    Technology readiness levels (TRL) are international widely used to quantify the degree of quantitative evaluation on major scientific technological research and engineering projects. TRL can accurately evaluate the development of technology, improve the scientific decision-making, reduce the risk of new technology application, and play an important role in the industrialization of major industrial developed countries in Europe and the North America. China began to pay attention to the research and application on TRL in the beginning of 21th century and made remarkable achievements. However, the study was rarely used in agriculture and life sciences. In order to introduce this advanced technology evaluation method and management tool into the process of agricultural science and technology innovation as soon as possible, this paper summarized the application status of technology readiness levels in domestic and foreign industry, discussed the necessity for bringing TRL into agricultural science and technology innovation system, and put forward the policy suggestions on the application of TRL on agricultural science and technology innovation process.

    The essence of genetic improvement is to constantly select and breed the existing varieties(lines) so as to ensure them making stable genetic improvement. Since 2014, European countries have carried out a honeybee improvement program called “SMARTBEES”, which aim is to improve honeybee performance and protect honeybee resources. China has rich honeybee resources, but the diversity of honeybee genetic resources is declining year by year, due to the influence of modern agriculture, industry and human activities. The genetic improvement programs are implemented successfully in pigs, cows etc. in China. But, there is no such program in honeybee. It is urgent to protect Chinese local honeybee varieties and featured genetic resources. It is needed to implement a SMARTBEES program like European countries, so as to improve honeybee performance and health condition, to protect precious honeybee resources in China. This paper introduced the European honeybee genetic improvement program “SMARTBEES”, and summarized the honeybee resource and breeding status in China. It also expounded the enlightenment given by European program “SMARTBEES” to the honeybee resources and genetic breeding work in China.

    Cotton is an important economic crop typically with preference for potassium. Its yield and quality are closely related to potassium content. In this study, open read frame of GhHAK1 was cloned from the upland cotton. The dendrograms of GhHAK1 showed that it belonged to theⅠsubtribe, which was considered to be an important component of high-affinity system for K+. The trans-membrane region prediction reveals that the protein coded by this gene with 12 trans-membrane domains (TMS), and it had a long cytoplasmic ring between the second and third TMS. The sub-cellular localization experiment of onion epidermis showed that GhHAK1 was located on plasma membrane. And under the condition of low potassium (0.05 mmol/L) condition, the wild-type Arabidopsis showed obvious symptoms of K deficiency, the leaves turned yellow and bolting was obviously inhibited. But the transgenic plants growth was not affected. Besides, the content of K+ in transgenic Arabidopsis leaves was double that of the wild type and the content of K+ in root was about 1.5 times. The results showed that GhHAK1 might possess efficient potassium absorption function and would provide important genetic resources for further breeding new cotton varieties adapted to potassium deficiency soil and saline environment.

    In order to improve the quality of tobacco leaf and probe the optimum application amounts of biochar, this paper systematically expounded the effects of biochar on the growth of flue-cured tobacco and quality of tobacco leaf. This paper took Yunyan 87 as experimental material and studied the effects of 3 application amounts of biochar (3 000 kg/hm2, 3 750 kg/hm2, 4 500 kg/hm2) on the growth of flue-cured tobacco and quality of tobacco leaf by field test. The partial least squares path modeling was constructed by R programming language. The results showed that biochar application could significantly decrease the disease morbidity and disease-infected indexes of black shank of flue-cured tobacco. The lower level application of biochar could promote the growth of flue-cured tobacco in the earlier growing stage, development of root system, and coordinate the chemical compositions in tobacco leaf. The overdose of biochar had negative effect on the quality of tobacco leaf. The partial least squares path model made clear the relationship between flue-cured tobacco growth and indexes of tobacco leaf quality after applying biochar, and systematically clarified the action mechanism of promoting flue-cured tobacco growth and quality of tobacco leaf by application of biochar. In summary, the optimum application amounts of biochar was 3 750 kg/hm2

    Carbon fluxes variation rule of field ecosystem and source sink relationship is a hot topic for study in the international carbon cycle. In order to expound the characteristics of carbon fluxes variations and its influencing factors in tobacco field ecosystem during tobacco harvesting stage, this paper measured the carbon emission fluxes from flue-cured tobacco field in harvest period under 2 different fertilizer treatments (NPK and NPKOM)by closed chamber-infrared method. The results showed that carbon fluxes in tobacco field ecosystem changed from assimilation to emission and mainly showed in carbon assimilation during the observation period. Carbon fluxes in NPKOM treatment were significantly higher than that in NPK treatment, especially in the middle of harvest period. The maximum net carbon assimilation was appeared after harvest. And the value in NPK and NPKOM treatments were 79.2 mg/m2·h and 81.8 mg/m2·h, separately. Judging from the entire harvest period, all environmental temperature variables (air temperature, surface temperature, 5 cm and 10 cm soil temperature) were significantly correlated with each other, while the soil humidity was extreme significant negatively correlated with surface soil temperature and air temperature. Carbon fluxes were significantly or extreme significantly correlated with soil surface temperature, 5 cm and 10 cm soil temperatures, air temperature and soil humidity. And 5 cm and 10 cm soil temperature were the dominant factors among all environmental factors affecting carbon flux in tobacco ecosystem during the mature stage by principal component analysis. We also found that the carbon fluxes in tobacco field ecosystem present a “W” type fluctuation in harvest period. Meanwhile, the carbon fluxes were significantly correlated with the number of effective tobacco leaves by parabolic relationship.
