Effects of Slow-release Fertilizers and Sugarcane-specific Fertilizers on Yield and Quality of Sugarcane

The effects of slow-release fertilizers and sugarcane-specific fertilizers on the growth and quality of sugarcane were studied to provide a theoretical basis for cultivation of sugarcane with lower costs but higher efficiency. Field experiments were carried out in two major sugarcane areas in Guangxi and three fertilization treatments were studied: single application of compound fertilizers( treatment I),compound fertilizers + slow-release fertilizers( treatment II) and sugarcane-specific base fertilizers + sugarcane-specific topdressing( treatment III). Effects of equal fertilization conditions of treatment I,II and III on growth,yield and sugar of sugarcane were studied. The three fertilization treatments had little effects on emergence,tillering,and effective stems of sugarcane,but compared with the treatment of compound fertilizer( treatment I) with a ratio of N,P,and K of 1∶1∶1,treatment II using slow-release fertilizers as topdressing had better growth,higher plant height and stem diameter,so the yield was higher. Treatment III designed sugarcane-specific fertilizers with proper ratio according to fertilizer demands of sugarcane. Besides,the treatment III sugarcane-specific base fertilizers,containing certain amount of organic matters,could promote the sugar accumulation of sugarcane. Therefore,the sugarcane yield of treatment III was higher than that of treatment II. In conclusion,slow-release fertilizers and sugarcane-specific fertilizers can significantly increase sugarcane yield,especially sugarcane-specific fertilizers. Sugarcane-specific fertilizers have reasonable ratio and contain certain amount of organic matters,and can increase sugar content,obtain significant economic benefits,so it is worth popularization in large areas.

Cloning of Small Heat-shock Protein (sHSP) Gene from Sugarcaneand Analysis of Its Expression under Drought Stress

The present experiment was conducted to clone small heat-shock protein （sHSP） in sugarcane to explore mechanism of stress resistance in sugarcane. sHSP was amplified using RT-PCR from sugarcane leaves, the characteristics of the deduced protein wereanalyzed using bioinformatics software, and its expression was analyzed using quantitative real-time PCR. The results showed that the eDNA of HSP gene obtained by RT-PCR which was 659 bp in full length with a 459 bp open reading frame, encodes a putative sHSP protein with 152 amino acids. Homology comparison between the amino acid sequences of the sHSP protein and 14 di[- ferent species indicated that the sHSP protein had 69% to 96% identity in amino acid sequence with other plants. The deduced amino acid sequence not only conrained a typical sHSP domain, but also was very conservative. The results of quantitative real-time PCR analysis showed that the mRNA of sHSP decreased inilially and then increased with time under drought stress. These results suggested that sHSP is expressed under induction of drought stress, anddrought resistance in sugarcane is enhanced by Si application.

Optimization of Extraction Process of Anthocyanins from Selenium-enriched Purple Potato by Response Surface Methodology

Ultrasound-assisted extraction method was applied to extract the anthocyanins from selenium-enriched purple potato,and the optimum extraction conditions for anthocyanins in selenium-enriched purple potato were obtained by response surface methodology:the phosphoric acid concentration of 1.0%,the solid-liquid ratio at 5,and the extraction time of 19 min.Under these conditions,the yield of anthocyanins in selenium-enriched purple potato reached(0.409±0.010)mg/g(RSD=2.51%,n=3).The extraction of anthocyanins from selenium-rich fresh purple potato with dilute phosphoric acid has the advantages of less acid consumption and good extraction effect.

Isolation and Identification of Selenium-tolerant Strains from Selenium-rich Soil in Guangxi

To provide reference for selenium resource exploitation of soil,many selenium-tolerant strains were isolated from selenium-rich soil in Guangxi. The dilution spread plate method and selenium-added culture method were used to screen the selenium-tolerant strains from the soils which were sampled from the main Selenium-rich areas such as Yongfu,Bama,Yulin Hanshan,Guiping and Tengxian. The results showed that 8 strains with high selenium tolerance were obtained,which could tolerate the selenium concentration above 10 000 μg/m L in solid medium. Among the 8 strains,YLB1-33 showed the highest selenium tolerance,and it could still grow weakly in the solid medium with selenium concentration of 29 000 μg/m L. The sequencing of 16 S rD NA and phylogenetic analysis showed that YLB1-6 was identified as Bacillus cereus,BMB2-1 and TXB1-8 were identified as Bacillus pumilus,GPB2-5 was identified as Bacillus thuringiensis,YLB1-26 and YLB1-33 were identified as Bacillus licheniformis,and YLB1-2 and YFB1-8 were identified as Serratia marcescens. The finding of selenium-tolerance strains had potential application value on promoting the utilization of selenium soil resources and the development of selenium-rich agricultural products in Guangxi.

Study on Extraction Method of Selenium-enriched Rice

[Objectives] The aims were to optimize the extraction process of selenoproteins from selenium-enriched rice in Guangxi and provide references for the intensive processing and comprehensive utilization of selenium protein resources. [Methods]Selenium-enriched rice was used as materials to extract selenoproteins by phosphate buffer extraction method and to optimize the extraction process of selenoproteins by using the orthogonal experiment.

The optimum extraction conditions of selenoproteins from rice were extraction temperature of 50 ℃,NaO H concentration of 0. 14 mol/L,extraction time of 5 h,and solid-liquid ratio of 1∶ 30. [Conclusions]The alkali extraction process optimized by orthogonal test could effectively improve the extraction rate of selenoproteins,and the optimized process parameters could be popularized and applied in practical production.

Form and Interconversion Factor of Selenium in Soil

In recent years,production and processing of natural selenium-rich agricultural products has become a research hotspot. The main factor affecting the selenium content in plant is the content of effective selenium in soil. So it is important to understand the form and conversion relationship of selenium in soil and find ways to improve selenium effectiveness. By summarizing the researches on selenium at home and abroad,we analyze the classification of soil selenium form,the transformation among different selenium forms and the improving factors of selenium effectiveness. We understand the relationship between chemical form and extraction form of selenium,analyze the driving factors of conversion among different forms,and discuss the ways to improve selenium effectiveness of soil in high selenium-rich area. By combining characteristics of soil and crop in different selenium-rich regions,different selenium activation methods are used,which could provide more scientific evidence for further selenium research.
