    Transformation of agricultural science and technology achievements is an important force to promote the agriculture modernization. Although the transformation rate of agricultural science and technology achievements in China is improving, there still is a big gap between the developed countries and us. Among many reasons for these phenomenon,  the most important one is the lower technology level and weak innovation spirit. It is urgently needed to strengthen the evaluation work of agricultural science and technology achievements. Taking purpose, scientific, feasibility and independence as principle, an evaluation index system was constructed including 3 categories of application & development, soft science and basic research, based on 3 aspects of technology, benefit and risk. This paper analyzed in detail the major evaluation contents of each index, and put forward method to determine the function of this evaluation index system.

    NEK6 gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase that regulates the expression of cell cyclin related genes and ethylene signal transduction, which related to plant stress resistance. In this study, AtNEK6 over-expressed plasmid was constructed and introduced into tobacco by Agrobacterium tumefaciens-mediated transformation. Three transgenic tobacco lines of T2 generation were recruited and treated with the mannitol and NaCl treatments, which simulating drought and salt conditions. Under normal condition, root length of transgenic plants was longer than that of wild type. Moreover, the lateral root number and leaf fresh weight were also much more than those in wild type. Under the stress conditions, transgenic plants showed enhanced tolerance to drought and salt stresses. The chlorophyll fluorescence parameter (Fv/Fm), SOD and CAT activities, and proline contents in leaves were increased significantly more in transgenic plants compared to those in wild type, whereas the MDA contents of transgenic lines were decreased after stress treatments, which in agreement with that obtained from stress treatments. Therefore, the transgenic tobacco was more tolerant to drought and salt stresses by over-expression of AtNEK6 gene.

    In order to screen mutants of Abelmoschus manihot with good traits, and find the best dose of radiation, an energy of 1.25Mev with 4 kinds of dose were injected into Abelmoschus manihot seeds and pollen: 4.6×1010 H+/cm2(100C,1C= 4.6 ×108 protons/cm2), 9.2×1010 H+/cm2(200C), 2.3×1011 H+/cm2(500C), 4.6×1011 H+/cm2(1 000C). The results showed that there were no significant effects on germination rate of proton beam radiation on golden sunflower. But there were different degrees of dwarfing effect on plant height, among which, the diferences between the treatments of 200C and 1 000C with the contrast group were distiguished. Through statistic analysis on average number of blossoming flower, we found radiation could reduce the number of blossoming flower. The differences between 1 000C dose group with the contrast were significant. Radiation could reduce the pollen pollination rate, but had no significant effect on fruit setting rate. The result of RAPD analysis indicated that the genetic distances of radiation seeds in 100C,200C,1 000C treatment groups increased along with the increase of radiation dose. But there appeared different changes in 500C group. The variation trend of radiation pollen was that the genetic distance decreased along with the increase of radiation dose. Proton beam radiation could cause veriation, which provided a new direction for selective breeding of superior golden sunflower varieties.

    Shandong and Fujian are two important provinces which produce 81% of the total biomass of Saccharina japonica in China each year. However, the amounts of parental plants used for breeding, the way to raise the parental plants, the method and the substratum used to collect zoospores, the nursery time for young seedlings differ very much although both adopt the so-called "summer seedling method". One of the most significant differences is that all the breeding companies in Fujian employ the white vinylon strain as substratum, while in Shandong all the companies prefer the brown palm fiber strain. In order to assess the different effects on the seedlings with two kinds of ropes, a 45 d culture experiment was carried out in the lab. Results showed the seedlings density on the brown palm fiber dropped dramatically and the size of the sporophytes is only 50% than that on the white vinylon strain. Based on these observations it was suggested that the palm strain should be completely replaced by the white vinylon strain in breeding practice in the northern part of China.
