Correlation of Microspore Development Period and Flower Morphological Characteristics of Chinese Flowering Cabbage PANG Qiangqiang,LI Deming,ZHOU Man,ZHU Baibi,ZHAO Shuniu,CAI Xinglai Chinese Journal of Tropical Crops    2019, 40 (1): 54-60.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-2561.2019.01.008 Abstract （1331）   HTML （11211）    PDF（pc） （639KB）（1882）       Knowledge map    Save The cytological characteristics of microspores in Chinese flowering cabbage at different developmental periods were studied to reveal the relationship between microspore development and buds morphology, which would provide evidences for the culturing of anthers and microspores. The results showed that the microspore developed in tetrad, early- or mid-uninucleate, late-uninucleate and binucleate stages obviously. The microspore development showed correlativity with the morphological characteristics of buds and anthers. The buds 3.05-3.39 mm in height, the calyx 3.25-3.46 mm in length, the petal 2.10-2.33 mm in length, the ratio of flap to calyx 0.63-0.71, the anther 2.57-2.89 mm in length, and the ratio of flap 0.77-0.85 were discovered to contain microspores at the late uninucleate. These were suitable for the identification of optimal sampling period of flower buds in different materials. At the late uninucleate stage, it was necessary that the anthers should be covered by the sepal, the anthers slightly longer than petals, and the flower bud was full, the petals and anthers showed pale yellow. Therefore, we can judge the development stage of Chinese flowering cabbage microspore by morphological characteristics of flower organs so as to define the standard of bud selection in correspondence with the optimal stage of anthers culture.

There was abundant genetic variability in the 17 anatomical structure traits of the leaves of the 70 Wuyi Mingcong, with an average genetic diversity index of 1.85 and an average coefficient of variation of 17.64%. Strong stress resistance was found for all the germplasms. The mean value of the average membership function of drought resistance, disease and insect resistance and the average score of the cold resistance was 0.40, 0.39 and 1.28, respectively. Most of them were suited for making Oolong tea or green tea, while a few were suited for making black tea or both black and green tea. The average productivity index was 2648.85, indicating a higher potential productivity. The cluster analysis based on the anatomical structure traits of leaves showed that the 70 Wuyi Mingcong were divided into three groups. In addition to the thickness of upper and lower epidermis cuticle, the thickness ratio of upper epidermis to sponge tissue and the crystal number of calcium oxalate, other anatomical structure traits showed significantly or extremely significant difference among the three groups. The principal component analysis showed that the characteristic value of the former four principal components were bigger than one and represented 84.26% of the information of 17 anatomical structure traits of leaves. The composite scores of each Wuyi Mingcong were calculated based on the principal component and their corresponding characteristic value. The top ten Wuyi Mingcong had excellent comprehensive characters, which could be used in the development and innovative utilization of Oolong tea products, the selection and breeding of excellent tea varieties. The results were expected to provide references for the identification and utilization of local excellent tea germplasm resources and the breeding of new varieties in Wuyi Mountain.

However, due to the ubiquity of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in environmental medium, the combination of Fe with DOM may affect the determination of Fe in solution. Therefore, the effect of DOM between atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and colorimetry for Fe determination was tested. Precision of AAS was as good as colorimetry, both of them were less than 5%. However, AAS was more accurate with a recovery rate of 86.4%-97.8% and its detection limit was as low as 0.012 mg/L. DOM had a significant effect on colorimetry. The presence of DOM increased testing time and relative standard deviation of 11.5 h, 1.2%-22.2%, respectively. Moreover, the accuracy was also decreased by 28.3%-44.4%. As the concentration of DOM increasing, the accuracy was decreased in the tendency of exponential function, and the trend of the veracity fitted well with unary quadratic model. Moreover, the effect of DOM was greater with the decreasing concentration of iron. On the contrary, the presence of DOM had no significant influence on AAS. The results of EEMs and FTIR indicated that existed hydrogen bonding or π-π interaction occurred between DOM and Fe/phen that affected the interaction of Fe and colorimetry in a drive to influence the testing results.

Because the sexual reproduction of Bougainvillea is difficult, mutation breeding is an available breeding method. The present study used ethylmethane sulfonate (EMS), sodium azide (NaN3) and pingyangmycin (PYM) to mutagenize the cuttings of B. glabra ‘Mrs. Eva’ and B. × buttiana ‘Miss Manila’, respectively. In 20 h EMS treatments, the half lethal dose of ‘Mrs. Eva’ and ‘Miss Manila’ cuttings was 0.22% and 0.62%, respectively. With the increasing of EMS concentration, the shoot number and length of the longest branch of two Bougainvillea varieties showed a decreasing trend, while the chlorophyll and carotenoid content increased gradually. With the increasing of EMS concentration, the leaf hue of ‘Mrs. Eva’ changed to grayish tone and that of ‘Miss Manila’ changed to red tone gradually. Almost all ‘Mrs. Eva’ cuttings died in 20 h NaN3 treatments, while the survival rate of ‘Miss Manila’ cuttings was 82%-92%. With the increasing of NaN3 concentration, the shoot number of ‘Miss Manila’ decreased significantly. 20 h PYM treatments significantly improved the length of the longest branch of two Bougainvillea varieties in contrast to the control, but had no significant influence on the survival rate. Moreover, variant seedlings were found in EMS and PYM treatments, representing transformative leaf margin, wrinkled leaf surface or double leaf tips.

Due to its biological characteristics, the commonly used method of foliar spray is inefficiency and causes problems of excessive pesticide residue. In order to explore the control methods and effective agents for controlling P. striolata, the effects of 2% thiamethoxam and cypermethrin granules on the field control efficiency and yield of P. striolata were evaluated by soil treatment with mustard as the experimental vegetable. 2% thiamethoxam-cypermethrin granules had a strong control effect on P. striolata. At the dosage of 2 kg/667 m 2, the control effect was 76.67%, 72.00% and 70.64% at 14, 21 and 28 d, respectively. At the same time, the agent also had a certain effect on promoting the growth of mustard. The total yield at the dose of 2 kg/667 m 2 was 58.80% higher than that of the untreated fields. The residue analysis of mustard postharvest showed that the residue of thiamethoxam and cypermethrin in mustard and soil was less than 0.5 mg/kg, which met the corresponding terms of National standard for food safety-maximum residue limits for pesticides in foods (GB 2763-2016). Therefore, it is safe and effective to apply 2% thiamethoxam - cypermethrin granules to control P. striolata on mustard. In addition, the soil application method used in this study was a one-time application, which greatly reduced the dosage and labor cost compared with foliar spraying.

Parasitic Behavior of Coccophagus japonicus Compere LI Xian,FU Yueguan,ZHU Junhong,WU Xiaoshuang,CHEN Junyu,LI Lei,HAN Dongyin,NIU Liming,ZHANG Fangping Chinese Journal of Tropical Crops    2019, 40 (3): 535-540.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-2561.2019.03.017 Abstract （534）   HTML （5392）    PDF（pc） （401KB）（825）       Knowledge map    Save Coccophagus japonicus Compere is one of the important natural enemies of Parasaissetia nigra Nietner. In order to understand the parasitic behavior of the parasitic wasp and the effect of female body size on oviposition, the parasitic behavior of the parasite wasp and the oviposition of female wasps with different body sizes were observed in the laboratory. The results showed that the parasitic process of C. japonicus Compere consisted of five stages: searching for hosts, identifying hosts, probing by ovipositor, laying eggs and post-oviposition treatment. The parasitic duration, parasitic rate, and average egg numbers increased with the parasitic time. The coincidence ratio between parasitic frequency and egg number decreased with the parasitic time. When the wasps parasitized for the first time, the parasitic duration, the parasitism rate, the coincidence ratio between parasitic frequency and egg number, the average egg number was 19.75 s, 73.12%, 69.89% and 0.76, respectively; When the wasps parasitized the same hosts for the third time, the parasitic duration, the parasitism rate, the coincidence ratio between parasitic frequency and egg number and the average egg number was 24.37, 83.33%, 8.33% and 1.67, correspondingly. There was a positive correlation between the body size of female wasps and oviposition, and the daily fecundity and parasitic rate of female wasps increased with the body sizes of female wasps. When the body length of female wasps is less than 1.20 mm, the average fecundity and parasitic rate were relatively smaller, which was 16.83 and 49.4%, respectively. When the body length was between 1.40 mm and 1.50 mm, the average fecundity and parasitic rate was 33.06 and 72.3%, respectively. When the body length was longer than 1.50 mm, the average fecundity and parasitic rate was 37.5 and 72.2%, respectively; The length of the posterior tibia of female wasps had a similar effect on oviposition and parasitic rate. It is suggested that the larger female wasps should be used in the reproduction expansion. Table and Figures | Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Research Progress on DNA Methylation During Plant Tissue Culture SHI Peng,WANG Yong,JIN Longfei,ZHANG Dapeng,ZHAO Zhihao,CAO Hongxing,LEI Xintao Chinese Journal of Tropical Crops    2019, 40 (1): 199-207.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-2561.2019.01.029 Abstract （1352）   HTML （11499）    PDF（pc） （454KB）（772）       Knowledge map    Save Tissue culture is the important technical basis for plant asexual propagation and genetic transformation. Tissue culture includes explants dedifferentiation, callus formation, callus redifferentiation and plantlets formation. DNA methylation pattern is constantly changing during tissue culture, which means many epigenetic reprogramming events occur in cells. Generally speaking, DNA methylation can promote or accelerate the tissue culture process, it’s very important for many plants that are difficult to regenerate. The paper mainly summarizes the pattern change and molecular mechanism of DNA methylation during plant tissue culture, as well as new methods and ideas. We hope the paper could help the study of DNA methylation in plant tissue culture. Reference | Related Articles | Metrics

Bioinformatics Analysis of PEPC Gene Family in Pineapple MA Haiyang,ZHAO Qiufang,CHEN Shu,SHI Weiqi,XIAN Aimin Chinese Journal of Tropical Crops    2020, 41 (1): 97-103.   DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1000-2561.2020.01.014 Abstract （869）   HTML （353）    PDF（pc） （959KB）（762）       Knowledge map    Save Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (PEPC) plays an important role in assimilating atmospheric CO2 during C4 and Crassulacean acid metabolism (CAM) photosynthesis, and participates in various nonphotosynthetic processes, including fruit ripening, stomatal opening, supporting carbon-nitrogen interactions, seed formation and germination, and regulation of plant tolerance to stresses. Pineapple is a typical CAM plant. In order to understand the function of PEPC gene in pineapple CAM photosynthesis pathway, three PEPC genes were identified in pineapple and nominated as AcPEPC1/AcPEPC3/AcPEPC4 according to the gene description. Phylogenetic analysis showed that AcPEPC1 and AcPEPC3 protein belonged to the plant type PEPC (PTPCs) subfamily, which had high sequence homology. Gene structure, conserved domain and conserved motif of AcPEPC1 and AcPEPC3 had high similarity. AcPEPC4 belonged to the bacterial type of PEPC (BTPCs) subfamily which had low sequence homology with AcPEPC1/AcPEPC3. Different tissues expression assay showed that the expression of AcPEPC1 was high in leaves, and AcPEPC3 and AcPEPC4 was highly expressed in flowers and fruits.
