重金属铅离子胁迫下玉米叶片光谱弱差信息的DSAT甄别模型

光谱间微弱信息测度是当今高光谱遥感研究难点之一,传统光谱测度方法难以区分光谱信息的微弱差异。研究设计了不同浓度的铅(Pb)污染实验,并测量了不同浓度铅离子(Pb2+)胁迫下玉米叶片的高光谱反射率、叶绿素含量及Pb2+含量,但是从所测结果得出,不同浓度Pb2+胁迫下的光谱相似性相关系数均达到0.999,难以区分不同浓度Pb2+胁迫引发的光谱间微弱信息差异和污染程度。针对这一情况,基于光谱微分处理、正切函数增强、光谱角量度与波谱分段检测等,提出了一种新型的相似光谱测度方法,即微分光谱角正切(derivative spectral angle tangent,DSAT)法。为了验证DSAT在区分相关系数达0.99以上相似光谱的可行性和有效性,将DSAT用于不同浓度Pb2+胁迫玉米叶片的整体波形与光谱区间子波形的信息差异性度量与检测。实验结果得到,波形差异信息与玉米叶片中叶绿素相对浓度与Pb2+含量显著相关。进而也证明DSAT法在甄别较高相似性光谱间差异上具有更好的实用性和优越性。     

基于高光谱成像技术的油菜叶片SPAD值检测

以油菜叶片为研究对象,利用高光谱成像技术,成功建立了叶绿素相对值SPAD值的预测模型。共采集了160个油菜叶片样本在380～1030 nm范围内的高光谱图像。选择500～900 nm之间的平均光谱作为油菜叶片样本的光谱。利用蒙特卡罗最小二乘法(monte carlo partial least squares, MC-PLS)剔除了13个异常样本,基于剩余的147个样本光谱数据与SPAD测量值进行分析,采用了不同的方法建立了多种预测模型,包括：全光谱的偏最小二乘法(partial least squares, PLS)模型,连续投影算法(successive projections algorithm, SPA)选择特征波长的PLS预测模型,“红边”位置(λ_red)的简单经验估测模型,三种植被指数R₇₁₀/R₇₆₀,(R₇₅₀-R₇₀₅)/(R₇₅₀-R₇₀₅)和R₈₆₀/(R₅₅₀*R₇₀₈)分别建立的简单经验估测模型,以及基于这三种植被指数的PLS预测模型。建模结果显示,全光谱的PLS模型预测效果最为精确,其预测相关系数r_p为0.833 9,预测均方根误差RMSEP为1.52。而使用SPA算法选出的8个特征波长所建立的PLS模型其预测结果可达到与全光谱的PLS模型非常接近的水平,而且在保证一定精度的条件下减少了大量运算,节省了运算时间,大幅提高了建模的速度。而基于红边位置和选择的三种植被指数而建立的简单经验估计模型其预测结果虽与基于全光谱的PLS预测模型有一定差距,但模型简单、运算量小,适合用于对精度要求不高的场合,对后续的便携仪器设备开发有一定的指导作用。

Bioactive Betalain Extracts from Cactus Pear Fruit Pulp,Beetroot Tubers,and Amaranth Leaves

Natural food items and the additional benefits they provide have received considerable attention in recent years. Betalains are nutritious pigments which have valuable biological properties, e.g., antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity. In this study, aqueous betalain extracts were obtained from different coloured cactus pears (purple, red/pink, and orange), amaranth, and beetroot, with and without the addition of ascorbic acid, microwave-heated, and freeze-dried and subsequently analysed by thin layer chromatography (TLC). Beetroot samples without the addition of ascorbic acid (AA) had lower phenols, flavonoids, and ascorbic acid content than beetroot samples extracted with the addition of AA. Amaranth had significantly higher contents of antioxidants than all the other plants. Results for phenolic compounds showed that there were no significant differences between cactus pear cultivars, however, significant differences were seen between the two beetroot samples (microwave-heated with and without AA) as well as amaranth. For flavonoid compounds, amaranth had significantly higher values than all other samples. The lowest flavonoid content was found in beetroot without AA (0.49 mgCE/g). For ascorbic acid, significant differences were noticed between amaranth (71.71 mg/100 g) and samples from cactus pear and beetroot. TLC results showed that purple and red cactus pear samples had the most vivid colours, a reflection of the high betacyanin and betaxanthin contents in the cultivars. Moreover, extracts from cactus pear, beetroot, and amaranth were classified according to a decision tree which was designed by the Code of Federal Regulations/Food Additives Regulation of the EU. The classification of betalain pigment extracts as colouring foods was achieved through enrichment factor calculations and the colourant decision tree. The results showed that the betalain pigment extraction method used is inexpensive, time-saving, energy-saving, non-toxic, and chemical solvent free and yields high concentrations of betalains.     

Polyphenol Rich Ajuga bracteosa Transgenic Regenerants Display Better Pharmacological Potential

Ajuga bracteosa Wall. ex Benth. is an endangered medicinal herb traditionally used against different ailments. The present study aimed to create new insight into the fundamental mechanisms of genetic transformation and the biological activities of this plant. We transformed the A. bracteosa plant with rol genes of Agrobacterium rhizogenes and raised the regenerants from the hairy roots. These transgenic regenerants were screened for in vitro antioxidant activities, a range of in vivo assays, elemental analysis, polyphenol content, and different phytochemicals found through HPLC. Among 18 polyphenolic standards, kaempferol was most abundant in all transgenic lines. Furthermore, transgenic line 3 (ABRL3) showed maximum phenolics and flavonoids content among all tested plant extracts. ABRL3 also demonstrated the highest total antioxidant capacity (8.16 ± 1 μg AAE/mg), total reducing power, (6.60 ± 1.17 μg AAE/mg), DPPH activity (IC50 = 59.5 ± 0.8 μg/mL), hydroxyl ion scavenging (IC50 = 122.5 ± 0.90 μg/mL), and iron-chelating power (IC50 = 154.8 ± 2 μg/mL). Moreover, transformed plant extracts produced significant analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anticoagulant, and antidepressant activities in BALB/c mice models. In conclusion, transgenic regenerants of A. bracteosa pose better antioxidant and pharmacological properties under the effect of rol genes as compared to wild-type plants.     

Grubbs Catalysts Immobilized on Merrifield Resin for Metathesis of Leaf Alcohols by using a Convenient Recycling Approach

Three new types of heterogeneous catalysts were prepared using a facile approach by the immobilization of Grubbs catalysts on PEGylated Merrifield resin. One of the immobilized catalysts was more efficient than the free catalyst for the metathesis of leaf alcohols in conversion and selectivity and was reused repeatedly (up to 5 cycles) with only a slight loss of activity (10.5 %). The long-chain PEGylated linker provided an appropriate distance between the resin and the catalytic center so that the ruthenium catalysts acted as the free catalyst.     

高光谱成像的马铃薯叶片含水率分布可视化

为了快速检测马铃薯叶片的水分含量,并探究受到干旱胁迫时叶片含水率变化情况,利用高光谱成像对马铃薯叶片含水率进行检测和可视化研究。采集71个叶片,用烘干法对叶片水分梯度进行控制,共得到355个样本。使用高光谱分选仪器采集叶片862.9~1 704.2 nm(256个波长)的光谱成像数据,采用称重法测量含水率。利用Sample set partitioning based on joint X-Y distance(SPXY)算法将总样本按照2∶1的比例划分为建模集(240个样本)和验证集(115个样本)。对采集的数据进行光谱特征分析,本文分别用CA和RF两种算法,各筛选得到15个特征波长。基于CA筛选出相关系数高于0.96的15个波长分别为1 406.82,1 410.12,1 403.62,1 413.32,1 416.62,1 419.82,1 400.32,1 423.12,1 426.32,1 429.62,1 432.82,1 436.12,1 439.32,1 442.52和1 445.8 nm。基于RF算法筛选被选概率高于0.3的15个特征波长,按照被选择概率值从大到小排列,分别为1 071.62,1 041.12,1 222.52,1 465.22,1 397.02,1 449.02,1 034.32,1 523.22,976.42,1 172.52,979.82,1 165.82,1 037.72,1 426.32和869.8 nm。用CA和RF算法筛选到的特征波长建立PLSR模型,分别记为CA-PLSR模型和RF-PLSR模型。利用高精度模型检测结果,对马铃薯叶片含水率进行可视化分析,首先计算马铃薯叶片图像每个像素点的含水率,得到灰度图像,然后对灰度图像进行伪彩色变换,绘制出叶片含水率可视化彩色图像。为了体现马铃薯叶片烘干处理中含水率变化进程,用HSV彩色模型对样本叶片的伪彩色图像进行分割,获得分割图像结果,显示出在某含水率区间的叶片面积比例。结果显示,CA算法选取的15个波长均在1 400.3~1 450.0 nm范围内,CA-PLSR模型的建模精度(R2_c)为0.975 5、建模集均方根误差(RMSEC)为2.81%,验证集精度(R2_v)为0.933 2、验证集均方根误差(RMSEV)为2.31%。RF算法选取的特征波长分布范围较CA法选取范围广,具有局部“峰谷”特性,且RF-PLSR模型的建模集精度(R2_c)为0.983 2、RMSEC为2.32%,验证集精度(R2_v)为0.947 1、RMSEV为2.15%。选取RF-PLS模型计算马铃薯每个像素点的含水率,得到伪彩色变换图像,观察可知随着烘干时间的增加含水率逐渐下降;并能够从叶片结构角度看到,随着水分胁迫的加强,叶片从边缘开始失水,逐渐向叶片中间蔓延,其中叶茎和叶脉的含水率较其他部位高。计算得到叶片伪彩色图像中含水率大于90%,80%和70%的像素点占整个叶片图像的比例。利用高光谱成像技术可以实现马铃薯叶片的含水率检测与分布可视化表达,为监测马铃薯生长状况以及叶片含水率分析提供新的理论根据。

为实现小麦条锈病和叶锈病的早期诊断,利用近红外光谱技术结合定性偏最小二乘法(DPLS)建立了一种鉴别这两种病害的方法。试验将150片小麦叶片(健康叶片、条锈病潜育叶片、条锈病发病叶片、叶锈病潜育叶片、叶锈病发病叶片各30片)分为5类,扫描获得近红外光谱,建立小麦叶片DPLS近红外光谱鉴别模型。原始光谱数据经二阶导数处理后,在4 000～8 000 cm-1范围内,当利用不同建模比建模时,建模集的平均识别率为96.56％,检验集的平均识别率为91.85％,证明了模型的稳定性。当建模比为2∶1、主成分数为10时,模型识别效果较好,建模集的识别准确率为97.00%,检验集的识别准确率为96.00%。表明应用近红外光谱技术建立的小麦条锈病和叶锈病早期诊断的定性鉴别方法是可行的。
