    【Objective】Screening transcription factors related to soybean protein synthesis and forecasting potential genes and metabolic pathways for protein synthesis.【Methods】Using RNA-Seq technology,high-throughput sequencing of soybean seeds was carried out on Zhongdou 4901,a low protein soybean material,and Huaidou 98-28,a high protein soybean material.【Results】43.14 Gb Clean Data were obtained. Each sample had a data volume greater than 6.46 Gb,a GC content greater than 45.73%,a Q20 base percentage greater than 94.78%,and a Q30 base percentage greater than 88.53%. The data quality complied with the standards. 916 genes that were differentially expressed,248 of which were up-regulated and 668 were down-regulated. The screened differentially expressed transcription factors came from 26 transcription factor families,of which 4 families,b HLH,AP2/ERF,MYB,and B3,may contribute to soybean protein synthesis.【Conclusion】The Sec61 gene of protein conduction channel in the endoplasmic reticulum processing pathway of soybean protein was down regulated,resulting in the decrease of protein synthesis ability and decrease of protein content in some varieties. The Sec61 gene was thought to be the crucial gene for protein synthesis. Protein endoplasmic reticulum processing,thiometabolism,and glutathione metabolism were related metabolic mechanisms that contribute to the difference in protein content between varieties.

    【Objective】To comprehend the impacts of salt stress on seed germination,seedling growth,and physiological characteristics of salt tolerant and salt sensitive sunflower and to analyze the salt tolerant mechanism of sunflower from the perspectives of physiology and biochemistry.【Methods】Two sunflower inbred lines S05-10(salt tolerant)and 19S6(salt sensitive)were stressed with 50,100,150 and 200 mmol/L NaCl solutions,and distilled water treatment was used as control(CK). Germination percentage,plant height,proline content,malondialdehyde content,relative conductivity and SOD activity were measured. To analyze the effects of salt stress on seed germination,seedling growth and physiological characteristics of sunflower.【Results】Under 100,150,and 200 mmol/L NaCl stress,the germination rate of S05-10 and 19S6 significantly decreased,with the largest decreases being 55.68% and 82.11% when compared to CK(P<0.05). Under 200 mmol/L NaCl stress,the plant height of S05-10 and 19S6 reduced by 31.93% and 63.31%,respectively,compared to CK. Under 50-200 mmol/L NaCl stress,compared to CK,the proline content of S05-10 increased by 44.38%-142.62%,the malondialdehyde content increased by 7.12%-21.36%,and the relative conductivity of leaves increased by 0.04%-28.52%;while the proline content of 19S6 increased by 4.01%-19.74%,the malondialdehyde content increased by 5.00%-102.50% and the relative conductivity of leaves increased by 18.24%-28.96%. Under 100 and 150 mmol/L NaCl stress,the SOD activity of S05-10 increased by 17.77% and 20.43%,respectively,in comparison to CK. Under 50 to 200 mmol/L NaCl stress,the SOD activity of 19S6 was generally steady and increased by 1.86% to 3.73% compared to CK.【Conclusion】Under 100-200 mmol/L NaCl stress,sunflower seed germination and seedling growth were inhibited,with 19S6 showing more inhibition than S05-10 did. Under NaCl stress,19S6 suffered more serious salt damage,with serious leaf membrane lipid peroxidation and electrolyte leakage. The increase in malondialdehyde content and relative leaf conductivity were both significantly higher than those of S05-10. By accumulating more osmotic regulatory substances(proline)and boosting the activity of antioxidant enzymes(SOD)under NaCl stress,S05-10 reduced stress and improved salt tolerance. Under NaCl stress,19S6′s proline content and SOD activity did not change considerably,and its salt tolerance was evidently insufficient.

    【Objective】To investigate a more sensible grazing and fertilization mode in mildly degraded natural Leymus chinensisgrassland and to serve as a guide for raising the quality of the forage.【Methods】In a random block design,the plant height,leaf fresh weight and leaf Ca,Fe,and Zn content were measured under various grazing conditions including different grazing intensity[no grazing(CK),light grazing,medium grazing,and heavy grazing],different grazing modes[no grazing(CK),cattle herding alone,sheep herding alone,mixed grazing of cattle and sheep],as well as different fertilization modes[no fertilizer(CK),NPK compound fertilizer,humic acid fertilizer,ammonium nitrate].【Results】Heavy grazing increased the Fe content of Leymus chinensis leaves by 76% compared with CK(P<0.05). Cattle herding alone,sheep herding alone,mixed grazing of cattle and sheep increased the Fe content in Leymus chinensis leaves by 36%,174%,and 164% compared with CK(P<0.05). The Ca,Fe,and Zn content in Leymus chinensis leaves were unaffected by light or medium grazing,application of NPK compound fertilizer,humic acid fertilizer,or ammonium nitrate. In comparison with CK,applying 75,150,225 kg/hm2 NPK compound fertilizer and 1 500 kg/hm2 humic acid,the plant height of Leymus chinensis rose by 10.0%,22.1%,28.5%,and 13.0%,respectively. When 150 and 225 kg/hm2 NPK compound fertilizer were applied,the fresh weight of Leymus chinensis rose by 35.0% and 63.0%,respectively(P<0.05). The application of 75 kg/hm2 of NPK compound fertilizer 1 500 kg/hm2 of humic acid and in comparison with CK had no significant impact on the fresh weight of Leymus chinensis(P>0.05). The application of varying concentrations of ammonium nitrate had no significant effect on Leymus chinensis plant height and fresh weight(P>0.05).【Conclusion】For mildly degraded natural Leymus chinensis grassland heavy grazing,cattle herding alone,sheep herding alone,and mixed grazing of cattle and sheep all encouraged the accumulation of Fe content in the leaves of Leymus chinensisand improved the feeding quality of Leymus chinensis. Applying NPK compound fertilizer and humic acid boosted the increase in plant height and fresh weight of Leymus chinensis.

    【Objective】To clarify the effects of organic acid metabolism and soluble sugar changes on the dormancy of Gladiolus gandavensis corms,and to provide the basis for improving the precision cultivation techniques of cut flowers.【Methods】The germination experiment was carried out using current-year corms of the Gladiolus gandavensis cultivar “Pink Friendship”,which had been stored at 10 ℃ for varying lengths of time. The changes in the organic acid and soluble sugar components and contents in the dormant corm of Gladiolus gandavensis were analyzed by liquid chromatography.【Results】Under low temperature(10 ℃)treatment,the dormancy of Gladiolus gandavensis corms began to release after 20 d,and was completely released after 60 d. The processes of dormancy and dormancy release were associated with isoleucine(Ile),lysine(Lys),proline(Pro),aminobutyric acid(GABA),malic acid(MA),and citric acid(CA).The contents of these organic acids increased at 60 d,with the contents of GABA and CA changing most significantly(P<0.05). The content of soluble sugar in Gladiolus gandavensis corm significantly increased at 40 d(P<0.05),while the content of glucose,maloccharide,and maltose decreased at 60 d. The sugar-acid ratio of dormant corms decreased when dormancy was partially released,increased when dormancy was completely released.【Conclusion】The release of dormancy in Gladiolus gandavensis corms was closely correlated with variations in the contents of organic acid and soluble sugar.

The effects of various hormone doses on the induction,proliferation,and rooting of adventitious buds were examined to determine the optimal medium for Xanthoceras sorbifolia tissue culture.【Results】For adventitious bud induction,MS+0.10 mg/L TDZ+1.00 mg/L 6-BA+0.02 mg/L NAA+0.50 mg/L AC(activated carbon)medium had the highest induction rate of 68.57%. MS+0.5 mg/L 6-BA+0.2 mg/L IBA+0.1 mg/L AC+1.0 mg/L GA3+1.0 g/L Ca(NO3)2 medium had the highest proliferation coefficient of 3.20. Rooting medium 1/2MS+0.5 mg/L IBA had the highest rooting rate of 65.56%. Equal proportion mixture of perlite,pine needle soil and pastoral soil as the transplanting medium significantly increased the survival rate of sorbent seedlings,which was 88.75%.【Conclusion】The optimal adventitious bud medium was MS+0.10 mg/L TDZ+1.00 mg/L 6-BA+0.02 mg/L NAA+0.50 mg/L AC. The optimal proliferation medium was MS+0.5 mg/L 6-BA+0.2 mg/L IBA+0.1 mg/L AC+1.0 mg/L GA3+1.0 g/L Ca(NO3)2. The optimal rooting medium was 1/2MS+0.5 mg/L IBA. And the optimal transplanting medium was equal proportion mixture of perlite,pine needle soil and pastoral soil.

    【Objective】Understanding the pollen,fruit,and seed surfaces morphological traits of Pugionium Gaertn. and provide basis for the evolutionary history and the classification of species within the Pugionium Gaertn. genus.【Methods】The morphological features of Pugionium Gaertn. pollen,fruit,and seeds were observed using a Hitachi S-530 scanning electron microscope,and the observation results were analyzed.【Results】The pollen of Pugionium Gaertn. was small to medium-sized,long spherical,with three germinating grooves(P/E 1.23-1.43),reticular carving,deep and large mesh,and numerous rectangular holes on the ridge. The germination groove of P. dolabratum var. platypterum H. L. Yang was shorter and shallower than those of P. cornutum(L.)Gaertn.,P. calcaratum Kom.,and P. dolabratum Maxim.,and the groove film was not apparent. The fruit of Pugionium Gaertn. were samara with nearly equal wings on either side. Among them,P. dolabratum Maxim.,P. dolabratum var. platypterum H. L. Yang and P. calcaratum Kom. had flat angles between the wings while P. cornutum(L.)Gaertn. had an obtuse angle between the wings. P. dolabratum var. platypterum H. L. Yang had the widest wing,and P. dolabratum Maxim. had the longest wing. The seed coat of Pugionium Gaertn. was glossy yellowish brown with barely perceptible seed pores. The hilum was located at the base of the ventral surface. The seed of P. calcaratumKom. was biconvex shape with no dip at the raphe,which was different from the kidney shape of other species,with obvious depression on both sides of the raphe P. dolabratum var. platypterum H. L. Yang seeds had reticulated shallow dish-shaped surface with hairs on the murus,in contrast to other species′irregular mesh.【Conclusion】The pollen and seed coat micromorphology revealed that within the genus there were intraspecific similarities as well as interspecific distinctiveness,supporting the idea that P. dolabratum var. platypterum H. L. Yang was a distinct species.
