[Method] Pollens of six kinds of Xinjiang apricots were cultured in solid media supplemented with five plant growth regulators (GA3 , NAA, 2, 4-D, 6-BA, IAA). Then the rate of pollen germination and the length of pollen tube were respectively measured. [Result] In a certain concentration range, GA3 most significantly promoted the pollen germination and the pollen tube growth of Shushanggan, Kalayulvke, Dayoujia, Yiliakeyulvke and Kabakehuanna; NNA had the strongest improvement function on Kumaiti’s pollen germination and pollen tube growth. [Conclusion] All the five plant growth regulators promoted the pollen germination and the pollen tube growth of apricots at low concentration but inhibited them at high concentration.展开更多

The distribution of free_IAA in anthers and its dynamic variation could be reflected by this method. The results showed that the IAA level in the anthers of Nongken 58S after long_day treatment was much lower than that in short_day_treated Nongken 58S and those in wild type Nongken 58 in five stages from pistil and stamen primordia formation to late uninucleate stage. The possible reasons for IAA deficiency in Nongken 58S_LD anthers and its relationship with fertility alteration were also discussed.展开更多

Because ethylene is thought to play a key role in coordinating these developmental changes, the authors studied the temporal and spatial patterns of expression of genes encoding 1 aminocyclopropane 1 carboxylic acid (ACC) synthase and ACC oxidase following pollination associated factor treatments in orchid flowers. Both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase mRNA accumulation in the various parts of the flowers is induced by auxin, and ethylene, but not by emasculation. The patterns of both ACC synthase and ACC oxidase mRNA accumulation are similar in all floral organs following auxin and ethylene treatments. Further, in situ hybridization analysis indicates that the ACC oxidase mRNA is localized in epidermal and parenchyma cells of the stigma after auxin and ethylene treatments. The putative roles of auxin, ethylene and emasculation are discussed in terms of the regulation of ACC synthase and ACC oxidase gene expression in flowers.展开更多

[Method] With sole cropping of cassava (M1) and sole cropping of peanut (M2) as control groups, effects of intercropping of cassava with 1 row, 2 rows and 3 rows of peanut (M3, M4 and M5)on crop growth, yields and economic benefit were studied. [Result] Intercropping affected both growth and yields of cassava and peanut. Growth competition existed between cassava and peanut, and plant heights of cassava and peanut changed similarly. In late stages of intercropping, treatments M1, M2 and M5 showed higher plant heights under no nitrogen application, while treatment M3 and M4 exhibited higher plant heights under nitrogen application; intercropping improved leaf temperature, but no obvious law could be observed among different intercropping treatments; and intercropping improved total dry matter amount, which was the highest in M5 in root expanding stage and on the 30th day of the expanding stage, and the highest in M4 on the 60th day of the expanding stage. Intercropping reduced the yield of single plant, but improved the economic benefit of red upland soil; and under no nitrogen application and nitrogen application, cassava yields decreased by 25.35% and 14.55%, respectively, peanut yields decreased by 28.76% and 52.60%, respectively, while economic benefit increased by 72.90% and 56.82%, respectively. [Conclusion] Compared with sole cropping, interplanting cassava with 1 row, 2 rows or 3 rows of peanut could all improve economic benefit, and the economic benefit increased with number of rows of interplanted peanut increasing.展开更多

The activity of β_glucanases was, in a certain extent, decreased by nojirimycin, an inhibitor of glucosidase. Pollen germination percentage reduced dramatically when nojirimycin was applied in the culture medium. In case that nojirimycin was added at 0 or 1 h after the onset of incubation, the inhibition rate was 99.6% and 91.4%, respectively. When 3 mmol/L of nojirimycin was applied in the liquid medium at 0, 1, 1.5 and 2 h after the onset of incubation, the growth of pollen tubes was interrupted, which resulted in the morphological change of the pollen tubes such as the newly grown portion of pollen tubes being bent, curved and swollen. Tracing the growth pattern of the individual pollen tube grown in semi_solid medium by video microscopy, the authors demonstrated that pollen tube growth rate was strongly inhibited by nojirimycin at concentrations ranged from 0.003 to 3 mmol/L. Moreover, the cytoplasmic arrangement and the morphology of the pollen tubes were also affected by nojirimycin. The growth inhibition brought about by nojirimycin was reversible. These results indicated that β_glucanases, which degrade 1,3_β_glucan and/or 1,4_β_glucan or 1,3:1,4_β_glucan constructed in the cell wall, are involved in pollen germination and pollen tube growth. It provides new insight into an understanding of the contribution of β_glucanases to the cell wall extensibility and the crucial role of cell wall in regards to the regulation of pollen tube growth.展开更多

In this study, the effects of different nitrogen application levels on various growth characteristics of alfalfa were investigated. The results showed that nitrogen application exhibited no significant effects on plant height and stem diameter but posed significant effects on branch number of alfalfa. Branch number of alfalfa in each cutting raised with the increasing application level of nitrogen, with significant differences among different treatments (P〈0.05); individual aboveground biomass increased with the increasing application level of nitrogen, but the increasing trend gradually tended to be steady from the first to the fourth cutting. Nitrogen application affected significantly (P〈0.05) individual aboveground biomass of alfalfa in the first, second and fourth cutting, but exhibited no significant effects on individual aboveground biomass of alfalfa in the third cutting. With the increase of nitrogen application level, total surface area, total volume, collar diameter and crossing number of alfalfa roots increased gradually, but total length, average diameter and furcating number of alfalfa roots increased first and then declined. Total length, average diameter and furcating number of alfalfa roots reached the maximum in N60 treatment.展开更多

Regardless of growth regulator treatment, chilling bulbs for 3 weeks at 10℃ before planting accelerated flowering of the first inflorescence by 5 to 6 days, elongated floral stem length by 1.5 to 2 cm and shortened leaf length by 4 to 5 cm as compared with non-chilled bulbs. When bulbs were chilled 3 weeks at 10℃ before planting, Fascination 2% and Pro-Gibb accelerated flowering of the first inflorescence by 2 to 6 days respectively as compared with the control. When bulbs were not chilled before planting, Fascination 2% and Pro-Gibb accelerated flowering of the first inflorescence by 6 to12 days respectively as compared with the control. The lengths of the leaves and the inflorescences were not affected by PGR treatment. Higher rates of Pro-Gibb (100 mg.L^-1 and 200 mg.L^-1) and more amount of Fascination 2%(100 μL and 200 μL) can cause abortion of inflorescence.展开更多

Studies were conducted under laboratory conditions to determine the effect of soil temperature on root and shoot growth of cotton during emergence. Cotton seedlings were grown for 192 h at 20, 32 and 38℃ in soil packed in 300 mm long and 50 mm diameter cylinders. The data indicated that the longest roots (173 ram) as well as shoots (152 mm) were recorded at 32℃ followed by 20 (130 mm root and 82 mm shoot) and 38℃ (86 mm root and 50 mm shoot). Roots grown at 20 and 38 ℃ were 20% and 50% shorter, respectively, than those grown at 32℃ after 192 h. Roots and shoots exhibited the lowest length and dry biomass at 38 ℃. Shoot lengths grown at 20 (74 mm) and 38℃(51 mm) were 44% and 61% shorter than those grown at 32℃(131 mm) after 180 h growth period, respectively. Growth at all three temperatures followed a similar pattern. Initially there was a linear growth phase followed by the reduction or cessation of growth. Time to cessation of growth varied with temperature and decreased faster at higher temperatures. Sowing of cotton should be accomplished before seedbed reaches a soil temperature (≥ 38 ℃) detrimental for emergence. Further, the seedbeds should be capable of providing sufficient moisture and essential nutrients for emerging seedling before its seed reserves are exhausted to enhance seedling establishment in soil.展开更多

The percentage of fruit set was determined by comparing the initial number of flowers present on each treated branch with the total number of almonds on the branches 50 days after anthesis. In comparison to the controls, Brassinolide, Point-tomatomone and Promalin achieved increases in fruit set of 19.4%, 14.5% and 12.9%, respectively. A parallel experiment was done in vitro, on the effects of these GRs on pollen germination and pollen tube growth. The greatest pollen germination (4 hours at 20 ~C) occurred with Brassinolide and GA3, which were significantly higher than the control, while NAA and Promalin significantly reduced germination. For pollen tube growth (24 hours at 20 ~C), the greatest lengths were observed with Point-tomatomone and Brassinolide, which were significantly longer than the control, while NAA, Thidiazuron and Promalin were significantly shorter than the control, and the least growth was observed with Kinetin.展开更多

All cotton leaves exhibited similar basic responses to shading, including decreased net photosynthetic rates, a tendency to decrease in transpiration rates, and increased stomatal conductance and intercellular CO2 concentration. The leaf conductance of 80% shaded and 40% shaded plants increased by 28% and 16.7% compared with no-shaded plants at high water, respectively, but the net photosynthetic rates of 80% shaded and 40% shaded plants declined by 50% and 14.73%, respectively. Results showed that combined effect of soil moisture and shading on photosynthetic and stomatal responses in cotton leaves was very remarkable.展开更多

This plant has good potential as a donor plant in breeding programme for Phytophthora to foot rot resistance in the cultivated species, P. nigrum. This project was carried out to reveal the optimum time to collect pollen of P. colubrinum for artificial pollination. Through this study, anther dehiscence was proved occurred around 9 am. Based on the result obtained from study on the time of anther dehiscence, the pollen was classified into five stages for testing on the viability, i.e., stage 1, before anther dehiscence, i.e., around 7 am (pollen obtained by crushing on the anther); stage 2: immediately after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 9 am; stage 3: two hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 11 am; stage 4: four hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 1 pm; and stage 5: six hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 3 pm. Data obtained from pollen germination and pollen tube growth study showed that pollen of P. colubrinum was the most viable at two hours after anther dehiscence and onward. It was also proved that the viability can be maintained up to at least eight hours. Pollen obtained before anther dehiscence by crushing on the anther was found less viable with lower percentage of pollen germination and retarded pollen tube growth. In other words, the experiment enlightened that artificial pollination between P. nigrum L. and P. colubrinum Link was ideally to be carded out approximately starting from 11 am until 5 pm, considering the viability of pollen ofP. colubrinum.展开更多

In the experiment, erect type peanut showed as most as five-order lateral roots with 13 227 pieces of lateral roots. At the seedling stage, the root system of erect type peanut was handstand cone-typed with lateral roots at various orders distributed around the taproot, and among the roots, the taproot was longest. During the late seedling stage to mature stage, the upper part of the root system of erect type peanut was blunt cone-typed, the middle part was three-dimensional network typed, while the lower part was cyUnder-like. The longest first-order lateral root was the longest root. At the mature stage, the taproot was not always the deepest root.展开更多

Five variants of N6 medium (N6-I, N6-2, N6-3, Mix-l, N6-4) were used as basal medium. Mean value of callus induction frequency on three types of conditions ranged from 5.68% to 9.44% and the difference was non-significantly. In general, callus derived from donor plants grown on condition of open space + growth chambers showed significantly better performances for plant regeneration (0.23 green regenerants on anther and 3.77 green regenerants on callus) and productive shoot regeneration (0.06 productive regenerants on anther and 0.56 productive regenerants on callus). Favourable conditions for donor plant growth in open space positively affect on callus induction and regenaration. It is possible to get assured results on many hybrids, but not the highest. In growth chamber, frequency of callus induction can be the maximal only on some samples, few hybrids are resulted in deficiency of callus induction.展开更多

文摘Effect of different shading levels (no-shading, 80% shading, and 40% shading) on photosynthetic and stomatal responses in cotton leaves were investigated under conditions of different soil water contents in summer midday. All cotton leaves exhibited similar basic responses to shading, including decreased net photosynthetic rates, a tendency to decrease in transpiration rates, and increased stomatal conductance and intercellular CO2 concentration. The leaf conductance of 80% shaded and 40% shaded plants increased by 28% and 16.7% compared with no-shaded plants at high water, respectively, but the net photosynthetic rates of 80% shaded and 40% shaded plants declined by 50% and 14.73%, respectively. Results showed that combined effect of soil moisture and shading on photosynthetic and stomatal responses in cotton leaves was very remarkable.

PP333,Het,CCC and B9 with different concentrations on growth and flowering of narcissus.The results indicated that the narcissus treated with certain concentration inhibitors could grow shorter plants with shorter scapes of flower and smaller leaves than the check, and the compact,straight and coordinate plants improve the decorative value obviously.
文摘Pollen viability study on Piper colubrinum Link. carried out to develop interspecific hybridization between P. nigrum L. and P. colubrinum Link.. This plant has good potential as a donor plant in breeding programme for Phytophthora to foot rot resistance in the cultivated species, P. nigrum. This project was carried out to reveal the optimum time to collect pollen of P. colubrinum for artificial pollination. Through this study, anther dehiscence was proved occurred around 9 am. Based on the result obtained from study on the time of anther dehiscence, the pollen was classified into five stages for testing on the viability, i.e., stage 1, before anther dehiscence, i.e., around 7 am (pollen obtained by crushing on the anther); stage 2: immediately after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 9 am; stage 3: two hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 11 am; stage 4: four hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 1 pm; and stage 5: six hours after anther dehiscence, i.e., around 3 pm. Data obtained from pollen germination and pollen tube growth study showed that pollen of P. colubrinum was the most viable at two hours after anther dehiscence and onward. It was also proved that the viability can be maintained up to at least eight hours. Pollen obtained before anther dehiscence by crushing on the anther was found less viable with lower percentage of pollen germination and retarded pollen tube growth. In other words, the experiment enlightened that artificial pollination between P. nigrum L. and P. colubrinum Link was ideally to be carded out approximately starting from 11 am until 5 pm, considering the viability of pollen ofP. colubrinum.
文摘The root morphology of erect type peanut in deep soil was studied in this paper. In the experiment, erect type peanut showed as most as five-order lateral roots with 13 227 pieces of lateral roots. At the seedling stage, the root system of erect type peanut was handstand cone-typed with lateral roots at various orders distributed around the taproot, and among the roots, the taproot was longest. During the late seedling stage to mature stage, the upper part of the root system of erect type peanut was blunt cone-typed, the middle part was three-dimensional network typed, while the lower part was cyUnder-like. The longest first-order lateral root was the longest root. At the mature stage, the taproot was not always the deepest root.
文摘The solar-driven catalytic conversion of CO2 to useful chemical fuels is regarded as an environmentally friendly approach to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels and mitigate the greenhouse effect.However,it is highly intriguing and challenging to promote the selectivity and efficiency of visible-light-responsive photocatalysts that favor the adsorption of CO2 in photoreduction processes.In this work,three-dimensional hierarchical Cd0.8Zn0.2S flowers(C8Z2S-F)with ultrathin petals were successfully synthesized through an in-situ self-assembly growth process using sodium citrate as a morphology director.The flower-like Cd0.8Zn0.2S solid solution exhibited remarkable photocatalytic performance in the reduction of CO2,generating CO up to 41.4μmol g^−1 under visible-light illumination for 3 h;this was nearly three times greater than that of Cd0.8Zn0.2S nanoparticles(C8Z2S-NP)(14.7μmol g^−1).Particularly,a comparably high selectivity of 89.9%for the conversion of CO2 to CO,with a turnover number of 39.6,was obtained from the solar-driven C8Z2S-F system in the absence of any co-catalyst or sacrificial agent.Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy indicated that the introduction of flower structures enhanced the light-harvesting capacity of C8Z2S-F.The in situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy unveiled the existence of surface-adsorbed species and the conversion of photoreduction intermediates during the photocatalytic process.Empirical characterizations and predictions of the photocatalytic mechanism demonstrated that the flower-like Cd0.8Zn0.2S solid solution possessed desirable CO2 adsorption properties and an enhanced charge-transfer capability,thus providing a highly effective photocatalytic reduction of CO2.

文摘L ethal temperature tolerance was determined for about 8 cm, age 0 Pseudosciaena crocea using both slow heating and rapid transfer protocol. The acclimatization temperature was 28 ℃ with summer season, lethal temperature ( LT50 value ) of slow heating protocol ( CTMax ) was 35.0 ℃, and the upper and lower incipient lethal temperatures of rapid transfer protocol were 34.2 ℃ and 17.5 ℃ respectively.
文摘An experiment was conducted to find the effect of three types of donor plants growing conditions (growth chamber, open space + growth chambers and open space) on callus induction and subsequent plant regeneration and productive shoot regeneration from the anthers culture in vitro of four rice hybrid (1-2, 2-1, 7-1, 13-3) developed by Primorsky Scientific Research Institute of Agriculture. Five variants of N6 medium (N6-I, N6-2, N6-3, Mix-l, N6-4) were used as basal medium. Mean value of callus induction frequency on three types of conditions ranged from 5.68% to 9.44% and the difference was non-significantly. In general, callus derived from donor plants grown on condition of open space + growth chambers showed significantly better performances for plant regeneration (0.23 green regenerants on anther and 3.77 green regenerants on callus) and productive shoot regeneration (0.06 productive regenerants on anther and 0.56 productive regenerants on callus). Favourable conditions for donor plant growth in open space positively affect on callus induction and regenaration. It is possible to get assured results on many hybrids, but not the highest. In growth chamber, frequency of callus induction can be the maximal only on some samples, few hybrids are resulted in deficiency of callus induction.
