    To explore the characteristics of cecal flora in low‑fat(Xinghua chicken)and high‑fat(Gudian chicken)breeds during the fattening and slaughtering stage,10 healthy Xinghua chickens and 10 Gudian chickens at 126 days of age under the same feeding conditions were selected for slaughter determination and comparative analysis.At the same time,five chickens were randomly selected from them for testing,and their cecal contents were collected for analysis of the microbial community structure through 16S rRNA V3—V4 region sequencing.The results showed that both live weight and slaughter weight of Xinghua chickens were significantly lower than those of Gudian chickens,while abdominal fat weight,slaughtering rate,and abdominal fat rate were extremely significantly lower than those of Gudian chickens.α diversity analysis revealed that the richness of gut microbiota in Gudian chickens was higher than in Xinghua chickens,but the difference was not significant,and the diversity of intestinal flora in Gudian chicken was significantly higher than that in Xinghua chicken at the family level.β diversity analysis showed that there were extremely significant differences in the diversity of microbial communities between the two varieties at the genus and family levels. In the analysis of microbial community structure and differences at the phylum level,the relative abundance of Proteobacteria was extemely significantly higher in Gudian chickens than in Xinghua chickens,the relative abundance of Deferribacterota was significantly higher than in Xinghua chickens,and the relative abundance of Verrucomicrobiota was extremely significantly lower than in Xinghua chickens.In the analysis of microbial community structure and differences at the family level,the abundance of Acidaminococcaceae and Succinivibrionaceae in Gudian chickens was significantly higher than that in Xinghua chickens,while the relative abundance of Ruminococcaceae was significantly lower than that in Xinghua chickens.In the analysis of microbial community structure and differences at the genus level,the abundance of Phascolarctobacterium and Anaerobiospirillum in Gudian chickens was significantly higher than that in Xinghua chickens,while the relative abundance of Faecalibacterium was significantly lower than that in Xinghua chickens.Through LEfSe differential analysis(LDA>3,P<0.05),8 specific marker bacteria of high‑fat Gudian chicken and 5 specific marker bacteria of low‑fat Xinghua chicken were identified respectively. Among them,the LDA scores of Phascolarctobacterium and Faecalibacterium with high abundance were higher,which may be significantly related to the phenotype of more abdominal fat deposition in high‑fat Gudian chickens and less abdominal fat deposition in low‑fat Xinghua chickens.In summary,microbiome analysis revealed significant differences in the cecal microbiota structure between Xinghua chickens and Gudian chickens,confirming the potential association between characteristic microbiota such as Proteobacteria,Succinivibrionaceae,and Phascolarctobacterium and fat deposition in broiler chickens.This provides a theoretical basis for microbiota improving broiler chicken production performance microbial.

    Mepenzolate(DPC)compounding with plant growth regulator can effectively increase cotton yield. 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.

    By detecting the susceptibility of Magnaporthe oryzae to tebuconazole in Hainan Province and studying the fitness of resistance strains,the resistance risk of M.oryzae to tebuconazole was understood,which would provide theoretical reference for the scientific use of fungicides and resistance management.The mycelial growth rate method was used to determine the susceptibility to tebuconazole of 144 strains of M.oryzae collected and isolated from Hainan Province in 2022,and the susceptibility baseline of M.oryzae in Hainan Province to tebuconazole was established based on the susceptibility frequency distribution of the strains.Fifteen susceptible strains with low effective inhibitory mid‑concentration(EC50)measured during the establishment of the susceptibility baseline were selected for resistance domestication under continuous selection pressure,and the domesticated strains were classified into resistance levels,and the genetic stability and suitability of the resistant strains as well as the cross‑resistance to the fungicides pyraclostrobin,flucycloxazole,imidacloprid,fenpyroximate,and aliconazole were determined.The EC50 values of the 144 strains tested ranged from 0.176 9 to 0.998 0 μg/mL.The EC50 value of the least sensitive strain was 5.64 times that of the most sensitive strain.The average EC50 value was(0.476 3±0.174 5)μg/mL.The susceptibility frequencies of the strains were distributed in a continuous single‑peak curve,and the susceptibility baseline to tebuconazole of M.oryzae in Hainan Province was 0.476 3 μg/mL.Through indoor domestication of 15 sensitive strains,a total of two resistant strains were obtained.EC50 values were 1.289 5 μg/mL and 1.868 4 μg/mL respectively,and resistance folds were 5.38 times and 6.65 times respectively,both of which were low resistance level.And after eight consecutive generations of transfer,the two resistant strains always maintained low‑level resistance.The EC50 values of pyraclostrobin,epoxiconazole,prochloraz,difenoconazole,and diniconazole were measured and compared between the strains resistant to tebuconazole and their parental strains.The results showed that there was no cross‑resistance in M.oryzae in Hainan Province between tebuconazole and the above chemicals.Through the in vitro fitness test of the tebuconazole‑resistant strains,it was found that compared with the parental strains,the mycelial growth rate of the two resistant strains was significantly reduced,and the conidia production was reduced to varying degrees.In addition,they were more sensitive to strong acid and alkali environment,and their pathogenicity was greatly reduced.Therefore,the frequency of resistance mutations to tebuconazole in rice blast strains in Hainan Province is low,and the environmental suitability of their resistant strains is significantly reduced,resulting in a low risk of resistance.In addition,there is no cross‑resistance between tebuconazole and commonly used fungicides in Hainan Province,and the development of resistance can be delayed by strategies such as cross‑rotation or mixing with multi‑site‑of‑action protectants in production.

    This study identified the WOX family genes of Salvia miltiorrhiza(SmWOX)through genomic data,and analyzed their protein physicochemical properties,phylogenetic relationships,structure,gene tissue expression patterns,and response to salt stress.The results showed that 9 SmWOX family proteins had different physicochemical properties such as amino acid sequence length,molecular weight,and isoelectric point,and were all located in the nucleus.The results of systematic evolutionary analysis showed that SmWOX family members were divided into three groups:ancient,intermediate,and WUS,and had direct homologous relationships with some Arabidopsis WOX proteins. Structure analysis revealed the differences among members of different Salvia miltiorrhiza WOX subfamilies,which had different expression patterns in different tissues,suggesting that they may exercise different functions in growth and development. The analysis of cis‐acting elements showed that the SmWOX genes had regulatory effects on stress,hormone response,and growth and development.In addition,there were interactions between SmWOX8 protein and other proteins. Under salt stress,the expression level of SmWOX genes changed significantly,especially SmWOX8,which had the highest expression level under high salt stress,suggesting that it may play an important role in salt stress resistance of Salvia miltiorrhiza.The results of transgenic Arabidopsis experiments confirmed that SmWOX8 could improve salt tolerance of Salvia miltiorrhiza.

    To explore the regulatory effects of foliar application of thidiazuron in combination with different plant growth retardants on the growth,development,and yield of cotton,a field experiment was conducted from July to October 2022 in Tuanjie Village,Hailou Town,Shaya County,Xinjiang.Xinluzhong 84 was chosen as the test cotton variety. Thidiazuron at 0.1% concentration was used as the main agent,combined with chlormequat chloride(W1),calcium prohexadione(W2),uniconazole(W3),and flurprimidol(W4),with water serving as the control group(CK).A randomized block design was employed,with a spray application before and after chemical topping,to analyze their effects on cotton agronomic traits,dry matter accumulation and distribution,leaf area index,SPAD value,and yield.The results showed that the W3 treatment performed the best across all measured indices. Specifically,at the boll opening stage,compared to CK,plant height,plant width,the length of the 3rd fruiting branch,the length of the 7th fruiting branch,and leaf branch length in the W3 treatment decreased by 1.23%,3.14%,10.96%,11.72%,and 18.92%,respectively;at 30 days after treatment,the SPAD value and the dry matter accumulation of buds and bolls increased by 2.05% and 9.98%,respectively,the proportion of dry matter in reproductive organs increased by 7.61%,and the leaf area index increased by 10.85% compared to CK;the number of bolls per plant and seed cotton yield increased by 11.28% and 11.23%,respectively,compared to CK.In conclusion,application of 0.1% thidiazuron 450 mL/ha + 5% uniconazole 75 g/ha before and after chemical topping can effectively suppress cotton indefinite growth,enhance leaf area index and leaf SPAD value,promote reproductive growth in cotton plants,increase the number of bolls per plant,and significantly increase cotton yield.

    In order to explore the effect of tobacco bud water extract fermentation by yeast on the aroma of cigar tobacco leaves,gas chromatography‑mass spectrometry(GC‑MS)technology was applied to analyze the aroma components of cigar tobacco leaves after solid‑state fermentation with flower bud water extract fermented by Pichia pastorisHanseniaspora uvarum,Cyberlindnera fabianii,Torulaspora delbrueckii and Zygosaccharomyces bailii.The results showed that a total of 58 volatile substances were detected after fermentation,and the total content of volatile substances after treatment by Torulaspora delbrueckii was the highest(1 470.48 μg/g).The results of odor activity value(OAV)analysis showed flower aroma> tobacco aroma>fruit aroma>baking aroma. Principal component analysis(PCA)results indicated that the cumulative variance contribution rate was 71.1%.Cyberlindnera fabianii was closely related to β‑cyclocitral,geranylacetone,2‑methoxy‑4‑vinylphenol,phenylacetaldehyde,6‑methyl‑5‑hepten‑2‑one,styrene,benzaldehyde,4,7,9‑megastigmatrien‑3‑one a and(+)‑limonene.Zygosaccharomyces bailii was highly correlated with 4‑hydroxy‑β‑damascone,dihydroactinidiolide and phenylethyl alcohol.The results of cluster analysis showed that the aroma of cigar leaves fermented by the water extract of flower buds in the two groups of yeasts,Torulaspora delbrueckii and Pichia pastoris,Hanseniaspora uvarum and Zygosaccharomyces bailii,was similar. In summary,the cigar leaves fermented by the water extract of tobacco bud with the five yeasts have different flavor types,which is of great significance to the development of domestic cigars.

    To enable rapid,non‑destructive monitoring of the soil plant analysis development(SPAD)value of field‑grown potatoes,this research employed unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) hyperspectral imaging to construct a quantitative detection model during critical growth phases.UAV hyperspectral imagery captured during the tuber initiation and enlargement stages was processed using mathematical transformations.Characteristic bands correlating with the SPAD value were identified using the competitive adaptive reweighted sampling(CARS),uninformative variable elimination(UVE),and random frog(RF) algorithms. Subsequently,partial least squares regression(PLSR),support vector regression(SVR),and back propagation(BP)neural networks were utilized to formulate models for estimating the potato SPAD values.It was observed that the characteristic bands derived from distinct feature selection algorithms varied slightly,with the CARS algorithm demonstrating efficiency in extracting sensitive spectral features,reducing hyperspectral data dimensions,and enhancing model precision.Compared to models constructed with alternative algorithmic combinations,the 1/R‑CARS‑SVR model displayed superior predictive capabilities,yielding R 2values of 0.88 for the training set and 0.84 for the validation set,and consistent root mean square error(RMSE) values of 0.39 for both.The 1/R‑CARS‑SVR model was utilized to perform point‑by‑point SPAD value computations across the study area,and a detailed inversion map was generated.It was found that SPAD value in tuber expansion stage was generally higher than that in tuber formation stage.This map offered a visual representation of potato growth conditions for managerial decision‑making,contributing to the theoretical framework and methodological approach for the surveillance of potato growth dynamics.

    Consortium experiment is a new measure to broaden the channels of crop variety approval experiment under the current agricultural situation in China.In order to deeply understand the experiment capacity of wheat consortium experiment in Henan Province and master the agronomic traits and quality traits of its varieties,comparative analysis and evaluation were conducted between the consortium experiment varieties and the provincial unified experiment varieties,based on the wheat
    varieties approved by Henan Province in the past three years(2021—2023).The results showed that Henan Province approved a total of 355 wheat varieties from 2021 to 2023,including 187 consortium experiment varieties.The consortium experiment capacity showed an upward trend,and the proportion of varieties increased from 48.3% in 2021 to 61.2% in 2023.The consortium experimental group was single,mainly including winter wheat‑irrigation group. 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 diploid RL36 with high spontaneous doubling ability and its haploid H⁃RL36 and the haploid H⁃L119A with low spontaneous doubling ability were used as materials,the pollen viability and anther morphology were observed,the cell ploidy of vegetative and reproductive organs at different development stages were detected,and simultaneously the chromosome behavior during meiosis process was observed,so as to explore the causes of spontaneous doubling of haploid to produce fertile gametes,analyze the underlying cytology mechanisms,and provide theoretical support for biological research related to spontaneous doubling of haploid.The results showed that the high spontaneous doubling haploid H⁃RL36 had round,full and fertile pollen grains and normal anther tissue,while the low spontaneous doubling haploid H⁃L119A had sterile pollens with irregular morphology and wrinkled anther tissue.The ploidy detection results showed that the chromosome number in the leaves of the two haploid materials did not double at different growth stages,and there were diploid cells and a few tetraploid cells in the tassel of H⁃RL36 at trumpet stage,while the H⁃L119A cells did not show diploidization.4,6⁃diamidino⁃2⁃phenylindole(DAPI)staining was used to observe the chromosome segregation behavior of pollen mother cells,it was found that the chromosomes of most cells in H⁃RL36 showed segregation distortion and moved to one pole at anaphase of first meiosis,and then underwent normal second meiosis to produce gametes with normal chromosome number,thus producing fertile pollens.In contrast,the chromosome of H⁃L119A cells eventually degenerated,leading to sterile gametes with abnormal chromosome number.The segregation distortion of chromosomes during meiosis can lead to spontaneous doubling of haploids,and the doubling of haploid germ cells and somatic cells is two independent processes.

    Tea plants(Camellia sinensis)prefer NH4+ as the dominant nitrogen(N)source.Although it has been proven that the use of mixed nitrate(NO3-)and ammonium(NH4+)as a N source can improve plant growth,whether genotypic difference in response to mixed nutrition exists in different tea plants remains obscure.Two tea cultivars(Camellia sinensis cv.Xinyang 10 and Zhongcha 108)were grown at three ratios of NH4+/NO3-(4∶0,3∶1 and 0∶4)to elucidate how the ratio of NH4+/NO3- modulate the architecture of the root system by investigating root growth,N content and auxin content as well as the expression of related genes.Xinyang 10 had the highest root and shoot dry matter and root N content under mixed nutrition(3∶1)And Xinyang 10 had the longer adventitious roots under mixed nutrition relative to sole NH4+,but no difference was observed in growth of lateral root between sole NH4+ andmixed nutrition treatments.IAA content was significantly increased in the roots of Xinyang 10,but significantly decreased in its leaves.Response of Zhongcha 108 to ratios of NH4+/NO3- was different from Xinyang 10.Shoot biomass and N content of root and shoot in Zhongcha 108 were significantly reduced under mixed nutrition relative to sole NH4+,while length of adventitious root increased,but not reaching statistical significance. Compared with sole NH4+,mixed nutrition increased length of lateral root but decreased the number and density of lateral roots in Zhongcha 108.And the IAA content in roots of Zhongcha 108 was significantly reduced under mixed nutrition relative to sole NH4+,but not in its leaves.The results of qRT‑PCR showed that auxin synthetic genes CsTSA,CsNIT1,transportation genes CsPIN3a,CsPIN3b and response genes CsARF3,CsIAA27 in roots of Xinyang 10 were significantly up‑regulated under mixed nutrition compared with sole NH4+;however,auxin synthetic genes CsNIT1,CsNIT2,transportation CsABCB4 and response genes CsARF1,CsARF3,CsARF5,CsARF6 in roots of Zhongcha 108 were significantly down‑regulated under mixed nutrition compared with sole NH4+. In conclusion,Xinyang 10 and Zhongcha 108 have genotypic differences when responding to N forms.The former is tolerant to NO3- and suitable for growth at the ratio of NH4+/NO3- as 3∶1,while the latter is sensitive to NO3- and suitable for growth under sole NH4+ nutrition. Under the ratio of NH4+/NO3- at 3∶1,auxin transport to roots of Xinyang 10 increases but to those of Zhongcha 108 decreases,which may be one of the physiological mechanisms conferring different response of different tea roots to N forms.

    In this study,219 wheat varieties(lines)derived from Zhou 8425B were used as test materials,and the molecular markers of four main dwarf genes[reduced height 1(Rht1),Rht2Rht8 and Rht24]were used to detect them to determine the distribution,combination type and influence of the dwarf genes on plant height and yield related traits of wheat,so as to lay the foundation for the continuous genetic research of core wheat parent Zhou 8425B and the application of molecular marker‑assisted selection for dwarf genes in wheat.The results showed that the distribution frequencies of dwarf genes Rht1Rht2,Rht8 and Rht24 were 94.52%,100.00%,42.00% and 97.26% in varieties(lines)derived from Zhou 8425B,respectively.Among the 219 samples,the type of single dwarf gene wasn’t found;instead,various dwarf genes were found to coexist in combination. There were seven combination types for the four dwarf genes,namely Rht1+Rht2Rht2+Rht8Rht2+Rht24Rht1+Rht2+Rht8Rht1+Rht2+Rht24Rht2+Rth8+Rth24 and Rth1+Rth2+Rth8+Rth24.The frequency of Rht1+Rht2+Rht24 was the highest with 53.42%,and the frequency of Rht2+Rht8 was the lowest with 0.46%.For single dwarf gene,Rht8 had the strongest culm reduction effect,while Rht1 had the weakest;for dwarf gene combination,Rht1+Rht2 combination had the strongest culm reduction effect,while Rht1+Rht2+Rht8 combination had the weakest. For single dwarf gene,Rht2 genotype had the highest yield,with plant height of 77.38 cm;the yield of Rht8 genotype was the lowest,with plant height of 76.71 cm. For dwarf gene combination,Rht2+Rht8 combination had the highest yield,with plant height of 78.21 cm;the combination of Rht1+Rht2 had the lowest yield,with plant height of 75.85 cm.The results of correlation analysis between yield‑related traits and four dwarf genes showed that,in a certain range,proper increase of plant height was beneficial to the increase of plant biomass,harvest index and yield.Three wheat materials with higher yields were selected,including Zhengmai 103,Cunmai 13 and Zhongyu 1220,with plant heights of 82.79 cm,78.71 cm and 82.50 cm,respectively,and their dwarf gene combination was all Rht1+Rht2+Rht24.

    This study explored the genetic diversity and phylogenetic relationships of Origanum vulgare and its relative species Origanum majorana distributed in different regions of Henan Province,to provide a reference for the protection and development of O. vulgare and O.majorana germplasm resources.Using the sequence‑related amplified polymorphism(SRAP)molecular marker method,7 wild populations of O.vulgare and 1 cultivated population,as well as 1 cultivated population of O.majorana,totaling 77 germplasm resources of 9 populations,were selected for genetic diversity analysis and construction of a DNA fingerprint map. The results indicated that 9 pairs of primers amplified a total of 98 bands,with 94 polymorphic bands,representing a polymorphism rate of 95. 92%;on average,each pair of primers amplified 10. 89 bands. The number of alleles(Na)was 1.959 2,the effective number of alleles(Ne)was 1. 419 5,Nei gene diversity index(H)was 0.263 2,and Shannon’s index(I)was 0.411 9.The UPGMA phylogenetic cluster diagram constructed based on SRAP molecular marker data showed that the genetic similarity coefficient ranged from 0.66 to 0.95.When the genetic similarity coefficient was 0.66,O.vulgare and O.majorana were divided into two separate branches. At a genetic similarity coefficient of 0.75,O.vulgare from different regions were divided into five branches. In summary,SRAP molecular markers can effectively distinguish between O.vulgare and O.majorana,and the genetic diversity of O.vulgare populations in Nanyang,Henan Province,is higher than that in other areas. Five pairs of SRAP primers(Me1/em6、Me1/em11、Me3/em4、Me3/em11、Me5/em3)are selected to construct DNA fingerprint maps for both O.vulgare and O.majorana germplasms.

    To explore multifunctional beneficial microbial strains that promote tobacco growth,bacterial strains with growth⁃promoting potential were isolated from the rhizosphere soil of healthy crops in Jiaxian County,Pingdingshan City,Henan Province.The bacterial strains were identified through morphological,physiological,biochemical analyses,and 16S rDNA sequence analysis.Their growth⁃promoting effects were confirmed through petri dish seed germination tests and pot experiments involving tobacco. The results indicated that strains JLS0502 and JLS0413 had indole⁃3⁃acetic acid(IAA)concentrations of 28.35 mg/L and 22.03 mg/L in their fermentation broths, respectively, with 1⁃aminocyclopropane⁃1⁃carboxylic acid(ACC)deaminase activities of 546.64 U/L and 521.21 U/L.Both strains also exhibited phosphate solubilization,potassium release,and nitrogen fixation capabilities.Identification confirmed that strain JLS0502 was Leclercia adecarboxylata,while strain JLS0413 was Enterobacter ludwigii.Treatment with strains JLS0502 and JLS0413 significantly improved the germination rate of tobacco seeds and promoted root elongation. Pot experiments showed that strains JLS0502 and JLS0413 significantly improved agronomic traits,including plant height,fresh weight,and root morphology of tobacco. Specifically,compared to the uninoculated control,the plant height,total fresh weight,root fresh weight,total root surface area,and total root volume increased by 66.05%,55.82%,59.30%,22.55%,29.37%,and 75.38%,66.29%,105.23%,90.15%,and 140.48%,respectively.Furthermore,the levels of plant hormones,including brassinolide(BR),gibberellin(GA),and indole⁃3⁃acetic acid(IAA),as well as the activities of defense enzymes,such as phenylalanine ammonia lyase(PAL),catalase(CAT),peroxidase(POD),polyphenol oxidase(PPO),and superoxide dismutase(SOD),were significantly higher in the tobacco leaves than in the control group.These findings highlight the significant growth⁃promoting effects of strains JLS0502 and JLS0413 on tobacco.

    Journal of Henan Agricultural Sciences    2025, 54 (1): 109-118.   DOI: 10.15933/j.cnki.1004-3268.2025.01.011
    Abstract563)      PDF (1762KB)(472)       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.

    Gray mold caused by Botrytis cinerea is one of the main diseases of tomatoes,which severely affects the yield and quality of tomatoes. In order to achieve the early and rapid detection of tomato gray mold,by using the ACTIN gene of Botrytis cinerea as the target gene,and based on the loop‐mediated isothermal amplification(LAMP)technology,a set of LAMP specific primers was designed and screened,and the reaction system and reaction conditions were optimized to realize the rapid isothermal amplification of Botrytis cinerea.Through agarose gel electrophoresis and SYBR Green Ⅰ visualization analysis,the optimal dosages of Bst Ⅱ DNA polymerase and dNTPs,as well as the optimal ratio of inner and outer primers,were determined to be 0.6 U/μL,1.25 mmol/L,and 2∶1 respectively.The specific detection of Botrytis cinerea could be achieved at 61 ℃ for 40 min,and its sensitivity could reach 100 ag/μL,which was 106 times the sensitivity of ordinary PCR detection. When this method was applied to the detection of tomato diseases,the spores detection limit for Botrytis cinerea could reach 20 spores/mL,and the pathogen could be detected in tomato leaves that had been infected for 4 days without obvious phenotypic symptoms of gray mold,making it applicable for the early,rapid,sensitive and visual detection of tomato gray mold.

    The aim is to explore the influence of different formula fertilization and fertilization techniques on leaf mineral nutrients,soil enzyme activity,soil effective nutrient content and fruit quality of Carya illinoensis.Five treatments for different formula fertilization tests,namely OPT(Nutrient experts systematically recommend fertilization),OPT‑N(No nitrogen fertilizer),OPT‑P(No phosphorus fertilizer),OPT‑K(No potassium fertilizer)and CK(No fertilizer),respectively;five treatments were designed for different fertilization techniques,according to time,frequency and proportion and fertilization method. Mineral nutrient,soil enzyme activity,effective nutrient content,oil content and fatty acid content were determined in different periods.Different formula fertilization significantly changed the soil enzyme activity,soil effective nutrient content,plant leaf mineral nutrient content and fruit quality,among which the OPT‑P and OPT‑K treatments had higher soil nutrient absorption and utilization efficiency. Soil phosphatase and urease activities were higher in OPT‑P,sucrase was higher in OPT,and catalase was higher in OPT‑N.The oil content of OPT‑P fruit kernels was significantly increased by 8.23 percentage points over the CK treatment,and there was no significant difference in unsaturated fatty acid content among the treatments.The soil effective N,P,K content and organic matter content with different fertilization techniques were significantly lower than the control treatment,and fertilizing 70% in early March and 30% in early June could improve the leaf nutrient content of N,and K,soil sucrase and catalase activities,the oil rate of fruit kernels was 7.38 percentage points higher than the control.In summary,OPT‑P formula fertilization and twice from the shallow to the deep radial ditch can promote the soil nutrients and increase the oil content of fruit kernels.
