Sacred sites as habitats of culturally important plant species in an Indian megacity     

《Urban Forestry & Urban Greening》2018

Cultural ecosystem services related to urban green spaces contribute significantly to liveable cities. While previous studies highlight the intersection of cultural ecosystem services with societal values, spiritual or religious values associated with urban nature have received less attention. In India, as in other parts of the world, sacred sites are known for their biological richness, but analyses from urban sacred sites are largely missing. Based on a stratified random sampling approach, we analysed the cultivated and wild plant species assemblages of 69 sacred sites in the megacity of Bengaluru, India, in relation to biological and cultural features, and parameters related to the urban matrix and type of sacred sites (temple vs. katte). Unlike other urban studies, we found a dominance of native species in the cultivated and spontaneous species pools (121 species in total), with Ficus religiosa and Azadirachta indica as most frequently planted species. Culturally relevant species prevailed in the species pool (89%), with overlaps between religious (36%), medicinal (50%) and ornamental (62%) plants; only 11% of species were weeds. Urban matrix parameters (age of development, housing density) and size and type of sacred sites were related to differences in species assemblages. We identified key species for different classes of age and housing density, and for types of sacred sites. Our study demonstrates that urban sacred sites have an important potential in harbouring both native and culturally significant species that can support urban livelihoods in developing countries by a range of cultural and provisioning ecosystem services, including medicinal uses. As such sites are conserved by communities for spiritual or cultural beliefs, local biodiversity can be enhanced, e.g. by adapting management practices through community participation. This would strengthen the important contribution of sacred sites within the green infrastructure of rapidly growing megacities.  相似文献   

11个葡萄品种在乐山地区的花芽分化规律     

张顺英  周勇  刘忠  钟倩  周世彬 《落叶果树》2020,52(3):18-21

研究了11个葡萄品种3年生树在四川乐山地区避雨栽培条件下的花芽分化表现。结果表明,结果母枝的花芽分化率,魏可、维多利亚、黑芭拉多、金手指、金优2号和巨玫瑰6个品种的都高于50%,较易形成花芽;户太8号、巨峰、夏黑的在43%~48%;美人指和红指较难形成花芽。结果母枝不同节位的花芽分化率,多数品种在第3节位≥50%;结果枝上花穗着生节位在第3.8~4.9节,其中双花率以巨玫瑰、巨峰和户太8号较高,分别为83.45%、73.61%和73.06%。以结果母枝的花芽分化率≥50%节位作为冬剪的最低节位,则金优2号、户太8号、巨玫瑰、金手指、维多利亚5个品种在第3~4节,黑芭拉多和巨峰2个品种在第2~3节,魏可在1~2节。夏黑表现花芽分化率较低,为43.33%,可能与夏黑不耐弱光有关,设施栽培时应加强透光性。  相似文献

A releaser pheromone that attracts methyltestosterone- treated immature fish in the urine of ovulated female rainbow trout     

Hidenobu Yambe  Fumio Yamazaki 《Fisheries Science》2001,67(2):214-220

SUMMARY: Behavioral experiments concerning a releaser pheromone in the urine of female rainbow trout were performed using immature fish administered orally with 17α-methyltestosterone (MT) during the non-spawning season. The urine was collected by catheter. The frequency of entries of test fish was recorded in each channel scented by test and control solutions in a Y-maze trough. The behavior of both MT-treated and control fish demonstrated that they could not discriminate the differences between distilled and environmental water as control solutions. There was also no difference between MT-treated and control fish when distilled and environmental water were introduced. The MT-treated immature fish were attracted to the channel scented by ovulated female urine. Neither coelomic fluid nor the immature female urine had any effect on the behavioral responses of MT-treated fish, while immature control fish had no preference for the urine of ovulated females. These results suggest in rainbow trout that ovulated female urine contains a releaser pheromone to attract mature males, and that androgens are involved in the sensory mechanisms detecting the releaser pheromone in fish.  相似文献   

饥饿、季节及性别对大鲵肌肉、肝脏生化成分的影响     

杨代勤 《湖北农学院学报》1990,(3)

季节会影响到大鲵肌肉的脂肪及钙的含量,肝脏的脂肪、钙及游离氨基酸的含量,饥饿对肌肉的酸化成分不产生影响,但饥饿程度的增加,会对肝脏脂肪无氮浸出物及游离氨基酸产生影响;繁殖前雌性大鲵的肌肉肝脏的肪肪含量均高于雄性的。  相似文献   

赤霉酸及矮壮素对苦瓜性别表现的影响     

汪俏梅  曾广文 《浙江大学学报(农业与生命科学版)》1996,(5)

以兰山大白、株洲长白和英引３个苦瓜品种为材料进行外源激素处理对苦瓜植株性别表现影响的试验．结果表明，苗期进行ＧＡ３２５～１００ｍｇ／Ｌ处理有明显的促雌效果；ＣＣＣ５０～２００ｍｇ／Ｌ处理则有促雄效果，但促雄程度因品种而异，ＣＣＣ５００ｍｇ／Ｌ处理对兰山大白有适度的促雌作用．外源激素处理对苦瓜植株性别分化的影响可持续８０ｄ以上．苦瓜第一雌花形成与茎尖ＧＡ３含量达到峰值有关，２５ｍｇ／Ｌ的ＧＡ３处理使茎尖ＧＡ３含量的峰值提前出现而使第一雌花形成提早，而１００ｍｇ／ＬＣＣＣ处理使茎尖ＧＡ３含量先下降再逐渐回升而使植株第一雌花形成滞后  相似文献   

狗舌草提取物诱导淋巴细胞性白血病L1210细胞分化的研究     

陈进军  王建华 《中国兽医科技》2005,35(11):892-894

以单猪屎豆碱（MO）、槲皮素（QU）和环磷酰胺（CY）为参照，观察了狗舌草600mL／L乙醇提取物（EX）对淋巴细胞性白血病L1210细胞体外试验的形态变化；利用流式细胞术，从DNA分子水平上检查了EX对L1210细胞各周期相的影响，探讨EX对L1210细胞的分化机理。结果发现，EX能够使L1210细胞向淋巴细胞方向发展；经EX作用24h后，L1210细胞G0＋G1期的百分比较对照组明显升高。提示EX对L1210细胞增殖的抑制作用可能是由于G1期的阻滞所致。  相似文献   

控制sch单养雄蚕品种雌雄蚕孵出比例的催青处理因素研究   总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0  

陈萍  鲁成  朱勇  向仲怀 《蚕业科学》2002,28(1):31-34

研究结果表明 :在RH 6 0 %状态下 ,控制性比的温度和下限时间负相关达到显著水平 ;控制性比的高温处理适于干燥状态下进行 ;处理后雌蚕孵化整齐度明显低于雄蚕孵化整齐度 ,雌雄蚕孵化整齐度均随处理温度的升高而下降 ,尤以雌蚕更为明显。由此提出了在RH 6 0 %状态下sch单养雄蚕品种控制性比的起点温度及温度、时间范围。认为高温催青用下限温度配合 1日收蚁法效果好 ,高温处理以后的胚胎适于在RH 80 %～ 85 %的湿度中保护  相似文献

蒙超衡  韦精卫  黄奔  韦力  石德顺 《中国兽医学报》2004,24(5):494-498

用单层分化法研究了 ES细胞从 0～ 316 h(第 14天 )的神经分化过程。无饲养层培养的 ES细胞在无血清的N2 B2 7培养基中开始神经分化。从 72 h开始 ,神经外胚层的特异性转录因子 Sox1表达 ,在克隆的边缘逐渐出现向外迁移的细胞 ,形状呈圆形或椭圆形 ,有 1～ 2个细胞突起。在 191h(第 8天 )之后 ,细胞可迁移至克隆边缘的 2 0 0 μm之外 ,这些有细长突起的细胞表达神经元特异性蛋白 Tau。以后 ,迁移细胞的突起开始交叠成网状。 316 h(第 14天 )时 ,细长的纤维可跨越在不同的克隆之间 ,长达上千微米。此时 ,免疫染色的结果表明 ,在克隆的中央有较多的圆形 Nestin阳性细胞 ,而克隆的边缘有大量的 β- tubulin 阳性细胞 ,它们交织成复杂的网状图像。阶段性表达基因的表达时序研究表明 ,ES细胞的特异性转录因子 Oct4开始减弱时 ,Sox1表达开始 ,此时细胞由全能状态进入早期神经分化状态 ;Tau的表达是 Sox1表达的下游事件。这一时序与胚胎发育中神经发生的时序相符。单层分化法能直观地展示 ES细胞的神经分化过程 ,可作为研究细胞分化、胚胎发育及药物筛选的体外模型  相似文献
