Auxin response factor(ARF)is a class of transcription factors with B3 domain,which is a direct molecule regulating auxin response and controlling gene expression.A gene,ZmARF10,which encoded ARF protein and actively participated in drought-rehydration stress response,was previously screened in maize by analyzed transcriptome data.To further research the molecular mechanism of ZmARF10 regulating drought resistance of maize,and also provide a new idea for molecular breeding of drought resistance,the gene was firstly analyzed by bioinformatics software.Secondly,Quantitative Real-time polymerase chain reaction(qRT-PCR)was used to detect the expression pattern of ZmARF10 in different tissues,under high temperature,drought,high salt,ABA and restoring treatments,and in different inbred lines.Finally,the function of ZmARF10 was analyzed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology.The results showed that ZmARF10 was located on chromosome 3 of maize,with a total length of 2 127 bp,and encoded 708 amino acids with a typical B3 domain.The upstream 2 kb region of ATG of this gene contained response elements related to methyl jasmonate,auxin,abscisic acid and low temperature.The phylogenetic tree showed that the protein encoded by the ZmARF10 gene was closely related to sorghum.qRT-PCR results showed that ZmARF10 was a constitutive expression gene,and the expression level of ZmARF10 was the highest in mature corn roots of maize.Under high temperature,drought,high salt and ABA treatments,the expression of this gene was significantly up-regulated,and the up-regulation ratio was up to 8.2 times after drought stress.After drought stress,the expression level of ZmARF10 gene was significantly higher in the drought-resistant inbred line Zheng 36 than that in the drought-sensitive inbred line B73.Investigation of Arabidopsis wild type and ARF10-deficient mutants showed that,compared with wild type,the mutant plants showed leaf wilting and even dry death,roots curled,root branch number decreased,and lateral root growth and development were hindered under drought conditions.Determination of physiological and biochemical indexes showed that the relative water content,chlorophyll content and net photosynthetic rate of the deficient mutants were significantly lower than those of the wild-type plants after drought stress,indicating that the drought resistance of Arabidopsis decreased after ARF10 gene was knocked out.

In order to study the biological function of NbEHD1 in Nicotiana benthamiana,its gene structure,conserved domains,phosphorylation sites,subcellular localization and evolutionary relationship were predicted by bioinformatics methods.The encoding sequence of NbEHD1 was 1 638 bp,and its genomic sequence contained 16 exons and 15 introns.NbEHD1 protein was predicted located in the cytoplasm,which had 42 phosphorylation sites and had no signal peptide and transmembrane region.NbEHD1 belonged to the P-loop_NTPase superfamily and had a conserved domain specific to the EHD family.Phylogenetic relationship showed that NbEHD1 was closely related to EHD sequences of Solanum tuberosum and Solanum lycopersicum.Blast analysis against N.benthamiana sub-data base in SNG was performed to obtain the predicted full length of NbEHD1,then its full nucleic acid sequence was amplified by gene-specific primers.After obtaining NbEHD1 CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing construct,the vector was successfully transformed into the leaves of N.benthamiana by Agrobacterium-mediated genetic transformation.Eventually 16 T₀-generation plantlets were successfully identified,which provided materials for further research to determine the biological function of NbEHD1.

As one of the main products of photosynthesis,sucrose has a variety of physiological functions in plants.As a group of glycosyltransferase enzymes,sucrose synthase plays an important role in the process of sucrose metabolism.In plants,sucrose synthase reversibly catalyzes the decomposition of sucrose and nucleoside diphosphate(NDP)to produce nucleoside diphosphate glucose(NDPG)and fructose.This reaction is the most important rate-limiting step in sugar metabolism.Sucrose synthase exists in the form of a gene family in plants.Phylogeny shows that there are three subgroups of sucrose synthase,and different subgroups have different expression patterns.Recent studies have shown that sucrose synthase has several major physiological functions in plants,such as participating in the synthesis of macromolecular sugars,response to adversity,participating in reproductive growth and regulating fruit quality.This article reviews the research progress of sucrose synthase in recent years,and looks forward to future research directions in order to provide a reference for future research.

In order to explore the gene expression regulation mechanism in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) induced by heat stress,heat stress treatments were set at seedling,heading and filling stage to investigate the dynamic change of ROS accumulation in rice,respectively.And the Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) was used to analyze the expression pattern of nine respiratory burst oxidase homologue (Rboh) encoding genes (OsRboh1-OsRboh9) in rice under different growth stages.Results showed that the ROS accumulation in rice leaves and grains significantly increased with the extension of heat stress.The ROS content increased slowly after 7 days of heat stress at seedling stage, while increased continuously after heat stress during the heading stage and early filling stage (1-10 d) in rice grains. Expression levels of the nine OsRboh family genes continuously increased with the extension of heat stress at seedling and heading stages,and OsRboh7 and OsRboh5 showed higher expression levels under heat stress.The expression levels of OsRboh1,OsRboh5 and OsRboh9 were continuously increased,while other genes showed a change tendency of increasing initially and then decreasing under heat stress at filling stage.The expression levels of OsRboh7 and OsRboh5 were all reached to a high level at seedling,heading and filling stage under heat stress.Furthermore,higher expression levels of OsRboh7 and OsRboh5 were showed in various tissues and organs of rice such as seedling leaves,flag leaf,floret,lemma,palea,stamen,pistil and grain.The higher induced range of gene expression levels in OsRboh7 and OsRboh5 by heat stress was shown in seedling leaves,floret,stamen,pistil and grain.Taken together,OsRboh7 and OsRboh5 were mostly remarkably responsive to heat stress at different growth stages among the OsRboh family genes in rice,which indicated that OsRboh7 and OsRboh5 played a vital role in the regulation of ROS formation pathway in rice under heat stress condition.

Partial substitution of organic fertilizer nitrogen for chemical fertilizer nitrogen is one of the ways to achieve sustainable crop development.This study explored the appropriate ratio of wheat organic nitrogen partial substitution for chemical nitrogen,as well as the characteristics of nitrogen accumulation,transportation,and utilization after substitution,in order to provide a basis for nitrogen fertilizer reduction and efficiency enhancement technology for winter wheat in Hebei Region.Field experiments of the following nine treatments were conducted in Ningjin,Hebei from 2021 to 2023:T1,non-nitrogen,and application of chemical P and K fertilizer alone;T2,high efficiency fertilization treatment,and application of chemical N,P and K fertilizer alone;T3—T7,substitution of 20%,40%,60%,80% and 100% the chemical N rate of T2 with organic fertilizer,respectively;T8,traditional fertilization,and application of chemical N,P and K fertilizer alone;T9,substitution of 100% chemical N rate of T2 with organic fertilizer,and spraying liquid nitrogen fertilizer at the erecting stage.The results of two years of experiments showed that the 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen treatment could achieve the highest wheat yield.Secondly,the yield of the 40% substitution rate treatment was equivalent to that of the high efficiency fertilization treatment,and it was much higher than that of the traditional fertilization treatment in the second year of the experiment.The 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen treatment increased the nitrogen content in stems and leaves by spraying available nitrogen during the erecting period,and the nitrogen accumulation in plants was equivalent to that of high efficiency fertilization and traditional fertilization treatments.Treatment with 40% and 80% substitution rates also achieved nitrogen accumulation equivalent to the highly efficient fertilization treatment.The 20%—100% substitution rate treatment (including liquid nitrogen treatment) could achieve a higher nitrogen transfer rate in stems and leaves,as well as the contribution rate of nitrogen transfer to grain.Among them,the 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen treatment had good fertilizer nitrogen absorption and utilization effect,achieving higher fertilizer nitrogen accumulation,nitrogen utilization rate,and nitrogen harvest index.Nitrogen fertilizer effect of the 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen treatment was equivalent to or slightly higher than that of highly efficient fertilization treatment.Secondly,the treatment with the 40% substitution rate had a similar or slightly lower nitrogen fertilizer effect than the highly efficient fertilization treatment.In summary,the 100% substitution rate+liquid nitrogen treatment showed better wheat yield,plant nitrogen accumulation,nitrogen transport rate,grain nitrogen accumulation,and nitrogen efficiency,followed by the 40% substitution rate treatment.

The identification of leaf shape mutant and genes controlling leaf shape can not only provide germplasm resources for genetic improvement of leaf shape,but also help to analyze the genetic regulation mechanism of leaf development.vrnl11 was identified from an EMS induced Wankelü 3(WK3)mutant library.Progeny populations derived from vrnl11/WK3 and vrnl11/Zhonglü 1 were used for genetic analysis,and the segregation pattern of different phenotypic plants in F₂ populations was determined by χ² test.Two F₂ populations constructed by crossing vrnl11 with Zhonglü 1 and Zhonglü 5 were used as mapping populations.Fine mapping for vrnl11 was completed by using BSA sequencing technology and map-based cloning strategy.Phenotype identification results showed that,compared with wild-type WK3,the leaf width and leaf area of vrnl11 decreased by 25.7% and 21.7%,respectively.Genetic analysis showed the narrow leaf phenotype of vrnl11 was controlled by a single recessive nuclear gene.BSA sequencing analysis located the mutation site within a 4.7 Mb interval from 15.0 Mb to the chromosomal end on chromosome 11.vrnl11 was finally located in the 186.5 kb interval between the markers nl-61 and nl-46 by using these newly developed polymorphic molecular markers.The mapping interval contained 9 predicted genes.These results provide a theoretical basis for cloning vrnl11 and understanding the molecular regulation mechanism of leaf development in mungbean.

Photoperiod is one of important environmental factors affecting plant bolting and flowering which are regulated by plant phytochrome proteins.The signal network mediated by PHYB has an important inhibitory effect on plant bolting and flowering.Previous studies revealed that there were large segment insertion/deletion differences between the PHYB gene promoter of the Chinese cabbage late-bolting line 06-247 and the easy-bolting line He102.In order to further investigate the impact of promoter mutation on PHYB and the key genes of its downstream pathways,this study was conducted.Based on bioinformatics methods,the redundancy characteristics of phytochrome genes in genome Chinese cabbage were firstly analyzed.It was found that the Chinese cabbage genome contained six phytochrome genes,of which PHYA had two copies,and PHYB,PHYC,PHYD,and PHYE all had only one copy.Then amino acid sequence alignment was used for screening of the specific sequence of PHYB.Antigenic determination clusters were designed based on the specific sequence and the antibodies against PHYB was prepared.The fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR technology and Western Blot technology were used to study the relative content of PHYB in 06-247 and He102.At the same time,the dynamic changes of key regulatory genes such as CCA1,FLC,CO and FT which in the downstream of PHYB pathway were also compared.The results showed that the promoter mutation caused significant differences both in level of mRNA in 06-247 and then significantly increased the protein level of PHYB.At the same time,the downstream regulatory genes such as CCA1,FLC,CO and FT were highly expressed in 06-247,which had an important impact on bolting resistance of 06-247.

JAZ protein plays a key role in plant growth and development and stress signaling pathways.In order to explore the regulatory mechanism of JAZ protein in wheat late spring cold,TaJAZ6 gene was cloned from young spike of wheat,and its molecular characteristics,expression characteristics and subcellular localization were analyzed.The results showed that the full-length CDS sequence of the gene was 549 bp,encoding 178 amino acids.The predicted molecular weight of the encoded protein was 18.376 ku,the theoretical isoelectric point was 9.37,and the instability coefficient was 62.44,so it was an unstable protein.The protein encoded by this gene had a TIFY domain and a CCT_2 domain.Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the protein had the closest relationship with TIFY 11b proteins of Triticum dicoccoides and Triticum urartu.In addition to the basic response elements such as CAAT-box and TATA-box,the promoter region of TaJAZ6 gene also contained hormone response elements,light response elements,low temperature response elements,defense and stress response elements.Real-time Quantitative PCR analysis showed that TaJAZ6 gene was expressed in roots,stems,leaves and young panicles,with the highest expression in roots.The expression of TaJAZ6 gene was also induced by low temperature and methyl jasmonate (MeJA).Under low temperature stress,the expression trends of TaJAZ6 in roots,stems and leaves of Aikang 58 (tolerant to late spring cold ) and Zhengmai 366 ( sensitive to late spring cold ) were the same trend,which significantly increased.After spraying 300,350 μmol/L MeJA,the expression of TaJAZ6 in plants treated with low temperature decreased significantly in both wheat varieties.The expression level of TaJAZ6 in the young panicles after low temperature stress showed an opposite trend.The expression level of TaJAZ6 in the young panicles of Aikang 58 decreased significantly,and increased significantly in the young panicles of Zhengmai 366.It was speculated that the gene might negatively regulate the defense response of wheat to late spring cold stress.By spraying MeJA,the relative expression of TaJAZ6 gene in young spikes of two wheat varieties under low temperature stress was significantly reduced,and the grain number of wheat was increased.Subcellular localization assay showed that TaJAZ6 protein was localized in the nucleus.The results above indicate that TaJAZ6 may play an important role in the response of wheat to late spring cold stress.

In order to cultivate and screen saline-alkali tolerant peanut varieties and expand the utilization area of saline-alkali soil,50 peanut varieties were used as materials,and four saline-alkali gradients,including 0,0.4%,0.8% and 1.2%,were set by potting to screen saline-alkali tolerant varieties. The results showed that under the saline-alkali stress of 0.8% in the germination stage,the seeds of 50 varieties were significantly differentiated in terms of saline-alkali tolerance,and the germination rate and seedling vigor of 8 varieties remained above 90% and 85%. The evaluation results of various physiological indexes at the seedling stage showed that the root indexes and aerial traits did not change much under low concentration (0.4%)saline-alkali stress,but showed different degrees of decline under medium (0.8%)and high (1.2%)concentration stress,and the reduction range was 22%—54% and 30%—56%,respectively. In addition,chlorophyll indexes showed an upward trend with the increase of saline-alkali concentration,with an increase range of 12%—13%. The comprehensive evaluation results of peanut using the excellent index showed that 23,5 and 0 varieties performed excellently under the saline-alkali stress of 0.4%,0.8% and 1.2%,respectively. Correlation analysis revealed that,there was no significant correlation between saline-alkali tolerance stress at the germination stage and the seedling stage,indicating that there were different mechanisms of saline-alkali tolerance during germination and seedling stages. The above results concluded that under the conditions of pot cultivation,moderate concentration (0.8%)saline-alkali was suitable for the screening of peanut saline-alkali tolerance varieties. According to the comprehensive excellence index,five saline-alkali tolerant peanut varieties were selected,namely Jihua 572,Tang 3432,Jinonghua 31,Yihua 16 and Yuhua 191,which provided a basis and germplasm resources for the promotion and cultivation of salt alkali tolerant peanut varieties.

In order to clarify the sequence characteristics of the MYB62 transcription factor,expression changes after stress,and further explore the biological function of the MYB62 transcription factor,kohlrabis were used as plant materials.MYB62 transcription factors were obtained by homologous cloning method and bioinformatics was analyzed.Spatiotemporal expression analysis of MYB62 and its expression after stress were performed by Real-time PCR.Results of gene cloning showed that gDNA length of BocMYB62 gene was 1 353 bp,the length of CDS was 837 bp,which contained four exons and three introns and encoded 278 amino acids.The sequence structure analysis showed that BocMYB62 was a hydrophilic protein with two SANT-MYB domains,belonging to the R2R3-MYB type in the MYB transcription factor family.The spatial structure prediction revealed a typical α-helix structure.Phylogenetic analysis indicated that BocMYB62 was closely related to MYB62 in Brassica napus.The spatiotemporal expression results showed that BocMYB62 was consistently higher in green kohlrabi than that in purple with clear tissue specificity.The expression of BocMYB62 was significantly increased during drought stress with the highest expression under 12 h.The BocMYB62 expression was significantly lower than control and the lowest at 4 ℃ cold stress.These results inferred that BocMYB62 may be involved in the regulation of anthocyanin biosynthesis and the regulation of stress.It provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent functional identification of MYB62 transcription factors.

To clarify the effects of drought stress and cultivars on the net photosynthetic rate(Pn),the activities of photosynthetic enzymes in flag leaf in the afternoon(FLA)during grain filling stage and grain yield of winter wheat,a pond culture experiment with four water levels and two winter wheat cultivars was conducted under the condition of rainproof pond cultivation in 2019—2021.The four water treatments included severe drought(W1),moderate drought(W2),mild drought(W3),and suitable water supply(W4).The Pn,and the activities of Rubisco,RCA,PEPC,ATPase and PPDK in flag leaf from 14:00 to 16:00 during the early(EGFS)and medium(MGFS)grain filling stage,and the grain yield at maturity of strong drought resistance cultivar Jinmai 47(JM47)and weak drought resistance cultivar Yanzhan 4110(YZ4110)were investigated.Drought stress decreased the FLA Pn and activities of most photosynthetic enzymes,and the grain yield of wheat.The decrease of these indexes increased with drought stress degree,but the effects were different among varieties and years.Compared with W4,the FLA Pn of JM47 under W1,W2 and W3 decreased by 33.6%—40.6%,12.0%—30.5% and 5.0%—13.5%,as well as YZ4110 decreased by 44.0%—52.0%,22.5%—38.1% and 11.5%—20.5%,respectively.Compared with W4,the FLA Rubisco activity decreased during EGFS but increased during MGFS for JM47,while it decreased by 13.3%—25.6%,7.1%—14.0% and 11.2%—11.6% for YZ4110,respectively,under W1,W2 and W3.Compared with W4,the FLA RCA activity significantly decreased under most drought treatments during EGFS,while increased under W2 and W3 for JM47 and decreased under W1 and W2 for YZ4110 during MGFS.Compared with W4,the FLA ATPase activity of JM47decreased under W1 but increased under W3,while that of YZ4110 decreased under W1,W2 and W3 by 19.3%—48.7%,7.2%—24.2% and 0.1%—8.9%,respectively.The FLA PEPC activity under different treatments varied with growing seasons and varieties.Compared with W4,the FLA PPDK activities of JM47 and YZ4110 under W1 were decreased by 12.4%—18.8% and 16.7%—18.2%.Compared with YZ4110,in most conditions,the FLA Pn and photosynthetic enzyme activities of JM47 had no significant difference under suitable water supply(W4),but increased under drought treatments(W1,W2 and W3).The results of correlation analysis showed that yield,FLA Pn were significantly positively correlated to FLA ATPase activity during EGFS and MGFS,as well as FLA PEPC activity during EGFS.Thus,increasing the FLA ATPase and PEPC activities during the grain filling period is conducive to the increase of FLA Pn and grain yield of wheat.

In order to reveal the influence mechanism of sowing date adjustment on crop yield formation, a field experiment was conducted to adjust the sowing date of the same variety of summer maize from 2019 to 2021 at Hebei Gucheng Agricultural Meteorology National Observation and Research Station in Northern north China, which was set up in four sowing date, as 10 d early sowing, 10 d late sowing, 20 d late sowing and control. By monitoring the growth period changes, plant dry matter accumulation, leaf photosynthetic characteristics and grain filling characteristics, and sampling at maturity to determine the yield components, the results showed that:the sowing date of summer maize was appropriate to be advanced,the seedling stage,ear stage and the whole growth period were extended,especially,the duration of effective filling was extended with the advance of sowing date.The effective grain filling duration days were extended by 4.7 days for every 10 days ahead of the sowing date.The average filling rate of winter wheat was 4.04% higher on the sowing date was advanced by 10 days, compared with the sowing date was deferred by 10 or 20 days and the control.Grain filling accumulation increased,and 100-grain weight increased by 5.459 g.The main yield components of summer maize,such as grain number per ear,grain weight per ear and 100-grain weight showed significant differences during sowing,and increased with the sowing date.The theoretical yield increased by 1 395.4 kg/ha with 10 days ahead of the sowing date during the experimental period from June 8 to July 8.The average net photosynthetic rate(Pn)of leaves in the critical development period of summer maize increased by 0.764 μmol/(m²·s)with every 10 days ahead of sowing date,and the average Pn of sowing date 10 days earlier was increased by 7.31% compared with the control and late sowing 10 and 20 days.With the increase of photosynthetic rate,dry matter production,accumulation and transfer to grain were increased,and the grain weight per ear and 100-grain weight increased by an average of 24.01% and 18.00%,respectively,compared to the control and late sowing 10 and 20 days.Advancing sowing date resulted in low plant height,strong stems,lodging resistance,large individual green leaf area,high leaf area index(LAI),and high leaf photosynthesis ability,above-ground dry matter allocation rate at maturity stage every 10 days in advance of sowing date:grain weight improved by 2.26%,the source—pool distribution of dry matter between plant vegetative organ and ear changed,ear weight per ear,100-grain weight and grain yield increased.The research showed that the double cropping area of winter wheat—summer maize in north China could effectively improve the yield per unit area by making full use of the heat resources increased by climate warming,reasonably allocating stubble,sowing summer maize early at the appropriate time,and extending the development period and grain filling time.

In order to excavate the mycovirus resources in Ustilaginoidea virens and deeply analyze the relationship between the genome organization and function of a novel mycovirus,it took a U.virens strain Uv321 with abnormal phenotype,isolated from Hainan Province,as the research object,and identified the species of the novel mycovirus in the strain Uv321 on the basis of the previous meta-transcriptome data,a series of studies have been carried out around the novel mycovirus.The results showed that a novel mycovirus was identified in strain Uv321,named Ustilaginoidea viruses botourmiavirus 7 (UvBV7).The genome of UvBV7 is positive single-stranded RNA(+ssRNA),with a total length of 2 406 nt and a GC-content of 53.78%,containing an open reading frame(ORF)encoding RNA-dependent RNA polymerase(RdRP),which encodes 643 amino acids with a molecular weight of about 72.727 ku.The prediction of the protein secondary structure of the viral terminal showed that the 5' and 3' terminal bases of UvBV7 were complementary and paired,forming a hairpin structure.The BlastP alignment showed that UvBV7 had the highest similarity with the virus Erysiphe necator associated ourmia-like virus 72,which belonged to the genus Botoulivirus in the family Botourmiaviridae,but only 44.52%.The multiple alignment results based on the RdRP sequences of UvBV7 and other similar viruses showed that there were 8 conserved domains in the RdRP amino acid sequences of UvBV7 and the members of the family Botourmiaviridae.The GDD motif was found in the Ⅵ conserved domain,which is the typical highly conserved core motif of viral RdRP proteins.The phylogenetic tree constructed based on the amino acid sequence of the viral RdRP also indicated that UvBV7 clustered with the members belonging to the genus Botoulivirus.Therefore,UvBV7 is a novel mycovirus belonging to the genus Botoulivirus in the family Botourmiaviridae.The results of dual cultures of different strains of U.virens showed that UvBV7 could be transmitted horizontally between vegetative compatibility strains,but the mycelial tip-ribavirin,heat-ribavirin and protoplast regeneration-ribavirin treatments were unable to eliminate the mycovirus UvBV7 in strain Uv321.In conclusion,this study not only enriched the diversity of mycoviruses in U.virens,but also provided potential biocontrol agents with hypovirulence for the biocontrol of rice false smut.

To investigate the influence of green manure cultivation on the carbon and nitrogen content of saline-alkali soil under freshwater leaching,a field experiment was conducted from October 2021 to May 2022.Three treatments were set up:winter fallow(T1),Dongmu 70 rye(T2),and rape(T3).The spatial distribution of soil organic carbon(SOC),nitrate nitrogen($\mathrm{NO}_{3}{ }^{-}-\mathrm{N}$),and ammonium nitrogen($\mathrm{NH}_{4}^{+}-\mathrm{N}$)in the soil and leachate were measured.The results revealed that in the 0—30 cm soil layer,the soil organic carbon content of T1,T2,and T3 increased from 6.20,6.58,7.24 g/kg before leaching to 6.48,7.39,8.06 g/kg after leaching,representing an increase of 4.41%,12.20%,and 11.23%,respectively.After freshwater leaching,the nitrate nitrogen content in the 0—60 cm soil layer of T1 was significantly higher than that of T2 and T3.In the 0—30 cm soil layer,the respective reductions for each treatment were 42.42%,3.85%,and 10.84%.In the 60—90 cm soil layer,the reductions were 1.38%,7.96% and 18.11%.There were no significant differences in ammonium nitrogen content among the different treatments before leaching,but after leaching,the highest ammonium nitrogen content was observed in T2.In conclusion,after leaching irrigation,the soil organic carbon content in different soil layers increased compared to before leaching,while soil nitrogen showed a significant decrease.Analysis of nitrogen content in the soil and leachate indicated that the main nitrogen loss caused by leaching irrigation was in the form of nitrate nitrogen.Compared to winter fallow farmland,the cultivation of rapeseed green manure had a significant effect on increasing soil nitrogen content,while Dongmu 70 green manure was the the most effective in reducing soil nitrogen loss.

In order to investigate the reasons for the differences in plant height between SSSL-B50 and HJX74,an F₂ population was constructed by backcrossing SSSL-B50 with HJX74 for genetic analysis and gene mapping of the plant.The genetic analysis showed that F₁ plants exhibited tall plant height.And the separation ratio within F₂ was 3:1(χ²=0.18<3.84)between the tall plant individuals and the semi-dwarf ones,which indicated that the tall plant height of SSSL-B50 was a dominant trait.Based on the linkage analysis between the marker genotypes and phenotypes of plant height in the F₂ population,the gene controlling tall plant height was mapped between markers S18 and X161 within the 38.38—39.07 Mb interval of the substituted segment on chromosome 1.Moreover,it was found that the known gene of "Green revolution",SD1,fell to the mapping interval.Through amplification and sequence alignment of SD1 gene in Oryza glumaepatula,SSSL-B50,and HJX74,it showed that a 280 bp deletion in CDS in HJX74 compared with Oryza glumaepatula and SSSL-B50.The qRT-PCR results showed that the expression level of SD1 was significantly higher in the second,third,and fourth sections of SSSL-B50 stem than in HJX74.The comparison of the SD1 gene sequence of Oryza glumaepatula with the previous reported results showed that the base substitutions occurred at two sites (E100G, Q339R) in the encoded amino acid.The results revealed that the tall plant height of SSSL-B50 was controlled by SD1.Furthermore,a new allelic type of SD1, SD1^Glu,was identified in Oryza glumaepatula.

To investigate the effect of exogenous melatonin (MT) on salt tolerance of soybean seedlings,and to screen the appropriate application concentration under different salt stress.The soybean variety Tianyou-2986 was used as the test material,and 3 salt concentrations (low salt S₃:3 g/L,medium salt S₅:5 g/L,high salt S₇:7 g/L ) and 6 MT concentrations were set(M₀:0 μmol/L,M₁:25 μmol/L,M₂:50 μmol/L,M₃:75 μmol/L,M₄:100 μmol/L,M₅:150 μmol/L),the morphological parameters,biomass,antioxidant enzyme activity and osmoregulatory substance content of soybean seedlings were analyzed.With the increase of salt stress,the root morphological parameters,biomass,root-shoot ratio,antioxidant enzyme activity and osmoregulatory substance content of soybean seedlings decreased,while the malondialdehyde content increased.Under low salt (S₃) and medium salt (S₅) stress,The number of total length,lateral roots,SOD and POD of 50 μmol/L MT were increased by 52.30%,19.98%,74.10%,40.03% (low salt) and 68.52%,19.24%,81.72% and 37.42% (medium salt),respectively.Under high stress (S₇),75 μmol/L MT increased by 71.17%,19.11%,80.79% and 27.01%,respectively.Under salt stress,exogenous 25—100 μmol/L MT promoted soybean seedling growth and improved salt tolerance to different degrees.The overall evaluation of the affiliation function showed that 50 μmol/L MT was the most effective in alleviating salt damage under low and medium salt stress,and the suitable concentration of MT was 75 μmol/L under high salt stress,and the main reason for the alleviation of salt damage in soybean seedlings was that MT increased the activities of antioxidant enzymes and osmoregulatory substance content,and reduced the content of malondialdehyde,which could alleviate oxidative and osmotic stresses of soybeans under salt stress.

12-oxo-phytodienoic(OPR) acid reductase is a flavin mononucleotide-dependent oxidoreductase,a key enzyme for the synthesis of jasmonic acid,which is important for plant growth, development and defence regulation.In order to study the disease resistance effect of OPR gene in maize, bioinformatics methods were used to identify OPR family members in 31 different maize inbred lines and the expression pattern after infestation by S. turcica was analyzed.The results showed that eight OPR genes were identified in maize line B73 and they were unevenly distributed on seven chromosomes.In addition,these expressed proteins of OPR genes were rich in acidic amino acids.Further analysis revealed that the maize OPR family contained only one structural domain,Oxidored_FMN,and all OPR members contained 10 protein conserved motifs identified.Phylogenetic relationship analysis of OPR family members from maize,wheat,rice and Arabidopsis using MEGA software revealed significant differences in the evolutionary relationships of OPR gene families in these plants.The OPR proteins of maize and those of rice were the closest in evolution.Homology analysis using OrthoFinder software revealed that the maize OPR gene family was highly conserved,with all OPR genes being core genes,but with slightly different functions.According to the previous RNA-seq data of Hebei key Laboratory of Plant Physiology and Molecular Pathology,we analyzed the expression pattern of OPR genes of maize B73 in response to S.turcica infection and verified the gene expression pattern of OPR genes through qRT-PCR.It was found that there were three different expression patterns in the process of S.turcica infection.This study systematically identified the maize pan-genomic OPR family genes and their expression patterns in response to S.turcica infection.

Spike length is an important agronomic trait in wheat and is closely related to yield components.Studying wheat spike length genes and screening molecular markers linked to spike length genes can provide molecular support for wheat molecular marker-assisted breeding.The F₂ population constructed with Keda 116 and Keda 101 as parents was used as test material to construct a genetic map covering the wheat genome by SSR molecular markers and to locate QTLs for spike length by combining the complete composite interval mapping method.A total of 434 pairs of primers with polymorphism between parents were screened from 3 234 pairs of primers,and the detection rate of polymorphic primers was 13.42%.A total of 28 molecular markers were screened for possible linkage to spike length by BSA mixed pool analysis,16 of these markers were verified to be tightly linked to the target gene by a population of 262 plants.The genetic map of wheat chromosome group was constructed by QTL-IciMapping software,and the average genetic distance between markers was 38.66 cM.A total of seven QTLs loci associated with spike length were detected,which were located on chromosomes 3B,4A,4B and 6B.The additive effect values of all the seven QTLs were positive and their contributions to the genetic variation of phenotypic traits ranged from 4.01% to 23.16%.Two major QTLs were mapped on chromosome 4B,explaining 17.59%-23.16% of the phenotypic variance.Among them,Qsl4B-2 was the most closely linked QTL locus with only 3.5 cM away from the nearest molecular marker,and the analysis found that it might be a new major QTL locus.Therefore,genes associated with spike length might exist on chromosome 4B.Within the marker interval of chromosome 4B from yzu397456 to yzu404917 and yzu409422 to yzu405167,there might be seven candidate genes regulating wheat spike length,which were consistently highly expressed in the spike.

Conservation tillage and organic fertilizer application are one of the effective solutions to alleviate ecological vulnerability in dry farming areas of the Loess Plateau.Reasonable tillage and fertilization measures are of great significance for the realization of two crops a year in the arid area of central Shanxi.The dry farmland in the Loess Plateau was taken as the research object,and the split-plot experimental design was adopted,the main area was three tillage methods (deep tillage (DT),deep loosening (SS),no tillage (NT)),and the sub-area was four fertilization levels (No fertilizer control (CK),full chemical fertilizer (CF),50% chemical fertilizer+50% organic fertilizer (OF),full organic fertilizer (OM)).The changes of soil bulk density,available nutrients and annual yield of wheat and maize under different tillage and fertilization methods were explored.The results showed that in 0-20 cm the soil bulk density of SS and NT treatments were lower than that of DT treatment after organic fertilizer application.The soil bulk density of SS+OF treatment was 1.13 g/cm³,which was significantly lower than that of DT+OF treatment in wheat season.In the whole annual rotation system,the soil mass water content of NT+OM treatment was the highest,which was 7.88 percent point higher than that of other fertilization treatments,and the three-phase ratio of soil under SS+OM treatment was more ideal,and the deviation value of three phase was low.Under the three tillage methods,the content of available nitrogen and available phosphorus generally showed the trend of OM>OF>CF>CK,and the content of available potassium was significantly related to the fertilization method,which was the highest under the CF treatment.The application of organic manure in maize season significantly increased the fresh ear yield of maize compared with a single application of chemical fertilizer,but the difference between them was not significant.The annual yield of wheat and maize under SS+OM treatment was the highest,reaching 19 145 kg/ha.In summary,under the conditions of this experiment,the combination of SS,NT and organic fertilizer application could significantly improve the physical properties of the soil,and the content of alkali-hydrolyzable nitrogen and available phosphorus also had a certain degree of improvement,and SS+OM treatment was beneficial to the increase of the yield of wheat-maize continuous cropping field in the Loess Plateau.

To explore the genetic relationship of alfalfa germplasm resources and provide theoretical basis for the identification of alfalfa varieties and the breeding of new varieties.Genetic diversity of 30 alfalfa materials was analyzed by ISSR and SSR markers.A total of 125 bands and 117 polymorphic bands were amplified by 12 ISSR labeled primers.The polymorphic band ratio(PPB)was 93.01%.The average effective allele number(Ne),Nei's gene diversity index(H)and Shannon diversity index(I)were 1.465 9,0.281 3 and 0.431 4,respectively.A total of 152 bands and 144 polymorphic bands were amplified by 12 SSR markers,and the polymorphism band ratio(PPB)was 94.05%.The average effective allele number(Ne),Nei's gene diversity index(H)and Shannon diversity index(I)were 1.542 7,0.313 9 and 0.470 1,respectively.The genetic similarity coefficient and cluster analysis of the two markers showed that Zxy2010p-7900 and Zxy2010p-7740 could be divided into a separate category and were far related to other materials.Qingshui alfalfa,Longdong alfalfa and Gannong No.4 mixed alfalfa can be divided into one group,the genetic similarity coefficient between the varieties is large,and the relationship is close.The phylogenetic relationship of the tested alfalfa germplasm was objectively determined by the two labeling methods.

To reveal the distribution preferences of SSR in foxtail millet genome,the study analyzed distribution regularities of SSRs among the 5'-flanking regions,the 3'-flanking regions,the extron regions and the intron regions in gene locus from foxtail millet genome using bioinformatics methods.The results showed that the relative frequency,a ratio of the frequency of a type of SSR in a certain genomic region by the frequency of this SSR in whole genome,of SSRs decreased with increasing of the distance of 5'-flanking regions from start codon,and was more than 1.50 obviously in a range from 1 bp to 700 bp.However,the relative frequency of SSRs was close to 1.00 in each of other three regions.Furthermore,with increasing of the distance of 5'-flanking regions from start codon,the relative frequency of various SSR types revealed the various changing trends,and as a whole,6 SSR types,including CCG,AG,AGG,AGGG,ACC and AGC,showed both the high frequency and the high relative frequency,and of these 6 types,the distance range(1—1 800 bp)of AG,in which its relative frequency was more than 1.50,is the maximum while that of CCG is minimal(1—200 bp).Meanwhile,in the extron regions,5 SSR types with high C/G contents,including CCG,AGG,AGC,ACG and ACC,showed both a high frequency and a high relative frequency.It was concluded that SSRs distributed preferentially in a length range from about 1—700 bp of 5'-flanking regions with 6 main specific SSR types,including CCG,AG,AGG,AGGG,ACC and AGC;on the other hand,in 3'-flanking regions,the intron regions and the extron region,distribution of SSR is close to that in genome,and however,in the extron region,a total of 5 SSR types,including CCG,AGG,AGC,ACG and ACC,are obviously specifically distributed.

In order to study the effect of applying N,P and K fertilizer on the yield and nutrient use efficiency of oil sunflower under the double cropping pattern of winter wheat-summer oil sunflower in Southern Shanxi,a field plot fertilizer experiment was carried out with Linkui 4 from 2019 to 2021.Four fertilization treatments including NPK,PK,NK and NP were set up.The effects of different fertilization treatments on yield response,agronomic efficiency and fertilizer use efficiency of N,P,K were analyzed.The results showed that the three-year average yield of oil sunflower treated with NPK was 3 634 kg/ha(3 502—3 818 kg/ha),which was 19.6%,12.1%,13.7% higher than that of PK/NK/NP,respectively.PK treatment had the lowest yield.The average yield responses of N,P and K fertilizers were 588.8(481.0—704.7 kg/ha),391.8(296.0—488.7 kg/ha),438.2 kg/ha(329.3—629.7 kg/ha),respectively.The agronomic efficiencies of N,P and K were 3.8(2.8—4.9 kg/kg),3.1(2.1—4.1 kg/kg),2.9 kg/kg(2.2—4.2 kg/kg),respectively.The aboveground accumulations of N,P and K were 174.4(172.5—176.8 kg/ha),60.0(58.3—61.8 kg/ha),241.1 kg/ha(236.2—246.8 kg/ha),respectively.The nutrient use efficiency of N,P,K was 36.3%(36.0%—36.7%),15.7%(15.3%—16.2%)and 47.1%(46.0%—47.9%),respectively,of which K>N>P.So the application of N,P and K fertilizer could not only significantly increase the oil sunflower yield but also the aboveground accumulation of N,P and K.Among the three kinds of NPK fertilizers,N increased the yield most,and K uptake by the aboveground part and utilization rate of oil sunflower was the highest.Therefore,in the production we should pay attention to the reasonable application of N,P and K,while N and K should be supplemented by seed fertilizer and topdressing.

In order to clarify the main agronomic traits and their relationships with grain yield of different colored-grain wheat varieties(lines),and select colored-grain wheat varieties suitable for cultivation in Eastern Shandong.The experiment was carried out during 2020-2022 winter wheat growing seasons.Four purple-grain wheat varieties (lines)Qingyan No.1 purple wheat (QYZ-1),QYZ-2,Shannong No.1 purple wheat (SNZM1),and Nongda 3753 (ND3753),two blue-grain wheat lines 20064 and 20072,and one common white grain wheat variety Jimai 22 (JM22,control variety) were selected as test materials,to systematically study the differences in flag leaf SPAD,leaf area index,dry matter accumulation and remobilization,grain yield and its component factors,stability of agronomic traits and yield sustainability of different colored-grain wheat varieties (lines).The results showed that grain yield,thousand grains weight,leaf area index at anthesis,SPAD value after anthesis,dry matter accumulation at anthesis,dry matter accumulation at maturity,dry matter accumulation at post-anthesis and harvest index of each colored-grain wheat varieties (lines) were lower than those of common white grain wheat (Jimai 22).Compared among the various colored-grain wheat varieties (lines),the purple-grain wheat QYZ-1 grain yield was significantly higher than that of other colored-grain wheat varieties (lines),and the grains per unit area number was not significantly different from that of QYZ-2,but its thousand grains weight was significantly higher than that of QYZ-2.The upper three leaves area index of the purple-grain wheat QYZ-1 was significantly higher than that of the blue wheat lines and ND3753 at the anthesis stage.The flag leaf SPAD,the dry matter accumulation at maturity and post-anthesis,the dry matter remobilization before anthesis,and the harvest index were higher than those of other colored-grain wheat varieties (lines);compared with other varieties (lines),the coefficient of variation (CV) of agronomic traits of JM22 and QYZ-1 were lower.Compared with colored-grain wheat,the mean yield and yield sustainability index (SYI) of QYZ-1 were higher.In addition,the correlation analysis showed that the grain yield was positive significantly correlated with the dry matter accumulation at anthesis,the dry matter accumulation at maturity and post-anthesis,the dry matter remobilization before anthesis,the harvest index,flag leaf SPAD value at 28 days after anthesis,whole green leaves area index at anthesis and thousand grains weight,respectively.Based on the results of the two years' study,QYZ-1 obtained the appropriate leaf area index,maintained the higher flag leaf SPAD after anthesis,and the longer duration of anthesis to maturity stage,delayed the leaf senescence during the late grain filling stage,and synergistically increased the post-anthesis dry matter accumulation and the dry matter remobilization before anthesis,dry matter accumulation at maturity and harvest index,and grain number per unit area and thousand grains weight,and then achieved higher grain yield.In summary,Qingyan No.1 purple wheat,as a colored-grain wheat variety,has a stable yield and good sustainability,making it suitable for planting in Eastern Shandong region.

In order to provide a theoretical basis for rational application of organic fertilizers and ensure the healthy development of soil ecosystems in corn fields,the effects of soil fungal communities under different levels of organic fertilizer application for the composition,diversity,and functional characteristic were studied.In the meantime,a field experiment was used,with a total of 4 treatments were set up,and the high-throughput sequencing and FUNGuild method were used to analyze the soil fungal diversity,community structure and functional groups in different fertilization rates.The results showed that the increased application of organic fertilizer could increase the content of soil organic matter,available phosphorus,available potassium,urease,catalase,etc.,and it was positively correlated with the application amount of organic fertilizer.Applied organic fertilizers could increase the diversity of soil fungal communities and reduce their richness.The dominant fungal communities in the soil under different fertilization rates were Ascomycota,Mortierellomycota,Basidiomycota,and Olpidiomycota,the relative abundance of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota was significantly higher in the treatment with a medium amount of cattle manure than in the control without organic fertilizer;from the perspective of fungal genera,the dominant genera include Fusarium,Humicola,Olpidium,and Microidium.The application of organic fertilizer increased the relative abundance of symbiotic and saprophytic nutrients,and with the increase of organic fertilizer application,the abundance of pathological nutrients showed a decreasing trend;the number of woody saprophytic fungi in the treatment with increased organic fertilizer application was significantly higher than that in the treatment without organic fertilizer application,while the number of plant and animal pathogens was lower than the control.Therefore,it is believed that increasing a certain amount of organic fertilizer application could optimize the soil microbial environment and promote the increase of corn plant yield.

To explore the function of the TCP gene family in the growth and development of Jasminum sambac,bioinformatics methods were used to identify and analyze the whole genome of J.sambac TCP(JsTCP)gene family.Moreover,the expression levels of TCP gene family in different stages of flower development and pollen-stigma interaction were analyzed.A total of 27 TCP gene family members were identified from the whole genome of J.sambac,named JsTCP1—JsTCP25.The protein contained 208—539 amino acid residues,with molecular weight of 22.95—56.96 ku and isoelectric point of 5.70—9.97,and all of them were unstable hydrophilic proteins.The subcellular localization prediction showed that all JsTCPs were located in the nucleus.JsTCPs were unevenly distributed on 10 chromosomes.Gene structure analysis showed that JsTCPs had 1—5 exons and 0—4 introns.Protein conserved motifs and phylogenetic analysis showed that JsTCPs contained conserved TCP domain,and they were divided into two subclasses:Class Ⅰ and Class Ⅱ.Promoter of JsTCPs contained cis-acting elements related to plant hormone response,stress response,and growth and development.The expression pattern analysis showed that 24 JsTCPs were expressed at different stages of flower development,and 22 genes were expressed in pollen-stigma interactions.In conclusion,27 TCP gene family members were identified from J.sambac,and it found that they expressed specifically at different stages of flower development and different stages after pollination.

In order to study the differences in yield and nitrogen utilization,transport and accumulation of different winter wheat cultivar(line)types in the Northern Huanghuai,the yield traits and nitrogen utilization efficiency of 29 and 26 winter wheat cultivars(lines)for testing in the Northern Huanghuai wheat area were investigated and analyzed in 2021—2022 and 2022—2023,respectively.Through cluster analysis,wheat was classified into four types:high-yielding,medium-high-yielding,medium-yielding and low-yielding.Nitrogen content of wheat stems,leaves,spikes,and grains at maturity were measured at anthesis and maturity,respectively,to analyze the relationship between parameters related to nitrogen utilization traits and yield.The results showed that the average yields among high-yielding,medium-high-yielding,medium-yielding and low-yielding varieties(lines)differed significantly from 2021 to 2023,with the number of spikes per hectare of high-yielding varieties significantly higher than that of other types.At the anthesis stage,the nitrogen accumulation and distribution rate of each organ were stems and sheaths>leaves>spikes;at the maturity stage,the nitrogen accumulation of each organ was grains>stems and sheaths>spikes>leaves.The post-anthesis nitrogen accumulation,pre-anthesis nitrogen transport and its contribution to the grain of different varieties of wheat were higher in high-yielding varieties(lines),and the pre-anthesis nitrogen transport and its contribution to the grain were greater than the post-anthesis nitrogen accumulation and its contribution to the grain.Nitrogen utilization efficiency,nitrogen harvest index,nitrogen accumulation at anthesis and nitrogen accumulation at maturity were significantly and positively correlated with wheat grain yield.Therefore,water and fertilizer management can be carried out through the nitrogen uptake and transfer pattern and distribution characteristics of different varieties,or selecting and breeding wheat varieties with high nitrogen utilization efficiency to achieve high-yield and high-efficiency production of wheat.

To investigate the nature and function of PlSPL1 (SPL)gene of Paeonia lactiflora,further elucidate the commonalities and characteristic differences of the PlSPL1 gene in different species,and explore the role of PlSPL1 in the degree of stem straightening in Paeonia lactiflora. The full-length sequence of the PlSPL1 gene was obtained by RACE technology using the stalk of herbaceous peony Hongfeng as the research material,and the structural,physicochemical properties,and phylogenetic relationships of PlSPL1 were analyzed and predicted using bioinformatics software,then,the expression level of PlSPL1 in different developmental stages of herbaceous peony stems was analyzed using qRT-PCR technology,and subcellular localization analysis of the protein was conducted using laser confocal microscopy technology.The results showed that the open reading frame of the PlSPL1 gene was 3 000 bp,encoding 999 amino acids.The protein had a molecular formula of C₄₈₆₉H₇₆₈₂N₁₄₀₆O₁₄₉₇S₄₃,a molecular weight of 111.25 ku,a theoretical isoelectric point of 6.26,encoding a hydrophilic unstable acidic protein,phosphorylation modification predominantly on serine,no signal peptide,with transmembrane structure,and had a secondary structure consisting mainly of random coil.Phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that the PlSPL1 protein was most closely related to peony,followed by a closer relationship with grape;protein sequence comparison analysis revealed that the PlSPL1 protein had a conserved SBP domain which was unique to SPL transcription factor family.The relative expression analysis found that PlSPL1 gradually showed a decreasing trend with stem development,indicating that PlSPL1 was negatively regulating the stem development of herbaceous peony and it was hypothesised that PlSPL1 played important roles in degree of stem straightness;and the subcellular localisation showed that the PlSPL1 protein was localised in the nucleus.The above results indicate that PlSPL1 is participated in the stalk development of herbaceous peony.

Genomic-wide identification of systematic work on the SKS gene family in cotton has not been reported.Identifying SKS (Skewed5 similar) gene family members and analyzing evolutionary relationship in Gossypium hirsutum,and analyzing the mechanism of GhSKS13 gene regulating cotton disease resistance are expected to provide a new direction for the cultivation of resistant plants.Here,the members of upland cotton SKS family were identified by bioinformatics at the genome-wide based on published genomic data of upland cotton genetic standard line TM-1,and G.hirsutum variety CRI-14 was used as the material.And chromosome distribution,evolutionary relationships,gene structure,and collinearity of SKS family members were predicted.Then,the expression pattern of GhSKS13 was analyzed by Real-time Quantitative PCR and virus-induced gene silencing was employed for preliminary investigation of the function of GhSKS13 in cotton resistance to Verticillium dahliae.A total of 48 upland cotton SKS genes were identified,unevenly distributed on 19 chromosomes,clustered into 5 subgroups with highly conserved gene sequences.Collinearity analysis revealed that the upland cotton SKS gene family was subject to purifying selection.Expression pattern analysis showed that GhSKS13 was predominantly expressed in upland cotton root tissues and significantly up-regulated by V.dahliae infection. GhSKS13-silenced reduced plants resistance to V.dahliae and suppressed the expression of the pathogen-related genes including GhPR1, GhPR2,GhPR3 and GhPR5 compared to control plants. GhSKS13-silenced plants invaded by V.dahliae showed significantly lower hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) deposition compared to the control,suggesting that GhSKS13 promotes the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS).In conclusion,this study clarified the phylogenetic relationships,chromosomal distribution characteristics and gene structure characteristics of upland cotton SKS family members,and elucidated the involvement of GhSKS13 in upland cotton plant resistance to V.dahliae.

To improve the production quality of matcha in tea gardens,the effects of interaction of shading height and shading rate on matcha chlorophyll content,quality components,tea garden environment,etc.were studied through a field experiment,10 treatments in total,including non-shading treatment (CK),shading heights (1.0,1.5,2.0 m)of main treatments and shading rates (40%,70%,100%)of subtreatments were set. Compared with the CK,the results showed that interaction of shading height and shading rate could improve the daily average temperature,daily maximum temperature,and daily minimum temperature of the surrounding environment of tea garden.Interaction of shading height and shading rate were beneficial to reducing illuminance on the surface of tea canopy,increasing the relative chlorophyll content (SPAD value)and significantly increasing the chlorophyll content.The interaction of shading height and shading rate significantly increased the content of water extract and ammonia,and significantly decreased the content of tea polyphenols,caffeine content,and phenol ammonia ratio in tea.Redundancy analysis of tea quality components and chlorophyll content with corresponding environmental factors showed that illuminance and minimum temperature were the main indicators that affected the quality components and chlorophyll content of tea.The interaction of a shading height of 1.5 m and a shading rate of 70% is conducive to the production of high-quality matcha.

With the development of dairy products,milk protein is an important index to evaluate the nutritional value of milk.Optimizing feed formulation is one of the key tasks to improve the quality and efficiency of dairy cow production.At present,although feeding rumen-protected amino acids is the most direct and efficient way to improve milk protein synthesis of dairy cows,most studies only focus on a single limiting amino acid,ignoring the understanding of amino acid nutritional balance.Amino acid nutrition,as the source and signal substance of milk protein synthesis,affects the absorption and utilization of blood amino acids by cows,but its molecular mechanisms is still unclear.Therefore,this article mainly analyzed the effects and regulation of amino acids on protein synthesis in dairy cows.Firstly,it described the basic pathway of milk protein synthesis and the influence of essential amino acids,non-essential amino acids and combined essential amino acids on milk protein yield and concentration.Secondly,it introduced the impact of the supply of essential amino acids and combined essential amino acids on feed intake,blood amino acid concentration,blood flow and mammary gland cells of dairy cows,while emphasizing the optimal supplemental dose of amino acids required for mammary gland cell culture and the specific regulation of essential amino acids on amino acid transporters and signaling pathways in cellular molecular angle.In summary,through the discussion of the factors and molecular regulation mechanism of mammary gland protein synthesis,it can not only help to optimize the ideal amino acid ratio in feed and scientific production mode,but also provide theoretical reference for improving the synthesis of milk protein by amino acid nutrition in related filed.

To clear under the condition of slow release nitrogen fertilizer applying different content of maize development rule of the diurnal change of photosynthetic characteristics and growth,the light response curve was to fit,so as to farming-pastoral zone of spring maize cultivation and nitrogen utilization to provide theoretical basis.This study took Guangde 5 as the research object,and based on the long-term positioning experiment in 2018,the leaves ear position in spinning—tasseling stage of maize were mesured and analyzed under six nitrogen gradient of N 0(N0,CK), 120(N8), 180(N12), 240(N16), 300(N20),360(N24) kg/ha in 2019 and 2020. SPAD value, intercellular carbon dioxide concentration, stomatal conductivity, diurnal variation of net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, light response curve and dry matter accumulation rule.The results showed that with the increase of nitrogen fertilizer application, the changes of SPAD value, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate and stomatal conduction degree day of maize increased first and then decreased,and N16 treatment was the highest,and intercellular carbon dioxide concentration was the lowest.The changes of net photosynthetic rate,transpiration rate and stomatal conduction degree day showed unimodal curve.The light response curve fitting analysis showed that the maximum net photosynthetic rate of N16 treatment was the highest.In 2019 and 2020,N16 treatments were 37.48%,29.51%,31.85%,18.17%,37.32% and 80.04%,59.73%,50.30%,6.42%,62.51% higher than N0,N8,N12,N20 and N24 treatments,respectively.Dry matter mass accumulation in whole plant and ear were positively correlated with maximum net photosynthetic rate,apparent quantum efficiency and SPAD value.Comprehensive analysis showed that the most suitable nitrogen fertilizer application rate in western Inner Mongolia was 240 kg/ha.

In order to investigate the structural characteristics of Brassica juncea AHK family proteins and their regulatory functions related to seed weight traits,it employed bioinformatics methods to perform whole-genome identification,physicochemical properties analysis,phylogenetic tree construction,protein structure analysis,promoter cis-elements analysis,and differential tissue expression profiling of the BjAHK family members.The main findings were as follows:a total of 19 BjAHK protein sequences were identified from the B.juncea genome,and phylogenetic analysis classified the BjAHK family members into four branches:G1 (BjAHK2—BjAHK4),G2 (BjAHK5),G3 (BjAHK1),and G4 (BjCKI1).Analysis of functional domains revealed the presence of six conserved motifs (Motif1—Motif6) in BjAHK family members,corresponding to the HisKA,HATPase_c,and REC conserved domains.The N-terminal regions of BjAHK1—BjAHK4 and BjCKI1 proteins exhibited relatively conserved transmembrane domains,which might be associated with their transmembrane function.Differential tissue expression profiling revealed that the genes encoding cytokinin receptor proteins (BjAHK2—BjAHK4) were constitutively expressed genes,with the highest expression levels observed in root tissues.Through integration with existing transcriptomic data on seed weight traits in B.juncea,four candidate genes potentially involved in the regulation of seed weight traits were identified:BjA07.AHK3,BjB03.AHK3,BjA10.AHK5,and BjB05.AHK5.BjA07.AHK3 and BjB03.AHK3 might positively regulate seed development,while BjA10.AHK5 and BjB05.AHK5 might have the opposite effect.Based on the integration of gene family analysis and transcriptome result,it was inferred that BjAHK3 and BjAHK5 genes play an important role in the regulation of seed development in B.juncea.

WRKY transcription factor is a family of transcription factors unique to plants.Studies have demonstrated that WRKY transcription factor played an important role in plant growth and development and in plant response to biological and abiotic stress.In order to reveal the function of tomato WRKY gene,two inbred lines of tomato with high resistance to bacterial wilt Hm 2-2(R)and high susceptibility to bacterial wilt BY 1-2(S)were used as experimental materials based on the preliminary transcriptome data,and a WRKY transcription factor SlWRKY75 gene(Solyc05g015850.3)was cloned.The structure,expression pattern and function of the gene and its encoded protein were analyzed by bioinformatics analysis,multiple alignment of amino acid sequences,phylogenetic tree construction,Real-time Quantitative PCR(qRT-PCR)and virus induced gene silencing(VIGS).The results showed that the full length of the cDNA of this gene was 653 bp,its maximum open reading frame was 519 bp,encoding 172 amino acids,the relative molecular weight of the protein was 19.878 51 ku,the theoretical isoelectric point was 9.32.The protein belonged to the hydrophilic non-secreted protein,and there was no transmembrane structure.Meanwhile,the protein had a highly conserved WRKY domain and a CX₄CX₂₃HXH zinc finger motif,which belonged to the Class Ⅱ family.Phylogenetic tree analysis showed that SlWRKY75 was closely related to Solanum pennellii SpWRKY75 and clustered into a group with other Solanaceae,while it was far related to Hevea brasiliensis HbWRKY75 and Gossypium hirsutum GhWRKY75 and was in different branches in the phylogenetic tree.The results of qRT-PCR analysis showed that the expression of SlWRKY75 gene were tissue-specific and could be induced by Ralstonia solanacearum,salicylic acid and jasmonic acid.VIGS result showed that silencing SlWRKY75 reduced plant resistance to bacterial wilt,indicating that SlWRKY75 positively regulated tomato resistance to bacterial wilt.These results suggested that SlWRKY75 gene played an important role in regulating tomato resistance to bacterial wilt.

In order to clarify the impact of irrigation amount on maize production,using Zhengdan 958 as the main material and the local average reference crop water demand(ET0)was used as the basis of irrigation volume,a study was conducted under rain-protection shed in 2020 and 2021,which included eight irrigation treatments:T1,T2,T3,T4,T5,T6,T7 and T8 representing 60% ET0,80% ET0,100% ET0,120% ET0,140% ET0,160% ET0,180% ET0 and 200% ET0,respectively.The study aimed at analysing the effects of irrigation on yield and its components and plant physicochemical properties.The results indicated that the yield and its components,ear length,grain dry matter distribution ratio,free water content,plant height,ear position height,ear height coefficient,photosynthetic potential and seed setting rate of maize showed an increasing trend when irrigation was added.Specifically, the yield and grain number per ear increased significantly while the material distribution ratio decreased in leaf and corn cob.There was a small change rate of chlorophyll and water potential of maize leaves,no significant difference in plant height and ear position height among treatments and stable ear height coefficient at VT and R6 stages under high water treatment(T5—T8).Comparing with T3,a decrease of 20% and 40% in irrigation volume could cause a significant decrease in yield,but the lower yield increase rate appeared when irrigation volume had the same increase rate as the decrease rate. The seed setting rate also showed the same variation under the same condition. However,the water supply efficiency decreased with the increase of irrigation volume and declined more than 20% when the irrigation volume exceeded T6.Correlation analysis showed that correlation between maize yield and leaf chlorophyll content,water potential at anthesis and water content was not significant,but there was a significant or extremely significant correlation with other factors.Therefore,maize yield could be raised by improving ear traits,grain dry matter distribution ratio and physical and chemical properties of plant development through irrigation,an increased irrigation amount by 40%—60% on the basis of the average water demand should be suggested for maximizing the yield and efficiency during the growth period in the region.
