Changes in Physiological Characteristics and Cellular Structures of Tea Plant Leaves during Overwintering at Different Altitudes in Xinyang ZHANG Lintao, LUO Jinlei, HUANG Shuangjie, CHEN Yi, SUN Mufang, GUO Guiyi Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (9): 61-71.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.09.007 Abstract （974）      PDF （14845KB）（56）       Knowledge map    Save To clarify the low‑temperature stress response mechanisms of tea plants at different altitudes，we studied the Xinyang group species in the Shihe District of Xinyang City，Henan Province，at altitudes of 100 m and 600 m. We analyzed the photosynthetic characteristics，antioxidant enzyme activities，membrane lipid peroxidation levels，and tissue cell structure changes of tea leaves during the overwintering period. Results showed that during the pre‑winter（T1），mid‑winter（T2），and late‑winter（T3）stages，the net photosynthetic rate of low‑altitude tea plants was 0.6，1.5，and 1.2 times higher than that of high‑altitude tea plants，respectively. Chlorophyll content in low‑altitude plants was 36.91% and 48.19% higher than in high‑altitude plants during T2 and T3.Low‑altitude plants also exhibited more intact chloroplast structures.Throughout the overwintering period，superoxide dismutase（SOD）activity in leaves of tea plants at both altitudes first increased and then decreased，peaking in T2.During T1，T2，and T3，SOD activity in high‑altitude tea leaves was 25.20%，27.05%，and 20.59% higher than in low‑altitude tea leaves，respectively.However，catalase（CAT）activity in high‑altitude tea leaves was 27.27%，29.48%，and 26.64% lower than in low‑altitude leaves. Peroxidase（POD）activity showed a trend similar to that of CAT activity.The malondialdehyde（MDA）content of high‑altitude plants in T2 and T3 was significantly higher than that of low‑altitude plants，increasing by 72.21% and 77.04%，respectively.Structural observations revealed that the mesophyll thickness of high‑altitude tea plants increased significantly in T2 and T3，rising by 10.19% and 10.47% compared to T1.The stomatal opening rate and open area of high‑altitude plants decreased significantly in T2.Compared between the two altitudes，low‑altitude tea leaves had higher cell wall thickness and stomatal density，averaging 36.92% and 22.52% higher than high‑altitude tea leaves，respectively.In conclusion，low‑altitude tea plants adapt to low‑temperature environments by maintaining high photosynthetic efficiency and antioxidant capacity，as well as by enhancing cell wall and stomatal structures.In contrast，high‑altitude tea plants optimize water management by increasing mesophyll thickness and adjusting stomatal opening，although this may come at the cost of reduced photosynthetic efficiency.

The nitrate nitrogen residue in soil gradually increased with the increase of nitrogen fertilizer application rate. Compared with S treatment，R treatment increased the nitrate nitrogen residue in surface soil in wide row area（maize planting area）at mature stage of winter wheat.The nitrate nitrogen residue in 0—40 cm soil layer（maize root layer）of N180 treatment was 55.95 kg/ha，which was the best matching with the nitrogen demand of subsequent maize at seedling stage.In summary，under the wide‑narrow row planting，the combination of nitrogen application rate of 180 kg/ha and strip application is a cultivation measure for winter wheat to save nitrogen，stabilize yield and improve efficiency in this study area.

Cherry radish was selected as the test crop，and seven treatment levels were set up［insect feces sand was added at 0%（CK），10%（T1），20%（T2），40%（T3），50%（TN），80%（T4），and 100%（T5）of soil weight］to study its effects on soil physicochemical properties，soil Cr and As content，and soil enzyme activity. At the same time，its effect on photosynthetic indicators，heavy metal content in edible parts，and plant enzyme activity of cherry radish were analyzed.The results showed that with the increase of application rate of P.brevitarsis larvae frass sand，soil pH value，heavy metals Cr and As content showed a decreasing trend，while conductivity，organic matter content，available nitrogen content，available phosphorus content，soil urease activity，invertase activity，and catalase activity significantly increased（P<0. 05）.Cherry radish showed reduced absorption of Cr and As，improved photosynthetic indicators（relative chlorophyll content，leaf nitrogen content），and increased antioxidant enzyme（superoxide dismutase，peroxidase，catalase）activity. The redundancy analysis results showed that soil organic matter content was the core driving factor（with a contribution rate of 83.0%），indicating its central role in soil fertility.In summary，the P.brevitarsis larvae frass sand could enhance the adsorption capacity of soil heavy metals（Cr，As）by regulating soil physical and chemical properties，improving soil fertility and soil enzyme activity，and could effectively reduce the bioavailability of heavy metals，alleviating the toxicity to cherry radishes.Among them，adding insect feces sand at 80% of soil weight（T4 treatment）has a better effect on soil remediation and plant safety production.

Evaluation of Growth Characteristics and Resource Status of Dominant Fish Species in Henan Section of the Main Stream of the Yellow River ZHANG Qingqing, HE Haizhan, FANG Dongdong, MA Chao, WANG Zhaoping, YANG Hui, HUI Jun Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (10): 131-140.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.10.014 Abstract （403）      PDF （3257KB）（76）       Knowledge map    Save To evaluate the growth dynamics and utilization status of fish resources in the Henan section of the main stream of the Yellow River，fish resources were investigated in 11 sections of Henan section of the main stream of the Yellow River in June（summer）and October（autumn）of 2023，January（winter）and May（spring）of 2024. Growth and mortality parameters as well as resource utilization status were analyzed for five dominant fish species Parabramis pekinensis，Carassius auratus，Hemiculter leucisculus，Pseudobrama simoni，Cyprinus carpio by using FiSAT Ⅱ software.The Beverton‐Holt dynamic comprehensive model was applied to assess management strategies. The results showed that the growth index（b）of the five fish species ranged from 3.02 to 3.22，exhibiting positive allometric growth.The growth coefficient（K）was 0.39—0.93，so all of them were rapid growth type.The growth performance index（φ'） was 4.02—5.41.The resource exploitation rate of four fish species，except for Cyprinus carpio，were all lower than the exploitation rate which produces maximum sustainable yield，suggesting that the stocks were not over‐exploited. The results of the Bverton‐Hort dynamic comprehensive model showed that the current catchable body length of Cyprinus carpio was relatively smaller，and increasing the catchable body length was more conducive to the recovery of fish resources than reducing the fishing intensity.Optimal resource protection and management would be achieved by setting size‐at‐first‐capture limits at 236 mm for Parabramis pekinensis，165 mm for Carassius auratus，89 mm for Hemiculter leucisculus，86 mm for Pseudobrama simoni，and 490 mm for Cyprinus carpio.In summary，in the Henan section of the the main stream of the Yellow River，the growth rate of the five dominant fish species showes an accelerating trend；Cyprinus carpio resources are overexploited.

Comprehensive analysis showed that in Nanwan Reservoir Hemiculter leucisculus，Toxabramis swinhonis，and Xenocypris davidi was the dominant species. Based on the PINKAS relative importance index（IRI），a total of 10 major fish species were identified.There were spatio‑temporal variations in fish diversity in the Nanwan Reservoir.The Margalef species richness index in spring（2.78）was slightly higher than that in autumn（2.67），whereas the Shannon‑wiener diversity index，Pielou evenness index and Simpson dominance index in autumn were significantly higher than in spring，and the fish species diversity was significantly higher in the central reservoir area. Spatio‑temporal niche analysis revealed that Chanodichthys dabryi（1.254），X.davidi（1.073），and Sarcocheilichthys sciistius（1.024）exhibited moderate niche width index，while other species showed low niche width index.Among spatiotemporal niche overlap index，18 species pairs（40% of total pairs）showed high overlap index（Qik>0.6），and 11 pairs（24.4%）exhibited low overlap index（Qik<0.3）.The highest spatiotemporal overlap occurred between Pseudorasbora parva and Carassius auratus（0.922），while P.parva and T.swinhonis，despite having similar ecological habits，displayed low overlap index（0.249）.In conclusion，the dominant fish species with significant differences in feeding habits and living water layers in the Nanwan Reservoir show a more stable community structure；fish species with similar feeding habits but different living spaces have higher spatial and temporal overlap index.Fish species with similar feeding habits and living water layers may have reduced spatial and temporal overlap index due to niche competition，accompanied by significant population fluctuations.

Analysis of Biocontrol Effects of Mycoviruses on Sesame Stem Rot WANG Jing, NI Yunxia, HE Bipo, ZHANG Chunyan, ZHAO Hui, LIU Xintao, ZHAO Xinbei, LIU Hongyan Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (10): 102-109.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.10.011 Abstract （385）      PDF （26058KB）（51）       Knowledge map    Save Sesame stem rot is caused by the fungal pathogen Macrophomina phaseolina，and is the significant disease of sesame. Previous studies have found that M.phaseolina carries abundant resources of mycoviruses，while while the hypovirulent mycovirus is the green solution to control crop disease.In order to obtain the biocontrol strains against sesame stem rot，the biological characteristics of three hypovirulent strains（2012‐19，2012‐22，2012‐161）carrying mycoviruses were studied，and the strong virulent strain 2012‐63 was used as the control.The pathogenicity was compared by in vitro leaf and in vivo stem inoculation，and the control effect of three hypovirulent strains on sesame stem rot was evaluated by soil inoculation method.The results showed that the colony morphology of the highly virulent strain 2012‐63 on the PDA plate showed radial growth，the aerial mycelium was lush，and the growth rate was 20.44 mm/d；the colony morphology of hypovirulent strains 2012‐19，2012‐22 and 2012‐161 showed irregular growth，with obvious fanning area，and the growth rate was 2.94—13.19 mm/d，and the average growth rate of the three hypovirulent strains was significantly 60.54% lower than that of the highly virulent strain.After five days of inoculation of detached leaves，the lesions of the highly virulent strains had expanded to the entire leaf surface，resulting in browning and decay of the leaf surface，while the three hypovirulent strains only formed 28.26 mm2 lesions at the inoculation site. After 8 days of stem inoculation，the relative area under the disease progression curve（RAUDPC）of the three hypovirulent strains was 2.10—5.90，and the average RAUDPC of the three hypovirulent strains was reduced by 92.27% significantly than high‐virulent strains（45.55）.The indoor pot experiment showed that the control effects of three hypovirulent strains on sesame stem rot were 44.90%，56.40% and 75.30%，respectively，while the control effects of biocontrol agent（Trichoderma harzianum）and chemical agent（50% carbendazim）were 53.65% and 87.10%，respectively.It can be seen that the hypovirulent strain of M.phaseolina carrying the related virus can be used as a biological control resource to control sesame stem rot.

Effects of Exogenous Selenium Addition on Metal Element Accumulation and Edible Safety of Lentinula edodes DUAN Ran, GUO Jie, ZHOU Xiaohua, ZHANG Di, MA Ying, WU Xujin, WANG Tieliang Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (9): 171-180.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.09.018 Abstract （384）      PDF （2479KB）（62）       Knowledge map    Save To investigate the effects of exogenous selenium on the selenium accumulation characteristics and metal element accumulation in the fruiting bodies of Lentinula edodes，two L.edodes varieties，Xiangyang No.2 and Bihua No.1，were used as experimental subjects. A mass fraction gradient of 0—40 mg/kg of exogenous selenium was applied，and the content of selenium，essential metal elements（zinc，iron，manganese，copper，chromium，and nickel），as well as toxic elements（cadmium，arsenic，lead，and mercury）in the fruiting bodies was determined.Pearson correlation analysis and principal component analysis were employed to elucidate the interactions between these elements. Dietary exposure risks were assessed based on estimated daily intake（EDI）and health risk indices（HRI）.The results showed that there was a significant linear positive correlation between the accumulation of selenium in fruiting bodies and the amount of exogenous selenium addition（R2≥0. 985），and the bio‑concentration factors were all >3.10.When the addition amount was 40 mg/kg，the accumulation of selenium in fruiting bodies reached 147.42 mg/kg（Xiangyang No.2）and 124.22 mg/kg（Bihua No.1），respectively.The basic accumulation level of zinc，iron and manganese in the fruiting body of L. edodes was higher. Exogenous selenium significantly increased the accumulation of copper in the fruiting body of Xiangyang No.2，and significantly reduced the accumulation of manganese in the fruiting body of Bihua No.1.Additionally，the nickel accumulation in Xiangyang No.2 fruiting bodies showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing with increasing of selenium addition.When the exogenous selenium addition was ≤2 mg/kg，the accumulation of arsenic and lead in fruiting bodies decreased significantly.When the addition was ≥6 mg/kg，the accumulation of mercury in fruiting bodies decreased with the increase of exogenous selenium addition（decreased by 20.00%—95.00%）.Element interaction analysis showed that selenium was positively correlated with chromium at the 0. 001 level（r=0.78），and negatively correlated with mercury at the 0.001 level（r=-0.73）.Health risk assessment indicated that when the exogenous selenium addition was ≤2 mg/kg，the HRI of selenium in the fruiting bodies was <1，which met the safety threshold.The HRIs of essential metal elements were ≤0.164，and the HRIs of toxic elements were <1.The risk order was arsenic>cadmium>lead≈mercury. In summary，appropriate amount of exogenous selenium（≤2 mg/kg）can not only achieve high‑efficiency selenium biofortification of L.edodes，synergistically regulate the balance of essential metal elements，but also significantly inhibit the accumulation of some toxic elements，thus effectively ensuring the edible safety and nutritional value of selenium‑enriched L.edodes.

Genome‐Wide Identification of the EIN3/EIL Gene Family in Lonicera japonica and Functional Analysis of LjEIL3 under Drought Stress XU Rong, LI Jinlong, CHEN Shuangcheng, ZHAO Danli Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (10): 81-90.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.10.009 Abstract （380）      PDF （12976KB）（44）       Knowledge map    Save Based on Lonicera japonica genome data，bioinformatics was utilized to identify members of the EIN3/EIL gene family in Lonicera japonica，and systematic analyses were conducted on their physicochemical properties，gene structure，gene expression patterns，and stress response.The results indicated that five LjEIL family members were identified at the whole‐genome level in Lonicera japonica，encoding 592 to 682 amino acids，all of which were acidic hydrophilic nuclear proteins. Chromosomal localization revealed that the LjEIL genes were distributed across four chromosomes，and phylogenetic analysis classified them into two subfamilies：Class Ⅰand Class Ⅲ.Gene structure analysis showed that all LjEIL genes contained the typical EIN3 domain，and their exon‐intron composition was relatively simple.61 cis‐acting elements were predicted in the promoter regions of the LjEIL genes，primarily light‐responsive elements and elements such as methyl jasmonate，gibberellin，anaerobic induction，and low‐temperature response were rich. Transcriptome data analysis revealed that the LjEIL genes exhibited typical tissue‐ and developmental stage‐specific expression patterns，with LjEIL3 showing the highest expression levels in mature leaves，shoot tips，and young bud stage. qRT‐PCR results indicated that drought stress could induce the expression of LjEIL genes，with LjEIL3 experiencing the greatest upregulation，and its expression level continued to increase as drought stress duration extended.Furthermore，Arabidopsis plants transformed with the LjEIL3 gene exhibited a significantly higher survival rate after 10 days of simulated drought treatment with 20% polyethylene glycol 6000 compared to the wild type，further confirming the positive regulatory role of LjEIL3 gene in drought stress.In summary，the LjEIL3 gene plays a functional role in regulating plant responses to drought stress，providing important genetic resources for stress‐tolerant molecular breeding in Lonicera japonica.

Evolution of Quality Traits of Wheat Varieties and Difference among Different Regions in China from 2021 to 2024 ZHANG Fan, DONG Junhong, HOU Junhong, LIU Guotao, YANG Chunling Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (11): 18-29.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.11.003 Abstract （358）      PDF （58194KB）（56）       Knowledge map    Save In order to verify the evolution of wheat quality traits and the differences between different regions in recent years，660 national authorized wheat varieties from 11 regions were used to analyze seven quality traits（volumn weight，grain protein content，wet gluten content，stability time，water absorption rate，maximum tensile resistance and extension area）from 2021 to 2024.The results showed that the average volumn weight of wheat kernels was 808 g/L，protein content was 14.1%，wet gluten content was 31.6%，stability time was 6.2 min，water absorption rate was 59.5%，maximum tensile resistance was 383 EU，and extension area was 82 cm2 of 660 national authorized wheat varieties from 11 regions in 2021—2024. The protein content，wet gluten content，water absorption rate and maximum tensile resistance of majority varieties reached the standard of strong gluten wheat，and the main constraining index was stability time. On the whole，the medium gluten wheat varieties were main，and the weak gluten wheat varieties number were the least. Among years，the proportion of medium‑strong gluten varieties generally increased firstly and then stabilized，the proportion of weak gluten wheat decreased，while the proportion of strong gluten wheat showed no obvious pattern；volumn weight，stability time，maximum tensile resistance and extension area generally increased firstly and then decreased，but protein content，wet gluten content and water absorption rate generally decreased. Among 11 regions，strong gluten wheat varieties were mainly distributed in the southern irrigated group（G3）and northern irrigated group（G4）of Huang‑Huai winter wheat area，and weak gluten wheat varieties were only distributed in the upper reach（G1）and the middle and lower reach（G2）of Yangtze River Valley. Among regions，the average protein content was the minimum（12.2%）in G1 region，and was the maximum（14.9%）in the northeastern spring wheat region（G8）and salt‑tolerant winter wheat group in Southern Xinjiang（G11）. The distribution of wet gluten content among 11 regions was consistent with that of protein content. The stability time varied greatly among 11 regions.The average stability time was the highest（7.2 min）in the northwest spring wheat region（G9），and was the lowest（2.4 min）in G1 region. There was no major difference in average water absorption rate among 11 regions. The maximum tensile resistance and tensile area were the smallest in G1 region，followed by G2 region. Correlation analysis showed that except for the correlation between water absorption rate and extension area，there was significant or extremely significant positive correlation among other indexes. The 11 regions were divided into three groups. The group 3 included G3，G4，G5，G7，G9，G10 and G11. The quality traits of the group 3 were better，and most of the quality indexes reached the standard of strong gluten or medium‑strong gluten wheat. Overall，the wheat varieties are mainly medium gluten type in China from 2021 to 2024，followed by middle‑strong gluten and strong gluten types，the weak gluten wheat varieties are extremely rare；the stability time between varieties varies greatly，and there is a large room for improvement，so it is suggested that this trait should be given particular attention in the future breeding process.
