Color Expression and Mood Creation in Imagery Oil Painting

Oil painting is a traditional Western painting form.With the introduction of China and the influence of China’s traditional painting and aesthetics,the painting style became more distinctive,expanding a new development direction of oil painting,and thus imagery oil painting came into being.Color,as the most important element in imagery oil painting,mainly plays the role of mood creation and emotional expression.Many creators are good at injecting their thoughts and emotions into the paintings through color matching,so as to enhance the artistic expression of the paintings.This paper analyzes the color expression characteristics of imagery oil painting and explores the color expression techniques in imagery oil painting and mood creation of imagery oil painting from several aspects.

Flavonoid content and expression analysis of flavonoid biosynthetic genes in herbaceous peony(Paeonia lactiflora Pall.)with double colors

Herbaceous peony（Paeonia lactiflora Pall.） is a famous flower with medicinal values, and its flowers have a number of medicinal constituents, especially flavonoids. In this study, a P. lactiflora cultivar with double colors including white outer-petal and yellow inner-petal was used as the experimental materials to perform the qualitative and quantitative analysis of flavonoids by high-performance liquid chromatograph-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry（HPLC-ESI-MSn） and investigate the expression patterns of flavonoid biosynthetic genes using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction（Q-PCR）. The results showed that the colors of both petals gradually weakened with flower development. Moreover, one main anthocyanin composition（peonidin 3,5-di-O-glucoside） and five main anthoxanthin compositions（kaempferol di-hexoside, kaempferol-3-O-malonylglucoside-7-O-glucoside, quercetin-3-O-galactoside, luteolin-7-O-glucoside and isorhamnetin-3-O-glucoside） were found in the both, differing significantly in their peak areas only. Total anthocyanin, anthoxanthin and flavonoid contents in white outer-petal and yellow inner-petal gradually decreased during flower development, and were consistently higher in white outer-petal. Furthermore, the expression patterns of nine structural genes in P. lactiflora flavonoid biosynthetic pathway showed that the expression levels of phenylalanine ammonialyase gene（Pl PAL）, chalcone synthase gene（PlC HS）, flavanone 3-hydroxylase gene（PlF 3H）, anthocyanidin synthase gene（PlA NS） and UDP-glucoside： flavonoid 5-O-glucosyltransferase gene（Pl F5GT） in two petals basically presented declined tendencies, and transcription levels of Pl PAL, Pl CHS, Pl ANS, Pl F3 GT and Pl F5 GT also tended to be higher in white outer-petal, which was correlated with their flavonoid contents. These results would lay a solid foundation for the exploration and utilization of flavonoid resources in P. lactiflora flowers.

Effect of ploidy level on expression of lycopene biosynthesis genes and accumulation of phytohormones during watermelon(Citrullus lanatus) fruit development and ripening

The difference between lycopene and phytohormone levels among diploid, triploid and tetraploid plants of two watermelon cultivars during fruit growth and ripening was studied. The expression pattern of five genes（phytoene synthase（PSY1）, phytoene desaturase（PDS）, ζ-carotene desaturase（ZDS）, carotenoid isomerase（CRTISO）, and lycopene β-cyclase（LCYB）） was analyzed in details. In red-fleshed cultivar Mimei, lycopene content increased rapidly from 25 to 35 days after pollination（DAP）, and then decreased at 40 DAP. Triploid and tetraploid fruit had higher levels of lycopene than diploid. Moreover, triploid tended to contain more lycopene than tetraploid during fruit growth and ripening stages. However, little amount of lycopene（0–2 mg kg–1 fresh weight（FW）） in yellow-fleshed cultivar Huangmei was found during all fruit development stages. In Mimei, transcript level of PSY1 was generally higher than the other four genes, and LCYB gene expression was the lowest among all five genes being tested. PSY1, CRTISO and LCYB genes showed higher transcript levels in polyploid than in diploid fruit. By contrast, in Huangmei, transcript level of LCYB was not the lowest, but only lower than that of PSY1. PSY1, CRTISO and LCYB genes showed higher expression levels in diploid than in polyploid fruit. In Mimei, the negative correlation between gibberellane（GA） content and lycopene accumulation was determined in all three different ploidy fruits, while a positive correlation was observed between abscisic acid（ABA） content and lycopene accumulation only in diploid watermelon. These results indicated that different lycopene contents in different ploidy watermelons is regulated by the differential transcription expression of the lycopene metabolic genes and phytohormones.

Color Expression of Architectural Emotion Language from the Perspective of Public Art

Against the background of "architecturalization" of public art, the significance of architectural color design lies not only in the visual element of architectural environment, but also in the emotion expression of city culture and spirit of the time. Architectural colors should be constructed from the 6 aspects, namely, conveying city spirit, coordinating the environment, showing regional characteristics, reflecting public concept, obtaining public sympathy, combining cultural connotations of color and functions of space. Moreover, the impact of regional culture on architectural color should be properly handled, the emotions of architecture for the city reflected on the surface of architecture, which can reverse the convergence of city images to some extent, and promote the diversity of regional humanistic architectural landscapes.

Genetics and Expression of the Brown Lint Gene in Colored Cotton

The major cotton grown commercially in the world is white lint,but recently many people prefer to have garments made by natural colored cotton.This can be used directly in textile industries,avoiding the complicated and unsafe processes of bleaching and dying,and thus it is eco-friendly.However,little is known about the heredity of the colored lint gene in colored cotton.In the present study,
