The research reviewed soil moisture indices at home and abroad and classified the indices into two categories in order to make prediction on soil moisture and take measures. Specifically, single indices included precipitation index, soil moisture index, and crop drought index and overall indices included supply/demand water index of crops, overall water index, PDSI, crop water shortage index. Soil moisture index was analyzed in terms of advantages and disadvantages,as well as adaptability in agriculture, providing references for relieving and predicting adverse effects on agriculture and formulating scientific policies.展开更多

Identification of desiccation-tolerance and -sensitivity of seeds is the basis making storage strategy of seeds and long-term conservation of species gene resources. In addition to the inherent characteristics of the species, developmental status of the seeds, dehydration rate, and the conditions under which they are dried and subsequently re-imbibed are very important factors influencing desiccation tolerance of seeds. Survival, electrolyte leakage rate, and germination/growth rate produced by survived seeds are a excellent synthetic parameter when discussing desiccation tolerance of seeds. Desiccation tolerance of seeds is a quantitative feature. The term 'critical water content' is incorrect and has caused some confusion in assessment of seed recalcitrance. A new working approach to quantify the degree of seed recalcitrance has been proposed in this paper.展开更多

[Method] Seven different sugarcane varieties were studied at the seedling stage under drought stress,and the changes of leaf water and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters under stress conditions were detected. [Result] leaf water potential,leaf relative water content and soil relative water content showed a certain amount of internal relationship,the sugarcane varieties that had more tolerant to drought had higher utilization rate of soil water; the correlation analysis and factor analysis suggested that the survival rate at seedling stage under drought stress,Fv/Fm,leaf water potential and relative water content could be used as drought resistance evaluation indicators. [Conclusion] As a relatively independent influencing factor,water potential had dominating effect on drought resistance,and the reliability of Fv/Fm as drought resistance evaluation indicator had been verified.展开更多

[Method] Heavy metal contents in 106 soil samples collected from fruit producing area in Youjiang District, Baise City, Guangxi Province were analyzed, and soil heavy metal pollution condition in this area was estimated applying single factor index method and Hakanson' potential ecological risk index method with reference to the second grade of National Soil Environmental Quality Standard and soil background values of this area. [Result] According to the second grade of National Soil Environmental Quality Standard, soil heavy metals in this fruit producing area is at the level of no pollution; and the total potential ecological risk pollution risk (RI) of soil heavy metals was 97.7, indicating no risk. [Conclusion] The fruit producing area in Baise City, Guangxi Province is free of heavy metal pollution.展开更多

Pearl millet grains (Pennisetum typhoides var. PHB-2168) were steamed for 20 min at 1.05 kg cm^2 in order to minimize lipase activity, total phenols, phytic acid and tannins content. Steamed grains were dried (12 ± 0.5% moisture content), pearled, milled, sieved through sieve opening size of 0.234 mm and were used for study. Central composite rotatable design (CCRD) with three independent variables i.e. vanaspati, sugar and water for rehydration were used to design the experiments. Sensory responses and rehydration ratio were used to study the individual and interactive effects of variables. Sensory score for colour varied from taste 6.3-7.9, mouth feel 6.4-7.8, overall acceptability (OAA) 6.5-7.9 and rehydration ratio (RR) from 1.4 to 2.3. All the responses fitted into quadratic equation with R2 〉 0.80. Halwa dry mix was also evaluated for stability in polyethylene pouches at ambient conditions and the peroxide and free fatty acids value were 21.35 meqO2 kg^-1 fat, 0.55% (oleic acid), respectively after 6 months of storage. Based on compromise optimization, optimum levels of the ingredients recommended with 86.4% desirability were: vanaspati 38.6 g 100 g^-1 pearl millet semolina (PMS), sugar 88.7 g 100 g^-1 PMS and water for rehydration 151 mL 100 g^-1 dry mix.展开更多

Cotyledons and hypocotyl were taken from seedling of these hybrids and cultured on MS media contained 2,4-D (0,0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 mg/L) and kinetin (0.0, 0.5, and 1.0 mg/L). The cultures incubated at 25 + I^C under light condition (1,000 Lux) for 16 h/day. After 6 weeks observations were taken on the response of cotyledons and hypocotyl to callus induction. The induced callus were cultured on the same MS media that contained appropriate concentrations of 2,4-D and kinetin for callus induction as well as contained various concentration of sodium chloride NaCI (0.0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.15 and 0.2%). After six weeks callus fresh and dry weights, proline and total carbohydrates concentrations were measured. The results showed significant differences among the hybrids, explants, 2,4-D and kinetin concentration and significant interaction between them in their percentage response for callus induction. The results also revealed that fresh and dry weights were significantly reduced with increased NaCI concentration in the medium, hybrids showed significant differences in their response to salt stress. Proline and total carbohydrate concentration increased in callus as NaCI increased in the media. Significant interaction was showed between hybrids and NaCI concentration in these parameters.展开更多

[Method] "Zaofeng", "Yah Long" etc. 15 chestnut varieties in Yan Shan area were taken as research objects and investigated the sensory, physicochemical nutrition and processing indexes. The correlation analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis were adopted to simplify and calculate the evaluation index, and set up the mathematical model. [Result] Obvious differences in different varieties of raw materials and products of each index and some indicators existed significant correlation relationship; principal component analysis determined the five principal components: hardness, b value, moisture content, total sugar, browning degree and edible rate or the core indicators of quality evaluation in peak sweet chestnut, and the establishment of products comprehensive value scoring model: Y=0.033 509 hardness +0.033 509 b value +0.f85 1'73 moisture content +0.208 983 total sugar +0.108 499 browning degree +0.430 327 ratio of feed, peak sweet chestnut quality and raw material associated model: Y=-1.109+0.015 ratio of good fruit -0.018 kernel hardness +0.008 starch, [Conclusion] Peak sweet chestnut processing suitability evaluation model can provide the basis for chestnut processing and the suitable processing of the chestnut breeding; "Yanguang", "Yan Long", "Yankui", are very suitable, and "Zibo", "Yah Ping" are more appropriate for peak sweet processing.展开更多
