food grade amaranth (FD&C Red No. 2; C.I. Food Red 9; CI 16185). The amaranth sample is extracted with benzene, and the evoporated residue is derivatized with perfluorooctanoic anhydride. The resulting derivatives are separated by gas-liquid chromatography and identified and quantitated by mass spectrometric monitoring of the m/e at 539.04. The method was used for quantitation of alpha-NA and beta-NA in randomly chosen samples of amaranth. Of 11 samples from different manufacturers, 5 were free of the beta-isomer; the remaining samples contained up to 1.2 ppb beta-NA. The concentration of alpha-NA ranged from no detectable amount to 970 ppb; the majority of the samples contained less than 7 ppb.  相似文献   

Gas-liquid chromatographic determination of monosodium glutamate in soups and soup bases.     

H B Conacher  J R Iyengar  W F Miles  H G Botting 《Journal of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists》1979,62(3):604-609

A method is given for determining monosodium glutamate (MSG) in soups and soup bases by gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) of the trimethylsilyl ether derivative of glutamic acid. This method compared favorably with existing methods including GLC of the trifluoroacetate (TFA)/butyl ester derivative, and analysis on an amino acid analyzer. In addition, some samples were analyzed by GLC/mass spectrometry. The MSG content of various products ranged from approximately 0.2% in some condensed soups to 13.1% on bouillon cubes. The method, which can detect as little as 0.05%, requires only a 10 min single step derivatization at room temperature and is preferred to the TFA/butyl ester technique.  相似文献
