Impact of High Night‐Time and High Daytime Temperature Stress on Winter Wheat

High temperature is a major environmental factor that limits wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) productivity. Climate models predict greater increases in night‐time temperature than in daytime temperature. The objective of this research was to compare the effects of high daytime and high night‐time temperatures during anthesis on physiological (chlorophyll fluorescence, chlorophyll concentration, leaf level photosynthesis, and membrane damage), biochemical (reactive oxygen species (ROS) concentration and antioxidant capacity in leaves), growth and yield traits of wheat genotypes. Winter wheat genotypes (Ventnor and Karl 92) were grown at optimum temperatures (25/15 °C, maximum/minimum) until the onset of anthesis. Thereafter, plants were exposed to high night‐time (HN, 25/24 °C), high daytime (HD, 35/15 °C), high daytime and night‐time (HDN, 35/24 °C) or optimum temperatures for 7 days. Compared with optimum temperature, HN, HD and HDN increased ROS concentration and membrane damage and decreased antioxidant capacity, photochemical efficiency, leaf level photosynthesis, seed set, grain number and grain yield per spike. Impact of HN and HD was similar on all traits. Greater impact on seed set, grain number and grain yield per spike was observed at HDN compared with HN and HD. These results suggest that HN and HD during anthesis cause damage of a similar magnitude to winter wheat.     

小麦面粉中赭曲霉毒素A的CdSe/ZnS荧光量子点免疫探针检测

构建一种基于荧光量子点免疫探针的小麦面粉中赭曲霉毒素A(OTA)的检测方法。以EDC为活化剂将CdSe/ZnS半导体荧光量子点与OTA单克隆抗体偶联,制备OTA检测探针并评价其检测性能。结果表明:制备的检测探针在3d保存期内具有良好的稳定性。当OTA质量浓度为0.1~0.9μg/L时,检测探针的荧光强度与OTA质量浓度呈线性关系,其相关系数为0.996 3,检出限为0.017 7μg/L。与国标法对照的结果说明,此方法具有可行性。小麦面粉中的加标回收试验结果显示,OTA的回收率为96.0%~102.7%,相对标准偏差不超过4.1%,说明准确性良好。可见,OTA的CdSe/ZnS荧光量子点免疫探针检测方法操作简单、准确度高、结果稳定,有望应用于小麦面粉中OTA的检测。     

Thermal and rheological properties of brown flour from Indica rice

The thermal, paste and rheological properties of brown flours from four Indica rice subspecies with different amylose content were examined using Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Brabender Viscometer and rheometer. Peak, final and setback viscosities (p < 0.05) increased with increasing amylose content from Brabender micro Visco-Amylo-Graph (MVA), but the phase transition temperatures of brown rice flour from DSC (p < 0.05) decreased with increasing amylose content. Rheological properties were determined by steady shear, small amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS) and thixotropic experiments. SAOS results showed a gel-like viscoelastic behavior with G′ higher than G″. Steady-shear results showed that the brown rice flour exhibited a non-Newtonian shear-thinning behavior and the flow curves can be well described by the Herschel-Bulkley model. The upward-downward rheograms showed that brown rice flour gel, except IR-1, had a hysteresis loop, indicating a strong thixotropic behavior.     

Identification of CIMMYT spring bread wheat germplasm maintaining superior grain yield and quality under heat-stress

Unpredictable temperatures and rainfall associated with climate change are expected to affect wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in various countries. The development of climate-resilient spring wheat cultivars able to maintain grain yield and quality is essential to food security and economic returns. We tested 54 CIMMYT spring bread wheat genotypes, developed and/or released over a span of 50 years, in the field for two years under optimum sowing dates, as well as using two delayed sowing dates to expose crops to medium and severe heat-stress conditions. The grain yield and yield components were severely affected as the heat-stress increased. Two contrasting groups of 10 lines each were identified to determine the effect of heat-stress on bread-making quality. The first set included entries that produced high yields in optimal conditions and maintained higher yields under heat-stress (superior-yielding lines), while the second set included genotypes that did not perform well in the environment with high temperature (inferior-yielding lines). We identified genotypes exhibiting bread-making quality stability, as well as the quality traits that had higher correlation with the loaf volume in the environment without stress and under heat-stress. Of all the quality traits tested, dough extensibility (AlvL) and grain protein content had a significant influence in heat-stress adaptation. Most of the lines from the superior-yielding group were also able to maintain and even improve quality characteristics under heat-stress and therefore, could be used as parents in breeding to develop high-yielding and stable quality wheat varieties.

分块子空间追踪算法

压缩传感理论是一种充分利用信号稀疏性或者可压缩性的全新信号采样理论。该理论表明，通过采集少量的信号测量值就能够实现可稀疏信号的精确重构。本文在研究现有经典重构算法的基础上，提出结合图像分块思想和回溯思想的分块子空间追踪算法（Block Subspace Pursuit, B_SP）用于压缩传感信号的重构。该算法以块结构获取图像，利用回溯过程实现支撑集的自适应筛选，最终实现图像信号的精确重构。实验结果表明，在相同测试条件下，该算法的重构效果无论从主观视觉上还是客观数据上都有不同程度的提高。     

凸齿镇压器作业过程的运动学与动力学分析

[目的]基于理论推导建立凸齿镇压器作业过程中的运动学和动力学模型。[方法]根据运动学中刚体做平面运动的瞬心定理和牵连运动为平动时质点的加速度合成定理,建立凸齿镇压器在不同工作阶段的运动参数模型;根据动力学中的动量定理、动能定理和冲量定理,建立凸齿镇压器工作状态中所需牵引力、凸齿与地面作用瞬间产生的冲击力和冲击能的参数模型。[结果]凸齿镇压器作业过程中所需的牵引力随着凸齿镇压器的自身质量和滚动阻力系数的增加而增大,而凸齿镇压器转动惯量的增加会降低凸齿镇压器所需牵引力;冲击过程中,凸齿镇压器的牵引速度越大、质量和转动惯量越大、冲击时间越短,则冲击力越大;凸齿镇压器冲击土壤时的冲击能随着凸齿的转动惯量、质量和质心竖直向下移动距离的提高而增加,而随土壤的弹性系数与土壤的塑性变形量的增加而减小。[结论]建立了凸齿镇压器在不同工作状态下运动学及动力学模型,分析并揭示了凸齿镇压器结构参数与运动参数间的相互联系,探索了凸齿镇压器冲击土壤的特征规律,为设计和优化其结构参数和运动参数提供了理论依据。
