[ Methods ] Water extract was prepared with fresh perennial E. fischer/ana Steud. , which was applied in silkworm with different methods including daubing the extract on silkworm back, soaking silkworm in the extract and feeding silkworm with the mulberry leaves daubed by the extract. [ Re- suits] Those silkworms whose backs were daubed with the water extract had no obvious poisoning symptom. The silkworms soaked for 1 and 3 min could be survived for about 7 d; the silkworms soaked for 5 min could be survived for about 2 d; and the silkworms soaked for 15 rain could be survived for 10 h at most. Those silk- worms fed with mulberry leaves daubed by water extract completely died after 2 d. [ Conduslons ] The water extract of E. fischer/ana Steud. had significant contact toxicity and stomach poisoning against silkworm.展开更多

In the present studies, 25 cows and 25 local bos calves were investigated. The powder of Veratrum nigrum L. and Euphorbia fischeriana steud. was medicated to the animals during the 15 - 19th day of gestation. It was found that there were different poisoning reactions. When the poisoning was on the 15 - 16th day of gestation, the pregnant animals were easy to miscarriage. When the poisoning was on the 17 - 18th day of gestation, the embryos were easy to become teratism. The joint malformation bicephalus and rachischisis could take place for calves. If the poisoning was after 19th day of gestation , there were much more death embryos. The results of the studies showed that Veratrum and Euphorbia fischeriana steud. were the most poisonous plants to the animal industry of Sanjiang area. Some preventive measures were proposed.展开更多

In comparison with those seed plants with the same life history and breeding systems, as well as the other species in the genus Oryza, the species shows rather low levels of genetic diversity (A = 1.1, P = 8.0%, Ho = 0.004 and He = 0. 015) within populations and high genetic differentiation among populations. FST was up to 0. 649, suggesting that 64. 9% of total genetic variability exists among populations. Considering high genetic differentiation among populations from a limited geographic region, most of the populations of the species are worth being protected, and therefore, great natural protection regions should theoretically be established in which a great deal of populations should be involved for developing in situ conservation management. Meanwhile, some priory localities for in situ conservation of O. meyeriana in Yunnan Province, were proposed.展开更多
