A SVET investigation on the modification of zinc dust reactivity

Weldable primers are thin zinc-rich organic coatings that are weldable due to the electrical conductivity provided by the zinc dust. They are used in the automotive industry to provide corrosion protection in regions of difficult access. The zinc particles are highly susceptible to corrosion attack and, due to the small thickness, the protection conferred by these systems is limited.     

甘蓝型油菜SSR核心引物研究

为了确定一组适用于品种纯度鉴定和遗传多样性分析的SSR核心引物,以100份具有代表性的甘蓝型油菜品种（系）为研究材料对746对SSR引物进行筛选,综合考虑PIC（平均多态信息量）值大小、引物重复性、扩增带型清晰度、连锁群分布等因素,确定44对引物为甘蓝型油菜核心引物,其中20对引物为首选核心引物,24对引物为备选核心引物。20对首选核心引物每对可检测到3~9个多态性位点,PIC值介于0.56~0.80,共检测到102个位点,分布于11个连锁群上。随机抽取1对核心引物对一个杂交组合大田制种F1纯度进行鉴定,其鉴定结果与田间自然鉴定结果一致,并可同时鉴别出来源于父本及外来的混杂单株。将44对核心引物应用于品种的系谱分析和100份品种遗传多样性聚类分析,同样得到了很好的验证结果。该套SSR核心引物适用于甘蓝型油菜品种鉴定及遗传多样性研究。     

Corrosion resistance of new epoxy–siloxane hybrid coatings. A laboratory study

Traditional multilayer epoxy/polyurethane type anticorrosive paint systems are widely employed in the protection of steel structures due to their high efficiency against atmospheric corrosion. However, the use of isocyanate in the curing process, and the high volatile organic compound (VOC) content of such systems, makes it necessary to search for new isocyanate-free paints.     

Assessment of trichothecene chemotypes of Fusarium culmorum occurring in Europe

Fusarium trichothecenes are a group of fungal toxic metabolites whose synthesis requires the action of gene products from three different genetic loci. We evaluated, both chemically and by PCR assays, 55 isolates of Fusarium culmorum from eight European countries and different host plants for their ability to produce trichothecenes. Specific sequences in the Tri6-Tri5 intergenic region were associated with deoxynivalenol production. Sequences in the Tri3 gene were also associated with deoxynivalenol production and specific primer sets were selected from these sequences to identify 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol or 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol chemotypes. Specific sequences in the Tri5 and Tri7 genes were associated with the nivalenol chemotype but not with the deoxynivalenol chemotype. Two chemotypes were identified by chemical analysis and confirmed by PCR. Strains of the nivalenol chemotype produced nivalenol (up to 260 µg g^-1) and 4-acetyl-nivalenol (up to 60 µg g^-1), strains with the 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol chemotype produced deoxynivalenol (up to 1700 µg g^-1) and 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol (up to 600 µg g^-1). Three strains of F. culmorum from France, previously reported as 15-acetyl-deoxynivalenol producers, had the 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol chemotype. The results are consistent with data from other European countries on the occurrence of the nivalenol and 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol chemotypes and provide support for the hypothesis that European isolates of F. culmorum producing deoxynivalenol belong only to the 3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol chemotype. The production of trichothecenes from F. culmorum isolates from walnut (3-acetyl-deoxynivalenol chemotype) and leek (nivalenol chemotype) is reported for the first time.     

Selection of Universal Primers for PCR Quantification of Total Bacteria Associated With Fish Fillets

An optimal universal primer pair DG74/RW01 for quantitative PCR detection of the mixed bacterial flora from fish fillets was selected from five pairs of primers. The minimum detection limits with GelStar™ and ethidium bromide (EB) used as agarose stains for DNA bands with these primers were found to be 5 and 1 × 10² CFU/PCR, respectively. The liner range of DNA amplification was from 50 to 1 × 10⁵ with GelStar™ and from 5 × 10² to 1 × 10⁵ with EB.

通用引物多重PCR新技术对番木瓜转基因成分检测的研究

为了满足能够同时对多个靶标进行检测,克服传统多重PCR的引物间排斥、重现性差等缺点的要求,建立通用引物多重PCR新方法对番木瓜中转基因成分进行高效、快速的检测。选用三种转基因番木瓜(Event 55-1、"GM-YK"和"华农一号")和非转基因番木瓜("台农2号")的新鲜叶片为研究对象,根据三种转基因番木瓜的外源基因和内标木瓜蛋白酶基因(papain)序列,设计五种特异性引物。通过比较不加入接头的特异性引物的PCR验证结果,发现复合引物(带通用接头的引物)无论在单重PCR或者多重PCR的检测中的电泳条带均更为明亮清晰。而由灵敏度的对比,可以得出通用引物多重PCR灵敏度比普通引物的灵敏度提高了1个数量级。通用引物多重PCR新技术较普通多重PCR方法检测番木瓜中转基因成分拥有更低的检测限和灵敏度,为转基因成分的快速检测提供一种新技术。     

Anticorrosive effectiveness of coatings with reduced content of Zn pigments in comparison with zinc-rich primers

ABSTRACT

Typically, an anticorrosive coating system for long-term protection consists of a primer, one or several intermediate coats, and a topcoat. In such systems, zinc-rich primers are often used as they ensure good adhesion to the substrate and protect it from corrosion. Such coatings are very highly pigmented, which sometimes leads to losses in cohesive strength and deterioration of mechanical properties. Furthermore, Zn is known to be harmful to the environment. In this work we present Zn primers with reduced Zn content and better protective properties than traditional zinc-rich primers. The formulations of different Zn pigments in the epoxy matrix were developed with the concentration of zinc particles reduced to about 50% in the dry coating. To evaluate the distribution of pigments scanning electron microscopy has been employed. The anticorrosive properties were tested using the salt spray test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The mechanical properties of the coatings were also tested.
