The effects of T. harzianum application sequence on biological characteristics， physiological characteristics and induced resistance of tobacco infected by Phytophthora were analyzed. The results showed that， in the growth of tobacco plants， the agronomic characters of tobacco plants with T4 treatment increased the most， and the dry and fresh weight of underground parts increased by 103.73% and 8.30% compared with CK. In the physiological characteristics of tobacco plants， T. harzianum could reduce the inhibition of Phytophthora on photosynthetic pigment accumulation and root activity of tobacco plants， and significantly increase both of them， and it could also strengthen the activities of enzymes related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism in tobacco plants. After transplanting 21 d， the activities of nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase with T4 treatment increased by 13.14% and 6.40%， respectively. In the control effect， T4 treatment had the lowest incidence and disease index， which were 39.39% and 13.89%， and the highest antioxidant enzyme activity. In conclusion， there were significant differences in the physiological response of tobacco plants to the inoculation sequence of T. harzianum. In production， T. harzianum should be inoculated in advance to promote the growth and development of tobacco and inhibit the incidence of black shank disease. Above results laid a theoretical foundation for the regulation of tobacco growth and development and the comprehensive prevention and control of black shank.

Effect of Different Straw Return Amount on Soil Aggregate and Organic Carbon Content Bingdi ZHAO, Jiuming ZHANG, Yingxue ZHU, Enjun KUANG, Jiahui YUAN, Fengqin CHI, Lei SUN, Ning LI Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology    2025, 27 (1): 193-200.   DOI: 10.13304/j.nykjdb.2023.0342 Abstract （496）   HTML （3）    PDF （2372KB）（96）       Knowledge map    Save To explore the effects of different amounts and duration of straw return on the composition， stability， and carbon storage characteristics of soil aggregates，utilizing 4 treatments from a long-term field experiment， full straw return （1XG）， 1/2 straw return （1/2XG）， 1/3 straw return （1/3XG） and root stubble return （CK），the stability and the organic carbon content of aggregates were dynamically monitoring for 3 consecutive years. The results showed that compared to CK， straw returning increased the content of >0.25 mm soil aggregates. The best effect was observed with full straw return. With the years of straw returning increased， the content of <0.053 mm soil aggregates showed an increasing trend. Straw returning could significantly increase the mean weight diameter of soil aggregates， playing a role in enhancing the stability of the aggregates. The straw returning enhanced the organic carbon content of soil aggregates， and the full straw return showed best effect. The organic carbon content of >0.25 mm soil aggregates was highest in all treatments， indicating that after straw returning， organic carbon was preferably sequestered in large aggregates. The organic carbon contribution rate of >0.25 mm aggregates was the highest， between 60.90%~82.09%， while that of <0.053 mm aggregates was the lowest， between 2.39%~6.28%. In conclusion， straw return to the field promoted the formation of soil aggregates and increased the organic carbon content of soil aggregates. Among them， the full straw return had the best carbon sequestration effect. Above results provided data support for determining the appropriate amount of straw return， and provided a theoretical basis for improving and enhancing soil fertility in black soil areas.

Regulation of Lysine Uptake and Metabolism in Plants and Its Effects on Plants Kexin WANG, Yuehua DONG, Xuanyi HE, Huaiyu YANG Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology    2025, 27 (7): 20-29.   DOI: 10.13304/j.nykjdb.2024.0155 Abstract （495）   HTML （7）    PDF （1107KB）（77）       Knowledge map    Save Lysine， a fundamental amino acid crucial for human and animal nutrition， also serves pivotal roles in amino acid homeostasis， growth， development， stress resilience and nutritional quality of plants. The biosynthesis， metabolic processes， absorption and translocation of lysine in plants directly or indirectly affect lysine content and its functions. While the metabolic pathways of lysine in plants have been relatively well characterized， the physiological and molecular mechanisms underlying its beneficial effects on plants remain largely unclear. In this paper， the recent advancements in understanding the roles and potential regulatory mechanisms of key genes involved in lysine uptake and metabolic pathways in plants were summarized， and the roles and possible regulatory mechanisms of key lysine absorption and metabolism genes in plant stress resistance， disease resistance， seed germination and improvement of crop quality were particularly elabrcted. Additionally， it reviewed the progress in breeding lysine-rich crops. Above results offered valuable insights and guidelines for elucidating the mechanisms regulating lysine transport and metabolism in cereal crops， thereby enhancing stress tolerance and fostering the development of novel lysine-enriched crop varieties.

Reaearch on the Application of AI for Science in Agricultural Field Song FANG, Lihua JIANG, Jingjun CAO, Xiao WANG, Minghui QIU, Xiaoyi TIAN Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology    2024, 26 (10): 1-10.   DOI: 10.13304/j.nykjdb.2024.0473 Abstract （480）   HTML （15）    PDF （1713KB）（128）       Knowledge map    Save In recent years， artificial intelligence （AI）， driven by the three engines of algorithm， data and computing power， has developed rapidly， and achieved many remarkable achievements in frontier fields， such as AlphaFold3， nuclear fusion intelligent control， and novel coronavirus drug design. AI-driven scientific research （AI for Science， AI4S） has solved the bottleneck of scientific data analysis with high dimensions， large scale and span， and limited scientific experiments that restrict large-scale interdisciplinary scientific research activities， and promotes scientific research towards a new model with “platform collaboration” as the main feature. This paper reviewed the international situation of AI4S， the current development status of China’s smart agriculture and the practical dilemma， and combined literature， statistical data， and investigation case analysis to put forward the practical path to promote AI4S application in China’s agricultural development. AI4S would become a powerful engine to transform agricultural production from the traditional model of “looking at the sky， looking at the land and looking at the crops” to models such as intelligent perception， intelligent decision-making and visual management， and promote scientific research from the single-fighting “small farmer’s workshop” model to the platform scientific research of “Android model”. Researchers could share basic computing power， models， algorithms， databases and knowledge bases. On this platform， the research and development and application of the whole life cycle of the agricultural industry chain would be focused on， and scientific research innovation and application of results be accelerated through the “snowball effect”. Using artificial intelligence technology to realize digitalization， networking and intelligence of agricultural production， and support online iteration of theory-experiment. It is also necessary to improve the high-quality agricultural science digital resource system， appropriately advance AI key technologies and infrastructure， optimize the cross-innovation research ecology under the new paradigm， formulate agricultural data management norms， strengthen policy creation and supporting policy mechanisms to break through data barriers and to promote artificial intelligence + agriculture， and to strengthen agricultural science and technology innovation from the source.
