The results showed that the grain yields were different among the five experiment locations, when increasing of planting density, it did not affected the plant height, ear height and ear factor, with the planting density increased, stem diameter, leaf width, ear length, number of grains per row and 1 000-grain weight decreased sig- nificantly, but the grain yield of the third varieties increased. High planting density had a negative impact on ear traits, but the grain yield increased by high-density compensate for the adverse effects.Control space and time of fertilizer application can reach the highest yield under less Nitrogen fertilizer Yunrui 88 had the charec- teristics of wide range of adaptability and the density-tolerance, high-yielding poten- tial, which was favorable in planting on large areas.展开更多

Soils in Xishuangbanna, which is one of southwest China s tropical areas that maintain fragments of primary forests, were studied to a) evaluate the effect of two common land use changes, conversion of forests to agricultural land or rubber tree plantation, on the dynamics of available P and total P in bulk soils as well as total P in particle size fractions; b) assess the rel…展开更多

The bacterial strains responsible for higher accumulation of phytosterols during fermentation of the bamboo shoots have been isolated and further extraction and purification of the crude phytosterols (isolated from the fermented samples) were done by TLC, UV, NMR, IR and Mass spectral analysis. The isolated phytosterols (β-sitos-terols) were then subjected to microbial transformation which yielded a considerable amount of androsta-1, 4-diene-3,17-dione (ADD) in the incubation mixture in presence of metabolic inhibitors (α, α'-dipyridyl and sodium arsenate).展开更多

In our retrospective analysis there was an early assumption of at least three genes at or near the locus, which caused an erroneous presumption of genetic diversity for resistance. It is an example of another boom and bust cycle in plant breeding with races virulent to Yr26(V26 races) now being the majority race group in the Chinese Pst population. We have attempted to present our story in a historical and personal context demonstrating research inputs from different national and international groups, as well as some significant contemporary side issues. It covers the period from the late 1980 s to 2017, during which significant rapid advances in the molecular biology of host: pathogen genetics occurred. We attempt to describe both successes and drawbacks in our work.展开更多

Despite the increasing occurrence and intensity of the drought in the past decade in Southwestern China, the impacts of continuous drought events on vegetation in this region remain unclear. During 2001–2012, Southwestern China experienced the severe drought events from 2009 to 2011. Our aim is to characterize drought conditions in the Southwestern China and explore the impacts on the vegetation condition and terrestrial ecosystem productivity. The Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI) was used to characterize drought area and intensity and a light-use efficiency model was used to explore the effect of drought on the terrestrial ecosystem productivity with Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer(MODIS) data. The SPI captured the major drought events in Southwestern China during the study period, indicated that the 12-year period of this study included both ‘normal' precipitation years and two severe drought events in 2009–2010 and 2011. Results showed that vegetation greenness(Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, NDVI and Enhanced Vegetation Index, EVI) both declined in 2009/2010 drought, but the 2011 drought resulted in less declines of vegetation greenness and productivity due to shorten drought duration and rising temperature. Meanwhile, it was about 5 months lapse between drought events and maximum declines in vegetation greenness for 2009/2010 drought events. In addition, forest, grassland and cropland revealed significant different ecosystem responses to drought. It indicated that grassland showed an early sensitivity to drought, while cropland was the most sensitive to water deficit and forest was more resilient to drought. This study suggests that it is necessary to detect the difference responses of ecosystem to drought in a regional area with satellite data and ecosystem model.展开更多

The mineralization rate under waterlogged conditions was higher than that under upland conditions. The proportion of α-amino acid N in humus newly-formed under waterlogged conditions was slightly higher than that under upland conditions. It decreased gradually with time, while the proportion of nonhydrolyzable N showed no consistent trend, irrespective of the water regimes for decomposition. The distribution of amino acids in humus newly- formed from different plant materials under various water regimes was quite similar with that in original plant materials, and only minor differences could be found among them. For example, in comparison to original plant materials, the newly-formed humus contained higher proportions of isoleucine, cystine, γ-amino-butync acid and ornithine, and lower proportions of phenylalanine and proline. Moreover the proportion of phenylalanine was higher in the humus newly-formed under waterlogged conditions than that under upland conditions.展开更多
