    Sex control of fish is one of the important research interests in the field of genetic breeding of aquatic animals. Some biotechnologies, such as endocrine regulation of reproduction, artificially induced gynogenesis, cross breeding, and marker assisted selection breeding were wildly used to study sex control of farmed fishes, and a batch of monosex farmed fish varieties with excellent traits have been cultivated. The analysis of genome and functional genome of farmed fishes, the discovery of sex determination and differentiation related genes, and the establishment of cutting-edge biotechnologies such as efficient and specific gene editing have provided important theoretical guidance and technical support for the establishment of more precise sex control breeding technology and creation of new germplasm of farmed fishes. This paper reviewed the theoretical basis of fish sex control breeding and the research progress on fish sex control technology, which would provide theoretical and technical support for breeding high-yield, good-quality and environmentally friendly varieties of farmed fish.

    With the development and popularization of high-throughput sequencing technologies, fish genomes are increasingly sequenced and assembled. How to apply these genomic information and high-throughput sequencing technology in fish breeding is a concern in the aquaculture industry. Compared with crops, livestock and poultry, the development and application of breeding technology based on whole genome analysis in fish is lagging behind. At present, fish breeding mainly refers to various methods established in other species. Usually such a method is developed based on the characteristics of a specific species and is not completely suitable for fish. Although these methods provide references for the whole genome breeding of fish, they bring difficulties for users to understand and choose the various technologies and algorithms. This article reviewed the breeding-related technologies based on whole-genome analysis in different fields, and introduced the mechnism and application of different technologies such as genome-wide association studies (GWAS), genome-wide linkage analysis (GWLA) and genomic selection (GS), and recommended some commonly used software to provide guidance for fish breeding based ongenomic analysis technologies.

    More attention should be paid to the green development of agriculture under the constraints of agricultural environmental resource endowments. Assuming the agricultural pollution emission coefficient was a dynamically changing parameter, based on the dynamic measurement of the unexpected output of agricultural non-point source pollution, the SBM super-efficiency model and DEA-Malmquist productivity index were employed to measure the green total factor productivity (GTFP) of major agricultural crops. The results showed as follows:①the environmental technical efficiency of Japonica rice and soybean was greater than 1, while the environmental technical efficiencies of corn, wheat and cotton were less than 1; ② the green total factor productivities of cotton, Japonica rice and corn annual increased by 0.7%, 0.4%, and 0.3%, respectively, while the green total factor productivities of wheat and soybean annual decreased by 1.6% and 1.2%, respectively; ③ green total factor productivity was significantly different from traditional total factor productivity, and its green technology progress was even more significant; ④ improving the educational level of agricultural employees, increasing investment in agricultural science and technology, and strengthening environmental pollution control were endogenously driven to promote green total factor productivity growth. Calculating and analyzing green productivity of crop could reflect the comprehensive production capacity of each crops and the actual productivity status of the main crops.

    Brassinosteroids (BRs) are new plant hormones discovered in the late 20 century. They are involved in regulating many aspects of plant growth and development, and have important regulatory roles in plant root development. Brassinolide (BL) is the first highly active BR which structure has been determined. This review first introduced the discovery of BR, the study of the signal pathway of BR on regulating root growth, and further elaborated the research progress of BR pathway transcription factors interacting with auxin, cytokinin (CTK), ethylene (ETH) and other signaling molecules to regulate root stem cell niche, root apical meristem, root cell elongation, lateral roots, root hairs, and root gravitropic. And it also put forward questions and prospects for the in-depth study of BR's regulation in plant root development. The review provided a theoretical basis for the application of BR in regulating plant root development.

    With the development of genetically modified crops, transgenic plants containing stacked traits become more and more popular. Transgenic maize plants with stacked traits are usually insect resistance and herbicide tolerance. Here, BBHTL8-1 transgenic maize line containing Cry1AbCry3Bbcp4epspsZmHPT and ZmTMT expressing cassettes was obtained to confer transgenic maize plants with insect resistance, glyphosate tolerance and improved α-tocopherol content traits. In BBHTL8-1 transgenic line, all 5 genes were integrated in the maize genome and could be identified in different generations. Whole genome sequencing and flanking sequence analysis showed that the insertion fragment was located in the intergenic region of chromosome 4, with 31 bp deletion in the 3’ flank sequence. Cry1AbCry3Bb and cp4epsps showed relatively stable expression levels in different development stages of root, stem and leaf, and had lower expression levels in the seeds, whereas ZmHPT and ZmTMT had higher expression levels in the seeds. Evaluations of insect resistance and glyphosate tolerance revealed that BBHTL8-1 plants were highly resistant to Asian corn borer, and were highly tolerant to glyphosate. The α-tocopherol content in BBHTL8-1 seeds was significantly higher than in non-transgenic plants Zheng 58. There were no significant differences between BBHTL8-1 and Zheng 58 on agronomic traits under normal growth condition. Above results obtained a new transgenic maize line with stacked traits on insect resistance, herbicide tolerance and nutritional quality improvement, which might be developed for transgenic breeding.

    In order to identify the drought resistance of barley,taking 15 varieties mainly cultivated in southern Shanxi as materials, the traits of agricultural, economic, physiological and quality characters were analyzed by membership function method. The results showed that yield, tiller number, spike length, grain number per plant and grain number per spike were highly correlative with drought resistance of variety, while SPAD value and the contents of moisture, starch, crude fibre in grain were little correlative with drought resistance. According to the D value based on all 13 traits, 15 varieties were divided into four types, and three varieties including Humai4, Jindamai3 and Edamai9 showed higher drought resistance than other varieties. Comparing with direct identification of drought resistance by drought resistance coefficient and drought resistance index, indirectly identification of drought resistance by membership function method could more comprehensively reflect the drought resistance of barley varieties, which provided the theoretical reference for the breeding of new barley variety and screening of germplasm.

    GDSL-type esterase/lipase proteins (GELPs) belong to lipolytic enzyme, which contain conserved GDSL motif at their N-terminus. GELPs play crucial roles in growth and development, stress responses and pathogen defense. However, the identification and functional analysis of GELP genes are hardly explored in cotton. This study identified 210 GELP genes in the G. hirsutum L genome and they were divided into ten clusters (A~J) by phylogenetic analysis. The GhGELPs were universally and unevenly distributed on all 26 chromosomes, the majority of which were located on chromosome ends. Gene structure analysis revealed that more than 66.7% of GhGELP genes were interrupted by 4 introns and composed of 5 exons in their coding regions. Further, the presence of cis-elements potentially related to the hormonal signal and stresses responses were surveyed, and a total of seven types cis-elements in the promoters were predicted. Finally, RNA-seq data were used to investigate the expression profiles of GhGELP genes under different biotic and abiotic stress treatments. The expression analysis revealed that majority of GhGELPs were down-regulated in response to cold, hot, salt, PEG and Verticilliumdahliae infection. In addition, some members could be simultaneously induced by multiple abiotic stresses. This paper identified the family members of cotton GhGELP genes, which provided theoretical basis for future studies of cotton GELP genes.

    In order to select the best Vitisamurensis variety and photosynthetic-light response model, 6 Vitisamurensis varieties including ‘Beibinghong’ ‘Shuanghong’ ‘Zuoyouhong’ ‘Xuelanhong’ ‘Beiguohong’ and ‘Shuangfeng’ were as materials. And their light response curves were fitted by rectangular hyperbola model,non-rectangular hyperbola model, modified rectangular hyperbola model and exponential model, respectively. The maximum net photosynthetic rate (Pnmax), dark respiration rate (Rdark), apparent quantum yield (α), light compensation point (LCP) and light saturation point (LSP) were evaluated. Compared with measured values, the modified rectangular hyperbola model had the best fitting effect on the photosynthetic-light response of Vitisamurensis variety except for the LSP of ‘Beibinghong’, which the PnmaxαRdarkLCP and LSP calculated by model were closest to the measured values. Two principal components with characteristic root >1 were extracted by principal component analysis and their cumulative contribution was 82.71%. The comprehensive evaluation and cluster analysis showed that ‘Beibinghong’ was the best variety with the high utilization of light, which could be planted in strong light environment and take fully use of light energy, which provided technical reference for the promotion of Vitisamurensis in Xinjiang.

    To explore the effects of different shading treatments on secondary metabolism of flue-cured tobacco at different growth stages, the contents of nicotine, nicotinic precursor, intermediate substance and relative expression of nicotinic synthase gene were determined and analyzed by covering different layers of shading net in the field. The results were followed. After shading 15~55 d, the content of nicotine in the root was increased first, then decreased, then increased, and finally decreased, which showed a bimodal curve. Compared with the control, moderate or severe shading could significantly increase the content of polyamine after shading 25~65 d, with the maximum increased ranges of 40.05%, 36.14%, 36.27%, 23.47% and 162.40%, respectively. The contents of aspartic acid in the root with moderate or severe shading treatments were higher than that of control with the maximum increased ranges of 7.01%, 25.65%, 253.85%, 22.70% and 89.28%, respectively, after shading 15~55 d. Compared with ontrol, moderate or severe shading significantly increased the relative expressions of NtPMT gene by 283.80%, 85.97%, 67.17% and 54.59% respectively, and the relative expressions of NtADC gene were significantly increased with moderate or severe shading for 15~45 d, with the maximum increased ranges of 85.97%, 181.83%, 103.93% and 54.59%, respectively. Therefore, moderate and severe shading could increase the contents of free amino acid and polyamine in the root, and be beneficial to enhance the relative expressions of NtPMT and NtADC genes, reduce the synthesis of nicotine, which provided production guidance for the regulation of nicotine content of tobacco leaves in tobacco field.

    Climate change is an important factor affecting wheat yield, so scientific classification of climate year type is very important for accurate prediction of wheat yield. This paper divided the temperature data of 15 meteorological stations (cities or counties) in Henan Province from 1984 to 2018 to warm year, normal year, and cold year; according to the rainfall data, wet year, normal water year, and dry year were divided, and then 9 climatic year types were formed to analyze their laws. The relationship between the climatic year type and the output year type was analyzed combined with the wheat yield data to divide the high year, the average year, and the low year, based on topography, soil, weather and other factors, 5 wheat areas were diveded including northern Henan, central and eastern Henan, western Henan, southern Henan, and Nanyang basin. On this basis, the HP filter method was used to separate the meteorological output and the trend output. Under the driving of meteorological factor, the BP neural network was used to construct a model to predict the meteorological output, and the linear regression model was used to obtain the trend output, and then the two output were superimposed to obtain the actual output to realize the forecast of wheat output. The results showed that the accumulated temperature years in Henan Province were mainly warm year and normal year, and rainfall year was more evenly distributed. The climate year types were mainly normal year and dry year. The frequency of high wheat yield was the highest in warm and wet years with 76.9%. In cold and wet years, the frequency of low wheat yield was the highest with 67.9%; accumulated temperature in meteorological data was the main factor affecting wheat yield fluctuations. In warm years, wheat was easily high yields, and the probability of low yields in cold years was higher; compared the wheat output obtained by the superimposition of the output modeling using meteorological yields and trends with the actual output, the average relative error of each model of the 5 wheat regions in northern Henan, middle eastern Henan, western Henan, southern Henan and Nanyang basin was 0.31%, 0.36%, 0.58%, 0.48% and 0.38%, respectively, which indicated that it was feasible to predict wheat yield using HP filter and BP neural network technology.

    Integrated rice (Oryzasativa)-crayfish (Procambarusclarkii) farming system is considered as comprehensive farming system for rice and fisheries cultivation at the same time. In the recent years, it has developed rapidly in China, especially in the middle-lower reaches of the Yangtze River Basin. This paper reviewed the theoretical research progress and industrial development of rice-shrimp co-cropping mode in the past decade. In the view of theoretical research progress, the influence of integrated rice-crayfish farming system on paddy field ecology was clarified from the characteristics of paddy field soil, water quality, biodiversity and greenhouse gas emission. And in view of technical research progress, the development of green production technology of integrated rice-crayfish farming system was contributing in stabilizing the sown area and reducing the input of chemical fertilizers and pesticides. At the same time, enhanced quality and output of paddy rice and crayfish had been observed. But for long term and large scaled development of rice-crayfish industry still needed to carry out industrial organization optimization and upgrading. Alongside, there were a small number of risky questions arise in the development of integrated rice-crayfish farming system, such as invasion risk, germplasm degradation,“only emphasizing crayfish, but neglecting rice” and so on. Such tricky questions restricted the sustainable development of integrated rice-crayfish farming system. In order to promote the research and wide application of integrated rice-crayfish farming system and cope such limitations, 3 suggestions were put forwarded, establishing agricultural analysis system and information database about paddy field, classifying the promotion areas of rice-crayfish; strengthening the research of basic theory and integrated technology mode and at the same time promoting the integration of research, implementation and production; strengthening policy support and technical services to ensure the economic benefits of business entities.

    In order to study the effect of soil-ridge substrate-embedded cultivation (SSC) on growth and yield of cucumber and root zone temperature in summer, 4 treatments were set including the traditional soil cultivation ridge+silver reflective film (SR treatment), SSC (ridge with high 15 cm and width 20 cm )+silver reflective film (SSC treatment), SSC (ridge with high 10 cm and width 20 cm)+silver reflective film (SSCs treatment), and SSC (ridge with 10 cm high and 30 cm width)+silver reflective film (SSB treatment). The temperature of root zone, growth and yield of cucumber in different treatments were determined. The results showed that the average temperature of daytime was highest in SSB treatment and was lowest in SSCs treatment during June 4—8 and July 4—8, which indicated that SSCs treatment had the optimal buffering capacity on the temperature of root zone in summer. During June 4—8, the temperature difference in SSB treatment was highest, while the temperature difference in SR treatment was highest during July 4—8, and the temperature difference in SSCs treatment was lowest during June 4—8 and July 4—8. The plant height, stem diameter, SPAD value and leaf number of SSCs and SSB treatments were significantly higher than those of SR treatment, which SSCs treatment had the most significant effect on promoting growth of cucumber. Compared with SR treatment, SSC and SSCs treatment significantly increased cucumber weight per fruit and yield per unit area, which the yields of SSC and SSCs treatments were increased by 6.4% and 7.0%, respectively. To sum up, the soil-ridge substrate-embedded cultivation could effectively enhance the buffer capacity of temperature in the root zone, increase the yield of cucumber. The cultivated patterns of SSC (ridge with 10 cm height and 20 cm width)+silver reflective film (SSCs treatment) had a good application prospect in the vagetable production of Chinese solar greenhouse, which provided scientific theoretical support for the application and popularization of SSC.

    To evaluate the physiologic response of drought resistance under different nitrogen (N) applications of Lyciumruthenicum Murr. in arid land, this study used urea (46%) as the N source for 2 years (2018, 2019), and set 5 N applications including 0 (CK), 50 (N1), 100 (N2), 150 (N3) and 200 g·plant-1 (N4), and 3 different degree of drought stresses including 0 (30.8% and 29.3%, soil moiture), 15 (21.7% and 21.1%, soil moiture) and 30 d (11.2% and 9.7%, soil moiture). The activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD), peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) in leaf of Lyciumruthenicum Murr. were measured, and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), proline (Pro) and soluble sugar (SS) were determined. In addition, the drought resistance of Lyciumruthenicum Murr. was comprehensively evaluated by membership function method. The results show that appropriate N application could increase the activities (SOD, POD and CAT) and the contents of Pro and SS content in the leaf of Lyciumruthenicum Murr., and inhibite the synthesis of MDA. In general, the activities of SOD, POD, CAT and SS content were higher under N3 and N4 treatments, while the contents of Pro were higher and the MDA contents were lower under N2 and N3 treatments. According to the comprehensive evaluation of drought resistance, it showed that the appropriate amount of N application could enhance the drought resistance of Lyciumruthenicum Murr., but excessive N application should reduce drought resistance. The drought resistant ability were stronger under N2 and N3 treatments after stress 0 and 15 d, and was strongest under N2 treatment after stress 30 d. Therefore, the drought resistance of Lyciumruthenicum Murr. could be improved by applying appropriate amount N in the arid land of Northwest, which provided theoretical basis and technical support for the cultivation pattern of Lyciumruthenicum in arid area.

    In order to clarify the effect of potassium fertilizer on Artemisiaargyi in Qichun County, a two-year field experiment was conducted and 5 dosages of potassium fertilizer treatments (0, 60, 120, 180 and 240 kg·hm-2,named K0,K60,K120,K180,K240,respectively) were set. The agronomic trait, yield, the content of total volatile oil, 7 kinds of volatile components, total flavonoids, 9 kinds of flavonoids and phenolic acid components and mineral elements in the leaves of Artemisiaargyi were analyzed. The result showed that the application of K fertilizer was beneficial to promote the growth and yield of Artemisiaargyi. The yield of K180 treatment were increased by 18.4% and 24.3% in 2018 and 2019, respectively. And the application of K fertilizer could increase the output rate of Artemisiaargyi leaves and promote the growth and branching of non-glandular hair, which the output rate increased by 1.3%~23.1% (2018) and 11.1%~40.6% (2019), respectively. With the increase of K fertilizer, the contents of total volatile oil, eucalyptus oleoresin, camphor, borneol, total flavonoids, isochlorogenic acid A, cyanidin, and isozanthin in the leaves of Artemisiaargyi decreased. The contents of K, Ca, Fe and Zn in leaves of Artemisiaargyi significantly positively correlated with the K application rate, while the contents of active ingredients significantly negatively correlated with the contents of K, Ca, Mg, Fe and Zn. Taking into account the factors such as the yield, cashmere yield and the content of volatile oil, flavonoids and phenolic acids in the leaves of Artemisiaargyi, the suitable amount of K fertilizer was 120~180 kg·hm-2, which provided a scientific basis for K management in the artificial planting of Artemisiaargyi in Qichun County, China.

    In order to explore the mechanism of phosphate fertilizer type and application rate regulating the cold resistance and sugar content of alfalfa, taking‘Gongnong No. 1’ alfalfa was as the material, and a two-factor (phosphorous fertilizer type and fertilizer amount) randomized block experiment design was set, which two types of phosphorous fertilizer type (heavy superphosphate and diammonium phosphate) were used and the applying amounts were set according to 0, 100, 200, 300, 400 kg·hm-2 (calculated as P2O5) in autumn. The root neck vitality and contents of soluble sugar, sucrose, fructose, starch in root neck and the tap root 1 cm below the root neck under low temperature storage (4 ℃) and low temperature freezing (?20 ℃) were measured. The results showed that, compared with 4 ℃ treatment, the root neck vitality and content of soluble sugar were higher and the content of starch was lower under ?20 ℃ treatment. The root neck vitalities and contents of fructose in heavy superphosphate treatments under ?20 ℃ treatment were higher than those in diammonium phosphate treatments, but the starch contents were conversely. And the Optimum amounts of two types of phosphate fertilizers were 300 kg·hm-2 (P2O5) with higher contents of soluble sugar and fructose in the root neck of alfalfa. In conclusion, a moderate amount of phosphorus could promote the conversion from starch to soluble sugar in alfalfa root neck and improve the cold resistance of alfalfa. Application of superphosphate with 300 kg·hm-2 (P2O5) in Horqin sandy land was conducive to the safe overwintering of alfalfa.
