    To study the O174L gene of African swine fever virus (ASFV), the O174L gene was connected to the vector pRK5M-C-2×Strep through homologous recombination, and the eukaryotic expression vector of ASFV was constructed. After PCR amplification and sequencing identification, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into porcine intestinal epithelial cells (IPEC-J2). The expression of O174L protein was detected by immunofluorescence and Western blot. The PCR and sequencing results showed that recombinant plasmid pRK5M-C-2×Strep-O174L was successfully constructed. The results of immunofluorescence and Western blot showed that O174L protein could be stably expressed in IPEC-J2 cells. Bioinformatics analysis of O174L protein showed that the arrangement of the branches and isolates of the phylogenetic tree based on the O174L gene sequence was highly similar to that based on the B646L (p72) gene sequence. Among the 16 isolates from China, the similarity of the O174L gene sequence between the isolates was as high as 96.76%~100.00%. Compared with other type Ⅱ isolates in China, China/2018/AnhuiXCGQ had differences in the 67th, 75th and 110th amino acids of O174L, and GZ201801 had difference in the 110th amino acids. The O174L amino acid sequence of type Ⅰ isolates SD/DY-I/2021 and HeN/ZZ-P1/2021 were different from other Chinese type Ⅱ isolates at 13th, 73th, 93th, 95th, 113th and 114th amino acids, respectively. O174L protein was a stable hydrophilic protein without signal peptide and transmembrane region. The secondary structure of O174L protein was composed of α helix, β strand and random coil, and the prediction result of tertiary structure was consistent with the secondary structure. Above results provided the basis and experimental materials for studying the protein interaction and genetic evolution between ASFV and host.

    Carposina sasakii Matsumura is a notable fruit pest that damages many types of fruit trees. Behavior regulation technology has gradually gained attraction as a potential pest control method that is both environmentally conscious and effective. The insect behavioral mechanism of chemosensory perception is the basis of behavior regulation. A total of 242 olfactory genes were identified in the antenna transcriptome of the C. sasakii. Based on sequence alignment and functional background of similar genes in related species, 13 olfactory genes were selected and their potential recognition functions were analyzed using RT-qPCR. The results showed that 6 genes differentially expressioned between males and females at different developmental stages ( P<0.05), which corresponded to the behavioral phenotypes of adults. According to the difference expression levels between male and female adults during newly emerged, mature unmated and mature mated, OBP11 might play a role in detecting pheromones and mating behavior, OR45 might correspond to host-seeking and oviposition activities and IR5 was associated with mating and oviposition behavior. Above results laid theoretical molecular foundation for the identification of C. sasakii pheromone and olfactory-related genes and supported the implementation of behavioral regulators against the olfactory perception mechanism of C. sasakii as a more environmentally sustainable pest control strategy.

    Mushroom substrate is the residue of mushroom production, which is rich in inorganic salts and organic matter. The water extract from spent mushroom substrate(WESMS) of Lentinula edodes was prepared by hot water extraction,the ultraviolet (UV) absorption, surface charge and particle size distribution were characterized using an UV spectrophotometer, Zeta potential and particle size analyzer. The inhibition rate of WESMS against Phytophthora infestans was calculated by plate penetration and cross diameter measurement. Further, both optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to observe the damage caused by WESMS to the morphology of the pathogen cells. Subsequently, the impact of WESMS on the DNA of Phytophthora infestans was analyzed by agarose gel electrophoresis. The results showed that WESMS could absorb UV rays at A (UVA, 315~400 nm), B (UVB, 280~315 nm) and C (UVC, 100~280 nm) bands. Moreover, the particle size distribution in water was 3 649.27 nm. The antibacterial experiment showed that WESMS had an inhibitory effect on the growth of pathogens. The inhibitory effect became more obvious with the increase of the volume percentage concentration of WESMS. The inhibition rate of WESMS against pathogens was nearly 100% at a high volume concentration of 6.25%. The mycelia of pathogenic cells treated with WESMS exhibited obvious distortion, flatness and wrinkles compared with the control group, which indicated that WESMS could cause severe damage to cells. In addition, the DNA band brightness of the treatment group was darker than that of the control group, and the degree of DNA damage was positively related to the volume percentage concentration of WESMS. Above results provided scientific basis and technical support for the utilization of spent mushroom substrate and its use in the effective control of potato late blight.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    To study the evolution of wheat traits and genetic diversity in southern Huang-Huai winter wheat region, the wheat varieties in the recent 20 years in southern Huang-Huai winter wheat region were as materials. The evolution of wheat traits and genetic diversity were explored from a new perspective by using Shannon-Wiener diversity index ( H ' ) and coefficient of variation analysis, fitting trend line after dimensionless traits, principal component analysis, comprehensive score (D′ value) evaluation, regression model construction and other methods. The indexes used for the evaluation of wheat varieties in southern Huang-Huai winter wheat region and the germplasm with excellent performance were screened. The results showed that a total of 443 wheat varieties were bred in southern Huang-Huai winter wheat region from 2003 to 2022, and it could be divided into 3 stages based on the number of bred varieties: basic stable stage (from 2003 to 2017), temporary high stage after obvious uplift (from 2018 to 2019), and blowout eruption stage (from 2020 to present ). In recent 20 years, plant height of wheat in southern Huang-Huai winter wheat region decreased slowly with time-going; water absorption remained unchanged; spike number, grain number per spike, 1 000-grain weight, yield, basic seedlings, test weight, protein content, wet gluten content and stability time showed upward trend, among which 1 000-grain weight, yield, basic seedlings, test weight and wet gluten content had relatively strong upward trend. The increase of yield was mainly due to the increase of 1 000-grain weight. The proportion of high-quality special wheat (strong gluten wheat, medium strong gluten wheat, weak gluten wheat) increased in recent years, mainly due to the increase in the proportion of medium strong gluten wheat. The proportion of strong gluten wheat has not increased significantly, which was mainly limited by water absorption and stability time. The dispersion degree and evolution trend of agronomic traits and quality traits were quite different, but their genetic diversity was constantly improving with the year,and genetic stability should be further strengthened. The results of regression model construction showed that 5 traits could be used as the evaluation indexes of the comprehensive performance of wheat in southern Huanghuai winter wheat region, including spike number, yield, test weight, protein content and water absorption. Among 443 varieties, ‘Jimai 336’‘Anke 1801’‘Jimai 44’‘Gushenmai 19’ and ‘Huawei 305’, which had higher D , performed well and could be used as excellent germplasm resources in the breeding of strong gluten wheat. In the future, the breeders should strengthen breeding new varieties with high-quality special wheat, especially weak gluten wheat, and enhance the protection and utilization of germplasm resources.

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 rice response regulators (RR) family play important roles in plant growth and development, so it is important to explore the evolution and biological characteristics of the RR genes in rice. There were 22 RR genes in rice, including 15 A-type and 7 B-type genes. Analysis results showed that the rice RR proteins differed in their physicochemical properties, among which the B-type RRs were all hydrophilic proteins (GRAVY<0); homologous sequence analysis revealed that there were 5 paralogous gene pairs in the rice RR genes, namely, OsRR8 and OsRR15OsRR5 and OsRR11OsRR9 and OsRR10OsRR1 and OsRR2, and OsRR20 and OsRR18, which were predicted to have similar functions with known functional genes; the conserved Motif 1 and Motif 3 both belonged to the REC superfamily, which acted as response regulators to receive signals from the two-component phosphotransferase system, and they distributed among 22 OsRR proteins. The analysis of regulatory elements and expression pattern revealed that RR genes had potential ability in the regulating hormone signals transduction such as abscisic acid, salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, gibberellin, and growth hormone, and participated in plant defense against stress such as low temperature, drought, and light and anaerobic signals response, and also involved in the the regulation of different developmental processes of rice etc. functions. The bioinformatics analysis of rice RR gene family provided a theoretical basis for the in-depth study of their functions, and layed the foundation for further revealing the growth, development, and signal transduction mechanisms of plant.

    In order to improve the lodging resistance of quinoa in agricultural production and select the best concentration of plant growth retarder to reduce the lodging rate of quinoa, the randomized block experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of paclobutrazole (PP333), enisobutrazole (S3307) and binomide (MEP) on the growth and yield of quinoa at the concentrations of 50, 100, 200 and 350 mg·L-1, with spraying water as the control. The results showed that the 3 plant growth retarders could effectively reduce the plant height of quinoa, improve the breaking resistance, and reduce the lodging index and lodging rate in a certain concentration range. Among 3 plant growth retarders, the treatment of S3307 was optimum with concentration 100 mg·L-1, whose plant height decreased by 6.8% and 4.2% and the flexural resistance increased 17.4% and 25.2%, respectively, compared to PP333 and MEP with same concentration. When the concentration of PP333 was 100 mg·L-1, the anti-lodging ability was better than other concentrations, and the lodging rate significantly reduced by 79.9% compared with CK. The MEP concentration in the range from 100 to 200 mg·L-1 was more effective than other concentrations. The above results provided theoretical reference for chemical control measures of high-quality planting of quinoa.

    To investigate the pollution characteristics and risk of heavy metals in soil of Jinggang honey pomelo orchards, 18 representative soil samples were collected from Jinggang pomelo orchards in 4 main production areas of Ji’an City, Jiangxi Province. Soil physicochemical properties and heavy metals (Cd, Pb, As, Hg and Cr) content were determined. The pollution levels of soil heavy metals were evaluated by single factor pollution index, geoaccumulation index and Nemero comprehensive pollution index. The potential ecological risks of soil heavy metals were discussed in potential ecological risk index (RI). The results showed that soil acidification was serious, the fertility was in the middle and lower levels, and the available nitrogen was lack in the study area. The average contents of Cd, Pb, As, Hg and Cr were 0.23, 63.81, 13.95, 0.10 and 167.28 mg·kg-1 in 0 to 20 cm soil, which were 2.30, 1.99, 1.35, 1.25 and 3.49 times of the background values, respectively. The average contents of Cd, Pb, As, Hg and Cr were 0.26, 62.40, 13.51, 0.10 and 167.87 mg·kg-1 in 20 to 40 cm soil, which were 2.60, 1.94, 1.31, 1.25 and 3.50 times of the background values, respectively. There was no significant difference in heavy metal content at different depths. Single factor and geoaccumulation index analysis showed that the accumulation of Cr, Pb and Cd in the soil of the study area was serious, and 11.11% of Cd was seriously polluted. With the standard value as the reference, the soil heavy metal pollution in the study area was mainly mild pollution, belonging to low ecological hazard degree. With the background value as the reference, the soil heavy metal pollution in the study area was mainly moderate and serious, belonging to medorate and strong hazard degrees. The correlation analysis showed that Cr had good homology with Pb and As. Redundancy analysis showed that soil pH and organic matter were the main environmental factors affecting the change of heavy metals in soil of pomelo orchards in Jinggang. Overall, the heavy metal pollution of soil in the study area was light, but there were some orchards exceeding the standard and the accumulation of Cd, Cr and Pb in soil. Fruit farmers and relevant departments should pay more attention and take effective measures to prevent their ecological risks.
