Publications Exchange at the National Agricultural Library

ABSTRACT

A brief overview is provided of the policies, responsibilities, procedures and current projects of the Gift and Exchange Unit of the National Agricultural Library (NAL). Exchange operations which formed a part of the earliest library traditions of the U.S. Department of Agriculture now aid NAL in meeting the challenges of acquisitions operations which must adapt continually during an era of rapid technological change and stringent funding.     

Molecular genetic mapping of peach

Summary A project to develop a linkage map of the peach (Prunus persica) genome is underway using an F2 population segregating for several morphological characters and pest resistance e.g., nectarine (g), weeping shape (pl) and aphid resistance (Rml). The RAPID technique was used to analyse 270 plants. Linkage analysis of the F2 population was performed using the MAPMAKER software. Eight linkage groups were established and RAPID markers flanking thepl gene were found.     

基于主题图的农业模型描述与表示方法

为了提升不同学科模型资源的共享与管理能力,提出了一种新的农业模型描述与表示方法。它以模型组件描述信息为元数据来生成不同层次主题图。首先分析农业模型特征,建立农业模型与模型组件之间的映射关系;然后,抽取农业模型组件刻面与关联描述信息,构建了农业模型组件描述模型（DM-AMC）,进一步将DM-AMC表示为主题类型、关联类型、事件类型以及关联角色;最后,通过实例化并采用匹配融合算法生成了面向农业模型组件的主题图（TM-AMC）。研究以作物生育期模型为例,生成了统一描述与可动态扩展的原子主题图XTM文档。通过对农业模型信息的统一描述,并以DM-AMC为基础生成多层次、便于统一访问的TM-AMC,可提升农业模型信息的全局共享与管理能力。

利用显著图构建注意力深度网络检测诱虫板蔬菜害虫

为提高诱虫板图像蔬菜害虫检测精度,针对背景区域容易导致误检的问题基于显著图分析技术构建了一种注意力深度网络害虫智能视觉检测方法。首先通过显著图筛选出粗候选区域;然后在粗候选区域内用全卷积神经网络精选出细候选区域;接着用神经网络分类器识别细候选区域害虫种类,得到含有冗余的若干检测框;最后用改进的非极大值抑制消除冗余检测框,实现诱虫板图像中目标害虫的检测。针对小菜蛾和瓜实蝇展开试验,获得86.40%的平均精度均值和0.111只的平均绝对计数误差均值,所提方法平均精度均值比Faster R-CNN和YOLOv4分别高2.74和1.56个百分点,平均绝对计数误差均值比Faster R-CNN和YOLOv4分别低0.006和0.003只;同时,消融试验中移除显著图注意力模块后平均精度均值下降了4个百分点、平均绝对计数误差均值增加了0.207只。试验结果表明,所提方法有效提高了诱虫板图像蔬菜害虫检测精度,其中,引入显著图注意力模块对提升检测精度有重要作用。     

节水抗旱稻品种DNA指纹图谱的构建

为了解节水抗旱稻品种的多样性,利用SSR分子标记技术对24份节水抗旱稻和2份普通水稻品种进行DNA指纹图谱构建和遗传多样性分析。结果表明,24对引物共扩增出96个多态性片段,平均每对引物可检测到4个等位基因,每个SSR位点可以检测到2~6个等位基因。引物多态信息含量(PIC)的变化范围为0.36~0.75,平均值为0.58。指纹图谱显示至少可以利用RM71、RM72、RM336、RM337、RM1195和RM5414这6个核心标记的不同组合鉴别区分26份供试材料。聚类分析结果表明,26份材料间遗传相似系数为0.54~0.98,在遗传相似系数0.65处可以将供试材料分为籼、粳两类,较好地反映了供试材料的亲缘关系。本研究结果为节水抗旱稻新品种保护、真伪鉴定及亲本选配提供了参考。     

微粒捕集器再生背压阈值MAP图建立及其应用

为获得柴油机微粒捕集器（diesel particulate filter,DPF）再生背压阈值以提供再生时机判断基准,针对该文设计的喷油助燃再生系统,提出以总油耗量法为基础DPF再生时机背压判断法。基于AVL-BOOST平台建立装有 DPF 发动机的仿真模型,并试验验证其油耗、功率、转矩、排气温度及 DPF 背压变化模拟值,对比结果表明,该模型具有较好的实用性,为获得较高密度和精度的测点值创造条件。沿发动机纵、横向工况分布面上采用最小二乘拟合法与区间分段线性插值法,借助MATLAB对装有干净DPF的发动机等油耗曲面进行拟合。通过设置仿真模型中DPF模块微粒层厚度,记录各工况油耗,并从中筛选出较干净过滤体发动机油耗超过5%时所对应的DPF背压值作为背压阈值,进一步建立DPF再生背压阈值脉谱图（map of arterial pressure, MAP）。从应用试验来看,相同控制策略下采用该MAP判断再生时机可保证DPF再生过程在5～10 min内完成,过滤体内峰值温度及最大温度梯度均低于安全阈值1400 K、75 K/cm,表明该MAP具有较好的实用性,这为实现微粒捕集器的快速、安全再生提供了依据和技术参考。

Genetic linkage map of Chinese native variety faba bean (Vicia faba L.) based on simple sequence repeat markers

Simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker is a powerful tool for construction of genetic linkage map which can be applied for quantitative trait loci (QTL) and marker‐assisted selection (MAS). In this study, a genetic map of faba bean was constructed with SSR markers using a 129 F₂ individuals population derived from the cross of Chinese native variety 91825 (large seed) and K1563 (small seed). By screening 11 551 SSR primers between two parents, 149 primer pairs were detected polymorphic and used for F₂ population analysis. This SSR‐based genetic linkage map consisted of 15 linkage groups with 128 SSR. The map encompassed 1587 cM with an average genetic distance of 12.4 cM. The genetic map generated in this study will be beneficial for genetic studies of faba bean for identification of marker‐locus‐trait associations as well as comparative mapping among faba bean, pea and grasspea.     

Linkage analysis of RFLP markers for clubroot resistance and pigmentation in Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis)

A restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) – based linkage map of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa ssp. pekinensis) (2n=20) including two agronomic traits, clubroot resistance and orange-yellow pigmentation, was constructed using doubled haploid parents. The total linkage distance was 735 cM; 63 loci were distributed into ten linkage groups. Clubroot resistance of the parental line T136-8 to the current pathotype, race 2, was predominantly controlled by a single dominant gene that originated from European turnip. The locus for clubroot resistance by the dominant major gene (CRa) was mapped on linkage group 3, and RFLP loci HC352b and HC181 were located 3 cM and 12 cM from it, respectively. The locus HC352b was identified by a 4.4 Kb Eco R I fragment, which segregated for null allele. The absence of an allelic fragment in HC352b could be interpreted by deletion in the resistance source; homozygotes for CRa could be efficiently selected by detecting null types for the marker. Orange-yellow pigmentation expressed in head inner leaves and petals was governed by a single recessive gene. The locus (Oy) for the pigmentation was mapped on linkage group 1, being located 17–19 cM from three RFLP loci that were closely linked to each other. The linkage analysis for clubroot resistance and unique pigmentation revealed some informative RFLP markers. Identification of molecular markers for clubroot resistance and other agronomically important traits would provide useful information in breeding programs of Chinese cabbage.
