    Abstract ( 374 )   PDF (506KB) ( 1179 )  
    The safe date for full heading is important for arranging seeding and planting of late rice. By analyzing daily average temperature during September and November in the past 45 years of three representative districts from north to south of Jinhua city (Dongyang, Wucheng and Wuyi) combining MannKendall jump detection and sliding ttest method, the changing year of safe date for full heading was determined to be 1999 for indica and 1991 for japonica. Basd on the indexes commonly used in production, the safe dates for full heading before and after changing year (1999 for indica and 1991 for japonica) with assurance rate of 50%, 80% and 90% were compared respectively. The average safe heading date of indica after 1999 was found to be universally delayed for 5 to 6 days, and that of japonica after 1991 was found to be universally delayed for 6 to 10 days. Thus, present study proposed another set of safe dates, which were September 14, September 16 and September 14 for indica in Dongyang, Wucheng and Wuyi respectively, being 4 days later than commonly used in production, and were September 24, September 24 and September 23 for japonica in Dongyang, Wucheng and Wuyi respectively, being 2 or 3 days later than commonly used in production.

    Abstract ( 396 )   PDF (232KB) ( 1350 )  
    The moisture content is very important for both forage and syrup use of sweet sorghum. In the present study, the gene Dd, which is related to moisture content of stem (MCS), was proved as qualitative and the dominance of pithy over juicy type by the genetic analysis, using two F2 populations derived from a pithy cultivar Fangshannian crossing a juicy cultivar Shuangli and a juicy cultivar Btx623 crossing a pithy cultivar 7361. Primary mapping of the gene indicated that d was located on chromosome 6. By enlarging the mapping population, the locus was then fine mapped to a 470 kb interval between SSR markers sm06068 and sm06093 for F21 and sm06068 and sm06069 for F22. To narrow down the number of candidate genes, the target regions of Fangshannian, Shuangli and 7361 were sequenced and 2 InDel markers were mined. Finally, the locus was located to the region between markers sm06068 and Sb62, which harbored only six candidate genes. Genetic mapping of d provided an opportunity to identify genes involved in the moisture content of sorghum.

    Abstract ( 541 )   PDF (493KB) ( 1189 )  
    The grape variety ‘Pione (Vitis labrusca × Vitis labrusca) was used in this experiment under substrate (peat∶compost∶vermiculite=4∶1∶1, V/V) culture, and soil culture was taken as the control. Physical and chemical characters of ‘Pione grape under different substrates and its effects on vine growth, phenology and berry quality of ‘Pione grapes were investigated. The results were shown as follows: There is no difference between substrate and soil culture in phenology, chlorophyll content and berry size. Compared with soil, grape cultivated in substrate has smaller leaf area. Substrate improved the color of berries, though the TSS and firmness of flesh was little lower than in soil. It could be related with the high vibration frequency of water content in substrate and the unstable absorbance of nutrition by roots. Its suggested that the integrated management of fertilization and irrigation should be applied to solve these problems.

    Abstract ( 380 )   PDF (570KB) ( 1149 )  
    In order to explore the influences of preharvest calcium treatments on nutrients contents in fruits and leaves of kiwifruit and the correlation between calcium concentration and each nutrition element content, six different calcium concentrations were designed in this study with spraying or immersing fruits. The results showed that the contents of Ca, Mg and Cu in the leaves of kiwifruit increased significantly after calcium treatments and had a positive correlation with the calcium concentration. The contents of K in leaves decreased as the calcium concentration increased. The Zn and P contents also increased in the leaves after calcium treatment, while it has no significant correlation with calcium concentration as Fe and Mn contents. The contents of Ca, Mg and Zn in fruit increased after calcium treatment, which was positively correlated with calcium concentration. The content of Cu, Fe in fruits increased, but it has no correlation with calcium concentration. It was suggested that spraying calcium can increase Mg content in fruits more effectively. The method of immersing fruits in calcium solution is better for increasing Fe and Mn contents in fruits.

    Abstract ( 354 )   PDF (599KB) ( 1235 )  
    A tea saponin decoloring enzyme (TSDE) was separated from Phanerochaete chrysosporium TS07 by using ammonium sulfate precipitation. The separated TSDE activity was 52 971 U·g-1. The effect of pH value on TSDE activity and stability was examined at pH values ranging from 30 to 100. TSDE was completely stable in a wide pH range (30-75) and presented an optimum pH value of 45. The optimum temperature for TSDE was 40℃ and the enzyme was stable at room temperature. It was also found that TSDE was strongly inhibited by Hg2+, while Fe3+, Ca2+ and Ni2+ did not cause any alteration in the activity. TSDE was also resistant to presence of up to 5% H2O2, but it was inhibited in presence of 10% H2O2. The TSDE showed a high percentage of activity in reaction mixtures containing 10% (V/V) of different organic solvents (acetone, isopropanol, ethanol and acetonitrile). The susceptibility of TSDE to inactivation by H2O2 in absence of substrate was also studied and it was found that the enzyme was very stable in presence of up to 025% H2O2.

    Abstract ( 374 )   PDF (983KB) ( 1371 )  
    To explore the efficiency of the comprehensive application of the integrated control practices based on “green techniques”, the effect of integrated technology on the population dynamics, structure and diversity of pests in various modes were studied, and its practical effect on the production was evaluated by the method of environmental economics, and compared with those under chemical control. The results showed that the pest control efficiency in integrated prevention plot based on “green techniques” was much better than those in the control plot of conventional application, and its effect on the insect community in vegetable was reflected from the species structure, the diversity index and the distributive evenness of species, especially the dominant pest insects and predatory natural enemies. With green techniques applied in vegetable fields, the chemical insecticide application and the index of population trend of dominant pest insects were decreased greatly, the control effect of natural enemies on major insect pests was increased, the diversity index of insect was increased at the same time. The economic, social and environmental benefit per 667 m2 quarterly in ecological (green techniques) control field were added by 29791, 8063 and 10429 yuan, respectively, obviously better than those benefit in ecological control field. Thus, the scientific application of green techniques, through limited use of chemical insecticides, resumed the destroyed environment of vegetable fields and escalated the control ability of natural enemies to main insect pest, would play an important role in the ecological control of insect pests in vegetable fields.

    In this study, double season rice Poyou 364 and Kyou 117 were used as test materials, the effects of different nitrogen application on double season rice yield, economic efficiency and nitrogen using efficiency were studied. The results showed that rice yield increased with the increase of nitrogen application rates in certain nitrogen range, and then decreased. The yield of early rice Poyou 364 was the highest at nitrogen application rate of 184 kg·hm-2, and the yield of late rice Kyou 117 was the highest at nitrogen application rate of 228 kg·hm-2. The equation between economic benefit of rice and N application rate was established based on the output of grain yield and input of fertilizer, as for early rice: y=-0219 7x2+75787x+2 9547, and for late rice: y=-0167x2+7107x+5 2028, According to the equation, the economic benefit of early rice Poyou 364 and late rice Kyou 117 were the highest at nitrogen application rate of 173 kg·hm-2, and 213 kg·hm-2, respectively. N uptake of grain increased, while N agronomic efficiency decreased, and N recovery efficiency showed a parabola curve with the increase of nitrogen application rates in double season rice. According to the principle of highyield, highefficiency and improving nitrogen use efficiency, optimal N application rate was recommended for double season rice.

    Abstract ( 369 )   PDF (604KB) ( 1191 )  
    In order to explore the suitable management approaches for lowcarbon agricultural production in Zhejiang Province, the effects of rice varieties and planting pattern on CH4, N2O and CO2 emission were investigated. It was shown that the cultivation method of wheat and rice significantly influenced greenhouse gas emission during the rice season. Under the management of no tillage, the greenhouse gas emission was the largest, and was significantly higher than the management of rotary tillage. Rice varieties also influenced greenhouse gas emission. The total emissions of CH4, N2O, CO2 and emissions per unit grain yield of hybrid rice varieties were significantly lower than the conventional rice varieties in the tilling stage, jointingbooting stage and filling stage. Besides, soil water potential could impact greenhouse gas emission. Reducing rice irrigation decreased CH4 and CO2 emission in the rice field. But, the excessive lowered irrigation would significantly increase N2O emission yet decrease the grain yield. In conclusion, the greenhouse gas emission in rice field could be significantly reduced by the combined management approaches, including applying hybrid rice variety and rotary tillage, and keeping the soil water potential at -20~-30 kPa.

    Abstract ( 394 )   PDF (636KB) ( 1362 )  
     Past studies regarding agricultural total factor productivity measurement mostly focused on traditional inputs, and rarely took environmental factors into consideration. Therefore, it is unable to reflect the real growth performance of agriculture. Using the MalmquistLuenberger productivity index method, the present paper analysed the growth and decomposition of agricultural total factor productivity in Henan Province from 2000 to 2012 under carbon emissions constraint. It was shown that the agricultural total factor productivity in Henan Province increased consistently under carbon emissions constraint, but the increase rate exhibited great volatility. The increase was mainly driven by the advances of agricultural technologies. The growth of agricultural total factor productivity showed significant differences among 18 cities in Henan Province. In general, it was the highest in the North Henan.

    In order to understand the effect of different clarification technology on physicochemical and sensory quality of blueberry juice, the experiment with enzymatic treatment, adsorption and filtration was conducted. The results indicated that the enzymatic treatment by pectinase (010%) at 45℃ for 1 h could increase the light transmittance, and thus increase L* value, soluble solid and anthocyanin content significantly (P<005). Gelatin, agarose and bentonite were effective to increase the light transmittance, and addition of agarose (200 mg·L-1) had the best clarification effects as clarity achieved 692%. However, the gelatin and bentonite could reduce the anthocyanin content and a* value. Besides, the bentonite would significantly reduce soluble solids content and cause peculiar flavor. After filtration, the transmittance of blueberry juice reached about 80%. But during the ultrafiltration process, it would cause about 115% loss of anthocyanin

    Abstract ( 386 )   PDF (682KB) ( 1355 )  
    An innovative refrigeration system incorporating phase change material (PCM) is proposed to overcome uneven cooling during refrigerated transportation of leafy vegetable. Taking Brassica chinensis L. as an example of leafy vegetable, its temperature change and distribution during cooling and warming process was systematically recorded and analyzed. It was shown that the temperature fluctuation during cooling process was significantly reduced to 2℃(P<001) when PCM was incorporated into the refrigerated container. The difference of temperature between main vein and small veins was also reduced. During the storage process, the temperature fluctuation was reduced up to 258% with PCM incorporation. Besides, the temperature increase during warming process was slowed down with addition of PCM. In summary, application of PCM into refrigerated container could reduce temperature fluctuation during refrigerated transportation and thus benefit the preservation and cold storage of vegetables and fruits.

    Abstract ( 471 )   PDF (1137KB) ( 1195 )  
    Most recently, a GSHindependent glyoxalase pathway was identified in Escherichia coli, Caenorhabditis elegans, mice and humans. Mechanisms of MG detoxicification include the glutathione (GSH)dependent pathway consisting of glyoxalase Ⅰ (GLO1) and glyoxalase Ⅱ (GLO2), and GSHindependent pathway catalyzed by glyoxalase Ⅲ (GLO3). E. coli Hsp31 and metazoan DJ1 proteins, belong to two different subfamilies of the Hsp31/DJ1 superfamily, have been demonstrated to have GLO3 activity. However, genes encoding GLO3 have not been reported in fungi. We performed a systematic survey of homologs of Hsp31 and DJ1 in fungi. We found that Hsp31 proteins are widely distributed among different fungal groups, whereas DJ1 proteins have a very limited distribution in fungi. Phylogenetic analysis of these sequences revealed that fungal Hsp31 and DJ1 proteins form two distinct monophyletic groups, and that fungal Hsp31 proteins can clearly be divided into different classes. One Saccharomyces cerevisiae Hsp31 protein (ScHsp31) and Schizosaccharomyces pombe DJ1 (SpDJ1) have GLO3 activity in vitro. Our results revealed that fungal homologs of the Hsp31/DJ1 superfamily could be GLO3, which may have some roles in protecting cells from MG toxicity. Our results also support the view that GLO3 activity likely evolved through convergent evolution.

    Corn grain drying not only required high productivity, but also guaranteed the quality of the dry ear. Consequently, we designed 5HZL1200 type maize ear vertical drying system, the control part of which was corn grain drying monitoring system developed on the Kingview. The problems of low efficiency of seeds drying, artificial error etc. have been overcome. The experimental results of using the vertical drying system for corn grain drying experiment showed that adopting vertical type of drying made its drying time 21 h shorter than that of flat drying; moreover, the precipitation rate was increased on average by 428%, and corn grain crushing rate was reduced by 22%. The system had been proved to have a series of characteristics, including high thermal efficiency, small occupied area, good drying quality, low unit cost, high automation, etc.

    2014, 26(4):  1116. 
    Abstract ( 375 )   PDF (816KB) ( 1224 )  
    In order to study spatial pattern of rurality in Zhejiang Province, the rurality index and evaluation model was constructed in the present paper based on previous research. Taking 69 counties and cities in Zhejiang Province as empirical units, the spatial pattern of rurality in Zhejiang Province was quantitatively analyzed with ArcGIS and GeoDA software. It was shown that the spatial pattern of rurality in Zhejiang Province exhibited a strong trend of spatial correlation and the aggregation kept growing in general. From the local perspective, “hot spots” of rurality concentrated in the southwest Zhejiang, and its spatial structure headed to the west, and increased progressively. While, “cold spots” of rurality concentrated in the northwest Zhejiang, and decreased remarkably over time.
