The priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap of summer maize in the north of Huang-Huai-Hai region,China

Understanding yield potential, yield gap and the priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap in current intensive maize production is essential for meeting future food demand with the limited resources. In this study, we conducted field experiments using different planting modes, which were basic productivity(CK), farmer practice(FP), high yield and high efficiency(HH), and super high yield(SH), to estimate the yield gap. Different factorial experiments(fertilizer, planting density, hybrids, and irrigation) were also conducted to evaluate the priority of individual management factors for reducing the yield gap between the different planting modes. We found significant differences between the maize yields of different planting modes. The treatments of CK, FP, HH, and SH achieved 54.26, 58.76, 65.77, and 71.99% of the yield potential, respectively. The yield gaps between three pairs: CK and FP, FP and HH, and HH and SH, were 0.76, 1.23 and 0.85 t ha~(–1), respectively. By further analyzing the priority of management factors for reducing the yield gap between FP and HH, as well as HH and SH, we found that the priorities of the management factors(contribution rates) were plant density(13.29%)fertilizer(11.95%)hybrids(8.19%)irrigation(4%) for FP to HH, and hybrids(8.94%)plant density(4.84%)fertilizer(1.91%) for HH to SH. Therefore, increasing the planting density of FP was the key factor for decreasing the yield gap between FP and HH, while choosing hybrids with density and lodging tolerance was the key factor for decreasing the yield gap between HH and SH.     

NaHS引发提高裸燕麦种子活力的生理机制

硫化氢（H₂S）信号在作物种子萌发中发挥着重要作用。为探讨外源H₂S供体NaHS引发提高作物种子活力的作用及其生理机制，以裸燕麦种子为材料，分别用不同浓度NaHS （0、50、100、200、400、800、1600 μmol·L^-1）引发18 h和800 μmol·L^-1 NaHS引发不同时间（6、9、12、15、18、21 h），分析其发芽势（GP）、发芽率（GR）、发芽指数（GI）、活力指数（VI）和幼苗干重（DW）的变化，以确定适宜的NaHS引发浓度和引发时间。以未引发种子为对照（CK），同时设置H₂O引发，研究800 μmol·L^-1 NaHS引发18 h对种子H₂S产生、贮藏物质含量和活性氧代谢的影响。结果表明，800 μmol·L^-1 NaHS引发18 h可显著提高裸燕麦种子的GP、GR、GI和VI，但对DW的影响不大。NaHS引发对种子淀粉、可溶性糖、可溶性蛋白质、还原型抗坏血酸（ASA）、脱氢抗坏血酸（DHA）含量及ASA/DHA和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶活性无显著影响，但显著提高H₂S和氧化型谷胱甘肽（GSSG）含量及细胞色素氧化酶（COX）、超氧化物歧化酶、过氧化氢酶和过氧化物酶活性，分别比CK提高了113.5%、14.4%、103.3%、6.1%、112.0%和120.5%；降低α-淀粉酶和β-淀粉酶活性及超氧阴离子、过氧化氢、丙二醛、还原型谷胱甘肽（GSH）含量、GSH/GSSG和质膜相对透性，分别下降了39.8%、53.6%、34.7%、36.1%、37.6%、29.2%、38.1%和11.9%。由此表明，NaHS引发可能通过提高种子H₂S含量，从而调控抗氧化系统和激活COX活性，降低活性氧对质膜的损伤，增强细胞有氧呼吸代谢，提高裸燕麦种子活力。

Improvement,identification, and target prediction for miRNAs in the porcine genome by using massive,public high-throughput sequencing data

Despite the broad variety of available microRNA (miRNA) research tools and methods, their application to the identification, annotation, and target prediction of miRNAs in nonmodel organisms is still limited. In this study, we collected nearly all public sRNA-seq data to improve the annotation for known miRNAs and identify novel miRNAs that have not been annotated in pigs (Sus scrofa). We newly annotated 210 mature sequences in known miRNAs and found that 43 of the known miRNA precursors were problematic due to redundant/missing annotations or incorrect sequences. We also predicted 811 novel miRNAs with high confidence, which was twice the current number of known miRNAs for pigs in miRBase. In addition, we proposed a correlation-based strategy to predict target genes for miRNAs by using a large amount of sRNA-seq and RNA-seq data. We found that the correlation-based strategy provided additional evidence of expression compared with traditional target prediction methods. The correlation-based strategy also identified the regulatory pairs that were controlled by nonbinding sites with a particular pattern, which provided abundant complementarity for studying the mechanism of miRNAs that regulate gene expression. In summary, our study improved the annotation of known miRNAs, identified a large number of novel miRNAs, and predicted target genes for all pig miRNAs by using massive public data. This large data-based strategy is also applicable for other nonmodel organisms with incomplete annotation information.

基于CLIMEX和ArcGIS的灰茶尺蠖在中国的潜在适生区预测

基于中国820个气象站点数据、灰茶尺蠖已知地理分布资料和生物学数据,结合CLIMEX模型与ArcGIS软件模拟预测灰茶尺蠖在中国目前及未来的潜在分布范围,评估灰茶尺蠖的潜在分布范围及气候变暖对其分布的潜在影响。结果表明,灰茶尺蠖在中国目前的适生区主要分布在3°51′N~40°6′N,适生区面积占全国总面积的34.27%。中国大部分省份的气候条件均适合灰茶尺蠖种群生长。随着气候的变化,灰茶尺蠖在中国的潜在适生区面积总体增幅不大,但其组成变化较大。至2050年,预测灰茶尺蠖高度适生区面积占比达最大（22.23%）。相比各种能源之间的平衡情景（A1B）,较高能源需求情景（A2）下灰茶尺蠖在陕甘宁地区向内陆扩张更快。灰茶尺蠖在中国适生区分布广泛,应加强灰茶尺蠖预测预报,趁早采取防控措施,以保障茶叶优质安全生产。
