[Methods] At different yield levels, the yield components of super-high yield population in Zhongzao 39 were analyzed. Correlation analysis, regression analysis and path analysis were performed to analyze the relationship among traits and their contributions to yield. [Results] The performance of ear, grain and weight in Zhongzao 39 showed significant differences among different yield levels. It showed that the direct contributions of main economic traits to yield were determined to be 1 000-grain weight〉effective ears〉seed setting rate〉filled grains per ear. [Conclusions] The super-high yielding and effective cultivation techniques were suggested as follows： on the basis of the increasing number of effective ears and the remaining of grain weight, a stable seed setting rate should be considered.展开更多

Few studies have considered the health effects of PM2.5 or the loss of crop yields due to surface 03 using model-simulated air pollution data in China. We used gridded outputs from the WRF-Chem model, high resolution population data, and crop yield data to evaluate the effects on human health and crop yield in China's Mainland. Our results showed that outdoor PM2.5 pollution was responsible for 1.70-1.99 million cases of all-cause mortality in 2006. The economic costs of these health effects were estimated to be 151.1-176.9 billion USD, of which 90% were attributed to mortality. The estimated crop yield losses for wheat, rice, maize, and soybean were approximately 9, 4.6, 0.44, and 0.34 million tons, respectively, resulting in economic losses of 3.4 billion USD. The total economic losses due to ambient air pollution were estimated to be 154.5-180.3 billion USD, accounting for approximately 5.7%-6.6% of the total GDP of China in 2006. Our results show that both population health and staple crop yields in China have been significantly affected by exposure to air pollution. Measures should be taken to reduce emissions, improve air quality, and mitigate the economic loss.展开更多
