  • It is one of the key practices for the high efficiency mode of apple production to properly select and combine scion and rootstocks. Flower formation and plant shaping of apple sapling are the important indexes to evaluate their performances,which was closely related to the root distributions with these combinations. With three year young trees from 8 kinds of typical scion-rootstock combinations as its subjects,this study investigated root distributions with the different scion-rootstock combinations by sectoral digging and trenching. The results showed that:the root architecture of young trees from 8 kinds of typical scion-rootstock combinations were classified into five types,M dwarfing rootstock combinations,SH dwarfing rootstock combinations,vigorous rootstock combinations,M dwarfing interstock combina- tions and SH dwarfing interstock combinations. It showed that the roots of the apple saplings with three years distributed horizontally and vertically within the limits of 0–60 cm,and the further away from their trunks and the deeper into soil,the less dense they distributed. With the different scion-rootstock combinations,the longest roots were roots with diameters of < 2 mm,followed by roots with diameters of 2–5 mm,and the shortest roots were those with diameters of more than 10 mm. There were more thick roots and less fibrous roots with the arborescent seedling root stocks than with the dwarfing clone rootstocks. Among the dwarfing rootstocks,fibrous roots dominated with the M rootstocks and less with the SH and Qingzhen rootstocks. Of the trees,stem diameters and crown diameters,but significantly positively correlated with the branch number,short-shoot proportion and flower bud number. Evaluations of the scion-rootstock combinations in terms of flower formation and plant shaping indicated that in irrigation-available regions of the Weibei Highlands,the trees from the M rootstock and interstock were able to set fruits early and easy to shape;the trees from the SH rootstock were easy to shape and poorly performed in early fruit set;and the trees from the arborescent combinations performed most poorly in early fruit set,which was closely related to the root distributions with these scion-rootstock combinations.

  • Abstract ( 331 ) HTML ( 555 ) PDF (3879KB) ( 555 )    
  • Two four-year-old Beta grafted grape cultivarsJingmi’(Vitis viniferaJingmi’,a low light tolerant cultivarandSummer Black’(V. iniferaV. labruscaSummer Black’,a low light intolerant cultivarwere sampled to study the grape flower buds differentiation of cultivars with different tolerance 

    to low lightwhich can be used as theoretical foundation to solve the problem ofalternate bearingunder protected cultivation to promote early maturing. The bud differentiation process at the 2nd to 7th nodes was observed by the paraffin section technique and the relating developmental process figure of sample dates and differentiation ratios was also made. The results indicate that:(1The formation of inflorescence main axis can be used as the mark for the beginning of the flower buds differentiation.2The period from the young shoots having two leaf primordium to the formation of anlagenwhich can also be called the stage of physiological differentiationwas key to inducing the flower buds differentiationand the period of anlagen differentiation and after it breaking up to two branches was the key stage to regulate flower buds differentiation for the grape under greenhouse.3The synchronous development of the growing point at young shoots and the anlagen of buds was essential for flower buds differentiation. High activeness of vegetative growth of the growing point at young shoots can inhibit the flower bud differentiationwhich might lead the problem ofalternate bearing.4The weak light resistant cultivarJingmihas high adaptability to protected cultivation to promote early maturing. Each stage of differentiation of their buds at each node was short and barely overlapped. The flower buds differentiation ofJingmi’,without evident difference of buds differentiation abilitywas beginning at the basal nodes of shootand the differentiation of high nodes was latebut fast. The usual pruning measurements leaving the 2nd or 3rd bud could get sustainable production for protected cultivation to promote early maturing. By contrastthe weak light unresistant cultivarSummer Blackcannot completely adapt to the environment of early maturation cultivation. Each stage of the differentiation of the buds at each node was long and some of them overlapped irregularly. Although the number of flower buds increased and their quality improved graduallythe number and quality of flower buds from the 2nd to 7th nodes couldn’t meet the commercial production demands and the problem ofalternate bearingwas still serious. Necessary measurements like renewal pruning are needed to keep the sustainable production of protected cultivation to promote early maturing for this cultivar.

  • Abstract ( 318 ) HTML ( 689 ) PDF (3345KB) ( 689 )    
  • In this study,a NAC gene,VvDRL1,was isolated from Vitis vinifera‘Yatomi Rosa’. The length of full VvDRL1 was 840 bp,encoding 280 amino acids,which shared a 100% similarity in cRNA and 6 single nucleotide mutation in DNA with‘Pinot Noir’. Subcellular localization showed that VvDRL1 is a nuclear protein. Transgenic tobacco with VvDRL1 was obtained by Agrobacterium-mediated method. Compared with the wild type,the growth of T2-generation transgenic tobacco presented delayed with the plant height,leaf area and mesophyll cells area of about 60%,34% and 31% in comparison with wild tobacco plants. In addition,the transgenic tobacco showed curly leaves. Through paraffin sections observation,it is found that the upper epidermis in main leaf veins of transgenic tobacco lacked 2–3 layers sclerenchyma cells and had significantly more space in the spongy tissue compared with the wild type. Based on the above study,it is inferred that VvDRL1 gene play an important role in the regulation of plant morphological development.

  • Abstract ( 327 ) HTML ( 843 ) PDF (1704KB) ( 843 )    
  • Taking the seedlings of cucumber cultivar‘Jinchun 4as experimental material and using irrigation root method,this paper studied the effect of exogenous melatonin(MT)on the antioxidant system of cucumber seedlings under nitrate stress,providing theoretical basis and reference for the application of MT in vegetable protected production. The results showed that under the nitrate stress the leaf superoxide radical()production rate,hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)and malonadehyde(MDA)contents of the cucumber seedling increased significantly;the contents and the activities of ascorbic acid(AsA)and glutathione(GSH)had a decrease. The activities of superoxide radical(SOD),perxidase(POD),ascorbate peroxidase(APX)and glutathione(GR)in the seedling leaves under nitrate stress increaded markly,with the maximun after 3 d stress. The activities of catalase(CAT)had a maximum after 6d stress and the activities of dehydroascorbate reductase(DHAR)had a maximum after 9 d stress,while the activities of monodehydroascorbate reductase(MDHAR)decreased persistently under the nitrate stress. The exogenous melatonin could significantly decrease the leaf superoxide radical()production rate,hydrogen peroxide(H2O2)content and malonaldehyde(MDA)content,but increase ascorbic acid(AsA)and glutathione(GSH)contents,improve the activities of superoxide radical(SOD),peroxidase(POD),catalase(CAT),ascorbate peroxidase(APX),monodehydroascorbate reductase(MDHAR),dehydroascorbate reductase(DHAR)and glutathione(GR). In addtion,it added photosynthetic rate and maked accumulation of the leaf dry matter. These results suggest that exogenous melatonin can effectively alleviate the damage of cucumber seedlings and improve the resistance of cucumber seedling under the nitrate stress,and the exogenous melatonin which of concentration was 100 μmol · L-1 is the most effecttive.

  • Significant difference in adventitous root numberARNswas found between waterlogging tolerant line Zaoer-N and waterlogging sensitive line Pepino after 72 hours of waterlogging treatmentthe average number of ARNs generated in Zaoer-N was 24.6but only 1.5 in Pepino. Cucumis sativus calcium-dependent protein kinase 5CsCDPK5was cloned from the two lineswhich shared a sequence identity of 100%the length of CsCDPK5 was 1 887 bpand encoded 629 amino acids. It was predicted that the molecular mass of this protein was 59.17 kDand pI was 5.65. CsCDPK5 protein was predicted to be localized in cytoplasm. The two lines shared a sequence identity of 99% in promoter sequenceand include 14 single nucleotide polymorphisms. Both of the two lines contained cis-acting regulatory elements essential for phytohormone and anaerobic inductionwhereas AT-rich sequence and F-box were special in Zaoer-N. The results of quantitative real-time PCR showed that(1) CsCDPK5 was predominantly expressed in hypocotyls(2) CsCDPK5 transcripts were upregulated at the beginning followed a slight down regulated in both hypocotyls of Zaoer-N and Pepino during waterlogging treatmentbut higher in the former than latter(3) CsCDPK5 transcripts were irregular in roots and leaves of both lines(4) compared with controlsno significant changes were observed in CsCDPK5 transcripts when pretreatment with 1-MCP. In conclusionCsCDPK5 is a waterlogging responsive gene and significant difference in transcripts were observed in hypocotyls of Zaoer-N and Pepino during waterloggingand might play an important role in waterlogging-induced adventitious root formation.

  • Two CBF/DREB1 genes named CcCBFc and CcCBFd were isolated from Cinnamomum camphora with the help of homologous cloning strategy and RACE(rapid amplification of cDNA ends)technique,and their GenBank accession numbers are KP336741 and KP336742,respectively. The full-length cDNA sequences of the two CcCBF genes were 897 and 1 010 bp,including an open reading frame(ORF)of 654 and 621 bp,respectively,and no introns existed in their coding regions. The CcCBFc and CcCBFd genes encode 217 and 206 amino acids with predicted molecular masses of 24.0 and 22.9 kD,and pI of 5.01 and 5.11. CcCBFc and CcCBFd were classified into the CBF/DREB1 subfamily,and had relatively close evolutionary relationship with dicotyledons,according to the homology comparison and phylogeny tree analysis of the deduce amino acids sequences with other CBF/DREB homologues. The expression level of both CcCBFc and CcCBFd could be upregulated by all tested treatments such as cold (4 ℃),drought(20% PEG),salinity(250 mmol ? L-1 NaCl)and ABA(100 μmol ? L-1). The observations presented in this study might indicate that both CcCBFc and CcCBFd were involved in response to various abiotic stresses.

  • This paper introduce a fast size measurement system for pear fruit. By using computer digital image processing technology,an indirect digital measuring model based on standard objects was firstly built,then,a size measuring software kit of pear fruit phenotypes was developed by using AForge.net class libraries and MatLab image processing tools. Finally,the artificial measuring results were used to check the model and the software kit. Measurement results of software kit showed no significant differences with the control(manual measurement),neither in the case of single/multiple object(s)in one image file,nor in the case of fruits with different sizes. The software kit could be used to identify and measure multiple phenotypes of multiple pear fruits accurately in one 2D picture precisely,such as fruit height,fruit width,fruit shape index,fruit sectional area,fruit core height,fruit core width and stalk length,etc. In addition,this size measurement system is rapid,accurate and easy to use,which could be applied for the phenotypic analysis of other similarly sized fruits,like peach & tomato,and for other organs,such as seed and leaf. Besides,the image acquisition device and image editing tools can help researchers to establish normative phenotypic image data sets,which should be promote the standardization and informationization of phenotypic analysis work.

  • Abstract ( 308 ) HTML ( 978 ) PDF (723KB) ( 978 )    
  • To understand the codon bias of auxin receptor gene TIR1,one TIR1 gene of Dimocarpus longan was analyzed by CodonW,SPSS and EMBOSS online program,and then compared with another longan genes,TIR1 genes from 29 plant species and genomes of model organisms. The results showed that the codon bias levels of TIR1 and genome of Dimocarpus longan were low,and they were bias toward the synonymous codons with A and T at third codon position. The cluster tree of TIR1 based on CDS could reveal the evolutionary relationship much better among different species than the result analyzed by RSCU(Relative Synonymous Codon Usage). According to codon usage frequency,the yeast expression system was more suitable for heterologous expression of TIR1,and the difference of codon bias between D. longan TIR1 gene and model plant genomes were not significant,but Nicotiana sylvestris and Solanum lycopersicum may be the best receptors for transgenosis of this gene.

  • The typical Fusarium crown root rot(FCRR)infected tomato plants were collected in growers’ greenhouse in Shouguang,Shandong Province in 2014. The pathogen was isolated and catagaried according to the morphology and the sequence of internal transcribed spacer region of the ribosomal DNA(ITS). The result showed that the pathogen of the disease was identified as Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. radicis-lycopersici. The cleaved amplified polymorphic sequence(CAPS)marker C2-25 for FCRR resistance gene Frl,which was derived from Solanum peruvianum,were tested in 25 germplasms without typical FCRR symptom,in which 19 homozygous,2 heterozygous resistants and 4 homozygous susceptible plants were found. Moreover,molecular marker test showed good agreement with the artificial pathogen inoculation results.
