Abstract:
The genetic variation coefficients,broad heritabilities.genetic advances,correlation coefficients,correlative heritabilities and path coefficients of main quantitative characters of the selective peanut germplasm resources in Fujian were studied.The results showed that genetic variation coefficients were larger in most characters and different among the characters.The heritabilities were also different with various characters and the genetic advances of most characters were large,indicating that significative effect should be obtained to select on these characters with a larger gentle advance.There were positive correlations among characters studied with the pod yield per plant and the pod yield per plot.Path analysis indicated that direct path coerricient was more signifocant in the 100-pod weight to the pod yield per plant positively.Direct path coerricient was also signigicant in the mature pod per plant to the pod yield per plant and showed positive value.However,direct effect was minor in the number of fruit branches to the pod yield per plant.The performence of peanut single plants in phenotype under Fujian ecological conditions also be discussed.

Abstract:
Sandy culture experiments were carried out to study the effects of the length of low temperature treatment time (0,3,6,9 hr.) on the seedcane,bud germination and seedling quality.The main results were as fellows; 1.The cane buds were softed,water-logged and destroyed after low tempterature treatments,especially in the 9 hr.treatment.However,the root primordium appeared not to be damaged.On the other hand,acid invertase activity increased and the reducing sugar content was raised for the low temperature treatment in the seedcane.2.The menifestation of lowered seedling quality,such as dwarf ness of plant and decreased numbers of leaves,was observed with the increase length of the low temperature treatment time in the seedcane.It was revealed from the principal component analysis that a well developed root system was fundermental for the high yield because of the stronger effect of low temperature on shoot than on root.3.By means of regression simulation of nine curves,germinating potential coincided with three times curves.Bud sprout slowed and the germinaring percentage decreased with the low temperature treatment time lengthed.

Abstract:
Rhizobium was introduced into rice root for nodulation and symbiosis by the addition of synthetic auxin 2,4-D (2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) (final concentration was Ippm).A number of upland rice and some lowland rice varieties have been treated since 1988.The results showed that rhizobium can be introduced into rice root to nodulate and symbiosis with rice by this method.The repetition and reappearance of inducing nodulation were very well.The date of the first nodule appearance,nodulation rate and size of nodules vavied with different rice varieties.Upland rice varieties of Fan 289033,Futiannuo and Youhan showed higher nodulation rates with larger nodule size.The diameter of nodules was about 2 to 3 mm four weeks after inoculation.Fan 289033 with highest nodulation rate(reached to 85%)anong 10 varieties tested.Nodule sections of rice were observed under electron microscope.The results showed that there were numerous rhizobia inside the nodule,indicating that rhizobium can enter rice root and propagated in the nodule.The novel association between rhizobium and rice plant revealed here may be important to the research on nodulation and nitroge fixation of non-legume plants.

Abstract:
The effects of Anabaena azollae on the heat tolerance of Azolla were conducted.Under optimum temperature regine anabaena-free Azolla grown in nitrogen-containing medium produced less biomass compared with Azolla-Anabaena association.It implied that Anabnena in the association was not only supply nitrogen to Azolla but also provied something else which was required for Azolla growth.At 37℃/29℃ (day/night) Azolla filiculoides grew poor than the corresponding Anabaena-tree Azolla grown in nitrogen-containing medium while Azolla filiculoides with the Anabaena from Azolla microfhylla (Af 135),a newly reconstituting Azolla,was able to grow much better than the Azolla with homologous Anabaena.However,Azolla microfhylla with the Anabaena from Azolla filiculoides grew and fixed nitrogen less than original one.the growth of Azlolla microfhylla was much better than Azolla filicwifos with the Anabaena from Azolla microfhylla.Therefore,the tolerance of Azolla to high temperature is determined by both host-fern and symbiont-Anabaena.

Abstract:
The average conent of availabe Zn in paddy fields of Ningde and Nanping Areas is 1.77 ppm.If the critical value of Zn deficiency for rice plant is 0.5ppm,about 30% area of paddy field in above two areas belongs to slightly Zn-deficient or potentialy Zn-deficient condition; about 10% belongs to seriously Zn-deficient condition.When the Zn content in paddy field is below 1.0ppm,the application of Zn fertilizer will receive a yield-increasing effect.In the case soil contains high Zn and available P,the Zn application will meet the requirement of high level of Zn.P nutritional balance and enhance the grain yield.The Zn application improve the protein and amino-acid contents in brown rice thus enhance the nutritional value of rice.It is suggested that Zn fertiliger will be applied in earlier stage of rice growth,and suitable amount is 15-30kg (ZnSo4,7H2O) /ha.The better Zn-applying methods are coating the roots of rice seedlings and foliage dressing.In severely Zn-deffecient soil,more high amount of Zn may be used as basal.

Abstract:
The effects of factors,such as substratum,hardening of natural lighting,seedling age,temperature and root in vivo (twing cutting) on the first transitional transplant in factory growing seedling of loquat were studied,and the effect of second trasitional cultivation on the survival rate in soil culture was discussed.The results show that:1.The suitable substrata for trasitional cultivation of tissue culture seedling (TCS) are peat soil and the materials consisted of 70%peat soil and 30%black soil.2.The relationship between hardening of natural lighting from 0-30 days and the survival rate of first transitional transplant is rectilinear relation.The TCS should be hardened by natural lighting for 30 days before first transitional transplant.3.The survival rate of first transitional transplant is high in aged seedling.The seedling age of 40-60 days is suitable for transplant to reduce the growing seedling period.4.The average air temperature during first transitional transplant of TCS is about 20℃,and the suitable range is 15-24℃.The TCS can be transplanted all the year round,but in consideration of advantages and disadvantages the transplant of TCS would be kept away from summer.5.The relationship of survival rate of first transitional transplant between the taken root in vitro and that in vivo is shown no difference.Judged by the reduction of production costs and the increase in benefit,the taken root in vivo is better than that in vitro.6.The product between the ultimate survival rate of second transitional cultivation of TCS and that of soil culture is remarkable higher than the survival rate of TCS which directly planted in soil after first transitional transplant.Thus,in the growing seedlings factory of loquat,the TCS from first transitional transplant would be planted in soil after second cultivation (two mounths).Finally,the possibility of TCS transition without damnification by open culture was discussed.

Abstract:
In vertical polyacrylamide slab gel electrophoresis analysis,the band patterns of esterase isozymes obtained from resistance differing sweet potato varieties to Pseudomonas solanaccarum are composed of many enzyme bands in proper ratio.The high,medium or susceptoble resistance varieties had their own band patters of esterase isozynes.Pattern 6 represents high resistance,pattern 4 medium and pattern 5,7,10 susceptible.The band patterns of esterase isozymes can be used as one of biochemical criteria in identification of the variety resistance,Being analyzed by ultraiolet ray screening,the ratio of OD readings in Pa area of peroxidase isozymes in diseased or health seedlings of sweet potato can also be used as one of biochemical criteria in identification of the variety resistance.

Abstract:
The popmlation dynamics of Raltus rattoides,a dominant rodent species in farmland in Fujian Province,Was investigated with the systematic catch rates/trap/ night.There were two peak and two valley periods of the catch rate in a year,i.e.April-May and August-September,and February-March and June-July,respectively; and there was significantly negative correlation between the catch rate and acreage proportion of crop appropriate for the damage of this rodent.It is suggested that the effective cavity rate is an available indication reflecting the population dymamics of farmland rodents.

Abstract:
Changes of ureide,allantoin,allantoic acid content in leaves and nodules of adzuki bean (Vigna angularis) and effect of some exogenous compounds on the ureide content in seedlings were inverstigated.Diurnal variation of ureide content occured in leaves and nodules.Allantoic acid content was higher than that of allantoin in the nodules.Diurnal variation in ureide,allantoin,allantoic acid content in leaves displayed a peak at 16:00 which occured one hour later than that in the nodules.However,diurnal fluctuation patterns of allantoin content was similar to that of allantoic acid content in both the leaves and the nodules.Several compounds included in the growth medium were tested for their ability to affect the synthesis of allantoin,allantoic acid in germinating seedlings.Mn2+ showed no appreciable effect on the allantoinase activity and allantoin,allantioc acid synthesis,but Cu2+inhibited the allantoinase activity.However,KT (l-10ppm) and BA(l-25ppm) did not have any effect on the allantoinase activity.ZT(l-25ppm)had slight effect on the ureide content.ABA (lppm) repressed the germination but did not affect the ureide content.
