    2011, 23(4):  0-654. 
    Abstract ( 1494 )   PDF (1114KB) ( 1990 )  
    In order to study the quality and traits of amino acid in maize inbred lines, and to screen out the inbred line with high levels of free amino acids to provide high-quality germplasm resources for maize breeding and quality improvement, sixteen kinds of free amino acids extracted form high-lysine corn Opaque-2 and thirteen commonly used inbred lines were detected using HPLC method. The result showed that fifteen kinds of amino acids were detected in Opaque-2, and the content of all free amino acids accounted up to 3.42 percent of total dry matter, while that of lysine was up to 0.28 percent. The content of free amino acids and essential amino acids were very low in the thirteen commonly used inbred lines with the exception of only one line, while the content of lysine was only 0-34 percent of the content of lysine in Opaque-2. In summary, it showed that the genes of essential amino acids in their parents inbred lines of commonly used maize varieties with excellent nutritional quality were scarce.

    2011, 23(4):  0-650. 
    Abstract ( 1713 )   PDF (1520KB) ( 1682 )  
    Green fluorescent protein(Gfp) and beta-glucuronidase(Gus) are two widely used reporter genes, which have advantages and disadvantages for qualitative analysis and quantitative determination of gene expression and promoter activity in molecular studies. A vector carrying an enhanced Gfp/Gus (eGfp/Gus) dual reporter gene was constructed to establish an efficient and convenient screening system for gene and promoter studies in plants. Primers with specific restriction endonuclease sites were designed according to sequences of the reporter genes. The eGfp and Gus genes were amplified respectively by PCR method. With corresponding endonucleases, the genes and the primary vector pFGC5941 were digested, and then these three fragments were ligated in one reaction to make a final vector. The vector, designated pFGC-DR, is characterized with a strong constitutive promoter CamV35S driving the eGfp/Gus fusion gene. Transient expression in tobacco leaves and transgenic expression studies in Arabidopsis showed that this fusion reporter protein retains functional activity for both eGfp and Gus. These results demonstrated the utility of the eGfp/Gus dual reporter system for studying of plant promoters.

    HU Xiao-li;DONG De-kun;YANG Hai-ying;YANG Qing-hua;ZHU Dan-hua;*
    2011, 23(4):  0-666. 
    Abstract ( 1146 )   PDF (1384KB) ( 1347 )  
    Transcription factor gene GmWRKY21 was introduced into two soybean varieties ‘Zhechun No.5’ and ‘Zhonghuang 13’ via Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system. Embryonic tips jointed with one piece of cotyledon severed as explants in this study. Transformation events were confirmed using target gene-specific and construct-specific PCR analysis. Transgenic plants showed significantly lower electric conductivity than their non-transgenic controls before and after chilling treatment. Better low temperature tolerability of transgenic plants was confirmed after recovered for days: the transgenic plants grew normally, while their controls died in 7 to 10 days after chilling treatment. These results indicated that GmWRKY21 gene had been introduced into soybean genome and it's likely that this gene participated in response to low temperature stress, and finally led to an improved cold tolerance in soybean.

    WANG Yi-heng;CUI Jun-ming;YUAN Bo;SHI Xiang-dong;*
    2011, 23(4):  0-684. 
    Abstract ( 745 )   PDF (1096KB) ( 1207 )  
    The content of dry matter and mineral nutrients of cigar wrapper tobaccos was analyzed in different growth periods in 2009. The results showed that all organs grew slowly and the content of mineral nutrients was low in 30 d after transplanting in Tongxiang, Zhejiang Province. After 30 d, all organs grew faster and the accumulation speed of dry matter and mineral nutrients were fastest in this period, which was very important period for the yield and quality of the cigar wrapper tobacco. After 50 d, every organ grew obviously slowly and the content of mineral nutrients also reduced, but the plant always took the leaf as distributive center. Therefore, in the earlier stage of the cigar wrapper tobacco, basal fertilizers should be applied with large amount and additional fertilizers should be applied earlier to meet the need of plant growth. In the later stage, the absorptive capacity of every organ to the mineral nutrition reduced, and the total amount also became lower, when the additional fertilizers should be applied to raise the quality of tobacco leaves.

    Abstract ( 1194 )   PDF (1122KB) ( 1307 )  
    To explore the suitable activation methods for in vitro parthenogenetic development of matured bovine oocytes and increase the efficiency of nuclear transfer for embryonic parthenogenesis, we have studied the effects of activation by ethanol (EH), ionomycin (Ion), A23187, 6-dimethyl-aminopurine (6\|DMAP: 2 mmol·L-1) or cytochalasin B (CCB) on the development of bovine oocytes. Meanwhile, we have analyzed the effects of different numbers of cumulus cell layers on parthenogenetic development of bovine oocytes in the same condition. The results showed that (1) Ion(5 μmol·L-1), A23187(10 μmol·L-1) or ethanol(7%) applied together with 6-DMAP(2 mmol·L-1) and cytochalasin B (CCB) significantly activated the growth of bovine parthenogenetic embryo, with treatment of Ion+6-DMAP+CCB showing the strongest effects as compared to other groups(P<0. 01). Thus, CCB is beneficial to the development of bovine parthenogenetic embryos.(2) The number of cumulus cell layers coating oocytes had significant effects on parthenogenesis development after parthenogenetic activation. The rate of cleavage and blastocysts for bovine cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) containing 3-5 or above 6 cumulus cell layers were 69.09%, 31.58% and 75.14%, 38.85%, respectively. These two groups had no significant difference(P>0. 05), but were significantly higher than the group containing 1-2 lays and the mixed group(P<0.05). Therefore, cells of these two groups were the optimal research material for experiment of parthenogenetic activation of in vitro embryo development in bovine.

    Abstract ( 736 )   PDF (1420KB) ( 1467 )  
    Photosynthetic characteristics of Saururus chinensis and Houttuynia cordata, two Chinese traditional medicines of Saururaceae, were studied to determine their favorable cultivation conditions. Photosynthetic activity of them were assessed via measuring light response curves, CO2 response curves, diurnal changes of photosynthesis, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters and chlorophyll (Chl) content. The results showed that S. chinensis and H. cordata were both shade-tolerant species, their light compensation points (LCP) were 2.93 and 1.63 μmol·m-2·s-1 respectively. Compared with H.cordata, S. chinensis had higher LCP and light saturation point (LSP) and lower CO2 compensation point (CCP) and CO2 saturation point (CSP). Diurnal variation of net photosynthetic rate (Pn), transpiration rate (E) and stomatal conductance (Gs) of these two species presented two\|peak curves. S. chinensis also showed higher chlorophyll content and higher values of chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in high light intensity than H. cordata. Compared with H. cordata, S. chinensis was obviously higher in photosynthetic capacity, and showed a well acclimation in habitat of high light intensity. Therefore, its necessary to choose a much shadier habitat for H. cordata when planted.

    The vertical distribution law of Bemisia tabaci B-biotype adults on Euphorbia pulcherrima under temperatures of 18℃, 25℃ and 32℃ was studied in laboratory. The results showed that B. tabaci adults mainly clustered on the leaf back of E. pulcherrima, and the numbers of B. tabaci adult on the different leaf layers were significantly different, with the sequence of lower leaves>middle leaves>upper leaves. Furthermore, there was significant correlation between E. pulcherrima leaf-position and B. tabaci adult numbers, and B. tabaci adults mainly clustered between top third leaf and top twelfth leaf. With the increasing of temperature, the occurrence quantity of B. tabaci adult moved to under-part leaves gradually. Under the background of global warming, the results could provide reference basis for the monitor and control of B. tabaci on flowers.

    Abstract ( 1134 )   PDF (1749KB) ( 1246 )  
    234 T-DNA insertion mutants of Botrytis cinerea were screened by using Calcofluor White, and three sensitive mutants(B-117, B-169, D-9)and one resistant mutant(B-62)were obtained. In the test with isotonic PDA plates containing 1.2 mol·L-1 sorbitol, the growth of D-9 was not affected or rescued, while the growth of wild type was suppressed. Also, the growth of wild type was suppressed by 0.6 mol·L-1 NaCl but D-9 was not affected. No obvious difference was found between wild type and D-9 in the SDS medium. The spores of D-9 appeared swollen, its hyphae were thicker, and the length increased without bending,which was obviously different from that of wild type in the spore germination assay. In the experiment of tomato infection, the virulence of D-9 mutant was significantly reduced, almost no infection phenomenon can be observed in the period of six days. These results indicated that D-9 mutant was probably related to cell wall defect and pathogenicity.

    The relationship between lab acute toxicity and field toxicity of herbicide cyhalofop-butyl on Rana limnocharis tadpole have been studied. The difference between lab toxicity and field toxicity was explained by monitoring the degradation dynamics of cyhalofop\|butyl in field. The acute toxicity test showed that the 24 h-LC50 and 48 h-LC50 of cyhalofop-butyl on Rana limnocharis were 0.718 and 0.677 mg·L-1, respectively, and the toxicity level could be categorized as high toxic. The simulative field trail showed that the death rate of Rana limnocharis tadpole is 86.7% with the dose 1 500 g·hm-2 of cyhalofop-butyl 100EC. The cyhalofop-butyl degraded rapidly in field water .With the dose 1 500 g·hm-2,the water concentration of cyhalofop-butyl was 0.112 mg·L-1, much lower than the concentration of 42.9 mg·L-1 in theory two hours after administration. The results showed that cyhalofop-butyl had low risk to Rana limnocharis though it showed high acute toxicity to Rana limnocharis in lab.

    2011, 23(4):  0-786. 
    Abstract ( 734 )   PDF (1126KB) ( 1258 )  
    Four genotypes of southern type Medicago sativa were used as experimental materials to investigate their NaCl tolerance by determing callus growth, germination rate, seedling height and radicle length under tissue culture condition. The results showed that NaCl tolerance was different among different genotypes of southern type Medicago sativa. The callus growth and germination rate were rarely affected under NaCl stress while radicle length was greatly affected under NaCl stress. When NaCl concentration was 120 mmol·L-1, the seedling growth of southern type of Medicago sativa was obviously affected. ‘Millennium’ and ‘Vitoria’ showed higher NaCl tolerance, but the NaCl tolerance of ‘Powerplant’ was the weakest. Difference in NaCl tolerance among different genotypes should be noticed when transferred southern type Medicago sativa plants were selected.

    Abstract ( 1072 )   PDF (1143KB) ( 1212 )  
    In order to study the effects of solar UV radiation (280-400 nm) on microalgae, the effective quantum yield of Chaetoceros debilis and Pavlova viridis,were examined under full spectrum solar radiation and that screened off UVR. It was found that solar UVR suppressed the effective quantum yield in both species, and the inhibited effective quantum yield recovered under UVR-free dim light. The UVR-induced damage and the following repair rate were similar for both of microalga. However, the recovery of effective quantum yield for C. debilis was faster than that for P. viridis, indicating a significant difference between the species in photochemical responses to solar UVR.

    Abstract ( 784 )   PDF (1111KB) ( 1291 )  
    A pot experiment was conducted to study the effects of different zinc treatments on growth, yield, and nutrient uptake and enrichment characteristics of zinc in above-ground organs of rapeseed (B. napus cv. ‘Qinyou 9’). Comparing with the control, low zinc level in soil stimulated the rape growth to some extent, but had less effect on the plant biomass, photosynthetic rate yield and main mineral element contents. With the further increase of zinc level in soil, the plant biomass, photosynthetic rate, yield, main mineral element contents, height and main inflorescence length decreased gradually, while number of first branch was less affected. There were significant differences in the enrichment characteristics of zinc in above-ground organs of rapeseed, following an order of stem>seeds.

    2011, 23(4):  0-806. 
    Abstract ( 761 )   PDF (1207KB) ( 1385 )  
    The results of environmental monitoring and evaluation of soil, irrigation water and air in the pear production bases of Daweishan Town and Zhonghe Town in Liuyang City, Hunan Province showed that the 7 indexes of soil quality, 9 indexes of irrigation water quality, 4 indexes of air quality, and 27 indexes of fruit quality reached the standards set by the government regulation policy for production of “green pear”. The environmental conditions of the production bases completely fulfill the requirements for production of green fruit pears. However, cadmium, arsenic and volatile phenol may become the main pollutants in soil, irrigating water, and air in the pear production bases in the following years. Based on the current situation of the pear production bases, we propose to decrease cadmium and arsenic in the soils as well as suspending particles in the air by planting grasses, increasing vegetative coverage, and forbidding the use of arsenic preparation.

    Abstract ( 1040 )   PDF (1848KB) ( 1605 )  
    On the basis of county GDP data of 7 time sections, dynamic characteristics of spatial evolution of county economy in Zhejiang in recent three decades were systematically analyzed by measuring some indexes and the GDP gravity centers with the aid of GIS technology.
    The results showed that the differences in Zhejiangs county economy have experienced a process that enlarged at first and then narrowed in recent three decades, and at present the differences which mainly from north and south are comparatively large; The uneven development characterized by the fast growth of three blocks (i.e. the areas along the expressways of Hangzhou-Jinhua and Jinhua-Lishui, Hangzhou Bay Rim and the coastal areas of Wenzhou and Taizhou) has enlarged the county economy differences of the province, and now three areas including northem Zhejiang area headed by Hangzhou and Ningbo, Jinhua area headed by Yiwu, Wenzhou and Taizhou coastal areas have become advantage areas in county economy development in Zhejiang. In view of the variation of influencing factors of county economic pattern, some suggestions for promoting the striding development of less developed counties and overall coordination of county economy in Zhejiang were proposed.

    Abstract ( 730 )   PDF (1293KB) ( 1471 )  
    Plant roots is the vital organs which can obtain nutrients and water from the soil and support the plants body, as complexity morphology and soil opaque properties of root hinders the observation of root system, and the lack of roots observation method in situ has become the technological bottlenecks for in-depth study of roots. This paper reviewed from the two aspects of root observations and recognition algorithms. On the root observations techniques, minirhizotron method (non-destructive two-dimensional root observation) and X-ray computed tomography (XCT), three-dimensional root system architecture observation methods in situ were reviewed, and their advantages and disadvantages were showed. On the root recognition algorithms, 2D root morphologic and 3D architecture recognition algorithms was analyzed, the applicability and limitation were pointed out. Finally, on the basis of in-depth analysis for the two observation and recognition technologies, it can concluded that the root observation techniques in situ with XCT in the natural soil media is the future development trends of root three-dimensional architectures quantification analysis.
