  Effect of Sulfur on the Content of Kernal Isoflavone in Different Soybean Varieties 2013, 3 (1):  10-14.  Abstract + ( 1273 )   PDF ( 1057KB )   ( 1333 ) In this study, the effect of Sulfur (S) on the content of kernal isoflavone in different soybean varieties was analyzed. The best Sulfur levels of different genotype soybean varieties were explored, in order to increase the content of kernal isoflavone and improve their qualities. Three soybean varieties (‘Heinong-48’, high-protein cultivar; ‘Heinong-37’, middle cultivar; and ‘Heinong-44’, high-oil cultivar) were investigated. The soybean seeds were planted in pots fertilized with S which were S1, S2, S3 and S4 (i.e., 0 g, 0.02 g, 0.04 g and 0.06 g of Sulfur) per kilogram of soil. The content of total kernal isoflavone in different soybean varieties was determined by ultraviolet spectrophotometry. The results showed that, the content of total isoflavone under the same variety of different treatment, HN37 and HN44 treatment was significantly higher than that of S2, HN48 in S3 processing under the highest content. The three varieties are suitable S is known to help improving the total isoflavone content; same deal with the different varieties of soybean total isoflavones content, under the S1-S4 treatment HN44 was significantly highest, and then HN37 and HN48. Under different treatments in different soybean varieties, the content of total isoflavone in HN44 S3 was the highest. These findings suggested that Sulfur affected the total content of isoflavone in the three soybean varieties, and appropriate amounts of S fertilization might contribute to improving the content of kernal isoflavone.

  Effects of Abrupt Decline in Salinity on the Antioxidant Enzyme Activities andHistological Structure in Ruditapes philippenarum 2013, 3 (1):  50-56.  Abstract + ( 1269 )   PDF ( 3161KB )   ( 1179 ) In order to detect physiological mechanism and the changes of histological structure with the abrupt decline in salinity in Manila clam, Ruditapes philippenarum, effects of abrupt decreasing in salinity on the activity of three antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GSH-PX, CAT) in hemolymph of R. philippenarum were studied. The clams were reared in different salinity of 35 (the control group), 25 and 15 and sampled at 2, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 h. In both low-salinity groups, the activity of the SOD and GSH-PX was higher than that in control group (P<0.05) at the beginning, then decreased significantly and tended to be stable at the end of experiment. In group of salinity 25 and 15, the activity of SOD increased significantly and lasted for 48 h and 12 h before the decrement (P<0.05). The time of increasing and decreasing of activity of GSH-PX were roughly the same in group of salinity 25 and 15. The activity of CAT was decreased gently with a slight increase 6 h (P<0.05). The activities of the three antioxidant enzymes were returned to the levels of controls, which showed that the clams had high resistance against changes of salinity, and could regulate the activity of the antioxidant enzymes to adapt to the low salinity. Tissue sections, which sampled from clams suffered 6 days low salinity stress of 15, showed that the fill filament connections and the arrangement were damaged, epithelial folds were disappeared. The heights of acinic cells in hepatopancreas reduced, the cytoplasm was not rich and the acinar lumens were enlarged. The epithelial folds were reduced and the mucous cells were rich in mantle and meaty siphon during low-salinity rearing. These results would be an important basis of the studies on physiological ecology during changes of salinity in clams.
