微囊藻毒素在鲋鱼体内生物富集及其体内的抗氧化反应

为了解微囊藻毒索在鲋鱼Carassius auratus L.体内生物富集作用,用LC/MS监测不同时间的鲋鱼肝脏、肌肉,以及饲养用水中痕量的微囊藻毒素.结果显示,肌肉组织中MC-RR和MC-LR的含量在18 d时达到峰值,分别为7.87 ng·g~(-1)和2.18 ng·g~(-1);而肝脏组织中MC-RR和MC-LR的含量在鲋鱼暴露9天时达到最高值,分别为25.30 ng·g~(-1)和33.27ng·g~(-1).研究结果支持肝脏组织是MCs的主要靶向器官,并且表明肝脏组织对MC-LR的富集量远大于MC-RR,而肌肉组织更易于积累MC-RR.文章还研究了鲋鱼体内的抗氧化酶(SOD、CAT、GST、GR酶)的活性变化,对MCs介导的氧化胁迫进行了评估.通过分别测定暴露不同时间点(3、9、18 d)肝脏和肌肉组织中的抗氧化酶的活性,发现它们的活性与组织中MCs的含量基本呈正相关,可能对MCs介导的氧化胁迫有缓解作用.以上表明,MCs能在鱼体内积累,抗氧化系统虽可缓解,但不能完全降解.因此食用被MCs污染的鱼类存在潜在的食品安全风险.     

链格孢菌对白车轴草抗旱性的影响

在盆栽自然水分干旱胁迫条件下,研究了接种链格孢菌(Alternaria tenuis Nees)对白车轴草(Trifolium repens L.)抗旱性相关的生理生化指标的影响,结果表明:接种组与对照组叶片的电导率(EC)、丙二醛(MDA)含量、脯氨酸(Pro)含量均与干旱处理时间呈显著正相关,而叶片相对含水量(RWC)、抗坏血酸(ASA)含量与处理时间呈显著负相关。链格孢菌的侵染能促进干旱胁迫下白车轴草叶片EC和MDA含量的增加,延缓Pro的积累,加速叶片RWC和ASA含量的降低。到达干旱处理的第6天,接种组的EC、MDA含量分别比对照高20.06%、68.79%(p<0.05),而RWC、Pro含量和ASA含量分别比对照低7.03%、25.3%、77.43%(p<0.05)。此外,接种组超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)活性均于处理的第4天开始显著低于对照;过氧化氢酶(CAT)活性也于处理的第6天下降并显著低于对照,为对照的79.79%(p<0.01)。表明链格孢菌会降低干旱胁迫下白车轴草的渗透调节能力和保护酶的活性,加剧活性氧的积累和膜脂过氧化程度,使白车轴草的抗旱性降低。     

暗处理对油菜子叶类囊体膜色素组成和荧光性质的影响

以蜀杂10号油菜为材料,播种7 d后分别置于自然光照条件和黑暗环境中进行暗处理,未处理油菜在d 5、d7、d 14、d 17、d 21、d 24和d 27时收集子叶,暗处理油菜于播种d 8、d 10、d 12和d 14时收集子叶.制备油菜子叶类囊体膜,分析色素含量,并进行类囊体膜丙酮抽提液窜温吸收光谱、叶绿素荧光发射和激发光谱以及蛋白质内源荧光光谱的分析.结果显示:与未处理油菜相比,暗处理引起油菜子叶类囊体膜光合色素Chl a和Chl b含量急剧减少,Chla/b比值和叶绿素/类胡萝卜素(Chl/Car)比值持续下降,类囊体膜对叶绿素的捕光能力和受激发能力降低,类囊体膜蛋白质内源荧光强度降低,以及色素蛋白复合物降解.上述结果表明,暗处理诱导油菜子叶快速进入衰老阶段,类囊体膜蛋白组成和色素的光合功能均发生了明显的变化.图10参23     

丁草胺对镉胁迫条件下水稻生长、镉积累及活性氧代谢的影响

以2个水稻品种(秀水110和秀水11)为材料,通过水培试验和土培试验研究了除草剂丁草胺对Cd2 胁迫条件下水稻植株生长、Cd2 积累和活性氧代谢的影响.研究结果表明.水培条件下,丁草胺浓度的增加显著地加剧了Cd2 胁迫条件下水稻生长抑制程度,进一步导致叶绿素含量显著下降,促进了2个品种水稻植株对Cd2 的吸收,引起水稻叶片的O-2产生速率、H202和MDA含量增加.且显著改变了SOD、CAT和G-POD活性;同条件下丁草胺浓度的增加使水稻叶片SOD/O-2、SOD/G-POD、SOD/CAT、CAT/H2O2和G-POD/H2O2的比值均发生了偏离;推测丁草胺加剧了水稻Cd2 胁迫时植株活性氧代谢不平衡过程.土培条件下,丁草胺对水稻糙米中Cd2 积累量也具有显著促进作用.

Effect of chromium on growth attributes in sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.)

Heavy metal soil pollution takes place when the metal concentration of soil exceeds natural background level and causes ecological destruction and deterioration of the environment.In the present study,a pot experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of chromium-contaminated soil in sunflower(Helianthus annuus L.)growth attributes.Three different levels of chromium(Cr)i.e.,20, 40,and 60 mg/kg were applied to three varieties of sunflower(G-3,G-9,and G-59).The results of morphological,chemical,and yield p...

Aqueous extracts from various plant parts of fenugreek(3%)(aerial parts:leaves and stems(LS),roots(R),ground seeds(GS)and not ground seeds(NGS))and petroleum ether,ethyl acetate and methanolic fractions of the aerial parts were assayed to determine their antifungal potential against Botrytis cinerea,Fusarium graminearum,Alternaria sp.,Pythium aphanidermatum,and Rhizoctinia solani.All fenugreek plant parts showed antifungal potential and the magnitude of their inhibitory effects was species and plant parts d...     

Social licence and mining: A critical perspective

In 2002 the International Institute of Environment and Development published the landmark report Breaking New Ground: Mining, Minerals and Sustainable Development (MMSD). The report portrayed an industry distrusted by stakeholders and under threat from opposition groups. When read closely, the MMSD report reveals an inextricable link between industry's ‘survival’ instincts and the notion of a social licence. Within the context of a growing divergence around the expectations of minerals-led development, social licence has emerged as an industry response to opposition and a mechanism to ensure the viability of the sector. The objective of this article is to reinvigorate discussion and debate over how best to frame the industry's social and environmental obligations and how these obligations can be met by the sector. Where social licence has contributed to raising the profile of social issues within a predominantly industrial discourse, a primary failure is its inability to articulate a collaborative developmental agenda for the sector or a pathway forward in restoring the lost confidence of impacted communities, stakeholders, and pressure groups. We argue that a necessary first step in this process is for industry to reconcile its internal risk-orientation with external expectations which requires a less defensive and more constructive approach to stakeholder engagement and collaboration.     

耕作方式对太湖地区冬小麦生长季N2O排放的影响

采用静态暗箱-气相色谱法对2009年11月至2010年6月冬小麦(Triticum aestivum L.)生长季N2O排放通量进行田间原位观测,研究不同耕作方式(免耕、少耕、传统耕作)对太湖地区稻麦轮作系统麦季土壤N2O排放的影响。结果表明:有植株参与下免耕、少耕和传统耕作的冬小麦生长季N2O平均排放通量分别为63.75μg·m-2·h-1、39.94μg·m-2.h-1和48.83μg·m-2·h-1,无植株参与下分别为73.48μg·m-2·h-1、52.97μg·m-2·h-1和63.60μg·m-2·h-1,麦季N2O排放通量的季节变化与5 cm、10 cm土壤温度呈显著或极显著线性正相关(r=0.400*～0.654**,n=28)。小麦种植对N2O的排放影响较大,无植株参与的N2O季节总排放量显著高于有植株参与的处理(P<0.05);耕作方式显著影响冬小麦农田N2O季节总排放量(P<0.05),有植株参与下麦季N2O总排放量少耕较免耕和传统耕作分别减少37.3%和17.9%,无植株参与下分别减少28.0%和16.7%。研究表明太湖地区冬小麦采用少耕措施可减少麦季N2O的排放。
