[Method] In the nutrient solutions for growing B. campestris by hydroponics, boric acid and manganese sulfate were added at 0.5, 2.5, and 7.5 mg/L respectively. Another treatment without boron and manganese was prepared as the control. Quality and physiological indices of B. campestris in the 10 treatments were measured. [Result] Boron and manganese shared obvious in-teraction in improving the quality and physiological indices of B. campestris. To cul-tivate B. campestris with high quality and strong resistance, the optimum concentra-tions of boron and manganese in the nutrient solution should be 2.5 mg/L boric acid and 2.5-7.5 mg/L manganese sulfate. [Conclusion] The findings wil provide refer-ence for studying effects of trace elements on nutrient composition of vegetables.展开更多

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of N (5, 10, and 20 mmol L-a, denoted by N5, N10 and N20) and S (0,5, 1, and 2 mmol L^-1, denoted by S0.5, S1 and S2) on the yield and GSs in pakchoi (Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. communis) in hydroponics. Results showed that N10 and N20 significantly enhanced the yield compared with N5, however, N20 had a negative effect relative to N10. Only with N10 and N20 low S supply (S0.5) reduced the yield. The concentrations of aliphatic GSs, aromatic GS and total GSs were enhanced by N5 and indolyl GSs were enhanced by N20. S2 enhanced the concentration of individual GS and total GSs. The concentrations of indolyl GSs were maximized in N20S2 treatment, whereas the highest concentrations of aliphatic GSs, aromatic GS and total GSs were found in N5S2 treatment. Effects of N and S on aliphatic GSs were higher than on indolyl GSs. The results suggest that the accumulation of aliphatic GSs and aromatic GS could be enhanced by low N and high S and restricted by high N while that of indolyl GSs could be enhanced by high N and high S.展开更多

Results showed that there was significant difference between content of the endogenous hormones in leaves and floral buds. GA3 contents in leaves of the transgenic plantlets of B. campestris L. ssp. chinensis Makino cv. Shanghai-qing and cv. Youqing were reduced by 31. 72 and 46. 88% respectively as compared with those of their controls, and GA3 contents in floral buds of them were reduced by 62. 92 and 80. 57 % respectively. In addition, ZT contents in leaves of cv. Shanghai-qing and cv. Youqing were reduced by 11. 81 and 181. 20% respectively as compared with those of their controls and those in floral buds were reduced by 105. 94 and 128.75 % respectively. But, ABA content in transgenic plantlets was significantly higher than that in non-transgenic plantlets. However, differences among respiratory rate and cyanide-resistant respiratory rate, the photosynthesic rate and the content of total flavones in floral buds were not significant. In this study, the results indicated that the gene CYP86MF might be one of the key functional genes to control fertility of Chinese cabbage.展开更多

Twenty-eight-day-old B. campestris plants sprayed with 10 mmol L^-1 H2O2 aqueous solution (corresponding to approximate 1.0 mg H2O2 per single plant) were exposed to different concentrations of NO2 (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, and 2.0 μL L^-1, respectively) for 24 h under controlled environment. To measure the plant biomass, the plants were fumigated with the same NO2 concentrations as mentioned above for 7 h per day (8.00-15.00) for 7 days. As a control, charcoal filtered air alone was applied. Data were collected on plant biomass, total chlorophyll, photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance, nitrate and nitrate reductase (NR), antioxidative enzymes, ascorbate (ASA), and malondialdehyde (MDA), immediately after exposure. The results showed that exposure to a moderate dose of NO2 (e.g., 0.25 μL L^-1) had a favorable effect on plants, and the dry weight of the above-ground part increased, whereas the exposure to high NO2 concentrations (e.g., 0.5 μL L^-1 or higher) caused a reduction in the plant biomass and the total chlorophyll, when compared with the control. In addition, at 0.5 μL L^-1 or higher NO2 concentrations, prominent increases in the MDA level and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and NR activities were observed. Exposure to 1 μL L^-1 and higher NO2 resulted in necroses appearing on older leaves, and an increase in catalase (CAT) activity, decrease in ASA content, increased accumulation of NO3^-, and reduction in photosynthesis, when compared with the controls. No changes were detected in stomatal conductance under NO2 fumigation. The pretreatment with 10 mmol L^-1 H2O2 alleviated significantly NO2- caused biomass decrease and photosynthetic inhibition when compared with H2O2-untreated plants. Under NO2 fumigation, further induction in SOD and CAT activities occurred in H2O2 treated plants when compared with H2O2- untreated plants. The effect of NO2 on the ASA and MDA contents was also absent in H2O2-treated plants. However, the H2O2 treatment did not alter the nitrate content and NR activity in plants under NO2 fumigation. The H2O2 treatment caused a lower rate of stomatal conductance. Taken together, these data suggest that fumigation with an acute level of NO2 causes oxidative damage to B. campestris seedlings. The H2O2 pretreatment markedly protects plants against NO2 stress and this may be associated with inducible antioxidative level. NO2 fumigation contributes, at least in part, to the enhanced levels of nitrate in B. campestris leaves.展开更多

[Method] SSR analysis of 45 purple tsai-tai samples was conducted with 65 pairs of primers selected from cabbage primers, and the cluster analysis was carried out. [Result] A total of 23 pairs of SSR primers were screened; cluster analysis showed that the genetic relationship of purple tsai-tai germplasms had relatively significantly locality, and the 45 purple tsaitai samples can be divided into three groups of Sichuan, Hunan and Hubei; furthermore, the similarity coefficients of 45 purple tsai-tai samples were all greater than 0.5 (ranging from 0.547 0 to 0.910 7), indicating that the closer the genetic relationship among purple tsai-tai samples is, the narrower the genetic basis will be. [Conclusion] This study provides a theoretical and technical basis for the identification, protection and breeding of the resources of local varieties of seaweed sprouts. This study provided theoretical and technical basis for the identification, protection, breeding and utilization of local purple tsai-tai resource.展开更多

Makinovar. communis Tsen et Lee]. The results showed that the developmental stage of floral bud, theconcentrations of sucrose and surfactant Silwet L-77 were critical for the successfultransformation by this new method. The suitable bud size is 2-3 mm in length, the favorableconcentration of sucrose and surfactant Silwet L-77 are 8 and 0.02% respectively. When thesucrose concentration was greater than 10% or that of Silwet L-77 was above 0.1%, the treatedbuds became yellow and finally blighted. 4/6 T1 seedlings resistant to kanamycin were positiveby PCR analysis, and T2 progeny of all these positive T1 plants have one or more hybridizingbands by Southern blot. Under 5% sucrose, 0.02% Silwet L-77 and grade 2 bud (2-3 mm in itslength) parameters, the most favorable transformation efficiency is about 0.56%, and meanefficiency reaches 0.16% in all experiments indicating that bud microinjection is potentialtransformation way in non-head Chinese cabbage.展开更多

The results showed that not bloomed flower buds with higher styles than petals were appropriate for anther cul- ture. Moreover, most microspores were at the mid-late uninucleate stage at that time. The pollen germination rates of Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. u- tills were low and the germination rates in autumn and winter were higher than that in summer. The induction medium of anther callus of Brassica campestris L. ssp. chinensis var. utilis was MS+1.0 mg/L KT+1.0 mg/L 2, 4-D+3% sugar+6 g/L agar+ 8% coconut milk and the induction media of adventitious bud were MS+2.0 mg/L 6-BA+ 0.5 mg/L NAA+I.0 g/L activated carbon+2% sugar+6 g/L agar or MS+2.0 mg/L ZT+ 0.5 mg/L IAA+0.5 g/L AgNO3+1.0 g/L activated carbon+2% sugar+6 g/L agar. The induction percentage of adventitious bud by anther culture was 36.7%. Browning phenomenon appeared during the culture of adventitious bud and regeneration plant could not be formed. The plant regeneration rate reached 80% when cotyledon- cotyledonary petioles were used as explant.展开更多
