    Soil heavy metal pollution is the main factor that causes the decline of ecological environment quality,the excessive content of heavy metals in crops and the harm to human health. Phytoremediation is one of the important ways to control heavy metals,which has both ecological and economic benefits.However,most plant species have limited remediation ability and cannot achieve good heavy metal removal effect. In contrast,forage grass is easy to cultivate,with large biomass and short growth cycle.It shows strong remediation ability in the treatment of heavy metal contaminated soil,and has good application prospect and development value. Based on the current situation of heavy metal contaminated soil remediation by herbage plants,the response characteristics of herbage plants under heavy metal stress,the enrichment effect of heavy metals and the remediation mechanism were systematically expounded,aiming to provide reference for the efficient use of herbage plants for heavy metal contaminated soil treatment.

    To better develop and utilize wild tea germplasms in Panzhou City and Sandu County of Guizhou Province,a total of 24 wild tea plants distributed in the two areas were used as materials,and 23 leaf traits derived from their leaf morphology and anatomical structure characteristics were comparatively analyzed.Based on these traits and combined with the membership function method,the resistance of wild tea plants was analyzed.The results showed that there were obvious differences in leaf appearance between wild tea plants in Panzhou and Sandu. Among them,the leaf length(LL),leaf width(LW)and leaf area(LA)of wild tea plants in Panzhou were significantly larger than that of Sandu,but the leaf length‑to‑width ratio(LR)was the opposite.In addition,there were significant or extremely significant differences in 16 leaf anatomical structural traits such as leaf thickness(LT),thickness of palisade tissue(TP),cell amount(CA),main vein thickness(MVT)and density of calcium oxalate crystal(DCO)between wild tea plants in Panzhou and Sandu. Among them,the LT,TP and MVT of Panzhou wild tea plants were thicker,palisade tissue cells were more densely arranged,calcium oxalate crystals were more dense,and the thickness of upper(lower)epidermis cells was thinner.The pairwise correlation analysis of the above 23 leaf traits showed that 43 pairs of them were highly significantly positively correlated,23 pairs were significantly positively correlated,17 pairs were highly significantly negatively correlated,and 12 pairs were significantly negatively correlated. Cluster analysis showed that the 24 wild tea plants could be divided into 4 categories,with the MVT and short diameter of vascular bundle(SDV)being the main basis for the classification. The results of stress resistance evaluation showed that Panzhou wild tea plants were slightly better than Sandu wild tea plants in drought and cold resistance.According to the average membership function value,SD‑20‑2,SD‑20‑3,PZ‑05 and PZ‑09 were selected as high resistance wild tea germplasms for breeding resistant tea cultivars.

    To explore the differences in the effects of maize stubble and soybean stubble in the Huang‑Huai‑Hai area,in 2023,rhizosphere soil samples at the jointing stage of winter wheat were collected under the conditions of long‑term positioning test fields for up to 4 years(2019—2023).The responses of rhizosphere soil bacterial community structure and function to no nitrogen application(N0)and conventional nitrogen application(N240,pure nitrogen 240 kg/ha) were studied by using 16S high‑throughput sequencing technology combined with Tax4Fun2 function prediction analysis in the jointing stage of winter wheat under maize(M)stubble and soybean(S)stubble,respectively.There were four treatments(MN0,SN0,MN240,SN240)in total.The results showed that,at the phylum level,Proteobacteria,Acidobacteria,Bacteroidetes and Actinobacteriota were the dominant rhizosphere bacteria of winter wheat with a relative abundance of 66.66%—69.56%.Under N0 nitrogen application rate,the relative abundance of Bacteroidetes in S stubble was significantly increased by 19.10% compared with that in M stubble(P<0.05),and under N240 nitrogen application rate,the relative abundance of Proteobacteria in S stubble was significantly increased by 11.90% compared with that in M stubble(P<0.05).At the order level,Vicinamibacterales and Burkholderiales were the dominant bacteria with a relative abundance of 18.42%—19.68%. Under N0 nitrogen application rate,the relative abundance of Vicinamibacterales in S stubble was significantly reduced by 13.69% compared with that in M stubble(P<0.05);The relative abundance of Burkholderiales was increased significantly by 11.31%(P<0.05).Through the Tax4Fun2 function prediction and the KEGG data comparison,it was found that there were significant differences in the relative abundance of seven functional pathways under the metabolism category under N0 nitrogen application rate(P<0.05),and correlation analysis further revealed that there was a significant correlation between Vicinamibacterales and Burkholderiales and amino acid metabolism pathways(P<0.01).There were 26 functional genes involved in soil nitrogen cycling pathway in winter wheat soil bacteria,and the relative abundance of denitrification functional genes accounted for the largest proportion.Under N0 nitrogen application rate,the relative abundance of denitrification functional genes norB,norC and nirS in M stubble was significantly higher than that in S stubble(P<0.05).In conclusion,the stubble causes the soil bacterial community structure of winter wheat to change under different amount of nitrogen. Different stubble affects the nitrogen metabolism function of bacterial community by changing the structure of rhizosphere soil bacterial community.

    Two‑year‑old Platycodon grandiflorum was used to explore the effects of drought stress on its photosynthesis and physiological characteristics.The response of P.grandiflorum to different degree of drought stress was analyzed by measuring the photosynthetic and physiological characteristics under different soil moisture conditions.The soil relative water content was 80%(control),60%(mild drought),40%(moderate drought)and 20%(severe drought),respectively.The findings suggested that the net photosynthetic rate,stomatal conductance,intercellular CO2 concentration,light saturation point,apparent quantum yield and dark respiration rate of P.grandiflorum leaves decreased gradually with the increasing degree of drought stress.The light compensation point increased gradually.When the soil relative water content was 20%,the highest light compensation point achieved 74.45 μmol/(m2·s),which increased by 67.76% compared with the control.However,the content of photosynthetic pigments in leaves increased first and then decreased with the increasing degree of drought stress.The contents of chlorophyll a,chlorophyll b and carotenoids were the highest under soil relative water content of 60%,which increased by 18.71%,28.48%,and 12.25% respectively compared with the control.Moreover,the contents of malondialdehyde,proline,soluble sugar and soluble protein in P.grandiflorum increased with the increasing degree of drought stress.The catalase activity in P.grandiflorum leaves enhanced first and then weakened.The activity was the highest when the soil relative water content was 40%,which was 21.01% higher than that of the control.In summary,P.grandiflorum showed adaptability to mild and moderate drought.The accumulation of osmotic adjustment substances and the increase of antioxidant enzyme activity were the key physiological response processes of drought tolerance of P.grandiflorum.However,the lipid peroxidation of P.grandiflorum was aggravated under severe drought stress,and the photosynthetic productivity decreased significantly,which eventually led to serious inhibition of the growth of P.grandiflorum.To maintain the normal growth of P.grandiflorum,soil relative water content should not be lower than 40% for a long time.

    The effects of different color fruit bags on berry russet and quality of Shine Muscat grape were studied to lay the foundation for selecting suitable fruit bags to produce high quality fruit.Ten‑year‑old Shine Muscat grapevines were used as materials.Five different color fruit bag treatments were set to compare the changes of berry russet rate and fruit quality during ripening.No bagging clusters were as the control.Results showed that the berry russet rate of Shine Muscat increased first and then stabilized with the process of fruit maturity.The berry russet rate reached a high level for the control,red bag,white bag,blue bag,green bag,and black bag at 97 d,107 d,107 d,107 d,122 d,and 107 d after full bloom,respectively. At this time,the berry russet rate was 19.47% for the control,12.48% for red bag,12.42% for white bag,9.62% for blue bag,7.59% for green bag,and 0.84% for black bag.The control and blue bag treatment had a higher peel brightness than other treatments,while the black bag had a lower peel brightness than other treatments.Berry weight of the control and treatments of white bag and blue bag reached the maximum at 107 d after full bloom,while berry weight of other treatments reached the maximum at 122 d after full bloom.The white bag had the highest berry weight at all,which was 15.57 g,followed by blue bag.The control and treatments of white bag and black bag had a higher berry firmness than other treatments,while the treatments of green bag and blue bag had a lower berry firmness than other treatments.The total soluble solids(TSS)content and TSS/titratable acid(TA)of the control and treatments of white bag,blue bag and red bag were higher than other treatments,and the TSS content reached 18% or above at 97 d after full bloom. The TSS content of the treatments of green bag and black bag reached 18% or above at 107 d after full bloom. In conclusion,the blue bag can be a good choice for producing high quality fruit,which could decrease berry russet rate significantly and has little effects on fruit quality.

    In order to better coordinate the content of polyphenols in cigar tobacco leaves(CTLs)and improve the sensory quality of CTLs,polyphenol oxidase‑producing strains were obtained by specific screening of the degradation ability of chlorogenic acid,and they were applied to the fermentation of CTLs.With the determination of volatiles and sensory quality analysis of fermented CTLs,the mechanism of improving the quality of cigar tobacco leaves by polyphenol oxidase‑producing strains was studied.The results showed that three strains(C1,C2 and C3) could degrade chlorogenic acid,and the enzyme
    activities of three strains produced polyphenol oxidase were 116.67,41.67 and 141.67 U/mL,respectively.The application of polyphenol oxidase‑producing strains to cigar fermentation could enrich the aroma type of CTLs,reduce miscellaneous gas,improve the sensory quality and improve the industrial availability of CTLs,among which the aroma quality,aroma amount,miscellaneous gas and permeability of CTLs inoculated with strain C2 were the most obviously improved. The content of Maillard reaction products such as 2,6‑dimethyl‑pyrazine and 2,5‑dimethyl‑pyrazine,fatty acid degradation products such as ethyl nonanoate and 3‑methylvaleric acid and aromatic amino acid degradation products such as benzyl alcohol,benzaldehyde and ethyl phenylacetate increased in fermented CTLs.The degradation of polyphenols could increase the precursors of Maillard reaction and aromatic amino acids degradation products,and promote the transformation of Maillard reaction products and aromatic amino acid degradation products.At the same time,the oxidative degradation of polyphenols reduced the inhibition of microbial metabolism and growth,which led to the accumulation of ethyl acetate in fermented CTLs.In summary,polyphenol oxidase‑producing strains could increase the contents of Maillard reaction products and aromatic amino acid degradation products and improve the sensory quality of cigar tobacco leaves.

In the winter wheat‑irrigation group,when applicants independently applied for varieties,the proportion of universities and research institutes through consortium experiment channel was higher than that through provincial unified experiment channel,and individual applicants were more inclined to provincial unified experiment channel.Compared with the provincial unified experiment,the difference of agronomic traits of the consortium experiment wheat was larger at the early stage and smaller at the later stage. Among the 7 agronomic traits,5 traits were significantly or extremely significantly different in 2021,and 2 traits were significantly different in 2023.The difference of quality traits was relatively smaller,but also showed the rule of large at the early stage and small at the late stage. Among the 7 quality traits,2 traits were significantly different in 2021,and there was no significant difference in 2023.The variation coefficient and diversity of agronomic and quality traits of the consortium experiment varieties were greater than those of provincial unified experiment varieties. Principal component analysis was used to transform 14 agronomic and quality traits into 7 principal components,which reflected 81.51% of the original information.The evaluation results based on principal component analysis showed that among the top 50 varieties with comprehensive scores,the varieties with higher comprehensive scores in the wheat consortium experiment accounted for a relatively smaller proportion of all varieties.In 2021 and 2023,there were 5 and 14 varieties respectively,accounting for 9.3% and 17.9% of all consortium experiment varieties.The varieties with higher comprehensive scores in the provincial unified experiment accounted for a relatively larger proportion of all varieties,with 4 and 5 in 2021 and 2023,respectively,accounting for 19.0% and 35.7% of all provincial unified experiment varieties.In summary,the capacity of Henan wheat consortium experiment is constantly increasing,and the dispersion of agronomic and quality traits is relatively larger;The gap of comprehensive scores of varieties between the consortium experiment and the provincial unified experiment is narrowing;Relevant departments can adjust and optimize the consortium experimental group according to the market in the future,focus on the issues of consortium experiment channel,and promote the high‑quality development of the consortium experiment.

    The effects of different sowing and irrigation methods[conventional sowing under surface drip irrigation(DI),deep sowing under subsurface drip irrigation(SDI)and conventional sowing under surface irrigation(CK)]on the seedling emergence,dry matter accumulation,transport and yield of summer maize were explored,so as to select suitable sowing and irrigation methods for field production.The results showed that under 40 mm irrigation after sowing,the soil moisture under SDI treatment could move up to the seed bed layer and penetrate down to 80 cm from the surface.The soil water content in the 5—10 and 10—20 cm soil layers reached 68.69% and 75.35% of the field capacity,respectively.The range of wetted soil was above 60 cm of soil layer for CK and DI treatments.SDI treatment significantly prolonged the seedling emergence time of summer maize,resulting in a significant decrease in leaf area and dry matter weight per plant at seedling stage than other treatments,but its seedling emergence rate did not significantly decrease. Under irrigation conditions during the growth period,compared with CK,SDI treatment reduced the soil water content of 0—20 cm soil layer at the late jointing and early filling stages,but increased the soil water content of 40—120 cm soil layers.DI treatment increased the soil water content of upper and middle soil layers at the late jointing stage and the whole profile at the early filling stage when compared to CK. Compared with CK,SDI and DI treatments could not only promote pre‑anthesis dry matter transport,but also improve the leaf area index and aboveground dry matter accumulation at anthsis and filling stages.Finally,SDI and DI treatments improved aboveground dry matter accumulation at maturity,yield and water use efficiency by 8.51%,11.22%,11.41% and 6.18%,6.38%% ,9.94%,respectively.SDI treatment increased the grain number per ear and yield compared with DI treatment,but the difference in water use efficiency between the two treatments was not significant.In sum,deep sowing under subsurface drip irrigation did not significantly affect the seedling emergence rate of summer maize.Moreover,deep sowing under subsurface drip irrigation could increase the soil water content in the middle and lower layers,which was beneficial for the increase of pre‑anthesis dry matter transport amount,post‑anthesis leaf area index and aboveground dry matter accumulation,and finally obtained the highest yield and water use efficiency.

    This study aimed to clarify the spatial and temporal distribution characteristics of the climatic suitability of sesame in Henan Province and to guide the layout of sesame production by establishing climate suitability models for sesame growth using fuzzy mathematics method based on the light,temperature,and water requirements of sesame.The temperature,light,precipitation,and comprehensive climate suitability of sesame were calculated using the daily meteorological data of 15 meteorological stations in Henan from 1961 to 2019.The results showed that temperature suitability(0.938—0.956)was higher than light suitability(0.568—0.657)and precipitation suitability(0.492—0.595)of sesame in 15 stations in Henan Province,and the comprehensive climate suitability was 0.641—0.712.From 1961 to 2019,the light and comprehensive climate suitability of sesame in Henan Province showed asignificant downward trend,decreasing by 0.032 and 0.012 every 10 years.The change trends of temperature and precipitation suitability were not significant.The light,precipitation,and comprehensive climate suitability decreased gradually from north to south,while the temperature suitability increased gradually from northwest to southeast. The findings suggest that the temperature suitability of Henan sesame is higher and the heat resources are rich,the light suitability is gradually decreasing and not conducive to the growth of sesame,the precipitation suitability is the lowest,and precipitation is the main climatic factor that restricts the production of sesame in Henan.In the production of Henan sesame,it is of great significance to consolidate the advantages of traditional sesame producing areas such as Zhumadian and Zhoukou in southeastern Henan,expand the planting range of high climate suitability areas such as northern and eastern Henan,improve the irrigation and drainage facilities to improve the utilization rate of sesame climate resources and ensure the stable yield and yield increase of Henan sesame.

    To fast and effective extraction of rice spatial distribution information,this study proposed a simple and practical time‑series pixels frequency constraint model(TPFCM) based on the spectral variation pattern of rice development using optical and radar images during the growth period of rice.Firstly,the median synthesis method was used to synthesize Sentinel‑2,Landsat‑8,and Sentinel‑1 as monthly data,and the synthesized Sentinel‑2 and Landsat‑8 were fused to reduce the influence of cloud shadow on rice image pixels,and the feature spectral bands of the three fusion images were selected to calculate the normalized vegetation index(NDVI),enhanced vegetation index(EVI)and land surface water index(LSWI)to create monthly multi‑dimensional feature images.Secondly,the random forest classifier was used to initially extract the rice area within the five important development stages,and input into the TPFCM model to calculate the frequency of rice pixels within each stage in the growth period.Finally,the model was controlled to output the optimal rice spatial distribution information based on the pre‑extraction accuracy and area error threshold conditions.The results showed that the TPFCM model output -3.83% of rice planting area error,which was 3.94 percentage points less than that of single‑phase rice extraction area error by comparing the absolute values,and the correlation between the extracted area and statistical reference area was significant(R2=0.97).

    In order to clarify the temperature and light conditions for high yield and high quality of indica rice in southern Henan,a field experiment was conducted with three indica rice varieties(Zhaoyou 5431,Zhongzheyou 8 and Yliangyou 900) as experimental materials. The accumulated temperature,accumulated light time and accumulated light intensity of indica rice from heading to maturity under different sowing dates of April 15(T1),April 30(T2),May 15(T3),May 30(T4)and June 14(T5)were analyzed for two consecutive years,and the rice yield,milling quality,appearance quality,nutritional quality and cooking quality were analyzed.The redundancy analysis(RDA)of the effect of temperature and light factors on the quality of indica rice under different sowing dates was carried out,and the key environmental factors affecting the quality of rice in southern Henan were found through the interpretation rate of temperature and light factors. The results showed that with the delay of sowing date,the yield,milling quality and nutritional quality of the three indica rice varieties increased first and then decreased.In the two years,the yield of T2 treatment was the highest,the milling quality,appearance quality and cooking quality were better,and the yield and quality of T5 treatment were the worst. Among them,in 2019,the yield of T2 treatment increased by 129.4% compared with T5 treatment,the head milled rice rate increased by 32.1%,the chalkiness degree and chalky grain rate decreased by 69.8% and 69.9%,respectively,and the amylose content decreased by 13.7%. In 2020,the yield of T2 treatment increased by 271.0% compared with T5 treatment,the head milled rice rate increased by 83.9%,the chalkiness degree and chalky grain rate decreased by 85.2% and 77.6%,respectively,and the amylose content decreased by 19.2%. The protein content of rice was the highest under T3 treatment,which was 13.6% and 20.0% higher than that under T5 treatment in 2019 and 2020,respectively. There was no significant difference in quality indexes between T2 and T3 treatments.The yield of Yliangyou 900 under T2 treatment was the highest in both years,and its quality was better. The accumulated temperature,accumulated light time and accumulated light intensity of the three varieties from heading to maturity decreased with the delay of sowing date. The accumulated temperature and accumulated light time of Yliangyou 900 decreased the most,and the decrease of Zhaoyou 5431 and Zhongzheyou 8 was similar.RDA and interpretation rate analysis showed that the temperature and light factors from heading to mature stage were the main environmental factors that caused the difference of rice quality,and the accumulated light time of 10—20 days after heading was the most important ecological factor affecting rice quality. In summary,the yield of indica rice in southern Henan is the highest when sown on April 30,and the quality is better.

    To clarify the suitable maturity characteristics for one‑time harvesting of flue‑cured tobacco middle leaves,Xiangyan No. 7 was used as material,three harvesting time treatments of low maturity(M1,customary harvesting),medium maturity(M2,7 d delay in harvesting)and high maturity(M3,14 d delay in harvesting)were designed to carry out one‑time harvesting of six middle tobacco leaves with different maturity in Guiyang,Hunan Province. The appearance quality,chemical components,smoking quality and economic character of flue‑cured tobacco were comprehensively evaluated.The result showed that with the increase in maturity,the SPAD values of fresh tobacco leaves of Xiangyan No.7 in M2 and M3 decreased by 6.48% and 14.11% compared with M1,respectively. Greenish tobacco decreased,and variegated tobacco increased,and the variegated ratios of M2 and M3 treatments were 2.54 and 7.80 percentage points higher than that of M1 treatment,respectively.M2 was more coordinated in chemical components. The total scores of the flue‑cured tobacco appearance quality and smoking quality were the best in M2.The fine tobacco ratio in M2 treatment was 3.29 percentage points higher than that in M1 treatment,and that in M3 was 14.01 percentage points lower than that in M1 treatment.The average price of M2 treatment was 1.01% higher than that of M1 treatment,and that of M3 treatment was 10.35% lower than that of M1 treatment.The one‑time harvest of six tobacco leaves in the middle part of flue‑cured tobacco should be delayed by seven days compared with the local customary harvest.The suitable harvest mature characteristics are as follows:1/5—1/2 leaf surface turns yellow,2/3 main vein turns white to full white,1/3 or more branch vein turns white,leaf edge curls,most of the hairs fall off,no or a small amount of mature spot occurs,leaf surface wrinkles.The SPAD value for one‑time harvest of six flue‑cured tobacco leaves is 21.51—28.86.
