Analysis of the independent-and interactive-photo-thermal effects on soybean flowering

Soybean(Glycine max(L.) Merr.) is a typical short-day and warm season plant, and the interval between emergence and flowering has long been known to be regulated by environmental factors, primarily photoperiod and temperature. While the effects of photoperiod and temperature on soybean flowering have been extensively studied, a dissection of the component photo-thermal effects has not been documented for Chinese germplasm. Our objective of the current study was to evaluate the independent- and interactive-photo-thermal responses of 71 cultivars from 6 ecotypes spanning the soybean production regions in China. These cultivars were subjected in pot experiments to different temperature regimes by planting in spring(low temperature(LT)) and summer(high temperature(HT)), and integrating with short day(SD, 12 h), natural day(ND, variable day-length), and long day(LD, 16 h) treatments over two years. The duration of the vegetative phase from emergence to first bloom(R1) was recorded, and the photo-thermal response was calculated. The outcome of this characterization led to the following conclusions:(1) There were significant differences in photo-thermal response among the different ecotypes. High-latitude ecotypes were less sensitive to the independent- and interactive-photo-thermal effects than low-latitude ecotypes; and(2) there was an interaction between photoperiod and temperature, with the effect of photoperiod on thermal sensitivity being greater under the LD than the SD condition, and with the effect of temperature on photoperiodic sensitivity being greater under the LT than the HT condition. The strengths and limitations of this study are discussed in terms of implications for current knowledge and future research directions. The study provides better understanding of photo-thermal effects on flowering in soybean genotypes from different ecotypes throughout China and of the implications for their adaptation more broadly.     

Summer drought decreases Leymus chinensis productivity through constraining the bud,tiller and shoot production

Extreme drought events can directly decrease productivity in perennial grasslands. However, for rhizomatous perennial grasses it remains unknown how drought events influence the belowground bud bank which determines future productivity. Ninety‐day‐long drought events imposed on Leymus chinensis, a rhizomatous perennial grass, caused a 41% decrease in the aboveground biomass and a 28% decrease in belowground biomass. Aboveground biomass decreased due to decrease in both the parent and the daughter shoot biomass. The decreases in daughter shoot biomass were due to reductions in both the shoot number and each individual shoot weight. Most importantly, drought decreased the bud bank density by 56%. In addition, drought induced a bud allocation change that decreased by 41% the proportion of buds that developed into shoots and a 41% increase in the buds that developed into rhizomes. Above results were supported by our field experiment with watering treatments. Thus, a 90‐day‐long summer drought event decreases not only current productivity but also future productivity, because the drought reduces the absolute bud number. However, plasticity in plant development does partly compensate for this reduction in bud number by increasing bud development into rhizomes, which increases the relative allocation of buds into future shoots, at the cost of a decrease in current shoots.     

肠道可培养共生菌对橘小实蝇不育雄虫生物学特征的影响

橘小实蝇是一种对果、蔬产业造成严重经济损失的害虫，应用昆虫不育技术（SIT）防治橘小实蝇是一种切实可行的科学手段，但辐照会使不育雄虫受到一定程度的损伤。本研究通过在饲料中添加抗生素对肠道灭菌处理来探究肠道可培养共生菌对橘小实蝇生物学及形态学参数的影响。结果表明，抗生素处理组在不育雄虫的蛹重、逆境存活率以及竞争交配力等均显著低于对照组。另外，抗生素处理组和对照组不育雄虫的存活率曲线图表明处理组不育雄虫的寿命时长显著低于对照组，利用Weibull分布拟合模型判断得知两组橘小实蝇存活率曲线均符合基本模型中的Ⅰ型。本研究为进一步利用肠道可培养共生菌来改善橘小实蝇不育雄虫的生理健康提供理论基础。     

中隔墩长度对斜式轴伸泵装置出水流道水力特性的影响

为研究大型低扬程泵站斜式出水流道水力特性,采用数值模拟方法对某斜20°轴伸泵装置三维湍流流场进行了数值计算,发现斜式出水流道内存在严重的偏流问题,基于4种计算方案的数值模拟结果分析了偏流的成因,在研究了中隔墩长度对斜式出水流道流态和水头损失影响的基础上提出了解决偏流的措施,并得到模型试验的验证。研究结果表明:顺水流方向看,中隔墩长度为14 m时的斜式出水流道内的主流明显偏于左侧,在流道右侧下部存在较大范围的旋涡区;导叶体出口具有较大周向速度分量的水流呈螺旋状进入"S"形弯曲的斜式出水流道,两者相互作用导致斜式出水流道产生偏流;随着中隔墩长度的增加,斜式出水流道左右孔的偏流系数逐渐减小、流道水头损失呈先减小再增大趋势,当中隔墩加长至23.35m时出水流道左右两侧的出流流量达到基本相等;采用长中隔墩斜式出水流道的泵装置模型试验最优工况点效率达到80.56%,泵装置模型试验结果与数值模拟结果一致,取得了预期的纠偏效果,得到有关工程设计院的认可,并应用于工程实际。     

常温真空包装对保持小米储藏品质的影响

为了探究一种有效的小米储藏方法,以晋谷42号小米为试材,采用0.08 mm厚尼龙(polyamide,PA)复合聚乙烯(polyethylene,PE)袋包装,常温((20±2)℃)环境中储藏,研究小米在常规、常规密闭和真空包装储藏120 d品质指标的变化规律。结果表明:相对于常规包装,真空包装储藏有效降低脂肪氧合酶的活性(P<0.05),延缓小米脂质的氧化分解(P<0.05),抑制小米游离脂肪酸含量的升高(P<0.05),较好地保持了小米的水分(P<0.05),延缓了小米黄色素的损耗(P<0.05),较好地保持了小米的亮度(P<0.05)、米黄色(P<0.05)以及弹性(P<0.05)和黏附性(P<0.05);常规密闭包装具有一定的储藏效果,但不及真空包装。因此,常温下真空包装储藏可以有效延缓小米的陈化,保持小米的储藏品质。研究结果为小米储藏,提升小米储藏品质提供了理论依据和技术支持。

基于红外热成像的夜间农田实时语义分割

农田环境实时语义分割是构成智能农机的视觉环境感知的重要环节，夜间农田语义分割可以使智能农机在夜间通过视觉感知农田环境进行全天候作业，而夜间无光环境下，可见光摄像头成像效果较差，将造成语义分割精度的下降。为保证夜间农田环境下红外图像语义分割的精度与实时性，该研究提出了一种适用于红外图像的红外实时双边语义分割网络（Infrared Real-time Bilateral Semantic Segmentation Network，IR-BiSeNet），根据红外图像分辨率低，细节模糊的特点该网络在实时双边语义分割网络（Bilateral Semantic Segmentation Net，BiSeNet）结构基础上进行改进，在其空间路径上，进一步融合红外图像低层特征，在该网络构架中的注意力提升模块、特征融合模块上使用全局最大池化层替换全局平均池化层以保留红外图像纹理细节信息。为验证提出方法的有效性，通过在夜间使用红外热成像采集的农田数据集上进行试验，数据集分割目标包括田地、行人、植物、障碍物、背景。经试验验证，提出方法在夜间农田红外数据集上达到了85.1%的平均交并比（Mean Intersection over Union，MIoU），同时达到40帧/s的处理速度，满足对夜间农田的实时语义分割。
