Effects of reciprocal hybridization on cadmium accumulation in F1 hybrids of two Solanum photeinocarpum ecotypes

In this study, farmland and mining ecotypes of Solanum photeinocarpum (a potential cadmium (Cd) hyperaccumulator plant) were reciprocally hybridized each other, and the Cd accumulation characteristics of the F1 hybrids were studied. In pot experiments, higher biomasses and Cd extraction abilities were found for two S. photeinocarpum F1 hybrids than for the parents, but the Cd contents in various organs were lower in the hybrids than the parents. However, the differences between the Cd contents in the two hybrids were not significant. The antioxidant enzyme (superoxide dismutase and peroxidase) activities were higher for the S. photeinocarpum F1 hybrids than the parents. Less DNA methylation was found in the hybrids than the parents because more demethylation occurred in the hybrids than the parents. The biomass, Cd content, and Cd extraction ability effects in field experiments were similar to the effects in the pot experiments. It was concluded that reciprocally hybridizing different S. photeinocarpum ecotypes improved the ability of S. photeinocarpum to be used to phytoremediate contaminated land.

     

厌氧膜生物反应器的现状、挑战和前景

铜陵某富硫尾矿库周边土壤重金属污染特征及风险评价

铜陵某尾矿库堆积大量富硫尾矿,为研究其氧化状况及对周边土壤的污染情况,在尾矿库和周边采集尾矿及土壤样品,测试分析尾矿及土壤样品典型重金属(Hg、As、Cr、Cd、Pb、Zn)含量和赋存形态,并基于单因子污染指数法和内梅罗综合污染指数法对土壤污染状况进行了评价。结果表明:(1)尾矿中Fe_2O_3平均占比达到38.08%(质量分数,下同),S平均占比达到5.34%;(2)尾矿库周边土壤中Cd、As、Zn、Hg严重超标,分别为《土壤环境质量农用地土壤污染风险管控标准(试行)》(GB 15618—2018)风险筛选值的6.3、3.7、1.8、1.5倍;(3)土壤中重金属主要以残渣态形式存在,但Cd、Hg、Zn的非残渣态平均占比均达到25%以上,生物有效性较高,对周边环境存在潜在危害;(4)两种污染指数法评价结果表明,尾矿库周边土壤以Cd、As、Zn污染为主,该富硫尾矿库已对周边环境造成重度污染。     

1961~2017年中国不同等级寒冷天气日数时空演变特征

基于气象行业的“寒冷程度等级”,采用1961~2017年中国545个日值最低气温站点数据,从气候态特征、变化趋势和波动特征3个方面分析近57年来中国不同寒冷天气日数时空演变特征。结果表明：（1）1961~2017年中国寒冷天气日数随着寒冷等级降低而逐渐增多。其中极寒和严寒天气日数仅分布在高纬度、高海拔地区。随着寒冷等级降低,寒冷天气日数逐渐向南方发展。（2）1961~2017年中国不同等级寒冷天气日数变化趋势具有各自不同的空间分异特征。高等级寒冷天气日数以减少趋势为主,且主要集中在高纬度、高海拔地区;随着寒冷等级降低,寒冷天气日数呈增加和减少趋势的范围不断增加。1991~2017年的高等级寒冷天气日数变化趋势相比1961~1990年偏小;随着寒冷等级增高,趋势偏大的地区不断增多。（3）1961~2017年中国高等级寒冷天气日数在高纬度、高海拔地区波动较大;随着寒冷等级降低,寒冷天气日数波动较大的地区逐渐向南方发展,且呈现出南方波动大、北方波动小的特征。中低等级寒冷天气日数波动差异特征分别集中在长江流域地区和南方沿海沿边地区。高等级寒冷天气日数波动差异特征则主要集中于高纬度、高海拔地区。     

含贯通节理岩体锚固界面应力分布规律分析∗

在拉拔条件下,对全长注浆锚杆在含贯通节理岩体中界面应力分布规律进行分析研究。修订了无节理岩体界面剪应力分布函数,确定了一定条件下修订系数的取值,定义了应力传递参数C,采用有限差分软件Flac3d分析了其影响因子c、φ、ψ、β的影响作用。确定了主影响因子锚固角β,并且在修订公式中加入了锚固角β因子。分析了不同锚固角度下浆-岩界面剪应力的分布规律。结果表明,在带肋钢筋肋间处产生应力集中现象,注浆体起到了均化作用。在拉拔条件下含贯通节理岩体主要在锚端与节理面附近发生应力集中现象。上下部岩体浆-岩界面剪应力呈双曲线形式分布。浆-岩界面剪应力随着锚固角β减小,呈先减小后增大趋势。意味着当锚杆锚固角度在60°附近时,对岩体的锚固效果最好。
