Histone Deacetylases gene MdHDA19(MDP0000132078)was cloned from‘Gala’apple. Its ORF was 1 494 bp,which encoded 497 amino acids. The molecular mass of this protein was 55.73 kD,and pI was 4.98. The phylogenetic tree indicated that the HDA19 had sequence conservation among different species. MdHDA19 exhibited the highest sequence similarity with Theobroma cacao TcHDA19 (87.05%). The MdHDA19 gene was expressed in all the tissues of apple,especially in root and flower. The MdHDA19 interacted with MdSAT18. The NaCl stress induces the expression level of MdHDA19. MdHDA19 might involve NaCl stress response. The resulted showed that MdHDA19 gene was induced in low temperature(4 ℃)and high temperature(40 ℃). In addition,the MdHDA19 recombinant protein was obtained. The results established the foundation for the further functions research of MdHDA19 protein.
Two four-year-old Beta grafted grape cultivars‘Jingmi’(Vitis vinifera‘Jingmi’,a low light tolerant cultivar)and‘Summer Black’(V. inifera–V. labrusca‘Summer Black’,a low light intolerant cultivar)were sampled to study the grape flower buds differentiation of cultivars with different tolerance
to low light,which can be used as theoretical foundation to solve the problem of‘alternate bearing’under 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:(1)The formation of inflorescence main axis can be used as the mark for the beginning of the flower buds differentiation.(2)The period from the young shoots having two leaf primordium to the formation of anlagen,which can also be called the stage of physiological differentiation,was key to inducing the flower buds differentiation,and 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.(3)The 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 differentiation,which might lead the problem of‘alternate bearing’.(4)The weak light resistant cultivar‘Jingmi’has 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 of‘Jingmi’,without evident difference of buds differentiation ability,was beginning at the basal nodes of shoot,and the differentiation of high nodes was late,but fast. The usual pruning measurements leaving the 2nd or 3rd bud could get sustainable production for protected cultivation to promote early maturing. By contrast,the weak light unresistant cultivar‘Summer Black’cannot 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 gradually,the number and quality of flower buds from the 2nd to 7th nodes couldn’t meet the commercial production demands and the problem of‘alternate bearing’was still serious. Necessary measurements like renewal pruning are needed to keep the sustainable production of protected cultivation to promote early maturing for this cultivar.
Ziziphus jujuba‘Zhandong 1’and‘Zhandong 2’were chosen as the experimental material. The experimental materials were separately irrigated with magnetized fresh water and underground shallow saline water to test the influence of magnetized fresh water on the growth of bearing shoot,the growth and nutrient content of leaves and fruits. The results showed that:(1)Magnetized water irrigation treatment could improve the fresh weight of leaf,leaf area,chlorophyll content,organic acid,vitamin C and anthocyanin content significantly,and prolong the fruits storage period.(2)In the trial plot of Z. jujuba‘Zhandong 1’,treatment with magnetized(A400p) fresh water irrigation could increase the length and diameter of bearing shoot by 11.375% and 15.810%,single leaf area by 12.418%,single fruit weight by 23.779%,water content by 2.377%,fruit transverse diameter and longitudinal diameter by 3.650% and 5.071%. It had a significant difference(P < 0.05)compared with the un-magnetized fresh water irrigation treatment. In the trial plot of Z. jujuba‘Zhandong 2’,treatment with fresh water magnetized by imported magnetizer(A400p)could increase the length and diameter of bearing shoot by 23.602% and 13.710%,single leaf area by 23.622%,thickness by 13.825%,single fruit weight by 12.526% and fruits reducing sugar by 12.110%. It also had a significant difference(P < 0.05)compared with the un-magnetized fresh water irrigation treatment. (3)Treatment with magnetized(DS-948-1) underground shallow saline water irrigation could increase fruits water content by 4.386% and reducing sugar content by 9.158%. It also had a significant difference(P < 0.05)compared with the un-magnetized shallow saline water irrigation treatment.(4)The irrigation water treatment with magnetized could increase the leaf mineral nutrient content of N,P and Cu significantly(P < 0.05). Irrigating with magnetized fresh water had good function to the growth and development of branch leaves and fruits,and improved the quality and storage of fruits.
This experiment was based on the changes between the content of anthocyanins and the activities of biosynthetic enzymes in blueberry during the development,which aimed at further testing accumulations of anthocyanins and other phenolic compounds in blueberry and the enzyme activities,transcriptional level of anthocyanin biosynthetic gene under the environmental stimulus of UV-A,UV-B,UV-C with the veraison fruit of 3-year old blueberry‘Northland’. The results indicated that three types of UV irradiation both significantly induced the accumulation of anthocyanins in blueberry,especially UV-C,increased by 236% after irradiation. In addition,the activities of PAL,UFGT and the expression of VcPAL,VcUFGT mRNA were induced by UV irradiation,but the enzyme activity,transcriptional level of VcDFR were suppressed. Among them,PAL,UFGT enzyme activities were significantly positively correlated with the accumulation of anthocyanin(r = 0.807**,r = 0.894**),while DFR was the opposite(r =–0.854**). The results suggest that UV irradiation can induced some key genes,which responded to UV treatment,transcriptional enhancement(such as VcPAL,VcUFGT)or inhibition(such as VcDFR),and affected the changes of the corresponding enzyme activities,which resulted in the accumulation of anthocyanin and other phenolic compounds.
In this experiment,the genetic populations including P1,P2,F1 and F2 were generated by using green fruit tomato inbred line‘Lüying’and red fruit tomato inbred line‘TTD
multi-gene of quantitative traits genetic analysis method in plant. The analysis results showed that the genetics of tomato fruit color between green and red may be accord with the additive-dominance-epitasis major gene plus additive-dominance polygene(MX2-ADI-AD model). Among them,the two main gene was given priority to with additive effect,and the first a pair of main gene additive effect is more apparent. For F2 generation,the genetic rate of main gene genetic rate was 76%–89% and the multi-genes was near 0. The artificial selection to fruit color of tomato should be carried out in the early generations.
Taking the seedlings of cucumber cultivar‘Jinchun 4’as 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.
