Different generations of Tessaratoma papillosas can be easily distinguished but that of parasitoid wasps would not be done. In fact, it is quite difficult to check which generations the parasitoid wasps should belong to.Thus we could not describe exactly the population of parasitoid wasp Tessaratoma papillosa by only differential or difference equations. A coupled equations consisting of both differential equation and difference equation modeling Tessaratoma papillosa parasitoid wasp interaction is necessary. A difference integral equation model for Tessaratoma papillosa parasitoid wasp system using the Lotka Volterra equation and a recurrence formula for solving the equation are presented in this paper. We modelled the population dynamics with the following coupled equations. Let X i (t) denote the egg number of new generation of Tessaratoma papillosa at time t of the i 'th year in a certain space (0≤ t≤T), i =1, 2,3…. The function X 1 (t) (0≤t≤T )can be obtained by fitting actual data. Using Y 1(t) to figure the amount of parasitoid wasps at time t (0≤t≤T) of the i 'th year ( i =1, 2,…) within the same space. Suppose Y i (0) is the number of parasitoid at time 0 of the i 'th year. According to the Lotka Volterra equation, we have dY\-1(t)dt=Y\-1(t)[-α+βX 1(t)] (0≤t≤T) where both α and β are two positive constants.Since X 1 (t) and Y 1 (0) are known, we have Y 1(t)=Y 1(0)e ∫ t o[-α+βX 1(σ)] d σ ,(0≤t≤T) Let k be the average parasitism rate per parasitoid. We use X 1(t)=X 1(t)-kY 1=X 1(t)-kY 1(o)e ∫ t 0[-α+βX 1(σ)] d σ to denote the amount of pest eggs which are not parasitoid in the first year and suppose they can all grow up and lay eggs, where λ serve as the average ovipositor quantity per adult pest. Thus we have: X 2(t)=λX 1(t)=λ[X 1(t)-kY 1(t)]=λX 1(t)-λkY 1(0)e ∫ t 0[-α+βX 1(σ)] d σ Inductively, we obtain the following model:X n(t)=λ[X n-1 (t)-kY n-1 (t)] Y n(t)=Y 1(o)n-1 i=1e ∫ t 0[-α+βX i(σ)] d σ e ∫ t 0[-α+βX n(σ)] d σ (1)Using the integral difference equations above,we can predicate the number of the pest eggs and parasitoid at time t of each year by means of recurrence. The parameter κ , denoting the average number of porosities eggs per parasitoid, is transformed from mean ovipositor number per parasitoid combined with parasitism rates, and λ , denoting the average fecundity value per pest, which can be determined from laboratory rearing experiment respectively. Parameter α and β are confirmed based on model (1), one can obtain. ln (y n(0)/y n-1 (0))=-αT+β∫ T 0x n-1 (σ) d σ (n=1,2,3,…) where ∫ T 0X n(σ) d σ is the ovipositor amount of the pest during the n 'th year. When the amount of pest ovipositor in the i 'th year and the amount of parasitoid wasps at time 0 in the corresponding year, namely ∫ T 0X i(σ) d σand Y i (0), ( i =1,2,… m ) are known, we can obtain the parameters of α and β by linear regression. Long term dynamic characterization of the system is deduced base on the model. In Model (1), assume t=T . Then it follows: X n(T)=λ[X n-1 (T)-kY n-1 (T)] Y n(T)=Y 1(O)ni=1e ∫ T 0[-α+βX i(σ)] d σ (2)when n →∞, Y n(t) becomes a infinite product. We get the following results by using the infinite product theory: Proposition 1 The prerequisi

    含有古菌序列的直系同源组可以在很大程度上便利各种基于HElMCOP数据的研究,但是目前HElMCOP直系同源组不含有任何古菌序列.为了向HElMCOP直系同源组添加古菌序列,以1个OrTHOMCl-db网站工具的分配方法为依据,我们将29种古菌物种模式菌株的蛋白质组数据,通过blAST比对和OrTHOMCl分析,逐步添加至各个HElMCOP直系同源组中.结果显示,21 326条古菌序列被成功地分配给了1 954个HElMCOP直系同源组中,而其他2 821条古菌序列被归类至nO_grOuP类别.这些分配结果得到了良好blAST匹配数据的支持.一些自由生活物种包括CAEnOrHAbdITIS JAPOnICA、大豆和拟南芥在研究中也受到了关注,因为这些物种相当多的基因在古菌物种内有同源基因.Orthologous groups containing archaeal sequences could facilitate many researches based on HelmCoP data,but unfortunately there were no archaeal sequences in HelmCoP groups.To assign archaeal sequences to HelmCoP groups,we assigned sequences in proteomes of 29 type strains of multiple archaeal species to HelmCoP groups through both BLAST search and OrthoMCL analysis,according to the protocol for assigning sequences by a OrthoMCL-DB web tool.The results showed that 21 326 archaeal sequences were successfully assigned to 1 954 HelmCoP groups,and other2 821 sequences were assigned to NO_GROUP.These assignments gained support from quite good BLAST hits.In addition,some free-living species including Caenorhabditis japonica,soybean,and thale cress were also highlighted in this study,because many genes of these species had homologs in archaeal species.国家自然科学基金(81171595); 福建省自然科学基金(2010J01229

    Comparison of histopathological response and quantitative measurement of giant cell(GC)induced by Meloidogyne javanica in tomato root were studied under potassium-deficient(0.2 mmol/L K+)and replete conditions(control,6.0 mmol/L K+).K+-deficient stress did not impede the formation and maintenance of GC.The mean number of GC per feeding site as well as the mean diameter of GC did not differ between the treatments.However,the thickness of cell wall including components resulted from the accumulated polysaccharide and the length of cell-wall ingrowth increased 5-25 d after inoculation in K+-deficient as compared with K+-replete conditions.An increase of cell-wall ingrowth suggested a kind of compensational response to the potassium stress.Comparison of histopathological response and quantitative measurement of giant cell(GC)induced by Meloidogyne javanica in tomato root were studied under potassium-deficient(0.2 mmol/L K+)and replete conditions(control,6.0 mmol/L K+).K+-deficient stress did not impede the formation and maintenance of GC.The mean number of GC per feeding site as well as the mean diameter of GC did not differ between the treatments.However,the thickness of cell wall including components resulted from the accumulated polysaccharide and the length of cell-wall ingrowth increased 5-25 d after inoculation in K+-deficient as compared with K+-replete conditions.An increase of cell-wall ingrowth suggested a kind of compensational response to the potassium stress.This study was supported by grants from the Science and Technology Commission of Shanghai Municipality (06DZ22110
