    To explore the effect of storage temperature on Jingcai 1 watermelon, the fruits of Jingcai 1 watermelon were storaged under 5, 15 and 25 ℃. The firmness, rate of weight loss, chilling injury, soluble solids, pectin, cellulose, soluble sugar, organic acid, lycopene, β?-carotene and vitamin C contents were determined under different temperature treatments. The results showed that, with the storage extending, the weight loss rate of Jingcai 1 watermelon fruit increased, the fruit firmness decreased, the content of water-soluble pectin (WSP) increased, the sodium carbonate-soluble pectin (SSP) decreased, the vitamin C, lycopene and β?-carotene showed decreasing trend, the variation of soluble solids fluctuated within a small rage, the cellulose decreased at first and then increased, while the content of soluble sugar and organic acid showed different changing trends at different storage temperatures. When stored at 5 ℃, the vitamin C and soluble sugar of fruit could be high level, but a long-term storage would raise the chilling injury rate and cause gradual wastage of nutrients, resulting undoubtedly in loss of the edible and commercial values. When stored at 15 ℃, the contents of water, organic acids and cytochromes could be better maintained, giving watermelons better quality and flavor. When stored at 25 ℃, the quick loss of soluble sugar, organic acid and pectin of the fruit leaded to soft rot, depriving original flavors of watermelons and making it difficult to maintain its quality.

    Ectropis obliqua is one of the most important pests on tea, which has brought serious economic losses to the tea industry. Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)?, as a key biological insecticide for the control of E. obliqua, plays an important role in the green prevention and control of diseases and pests in tea gardens. To clarify the effect of Bt treatment on intestinal bacteria of E. obliqua larvae, the Illumina platform using 16S rDNA high-throughput sequencing was applied to compare the structure and population diversity of intestinal commensal community in E. obliqua larvae treated with different dosage of Bt suspensions. The results showed that, compared with CK treatment, the intestinal bacterial composition of E. obliqua larvae treated with lower dosage of Bt did not change significantly, but those treated with higher dosage of Bt had significant effect on the composition of intestinal bacteria in E. obliqua larvae. And the treatments with higher dosage of Bt significantly increased the diversity and abundance of intestinal bacteria in E. obliqua larvae, which indicated that intestinal microorganisms were involved in the response of E. obliqua larvae to Bt infection. Above results provided basis for further exploring the insecticidal mechanism of Bt, and provided new ideas for improving the virulence of Bt.

    To promote the development of high-value products for rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss), the quality (physicochemical properties, color, and sensory properties) of rainbow trout floss with different sugars added were investigated. At the same time, the volatile components and fatty acids of the floss were analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometer (GC-MS). The results showed that the addition of sugar had an important impact on the quality of rainbow trout floss, which could promote the process of Maillard reaction and improve the sensory quality of fish floss such as taste and color. As pentose, the fish floss with arabinose had a faster process of Maillard reaction and more obvious color change, while the fish floss with fructooligosaccharides had a better sweet taste. In terms of fatty acid, the contents of saturated fat acid, eicosapntemacnioc acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) of the fish floss with oligofructose were the highest, and the content of polyunsaturated fatty acid of the fish floss with arabinose was the highest. In conclustion, due to Maillard reaction, the fish floss added with sugar produced aldehydes, ketones, alcohols and other substances with lower threshold, which could impact the flavor. Above results provided reference for improving the quality of rainbow trout floss and increasing product added value.

    To clarify the taxonomy of the pathogen causing a new bacterial leaf spot disease on fig (Ficus carica) in Fuzhou in 2020, diseased fig leaves were collected as test materials. The bacterial strains were isolated from the diseased leaves by streak plate method, and then the pathogenicity of the strains was determined by tobacco allergic reaction, spray inoculated fig leaves and Koch’s rule. The pathogen was identified based on morphological characteristics, physiological and biochemical determination, and phylogenetic tree analysis using partial sequences of 16S rDNA, gyrB and rpoD. The results showed that 10 bacterial strains were isolated and purified from the diseased leaves, healthy fig leaves demonstrated similar symptoms as the specimen collected from fields, and the identical morphological bacterial strains were re-isolated from diseased fig leaves. Thus, all of the bacterial strains were identified as the causal pathogens of bacterial leaf spot disease by Koch’s rule. The colony morphology was light yellow, round, and flat on the NA medium after 2 d of culture, and the gram staining reaction was negative. The bacterial strains could produce green water-soluble fluorescent on KB medium. The sequencing analysis based on 16S rDNA, gyrB and rpoD showed that the test strains were clustered with Pseudomonas cichorii; and the results of physiological and biochemical characteristics, Biolog phenotypes instrument, and specific primers were similar to the P. cichorii strain 5707, therefore the 10 isolated bacterial strains were identified as P. cichorii. It was the first report that P. cichorii could naturally cause the leaf spot disease in F. carica.

    Verticillium wilt (VW) is a disruptive symptom caused by Verticillium dahliae, which affects fiber yield and quality of cotton in China. AP2/ERF transcription factors play prominent role in plant growth, development and stress response. In order to excavate the genes related to resistance to VW in cotton and explore their biological functions, the candidate gene GhERF020 (XM_016842745.1) was obtained by homologous alignment of AT1G22810.1 related gene of Arabidopsis thaliana against V. dahliae. Bioinformatic analysis showed that the open reading frame length of GhERF020 was 441 bp, encoded 147 amino acids. GhERF020 contained a conserved AP2 domain, the relative molecular weight was 16.16 kD without transmembrane structure, belonging to the hydrophilic protein. It was predicted that the promoter region contained response elements of salicylic acid (SA), methyl jasmonate (MEJA), abscisic acid (ABA) and other response elements. The expression of GhERF020 was induced by V. dahliae infection. Subcellular localization analysis showed that GhERF020 protein was localized in the nucleus. As the expression of GhERF020 was downregulated by virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) technique, the susceptibility of cotton plants to V. dahliae was significantly enhanced, and the disease index and pathogen biomass were distinctly increased. Above results indicated that GhERF020 was a positive regulator in resistance against V. dahliae in cotton.

    In order to study the effects of natural low temperature on the physicochemical indexes of starch of different rice varieties and cooking and eating quality of rice at filling stage, 7 high-yield and high-quality rice varieties were selected and processed into milled rice and rice flour, respectively. The physicochemical indexes of starch, viscosity, hardness and eating value of rice were measured at room temperature and low temperature. The results showed that low temperature during grain filling stage of rice increased significantly amylose content, setback, peak time, gelatinization temperature and rice hardness, the maximum amylose content was 47.4%. While it decreased obviously gel consistency, peak viscosity, breakdown and rice viscosity, the viscosity of rice was all reduced to 30~50 mm, and ultimately led to poor cooking and eating quality. The low temperature tolerance of 7 rice varieties was evaluated by taste value and starch physical and chemical indexes, the results showed ‘Y liangyou 911’ had the highest low temperature tolerance of rice quality, and ‘Y liangyou 1928’ had the lowest of rice quality. The results of this study showed that appropriate cultivation measures should be taken to cope with the influence of low temperature on rice quality during the grain filling period, which provided a new idea for screening and cultivating low-temperature tolerant and high-quality rice.

Additionally, both conventional refrigerated and radio frequency (RF) tempering methods were employed. The results showed that with the mass fraction of salt in the brine solution increasing, the density of the fish firstly decreased and then increased, while specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity gradually decreased, and the dielectric constant and dielectric loss factor increased progressively. The tempering rates of both refrigerated and RF tempering decreased with the increasing of salt levels in the brine solution, with RF tempering significantly outpacing refrigerated tempering in terms of speed. Refrigerated brining exhibited superior uniformity compared to RF tempering, although the uniformity of RF tempering improved as the salt level in the brine solution increased. These findings laid foundation for exploring RF tempering processes of brined yellow-fin tuna, and was helpful for improving uniformity and enhancing tempering quality in further.

    To explore the physiological response of tobacco plant infected by Phytophthora to Trichoderma harzianum application sequence, the pot experiments were carried out with different treatments including inoculated with Phytophthora spore suspension (T1), inoculated with T. harzianum spore suspension (T2), inoculated with Phytophthora spore suspension first and then inoculated with T. harzianum spore suspension (T3), inoculated with T.harzianum spore suspension first and then inoculated with Phytophthora spore suspension (T4), inoculated with Phytophthora spore suspension and T. harzianum spore suspension at the same time (T5), and clear water (CK) as controls. 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.

    Honey is a natural product with complex composition and characteristics, which vary depending on the botanical source, origin, bee species and so on. In order to evaluate, differentiate and identify honey samples, a comparative analysis of honey from different sources using multidimensional indicators, including conventional physicochemical analysis and high performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time of flight/mass spectrometer (HPLC-Q-TOF/MS) technique were conducted. The results showed significant differences in amylase activity, fructose, glucose, phenolic acid and flavonoid contents among different honey samples. Among them, rape honey exhibited the lowest amylase activity with a value of (3.42±0.70) mL·g-1·h-1, while acacia honey (Qinshui) had the highest amylase activity with a value of (12.66±2.44) mL·g-1·h-1. The total phenolic acid and total flavonoid contents of Apis cerana honey were higher than other honey samples. Pro-His-Cys and hydroxytyrosol 1-O-glucoside might be useful in distinguishing honey from nectar plant species. Palustrine played an important role in differentiating acacia honey from different regions. Above results provided methodological guidance for the characterization and authenticity assessment of honey, that was, the multidimensional index method could be used as a valuable tool for comparative analysis of honey samples from different sources.

    Reductive soil disinfestation (RSD) and soil fumigation (SF) technologies can control soil-borne diseases more effectively and repair degraded soil quickly. In order to research the effects of 2 technologies on soil bacterial community of continuous cropping ginseng, 3 treatments were set up: reductive soil disinfestation plus soil fumigation (RSD+SF), reductive soil disinfestation plus compound bacteria (RSD+F) and soil fumigation plus compound bacteria (SF+F). IlluminaMiseq high-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze and determine the soil bacterial community and soil enzyme activities by 3 soil modification methods. The results showed that the highest diversity and richness of bacterial community was found in RSD+F group, and those of the lowest was found in SF+F group, and 3 groups had 431 identical bacterial genera. The highest bacterial richness was Gemmatimonas with abundance of 9.17% in RSD+SF group, norank_f_noranko_Gaiellales had the highest bacterial richness with abundance of 8.72% in RSD+F group, and Bacillus had the highest bacterial richness with abundance of 9.16% in RSD+F group. Bacillus was the common dominant bacterial community of the top 10 dominant flora in the soil by 3 improved methods. Correlation analysis showed that the soil enzyme activity significantly correlated with soil bacterial community structure. With the increase of growth time, the soil enzyme activities of continuous cropping ginseng with different soil modification methods were significantly different (P<0.05). In conclusion, 3 soil improvement methods could increase the richness of beneficial bacteria genus and improve soil enzyme activity to different degrees, and the number of beneficial bacteria genus and soil enzyme activity in RSD+SF group and RSD+F group were higher than those in SF+F group.

    In order to determine the best process parameters for hot-air drying of Lentinus edodes, a multi-objective optimization was studied with fresh Lentinus edodes as the test object. Taking relative humidity, wind speed and unit load as independent variables, and the color difference, water-soluble protein content and drying time of dried mushrooms as response values, a multi-objective comprehensive scoring optimization model for hot air drying of mushrooms was established, and the best process parameters for hot air drying of mushrooms was obtain by response surface method. The results showed that when color difference was 3.58, water-soluble protein content was 46.39 mg·g-1, drying time was 12.5 h, corresponding to the drying condition was 50 ℃, the best drying process parameters were relative humidity 27.1%, wind speed 5 m·s-1, and the unit load 4 kg·m-2; comparing the model prediction value of the optimization target with the experimental value, the average relative error was only 6.6%, and the maximum relative error was 7.4%. The results showed that the comprehensive scoring prediction model based on response surface method could not only be used in the hot-air drying process of Lentinus edodes, but also could provide theoretical guidance for improving the nutritional and sensory quality of dried Lentinus edodes.
