Western flower thrip( Frankliniella occidentalis) has been confirmed to be the most efficient vector for INSV. In the present study,Illumina's second-generation sequencing technique was used to determine the variation in gene expression at the transcriptome level in western flower thrip before and after infection with INSV. By aligning 168 188 unigenes of western flower thrip to the NCBI protein database,47 558 unigenes were annotated,accounting for 28. 27% of the total. Species classification revealed that 58. 7% of the annotated unigenes of western flower thrip did not match any other species,and 15. 4% of had a match in Zootermopsis navadensis,12. 4% in Mus musculus,7. 3% in Mustela putorius,3. 4% in Theileria parva,and 2. 7% in Tribolium castaneum. By analyzing DEGs between INSV-free and INSV-carrying western flower thrips,we found that 11 genes were upregulated,and 9 genes were downregulated in western flower thrip after INSV infection. In addition,cell cycle and ubiquitin-proteasome pathway in western flower thrip were significantly infected by INSV infection.展开更多

This study aimed at identifying the main pathogens causing tuber rot during storage ofA. muelleri and screening the effective fungicides, so as to prolong the storage period ofA. muelleri and decrease the losses. Isolation and identification, as well as pathogenicity test and retro-inoculation experiments were made for the pathogen causing tuber rot during storage ofA. muelleri in Kunming city, Yunnan province, China. The effective fungicides for the main pathogens were also screened in the laboratory. Six fungi were identified as the pathogens causing tuber rot of A. muelleri, which were Fusarium solani （Mart,） Sacc., Fusarium oxysporum Schlecht., Botrytis cinerea Pers., Alternaria alternata （Fr.） Keissl., Rhizopus nigricans Ehrenb., Penicillium ulaiense Hsieh, Su ＆ Tzean. The main pathogens causing postharvest diseases ofA. muelleri were F. solani, F. oxysporum and B. cinerea. The isolation frequencies of them were 33.9%, 10.5% and 19.4%, respectively. After artificial inoculation, the incidence of tubers infected by F. solani, F. oxysporum and B. cinerea was 100%, 83% and 95%, respectively. The results of chemical screening showed that, in potato dextrose agar （PDA） media plate, the compounds Fludioxonil （50% WP） and Boscalid （50% WG） were the most effective in controlling the three main pathogens, and the average effect reached more than 97%. The test of fungicidal antisepsis on tubers consisted ofA. muelleri being dipped in the 9,000x diluted solution of Fludioxonil （50% WP） or in the 3,500x diluted solution of Boscalid （50% WG） for 3 min and stored at room temperature （25 ℃） for 7 d and 15 d, respectively. The fungicidal effects of Fludioxonil against F. solani, F. oxysporum and B. cinerea for 7 d and 15 d were 88.6%/83.2%, 90.1%/84.7% and 93.0%/91.5%, respectively, whereas the fungicidal effects of Boscalid were 87.0%/85.3%, 89.0%/85.6% and 89.2%/89.1%, respectively. The results may provide useful information for the control ofpostharvest diseases ofA. muelleri.展开更多

It could perform startup and shutdown operations repeatedly when the wind fluctuates around the startup speed. The excessive stress induced by frequent startup and shutdown could enhance the likelihood of component failure and hence negatively impact the availability of a wind turbine. Startup speed with dead band is proposed in this article to prevent the wind turbine from frequent startup. 22 years wind data from the Cheung Chau wind station in Hong Kong are analyzed to evaluate the reduction in the number of startup and potential loss of wind power production using the proposed approach. Numerical simulation suggests that the number of startup could be reduced by half with trivial reduction in potential wind power generation in most of investigated sites once an appropriate dead band is adopted.展开更多

Despite the fast increase in sustainable assessment tools developed locally or adopted from overseas, there are still criticisms about the current situation of weak implementation and lack of comprehensive consideration. The lack of consideration of economic and social aspects or building performance on whole building life cycle all lead to departure from the true meaning of sustainable development. And lack of participation on the part of stakeholders makes it too theoretical to be carried out. This research aims to develop a model to address this problem. This research started with review of current sustainable assessment tools applied in China. As the assessment indicators have clear regional disparities, and almost no current tool considers all three pillars of environmental, economic and social in building life cycle. An industry survey was therefore designed for generation of indicators at different building stages, and personal interviews relevant to different occupation in building industry were conducted to complement the questionnaire survey. After that, the model Building Sustainable Score (BSS) was developed based on the stakeholders’ participation. Finally, the model is verified by a case study.展开更多

The investigation for 2 consecutive years in Jietou Region of Tengchong County, a major tobacco planting area in Yunan, showed that： ① More than 80% of the pesticides purchased by farmers were used for tobacco cultivation, which was 4 times that of conventional crops planting, and most of the packaging materials were plastic bags; ② The main way for farmers to dispose plastic bags was to burn or discard them in the field garbage collection baskets; ③ In combination with field surveys, an average of 4.54 pieces of pesticide packaging wastes were scattered around every 667 m^2 of tobacco field. In addition, the number reduced significantly after carrying out pesticide packaging wastes recycling and control project at the local smoke station. At the same time, the average number of pesticide packaging wastes in the field collection baskets increased. Therefore, it can effectively control pesticide packaging wastes by changing the type of pesticide packaging, encouraging the establishment of recycling system and strengthening the cognitive training of farmers.展开更多

文摘To evaluate the role of nitric oxide in the biological effects of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and the possible mechanism of VEGF,the in vitro cultured vascular endothelial cells of rabbit aorta were divided into control group,VEGF-treated group and VEGF+N-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester(L-NAME)-treated group.The absorbance(A)value of vascular endothelial cells and the levels of prostaglandin(PGI2),endothelin-1(ET-1)and von Willebrand factor(vWF)in the supernatant were observed by water-soluble tetrazo-lium salt assay,radioimmunoassay and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.The A values and PGI2 in VEGF-treated group and VEGF+L-NAME-treated group were higher than those in control group(P<0.05 and P<0.01).The ET-1 and vWF were significantly decreased in VEGF-treated group and VEGF+L-NAME-treated group com-pared with the control(P<0.05 and P<0.01).These results indicate that VEGF could promote the proliferation and secretion of PGI2 and inhibit the secretion of ET-1 and vWF in vascular endothelial cells and that L-NAME could inhibit the effect of VEGF partially.Nitric oxide is an important mediator in the process of stimulating prolifera-tion and regulating secretion of vascular endothelial cells by VEGF.

文摘To evaluate the mechanism of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)on the prevention of restenosis after angioplasty,the recombinant adenovirus vector containing hVEGF165 cDNA was constructed and transfected into vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC)in vitro.The conditioned medium containing VEGF was collected 72 h after the infection.Then,the VSMC and human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC)were divided into control group,H2O2-treated group and H2O2+VEGF-treated group to observe the proliferation and apoptosis by water soluble tetrazolium(WST-1)method,in situ nick end labeling(TUNEL)andflow cytometry(FCM).Compared with the control and H2O2+VEGF-treated groups,the absorbance(A)value of HUVEC was decreased,and apoptosis of HUVEC was significantly increased in H2O2-treated group.The changes of A value and apoptosis of VSMC were contrary to those of HUVEC.H2O2 could stimulate the proliferation of VSMC and induce the apoptosis of HUVEC,inhibit the proliferation of HUVEC and the apoptosis of VSMC and induce restenosis.VEGF could inhibit the effect of H2O2 on HUVEC and VSMC and prevent restenosis.These results offered further theoretical evidence for VEGF on the prevention of restenosis after angioplasty.
