    Abstract:To reveal the molecular mechanisms of petal formation in Paeonia lactiflora,we selected inner and outer petals from P.lactiflora ‘Zi Fengyu’ with anemone type as study object.Using transcriptome sequencing,key gene sequences regulating flower type development were screened.The protein structure and function,subcellular localization were firstly analyzed by bioinformatics method,and then the expression level of petals detected by qPCR.The results showed that two key genes,namely AGAMOUS (AG) and MADS-box protein 2 (MADS2),were determined by sequencing.The protein analysis displayed that AG and MADS2 protein were liposoluble,hydrophilic and unstable.No signal peptide and transmembrane structure indicated two proteins were non-secretory. α-helices were its main elements of the secondary structure and their three-dimensional structure were very similar.Besides,AG and MADS2 protein contained same functional MADS domain.These proteins mostly distributed in other locations rather than in signal peptide secretion pathway.qPCR analysis showed the expression of MADS2 and AG in inner-petal was extremely significant than that in outer-petal.The similarity of AG and MADS2 in protein structure,function and expression suggested that the two proteins probably played same biological functions in the formation process of P.lactiflora petal.

    Vol. 22, Issue 12, (2017) DOI: 10.11841/j.issn.1007-4333.2017.12.15
    Abstract:In order to reduce odor substances emissions during kitchen waste composting process,experiments were designed to investigate the effects of ventilation mode on H2S and NH3 emissions.Aerobic composting of kitchen waste and cornstalks was conducted at a ratio of 85:15(wet weight basis)in 100-L reactors for 30 days.The gas emissions were analyzed with a force aeration at rates of 2.2(T1,continuous ventilation),3.3(T2,run 40 min and stop 20 min) and 6.6(T3,run 20 min and stop 30 min)m3/(m3·h),respectively.The results showed all compost products met with national sanitation standard and reached maturity according to composting temperature.In the case of the same total air volume for three treatments,intermittent ventilation was beneficial to reduce H2S emission,but excessive ventilation increased the total sulfur loss during composting process.The NH3 emission reduced as the ventilation decreased,and ventilation mode had little effect on NH3 emission.Taking comprehensive consideration of non-hazard index,H2S and NH3 emissions,and compost quality,the ventilation mode of 3.3 m3/(m3·h)(run 40 min and stop 20 min) was recommended to be applied to control H2S and NH3 emissions during kitchen waste composting process.

    Abstract:On the basis of provincial panel data of 31 provinces nationwide from 2007 to 2015,this study empirically investigates,which focus on two perspectives of the development of agricultural insurance and the compensation of agricultural insurance are conducted.The effect of policy-supported agricultural insurance on agricultural production via panel quantile regression and the outcome is tested by subsample robustness test.According to the regression outcome,the development of agricultural insurance can significantly improve agricultural production.However,the effect is different by quantile level:In the lower quantile,the development of agricultural insurance has more positive effect on agricultural production.With the increase of quantile,the positive effect of the development of agricultural insurance on agricultural production is gradually diminishing.The effect of the compensation of agricultural insurance on agricultural production is relatively small.Therefore,expanding the coverage of agricultural insurance,especially in the areas of less agricultural production,is important to improve the policy-supported agricultural insurance.Besides,increasing the compensation of agricultural insurance and categories of agricultural insurance is also of great importance to agricultural production.
