Zinc biofortification of maize (Zea mays L.): Status and challenges

Zn deficiency is one of the leading health problems in children and women of developing countries. Different interventions could be used to overcome malnutrition, but biofortification is most impactful, convenient, sustainable and acceptable intervention. Maize is one of the major crops grown and consumed in the regions with prevalent Zn malnutrition; therefore, this is suitable target for Zn biofortification. Zn biofortification of maize could be achieved through agronomic and genetic approaches. Discussion of agronomic approaches with genetic approaches is prerequisite because soils in developing countries are deficit of Zn and availability of Zn in soils is mandatory for estimating the genetic responses of maize genotypes through genetic approaches. Seed priming, foliar and soil applications are agronomic tools for biofortification, but solo and combined applications of these treatments have different effects on Zn enrichment. Genetic approaches include the increase of Zn bioavailability or increase of kernel Zn concentration. Zn bioavailability could be increased by reducing the anti‐nutritional factors or by increasing the bioavailability enhancers. Kernel Zn concentration could be improved through hybridization and selections, whereas genetically engineered attempts for improving Zn uptake from soil, loading in xylem, remobilization in grains and sequestration in endosperm can further improve the kernel Zn concentration. Key challenges associated with dissemination of Zn biofortified maize are also under discussion in this draft. Current review emphasized all of above‐mentioned contents to provide roadmap for the development of Zn biofortified maize genotypes to curb the global Zn malnutrition.

ABA， H2O2与NO对木枣果实成熟生理的影响

在木枣白熟期分别用ABA、H2O2与NO供体硝普纳（SNP）喷洒果实，对其调控木枣果实成熟的生理基础进行了研究。结果显示用不同浓度的ABA，H2O2与SNP处理，枣果实中丙二醛（MDA）的含量明显升高，其中100 mg?L-1浓度时MDA含量为最高；Ca、Vc和β-胡萝卜素含量呈现先降低后升高再下降的趋势，其中75 mg?L-1浓度时Vc和β-胡萝卜素含量最高，50 mg?L-1时Ca含量最高；CAT和APX活性的变化呈现先升高后降低的趋势，75 mg?L-1时CAT和APX活性均最大；DNA含量的变化呈现先缓慢降低后升高再下降的趋势，ABA比H2O2、SNP处理对DNA含量影响更明显，100 mg?L-1时DNA含量最高。结论：ABA、H2O2与SNP对木枣果实发育成熟的影响效果较为明显，其生理效果在多方面表现基本一致，有加快木枣果实成熟衰老的作用。     

禽流感病毒宿主特异性与致病性的分子基础研究进展

禽流感病毒不断重排和变异导致新型流感病毒不断出现,其中有些毒株已经获得了感染哺乳动物的能力,严重危害人类公共卫生安全。近年来,对于禽流感病毒致宿主特异性和致病性的研究取得了一定进展。病毒蛋白某些氨基酸位点的突变就能够改变病毒的宿主特异性,使病毒能够跨宿主传播。而且,病毒的RNA聚合酶、NS1非结构蛋白和几种新发现的病毒蛋白都与病毒的致病性密切相关。论文阐述了禽流感病毒宿主特异性与致病性的分子基础,为禽流感跨物种传播机制研究及防控工作提供参考。     

节水灌溉条件下冬小麦耗水规律及其生态基础研究

从土壤水分、作物生长发育及气象条件三个方面分析了冬小麦农田耗水变化特点。结果表明：在土壤水分状况较好条件下冬小麦农田耗水强度呈双峰曲线变化,不同灌溉处理的耗水高峰出现时期及其峰值不同,而与灌水时期一致,同时灌溉能够明显降低冬小麦利用土壤底墒水能力。在拔节以前冬小麦农田耗水与大气蒸发力呈显著直线相关;拔节后与其干物质积累以及土壤水分含量呈显著正相关,拔节期是冬小麦需水的生理生态临界期。     

西南地区主要类型土壤钾素有效性分析

通过测定西南地区主要类型土壤的基本农化性状、Q/I曲线、固钾率和酸提取钾来研究土壤钾素缓冲容量(PBCK),进而分析土壤钾素的有效性.试验结果表明,PBCK与土壤CEC、固钾率和酸提取均呈极显著正相关,因此可以用PECK来衡量土壤钾素有效性.     

基于径向基神经网络的叶轮轴面投影图优化

为了提高余热排出泵的效率,采用拉丁超立方试验设计方法对叶轮轴面投影图上的前盖板圆弧半径、后盖板圆弧半径、前盖板倾角和后盖板倾角4个几何变量进行35组叶轮方案设计,应用ANSYS CFX 14.5软件对余热排出泵进行定常数值模拟,得到设计工况下的效率,应用径向基神经网络建立效率与轴面投影图的4个几何变量之间的近似模型,最后采用遗传算法对近似模型进行极值寻优,获得最优的轴面投影图几何参数组合。研究结果表明:对比原始泵的数值模拟性能曲线和试验外特性能曲线,两者吻合较好;径向基神经网络能较好地预测泵设计点效率;优化的轴面投影图使得余热排出泵的水力效率提高了6.18个百分点,改善了叶轮内流场特性。因此,叶轮轴面投影图的优化设计方法是可行的。

Morphological Basis of Resistance in Cotton to the WhiteflyBemisia Tabaci

The morphological basis of resistance to the whiteflyBemisia tabaci Genn. (Aleyrodidae: Hemiptera) was studied. The plant characters examined were leaf area, thickness of leaf lamina, hair density, hair length, angle of insertion of leaf hair, and density of gossypol glands. Hair density and leaf thickness were positively correlated with the population ofB. tabaci, and a positive correlation was obtained between the adult whitefly population and gossypol glands on stem internodes. Cotton genotype USA-22 (sparsely hairy) was found to be more tolerant toB. tabaci than was genotype USA-13 (velvety hairy). The use of thinner and glabrous leaved cotton varieties is suggested to minimize the whitefly menace in cotton.
