Breeding and Application Process of a New Variety‘Dianyinhua 3’in Lonicera macranthoides Hand.-Mazz.

‘Dianyinhua 3’is bred through the selection of a good single variant plant based on Hunan Lonicerae Flos variety‘Xianglei 1’as the basic material.The scions of the variant plant were grafted and propagated with wild Lonicera macranthoides Hand.-Mazz.as rootstocks.This variety belongs to L.macaroides,which has the characteristics of early flowering,large and numerous buds,concentrated flowering and abundant yield.The content of chlorogenic acid is as high as 6%,and the content of luteolin is 0.017%.It matures from late May to early June in Yunnan.The buds are rod-shaped,slightly curved,4.6-5.8 cm long,with a diameter of 6.47 mm at the top and 2.68 mm at the bottom,and the petals have a thickness of 0.33 mm.The thousand-flower bud weight was 15.8-18.2 g,and the average yield of dried flowers per plant was 1360-1680 g in the peak period,and the yield was 4887 kg/hm^2.It is suitable for the introduction and trial planting in Xiangyang Mountainous Area or rocky desertification mountainous area in Yunnan,with an altitude lower than 2200 m or in areas with similar climates such as Sichuan,Guizhou and Guangxi.

American glabrous rice utilized in breeding of super-high-yielding and good-quality varieties

The yield potential of current rice varieties has reached a high plateau and fluc-tuated within a narrow range. Based on the theory and practice of rice breedingfor super-high-yield, we put forward a concept of " Two high and one early",which means high biomass and high efficiency of light energy conversion, as wellas fast growing in the early growth stage. The agronomic characters of 15 U. S

Key Points of Breeding and Cultivation Techniques of Wushan Crisp Plum,a New Cultivar of Green Crisp Plum

Wushan crisp plum is a new cultivar of green crisp plum with dignified fruit shape,crisp and tender flesh,pit separability and sweet taste.It is bred from natural bud mutant of Jiang'an Dabaili,a local green crisp plum cultivar by Wushan County Fruit Industry Development Center,Southwest University and Chongqing Agricultural Technology Extension Station.Wushan crisp plum has won the gold award in the National High-quality Plum and Apricot Appraise and Elect and the tile of"the king of fruit"in the"Three-Gorge Cup"High-quality Crisp Plum Appraise and Elect.In the southwestern region of China,the planting area of Wushan crisp plum has been extended to 33000 ha.The cultivar has strong robust and fast growth.In the area along the Yangtze River in the Three Gorges Reservoir area of Chongqing,it ripens from early to middle July.The fruit is ovoid and of medium size,with average longitudinal diameter of 3.3 cm,average horizontal diameter of 4.0 cm,average single fruit mass of 37.2 g,carpopodium length of 1.5 cm,and carpopodium diameter of 0.1 cm.The top of the fruit is slightly concave.The peel is green to green-yellow in background color and medium in thickness,with obvious fruit dots and thick white fruit wax.The flesh is light yellow,compact,short in fiber length,juicy,crisp,tender,pure and sweet,with soluble solids content of 12%-15%,titratable acid content of 0.43%-0.72%and vitamin C content of 6.12-8.99 mg/100 g.The pit is small,separable,and oblate.The percentage of edible flesh is up to 94.80%-96.88%.There is no obvious pre-harvest cracking and intra-fruit pectin.The cultivar is mid-ripening and high in yield.In the firm ripe stage,the flesh is crunchy;and after entering the soft ripe stage,the flesh becomes powdery,and the hardness decreases.At room temperature,the fruit is not resistant to storage and transportation.Wushan crisp plum is tolerant to the climate with high temperature,high humidity and less sunshine,with good adaptability.It is suitable for promoting in the upper reaches of Yangtze River within 180-1000 m elevation.

Breeding for multiresistant rice varieties

From 1977 to 1987, new rice varieties Xiangkang 32xuan 5, Xiangzaoxian 3 and HA79317—4 were bred. They had resistance to bacterial blight (BB), rice blast (BL), brown planthopper(BPH), whitebacked planthopper (WBPH), with high-yielding and good rice quality.
