简介:本刊讯:记者从全国饲料工业协会获悉,国家标准化管理委员会最近批准了全国饲料工业标准化技术委员会申报的GB3078-2001《饲料卫生标准》的第一号修改通知单,该通知单将于2004年4月1日起实施。国家批准GB3078-2001《饲料卫生标准》已经实施2年,但有关添加有机砷制剂产品中砷的允许量指标以及浓饲料和添加剂混合饲料中按添加的比例计算有害物允许量等问题,一直未得到解决。为此,全国饲料工业标准化技术委员会最近组织在京有关方面的专家,就GB3078-2001《饲料卫生标准》中砷、铅、氟的允许量指标及计算等问题进行了讨论,并提出了修改方案。在征求了全体委员会及有关专家的意见后,形成了GB3078-2001《饲料卫生标准》第一号修改通知单,并报请国家标准化管理委员会审批。近日,国家标准化管理委员会批准了该通知单。《饲料卫生标准》1号修改单下月实施
简介:为明确SOC1基因在叶片中的生理作用,克隆到烟草中SOC1基因的完整开放阅读框,全长806bp。农杆菌介导转化烟草后,获得26棵转基因植株,其中23棵鉴定为阳性植株,转化率为88.46%。与野生型烟草K326相比,获得的SOC1过表达烟株开花提前,株高增加,叶片宽大。半定量RT-PCR结果显示,SOC1过表达不影响叶片中Rubisco大亚基、蔗糖磷酸合成酶和蔗糖合成酶基因的表达水平,但提高了抗坏血酸氧化酶的表达水平;提高了碳酸酐酶活性、蔗糖含量和还原性抗坏血酸含量,并降低了抗坏血酸过氧化物酶活性。表明SOC1可能通过影响氧化还原状态而提高碳酸酐酶活性和光合速率。
