Selection and Breeding of Drought Resistant,Water-saving and High-yield Wheat Variety Cangmai 028

Cangmai 028 was selected and bred according to the climatic characteristic of the winter wheat in Heilonggang Basin taking 98(083)as the female parent and the Canghe 030 as the male parent by "two-row parallel alternate selection" method.Cangmai 028 has characteristics of high resistance,water-saving,high and stable yield,and rich genetic background.This study elaborated selection and breeding background and methods,characteristics,quality,and yield of Cangmai 028.

Effects of Different Water Treatment on Yield and Agronomic Traits of Wheat

In order to make clear the effects of water on yield and agronomic traits of wheat in Cangzhou,18 wheat cultivars from north part of Huanghuai Plain were collected for spring irrigation. The indoor and field surveys were used to analyze the effects of irrigation frequency on stem tiller situation,leaf area coefficient,yield and other traits of different wheat cultivars. The results indicated that the average yield of irrigation 1 increased by 68. 07 kg compared with that of irrigation 0,while the average yield of irrigation 2 increased by 60. 00 kg compared with that of irrigation 1. The survey of flag leaf area of wheat cultivars at the grain filling stage showed that the leaf area of irrigation 0 was the smallest( 18. 15 cm^2 on average),the leaf area of irrigation 1 was 20. 34 cm^2,and the leaf area of irrigation 2 was 24. 05 cm^2. With the increase in the irrigation times,the volume weight of wheat cultivars declined,the number of infertile spikelet dropped,and the plant height gradually increased. In conclusion,every decrease of one time of irrigation times,there will be loss of yield about 60. 00 kg.

Different responses of soil fauna gut and plant rhizosphere microbiomes to manure applications

Microbial attributes were compared between soil fauna gut and plant rhizosphere.•Manure applications decreased or increased gut or rhizosphere bacterial diversity.•Stochastic or deterministic processes drove gut or rhizosphere bacterial assembly.•Manure applications increased bacterial network complexity of gut and rhizosphere.Diverse microbes inhabit animals and plants,helping their hosts perform multiple functions in agricultural ecosystems.However,the responses of soil fauna gut and plant rhizosphere microbiomes to livestock manure applications are still not well understood.Here we fed Protaetia brevitarsis larvae(PBL)with chicken manure and collected their frass.The frass and manure were applied as fertilizers to lettuce pots.We then compared the changes of microbial diversity,community assembly,and potential functions between the gut group(i.e.,all PBL gut and frass samples)and the rhizosphere group(i.e.,all rhizosphere soil samples).We revealed that manure applications(i.e.,feeding or fertilization)decreased bacterial diversity in the gut group but increased that in the rhizosphere group.Particularly,the proportions of Bacilli in the gut group and Gammaproteobacteria in the rhizosphere group were increased(up to a maximum of 33.8%and 20.4%,respectively)after manure applications.Stochastic and deterministic processes dominated community assembly in the gut and rhizosphere microbiomes,respectively.Manure applications increased the microbial co-occurrence network complexity of both the gut and rhizosphere groups.Moreover,the proportions of functional taxa associated with human/animal pathogens in the gut group and carbon/nitrogen cycling in the rhizosphere group were enhanced(up to 2.6-fold and 24.6-fold,respectively).Our findings illustrate the different responses of microbial diversity,community assembly,and potential functions in soil fauna gut and plant rhizosphere to manure applications.The results could enhance our knowledge on the reasonable utilization of animal and plant microbiomes in agricultural management.

Then,from balanced fertilizer application,applying slow/controlled release fertilizer,deep application of nitrogen fertilizers and graded application,controlled application amount,selection of application time according to soil properties,diagnosed application of fertilizer with instrument,addition of synergist,and precise fertilizer application,it summarized biological nitrogen saving methods and introduced prospects of future biological nitrogen saving technology.

Variation of B Chromosome Associated with Tissue Culture in Wheat-rye Cross

In vitro variation of B chromosomes was studied by examining the callus cells derived from the immature embryos from a cross of Chinese Spring wheat （Triticum aestivum L.） and Fin 7416 rye （Secale cereale L.） carrying two B chromosomes. In 40-d-old callus cells, the numbers of B chromosomes ranged from one to four in 65.6% of the cells observed. The distribution of B chromosome numbers was associated with the ploidy levels of the normal chromosomes （A chromosomes）. The frequency of the cells with high numbers of B chromosomes （i.e., three or four B chromosomes） in the amphiploid cells with 56 A chromosomes was greater than those in the haploid cells with 28 A chromosomes. Although structural changes in the rye A chromosomes were observed, cytological observation and genomic in situ hybridization demonstrated that the rye B chromosomes were conserved in morphological appearance following tissue culture.
