The influence of Nitrogen Nutrition on Starch Accumulation in the Process of Tuber Development in Autumn Solanum tuberosum L.

Taking two varieties, high and low starch content respectively, as tested materials, experiments were conducted to study the effects of nitrogen fertilizer in different levels on tuber starch accumulation characteristics under autumn planting condition, and thus to provide technical support in optimized planting techniques of autumn potato. The results showed that during tuber development the changes in concentrations of total starch, amylopectin and amylose were ＂S＂ shaped curve un-der different nitrogen fertilizer treatments, in line with the Logistic equation Y=K/（1＋ae-bT）, but both starch accumulation intensity and the time reaching to maximum ac-cumulation intensity were not exactly the same in different nitrogen fertilizer levels so is it with different varieties. Furthermore, high starch concentration variety ‘XS-1’, the largest accumulation of strength of amylase was the lower in the middle fertil-ization and higher in low and high fertilization treatments. The contents of amy-lopectin, total starch were first increasing and then dropping with the amount of ni-trogen increasing. To low starch concentration variety ‘XS-2’, with nitrogen fertilizer content increase, the largest accumulation of strength was reducing in amylose, but was rising in amylopectin and changed from rising to fal ing in total starch. The time reaching to maximum accumulation strength in amylose and total starch changed from increasing to decreasing and amylopectin kept declining.

Study on Yield Potential of Autumn Potato/Rapeseed Intercropping System in Rice Field

In order to expIore the yield potential, regional adaptabiIity and key cuItiva-tion techniques of autumn potato/rapeseed intercropping system, and analyze its benefit performance and popuIarization value, the contrast experiments of Iarge re-gion were conducted in Yongchuan and Kalxian of Chongqing city from 2011 to 2012. The resuIts showed that the benefit increasing effect was significant because autumn potato/rapeseed intercropping patterns couId galn more one season potato in rice-rapeseed rotation area. The average yield of autumn potato and rapeseed in two test points were 13 567.35 and 2 663.25 kg/hm2 respectiveIy, and the total out-put value and net income reached to 38 773.05 yuan/hm2 and 15 772.5 yuan/hm2 respectiveIy, and cash income attalned 38 773.05 yuan/hm2, and net income reached 23 000.55 yuan/hm2, and the increased income was 17 221.8 yuan/hm2 and it increased by 310.3% comparing with rapeseed of soIe cropping. Therefore, the autumn potato/rapeseed intercropping in rice field is a new efficient cuItivation technique with very significant ecoIogical and economic benefit.

Comparative Study on Autumn Propagation Performances of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus in Poyang Lake

Preliminary comparative study was conducted on autumn propagation per- formances of Paramisgumus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. The count- able and measurable properties, fatness, mature coefficient, relative fecundity, as well as the fertilized and the hatching rates were measured. The results showed that there was no significant difference between the fatness of the two species （P〉0.05） and between the fatness of male and female Paramisgumus dabryanus （P〉0.05）, while significant difference existed between male and female Misgurnus anguillicauda- tus （0.01〈P〈0.05）; the mature coefficients of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus were of 6.56% and 11.36%, respectively; the relative fecundities of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus were of 115.70 eggs/g and 147.69 eggs/g, respectively; the fertilized rates of Paramisgurnus dabryanus and Mis- gurnus anguillicaudatus were of 90.62% and 97.52%, respectively; and the hatching rates of Paramisgumus dabryanus and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus were of 92.45% and 97.16%, respectively. It was concluded that Misgumus anguillicaudatus was bet- ter than Paramisgurnus dabryanus in breeding performance in autumn.

Effects of Fulvic Acid on Agronomic Traits and Yield of Autumn Potato

[Objective] This study was to investigate the effects of fulvic acid on agronomic traits and yield of autumn potato. [Method] The effects of fulvic acid on growth period, plant morphology, tuber, net photosynthetic rate, chlorophyll content, leaf area index （LAI） and yield of autumn potato were investigated. [Result] The application of fulvic acid prolonged the growth period and increased the plant height, stem diameter, leaf chlorophyll content, LAI, net photosynthetic rate, tuber number per plant, tuber weight per plant and marketable tuber rate of autumn potato, thus increasing the yield. Applying fulvic acid prolonged the growth period of autumn potato by 1-3 d and significantly increased the plant height, net photosynthetic rate, tuber weight per plant and yield of autumn potato （P〈0.05, P〈0.01）. When the application amount of compound fertilizer was reduced by half, applying fulvic acid almost showed the same seedling emergence stage, mature stage, growth period and net photosynthetic rate with applying full amount of compound fertilizer. In particular, no significant difference was found in the yield of autumn potato between fullamount and half-amount compound fertilizer treatment groups in the premise of solid- liquid fulvic acid combined application. [Conclusion] In the premise of unchanged yield, applying fulvic acid can reduce the application of chemical fertilizers and reduce the non-point source pollution of chemical fertilizers.

Interannual Variability of Autumn Precipitation over South China and its Relation to Atmospheric Circulation and SST Anomalies

The interannual variability of autumn precipitation over South China and its relationship with atmospheric circulation and SST anomalies are examined using the autumn precipitation data of 160 stations in China and the NCEP-NCAR reanalysis dataset from 1951 to 2004. Results indicate a strong interannual variability of autumn precipitation over South China and its positive correlation with the autumn western Pacific subtropical high （WPSH）. In the flood years, the WPSH ridge line lies over the south of South China and the strengthened ridge over North Asia triggers cold air to move southward. Furthermore, there exists a significantly anomalous updraft and cyclone with the northward stream strengthened at 850 hPa and a positive anomaly center of meridional moisture transport strengthening the northward warm and humid water transport over South China. These display the reverse feature in drought years. The autumn precipitation interannual variability over South China correlates positively with SST in the western Pacific and North Pacific, whereas a negative correlation occurs in the South Indian Ocean in July. The time of the strongest lag-correlation coefficients between SST and autumn precipitation over South China is about two months, implying that the SST of the three ocean areas in July might be one of the predictors for autumn precipitation interannual variability over South China. Discussion about the linkage among July SSTs in the western Pacific, the autumn WPSH and autumn precipitation over South China suggests that SST anomalies might contribute to autumn precipitation through its close relation to the autumn WPSH.

Relationship between gene expression and the accumulation of catechin during spring and autumn in tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.)

The tea plant(Camellia sinensis L.)is an important commercial crop with remarkably high catechin concentrations.Tea is popular worldwide given the plant's health benefits.Catechins are the main astringent substance in tea and are synthesized mainly via the phenylpropanoid pathway.In this study,eight cultivars of tea plants harvested both in spring and autumn were used to investigate differences in catechin concentrations by using high-performance liquid chromatography.The expression levels of genes associated with catechin biosynthesis were investigated using reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.The results indicated that the total catechin(TC)concentrations were significantly higher in tea plants harvested in autumn than in those harvested in spring,based on higher concentrations of epigallocatechin(EGC)in autumn tea(P<0.01).The expression of the genes phenylalanine ammonia-lyase(PAL),flavanone 3-hydroxylase(F3H),flavonoid 3′,5′-hydroxylase(F3′5′H),dihydroflavonol 4-reductase(DFR),and anthocyanidin synthase(ANS)is closely related to the TC content of tea plants in both spring and autumn.Positive correlations between PAL,cinnamate 4-hydroxylase(C4H),F3H,and DFR expression and EGC accumulation in autumn tea were identified,with correlation coefficients of 0.710,0.763,0.884,and 0.707,respectively.A negative correlation between ANS expression level and EGC concentrations in tea plants harvested in spring was noted(r=−0.732).Additionally,negative correlations between F3H and ANS expression levels and the catechin content were identified in spring tea,whereas the correlations were positive in autumn tea.Significant differences in the F3H and ANS expression levels between spring and autumn tea indicate that F3H and ANS are potentially key genes affecting catechin accumulation in tea plants.

Objective] The alm was to study the high-yield cuItivation technique of fodder soybean（Glycine max （L.） Merr.） in autumn idIe Iand. [Methods] Such five in-fIuencing factors as Iine spacing, pIanting density, nitrogen （N）, phosphorus （P） and potassium （K） of fodder soybean seeding in autumn idIe Iand were compared using orthogonal experiment method and LSD method of PASW 18 statistics software. [Results] The resuIts showed that density, Iine spacing and K2O had important ef-fects on bioIogical yield of fodder soybean in autumn idIe Iand. Moreover, the opti-mum proposal for high-yield matching cuItivation technique of fodder soybean in au-tumn idIe Iand was determined as foI ows： pIanting density was 75 ＆#215;104 pIants/hm2;300 kg/hm2 N, 112.5 kg/hm2 P2O5 and 375 kg/hm2 K2O were viewed as basic fertiIiz-ers; the seedIing styIe was sowing in driI with the Iine spacing of 50 cm. In the proposal, fresh and hay grass yields were 6 661.67 and 2 723.64 kg/hm2, respec-tiveIy, which increased by 24.17% and 27.63% respectiveIy compared to the second fine combination. [Conclusions] The resuIts provided a theoretical basis and technical support for the production of fodder soybean in autumn idIe Iand.

Observed characteristics of atmospheric ducts over the South China Sea in autumn

The observed characteristics of lower atmospheric ducts over the South China Sea(SCS) were analyzed based on Global Position Systerm(GPS) radiosonde data collected four times daily during autumn open cruises from 2006 to 2012.Duct occurrence,thickness,and strength over the SCS were about 40%,150-m thick,and 8 M units,respectively,which were larger than during the summer monsoon period.Most ducts occurred at heights <1 500 m and these ducts easily trap electromagnetic wave clusters with wavelengths <2 m.Diurnal variation of the SCS ducts appeared evident.They occurred more often at midnight at higher altitudes(about 1 100 m),with a thickest layer of about 145 m and less frequently during the evening at lower altitudes(about 800 m),with a thinnest layer of about 125 m.Moreover,ducts during the daytime at a mean height of about 900 m,with the greatest strength of about 10 M units.Furthermore,all duct variables observed over the SCS in autumn decreased from north to south.These findings are useful not only in the design of radar and communication systems,but also for evaluating possible effects of anomalous propagation on meteorological radar and military applications.

Environmental Parameters of Broiler House with Three overlap Cages in Winter and Autumn

[Objective]The study was to monitor the indoor environmental parameters of broiler house with three-overlap cages and analyze the differences in winter and autumn. [Method] In the process of feeding,the same broiler house in the same farm was chosen to determine indoor ambient temperature,humidity and air quality at 3-6 weeks age of broilers in different seasons. The measure points were distributed in four different positions in the house. [Result] There was no significant difference in ambient temperature between autumn and winter( P > 0. 05). The ambient temperature in the house in winter was slightly higher than that in autumn. The humidity in autumn was significantly higher than that in winter( P < 0. 05). The temperature and humidity in two seasons could meet the requirements of broiler growth. There was no significant difference( P > 0. 05) in ammonia concentration between autumn and winter,while ammonia concentration in winter was slightly higher than that in autumn. The carbon dioxide concentration of broiler house in winter was significantly higher than that in autumn( P < 0. 05).The total number of airborne bacteria in winter was significantly higher than that in autumn( P < 0. 05). [Conclusion]The indoor temperature kept constant in autumn and winter seasons in closed poultry house. In winter,the humidity was reduced,the carbon dioxide concentration was increased,and the total number of bacteria in the air was increased. The ventilation in winter should be increased in case of heat preservation.

ASIAN-PACIFIC OSCILLATION IN AUTUMN AND ITS RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE SUBTROPICAL MONSOON IN EAST ASIA

Based on the 1961-2010 NCEP/NCAR reanalysis, this work uses empirical orthogonal function(EOF) and composite analysis to study the distributions of zonal land-sea thermal contrast between Asia and the Pacific during transitions from the summer monsoon to the winter monsoon in East Asian subtropics, and investigates the interannual variations of the thermal contrast and their relationships with circulation systems over the East Asian subtropics. The findings are as follows. 1) In autumn, the interannual variations of the temperature deviation in the middle and upper troposphere show significant east-west out-of-phase teleconnection over Asia and the central and eastern Pacific, i.e. the Asian-Pacific Oscillation, or APO. 2) While not as significant as in summer with regard to coverage and intensity, the APO shows interannual variations in autumn that well depicts the change in the intensity of the subtropical monsoon. In the high(low) APO year, the current subtropical summer monsoon is strong(weak) and the winter monsoon is weak(strong) in East Asia as derived from the general circulation and wind field of the East Asian-Pacific region.

EFFECTS OF AEROSOLS ON AUTUMN PRECIPITATION OVER MID-EASTERN CHINA

Long-term observational data indicated a decreasing trend for the amount of autumn precipitation(i.e. 54.3 mm per decade) over Mid-Eastern China, especially after the 1980s(~ 5.6% per decade). To examine the cause of the decreasing trend, the mechanisms associated with the change of autumn precipitation were investigated from the perspective of water vapor transportation, atmospheric stability and cloud microphysics. Results show that the decrease of convective available potential energy(i.e. 12.81 J kg-1/ decade) and change of cloud microphysics, which were closely related to the increase of aerosol loading during the past twenty years, were the two primary factors responsible for the decrease of autumn precipitation. Our results showed that increased aerosol could enhance the atmospheric stability thus weaken the convection. Meanwhile, more aerosols also led to a significant decline of raindrop concentration and to a delay of raindrop formation because of smaller size of cloud droplets. Thus, increased aerosols produced by air pollution could be one of the major reasons for the decrease of autumn precipitation. Furthermore, we found that the aerosol effects on precipitation in autumn was more significant than in other seasons, partly due to relatively more stable synoptic systems in autumn. The impact of large-scale circulation dominant in autumn and the dynamic influence on precipitation was more important than the thermodynamic activity.

Autumn Snow Cover Variability over Northern Eurasia and Roles of Atmospheric Circulation

This study analyzes the variability of northern Eurasian snow cover（SC） in autumn and the impacts of atmospheric circulation changes. The region of large SC variability displays a southward shift from September to November, following the seasonal progression of the transition zones of surface air temperature（SAT）. The dominant pattern of SC variability in September and October features a zonal distribution, and that in November displays an obvious west-east contrast. Surface air cooling and snowfall increase are two factors for larger SC. The relative contribution of SAT and snowfall changes to SC, however, varies with the region and depends upon the season. The downward longwave radiation and atmospheric heat advection play important roles in SAT changes. Anomalous convergence of water vapor flux contributes to enhanced snowfall.The changes in downward longwave radiation are associated with those in atmospheric water content and column thickness.Changes in snowfall and the transport of atmospheric moisture determine the atmospheric moisture content in September and October, and the snowfall appears to be a main factor for atmospheric moisture change in November. These results indicate that atmospheric circulation changes play an important role in snow variability over northern Eurasia in autumn. Overall, the coupling between autumn Eurasian snow and atmospheric circulation may not be driven by external forcing.
