- Abstract:A haploid inducer CAUYFP was used to induce hybrid Zhengdan958 and generate immature haploid embryos.Immature haploid embryos were treated with APM to evaluate in vitro chromosome doubling efficiency.The results showed that haploid identification accuracy through the difference of fluorescence intensity was higher than 93%.The efficiency of regeneration through callus and non-callus direct germination pathway were 11.6% and 96.8%respectively, which proved that direct germination was simpler and more efficient.The pollen-shedding rate were 9.5%, 18.5%, 37.0% under the treatment with different APM concentrations of 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 μ mol/L.Significant differences were discovered among APM treatments, while no pollen-shedding plants were found in the control, indicating that doubling agent APM can significantly increase the chromosome doubling efficiency of immature haploid embryos.Keywords:maize;immature haploid embryo;chromosome doubling;pollen-shedding rate;amiprophos-methyl0|8|0<HTML><L-PDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2024-02-27
- Abstract:The relationship among anther extrusion, anther size and pollen fertility in a maize haploid population was investigated to predict pollen sterility by anther traits.A maize haploid population derived from two elite inbred lines FAPW and BN490A was used to observe the relationship among anther extrusion, anther size and pollen sterility using t test, correlation analysis, and etc.The male doubling rate in maize haploid was rather low (28.2%).The pollen from most haploid plants with extruded anther (81.3%) and a small number of haploid plants with unextruded anther (15.6%) is fertile.The anther of haploid plants with fertile pollen is bigger than that with sterile pollen, but the pollen fertility did not simultaneously rise with the increase of anther size in haploid plants with fertile pollen.Male fertility in maize haploid can be estimated by the expose of anther or the anther size in the process of spontaneous haploid doubling.Keywords:maize;haploid;anther size;pollen fertility0|8|0<HTML><L-PDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2024-02-27

- Abstract:In order to explore the effects of exogenous beneficial microorganisms inoculation on chrysanthemum growth and soil conditions under continuous cropping.We inoculated chrysanthemum ‘Yuka’ with Super ER·MI microorganism, and investigated the changes of the growth and nutrient absorption of plant and the soil nutrient.The results showed that inoculation with Super ER·MI microbial agent could promote the growth of chrysanthemum ‘Yuka’, but has no significant effect on plant height, stem diameter and number of leaves.Super ER·MI microbial agent enhance the absorption of nutrients chrysanthemum ‘Yuka’ effectively, improve the ornamental quality of cut chrysanthemum, make inflorescence diameter increases, and increase the proportion of superior grade flowers.Super ER·MI microorganism could reduce nitrogen accumulation in the shallow soil and improve soil environment by promoting ‘Yuka’ to absorb nitrogen in 0-20 cm soil layer.In addition, Super ER·MI microorganism could improve the nutrient content in 20-40 cm soil layer, but has no effect on nitrogen and phosphorus content except potassium in 40-60 cm soil layer.Inoculating the Super ER·MI microorganism without additional substrate is better method:, Aboveground fresh/dry weight of chrysanthemum and proportion of first-grade flowers increased significantly;the diameter of inflorescence enlarged;And the uptake of N, P, K were improved distinctively.Keywords:chrysanthemum;continuous cropping;microorganism;soil;nutrients1|8|0<HTML><L-PDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2024-02-27

- Abstract:Border irrigation experiments were conducted to study the effect of regulated deficit irrigation, which means 33% or 67% of full irrigation water at flowering and fruit-bearing period, on the plant growth, yield and quality of tomato in Hetao Irrigaton District.The results showed that:Water deficit at flowering stage increased soil electrical conductivity (EC) significantly, while the increase was not obvious at fruit-bearing period;The firmness of fruit was significantly increased, hence improved its storage performance;The taste quality indicators (total soluble solids, organic acids and sugar acid ratio) and nutritional quality index (vitamin C, soluble sugar and lycopene) were higher than those of CK, and greater with the increase of the deficit degree.However, only SS and VC under severe deficit reached significant difference;Under mild deficit condition, merit at fruit-bearing period is more obvious than that at flowering period, and the yield and water productivity increased by 10.25% and 7.28% than full irrigation, respectively.In conclusion, in order to achieve the highest yield and water productivity and improve the appearance quality, storage quality, taste quality and nutrition quality of fruit, mild deficit at flowering stage was most reasonable for tomato under border irrigation in Hetao Irrigaton District.Keywords:regulated deficit irrigation;border irrigation;processing tomato;effective yield;quality0|8|0<HTML><L-PDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2024-02-27

- Abstract:Cointegration analysis, granger causality test, VAR model, impulse response function and ridge regression are adopted to study the impact of factor price changes on agriculture energy efficiency.The results show that:There is a long-term equilibrium relationship between energy factor, capital factor and the price of factor labor and agricultural energy efficiency;Three factor prices are Granger-cause of the agricultural energy efficiency, while the reverse Granger causality does not exist;Energy and labor prices have a positive impact on energy efficiency, which improve energy efficiency by 0.341% and 0.364% when raised by 1%, respectively.On the contrary, capital prices have a negative impact on energy efficiency, which improve energy efficiency by 0.084% when decreased by 1%.In order to improve agricultural energy efficiency by the price means we should further promote market-oriented reform of factor prices to form an effective price restraint mechanism and accelerate the upgrading of industrial structure of agriculture.Keywords:factor price;agricultural energy efficiency;long-term equilibrium relationship;Grainger-cause;ridge regression;price restraint mechanism2|7|0<HTML><L-PDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2024-02-27
- Abstract:To explore the effect of rural labor transfer on environment in China, which have been paid less attention compared with that on economics.Based on the panel data of 31 provinces of China over the year of 2004-2013, the relationship between rural labor transfer and non-point source pollution from agricultural fertilizer application was analyzed by using the STIRPAT model.The results show that:The rural labor transferring has positive impacts on the fertilizer input non-point source pollution, and along with the rural labor transferring, the intensity of fertilizer input non-point source pollution subsequently increases;Because of the increase rate of fertilizer input the non-point source pollution was higher than that of rural labor transfer itself, and the rural labor transferring would continue to amplify the increase of fertilizer input non-point source pollution.Based on this study, we suggested that more attention needs to be paid on the consequences of rural labor transfer in addition to application of non-point source pollution management technology.Keywords:rural labor transferring;excessive fertilizer use;agricultural non-point source pollution;STIRPAT model2|10|0<HTML><L-PDF> <Meta-XML>Updated:2024-02-27
