• In the present paper, cultivated apple ‘Fuji’(standard growth type),‘Waltz’(or‘Telemon’,columnar growth type) and seedlings in their progeny with standard and columnar types were used to establish the ISSR inter-simple sequence repeat) analyses in apple. ISSR markers were also used for genetic analysis of the columnar gene. The results showed that 80 %primers produced good amplification in 20μL reaction volume include 1U Taq DNA polymerase , 2.5 mmol ·L^-1 Mg²⁺ , 20 ng DNA and 0.2 μmol ·L ^-1 primer with the annealing
  temperature 52 ℃. Adjusting the concentration of the template DNA , primers and the annealing temperature can optimize the ISSR - PCR amplification. 35 ISSR markers were obtained from the screened 65 primers. Among them 33 ISSR markers , which displayed 1∶1 segregant ratio in correspondence with the genetic segregation of Co gene, could be used for genetic analysis of the Co gene in apple.

• Genomic DNAs from‘Red Sun’kiwifruit and its sport red-fleshed kiwifruit were amplified by RAPD with 300 102bp random primers to study the genetic substance change of the sport . Among the primers most amplification products were monomorphic , only ten of which could generate polymorphic segments. 20 out of the 148 amplified fragments were distinctive including the loss of a normal segment , appearance of a new segment and intensity changes. The Nei’s association coefficient and genetic distance between them were 0.7619 and 0.1429 respectively. The differences of amplified DNA segments showed that the red-fleshed sport was related to changes of some genetic substances. The polymorphic segments could be used to forecast the flesh color of grafted seedlings from the sport scion

• In strawberry , Cadmium regularly distributed in accordance with accumulation factors. In light of cd-decreasing order the arrangements were root , stems , leaves and fruit . Cadmium absorption amount in strawberry increased with time , while the cadmium absorption rate gradually decreased in the meantime. In the nutrition liquid , the cadmium absorption rate reached the peak after 40 minutes , and then the absorption rate gradually reduced. The experiment of hydroponics culture showed that Ca and P could reduce the cadmium absorption.The pot experiment showed CaCO₃ and Na₂SiO₃ could decrease the accumulation of cadmium in strawberryps fruit and other organs. The reduction of cadmium in strawberry may be relevant to the reduction of soil acid degree and the resistance of Ca to cadmium. CaCO₃ appeared more significant in reducing the accumulation of cadmium in strawberryps fruit and other organs. It was a practical regulative measure to add some CaCO₃ into the soil in order to decrease the accumulation of cadmium.

• Effects of 1-methylcyclopropene (1-MCP) and storage temperatures on respiratory rate and ethylene production rate were investigated in relation to flesh firmness , titratable acid , total soluble solids and internal browing of ‘Qinguang 2’nectarine and ‘Qinwang’peach fruits during storage at 0 ℃and 5 ℃. Fruit stored at 0 ℃had more reduced rates of respiration and ethylene production , firmer flesh and less internal browing compared with those at 5 ℃. Application of 1μL·L^-1 1-MCP inhibited the rates of both respiration and ethylene production, delayed fruit soffening and reduced internal browing , but had no obvious effects on contents of titratable acid and
  total soluble solids. The potential to use 1-MCP for storage and transport of nectarine and peach can be expected.

• The changes of carbohydrate accumulation in leaves and stems of the Zizania latifolia were studied on two typical varieties at their different growth and development stages. The allocation of photosynthesis assimilates in different organs was also determined by using ¹⁴C-labeling technique. The results showed that , before the Zizania gall expanding , the accumulation of total sugar , reducing sugar and starch increased continuously and the greatest amount of carbon assimilates were observed to be accumulated in the culm , as compared with that in other organs. When Zizania gall began to expand , the carbohydrate in other organs stopped accumulation. Most carbohydrates stored in culm were remobilized. The culm serves as stored organs for remobilized assimilates to the growth of Zizania gall . Starch is the main formfor stored carbohydrate , and most of ¹⁴C assimilates was prefixed in culm before pregnant . The accumulated carbohydrate in the up leaf and sheath of plant was higher than that of its low leaf and sheath. During the period of Zizania gall expanding , most of prefixed-¹⁴C was remobilized into gall . The labeled assimilates fixed by leaves supplied not only for its straws but also for the other parts of the plant .

• Sweetsop fruits after harvest were sensitive to storage temperature. At room temperature (26 -33 ℃) , the shelf-life of the fruit was only 3 days. With a decrease of storage temperature , the climacteric peaks of respiration and ethylene release of the fruits were delayed , and the cell membrane permeability and the activities of pectin nethylesterase in the pulp decreased. As a result , the shelf-life was extended to 15 days with a optimal storage
  temperature of 10 ℃. Below 10 ℃, the fruit did not ripen completely and showed chilling injury. Activities of PPO, POD , SOD and CAT of harvested sweetsop were low , and all decreased rapidly before appearance of fruit softening.

• Two 215 bp myb gene fragments,LeMYB1 and LeMYB2 with GenBank accession No. AY131230 and AY131231 respectively , were cloned through RT - PCR. The primers were designed in accordance with tobacco myb1 at the DNA-binding domain conserved in MYB , and the template was the RNA isolated from tomato seedlings showing hypersensitive responses (HR) . Only nucleotide 63 was different between the two fragments , of which LeMYB1 was A and LeMYB2 was G. Three nucleotides within the primers for cloning of LeMYB1 were different between LeMYB1 and counterpart of THM18,whereas 90.7% nucleotide sequence of LeMYB1 was identical to corresponding parts of tobacco myb1. Northern assay revealed that expression of LeMYB1-related genes were
  induced upon occurrence of hypersensitive necrosis in tomato seedlings and enhanced henceforth. Their coincident expression with HR development in tomato indicated that LeMYB1-related genes might be involved in regulation of
  HR and disease resistance conferred by tomato fungal resistance gene Cf-9.

• Abstract ( 1574 ) HTML ( 1278 ) PDF (214KB) ( 1278 ) 　　　
• The chromosome number and size of two intergeneric hybridized combinations between Magnolia and Michelia in Magnoliaceae were studied in this paper. Magnolia liliflora is a tetraploid species with a chromosome number of 2n = 4x = 76 , Michelia yunnanensis is diploid species with a chromosome number of 2n = 2x = 38.The intergeneric hybridized combination , Magnolia liliflora ( ♀) ×Michelia yunnanensis ( ♂) , is triploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 3x = 57 , which was a half of the total chromosome number of its two parents. Of
  which , 38 chromosomes from M. liliflora are smaller , and 19 chromosomes from M. yunnanensis are larger.So , the hybrid was confirmed to be crossbreeding filial generation of M. liliflora and M. yunnanensis. Michelia sphaerantha is a diploid species with a chromosome number of 2n = 2x = 38. Magnolia grandiflora is a hexaploid species with a chromosome number of 2n = 6x = 114. The intergeneric hybridized combination , M. sphaerantha ( ♀) ×M. grandiflora ( ♂) , is a diploid with a chromosome number of 2n = 2x = 38 , which is the same to that of its female parent , M. sphaerantha , in number and size. So , the hybridized combination is not a real hybrid , and the filial generation may be resulted from apomixes. The study showed that cytological method is one of efficient measures applied to early identification in crossbreeding of Magnoliaceae. The cross - compatibility indicated that Michelia is closely allied with Magnolia subgenus Yulania and is far allied with Magnolia subgenus Magnolia in phylogeny.
