    Chitinase is a kind of glycosyl hydrolases (GH) which hydrolyzes the chitin and other polymers. Chitinase plays an important function in the plant growth and development, as well as in the resistant process to diverse stresses. However, the tissue expression patterns and responses to diverse stresses of chitinase genes in soybean are still unclear, which seriously limited its application in genetic improvement. In this study, the chitinase family genes were identified in the wild soybean (Glycine soja Sieb. and Zucc.) and cultivated soybean (Glycine max(L.)Merr.), and the expression patterns were also analyzed. The results showed that 62 and 55 chitinase genes were identified in the wild soybean and cultivated soybean, which located on 17 and 18 chromosomes, respectively. The phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the chitinase genes were divided into five categories, with Class III and Class V belonging to the GH18 subfamily, while Class I, Class II and Class IV belonging to the GH19 subfamily. Further analysis found many cis-acting elements in the promoter regions of chitinase genes responding to various plant hormones and stresses.Further gene expression analyses in cultivated soybean showed that the chitinase genes presented differential expressions in different tissues and under different stress conditions. Among these genes, Gm.01G142400 and Gm.13G346700 were strongly induced in the leaves of resistant variety after soybean mosaic virus inoculation, Gm.03G254300 and Gm.20G164600 were induced in soybean roots after low phosphorus treatment, and Gm.08G259200 and Gm.19G245400 were induced in soybean nodules under low phosphorus condition. Gene expression analysis in wild soybean showed that the chitinase genes presented differential expressions in different tissues and after salt stress, among which Gs.02G002604 and Gs.02G002940 were highly induced in the leaves of tolerant variety after salt treatment. These results provide important references for further utilizing the chitinase genes in soybean genetic improvement.

    【Objective】To develop high-yielding and FHB-resistant wheat cultivars in the Yellow and Huai River Valley Winter Wheat Zone (YHWZ), simultaneously improving of yield and resistance was conducted in this study.【Method】Using the elite parent dwarf male sterile (DMS) wheat combined with double haploid (DH) technology and molecular marker assisted selection (MAS) of Fhb1 (DMS wheat molecular breeding strategy), DH lines were developed using Sumai 3 as a donor (FHB- resistant parent) and Zhoumai 16’s DMS wheat, Zhoumai 16, Lunxuan 136 and Lunxuan 6 as recipient parents. The agronomic traits (plant height, heading date, yield, etc.) and FHB resistance were evaluated for these DH lines.【Result】A total of 51 Fhb1-DH lines characterized by facultative growth habit, semi-dwarf and white grains were selected using this strategy. The average number of infected spikelets of 51 lines were 5.7 and 7.3 at the 2020Henan and 2020Beijing sites, respectively, and average disease severities were 27.7% and 35.2%, which is not different from moderately susceptible control Huaimai 20. There was no significant difference in grain yield per hm2 between the mean performance of the 51 lines and the control Zhoumai 18. DH116 (Lunxuan 20), a promising line from the 51 lines, was further evaluated for FHB resistance and agronomic traits in multiple environments. The resistance of Lunxuan 20 to FHB was significantly improved, and no significant difference was found in the number of infected spikelets or disease severity between Lunxuan 20 and moderately or highly resistant controls at four sites. Lunxuan 20 showed slightly greater grain yield per hm2, and significantly higher number of spikelets per spike and thousand grain weight (P<0.05), earlier heading date and shorter plant height (P<0.05) than the control Zhoumai 18 in two environments. The grain yield per hm2 of Lunxuan 20 was 4.6% and 1.7% higher than the control cultivar Bainong 207 in the two list trials of Henan Province, and 3.5% higher than Bainong 207 in the demonstration trial. Resistance of Lunxuan 20 to FHB ranged from moderate susceptibility to moderate resistance in two-year list tests using the single-floret injection and spray inoculation methods. Lunxuan 20 carries the semi-dwarfing gene Rht-D1b at the Rht-D1 locus, and the recessive alleles vrn-A1, vrn-B1 and vrn-D1 associated with the winter growth habit at the Vrn-A1, Vrn-B1 and Vrn-D1 loci. Based on the wheat 660K single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), 64.7% of the SNPs were shared by Lunxuan 20 and its parents, and the direct genetic contributions of Zhoumai 16, Lunxuan 136, Lunxuan 6 and Sumai 3 to Lunxuan 20 were 69.8%, 12.6%, 6.1% and 11.5%, respectively.【Conclusion】A high-yielding and FHB-resistant wheat cultivar Lunxuan 20 was bred using the DMS wheat molecular breeding strategy.

    In order to promote the green and high-quality development of agriculture, improve land use efficiency, and increase farmers’ income, the cultivation model of watermelon-rice-green manure was integrated. The key cultivation techniques and benefits of this model were summarized and analyzed. Using the technique of small arch shed cultivation, watermelons were selected from early and middle maturing and high-quality varieties. Watermelons were planted in early April and harvested in June. When the garden was closed, healthy vines were left in the field as organic fertilizer for rice. High-yield and high-quality mid season rice varieties were selected for rice cultivation, with soft disk seedling cultivation, machine insertion at the end of June, and harvesting at the end of October. 15-20 days before harvesting, sprinkle milk vetch seeds as green manure. During the growth period of green manure, pay attention to drainage and flood prevention. In March of the following year, plow and return to the field. This model improves the annual benefits of farmland while stabilizing rice production, promotes the sustainable development of watermelon and rice industries, and effectively reduces the occurrence of field diseases and pests, achieving the effect of weight loss and drug reduction. It is conducive to the stable and high-yield of watermelon and rice, and the economic and ecological benefits are improved.

    In order to screen suitable substrates for cultivation of banana tissue culture seedlings, research on cultivation substrates using biochar as the main material was carried out. Statistical methods were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. In this study, a series of biochar by volume (2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50%) and iron powder were added to coconut coir and then were used to plant the banana tissue culture seedlings. Potting trials were conducted in 2022 at the trial base of the Institute of Agricultural Resources and Environment, Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Factors including the changes of matrix traits, plant growth and development, and NPK nutritional status during the seedling growth were monitored in order to screen out the proportion of biochar added to coconut coir. The results showed that the addition of biochar had no significant effect on most of the properties of coconut bran, but the addition of iron powder significantly reduced the content of the matrix available phosphorus. When the volume ratio of biochar added into coco coir was less than 20%, the dry matter of stems of banana seedlings significantly increased by 3.5%-193.8% and roots of banana seedlings significantly increased by 22.2%-39.8%, and the nitrogen and potassium content of seedlings significantly increased by 5.0%-182.9% (except for B10I) and 7.1%-178.1%, which might indicate that the addition of biochar improved the nitrogen and potassium nutrition of banana tissue culture seedlings. However, adding more than 20% biochar in coconut coir inhibited the growth of banana seedlings though no significant effect on the properties of the substrate was detected. Furthermore, adding iron powder together with biochar into coconut coir greatly reduced the content of available phosphorus in the substrate and thereby inhibited the growth of the plant. In conclusion, the addition of 2%-10% volume ratio of biochar in coconut coir was suitable for the cultivation of banana tissue culture seedlings, and had a broad application prospect.

    The paper aims to explore the possibility of maximizing various functions of Canna glauca by different cultivation methods. This study took C. glauca as the research object and simulated a growth environment similar to in situ as the control, established seven different cultivation methods including control, soil+ nutrient solution, soil+ water, substrate+ nutrient solution, substrate+ water, nutrient solution, and water. Seedlings were prepared by seed germination method, and were cultivated and managed artificially for 6 months. Plant vegetative growth (plant height, root length, tiller number, and leaf number of the highest tiller), reproductive growth (inflorescence number, ornamental period of inflorescence, numbers of mature capsule and seed), and the accumulation and allocation patterns of primary production among different plant organs (total plant production, aboveground production, underground production, production of reproductive organs) were investigated. The investigated data showed that all the data mentioned above reached their maximum or highest value with the cultivation method of nutrient solution, respectively reached their secondary maximum or highest value with the cultivation method of substrate + nutrient solution, and all respectively decreased to their minimum or lowest value with the cultivation method of water, in which the growth of C. glauca was the weakest and even the phenomenon of necrosis of growth points at the stem tip occurred in the later experimental stage. The results of data analyses showed that all the investigated data mentioned above increased and reached the significant level with the cultivation method of nutrient solution and decreased and reached the statistically significant level with the cultivation method of water than those in control. This study demonstrates that the cultivation method of nutrient solution not only satisfies the hydroponic nature of C. glauca, but also provides all the sufficient and balanced nutrient elements, which is most suitable for the growth of C. glauca. It is the preferred cultivation method for C. glauca as fresh cut flowers and potted flowers in the future.

    To address the issue of differences in the quality formation of cultivated Scabiosa tschiliensis, wild and cultivated S. tschiliensis were used as experimental materials. Ultra high performance liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry were used to analyze the content of metabolites in the medicinal parts of wild and cultivated S. tschiliensis. The results showed that the content of the main bioactive compounds in wild S. tschiliensis was significantly higher than that in cultivated S. tschiliensis. The metabolites in the inflorescence of wild S. tschiliensis were different from those in cultivated S. tschiliensis. The content of some important amino acids related to abiotic stress (drought and salinity) was significantly higher in wild S. tschiliensis. The content of upstream compounds in phenylalanine and flavonoid synthesis in cultivated S. tschiliensis is higher, indicating that the initial stage of synthesis of secondary metabolites may be different.

    The current distribution of zinc content in farmland soil, the impact of zinc on the nutritional quality of wheat grains, the absorption and accumulation characteristics of zinc by wheat, and the ways to enhance zinc nutrition in wheat grains were summarized and analyzed. The distribution pattern of zinc content in soil was closely related to topography, geological structure, and ecological environment. In some wheat producing areas, the zinc content in soil is relatively low. Zinc is an important trace element that affects the starch and protein content of wheat grains. It was generally absorbed by plant roots and transported to the aboveground part under pressure or transpiration, or horizontally transported to the phloem, where it was transported upwards or downwards and then transported to various tissues and organs. The ways to enhance zinc in wheat include genetic improvement breeding, agronomic improvement, and application biotechnology. The research results provide some new ideas for zinc-rich wheat breeding.

    To investigate the effects of sheltered rain-avoiding cultivation on the growth, hormones, and yield of chili pepper ‘Sichuan 20’ in the Sichuan basin, and clarify the influencing mechanism, we set up sheltered rain-avoiding cultivation treatment and field control treatment, measured the height of chili pepper plants and the content of endogenous hormones in the apical tissues of chili pepper plants in the two treatments, and conducted transcriptome sequencing and qRT-PCR validation of related genes. The results showed that there was no significant difference in chili pepper plant height in the early period of sheltered rain-avoiding cultivation, and the plant height in the middle and late periods of sheltered rain-avoiding cultivation was 1.13 and 1.5 times that of the field control treatment, respectively. The yield per plant in the sheltered rain-avoiding cultivation treatment was 74.9% of that in the field control treatment. After sheltered rain-avoiding cultivation, the content of gibberellin was 1.29 times that of the field control treatment, and the content of jasmonic acid was 63.3% of that of the field control treatment. GO analysis showed that the two treatments were significantly enriched in biological functions related to stress response and defense response and were significantly enriched in molecular functions related to adenosine nucleotide binding, adenosine diphosphate binding, and guanosine diphosphate binding. KEGG pathway analysis showed that compared with the sheltered rain-avoiding cultivation treatment, the field control treatment of chili pepper in the sesquiterpene biosynthesis metabolic pathway had four genes related to gibberellin degradation, CaGA2ox1.1(Gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase 1, T459_20483), CaGA2ox1.2 (Gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase 1, T459_24753), CaGA2ox8(Gibberellin 2-beta-dioxygenase 8, T459_05864), CaGRP3(Gibberellin-regulated protein 3, T459_06266). After the installation of facilities for rain protection cultivation in the Sichuan basin, the expression level of the gene for degradation of gibberellin at the top of the chili pepper decreased, while the content of gibberellin increased, causing the excessive growth of chili pepper, ultimately leading to a lower yield of chili pepper in the facilities for rain protection cultivation than in the field cultivation.

    Objective】High-quality is the primary target for waxy maize breeding. The aim of this study is to screen lines with high general combining ability and excellent hybrids with high-quality traits, which will clarify the breeding potential of these lines from Laos and lay a foundation in breeding high-quality waxy maize varieties.【Method】Using the Maize6H-60K chip, high quality genotype data of 33 waxy maize materials were obtained for cluster analysis. Combined with the iodine staining experiment and molecular detection of waxy genes, these types of waxy genes from early-generation maize lines from Laos were identified. Through the incomplete diallel cross experiment, phenotype identification and combining ability analysis of quality and other traits of 439 combinations were carried out to clarify the breeding potential of waxy maize lines with early generation from Laos. An experiment of quality traits evaluation with multi-person was conducted on these selected combinations with advantages to identify the most promising high-quality waxy maize hybrids. 【Result】Clustering analysis was conducted based on 56 626 high quality SNP, and the results showed that these lines from Laos and domestic materials belong to different branches and can be clearly distinguished. All 23 lines with early generation from Laos were waxy maize, among which 16 lines belonged to the wx-D10 type, three lines belonged to the wx-D7 type, and the other four lines were unknown types. The heritability of quality traits of waxy maize materials from Laos is low, ranging from 0.14 to 0.35, which is suitable for selection in higher generations. The average stewing quality of 439 combinations was significantly higher than that of the control Jingkenuo2000 and Shinuo2, but there was no significant difference from Yunuo7. The general combining ability effects of all quality traits of waxy maize lines F02, F22, F25, and F28 were positive, which could be used to improve quality traits of domestic waxy maize in China. Furthermore, these combinations M02×F02 and M22×F22 were evaluated as excellent in multi-person quality traits evaluation experiments by approximately 86% of all tasters.【Conclusion】These local varieties of waxy maize from Laos have rich genetic variation, with a certain genetic distance from domestic waxy maize inbred lines. There may also exist new alleles of waxy gene in these lines from Laos. In addition, these waxy maize lines from Laos have obvious advantages in quality traits, including waxy quality, pericarp thickness and other traits, which can be used as valuable germplasm for improving the quality traits of domestic waxy maize in China.

    In order to study the adaptability of different protein mulberry varieties in the windy and sandy area of Yuyang in northern Shaanxi, four different ecotypes of three-year protein mulberry (‘Yuyinsang-1’, ‘Yuyinsang-2’, ‘Yuyinsang-3’ and ‘YuYinsang-4’) were used as materials. The adaptability of four kinds of protein mulberry was comprehensively evaluated from agronomic traits, physiological and biochemical characteristics, yield characteristics and quality. The results showed that the four kinds of protein mulberry had good overwintering performance and could overwinter safely in Yulin area. The agronomic characters of ‘Yuyinsang-1’ were better than other varieties (P<0.05). The analysis of physiological and biochemical characteristics showed that there were significant differences (P<0.05) in chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and instantaneous water use efficiency (WUEi) among the four mulberry varieties except transpiration rate (Tr). The chlorophyll content and Pn of ‘Yuyinsang-1’ were the highest, while the WUEi of ‘Yuyinsang-1’ and ‘Yuyinsang-4’ were the best. The yield analysis showed that there was no significant difference in the total yield among the four protein mulberry varieties, but there were some differences in the fresh weight of stem and leaf, dry weight of stem and leaf and biological yield per plant. The best two varieties were ‘Yuyinsang-1’ and ‘Yuyinsang-4’, and the biological yield per plant of ‘Yuyensang-1’ was significantly higher than that of the other three varieties (P<0.05). There were no differences in crude fat content, crude fiber content and ash content among the four protein mulberry varieties, but there were significant differences in crude protein content, of which the crude protein content of ‘Yuyinsang-1’ was the highest (194.9 g/kg), which were 1.19, 1.43 and 1.13 times as much as ‘Yuyinsang-2’, ‘Yuyinsang-3’ and ‘YuYinsang-4’, respectively. The correlation analysis showed that the yield was significantly positively correlated with net photosynthetic rate, instantaneous water use efficiency, fresh weight and dry weight of stem and leaf (P<0.05).The crude protein content was significantly positively correlated with plant height, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate and fresh weight of stem and leaf (P<0.01). The results of comprehensive membership function analysis showed that ‘Yuyinsang-1’ could be used as a suitable protein mulberry variety in the sandy area of Yuyang in northern Shaanxi.

    Plant polyploidy often occurs along with higher yield and superior quality. Therefore, obtaining polyploid germplasms is a significant part of breeding. The oil-tea Camellia tree, an important native woody plant that produces high-quality edible oil, includes many species of Camellia with different ploidies. However, whether higher ploidy levels in oil-tea Camellia trees are related to better traits remains unclear. In this study, the ploidy levels of 30 different oil-tea Camellia strains in 3 different species in the sect. Paracamellia were determined by flow cytometry and chromosome preparation, and the phenotypic characteristics and fatty acid composition of the fruits were examined by field observations and laboratory analyses. The correlations between the ploidy level of oil-tea Camellia and the main traits of the fruit were investigated . Our results showed that 10 Camellia lanceoleosa strains were diploid, 10 Camellia meiocarpa strains were tetraploid and 10 Camellia oleifera strains were hexaploid. Hexaploid C. oleifera had larger fruit size and weight, more seeds per fruit, larger seed weight per fruit, higher oil contents and larger yield per crown width than tetraploid C. meiocarpa and diploid C. lanceoleosa, but their fruit peel thickness and fresh seed rate were significantly lower, and these traits were significantly correlated with ploidy. In addition, in terms of fatty acid composition, hexaploid C. oleifera had a higher oleic acid content than tetraploid C. meiocarpa and diploid C. lanceoleosa, but their linoleic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid contents were lower. The contents of palmitic acid, stearic acid and total unsaturated fatty acids were not significantly correlated with ploidy level. In conclusion, there were certain correlations between the main characteristics of oil-tea Camellia fruit and the ploidy level, and increasing ploidy level led to an increase in fruit yield, with no effect on oil composition. The discovery of the variation in the main characteristics of oil-tea Camellia fruit with different ploidies will facilitate germplasm innovation and lay a foundation for ploidy breeding and mechanistic research on fruit traits.
