Effects of agriculture,climate, and policy on NDVI change in a semi-arid river basin of the Chinese Loess Plateau

In 1999, the Grain for Green Project was implemented by the Chinese government. Since then, the vegetation of Zuli River Basin, a semi-arid river basin of the Chinese Loess Plateau, has been greatly changed. Clearly understanding the impact of natural and artificial factors on vegetation change is important for policy making and ecosystem management. In this study, spatio-temporal variations in vegetation cover in Chinese Zuli River Basin during 1999–2016 were investigated using Landsat normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) data. Analyses of several indicators, including changes in NDVI in different slopes and land use changes and the relationships between climatic factors and NDVI change, were presented to quantitatively evaluate the effects of agriculture, climate, and policy on NDVI change. The NDVI in the Zuli River Basin increased during the study period, and the main contributors to this change were forest in 1999–2011, cropland, abandoned farmland, and grassland in 2009–2016, and land with slopes ≤ 15°. Land with slope > 15°, where the “Project” was implemented, slightly contributed to the increase in regional NDVI. In 1999–2011, the project (?98.16%) combined with climate change (?68.18%) showed negative effects on the increase in NDVI in the Zuli River Basin, but agriculture (22.28%) played a positive role in increasing this index. In 2009–2016 and 1999–2016, the project (38.45% and 35.25%, respectively), the project combined with climate change (49.83% and 46.30%, respectively), agriculture (18.61% and 23.30%, respectively), promoted increases in NDVI in the basin.     

郑196耐大豆胞囊线虫病研究及耐病机理初探

郑196是从黄淮海大豆产区选育的优良大豆品种。该品种在SCN2病圃中鼓粒情况良好;2017年,郑196在黄淮海9个试点的产量与在SCN2病圃中产量相比较,差异不显著,说明该品种具有耐SCN病的特性;利用荧光定量PCR,进一步分析来自Rhg1/Rhg4位点的4个SCN-抗性基因(Glyma18g02580, Glyma18g02590, Glyma18g02610, SHMT)在郑196及其他不同抗性水平大豆中的表达,结果表明:在受到SCN2侵染的0～25 d,4个SCN-抗性基因在抗病材料中的表达量均持续提升;在受到SCN2侵染的10 d/15 d,这4个SCN-抗性基因在郑196及感病材料中表达量达到最高点,之后表达量下降,该结果表明,郑196的耐SCN病机理不同于SCN抗性基因在抗病材料中的抗病机理,其耐病性不是由SCN抗性基因单独调控的,有可能存在其特有的耐病通路或是由抗性基因与耐病基因共同调控其耐病机制。本研究可对抗SCN种质资源创新和抵御SCN策略提供参考依据。     

野生番茄SpIDD1基因的表达分析及其VIGS载体构建

为鉴定野生番茄的SpIDD1基因并探究其功能,以野生醋栗番茄‘PI365967’为试验材料,利用RT-PCR克隆得到SpIDD1基因的CDS序列,全长1 020 bp,编码339个氨基酸,与普通番茄参考基因组序列相比,SpIDD1只存在一个核苷酸位点的差异。蛋白序列比对和结构分析表明,Sp IDD1含有1个核定位信号和4个保守锌指结构域(C2H2·C2H2·C2HC·C2HC),是一个典型的IDD蛋白。系统进化分析表明,SpIDD1与马铃薯和辣椒的IDD蛋白亲缘关系最近。荧光定量PCR显示,SpIDD1在叶、顶芽和果实中的表达较高,并受干旱胁迫的显著诱导。利用TRV-VIGS系统构建了Sp IDD1的基因沉默载体,并成功侵染番茄。研究结果表明,SpIDD1作为一个典型的IDD基因,很可能参与了番茄的干旱胁迫。本研究为进一步研究该基因的功能及作用机理提供理论依据。
