    Endoplasmic reticulum is the main site of protein folding and post-translational modification in eukaryotic cells. It also participates in the regulation of Ca2+ and lipid storage and synthesis, and has important physiological functions. Herpesviruses is a class of enveloped DNA viruses. The synthesis and processing of its surface glycosylated envelope proteins depends on the endoplasmic reticulum. During virus replication, a large number of synthesized glycosylated envelope proteins are excessive in the endoplasmic reticulum. Accumulation causes endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS), which in turn leads to unfolded protein response (UPR). Some herpesviruses may have evolved mechanisms to regulate the UPR to create an optimal egoistic environment for the replication process. When they replicate in host cells, they will cause related endoplasmic reticulum UPR signaling cascades, such as cell damage, inflammation, apoptosis, etc. In this paper, the mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum stress/unfolded protein response (ERS/UPR) response to viruses was reviewed, and the molecular mechanism and related signaling pathways of ERS caused by herpes simplex virus type Ⅰ, pseudorabies virus, marek virus, duck enteritis virus and other herpes viruses were expounded, which provided theoretical basis for the research and development of herpes virus-related vaccines and drug targets.

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.

    Large-scale festered Saccharina japonica damage broke out in Rongcheng, one of the principal Saccharina japonica production region in China from November 2021 to April 2022. This natural disaster covered an area of 9 300 hm2 and caused a direct economic loss of 20×108 yuan (RMB). Results of field survey, indoor culture experiments and historical data analyses unveiled the sequential process of this unprecedented event. Driven by surface water current, red tide of Gonyaulax polygramma and Akashiwo sanguinea travelled from the west to the east along and bypassed Shandong peninsula, entering Saccharina japonica farming region. Dissolved phosphorus in seawater was detected to be at 3.68 μg·L-1, reaching limited level for Saccharina japonica growth. Seedlings of Saccharina japonica grew normally in seawater sampled from the problematic area. Survey buoy mounted at the problematic region recorded a significant low salinity of 30.92 PSU and a much higher surface water transparency during the breaking time. In general, over high seasonal water transparency and exhausted nutrients resulted from the red tides were considered to be the direct causes. Festered blade tissue facilitated propagation of alginate-degrading bacteria, causing secondary damage in the entire farming region.

    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.

    Under the background of carbon peak and carbon neutralization,setting and implementing reasonable industry-specific goals has practical significance for the green and high-quality development of China’s fishery and the “dual carbon” strategy. Fishery mainly contains the aquaculture and fishing industry and has double attributes of carbon source and carbon sink. Based on the existing carbon emission and carbon sink accounting methods, this paper explored the “double carbon” goals of China’s aquaculture and fishing industry and the paths to achieve it. The analysis results showed that: ①from 2011 to 2020, due to the double influences of the expansion of fishery and the policy of “reducing ships and changing production”, the carbon emissions increased firstly and then decreased, but it remained to be seen whether the carbon emissions reached a peak; carbon emissions from aquatic feed was the largest carbon source; ② due to the affection of the rapid development of aquaculture, the carbon sinks experienced a rise in volatility, and aquaculture became the primary source of carbon sinks; ③aquaculture and fishing industry were both dual in carbon cycle, and they were more carbon source in China with over 3×107 t of carbon not being neutralized. This paper set reasonable goals of carbon peak and neutralization for aquaculture and fishing industry, based on the big demand of aquatic products and the high-quality green development of aquaculture and fishing industry in China. In order to achieve the carbon goals, this paper proposed technical paths of reducing emissions in key links and expanding fishery sinks, social management methods for exploring fishery carbon trading mechanism and strengthening policy guidance. This paper provided useful reference for supporting China’s aquaculture and fishing industry to achieve carbon peak and carbon neutralization goals, and promote the transformation and upgrade of China’s aquaculture and fishing industry.

    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.

Chongchaling and Xinteruijun significantly increased the chlorophyll a content of C. tangshen Oliv. by 4.9% and 2.6%, respectively. Meanwhile, Chongchaling and Xinteruijun significantly increased the total chlorophyll content by 5.3% and 3.0%, respectively. Furthermore, compared with the CK, the activities of catalase, peroxidase and superoxide dismutase under the Chongchaling were decreased respectively. Moreover, the contents of malondialdehyde and O 2 - · were decreased, while the contents of soluble sugar and soluble protein were increased. The soluble protein content under Xinteruijun was increased. Compared with the CK. Chongchaling significantly decreased the total protein content (15.6%~16.5%), Xinteruijun significantly increased the lobetyolin content (10.1%~15.3%). The responses of soil enzyme activities to the application of two microbial fertilizers were similar. Compared with the CK, Chongchaling and Xinteruijun significantly improved the activities of urease, alkaline phosphatase and accharase, while decreased the activity of catalase. In conclusion, microbial fertilizers could promote the growth and control the Helicobasidium mompa Tanaka of continuous cropping C. tangshen Oliv. mainly by regulating photosynthetic metabolism, antioxidation, and soil enzyme activity.

Low-temperature stress results in a severe decrease in the crop yield and quality, as well as the effective utilization of plant nutrients including nitrogen. Relevant studies have focused mostly on the analysis of physiological and molecular regulatory networks of plant growth when temperature was lower than 15 ℃.Exogenous application of certain substances e.g. nitrogen fertilizer or hormone could improve plant cold tolerance, so this article reviewed the influence of the suboptimal temperature on growth phenotype of some major crops, physiological and metabolic change, and nitrogen use, summarized and discussed the biological mechanisms of plant response to the sub-optimum temperature in association with the regulation of nitrogen acquisition and utilization, which was expected to provide reference for future understanding of higher nitrogen use efficiency and its related molecular physiological mechanism under the sub-optimal low temperature.
