    Abstract ( 410 )   PDF (758KB) ( 1288 )  
    In order to accelerate seed dehydration process in hybrid rice seed production, different dehydrating agents were sprayed on seeds at dough stage in hybrid rice (cv. Qianyou NO.1) seed production in the field in summer, and the effects of different dehydrating agents and application concentrations on seed dehydration and quality of Qianyou NO.1 were studied. The results showed that all the 15 combinations of dehydrating chemicals could accelerate seed dehydration, and the moisture contents of seeds were decreased by 155%-835%, moreover, seed maturities were 1-10 days earlier than that of the control. Among 15 treatments, treatment No.7 had the best effect according to the germination parameters and 1 000-grain weight. Treatment No.7 not only had no negative effects on seed quality but also decreased seed moisture content for 246% and accelerated the maturation by 5 days. The results also showed that treatment No.7 could increase germination energy and germination index, improve seedling growth and POD activity, and decrease MDA content. It was suggested that treatment No.7 was a suitable seed dehytrating agent at dough stage for hybrid rice (cv. Qianyou NO.1) seed production.

    2015, 27(6):  907. 
    Abstract ( 329 )   PDF (466KB) ( 1191 )  
    Seven varieties of waxy corn were used to isolate large and small starch granules and constitute the reconstituted starch according to different weight ratio. Pasting and rheological properties of the reconstituted starch were analyzed by dint of Rapid Viso\|Analyzer and rheometer, respectively. The results indicated that peak viscosity, breakdown and consistency coefficient of seven waxy corns in five reconstituted starch treatments exhibited as 3∶0>2∶1>1∶1>1∶2>0∶3, and flow rheological index represented as 3∶0<2∶1<1∶1<1∶2<0∶3. Trough viscosity, final viscosity, setback value, peak time and pasting temperature in the reconstituted starch were different among seven varieties. Correlation analysis showed the percentage of large starch granule in the reconstituted starch was significantly positively correlated with peak viscosity (R2=0.96-0.99), breakdown (R2=0.92-0.99) and consistency coefficient (R2=0.89-0.98), while significantly negatively correlated with flow behavior index (R2=-0.93-1.00). The relations of the percentage of small starch granule and these properties were contrary. Therefore, the higher percentage of large starch granule in the reconstituted starch was, the bigger peak viscosity, breakdown and consistency coefficient were, and the smaller flow behavior index was.

    2015, 27(6):  970. 
    Abstract ( 357 )   PDF (2178KB) ( 1271 )  
    The full\|length of cDNA of SAMS gene from Hosta ventricosa flowers was obtained by RACE and RT\|PCR, which was designated as HvSAMS. Its open reading frame has 1 191 bp and is not interrupted by any intron, encoding a polypeptide of 396 amino acids. Multiple alignment analysis based on the amino acids indicated that HvSAMS had the similarity of 95% with that from Elaeagnus umbellata, Dendrobium crumenatum, and Lycoris radiata. Phylogenetic analysis showed that HvSAMS had the closest relation with that from Gladiolus grandiflorus. The expression patterns of HvSAMS were investigated by means of semi\|quantitative RT\|PCR. HvSAMS was expressed highly in flowers and leaves, moderately in roots, but poorly in stems. HvSAMS transcript was significantly down\|regulated in senescing flowers, but significantly up\|regulated in wounded leaves. HvSAMS may not be involved with ethylene production because the changes in HvSAMS expression were not closely related to ethylene emission.

    Abstract ( 452 )   PDF (577KB) ( 1251 )  
    Physiological characteristics of rootstock Maotao and new peach cultivar Dongxixiaoxian were investigated under water controlled conditions, so as to reveal the possible mechanisms of Dongxixiaoxian in response to waterlogging stress. The waterlogging resistance capacity of these two peach cultivars were evaluated comprehensively by the content of membrane lipid peroxidation products malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, peroxidase (POD) activity and chlorophyll content, root activity, cell membrane permeability, and photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters. The results showed that the root activity, the content of chlorophyll, Yield, ETR, Fv/Fm of two cultivars decreased with the increase of waterlogging days. And the decreases in Dongxixiaoxian were less significantly than in Maotao. Meanwhile, the content of MDA and cell membrane penetrability were increased with the increase of waterlogging days, and the increases in Maotao were more significant than in Dongxixiaoxian. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) of two cultivars exhibited the pattern of increase firstly then decrease, but two activities in Dongxixiaoxian were more significant than in Maotao. So the waterlogging resistance capacity of Dongxixiaoxian was significantly stronger than that of Maotao.

    WANG En\|guo
    2015, 27(6):  1008. 
    Abstract ( 351 )   PDF (794KB) ( 1271 )  
    Data from forecast and control of rice diseases during 1995-2012 in Linhai were analyzed in this study to reveal long\|term movement rule of rice diseases after changing from double into single cropping system, which was supposed to be helpful to improve diseases control level. The results showed that there was a gradually aggravated trend in the evolution from the former structure of main rice diseases, sheath blight, blast and bacterial stripe (bacterial blight), to a structure of sheath blight, black\|streaked dwarf and false smut (panicle blast). A mathematical model for long\|term diseases movement of sheath blight, black\|streaked dwarf, false smut has been established. Four key points were proposed to control single\|cropping rice diseases, controlling planthoppers to prevent dwarf at seedling stage, managing disease center at tillering stage, three check\|ups for preventing at heading stage, and local prevention for local diseases. Therefore, to ensure super\|high\|yield cultivation of single\|cropping rice, diseases control strategies in single\|cropping system need to be adjusted basing on understanding the diseases movement rules and improving node management technology, rather than timely treating for single disease.

    Abstract ( 487 )   PDF (1528KB) ( 1282 )  
    Twenty\|six autogeny lines were selected to assess resistant levels to TYLCV and genotypes by natural incidence in field, seedling artificial inoculation, PCR amplification and TaqⅠrestriction enzyme. Anaizi and Hangza 301 were used as susceptible control and resistant control, respectively. The results showed that 27 tested materials all were high resistant to TYLCV, 1 tested material was susceptible to TYLCV, and the results of identification of natural incidence was consistent with artificial inoculation. According to molecular detection, 26 tested autogeny materials contains dominant Ty gene except Anaizi and No.24 material, 21 of which contain homozygous gene, 5 of which contain heterozygous gene. Ty\|4 and Ty\|5 gene were not detected among tested materials. The coincidence rate reached above 964% among molecular detection, artificial inoculation and natural incidence in field. It was indicated that materials containing dominant Ty showed superior resistant symptoms, while materials containing different resistant genes had different resistant symptoms. Materials carrying two or more resistant genes had higher and more stable resistant level. So combination of molecular detection and field identification could get a material containing two or more resistant genes which might have higher, broader and more stable resistance.

    Ammonia oxidizing bacteria were screened and isolated from aquaculture water, sludge and rural rivers. Following characterization of the phylogeny of the isolated strains based on their denitrifying capability, the effects of carbon source, C/N ratio, initial pH, inoculation quantity, rotation speed and temperature on ammoxidation characteristics were studied. It was shown that 30 ammonia oxidation strains were obtained by screening on plates of ammoxidation medium. One strain named AOZ1 exhibited the highest ammoxidating capability, and was designated as Enterobacter sp based on 16S rDNA sequence and phylogenetic analysis. The optimum condition for ammoxidation was as follows: sodium acetate as carbon source, C/N ratio 15∶1, inoculation amount 1%, initial pH 7.5, rotational speed 200 r·min-1, and temperature 30℃. Under this condition, the removal rate of ammonia nitrogen reached 98.70%.

    2015, 27(6):  1048. 
    Abstract ( 351 )   PDF (2912KB) ( 1195 )  
    In order to enhance water exchange and improve water quality in Lixia River watershed, water transfer experiment was conducted from Dec. 3rd, 2006 to Jan. 7th, 2007. Eight water quality parameters, namely, temperature,pH, dissolved oxygen (DO), chemical oxygen demand (COD), potassium permanganate index (CODMn), ammonia nitrogen (NH+4\|N), electrical conductivity (EC), transparency, were adopted to analyze the effects of water transfer on water quality. It was shown that NH+4\|N and COD were the main pollutants. But, the effects of water transfer on overall water quality in Lixia River watershed were spatially and temporally heterogeneous, as the water quality returned to the original level after the water transfer. Industrial wastewater, domestic sewage and non\|point pollution were the key factors causing deterioration of water quality. These results would be helpful for a better understanding toward the water quality change during water transfer and would yield references for the making of proper scheduling scheme.

    Abstract ( 328 )   PDF (1640KB) ( 1250 )  
    Based on the daily temperature observation data from Lishui meteorological station during 1953 to 2013,the critical temperature in loquat fruit growth was determined. The methods such as multi\|scale analysis,Mann\|Kendall test were used to analyze the climatic change in loquat growth,and to assess the impact of low temperature frozen injury and heat injury on loquat growth. The results showed that: the critical temperature of flowering,young fruit stage and maturity of loquat were at -5,-3 and 30℃, respectively,the flowering stages named as “the third flowers” was affected mostly by freezing,the possibility of frozen injury was the maximum in January in young fruit stage and the probability of heat injury was increased in maturity. The number of days less than -3℃ during loquat flowering significantly reduced,while the extreme minimum temperature increased significantly,especially in the 21st century;The most significant effects caused by high temperature on loquat mature were mainly in the 1990s,and the high temperature days ≥30℃ significantly increased. Therefore,the probability of frozen injury to loquat reduced,but heat injury increased in the mountain area of Lishui.
