    Wheat yellow dwarf disease,caused by Barley yellow dwarf viruses(BYDVs),is an important viral disease in wheat production.BYDV GAV has become the main pathogen causing wheat yellow dwarf disease.Till now the studies on the function of BYDV GAV encoded proteins P1,P2 and CP are lacking.We focued on the function of P1,P2 and CP,which could lay the foundation for the pathogenic mechanism of BYDV GAV.Phylogenetic analysis of BYDV GAV encoded P1,P2 and CP was conducted using Mega 7.0.We constructed the YFP expression vector of P1,P2 and CP,and then transformed them into GV3101 and infiltrated the leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana.The subcellular localization of P1,P2 and CP was observed using confocal laser scanning microscopy(CLSM).We constructed the biomolecular fluorescence complementation assay(BiFC)vectors of five coding proteins,and then transformed them into GV3101 and infiltrated the leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana.CLSM was used to observe the interaction of P1,P2 and CP and other viral proteins in vivo.Furthermore,we constructed the Potato virus X(PVX) expression vectors of P1,P2 and CP,transformed them into GV3101 and infiltrated the leaves of Nicotiana benthamiana.At 5 days post inoculation(dpi)the symptom formation of PVX infection was observed.The systemic leaves were collected for detection of viral accumulation to determine the effects of the pathogenicity of P1,P2 and CP.Results showed that BYDV GAV was most closely related to BYDV PAV at the nucleotide level.Subcellular localization of P1,P2 and CP was cytoplasm and nuclear.P1 interacted with itself in vivo using BiFC.In the pathogenicity assay,the systemic leaves of PVXCP infection showed chlorosis at 5 dpi,and PVX accumulation was detected,while PVX,PVXP1 and PVXP2 infection showed no symptoms in systemic leaves and PVX accumulation was undetectable,which was detected at 10 dpi,indicating that CP promoted the formation of PVX symptoms.In brief,P1 possibly involves in viral infection via self-interaction in vivo,and CP can promote viral infection.

    Being effective only to the traits controlled by large-effect QTL,conventional marker-assisted selection(MAS)can hardly improve the quantitative traits that are controlled by many small-effect QTL.Later on, the genomic selection (GS) technology proposed in 2001 solves the problem of improving complex traits controlled by the minor polygenic effects due to its high prediction accuracy through estimating the breeding value of individual with high-density molecular markers. At present,it has been successfully applied to the genetic improvement of quantitative traits in animals and plants such as dairy cattle,pigs,sheep,maize,and wheat in the US,Canada,Australia,Germany,France and so on.As a breaking-through breeding technology and a hot spot in research and application now. In this review,we summarized the factors affecting predictive accuracy of GS and the research progress of GS in breeding maize,wheat,rice and rapeseed at home and abroad,and finally discussed the existing problems in its application. This review will provide some reference for GS of the crops in the future.

    In order to clarify the effects of high temperature stress during grain filling stage on leaf senescence and yield,a field experiment from 2019 to 2020 was conducted with employing heat-sensitive variety(XY335)and heat-resistant variety(ZD958). Simple plastic greenhouse was constructed for heat treatment(HT)during 12-25 days after silking,the natural temperature was set as control(CK). The two years results showed that from 12 to 25 days after silking,high temperature stress significantly reduced the grain weight and yield of summer maize. For ZD958,the grain yield of HT was reduced by 18.8% and 19.3% than CK and thousand kernels weight(TKW)was decreased by 23.4% and 9.1%,respectively.For XY335,the grain yield and TKW of HT were reduced by 29.4%,26.3% and 20.1%,14.2%,respectively.High temperature during grain-filling stage accelerated leaf senescence. The two years results showed that leaf senescence rate(LSR)of ZD958 and XY335 under HT were increased by 76.4%,140.6% and 135.1%,139.6%,respectively.Leaf area duration(LAD)after silking with HT was reduced by 17.7%-36.5% compared with CK. Ear leaf photosynthesis under HT was lowered by 20.0%-42.9% than CK.Correlation analysis results indicated that accelerated LSR under HT had negative correlation with grain yield but without statistical significance(P=0.064 7).LAD after silking,photosynthesis,and SPAD significantly reduced under HT,which showed significant positive correlation with grain yield(P< 0.05). Taken together,heats tress during grain filling significantly accelerated leaf senescence,thus lowering kernel weight and resulting in yield loss. Under high temperature stress,heat-resistant maize variety had higher regulation ability than high temperature-sensitive maize variety,which could significantly mitigate yield loss caused by high temperature stress.

    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 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.

    Grain specific promoter with high transcription activity can regulate the specific and high-level expression of target genes in plant grains.In order to explore specific promoters of maize grain,the dominant expression gene GRMZM2G006585 was screened from the published data of maize expression profile microarray.The DNA sequence about 2 000 bp upstream of its coding region was cloned and named PZm2G006585.By using the online websites New PLACE and PlantCARE to analyze its promoter elements,we found that it contained multiple grain specific related elements such as E-box and P-box.It was preliminarily considered that the upstream sequence of the cloned coding region was a grain specific promoter from maize.In order to verify its function,the expression vector of GUS gene was constructed and transformed into plants.GUS histochemical staining results of transgenic rice showed that the expression pattern of exogenous genes driven by the promoter was grain specific and embryo dominant.The results of GUS activity detection in T3 seeds of transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana single copy line showed that the GUS activity driven by PZm2G006585 was 909.52 nmol/(min·mg).The discovery and functional verification of the grain-specific promoter PZm2G006585 can provide candidate promoter resource for specific expression of target genes in maize,rice and other monocotyledons.

    To analyze the same protein of whey and milk fat globule membrane (MFGM)of jersey yak crossbreeds milk and yak milk by proteomics method. The milk yield of jersey yak crossbreeds was higher than that of yak. If the function of jersey yak crossbreeds milk is like that of yak milk,it will improve the economic level of local herdsmen. Whey and milk fat were separated by centrifugation,and proteins were extracted respectively. The same protein was obtained by qualitative and quantitative analysis of protein by tandem mass tag (TMT)technique. GO functional annotation,KEGG metabolic pathway,protein interaction and other bioinformatics analysis were performed on the same protein. Result analysis indicated that 651 whey proteins and 990 MFGM proteins were identified in the peak lactation period of jersey yak crossbreeds milk and yak milk by label quantitative proteomics,and 298 whey proteins and 283 MFGM proteins were screened. GO annotation analysis showed that the same proteins of jersey yak crossbreeds milk and yak milk whey were mainly involved in the negative regulation of endopeptidase activity,immune response and immunoglobulin production. The same proteins of MFGM were mainly involved in the negative regulation of endopeptidase activity and complement activation. The cell components of the same proteins of whey and MFGM in the classical pathway were mainly extracellular space and extracellular region. The molecular functions involved were mainly guanosine 5'-triphosphate (GTP)enzyme activity and GTP binding. KEGG enrichment analysis showed that the main enrichment pathways of the same proteins in jersey yak crossbreeds milk and yak milk whey and MFGM included complement and coagulation cascades,phage and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. During the peak lactation period,the proteins with higher abundance in the milk of jersey yak crossbreeds and yak showed excellent performance in immunity and promoting nutrient absorption. However,the milk yield of jersey yak crossbreeds was higher than that of yak,which would increase the economic income of local herdsmen and provide more valuable plateau dairy products for people.

    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.

    In order to clarify the similarities, differences and biological functions of Nodule inception(NIN)genes, which expressed core transcription factors NIN involved in all the biological processes from rhizobia infection to root nodule formation and nitrogen fixation in soybean, and integrates nodulation and autoregulation of nodulation signals to dynamically control the number of nodules, methods of bioinformatics were used to analyse the phylogeny, protein sequence, gene sequence and promoter elements of the four GmNINs, and Real-time PCR were carried out to verify the tissue expression pattern.The results showed that the four GmNINs proteins with similar protein sequences belonged to the specific NIN protein family in Legumes, located in the nucleus, had multiple phosphorylation sites and similar core tertiary structure with significant difference in corner. Acorrdingly, the above results indicate that the four GmNINs proteins may be redundant in core functions, but have differences in specific expression patterns.Analysis of the upstream-3 kb promoter sequence of GmNINs showed that the promoter sequence of GmNINs contained many elements such as ABRE, DRE1 and other elements related to stress and hormone response, except NBS and CYC elements.Transcriptome analysis and Real-time PCR results showed that GmNINs were highly expressed in nodules and inhibited in high nitrogen condition; they responded to salt and drought stress of varying degrees, among which GmNIN2a and GmNIN2b were more sensitive and significant in responding to abiotic stress, and GmNIN2a and GmNIN2b may play an important role in the process of plant response to abiotic stress. In short, the results revealed that GmNINs not only regulate the nodule number of soybean and nodulation, but also participate in the process of root response to abiotic stress. The discovery of this regulatory mechanism provides essential clues for breeding new varieties with high quality and high yield.

    In order to understand the characteristics and potential risks of heavy metals accumulation in farmland soils and agricultural products in typical areas of Hebei Province,soil samples (0—20 cm)and agricultural products were collected from metal smelting areas,sewage irrigation areas and vegetable areas,the contents of heavy metals Cr,Cd,Pb,As,Hg,Cu,Zn and soil pH were determined. The environmental quality of farmland soil in typical areas of Hebei Province was evaluated by the method of combining single-factor pollution index with nemerow comprehensive pollution index,the safety of agricultural products was evaluated. The results showed that the descending order of single pollution index of 7 heavy metals was Cd,Zn,Cu,As,Cr,Pb and Hg,and the single pollution index of Cd,Pb,Cu,Zn in some soil samples was more than 1.0,the environmental quality was above grade Ⅲ,and the rate of exceeding the standard of soil Cd was the highest (18.51%). Cd,Cu,Pb and Zn in the soils of the smelting area exceeded the standard,and the exceeding rate was 92.31%,69.23%,34.62% and 26.92%,respectively. The accumulation of Cd and Zn in the soil of sewage irrigation area was the most obvious,and the over-standard rate was 8.70%. The accumulation of Cd in vegetable soil was the most obvious,and the over-standard rate was 9.94%. Overall,the comprehensive pollution index of 7 heavy metals in farmland of Hebei Province was 0.64,and the soil environmental quality was in grade Ⅰ,which was clean. The soil environmental quality grades of smelting area,sewage irrigation area and vegetable area were in grade Ⅲ(light pollution),Grade Ⅰ(safety)and Grade Ⅰ(safety),respectively. According to the relevant food safety standards (NY 861—2004,GB2762—2022),the excess rates of Pb,Cd and Zn in wheat grains around the smelting area were 40.00%,40.00% and 60.00%,respectively. The excess rates of Zn,Pb and Cd in wheat grains were 57.45%,8.51% and 6.38%,respectively. The content of heavy metals in all vegetables in the vegetable area was not exceeding the standard,and the quality of vegetables is safe. Therefore,the soil environmental quality and the quality safety of agricultural products in smelting and sewage irrigation areas should be paid enough attention.

    The bioinformatic analysis of SAUR genes aims to unveil their structure,function,and evolutionary relationships.Simultaneously,through subcellular localization,the goal was to understand their position within the cell,thereby inferring their biological functions.Such analyses contribute to a deeper understanding of the gene's mechanistic role and potential applications within an organism.This held particular theoretical and practical significance for regulating the germination of windproof seeds,reducing seed dormancy duration,and facilitating green cultivation and breeding of wind-resistant plants.In order to explore the biological characteristics and functions of SAUR genes,SdSAUR32 and SdSAUR23 were cloned from Saposhnikovia divaricata,and bioinformatics analysis was conducted to analyze the expression and subcellular localization of these two genes in different dormancy stages of Saposhnikovia divaricata seeds.The findings indicated that the SdSAUR32 protein had a molecular weight of approximately 14.48 ku(pI 6.45),while the SdSAUR23 protein had a molecular weight of around 10.29 ku(pI 8.00),confirming that both proteins were hydrophilic.The conserved domain analysis of SdSAURs gene encoded protein showed that SdSAUR32 and SdSAUR23 had the same conserved domain,which belonged to auxin induced superfamily members.The phylogenetic analysis showed that both SdSAUR32 and SdSAUR23 encoded protein was the closest relative to Daucus carota. The subcellular localization results indicated that both SdSAUR32 and SdSAUR23 were found within the nucleus.The SdSAUR32 and SdSAUR23 genes were found to be expressed during different stages of Saposhnikovia divaricata seed development.It was observed that the expression levels of these two genes were significantly higher during the germinal stage compared to the release dormancy stage and dormancy stage.This suggested that SdSAUR32 and SdSAUR23 may have a crucial role in the germination,growth,and development of Saposhnikovia divaricata seeds.This study offers not only insights for investigating the role of the SAUR gene family but also establishes atheoretical framework for examining the function of other genes in the parsnip family at the molecular level.
