[SSR analysis on stress effect of transgenic hybrid poplar 741 on Clostera anachoreta (Fabricius) (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae)].

The genetic differentiation of the experimental population of Clostera anachoreta fed on different resistant transgenic 741 poplar leaves was analyzed by SSR molecular marker technique to investigate stress effect of transgenic poplar Bt gene as food on target insect. The experimental population of C. anachoreta fed on transgenic 741 poplar high resistant strains 'Pb29', medium resis-tant strains 'Pb17' and non-transgenic poplar (CK), and the screened ten pairs of SSR primers were used.

Simultaneous Determination of Salicylic Acid, Jasmonic Acid, Methyl Salicylate, and Methyl Jasmonate from Ulmus pumila Leaves by GC-MS.

Salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, methyl salicylate, and methyl jasmonate are important phytohormones and defensive signaling compounds, so it is of great importance to determine their levels rapidly and accurately. The study uses Ulmus pumila leaves infected by Tetraneura akinire Sasaki at different stages as materials; after extraction with 80% methanol and ethyl acetate and purification with primary secondary amine (PSA) and graphitized carbon blacks (GCB), the contents of signal compounds salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, methyl salicylate, and methyl jasmonate were determined by GC-MS. The results showed that the level of salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, methyl salicylate, and methyl jasmonate increased remarkably in U.

[Characteristics of soil seed banks in logging gaps of forests at different succession stages in Changbai Mountains].

An investigation was made on the soil seed banks in the logging gaps of Populus davidiana--Betula platyphylla secondary forest, secondary broad-leaved forest, and broad-leaved Korean pine mixed forest at their different succession stages in Changbai Mountains. Among the test forests, secondary broad-leaved forest had the highest individual density (652 ind x m(-2)) in its soil seed bank. With the succession of forest community, the diversity and uniformity of soil seed bank increased, but the dominance decreased.

[Arthropod communities in jujube-grain intercropping system: composition and time series dynamics].

In order to reveal the correlations between the arthropod communities in two sub-systems (jujube yard and grain field) of jujube-grain intercropping system, an investigation was conducted on the composition and time series dynamics of the communities in the two sub-systems. A total of 14 936 arthropod individuals belonging to 14 orders and 96 families were found, among which, 5992 individuals of 14 orders and 82 families were in jujube yard and 8971 of 14 orders and 80 families were in grain field, and some differences were observed in the arthropod community structure between the two sub-systems. The time series dynamics of the arthropod communities could be divided into four periods, according to the optimal cut-apart of time series, i.
