[ Method] After germination, the germination potential, germination fraction and enzyme activity were detected, respectively. [ Result] The results showed that with the dose increased, the germination potential of sweet sorghum increased first and then decreased, while their germination fraction presented "shoulder like shape" ; the activity of LDH, SOD, CAT and GSH-Px increased first and then decreased with doses, they presented slight differences among different enzymes. [ Conclusion] Low dose radiation could accelerate germination of sweet sorghum seeds and enzyme activity could remain at a relatively high level. Enzyme activity decreased with high doses and the growth of sweet sorghum was inhibited.展开更多

The authors excluded this possibility based on two experimental results: First, enclosing the young lotus pod with aluminium foil, the growth of louts embryo continued, but the chlorophyll formation was seriously inhibited. A lot of protochlorophyllide, chlorophyll precursor, were accumulated, most of which were combined with LPOR (light dependent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase). Second, DPOR (dark or light-independent protochlorophyllide oxidoreductase) was the enzyme necessary for chlorophyll synthesis in the dark. The genes encoding DPOR were conservative in many species, but no homologues could be found in lotus genome. Taken together, authers' results clearly demonstrated that lotus embryo synthesizes chlorophyll only through the light-dependent pathway.展开更多

Total six kinds of seed-coating agents were selected, i.e., 20.5% imidacloprid ·prochloraz FS, 30.5% imidacloprid oprochloraz FS, 23.0% thiamethoxam · hymexazol·prochloraz FS, Ruisheng WS, Shileshi FS and Liangdun FS, and their effects of seeds of Longliangyou Huazhan and T You 272 were investigated. The results showed that when the percentage of glume-dehiscent seeds reached 10%, 20.5% imidacloprid .prochloraz significantly improved the germination rate of Longliangyou Huazhan, which was 4.33% higher than that in the control group, and the seedling rate of Longliangyou Huazhan remained unchanged; 30.5% imidacloprid. prochloraz did not improved the germination rate of T You 272, but improved its seedling rate, which was 7.66% higher than that in the control group. When the percentage of glume-dehiscent seeds reached 20%, 20.5% imidacloprid ·prochloraz and 30.5% imidacloprid.prochloraz improved the germination rate of T You 272 by 3.50% and 4.83%, respectively, and its seedling rate did not decline. In conclusion, seed-coating agents have certain repair effect on glume-dehiscent rice seeds; 20.5% imidacloprid ·prochloraz and 30.5% imidacloprid ·prochloraz could improve the efficiency of Longliangyou Huazhan and T You 272 with small amounts of glume-dehiscent seeds.展开更多

[Method] The effects of the different growth regulators 911 rooting agent, GA3 , ABT rooting powder on the germination ratio, the average germinating speed, the diameter of plumule and the survival rate of grafting shoots of camellia were compared and analyzed. [Result] The three growth regulators could significantly improve the growth potential of the plumules. The germination rate, plumule stem and survival rates of grafted plumules treated by the three growth regulators were much better than that of control. The germinating of camellia seeds treated with 911 rooting agent, GA3 or ABT rooting powder was 5, 7 or 9 d earlier than control; the diameter of embryo was 45%, 40% or 50% larger and the survival rate was 8%, 12% or 9% higher than that of control respectively. [Conclusion] The three hormones promoted the germination, the development of the roots including the lateral root and the fibrous, and improved the survival rate of cuttings. Among them, GA3 treatment produced the best efficiency.展开更多

(a globally recognized invasive alien weed) on six popular agricultural crops of Bangladesh. The test was conducted in sterilized petridishes with a photoperiod of 24 hours and an average temperature of 29℃. The effect of different concentrations ofL. camara leaf extracts were recorded and compared with control (i.e., distil water). Result showed different concentrations of aqueous leaf extracts caused significant inhibitory effect on germination, root and shoot elongation and development of lateral roots of receptor crops. Bioassays also indicated that the inhibitory effect was proportional to the concentrations of the extracts and higher concentration had the stronger inhibitory effect whereas the lower concentration showed stimulatory effect in some cases. The inhibitory effect was much pronounced in root and lateral root development rather than shoot and germination.展开更多

Although the effective concentration varies with the inhibitors used, all of the inhibitors induced the formation of trumpet-shaped and/or fused leaves. The frequency of trumpet-shaped leaf formation was related to the concentration of inhibitors in the medium.Histological observation of tobacco seedlings showed that there was only one main vascular bundle and several minor vascular bundles in normal leaves of the control, but there were several vascular bundles of more or less the same size in the trumpet-shaped leaves of treated ones.These results indicated that auxin polar transport played an important role on bilateral symmetry of leaf growth.展开更多

Sterilized for 6 rain with 0.1% (w/v) mercuric chloride solution is an essential sterilization method for stems. June and July proved to be better for material taking, followed by May. The callus formation rate of balsam pears reached the highest when medium added with IBA 1.0mg/L and BA 2.0 mg/L, while the optimum medium for adventitious bud induction was MS added with IBA 0.5mg/L and BA 4.0 mg/L. And it will provide theoretical and technical basis for rapid propagation and breeding.展开更多

TDM at 20 mg/L was given to tubers by dipping the tubers in treatment solution containing 20 mg/L TDM on 10, 25 and 40 d after storage (DAS). Starch, sugars, protein, amino acid contents as well as protease and a-amylase activities were estimated on 15, 30 and 45 DAS from two physiological regions viz., apical and basal regions of the tubers. In normal conditions (control) sprouting occurred on 70 to 80 DAS. The starch content decreased, while protein, amino acid, sugar contents and protease and a-amylase activities were increased due to TDM treatment and led to early sprouting.展开更多

Genetic and environmental factors are thought to play a role in its etiology and pathogenesis. The disorder has a heterogeneous clinical expression and data from tertiary care settings have documented its female predominance, occasional familial nature, and high rate of stricture formation and penetrating disease. It may appear from early childhood to late adulthood, although over 80% are currently diagnosed before age 40 years, usually with terminal ileal and colonic involvement. Several studies have now shown differences in phenotypic clinical expression depending on the initial age at diagnosis, with pediatric-onset disease being more severe and more extensive with more involvement of the upper gastrointestinal tract compared to adult-onset disease. In addition, long- term studies from these tertiary care settings have documented that the disorder may evolve with time into a more complex disease with stricture formation and penetrating disease complications (i.e. fistula and abscess). Although prolonged remission with no evidence of inflammatory disease may occur, discrete periods of symptomatic and active granulomatous inflammatory disease may re-appear over many decades. Long-term studies on the natural history have also suggested that discrete events (or agents) may precipitate this granulomatous inflammatory process.展开更多
