    To explore the effects of different application combinations and application frequencies of gibberellin (GA3) and naphthylacetic acid (NAA) at different concentrations on the fruit development and quality traits of blueberries, the blueberry variety ‘Jewel’ was used as the experimental material, and water treatment was used as the control (CK). The blueberry seedlings at the full flowering stage were sprayed with 25 mg/L GA3, 20 mg/L NAA, and 25 mg/L GA3+20 mg/L NAA (GA3+NAA), respectively. The fruits in each group clusters were repeatedly sprayed twice and three times respectively during the young fruit stage and the expansion stage. The indicators such as the single fruit weight, total phenol and proanthocyanidin content of blueberries in each group after treatment were determined. The results showed that the effects of NAA and GA3 treatment in increasing the single fruit weight were better than those of GA3+NAA treatment. Spraying of GA3+NAA twice could increase the contents of total phenols, proanthocyanidins, soluble sugars and soluble solids in plants, and the effect was better than spraying GA3 or NAA alone twice. The effects of NAA and GA3+NAA treatments in reducing the content of titratable acids are superior to those of GA3 treatments. Spraying GA3 once had a better effect on increasing the vitamin C content of blueberry. In conclusion, spraying GA3+NAA (25 mg/L+20 mg/L) twice was beneficial for improving the quality of blueberry fruits. This article provides a reference for the scientific application of plant growth regulators in blueberry cultivation.

    To investigate the effect of flower age on the growth of self-pollinated pollen tubes and the lifespan of embryo sacs in rabbit-eye blueberries, ‘Powderblue’ rabbit-eye blueberry was used as experimental material, the flowers of different flower ages (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 days after male removal) were self-pollinated. And the the germination of pollen, growth of pollen tube, and embryo sac longevity development were observed. The results showed that flower age had a significant effect on the dynamics of pollen tubes in self-pollination rabbit-eye blueberries. During the balloon flowering period (0 days after male removal), self-pollination delayed the germination of pollen tubes, but the proportion of styles with pollen tube growth to the base was the highest. The larger the flower age, the lower the proportion of styles with pollen tubes growing to the base. The ratio of callose in the embryo sac increased with the increase of the age of self-pollinating flowers, among them, the ratio of callus formation in the ovules was lower from 0 to 1 day after male removal, indicating that the older the flower age, the more severe the degeneration of ovules in the ‘Powderblue’ rabbit-eye blueberry. Comprehensive analysis showed that pollination during the balloon flowering period of ‘Powderblue’ rabbit-eye blueberry can alleviate self incompatibility to a certain extent.

    The effects of deep fertilization on soil nutrients, plant nutrient uptake, plant growth and development, crop yield and quality were reviewed. Proper deep application of nitrogen fertilizer, phosphorus fertilizer, compound fertilizer, and organic fertilizer can all increase soil nutrient content. For example, deep application of nitrogen fertilizer (10-25 cm) can reduce nitrogen leaching and volatilization losses in soil; as the depth of compound fertilizer application increases, the ability of nitrate nitrogen in the soil to move downward increases. Proper deep fertilization enhanced nutrient absorption efficiency in crops. Fertilization in appropriate soil layers can promote the growth and development of crops, increases chlorophyll content in leaves, improves photosynthetic characteristics. Appropriate deep fertilization aligns the active root zones with nutrient supply areas, and improves fertilizer utilization efficiency. The impact of deep fertilization on yield and quality varies among crops, but proper deep fertilization generally enhances both. This study provides a reference for determining optimal deep fertilizations for different crops and exploring the benefits of yield increase with reduced fertilizer input.

    To investigate the potential mitigating effects of yeast selenium (Se-Y) on aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)-induced liver injury in quails, 20-day-old female yellow-feathered quails were randomly divided into four groups (10 quails per group): control group (basic daily ration), Se-Y group (0.8 mg/kg Se-Y), AFB1 group (30 μg/kg B.W AFB1), and Se-Y+AFB1 antagonism group (0.8 mg/kg Se-Y+30 μg/kg B.W AFB1). Liver histopathological damage, serum biochemical parameters, hepatic oxidative and antioxidant indices, and the expression levels of genes related to the Nrf2 signaling pathway were assessed.The results showed that compared with the control group, AFB1 exposure caused the quail livers to exhibit swelling, yellowing, whitening, and fragility. Histopathological observations revealed disordered cell cord arrangements, hepatocyte swelling, and vacuolar degeneration. Serum aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) activities were significantly increased. In liver tissues, malondialdehyde (MDA) and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels were markedly elevated, while glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), total superoxide dismutase (T-SOD), and catalase (CAT) activities were significantly reduced. Additionally, total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) was decreased. The expression of Nrf2 signaling pathway related genes (Nrf2, HO-1, NQO-1, SOD1, CAT) was significantly suppressed. Compared with the AFB1 group, the Se-Y+AFB1 antagonism group alleviated AFB1-induced liver histopathological damage, reduced serum AST and ALT activities, and increased hepatic GSH-Px, CAT, and T-SOD activities as well as T-AOC levels. Furthermore, the expression of Nrf2 signaling pathway related genes were upregulated.In conclusion, AFB1 exposure induces oxidative stress in quail livers and suppresses the expression of Nrf2 signaling pathway-related factors, leading to liver injury. Se-Y counteracts AFB1-induced hepatic oxidative damage by enhancing the expression of Nrf2-related factors, though the precise mechanisms require further investigation.

    To evaluate the nutritional value of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) derived from various raw materials, 30 DDGS samples were classified into 5 groups based on their raw material sources and crude protein content: rice DDGS, corn DDGS (Ⅰ), corn DDGS (Ⅱ), low-proportion cassava DDGS (CP > 18%), and high-proportion cassava DDGS (CP < 18%). The nutritional composition and predicted energy values were compared among these groups. Additionally, 5 representative DDGS samples were selected for further analysis of their gross energy, enzyme hydrolysate gross energy (EHGE), and digestibility determined by simulated digestion method.The results demonstrated that as the cassava substitution ratio increased, the crude protein and crude fat content of cassava DDGS gradually decreased, while crude fiber and crude ash content increased. Furthermore, model-predicted energy analysis revealed a significant decline in energy value with higher cassava substitution ratios, indicating poorer quality. Simulated digestion experiments confirmed that the energy value and digestibility of cassava DDGS decreased as the cassava substitution ratio rose.In conclusion, low-proportion cassava DDGS, with its high crude protein content and superior digestibility, is suitable as a quality protein source. Conversely, high-proportion cassava DDGS, characterized by elevated crude fiber and crude ash content, is less suitable for monogastric animals due to reduced nutrient utilization but can serve as a cost-effective roughage for ruminants.

    To investigate the effect and mechanism of Lepidium meyenii Walp. saponin (LMS) in promoting apoptosis of human retinoblastoma Y79 cells, Lepidium meyenii Walp. was used as the experimental material to extract its saponins. Y79 cells were treated with different concentrations of LMS (0, 100, 200, 400, and 800 μg/mL), and the effects of LMS on Y79 cell proliferation and apoptosis at different treatment times (24, 48, and 72 h) were detected. The expression levels of pro-apoptotic factors, including Caspase-3, Caspase-8, and Caspase-9 genes and proteins, were measured. The results showed that 2.58 g of total saponins were extracted from 50 g of maca dry powder, with an extraction yield of 5.16%. LMS treatment inhibited the proliferation of Y79 cells and induced their apoptosis, with the optimal effect observed at 400 μg/mL for 48 h, resulting in a cell viability rate of 54.05% and an apoptosis rate of 21.87%. Under these conditions, LMS promoted the expression of Caspase-3, Caspase-8, and Caspase-9 genes and upregulated the expression of Cleaved caspase-3, Cleaved caspase-8, and Cleaved caspase-9 proteins. In conclusion, LMS can inhibit the proliferation of Y79 cells and induce their apoptosis, and its mechanism may be related to the upregulation of pro-apoptotic factors Caspase-3, Caspase-8, and Caspase-9.
