Identification of TCP Transcription Factors in Artemisia annua and Analysis of Their Expression Patterns under MeJA Treatment MA Qiyang, SONG Ge Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2024, 53 (12): 62-74.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2024.12.007 Abstract （1583）      PDF （13374KB）（50）       Knowledge map    Save Based on the genome data of Artemisia annua，the TCP gene family members were identified，and their protein physicochemical properties，evolutionary relationships，and cis‑acting elements were analyzed. Transcriptome data were used to analyze the expression pattern of TCP transcription factors in Artemisia annua under different light treatments，and qRT‑PCR was used to detect their expression under methyl jasmonate（MeJA）treatment.The results showed that a total of 29 TCP genes（AaTCPs）were identified. AaTCPs differed greatly in protein physicochemical properties，in which the number of amino acids and protein molecular mass ranged from 132 to 443 and 14.60 to 47.86 ku，respectively，and the isoelectric points，instability indices，and fat coefficients were in the ranges of 5.67 to 9.99，33.28 to 69.77，and 51.70 to 77.40，respectively，and all of them were nuclear proteins.Phylogenetic relationships showed that AaTCPs could be classified into class Ⅰ（11）and class Ⅱ（18），unevenly distributed on eight chromosomes.The Motif number of AaTCPs ranged from 1 to 7，all of them contained one conserved TCP2 structural domain，and a large number of light‑，hormone‑，and stress‑responsive elements were present in their promoters.Protein interaction predictions revealed tight interactions among the protein members of AaTCPs except for AaTCP12 and AaTCP8.Transcriptome data showed that the expression levels of AaTCPs varied under different light treatments，and the expression of most genes was induced by light. qRT‑PCR analysis revealed that the expression of AaTCPs all increased to different degrees under MeJA treatment，showing dynamic changes with the extension of treatment time.In summary，the AaTCP gene family plays a significant role in light regulation and hormone response processes.

Predation Ability and Preference of Arma chinensis against Helicoverpa armigera Larvae CHEN Junhua, LI Feifan, DU Yueqing, XIE Jiaxin, ZHANG Qiaoqiao, WANG Chenxu, GUO Shibao Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (1): 109-118.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.01.011 Abstract （318）      PDF （1762KB）（332）       Knowledge map    Save To explore the biological control potential of Arma chinensis on Helicoverpa armigera larvae，we measured the predatory functional responses and search effects of 3rd—4th instar A.chinensis nymphs and female adults on 2nd—4th instar H.armigera larvae under controlled indoor conditions.We also investigated the intraspecific interference effects of 5th instar A.chinensis nymphs，as well as male and female adults，on predation of 2nd instar H.armigera，along with the predation preferences of female A.chinensis adults for 3rd instar H.armigera larvae versus Tenebrio molitor pupae. The results indicated that both nymphs of the 3rd and 4th instars and female adults were capable of preying on 2nd—4th instar H.armigera，with their predatory response conforming to Holling’s type Ⅱ model.The control efficiency across different developmental stages of A.chinensis was ranked as follows：female adults>4th instar nymphs>3rd instar nymphs.Notably，the amount preyed upon by individuals of the same age decreased as prey age increased，with maximum daily predation rates recorded at 36.778 for female adults，28.351 for 4th instar nymphs，and 26.938 for 3rd instar nymphs targeting 2nd instar H.armigera，which demonstrated that female adults exhibited the highest predation capacity against these larvae.Furthermore，our findings revealed that search efficiency improved as prey density decreased，while intraspecific interference among A.chinensis was influenced by their own density in the following order：5th instar nymphs>male adults>female adults. Regarding predation preference，when both T.molitor pupae and 3rd instar H.armigera larvae were present，A.chinensis showed a stronger inclination to prey on the pupae.These insights provide a valuable foundation for future research into indoor propagation strategies for enhancing the biological control capabilities of A.chinensis.

The results showed that different amount of nicosulfuron demonstrated great inhibitory effect on the growth of tobacco，and the inhibitory effect increased with the increasing of nicosulfuron.The detoxication was the best when the concentrations of cyclopropane sulfonamide，dichlormid，gibberellin，brassinolide，and Leu‑Ile‑Val mixture were 10，20，40，0.1，30 mg/L，while the detoxication of other three alleviators was not significant.The results of field tests indicated that the detoxication of cyclopropane sulfonamide and dichlormid was better than other three chemicals，and dichlormid showed the best performance.After adding dichlormid for 63 days，the leaf length，leaf width，plant height，leaf number，and stem girth of tobacco was increased by 26.4%，21.6%，13.2%，75.2% and 14.3% compared to the control group.Compared with the control treatment with nicosulfuron，the treatment with cyclopropane sulfonamide and dichlormid by root irrigation showed 51.91%－61.81% and 60.29%－91.95% increase for superoxide dismutase（SOD）activity，catalase（CAT）activity，nitrate reductase（NR）activity and glutathione S‑transferase（GST）activity，respectively.Of note，the dichlormid treatment was better than cyclopropane sulfonamide. In summary，when nicosulfuron was used as herbicide in the previous maize field，the nicosulfuron‑caused phytotoxicity to tobacco can be effectively alleviated by cyclopropane sulfonamide and dichlormid，and 20 mg/L（50 mL/plant）of dichlormid should be used preferentially.

Studies on Pollen Viability and Storage Characteristics of Yuluxiang Pear Hybrid Progeny HUANG Ping, YANG Ce, PENG Jianying, ZHANG Yuxing Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (1): 136-143.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.01.014 Abstract （257）      PDF （1354KB）（34）       Knowledge map    Save This study explored the variation characteristics of pollen fertility and pollen storage characteristics in pear hybrid progeny，to provide a basis for production application and theoretical research. The pollens from 20 strains of each hybrid progeny of Yuluxiang×Shinseiki and Yuluxiang×Xianghongli crosses were used as test materials.The fertility of the pollens was determined by determining the germination rate of different strains by in vitro culture，and the pollens of 3‑4，7‑9，6‑17，10‑4 and 6‑3 strains were stored at −20 ℃ to observe the change of vigour during storage. The results showed that the pollen germination rates of 15 out of 20 strains of the Yuluxiang×Shinseiki cross progeny differed to different degrees of significance，and there were 5 sterile strains.The pollen viability of 7 out of 20 strains of Yuluxiang×Xianghongli cross progeny had different degrees of significant differences，and there were 13 sterile strains. Pollen viability after 13 months of storage was not significantly different from fresh pollen for 17 strains in the two cross combinations，while fresh pollen and pollen stored for 13 months were significantly different for 3 strains，with decreases of 34.91% for strain 10‑173，55.48% for strain 3‑4 and 100% for strain 2‑13.The results of pollen viability dynamics of five strains of 3‑4，7‑9，6‑17，10‑4 and 6‑3 stored at -20℃ showed that the pollen viability of 7‑9，6‑17 and 6‑3 increased and then decreased with the prolongation of storage time，while the pollen viability of 3‑4 showed no significant change in the first three months，and then began to decrease.Among the five strains，the pollen germination rate of 6‑3，10‑4，6‑17，and 7‑9 did not decrease compared with that of fresh pollen after 13 months of storage，while that of 3‑4 was less than 50% of that of fresh pollen.There are significant differences in pollen viability to varying degrees and different proportions of sterile strains in the progeny of both the Yuluxiang×Shinseiki and Yuluxiang×Xianghongli crosses；the pollen viability of the progeny of the former combination is significantly higher than that of the latter combination，and the proportion of sterile strains is significantly lower than that of the latter combination. -20℃ low temperature condition is suitable for pear pollen storage for one year，and the pollen viability after storage can meet the pollination requirements.

The results showed that there was no significant difference in agronomic traits between the sterile line C01 and the maintainer line T01，but there was significant difference in anther morphology. The anthers of T01 were full and normally dehiscent，light yellow，and there were pollens；the anthers of C01 were shriveled，non‑dehiscent，tender green，the length and cross‑sectional diameter of the anthers were significantly lower than those of T01，and there was no pollen.From V1 to VT，the soluble sugar content in C01 leaves was significantly lower than that in T01；Except for VT，the soluble protein content in C01 leaves was significantly lower than that in T01；The content of free proline in C01 leaves was significantly lower than that in T01 at VT and R1；At all growth stages，the SOD activity in C01 leaves was significantly lower than that in T01，there was no significant difference in POD activity，and the CAT activity was significantly lower than that in T01 at V11 and VT；There was no significant difference in MDA content.It is inferred that the synthesis and transport pathways of soluble sugar，soluble protein and free proline of C01 may be blocked，and the insufficient energy supply may lead to low CAT and SOD activity，which in turn leads to male sterility of C01.

Genome‑wide Association Analysis of Wild Soybean Seedling Traits and Screening of Candidate Cadmium‑tolerant Genes CHE Yali, WU Sujun, WANG Kunyang, WANG Yanli, ZHANG Kai, QIAO Yake, YUAN Quan Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (1): 40-54.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.01.005 Abstract （251）      PDF （7939KB）（42）       Knowledge map    Save Wild soybean is a close relative of cultivated soybean，which has abundant resistance alleles. In order to screen cadmium‑tolerant wild soybean germplasm resources and analyze its molecular mechanism of cadmium‑tolerance，205 wild soybean lines from eastern Hebei Province were selected as research materials.A hydroponic experiment was conducted to set up cadmium stress and control(without cadmium stress)with two environmental replicates in November 2022 and July 2023. The shoot fresh weight(SFW)，root fresh weight(RFW)，plant height(PH)，root length(RL)were determined，and root shoot ratio(RSR)of fresh weight，cadmium tolerance coefficient(CTC)corresponding to each trait and cadmium tolerance evaluation value(D value)of each wild soybean strain were calculated. At the same time，genome‑wide association analysis(GWAS) was carried out，and then haplotype analysis was performed on significant single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)on chromosome 15.The results showed that the average value of seedlings traits under cadmium stress were lower than those of the control except for RSR. The results of frequency analysis showed that the CTC in the two environments showed normal distribution and genetic characteristics of quantitative traits. According to D value，13 cadmium‑tolerant wild soybean germplasms were screened out. Principal component analysis(PCA)showed that 205 wild soybean lines could be divided into three groups. Linkage disequilibrium(LD)analysis showed that 205 wild soybean natural populations decayed at 100 kb.A total of 195 SNPs significantly associated with cadmium tolerance in wild soybean were detected by GWAS analysis，and a single SNP could explain 1.95% to 25.43% of the phenotypic variation.A total of 591 candidate genes were identified according to the physical location of SNPs，of which 11 candidate genes were repeatedly associated with multiple SNPs，which belonged to pleiotropic effects. More importantly，genes of two metal‑tolerant proteins(MTPs)and two heavy metal‑associated isoprenylated plant proteins(HIPPs)were identified according to functional annotations.They were LOC114386540(MTP 10‑like)，LOC114388453(MTP 10‑like)，LOC114369981(HIPP 36‑like)and LOC114381753(HIPP 37‑like)，laying a foundation for elucidation of the molecular mechanism of the inheritance of cadmium tolerance in wild soybean. Haplotype analysis showed that the average CTC of haplotype 2 on chromosome 15 was the largest，which belonged to the excellent haplotype. This results provide information for analyzing the genetic mechanism of cadmium tolerance in wild soybean and provide important genetic resources for cultivating cadmium‑tolerant soybean varieties.

To clarify its effect on the law of boll formation in cotton，DPC was selected to be compounded with sodium nitroprusside（CSN），brassinolide（BR），sodium naphthylacetate（SNA），and phthalanilic acid（PHA），and a single application of DPC was used as the control. Three sprays were carried out at the budding stage，the pre⁃boll stage and the peak boll stage，and the effects of different compound combinations on the canopy structure，spatiotemporal distribution of boll formation，endogenous hormones，and yield were analyzed.The results showed that compared with the control，the compound treatment increased the leaf area index of cotton at the flowering boll stage，resulting in a significant decrease in the light transmittance of the lower canopy. The compound treatment increased the average growth rate of each reproductive organ and increased the number of flocculent bolls，and the number of cotton bolls increased by 35. 88%—46. 76% compared with the control. The compound treatment had a great effect on the vertical distribution of cotton bolls，the boll proportion in the lower part decreased compared with the control，but it increased the proportion of bolls in the middle and upper parts.The contents of indole acetic acid（IAA）and abscisic acid（ABA）in leaves could be reduced by compound treatment 10 days after the first application，and the gibberellins（GA3）content of DPC compounding with BR was significantly higher than that of the control at 30 days after application，and the compound treatment could significantly regulate the increase of zeatin riboside（ZR）content. Compared with the control，the boll formation rate of the compound treatment was significantly increased by 9.97%—16.85%，the number of bolls per hectare was significantly increased by 9.20%—17.22%，and the lint yield was significantly increased by 10.33%—22.30%. In conclusion，DPC compound treatment optimizes the spatiotemporal distribution of boll formation by regulating cotton endogenous hormones，which significantly increases the boll rate and thus increases cotton yield.

Based on the 329 distribution records of Cercis glabra in China，3 topographic variables，19 climate variables in modern times and future climate scenarios of low greenhouse gas emissions（ssp126），moderate greenhouse gas emissions（ssp245），high greenhouse gas emissions（ssp585）in the shared socio‑economic pathway（SSP），the dominant environmental factors which affected the geographical distribution of Cercis glabra were analyzed，and then the distribution，area，spatial pattern change，centroid migration trend of potential suitable areas of Cercis glabra were predicted by MaxEnt model and ArcGIS software in modern times and future climate scenarios. The results showed that the most important environmental factors were min temperature of coldest month（Bio6），annual precipitation（Bio12）and mean diurnal range（Bio2）for the distribution of potential suitable areas of Cercis glabra，the optimal ranges were -5.5—5.0 ℃，less than 1 750 mm，7.1—9.8 ℃ respectively. The total potential suitable area of Cercis glabra was 231. 46×104 km2 in modern times，and mainly distributed in middle‑south of East China，most areas of Central China，middle‑north of South China，east of Southwest and Northwest China，and the high，moderate，low suitable areas accounted for 24. 66%，35. 21% and 40.13% respectively. In different periods in future climate scenarios，the spatial distributions of suitable areas are similar to modern times，but the total suitable areas are more than modern times，in the climate scenarios of ssp126，ssp245，ssp585，the total potential suitable areas will increase by 0. 49%，5.02%，4.64% in 2050s（2041—2060），and increase by 2.93%，4.47%，5.45% in 2070s（2061—2080）；Under the climate scenarios of ssp245 and ssp585，the newly increased rates of the suitable areas are 0.88‑1.82 percentage points higher than those in the same period of ssp126 in 2050s and 2070s，while the lost rates are comparable or slightly smaller；Generally，the newly increased rate is 4.80%—6.71%，and the lost rate is 3.37%—4.65%，it is mainly reflected in the increase of the moderate suitable areas and the decrease of the high suitable areas；The potential suitable areas of Cercis glabra will migrate northward slightly as a whole，and the migration distances are less than 1 latitude；While its distribution center will move to northwest or southwest less than 300 km，then transfer to the border region in the south of Chongqing，north of Guizhou Province，southeast of Sichuan Province，and the meridional movements are more than latitudinal movements significantly，meanwhile，the movement distances in 2070s are less than 2050s. It showes that in the future，the meridional changes of climate environment are more than latitudinal changes，and the migration distances of the distribution centers will show a reducing trend over time；Under the climate with moderate and high greenhouse gas emissions，the climate environment will be more conducive to expansion of the suitable areas of Cercis glabra.

A total of the following five treatments were set up，CK：conventional density（30 cm×13. 3 cm），no N fertilizer；T1：conventional density（30 cm×13.3 cm），conventional N application rate（180 kg/ha）；T2：increasing density by 32%（30 cm×10 cm），conventional N application rate（180 kg/ha）；T3：increasing density by 32%（30 cm×10 cm），20% reduction in total conventional N application rate by spike fertilizer（total N application rate of 144 kg/ha）；T4：increasing density by 32%（30 cm×10 cm），20% reduction in total conventional N application rate by basal fertilizer（total N application rate of 144 kg/ha）. The experiment data in 2023 was used to study the effect of reducing nitrogen and increasing density on yield and nitrogen absorption and utilization of rice.The results showed that T4 treatment had the highest yield，which was significantly increased by 39.6%，9.8% and 13.3% compared with CK，T1 and T2 treatments respectively；T3 treatment was the second，showing no significant difference from T4 treatment. The increase of yield of the two treatments was mainly attributed to the increase of effective spikes number，and T4 treatment significantly increased by 64.0% and 18.5% compared with CK and T1 treatment respectively.The harvest indexes of T3 and T4 treatments were higher，and the difference between them was not significant，but both were significantly higher than the other treatments，among which T4 treatment was 30.4%，53.3% and 15.6% higher than CK，T1 and T2 treatments respectively. From jointing stage to mature stage，T4 treatment generally had the highest SPAD value of leaves，the lowest attenuation rate of SPAD，and higher dry weight of above‑ground part. T1—T4 treatments significantly increased nitrogen uptake by 53.6%—94.2% compared with CK，and the increase was the greatest in T4 treatment. Compared with the T1 treatment，the nitrogen fertilizer uptake and use efficiency，nitrogen uptake rate，nitrogen fertilizer agronomic utilization rate and nitrogen partial productivity of T4 treatment significantly increased by 36.1%，30.1%，82.4% and 37.3%，respectively，whereas apparent surplus and deficit of soil nitrogen and nitrogen surplus rate significantly decreased by 87.5% and 103.8%，respectively；the nitrogen fertilizer uptake and use efficiency of T3 treatment significantly decreased by 22.5%，while nitrogen fertilizer agronomic utilization efficiency and nitrogen partial productivity significantly increased by 71.2% and 34.9%.Nitrogen partial productivity，nitrogen fertilizer agronomic utilization rate，nitrogen uptake rate were significantly positively correlated with yied，and nitrogen surplus rate and soil nitrogen apparent surplus and deficit were significantly negatively correlated with yield. In conclusion，increasing density while reducing the amount of basal nitrogen fertilizer can improve rice yield as well as nitrogen uptake and utilization rate，which is more suitable for the growth of rice in cold region.
