    In order to solve the problem of high-throughput phenotypic measurements caused by clustering and mutual shading of leaves of multi-branched crops such as soybean, a method of organ segmentation and phenotypic parameter measurement based on three-dimensional(3D)point clouds of the plant was proposed. Firstly, multi-view images of soybean plants were collected at the branching stage and used 3D reconstruction technology to obtain dense point clouds of plants, filtered point cloud noise and restored the actual scale. Further, the difference of normals algorithm, the improved regional growth algorithm and the point clouds curvature feature were used to segment the organs of the plant. Finally, the leaf area, leaf width, leaf length, leaf inclination angle and stem diameter were extracted by using the oriented bounding box, improved triangulation and the nearest neighbor algorithm. The results showed that the average segmentation rate of canopy leaf point clouds after organ segmentation was 84.24%, and the segmentation rate of single leaf point clouds was higher than 95.29%, and the measured values of phenotypic parameters had strong correlation with the manually measured values. The coefficients of determination of leaf area, leaf width, leaf length, leaf inclination and stem diameter measurements and manual measurements were 0.987 9, 0.961 3, 0.962 6, 0.931 1 and 0.963 4, respectively, with root mean square errors of 0.541 7 cm2, 0.141 2 cm, 0.175 5 cm, 3.279 6° and 0.047 5 cm. The proposed method had a good segmentation effect on plants with leaves adhering to each other and provided an effective solution for organ segmentation and phenotypic parameter measurement of multi-branched crops.

    GRAS gene family is a kind of transcription factor widely distributed in plants, which plays an important role in plant growth and development, biological and abiotic stress, light signal, hormone signal response and other processes. The physicochemical properties, chromosome localization, phylogeny and cis-acting elements of GRAS gene family in maize were analyzed. The results showed that a total of 49 ZmGRAS genes were identified in the whole genome of maize, which were unevenly distributed on chromosomes 1 to 10, and the physicochemical properties of the encoded proteins were very different, which might play a role in different microenvironments. Phylogenetic analysis classified GRAS proteins into 8 subfamilies, which might play important roles in regulating growth and development and stress response. The promoter regions of GRAS genes in maize contained variety of cis-acting elements such as hormone response, light response and stress response, which might be involved in important response such as hormone and stress. Collinear analysis showed that genes with collinear relationships might be the result of replication of chromosome segments, and belonged to the same subfamily with similar structure and function. The identification and analysis of GRAS gene family in maize provided the basis for further research on the function of GRAS genes and their response mechanisms to stress in maize.

    China has abundant soybean-nodulating rhizobia germplasm resources, but its application progress is slow, which inoculation area is only 1%~3% of the total soybean planting area in the country. The main reason for the situation is that rhizobia cannot produce spores and have poor stress resistance, resulting in short product shelf life and unstable application effects. In order to diversify, functionalize and differentiate rhizobia products and improve product activity and application effects, a directed micro-ecology (DME) system was used to optimize the culture and successfully achieved the directing cultivation as well as application evaluation of rhizobia and bacillus strains. The optimal culture medium for rhizobia (25.5 mL·L-1 molasses solution, 15.2 g·L-1 yeast extract, pH 6.98) was obtained through single-factor experiment of culture medium and response surface method. The medium formulation was applied in DME incubator at proper ventilation volume and incubation time, which made 1 strain of rhizobia (100 L·min-1, 20 h) and 3 strains of bacillus (150 L·min-1, 14 h) to achieve more than 50-folds amplification of microbial quantities to reach (20~50)×108 CFU·mL-1, and the rate of miscellaneous microorganism contamination was controlled below 5%. Pot experiments showed that the treatments of DME incubating strains were significantly better than the similar treatments of conventional cultured strains in the laboratory, which indicated that the DME incubator could better realize the application performances of functional microorganisms. The combination of rhizobia and bacillus could assist the rhizobia to better deliver its symbiotic function, which was specifically reflected in the increased number of nodules and chlorophyll content in the seedling stage, and the final yield was increased by nearly 20%, compared with single rhizobia strain. The DME system proposed in this study through the control of directed nutrition and growth strategies, allowed the target functional microorganisms to reach application-level yield and purity in a microecological environment containing a variety of microorganisms, achieving the same application performance as pure culture microbial product. It had important significance and application value to promote the industrialization of rhizobia, accelerating the promotion and application of functional strains.

    In order to quantify the effect of biochar application on soil pH and provide theoretical basis for biochar application in soil improvement and fertility cultivation, based on the electronic databases CNKI, Wanfang and Web of Science, 413 biochar on soil pH case studies based on the keywords “Biochar”, “Biochar”, “soil pH” and “soil pH” were collected from 59 published literatures. Meta-analysis was implied to quantify the effect degree of soil conditions, biochar characteristics and biochar application amount on soil pH. The results showed that, compared with no biochar application, biochar application could significantly increase soil pH by 8.70%. In the strongly acidic soil (4.5<pH≤5.5) and extremely acidic soil (pH≤4.5), the increase rate were the highest, which were 15.17% and 9.68%, respectively. Different biochar could significantly increase soil pH, and showed the trend as straw biochar (10.04%) > shell residue biochar (7.02%) > wood biochar (6.61%). The biochar prepared at ≤400 ℃ had the best promotion effect of 15.26% under different pyrolysis temperatures, while, the increasing effect decreased with the increase of pyrolysis temperature, such as the pyrolysis temperature was between 400~700 ℃. The increasing effect was higher in 3 months, then the increase gradually slowed down.These results indicated that in strongly acidic soil (4.5<pH≤5.5), straw pyrolysis biochar at low temperature (≤400 ℃) was preferred to be applied, which could better improve soil pH and provide scientific basis for the promotion and application of biochar in the future.

    Sugars are always transported to the other organs via sugar transporters to play their important functions in plants. SWEET (sugars will eventually be exported transporters) is a kind of sugar transporters which plays important function in plant growth and development as well as in resistance or tolerance to diverse biotic and abiotic stresses. To analyze the expressions of SWEET genes during pod and seed developments and under different stress conditions in soybean, the SWEET genes were firstly analyzed based on the newly published cultivated and wild soybean genomes in the present study. Subsequently, the gene expressions were evaluated during pod and seed developments, as well as in resistance to soybean mosaic virus (SMV) and tolerance to low phosphorus. The results showed that 48 SWEET genes were identified in the cultivated soybean genome (Wm82a4v1), which encoded protein with length 174~354 amino acids and located on 15 chromosomes. Meanwhile, 51 SWEET genes were identified in the wild soybean genome (W05), which encoded length of 84~392 amino acids and located on 16 chromosomes. The phylogenetic tree of SWEET genes in cultivated and wild soybeans showed that they were clustered into 3 sub-groups. Moreover, 16 SWEET genes were expressed in soybean pods with the expressions of Glyma.06G122200Glyma.14G159900 and Glyma.14G160100 etc. increased during the pod development process. 12 SWEET genes were expressed in soybean seeds, and the expressions of Glyma.08G025100Glyma.13G041300 and Glyma.14G120300 were increased during the seed development, suggesting their important roles for soybean seed development. The SWEET genes showed different expressions after the inoculation of SMV, and the expressions of Glyma.08G009900 and Glyma.13G264400 were induced in leaves of resistant variety, while had no change in the sensitive variety, implying that they might involve in SMV resistance. The expressions of Glyma.04G198400Glyma.14G160100 and Glyma.15G211800 were induced in soybean roots after low phosphorus treatment, indicating their important functions in the tolerance to low phosphorus stress. In addition, the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)analysis of SWEET genes showed that 43 genes contained 220 nonsynonymous SNPs with 103 located in the conserved domains of encoding proteins. Thus, above results provided candidate genes for molecular breeding of soybean pod and seed yield and diverse stress resistances.

    Application of manure can increase soybean yield and soil fertility. There are significant differences in soybean yield and soil fertility in China due to the influence of region, application rate of manure, type of manure etc. However, the reasons for these differences are still not clear. In order to find out the effect of manure fertilizer application on soybean yield and soil fertility in different regions and management measures in China, and the main factors of yield increase effect, this study collected data on a national scale for integrated analysis. According to the searching criteria, 37 literatures including 119 groups of data on the effect of manure application on soybean yield and 11 literatures including 148 groups of data on the effects of manure application on soil nutrients were obtained. The enhanced boosted regression tree (BRT) model was used to quantify the importance of climate factors, soil properties and manure application measures on soybean yield increase. The average soybean yield increased by 12.9% after application of manure in different regions, with the highest yield in south China (18.7%) and followed by North China (14.8%), Northwest China (13.6%) and Northeast China (12.0%). When the application rate of manure was more than 5 000 kg·hm-2, the increase of soybean yield was 18.5%. Soybean yield increased by 24.9% after the application of cow manure, followed by the application of pig manure (17.6%), commercial manure (15.3%), chicken manure (12.7%) and manure (8.8%). The average soybean yield was 2 224 kg·hm-2 with no fertilizer, whereas it increased by 20.4% to the amount 2 518 kg·hm-2 with applying manure alone. The average soybean yield was 2 259 kg·hm-2 under the application of chemical fertilizer, whereas it increased by 9.1% to the amount 2 558 kg·hm-2 under the combined application of manure and chemical fertilizer. Manure application significantly increased soil available P (43.5%), total P (13.3%) and organic matter (11.0%), but had no significant effect on soil available K (9.4%), alkali hydrolyzable nitrogen (3.4%), pH (2.1%) and total K (1.2%). Based on the BRT results, the BRT model explained 52.83% of soybean yield differences in China. Among them, the application rate of manure had the greatest impact on soybean yield, accounting for 47.0% of the variation, followed by soil properties (41.0%) and climate factors (12.0%). In general, the application of manure (including the single application of manure and combined application of manure and chemical fertilizer) could significantly increase soybean yield, with the largest increase in South China and with the highest increasing production benefit under the application of cow manure. Soybean yield was mostly affected by the application rate of manure. Additionally, the available P, total P and organic matter contents in soybean soil significantly increased under the application of manure.

    Cadmium is classified as a hazardous substance of global significance by the United Nations Environment Programme, and soil cadmium pollution seriously threatens plant growth and endangers human health. Exogenous sulfur affects the uptake and accumulation of cadmium by plants, but the effect of different forms and content of sulfur on the uptake and accumulation of cadmium by different plants varies greatly. Therefore, the effects of different forms and content of sulfur on the uptake and accumulation of cadmium by crops (Oryza sativa, Triticum aestivum, Brassica chinensis, Amaranshus mangostanus, Nicotiana tabacum) and Cd-hyperaccumulation plants (Sedum plumbizincicola, Solanum nigrum) were reviewed. Subsequently, the possible mechanisms of action were summarized in terms of the effectiveness of soil Cd (sulfur affects soil pH and cadmium adsorption), the uptake of Cd by plant roots (sulfur affects the transcription levels of metal transporters, and the formation of root hair and iron plaque) and the distribution and accumulation of Cd in plants (sulfur affects root cell wall adsorption and vacuolar compartment). Finally, strategies for sulfur application to reduce crops and increase hyperaccumulation plants Cd uptake and accumulation were explored. The result provided a theoretical basis for improving crop safety and remediating soil cadmium contamination.

    It is of great practical significance to study the molecular basis of plant response to low temperature stress and breed new varieties of cold-tolerant for ensuring food security. However, the study is relatively scarce about cold resistance of foxtail millet (Setaria italica). To further explore the molecular mechanism of millet responsing to low temperature stress at seedling, 33 RNA-Seq data of foxtail millet at different development stages and different cold stress times were used. Gene expression matrix was constructed using 32 017 highly expressed genes. WGCNA package of R software was used to construct a co-expression network, which was further divided into 44 modules. The genes related to cold stress of foxtail millet were existed in several modules. Here, 3 modules with most cold stress genes were selected for GO enrichment analysis to annotate the function of target genes, and it was found that most candidate genes were related to abiotic stress responses. Above results provided new ideas for stress resistance of foxtail millet, and the key genes of cold stress provided effective resources for breeding the new variety of cold tolerance in foxtail millet.

    Grape downy mildew is one of the major diseases on grapes, which can occur from seedling to fruit maturity, often causing destructive losses in rainy years. To accurately predict the occurrence of grape downy mildew and minimize the hazards of grape downy mildew, based on the agrometeorological data and disease occurrence data during grape growth in 2020, a prediction model for the occurrence of grape downy mildew was developed by 4 machine learning algorithms (binary logistic regression, support vector machine, decision tree and K-nearest neighbors), and the models were verified using the data in 2021. The results showed that the decision tree model had the best evaluation indicators in the disease prediction model, which the accuracy was 94%, and the precision, recall and F1-score was 91%, 90% and 91%, respectively. The decision tree model’s performance was still better than the other models using validation data. Therefore, the decision tree model could be further used to develop early warning systems for grape downy mildew, which should provide technical support and decision-making guidance for controlling it in production.

    Qi ZHEN, Guangze YAN, Na TA, Zhiyong ZHAO, Huimin YU
    Journal of Agricultural Science and Technology    2023, 25 (11): 154-165.   DOI: 10.13304/j.nykjdb.2023.0349
    Abstract133)   HTML9)    PDF (3970KB)(37)       Save

    Within the context of storing potatoes in traditional semi-underground storage room, the greenhouse effect is caused by the increase of CO2 content. In order to clarify the distribution law of the temperature in the storage room due to the change of CO2 content caused by potato respiration, taking the typical semi-underground potato storage room in western China as the research carrier, with the help of computational fluid dynamics method, the porous media model, k-ε turbulence model, and internal heat source model were used to construct a three dimensional numerical solution model of the heat and mass exchange with gas flow between the potato pile and the environment in the storage room. To ensure the accuracy of numerical simulation results, the numerical method and grid independence were verified. The results showed that through a comparative experiment monitoring the temperature at specific locations of potato stacks, it was found that the average relative error between experimental values and simulated values was 8.26%, with a maximum relative error of 9.77%, further confirming the reliability of the numerical heat transfer model for the storage room and the equivalent thermal model for potato stacks. Based on the environmental factor data inside and outside the storage room on a certain day in January 2022, when the CO2 content was 0.15%, the indoor temperature distribution decreased layer by layer along the potato pile, and the CO2 vent made a high temperature zone appear behind the pile. When the CO2 content increased from 0.00% to 0.30%, the average indoor temperature increased from 1.34 to 1.36 ℃, and the average temperature of the potato pile increased from 1.93 to 1.94 ℃. Comparing the indoor temperature distribution under the carbon dioxide content of 0.00%, 0.15% and 0.30% components, the overall temperature in the storage room was effectively increased with the increase of the CO2 content in the storage room. The results of this paper had important reference value for the establishment of mathematical models of semi-underground storage rooms and the selection of suitable carbon dioxide concentration control devices.

    In order to study the function of HaNAC38, a drought-related NAC transcription factor obtained from Haloxylon ammodendron drought transcriptomes, the homozygous lines of Arabidopsis thaliana overexpressing HaNAC38 gene were used as the materials, and the differences of growth and physiological indices were compared between plant of overexpressing HaNAC38 gene and wild type. The binding activity of HaNAC38 transcription factor and DNA core sequence was verified by yeast single hybridization technique. The results showed, under natural drought and simulated salt stress, the growth of Arabidopsis thaliana overexpressing HaNAC38 gene was significantly better than that of the wild type. The seed germination rate and the proline content and catalase activity in leaf of plant overexpressing HaNAC38 gene were significantly higher than those of wild type, while the contents of malondialdehyde and hydrogen peroxide were significantly lower than those of wild type. It showed that HaNAC38 significantly enhanced the tolerance of Arabidopsis thaliana to drought and salt stress. The yeast single hybridization indicated that the DNA core sequence of HaNAC38 transcription factor could bind TTGCGT core sequence specifically in yeast and activate the expression of downstream reporter gene. The above results laid a foundation for clarifying the function and regulatory network of haloxylon ammodendrite HaNAC38 transcription factor.

    To explore the current risk status of China’s pelagic fishery industry in the context of current global climate change and assess the risk level of the industry, the data related to China’s pelagic fishery industry and ocean climate change data from 2009 to 2021 were analyzed. The risk assessment index system was constructed based on the pressure-state-response(PSR) model framework, and the risk index model was applied to determine the level of pressure, state and response risk of China’s pelagic fisheries. The risk assessment results showed that the total risk index of the pelagic fishery from 2009 to 2021 showed a fluctuating upward trend due to the influence of ocean climate changes and ocean extreme disasters. The changing trend of the pressure risk index was generally similar to the change of the total risk index, indicating that climate change factors occupied a great proportion in affecting the risk of the pelagic fishery industry. The overall increasing trend of the state risk index indicated that the sensitivity of China’s pelagic fisheries to cope with climate change pressure had become greater. The overall trend of fluctuating increase in the response risk index indicated that the adaptive capacity and recovery ability of China’s pelagic fisheries themselves were gradually strengthening. Based on this, countermeasures were proposed from both external climatic factors and internal socio-economic factors, which could help enhance the risk prevention capability of China’s pelagic fisheries and provide a reference for achieving high-quality development of China’s pelagic fisheries.

    Most of the active proteins and industrial enzymes commonly used in industry, agriculture and medicine are obtained through heterologous expression systems. Pichia pastoris is one of the excellent hosts for expressing heterologous proteins. This expression system has the advantages including good genetic stability, high protein expression and secretory level, post-translational modification system, and low cost etc. However, excessive aggregation of heterologous proteins usually leads to incorrect fold and ineffective secretion of the target proteins, thus decling protein expression level. This paper reviewed the progress in the study on exogenous protein expression in Pichia pastoris by engineering the secretion and folding pathways such as signal peptide optimization, chaperone optimization and fusion protein expression.

    To explore the response difference of different types of wheat to salt stress, the leaves of ‘Bainong 889’ and ‘Chinese spring’ seedlings were subjected in 200 mmol·L-1 NaCl solution. The physiological and biochemical characteristics of wheat seedling under salt stress were analyzed, and the differences of gene expression and the occurrence of variable shearing events were investigated based on transcriptomics data. The results showed that, under salt stress, the leaves of ‘Bainong 889’ had less chlorosis than ‘Chinese spring’; the leaves of ‘Chinese spring’ stained by Evans blue were greater and the relative activity of cells was significantly reduced. In addition, ‘Chinese spring’ wheat seedlings significantly wilted under salt stress, while ‘Bainong 889’ was no significant difference compared with control in the morphology. The relative electrolyte leakage rates of both cultivars under salt stress were higher than the control, and that of ‘Chinese spring’ seedlings was the highest. Under salt stress, the concents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll in leaves of both ‘Bainong 889’ and ‘Chinese spring’ seedlings decreased, and the net photosynthetic rate (Pn) and stomatal conductance (Gs) of ‘Chinese spring’ seedlings were significantly inhibited, while those of ‘Bainong 889’ were similar to the control. Transcriptome sequencing results showed that 2 299 differentially expressed genes were up-regulated and 2 527 differentially expressed genes were down-regulated in ‘Bainong 889’ than ‘Chinese spring’. GO (gene ontology) enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes suggested that functions related to chloroplast, photosynthesis and plasma membrane were significantly enriched. KEGG (Kyoto encyclopedia of genes and genomes) enrichment analysis showed that pathways related to plant hormone signal transduction and plant secondary metabolites were significantly enriched. The analysis of variable shear events in transcriptome data showed that there were more variable shear events in ‘Chinese spring’ under salt stress, which were mainly concentrated in RNA transport and protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum. Therefore, wheat could responded to salt stress by regulating the expression of genes related to chlorophyll, plasma membrane, secondary metabolites and photosynthesis. The occurrence of variable shear events also indicated that two types of varieties regulated the gene interaction network distinctively under salt stress.

    Minirhizotron technique can directly monitor the dynamic growth and development of plant roots and be used to obtain clear root images. However, because of the complex soil environment, uneven particle size and large number of fine roots, it easily causes discontinuity of the divided roots and mistakes the soil background as the root. To solve the above problems, the CP-DeepLabv3+ algorithm was proposed to segment image. The coordinate attention mechanism (CA) was introduced to effectively segment the target location information and made the edge of the target more continuous. Strip pooling (SP) branch was added to ASPP feature extraction module to avoid unnecessary connections between distant locations and improve the accuracy of image segmentation. CP-DeepLabv3+ algorithm was applied to test maize root dataset. The results showed that the mean intersection-over-union (MIoU) value was 82.95%, the mean pixel accuracy (MPA) value was 92.47%, which was 3.69% and 4.44% higher than the original DeepLabv3+ model, respectively. This algorithm could effectively segment maize root and has practical significance for feature extraction.

    In order to explore the response ability of upland cotton to drought under different water stress and screen the key drought-resistant indexes and the excellent drought-resistant germplasm resources,30 upland cotton core germplasms were selected as experimental materials, and compared with normal irrigation treatment during the whole growth period, 2 water stress treatments, one water after sowing and one water at the flowering bollboll stage respectively, and 2 water stress treatments at the flowering bollboll stage were set up. The corresponding indexes were measured at bud stage, boll stage and boll opening stage by descriptive statistical analysis, difference analysis, principal component analysis and correlation analysis, the drought resistance of materials was evaluated by using drought resistance comprehensive evaluation value (D). The results showed that drought stress had different effects on the growth and development of different cotton materials,the D value of the treatment of watering one water after sowing and one water at flowering and boll stage was more discrete (0.285~0.774) , which could more clearly distinguish between different varieties of drought resistance. Using D value, 30 materials could be divided into 4 types: Type Ⅰ included 6 cotton varieties such as ‘Zhongmiansuo 41’‘ Xinluzao 7’ etc. and showed high drought resistance; Type Ⅱ included 11 cotton varieties such as ‘Jinmian 46’‘Xinluzao 31’etc. and showed middle drought resistance; Type Ⅲ included 5 cotton varieties such as‘Zhongmiansuo 17’‘Lu 1138’etc. and showed drought sensitive; Type Ⅳ included 8 cotton varieties such as‘ Xinluzhong 8’‘Jiumian 8’ etc. and showed high sensitive to drought. The first node number of fruit branch, number of fruit branch, plant height, grain yield and lint percentage were sensitive to drought, which could be used as the key indexes for drought resistance evaluation of cotton. Above results could provide basis for cotton drought-resistant.

    The easy fixation of phosphorus fertilizer in soil is a main reason for the low utilization rate of phosphorus fertilizer. In order to study the effects of fertilization frequency on availability of phosphorus fertilizer, three cinnamon soils with different Olsen-P levels (19.4, 24.2, 49.7 mg·kg-1) were collected in the long-term fertilization test based on Shouyang County, Jinzhong City Shanxi Province, and the same amount of phosphorus fertilizer (potassium dihydrogen phosphate) was added to the soil with different Olsen-P levels by once and 3 times, respectively. The soil with Olsen-P was incubated under constant temperature condition for 90 d, soil Olsen-P content was measured by 11 sampling intervals, and the phosphorus forms in soil were measured at the end of incubation. The effects of fertilization frequency on soil Olsen-P content, phosphorus fixation rate and phosphorus forms were analyzed, and characteristics on availability of phosphorus fertilizer under different fertilization times were clarified. The results showed that after 90 d of fertilization, the soil Olsen-P contents under 3 times of application increased significantly compared with that of once of application, and the increase rates at 3 Olsen-P levels were 21.0%, 13.5% and 9.4%, respectively. However, the phosphorus fixation rate decreased significantly, which were 8.0%, 6.8% and 10.5% at 3 Olsen-P levels, respectively. The Michaelis-Menten equation betterly fitted the process of soil phosphorus fixation. The maximum phosphorus fixation rate of once application was greater than that of 3 times application, but the time to reach 50% of the maximum phosphorus fixation rate was shorter than that of 3 times application. The phosphorus fixation rate decreased with the increase of Olsen-P levers under once application. Phosphorus fixation rate in high Olsen-P (49.7 mg·kg-1) soil was significantly reduced by 10.8%~12.4% compared with low Olsen-P (19.4~24.2 mg·kg-1) soil under 3 times application.When compared with once application, the content of labile P in soil increased by 6.8%~12.1%, and the content of non labile P decreased by 8.4% under 3 times application. This study showed that the 3 times application of phosphorus fertilizer could significantly improve the availability of soil phosphorus and reduce the fixation rate of phosphorus fertilizer; the higher soil Olsen-P content was, the smaller the proportion of phosphorus fertilizer was invalidated in soil; the 3 times application of phosphorus fertilizer could increase soil Olsen-P content, decrease phosphorus fixation rate and increase the content of labile P. These results had important directive significance to improve the utilization rate of phosphorus fertilizer, and provided theoretical basis for efficient and scientific application of phosphorus fertilizer.

    The stable yield and income of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were greatly limited by salt stress. Elucidating the metabolic mechanism of wheat under salt stress will help to further optimize breeding and cultivation, thereby increasing wheat yields in saline-alkali soils. In this study, ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer(UPLC-MS/MS) was used to analyze metabolic profiling of wheat roots and leaves treated with salt stress, and to analyze their response mechanism. A total of 759 metabolites differentially accumulated in roots and leaves were identified under normal growth and 24 h salt treatment conditions. In response to salt stress, 207 and 147 metabolites were changed in roots and leaves, respectively, among which 56 were the same differentially accumulated metabolites. Amino acids and their derivatives, flavonoids, organic acids and their derivatives, nucleotides and their derivatives accounted for about 50% of the total differentially accumulated metabolites of wheat roots and leaves in response to salt stress. In addition, lipids accounted for about 20% of the differentially accumulated metabolites of wheat leaves. These differentially accumulated metabolites were mainly involved in metabolic pathways, photosynthesis, carbon fixation and glucose metabolism etc in leaves, and secondary metabolism and amino acid synthesis etc in roots. They were interrelated and constitute a regulatory network of salt stress response, which may improve the adaptability to salt stress in wheat by alleviating osmotic and oxidative stress caused by salt stress.

    In order to study the difference of meat quality and the expression characteristics of meat quality-related genes in Tibetan sheep at different altitudes, the meat quality and nutritional components of longissimus dorsi, triceps brachii and biceps femoris of Tibetan sheep at altitude 2 500, 3 500 and 4 500 m were determined, and the expression levels of meat-related genes (H-FABPLPLMC4R and CAST) were determined and their correlations were analyzed. The results showed that the Tibetan sheep meat of low altitude had lower shearing force, lower water loss rate, higher tenderness and better taste, especially longissimus dorsi was better than the other 2 parts. The Tibetan sheep meat of high altitude had higher cooked meat rate and higher meat yield. The contents of mineral and crude protein in high altitude Tibetan sheep meat were higher, while the low altitude Tibetan sheep meat was more succulent. Compared with the two leg muscles, the longissimus dorsi had better taste. The expression levels of genes related to meat quality were differences among different altitudes. Among them, H-FABP had the highest expression levels in different muscles at mid-altitude, and LPLMC4R and CAST had the highest expression levels in biceps femoris of Tibetan sheep at low altitude, and was higher in the longissimus dorsi of Tibetan sheep at middle and high altitude. The correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of H-FABPLPLMC4R and CAST genes were significantly correlated with cooked meat rate, shear stress, water loss rate, ash, crude fat, crude protein and dry matter in Tibetan sheep. It showed that the meat quality and nutritional components of Tibetan sheep at different altitudes were different, and the expression levels of meat-related genes in different parts were also different, which affected the meat quality of Tibetan sheep. Above results provided basis for meat selection and genetic improvement of Tibetan sheep at different altitudes.
