“黑青”“黑碧”的谱学鉴别特征探究

“黑青”指颜色近黑色,主要成分为透闪石的青玉。“黑碧”指颜色近黑色,主要成分为阳起石的碧玉。采用电子探针、激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱仪和红外光谱测试分析手段,确定“黑青”“黑碧”的矿物种属。采用拉曼光谱、显微紫外-可见分光光度计、红外光谱对“黑青”“黑碧”的谱学鉴别特征进行探究。“黑青”为标准透闪石拉曼谱峰,“黑碧”的谱峰位置与“黑青”存在几个波数的偏差,向波数小的方向移动。可见-近红外波段,“黑青”出现445 nm吸收峰,680和940 nm宽吸收带,为Fe^2+和Fe^3+作用;“黑碧”出现445 nm吸收峰,660和690 nm双吸收峰以及970 nm吸收峰,为Fe^2+,Fe^3+,Cr^3+作用。显微紫外-可见光谱可分析到样品的近红外区,“黑青”在1397,2310,2387和2466 nm出现强吸收峰,1915和2120 nm出现弱吸收峰;“黑碧”在1400,2313和2394 nm出现吸收峰。红外光谱分析“黑青”在5225,4738,4692,5349,4317,4190和4064 cm^-1存在吸收峰;“黑碧”在4708,4307,4178和4031 cm^-1存在吸收峰。显微紫外-可见光谱与红外光谱分析结果虽然存在小的差异,但基本保持一致,以红外光谱分析结果为准。将透闪石质的“黑青”、阳起石质的“黑碧”、广西大化阳起石质玉进行对比,综合红外光谱和显微紫外-可见光谱分析结果得出“黑青”(透闪石)与“黑碧”(阳起石)近红外光谱的鉴别特征:“黑青”(透闪石)在4800~4600 cm-1存在两个吸收峰,4350~4300 cm^-1存在分裂双吸收峰;“黑碧”(阳起石)在4800~4600 cm^-1存在一个弱吸收峰,4350~4300 cm^-1存在一个吸收单峰。且“黑碧”(阳起石)的近红外吸收峰相较于“黑青”(透闪石)整体向低波数方向移动。

Foraging behavior of parasitoid chalcid to the essential oil from bark of Populus pseudo-simonii P. nigra and Quadraspidiotus gigas

采用四臂式嗅觉仪测定了长棒四节蚜小蜂（Pteroptrix longgiclava(Girault)(Hymenoptera:Aphelinidae))和黄胸扑虱蚜小蜂（Encarsia gigas(Tshumakova)(Hymenoptera:Aphelinidae)),对健康的小青×黑杨（Populus pseudo-simonii×P.nigra)树皮、被杨圆蚧（Quadraspidiotus gigas(Thiem & Gerneck)）危害的杨树皮、杨圆蚧1齿固定若虫的虫体和介壳的挥发油的趋性反应。测定结果表明：被杨圆蚧危害后的小青×黑杨树皮和杨圆蚧1龄因定若虫的介壳对长棒四节蚜小蜂和黄胸扑虱蚜小蜂成虫具有较大的吸引力。3－7μL介壳挥发油和5－9μL受害杨树皮挥发油对长棒四节蚜小蜂的寄主搜寻行为具有较强的引导作用。虫体的挥发油对小蜂的寄生定位也起到了一定的引诱作用。两种小蜂对健康树皮的挥发油几乎没有反应。图4表1参20。

Home range,population density,and habitat utilization of the Sichuan Jay (Perisoreus internigrans)

We assessed habitat preference and population status of the Sichuan Jay (Perisoreus internigrans),a poorly known Chinese endemic bird,at two sites (Zhuoni and Jiuzhaigou) in the Qinghai-Tibetan plateau between 2001 and 2004.Mean group size was 3.8 jays.Each group occupied a mean home range of 42.0 ha during the breeding season,and the mean internest distance was 2.7 km.These data indicated that the jays used less than ten percent of the available habitats and occurred at an overall density of only 0.6 jays per km2.Radio-tracked Sichuan Jays had a strong preference for mature montane coniferous forests and avoided areas dominated by shrubs,while the utilization of young conifers,grassland,and human residential habitat types did not differ significantly from the values expected from the home-range availabilities of these habitats generally.

[Conclusion] In this study, the growth status and conditions of Populus shanxiensis were further understood and researched, which had laid theoretical foundation for protecting the endangered species and provided basic information for the future studies of endangered species and related disciplines.

Study on the Control of Tobacco Black Shank by Using Dry Mycelium of Penicillium Chrysogenum

The water extract of dry mycelium ofPenicillium chrysogenum （DME） was used to induce resistance in Virginia tobacco plants against Phtophthora parasitica var. nicotianae. Results showed that the efficacy of DME in controlling black shank disease depended on both DME solution concentration and its＇ treatment methodology. Soil application of 1.5-5% DME 72 hr before inoculation with Phtophthora parasitica vat. nicotianae provided highly significant protection against black shank, relative to the control without DME treatment. Optimized tobacco plant treatment with 2.5% DME significantly increased peroxidase （POD） and polyphenol oxidase （PPO） activity levels in the upper leaf sections of the tobacco plants. DME had no direct antifungal activity on the growth of Phtophthora parasitica var. nicotianae in vitro, suggesting that disease control with DME treatment resulted from the induced propagation of natural defense mechanisms in the tobacco plants.

Use of calcein and alizarin red S for immersion marking of black rockfish Sebastes schlegelii juveniles

Black rockfish Sebastes schlegelii juveniles （30-40 mm total length） were immersed in a range of calcein （CAL） solutions at concentrations ranging from 50 to 250 mg/L and alizarin red S （ARS） solutions at concentrations ranging from 100 to 500 mg/L in filtered seawater （salinity 30） for 24 h. Fluorescent marks were detected in otoliths （sagittae, asteriscus）, scales, fin rays （dorsal, pectoral, ventral, anal, and caudal fin rays）, and fin spines （dorsal, ventral, and anal fin spines） after a 60-d growth experiment. With the exception of 50-100 rng/L CAL, acceptable marks were produced in the otoliths and fin spines by all concentrations of CAL and ARS. In particular, marks were clearly visible under normal light in the sagittae, asteriscus, and fin spines offish immersed in 200 500 mg/L, 300-500 rag/L, and 200-500 mg/LARS, respectively. Scales and fin rays had acceptable marks at much higher concentrations （≥50 mg/L CAL, ≥300 mg/L ARS for scales and ≥50 mg/L CAL,≥200 mg/L ARS for fin rays）. The mark quality was highest （i.e., acceptable marks were observed in all sampled structures after immersion marking） in fish immersed in 150-250 mg/L CAL or 300-500 mg/LARS. In addition, there was no significant difference in survival and growth of marked fish compared with controls 60 d post-marking （P〉0.05）.

Pheomelanin Formation and Low Tyrosinase Activity in Fading Body Color Variant BdlR Strain Oryzias latipes

BdlR strain killifish Oryzias latipes, which can be found in natural populations in Kochi Prefecture, Japan, exhibit a fading body-color. The aim of this article is trace of body fade by enzymatic analysis especially blacking key enzyme tyrosinase. A single scale was collected from a single specimen of this strain at the dorsal axis, and the supernatant fi-action developed from this sample served as a tyrosinase extract. The extract fraction showed low tyrosinase activity when L-tyrosine, L-dopa and L-dopamine were used as enzyme substrates. After addition of L-cysteine to the sample scale, surface color gradually faded as pheomelanin formed. Tyrosinase was believed to have been in the folded phase and especially active arotmd the catalytic site and copper was detected in the scale. In hereafter, molecular analysis can attain above purpose.

Characterization of proanthocyanin-related leucoanthocyanidin reductase and anthocyanidin reductase genes in Lycium ruthenicum Murr.

Proanthocyanidins （PAs） are a set of important phytochemical compounds in Lycium ruthenicum Murr. However, PAbiosynthesis in L. ruthenicum remains unclear. In this study, leucoanthocyanidin reductase （LAR） and anthocyanidin reductases（ANR） involved in PA biosynthesis were retrieved from L. ruthenicum EST database. Polymerase chain reaction （PCR） resultsconfirmed that LrLAR and LrANR encoded a protein composed of 333 and 338 amino acids, respectively. Phylogenetic analysisshowed that LrLAR and LrANR were clustered with known LAR and ANR proteins of other plants, respectively. Quantitativereverse-transcription PCR （qRT-PCR） results indicated that both genes expressed in a sharp increase manner from unripe stage tocolor break stage and were down-regulated increasingly hereafter, and that both expression levels are extremely low in youngleaves, mature leaves, stems, and roots compared with fruits. Phytochemical assay revealed that the content of total PA in fruitwas higher than that in young leaves, mature leaves, stems, and roots, and that the total PA level was increased sharply andthen relatively stable hereafter during fruit ripening. Our results lay a foundation for uncovering the PA biosynthesis and furtherengineering manipulation in L. ruthenicum.
