[ Methods] With six different bitter gourd germplasms as experimental materials, the cold tolerance at bud and seedling stages were identified and evaluated. [ Results] At 18℃ , the largest change range of germination potential among different gernlplasms was 11.3% -96.0%, and the largest change range of germination rate was 13.3% - 100.0% ; and the six germplasms could be divided into three grades of cold tolerance. Therefore, 18 9C is an ideal temperature for the identification of cold tolerance in bitter gourd germplasms at bud stage. At 20℃, the cold tolerance in bitter gourd germplasms at bud stage could also be divided into three grades, and the change ranges of germination potential and germination rate were larger than 50.0%, so 20℃ could serve as the candidate temperature for the identification of cold tolerance in bitter gourd germplasms at bud stage. After 1 d of treatment at 6℃, the six bitter gourd germplasms could be divided into three grades, and the cold injury index had the largest range of 20.31 - 84.38 and could serve as the temperature index for the identification of cold tolerance in bitter gourd at seedling stage. [ Conclusions] This study will provide reference for the identification of cold tolerance in bitter gourd at bud stage and seedling stage.展开更多

[ Method] With five Chinese cabbage varieties bred by Zhengzhou Vegetable Research Institute and Beijing Xinsanhao as materials, the incidence regularity of tip-burn was studied using Chinese cabbage tip-burn identification method at seedling stage. [ Result] The disease index of tip-burn generally increased with the prolongation of culture time, but all varieties successively reached high susceptibility state at 45 d of calcium deficiency culture, and the disease basically reached a stable state at 55 d. Zhengbai 65 showed the best resist- ance in calcium deficiency treatment, while Zhengbai 4 displayed the worst tolerance and was very sensitive to calcium deficiency, with poor buffering capacity. Zhengbai 80 performed good buffering capacity in the early stage of calcium deficiency, but with the prolongation of culture time, the incidence developed rapidly in late stage. Other varieties showed different resistance and sensitivity, but they reached the stable incidence period almost at the same time point. [ Conclusion] The results provided a reference for prevention and control of tip-burn.展开更多

In this study, a water-saving and drought-resistant rice variety Huhan 3 was subjected to drought stress from tillering to grain-filling stages in six successive growth cycles. The variations in DNA methylation pattern between the original generation (Go) and the sixth generation (G6) were analyzed by using methylation sensitive amplification polymorphism method. The results revealed that the methylated loci accounted for 34.3% to 34.8% of the total loci. Among these methylated loci, 83.1% to 84.8% were full- and hyper-methylated and 15.2% to 16.9% were hemi-methylated. The DNA methylation level decreased from the three-leaf to four-leaf stages in Huhan 3. Differentially methylated loci (DML) between generations or/and between different developmental stages accounted for 4.0% of the total loci, most of which were only related to plant development (57.9%). Compared to Go, the DNA methylation pattern of G8 changed after drought domestication, at the three-leaf stage, de-methylation accounting for 59.1%, while at the four-leaf stage, re-methylation for 47.9%. Genome-wide alternations of DNA methylation were observed between the two seedling stages, and DML mainly occurred on the gene's promoter and exon region. The genes related to DML involved in a wide range of functional biology and participated in many important biological processes.展开更多

[ Method] The pathogenicity of the isolated strain was determined according to Koch's rules, and the pathogen was identified through Biolog system, 16S rDNA sequence analysis and physiological and biochemical methods. [ Result] Through Koch's test, the isolated 3 -3 strain was verified to be the pathogen causing floating seedling disease, which was consistent with the characteristics of Pectobacterium carotovo- rum subsp. Carotovorum through Biolog determination and the other physiological and biochemical methods. 16S rDNA sequence analysis showed that 3 -3 strain had the highest similarity with P. carotovorum subsp. Carotovorum strains Kun28213 (accession number GU936996), reaching 99. 9%. [Conclusion] Base on the identification results of several methods, the pathogen causing floating seedling disease was P. carotovorum subsp. Carotovorum, and the disease was first reported in China. According to the English name of the disease, the disease was called as tobacco blackleg disease.展开更多

[ Method] Based on the indoor reproduction technique of aphids, the sorghum varieties with different resistant performances against aphids in fields were conducted inoculation test in the laboratory according to different seedling culture media, different survey periods of aphid quantity, different leaf ages for inoculation, different inoculation quantity of aphids and different aphid sizes. Three hundred sorghum materials were identified in both laboratory and field. [ Result ] The number of aphids per seedling on the fifth day after inoculation gave the best score of plant resistance to sorghum aphid by using the loam as the seedling culture media, and inoculating three different sizes of aphids in seedlings at two-leaf stage. Thus, the indoor identification technique of resistance to sorghum aphids was as follows : ( 1 ) sorghum seeds were sown in loam at room temperature of 22 - 26 ℃ and air humidity of 55% - 75% ; (2) three aphids with different sizes were inoculated in scedIings at two-leaf stage; (3) the number of aphids per seeding were surveyed on the fifth day after inoculation; (4) plant resistance to sorghum aphid was evalu- ated according to number of aphids per seedling on the fifth day after inoculation. The resistant grade of sorghum variety was evaluated according to distribution of aphid quantity per seedling in a 100-seedlings population. The resistance materials identified by indoor method at seedling stage had consistent performance with fidd identification. [ Conclusion] The method could be used for resistance identification of sorghum varieties and hybrids, and accurate identification and selectlon of individual resistance of hybrid offspring, which could improve selection efficiency of individual resistant plant against aphids in hybrid offspring and identification accuracy of individual resistant plant among molecular marker population.展开更多
