    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.

    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.

    To enhance the automation of deep convolutional neural network(CNN)design and improve fine‑grained flower image classification accuracy,an advanced neural network search approach based on differentiable architecture search(DARTS) was proposed.This method automatically constructed fine‑grained flower image classification models.Initially,an attention‑convolution module was constructed to create a comprehensive attention‑convolution search space,thereby increasing the network’s focus on discriminative features. Subsequently,a densely connected reduction cell(DCR cell)with more shallow feature input nodes was developed to retain additional shallow feature information,reducing the loss of discriminative feature information and promoting multi‑scale feature fusion.Lastly,the positions of DCR cells were adjusted when stacking the best cells to create network models of varying parameter sizes,enabling deployment on a broader range of terminal devices.The results showed that this method took approximately 4.5 hours to find the optimal neural network model,achieving classification accuracies of 96.14% on the Oxford 102 dataset and 94.12% on the Flower 17 dataset.Compared with methods like AGNAS,it improved accuracy by 1.40 percentage points on Oxford 102 and 3.09 percentage points on Flower 17.

    To screen HD‑ZIP genes(SmHD‑ZIPs)in Salvia miltiorrhiza in response to high temperature stress,SmHD‑ZIPs were identified and analyzed by bioinformatics,and the expression pattern of SmHD‑ZIPs under high temperature stress was detected by qPCR. The results showed that there were 44 HD‑ZIP genes in S.miltiorrhiza,most of which were unevenly distributed on 8 chromosomes. SmHD‑ZIPs could be divided into four subfamilies:HD‑ZIP Ⅰ,HD‑ZIP Ⅱ,HD‑ZIP Ⅲ,HD‑ZIP Ⅳ. The sequence analysis results showed that the amino acid residues of these proteins ranged from 180 to 982,and the relative molecular weight of these proteins ranged from 20. 947 ku to 109. 620 ku. SmHD‑ZIPs were hydrophilic proteins without transmembrane domain,and most of them did not contain signal peptides.The isoelectric points of SmHD‑ZIPs were between 4. 48 and 10. 91,and they were almost expressed in the nucleus with the poor protein stability. Among the 44 SmHD‑ZIP genes,there were 10 gene duplication events,all of which were purified selection. The results of structure and motif analysis showed that the exon number of members of the same subfamily was basically the same,and the members of HD‑ZIP Ⅲ subfamily had the largest exon number and the largest motif number. Motifs 1 and 6 were conserved motifs of SmHD‑ZIP,motifs 10,11,12,13 and 15 was unique to the HD‑ZIP Ⅲ subfamily,while motif 5 were unique to the HD‑ZIP IV subfamily. By analyzing the expression patterns of SmHD‑ZIPs under high temperature(37℃)stress,it was found that the number of genes with increased and decreased expression was basically the same. Among the genes with up‑regulated expression,the expression levels of SmHD‑ZIP1.11,SmHD‑ZIP1.13,SmHD‑ZIP2.2,SmHD‑ZIP2.5,SmHD‑ZIP3.1,SmHD‑ZIP3.4,SmHD‑ZIP4.9,SmHD‑ZIP4.10 and SmHD‑ZIP4.12 were increased by more than 10 times,which could be used as candidate gene resources to improve the heat resistance of S.miltiorrhiza.

    To explore safe and efficient chemical weed control technologies for sesame after emergence,the herbicides that exhibit high safety for sesame and have good control effects on broadleaf weeds were screened through indoor potting experiments and field trials. The results of the indoor trials showed that among the 17 broadleaf herbicides,only isoproturon and bentazone were discovered to be highly safe for sesame.Futher,the safety of isoproturon and bentazone to sesame and their control efficacy against broadleaf weeds were evaluated through field trials. The results showed that the treatment of isoproturon at 420—630 g/ha(active ingredient,the same below)caused phytotoxicity in sesame,such as the emergence of drug spots and growth inhibition,etc. Nevertheless,sesame growth recovered to normal within 30 d after the treatment. Sesame treated with 336—420 g/ha bentazone had significantly higher plant height than the control treatment at 30 d after the treatment,but was significantly lower than the artificial weeding treatment. The total plant control efficacy of isoproturon at 420—630 g/ha against broadleaf weeds such as Acalypha australis L.and Clinopodium polycephalum Vaniot was 84.00%—90.40%,the total fresh weight control efficacy was 87.62%—94.30%,and the sesame seed yield increased by more than 37%.The control efficacy of bentazone at a dosage of 336—504 g/ha against Acalypha australis L.was unsatisfactory,with the total plant control efficiency being lower than 40% and the total fresh weight control efficiency being lower than 57%,and sesame yield was merely increased by 11.53%—14.72%.In conclusion,the application of isoproturon at 420—630 g/ha during the 5—6 leaves stage of sesame is safe and can be used for the control of broadleaf weeds in sesame fields,presenting significant application prospects.

    In order to determine the effects of resistance genotypes and backcross times on Fusarium head blight(Fhb)resistance and agronomic traits of progeny materials,the main resistance genes Fhb1,Fhb2 and Fhb7 were pyramided in Zhengmai 1860,which was a widely planted variety in southern Huanghuai,by backcross transformation and molecular marker‑assisted selection.The Fhb resistance and main agronomic traits of different genotypes and backcross generations were analyzed.The results showed that Fhb1,Fhb2 and Fhb7 could increase the Fhb resistance by 38.9%—76.9%,and there was no significant correlation between these three resistance genes and the bad agronomic traits such as high culm,low density spikelet and low thousand‑grain weight. The percentage of scabbed spikelets of BC1F2,BC2F2,BC3Fpopulations in two years were 37.8%,31.4%,37.8% and 43.4%,45.8% 43.3%,respectively.Fhb resistance did not decrease with the increase of backcross times. With the increase of backcross times,the plant height of the progeny population materials decreased from 84.95 cm to 70.49 cm,the number of fruiting spikelets per panicle increased from 20.48 to 21.24,the panicle length increased from 10.23 cm to 10.49 cm,and the thousand‑grain weight increased from 37.36 g to 44.80 g.The main agronomic traits of the progeny population materials after three backcrosses were similar to those of the resistance gene receptor parent variety.The new germplasms Zhengzi2021CH182‑33 and Zhengzi2021CH182‑41 bred in this study with excellent comprehensive agronomic properties and Fhb resistance can be further used as disease‑resistance parents.

    Southern corn rust(SCR)is a major maize disease worldwide. In this study,a BC1F4 population including 165 families was derived from the cross between the susceptible line Lx9801 and the resistant line TY4,which was used for dissecting the QTLs for resistance to SCR.A 23K‑SNP chip was used for genotyping the family lines of the BC1F4 population as well as the parental lines. In total 4 654 polymorphic SNP markers between the parental lines were selected to construct the high‑density genetic linkage map. Combined with the phenotype evaluation of resistance to SCR in three environments,a total of six QTLs against SCR were detected,which could explain 3.93%—17.87% of the phenotypic variation.Among these QTLs,one QTL located on chromosome 6(i.e.,qSCR6.01)was a stable QTL in all three environments,which could explain up to 17.87% of the phenotypic variation.The BC1F5 population including 366 families was used for fine‑mapping qSCR6.01.Combined with marker development in the QTL region and resistance identification of key recombinant plants,the QTL was finally narrowed down to the interval of 4.09 Mb between the markers M3 and M4,and temporarily named as RppT.

    Rapid test strips for the detection of imidacloprid,profenofos and carbofuran were developed based on colloidal gold immunochromatography,and its application effect in the detection of garlic and cabbage was evaluated.The test strips for rapid detection of imidacloprid,profenofos and carbofuran were established by preparation of colloidal gold by reduction with trisodium citrate,with the monoclonal antibodies of imidacloprid,profenofos and carbofuran labeled with colloidal gold particles as the detection probes,nitrocellulose membrane as the solid‑phase carrier,imidacloprid‑BSA,profenofos‑BSA and carbofuran‑BSA conjugate as the detection lines,and goat anti‑mouse IgG antibody as the control line.The parameter conditions,including gold‑labeled antibody usage,concentrations of antibody for labeling,and concentration of the coating antigen were optimized. Under the optimal condition,the sensitivity,specificity and stability,as well as the accuracy of the test strips were evaluated.With optimization of sample extraction,the test strips were employed for the detection of pesticides in two vegetable samples by negative detection and addition of standardized pesticide products.The results showed that in the optimized process parameters,the concentrations of colloidal gold labeled antibody of imidacloprid,profenofos and carbofuran were 9.6,8.4,9.6 μg/mL,respectively,the concentrations of the antigens coated were all 0.3 mg/mL,and the detection time was about 15 min.The limits of detection of imidacloprid,profenofos and carbofuran were 20,3 000,and 20 ng/mL,which were in compliance with the limits of the national standard for the two kinds of vegetables.There was no cross‑reactivity and good specificity in the detection of other drugs with similar function and structure as imidacloprid,profenofos and carbofuran.The most suitable extractants for carbofuran and imidacloprid pesticides were 4 mL of ethyl acetate and 4 mL of methanol,respectively,with a sample size of 2 g and a supernatant of 3 mL;for profenofos pesticide,the most suitable extractant was 9 mL of ethyl acetate,with a sample size of 3 g and a supernatant of 8 mL,and the supernatant was dried with nitrogen gas.The detection results of 50 negative and spiked samples of vegetables showed a false positive rate of 6% and a false negative rate of 0.It can be seen that the developed test strips are suitable for on‑site rapid detection of garlic and cabbage as well as screening of a large number of samples in grass‑roots laboratories,and can provide an effective regulatory tool for the control of pesticide residues in garlic and cabbage.
