Subsequently, 10w energy Ar＋ ions with different energies and fluences were used to bombard silkworm eggs so as to explore the resulting biological effects. Results showed that （i） the exposure of silkworm eggs to vacuum within 10 rain did not cause significant impact on the hatching rates, while the irradiation of silkworm eggs by Ar＋ ions of 25 keV or 30 keV with fiuences ranging from 2.6×2.6× 10^15 ion/cm2 to 8×2.6 × 10^15 ion/cm2 caused a significant impact on the hatching rates, and the hatching rates decreased with the increase in the fluence and energy level; （ii） the irradiation of silkworm eggs by Ar＋ ions of 30 keV with a fluence of 8×2.6 × 10^15 ion/cm2 or 9×2.6 × 10^15 ion/cm2 resulted in a noticeable etching on the egg shell surface which could be observed by a scanning electron microscope; and （iii） the irradiation of silkworm eggs by Ar＋ ions of generated several mutant phenotypes which were 30 keV with a fiuence of 9×2.6× 10^15 ion/cm2 observed in the 5th instar silkworms and a moth.展开更多

文摘波纹唇鱼(Cheilinus undulatus)是世界著名的濒危礁栖鱼类,具有特殊的生物学特性和较高的经济价值。本研究对波纹唇鱼的胚胎发育及初孵仔鱼的形态进行了观察,将其全过程划分为胚盘形成、卵裂、囊胚、原肠?神经胚、器官发生和孵化6个阶段,共26个发育时期。波纹唇鱼的受精卵为无色透明的浮性卵,圆球形,卵径为(635.6±50.0)μm,具油球1个,其卵径显著小于多数海水鱼类。在水温27.7–29.0℃、盐度30的条件下,受精卵历时15 h 30 min孵出仔鱼。初孵仔鱼全长为(1305.5±50.0)μm,卵黄囊前部长于仔鱼头部,且油球位于卵黄囊的最前端。结果显示,波纹唇鱼卵子较小,胚胎发育较快,其较快的胚胎发育与较小的初孵仔鱼可能是导致胚后发育阶段死亡率较高的重要原因。
