锌铬复合污染对水稻根系可溶性糖代谢的影响

植物具有逐步适应逆境的能力,在不同生育期对逆境的适应程度不同。可溶性糖是植物碳代谢的主要物质之一,与植物的抗性有密切关系。通过盆栽试验,研究了锌铬复合污染下,在水稻(Oryza sativa L.)不同生育期,水稻根系可溶性糖的代谢。结果表明,随着土壤中锌、铬质量分数的增加,在水稻不同生育期,其根干质量及地上部分干质量均呈降低的趋势,而根冠比呈现一定的升高趋势;水稻根系可溶性糖含量呈升高的趋势。偏相关分析表明,在水稻不同生育期,土壤中锌、铬质量分数与水稻根系可溶性糖含量均呈显著或极显著的偏相关关系。锌在水稻孕穗期及灌浆结实期对水稻根系可溶性糖含量的作用均大于铬,在分蘖期小于铬。这表明在重金属胁迫下,水稻通过增加其根系中可溶性糖含量来协调源流库的关系,从而提高自身对锌铬复合污染的生态适应能力。     

砷污染土壤对不同品种水稻生长的影响

重金属如何影响水稻(Oryza sativa L.)的生长及产量一直是粮食生产中的研究重点。利用盆栽实验,首次比较了砷(As)对三个品系(杂交稻、常规稻和糯稻)共20个品种水稻生长的影响,以期选定适合在As污染区种植的水稻品种。结果显示,不同品系水稻在As污染土壤中的生长显著不同,杂交稻的生长优于糯稻和常规稻,但糯稻和常规稻差异不显著,表明杂交稻更适宜在砷污染土壤种植。同一品系内不同品种水稻的生长也有较大差异,杂交稻II优804的干物质积累量最高,每株达到0.055g。     

Bark salicylates and condensed tannins reduce vole browsing amongst cultivated dark-leaved willows (<Emphasis Type="Italic">Salix myrsinifolia</Emphasis>)

Summary. Vole feeding amongst herbal willows that have a high concentration of salicylates in their bark and leaves, and may therefore be cultivated for use as raw material for herbal medicine was tested in the field and in laboratory conditions. Eight clones of dark-leaved willow (Salix myrsinifolia Salisb.) were cultivated for two years with six different methods combining three fertilisation levels (none, low and high), black plastic mulch applied for suppressing weed competition and unmulched control. Samples for the laboratory feeding trial were taken from the unfertilised plants during willow winter dormancy and twigs were fed to 16 voles as a multi-choice experiment. The bark area removed was calculated from image analysis of the material left by the voles. The diameter and the bark thickness of the twigs were measured. Concentrations of salicin, salicortin, HCH-salicortin, picein, triandrin, triandrin derivative, gallocatechin, (+)-catechin, luteolin-7-glucoside, hyperin, total condensed tannins and total nitrogen were measured from the twigs fed to voles in the laboratory. Browsing by a natural population of voles amongst winter-dormant willows was measured in the field. In the laboratory, voles browsed on 80% of the twigs and in the field voles browsed on 33% of the twigs. Vole feeding followed similar patterns in the field and in the laboratory experiment; feeding was clearly higher amongst the plants grown in unmulched control compared to those in plastic mulch. The same clones, 1, 2 and 6 were preferred in both experiments. Voles preferred thin twigs to thick ones. Feeding correlated negatively with concentrations of salicylates and tannins. As vole feeding seems to be highly affected by willow cultivation method and plant genotype, careful selection of cultivated clones and cultivation methods can enhance the reliability of herbal willow cultivation.

低温对高产杂交稻抽穗期剑叶光合色素含量和抗氧化酶活性的影响

以高产杂交稻“两优培九”和常规杂交稻“汕优63”为试验材料,采用15和20℃处理2和4 d,比较低温对水稻抽穗期剑叶光合色素含量和抗氧化酶活性的影响。结果表明:低温下抽穗期水稻剑叶光合色素(叶绿素、类胡萝卜素)含量随处理时间延长而下降,抗氧化酶CAT活性下降,SOD、POD活性变化存在品种间差异。低温处理4 d后,“两优培九”SOD活性上升,POD活性降低,“汕优63”变化则相反。抗氧化酶之间活性变化的不平衡,使活性氧的产生与清除失衡,O2-迅速积累,膜脂过氧化加剧,MDA含量上升。这些变化导致水稻剑叶净光合速率在低温下降低。试验结果表明,高产杂交稻“两优培九”比常规杂交稻“汕优63”对低温的适应能力更强。     

苯胺对小鼠成纤维细胞L929的体外毒性评价

探讨不同浓度的苯胺化合物对小鼠成纤维细胞L929的体外毒性作用,为满足危险化学品分类鉴定和风险评估需求、更好地预防环境化合物对人体健康的损害提供理论依据。体外培养L929细胞,分别将不同浓度的苯胺化合物(0、0.001、0.01、0.1、1、10μg·mL~(-1))加入培养基中处理细胞,在不同时间点分别取材,MTT检测细胞增殖率,AO/PI染色检测细胞存活率,Annexin V-PI染色后流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡,相关检测试剂盒测定细胞内活性氧(ROS)的含量及总谷胱甘肽的含量。结果表明,高浓度(1、10μg·mL~(-1))的苯胺化合物对L929细胞的生长和增殖具有显著的抑制效应。即使浓度降低至0.1μg·mL~(-1),在处理48 h后,细胞的存活数量显著下降,说明其对细胞增殖具有浓度和时间的累积效应和依赖性。同时,对各组细胞采用流式细胞仪测定细胞凋亡,发现低浓度的苯胺对细胞凋亡影响并不明显,但高浓度的苯胺处理后,细胞凋亡和坏死数量显著增加。ROS含量和GSH含量检测结果显示,较低浓度的苯胺对细胞氧化应激反应并无显著影响,但浓度至0.1μg·mL~(-1)时,细胞较对照组出现明显的氧化应激反应,说明细胞已受损,再继续培养将会导致细胞死亡。上述研究结果提示,高浓度苯胺化合物可显著影响L929细胞存活率,且具有时间和浓度累积效应。其毒性机制可能与细胞内活性氧增加、谷胱甘肽耗竭有关。     

Contribution of heavy metals and As-loaded lupin root mineralization to the availability of the pollutants in multi-contaminated soils

White lupin (Lupinus albus L.) is an annual crop that has been used for phytostabilization of acidified multi-contaminated soils. Once the culture cycle is over, after shoot harvesting, a progressive transference of contaminants from roots to soil may take place as decomposition of roots occurs. An incubation experiment with Cu, Zn, Cd, and As-loaded roots of white lupin and soils with different pH values and concentrations of these contaminants from the area affected by a mine spill at Aznalcóllar (near Seville, Spain) was performed in order to assess the effect of the decomposition of the roots to the pH and (NH4)2SO4-extractable levels of these pollutants in the soils. Pollutants loaded-roots were mineralized (56 d) at a ratio similar to animal manures (15.8-19.4% of total organic carbon) in soil. The estimated root inputs of contaminants in comparison to their extractable concentrations in soil were high, especially in the control, non-contaminated and neutral contaminated soils. However, the extractable concentrations of the toxic elements in the soil were mainly governed by soil pH. Hence, the correction and maintenance of the soil pH within the range 5-6 after lupin culture is essential for long-time phytostabilization of acidified multi-contaminated soils.     

Identification of Chinese cabbage genotypes with low cadmium accumulation for food safety

The pot-culture experiment and field studies were conducted to screen out and identify cadmium (Cd) excluders from 40 Chinese cabbage genotypes for food safety. The results of the pot-culture experiment indicated that the shoot Cd concentrations under three treatments (1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 mg Cd kg⁻¹ Soil) varied significantly (p < 0.05), with average values of 0.70, 3.07 and 5.83 mg kg⁻¹, respectively. The Cd concentrations in 12 cabbage genotypes were lower than 0.50 mg kg⁻¹. The enrichment factors (EFs) and translocation factors (TFs) in 8 cabbage genotypes were lower than 1.0. The field studies further identified Lvxing 70 as a Cd-excluder genotype (CEG), which is suitable to be planted in low Cd-contaminated soils (Cd concentration should be lower than 1.25 mg kg⁻¹) for food safety.

Mission impossible?: Adopting a CSR-based business model for extractive industries in developing countries

Corporations in the extractive industries often state their commitment to “corporate social responsibility” principles, but their actual implementation of these principles, particularly in developing countries, is questionable. This contradiction between rhetoric and reality is attributable to the fact that these companies have not fully integrated CSR into their business models. This can been seen in assessments of projects' costs and benefits, project and technology selection, respect for community consent, and performance incentive structures. The Marlin gold mine in Guatemala provides a concrete example of these sharp contradictions between stated CSR commitments and actual performance.
