Study on Effects of Organic Nutrient Solution on Amino Acid Contents in Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) Fruit

[Objectives] This study was conducted to investigate the effect of organic nutrient solution on litchi quality. [Methods] Different concentrations of organic nutrient solutions were sprayed on litchi leaves to study their effects on amino acid contents in the fruit of litchi cultivar "Qinzhouhongli". [Results] The results showed that the organic nutrient solution could significantly promote the growth of litchi fruit at various development stages and improve fruit quality by spraying the organic nutrient solution for 3 times with a dilution concentration of 500-1 500 times during fruit development(at an interval of 15 d) of litchi. It could increase the total essential amino acid, total semi-essential amino acid, lysine, phenylalanine, threonine, methionine, valine, leucine, histidine, arginine, aspartic acid, glycine, serine, proline, alanine and tyrosine contents. Spraying the organic nutrient solution with a dilution concentration of 1 000 times achieved the best effect of promoting the growth and improving quality of litchi fruit. [Conclusions] This study provides a theoretical basis for high-quality production and nutritional quality evaluation of litchi and the development of functional processed litchi products.

Effects of Application of Cassava Alcohol Anaerobic Fermentation Liquid and Mulching of Film on Overwintering and Next Year's Growth and Yield of Banana

The effects of application of cassava alcohol anaerobic fermentation liquid and mulching of film on overwintering and next year's growth and yield of banana were investigated in this study.The results showed that the application of cassava alcohol anaerobic fermentation liquid with COD concentration of 1 200-2 000 mg/L(900 m^3/hm^2) and mulching of film significantly increased the soil organic matter and available potassium contents in banana orchard,improved the cold resistance of banana seedlings,increased the pseudostem height,pseudostem circumference,green leaf number and chlorophyll content of next year's banana seedlings,brought the flower bud emergence period and harvest period forward,and significantly increased the yield per plant.

Study on Infection Ability of Rhizobium radiobacter from Rosa chinensis to Peach Tree

[Objectives] This study was conducted to analyze the infection ability of Rhizobium radiobacter from Rosa chinensis to peach tree,so as to provide a theoretical basis for the identification and control of crown gall of peach. [Methods]With peach variety ＂ Chiyohime＂ as an experimental material,R. radiobacter GOU1 was extracted from crown gall tissue of R. chinensis susceptible to crown gall,and its infection ability to peach tree was studied by in-vitro dip method.[Results]Stem segments of peach tree were inoculated with R. radiobacter GOU1 by in-vitro dip method. Calli grew rapidly after inoculation,and 28 d later,the infection rate of R. radiobacter GOU1 was 50%,indicating that R. radiobacter GOU1 could infect peach tree easier. The infection on stem segments of peach tree could be detected in the fourth week by in-vitro dip method. Culturing peach stem segments in MS medium containing 10 μM/L NAA and 10 μM/L BAP in vitro is beneficial to survival and could promote growth of callus. [Conclusions]The detection rate of R. radiobacter GOU1 infection on stem segments of peach tree did not change from the fourth week to the sixth week. Therefore,in future studies,the detection of R. radiobacter infection on inoculated stem segments of peach tree could be performed after 4 weeks of culture rather than 6 weeks of culture.
