WANG Ding-feng, ZENG Ming-sen, WANG Qing-sen, LIU Feng-jing, WU Guang-yuan
2011, 26(4): 507-512.
Abstract:
Beauveria bassiana is one of the most important entomopathogenic fungi.It plays a crucial role in biocontrol of the farming and forestry pests.The chitinase gene,Bbchit1,was cloned from JYBb201-11 isolate of Beauveria bassiana,which is highly virulent to Homona coffearia.The expected DNA fragments were amplified by DNA-PCR,and the total RNA-RT-PCR with a pair of primers.The fragments were introduced into DH5 isolate of Escherichia coli by PMD18-T vector,and sequenced subsequently.The results from DNA-PCR and the total RNA-RT-PCR showed that the fragments were both 1047 bp.The gene consisted of an open reading frame with 1047 bp(GenBank accession NO.HQ435871),encoding 348 amino acids,which contains an N-terminal 22 amino acid residue displaying the characteristics of a signal peptide.The mature chitinase had a molecular mass of 36.78 kD and a calculated pI of 5.95.The protein sequence contained two conserved regions including a putative substrate binding site(SIGG)and catalytic domain(DGIDIDIE)of fungal chitinases.The chitinase belonged to the class V of family 18 of glycosyl hydrolases.The analysis showed that the deduced amino acid sequence was 99.43% homologous to that of B.bassiana strain Bb0062(AAN41259)and B.bassiana strain NCIM1216(ACF32998),and 98.28% to that of B.bassiana strain MTCC 2028(ACZ28129).

2011, 26(4): 513-518.
Abstract:
We isolated a female gamete to a fertility-related mutant,from a T-DNA insertional population of indica rice.The transgenic plants carrying a T-DNA insertion displayed phenomena that hygromycin resistance and sensitivity segregation ratios showed 1∶1 by 2-test and the homozygous progeny was not found in 6 successive generations.Reciprocal crosses between heterozygous plants and the wild types showed that the allele could not be transmitted through the female.Statistical analysis showed that the ripening rate of exogenous marker gene hpt with the plant has occurred almost half of the female gamete abortion,embryo sac fertility and closely linked to the hpt gene.Southern-blot showed that the mutant carried with a copy of T-DNA insertion.All of these indicated that the mutant is a gametophyte ovary sterile mutant caused by T-DNA insertion(tentatively named as female gametogenesis sterile 1,fgs1).Cytologic observation showed that pollen fertility of fgs1 was as normal as the wild type minghui 86,but the development of female gamete was blocked.In the female gamete of fgs1 mutant,we found that egg cell(E),synergids(S),antipodal cells(A)and polar nuclei(P)appeared disaggregation one by one during the 8 nucleuses period and the fertilization halted.

LIAO Chang-jian, WANG Ying-heng, LIN Jian-xin, LU He-ding, CHEN Shan-hu
2011, 26(4): 572-576.
Abstract:
Twenty-nine silage maize lines with different agronomic traits were used as parents to produce 54 hybrids by random crossing for this study.Correlation and path coefficient analyses were performed.The results showed that the straw yield,stem diameter,seed yield,node number,plant height,ear height and bract number were determined to be the key agronomic traits affecting the biomass of the silage maize.A regression equation on biomass of the maize was established.The result of the preliminary correlation analysis between biomass-related agronomic traits and quality attributes indicated that selection based on the biomass-related agronomic traits did not significantly affect the resultant maize quality,but breeding based on the straw yield-related agronomic traits reduced CP and improved NDF,as well as ADF.Therefore,in breeding new varieties of maize,considerations should be given on balancing the straw yield reduction and seed yield improvement in order to arrive at desirable high yield and good quality for the new crop variety.

YU Wen-ying, ZHAN Guang-liang, ZHANG Shao-sheng
2011, 26(4): 605-610.
Abstract:
By infection with Fusarium oxysporum in greenhouse,bacterial physiological flora of cucumber rhizosphere was changed and enzymatic activities decreased.The population of nitrobacteria and nitrite bacteria decreased in the early and peak phases of infection,thereafter which enhanced growing of aerobic azotobacter and denitrifier.The population of ammonifying bacteria and cellulose-decomposition bacteria consistently decreased during infection period.The population of rhizosphere thiobacillus dropped dramatically concomitant of increase in anti-sulfuration bacteria.The impact of nitrobacteria in cucumbers was significantly different between susceptible and resistant varieties,which may play an important role in physiologic accommodations against of cucumber Fusarium wilt.After Fusarium oxysporum infection,the activities of rhizosphere enzymes were declined significantly in catelase,urease,cellulase and alkaline-phosphatase.In early infection,the decline of activities was observed for catelase and cellulase more remarkable in susceptible varieties than in resistant varieties.However,the extent of decline in late of infection was found for urease and phosphatase but more remarkable in resistant varieties than that in susceptible.The impact of catelase in resistance to the disease was different significantly between susceptible and resistant varieties,which can be used as reference in resistant breeding.

Based on the morphological appearances and descriptions in literature,a simple and convenient method for identifying the sex of diamondback moth(DBM),Plutella xylostella(Linnaeus),was developed.The results showed that the sex of the first-and second-instar larvae was not easily distinguishable by naked eyes or optical microscopic observation.However,the male third-and fourth-instar larva showed a lighter colored fifth abdominal segment than that on the female counterparts.On the male pupae,a lump on each side of a short,longitudinal slip was visible near the gonopore on the 9th abdominal segment.The female pupae had a long,longitudinal slip between the genital pore on the 8th abdominal segment and the oviporus on the 9th segment.The adult males had characteristic brown wings with a wavy edge on the posterior margin and a yorked abdominal end.The female adults,on the other hand,were lighter in color and bigger on body size than the males,and had their abdominal ends appeared round in shape.

Abstract:
Field experiments were conducted to study the effect of Monosodium Glutamate Organic Compound Fertilizer on planting cucumber.The yield and quality of cucumber and the content of free amino acid and microbe-carbon in soil were analyzed.Results showed that the mix application of chemicals and monosodium glutamate organic fertilizers increased the cucumber yield and improved the soil quality in available N、P、K,free amino acid and biologic-carbon.Compared with chemical fertilizer,mixed compound fertilizers increased the cucumber yield about 2.5%-7.9% and improved its qualities in the contents of Vc,soluble sugar and biologic-carbon for about 4.9%-19.6%,6.7%-25.5% and 26.7%-59.5%,respectively.Concomitantly,the nitrate content of the cucumber was decreased for 0.4%-12.8%.Total carbon content of microbial biomass correlated to the organic nitrogen applied to soil with monosodium glutamate fertilizer was fitted well with one dimensional linear equation.
