棉隆熏蒸加短期轮作葱对平邑甜茶幼苗生长及其生理的影响

以盆栽平邑甜茶幼苗为试材,连续2年研究了老龄苹果园土壤经棉隆熏蒸后轮作一茬葱对再植平邑甜茶植株生理特征的影响,为其减轻苹果连作障碍提供理论依据。结果表明：老龄苹果园土壤轮作葱、棉隆熏蒸、棉隆熏蒸后短期轮作葱均能显著促进连作土壤再植平邑甜茶幼苗的生长,其中以棉隆熏蒸后短期轮作葱处理效果最佳。与棉隆熏蒸相比,棉隆熏蒸加短期轮作葱处理的平邑甜茶株高、地径、鲜质量、干质量、根系呼吸速率在2016年7月分别提高了34.5%、19.5%、30.0%、22.6%、21.3%,2017年7月,上述指标分别提高了29.9%、28.4%、35.0%、34.4%、26.5%;棉隆熏蒸后短期轮作葱还显著降低了根系及叶片中MDA含量,提高了根系抗氧化酶（SOD、POD、CAT）活性,两者联用处理的平邑甜茶幼苗净光合速率（Pn）、蒸腾速率（Tr）、气孔导度（Gs）、胞间CO2浓度（Gi）等较棉隆熏蒸也有显著提高。因此,棉隆熏蒸后短期轮作葱能有效防控苹果连作障碍。     

2000年以来中国苹果产业发展趋势分析

对2000年以来我国苹果生产、消费和贸易情况进行分析发现,我国苹果生产区域布局较为稳定,生产高度集中于苹果生产优势区域。苹果生产效率大幅提升,不断满足城乡居民对苹果的消费需求,城乡差距不断缩小,苹果产品贸易顺差进一步扩大。但苹果生产成本利润率显著下降,消费者对苹果品质及营养也提出了更高的要求,苹果生产面临成本、质量等方面的挑战。与此同时,苹果生产中技术服务、农业保险等社会化服务也有了初步发展,未来苹果生产将进一步向高效、优质、社会化发展。     

苹果树体磷素动态规律与施肥管理

以"富士"苹果树为试材,对果树体生物量和各器官及其皮层、木质部的磷含量和累积动态进行了研究,以期探讨果树磷素吸收、转运和分配规律.结果表明,3月26日至9月21日,树体生物量呈直线增加,果实采收后,生长缓慢,7月30日后,根系快速生长,植株、地上部及根系中磷累积迅速增加;枝、干和根系皮层内磷含量与累积7月30日最低,休眠期最高,皮层磷含量枝＞干＞根系;而木质部磷含量与累积4月30日达最低,木质部磷含量根系＞枝＞干;一年内,果树吸磷总量为28.72 kg/hm2,果实和叶片共带走磷素7.94 kg/hm2,7月30日至9月21日,吸收磷素18.32 kg/hm2,占吸收总量的63.8%,9月21日至1月15日,吸收磷素10.40 kg/hm2,占36.2%;苹果树(苹果产量48 t/hm2)年推荐施纯磷47.86 kg/hm2,果实收获后秋季基施磷17.33 kg/hm2,果实膨大期前追施磷30.53 kg/hm2.     

甲壳素对连作平邑甜茶生长、光合及抗氧化酶的影响

以苹果连作土盆栽的平邑甜茶幼苗为试材,探讨了0、0.5、1.0和2.5 g·kg-1不同施入量的甲壳素对其光合速率、活性氧含量及抗氧化酶活性的影响。结果表明,1.0 g·kg-1的甲壳素处理能显著促进幼苗株高、地径,干样质量和根冠比的增加,根冠比为对照的1.51倍;明显提高了幼苗叶片光合色素含量、净光合速率和蒸腾速率,其中光合速率为对照的1.30倍;同时提高了幼苗叶片超氧化物歧化酶(SOD)、过氧化物酶(POD)、过氧化氢酶(CAT)和抗坏血酸过氧化物酶(APX)活性,分别为对照的1.10倍、1.85倍、1.77倍和1.43倍;减少了叶片丙二醛(MDA)、过氧化氢(H2O2)和超氧阴离子的积累,分别为对照的73%、62%和34%,降低了脯氨酸(Pro)和可溶性糖含量。当甲壳素施用量为2.5 g·kg-1时则显著抑制平邑甜茶幼苗生长,降低幼苗叶片光合速率和抗氧化酶活性,并使超氧阴离子和脯氨酸含量明显上升。因此,适宜用量的甲壳素能减轻苹果的连作障碍。     

Assessment of the socio-economic impacts associated with the arrival of apple snail (Pomacea canaliculata) in Mwea irrigation scheme,Kenya

Background

In Kenya, rice (Oryza sativa L.) is mainly produced under irrigation by small-scale farmers. Mwea irrigation scheme (MIS) in Kirinyaga County accounts for 80–88% of rice production. Here, rice is the main source of livelihood and a source of revenue generation for the county. However, a recently established invasive freshwater snail, Pomacea canaliculata (Lamarck) (family: Ampullariidae), a species of apple snail, presents a serious threat to rice production.

Results

Household surveys, focus group discussions and key informant interviews highlight apple snail as a serious problem in MIS. Households that observed at least a moderate level of infestation (>20% of cultivated area) experienced significant reductions in rice yield (~14%) and net rice income (~60%). Farmers reported increased use of chemical pesticides for management of apple snail. In addition, the cost of hired labor for physical removal of egg masses and snails is resulting in substantial negative effects on net income. Farmer age, area of land owned, responsibility for decision-making, receipt of extension advice, training, and membership of a farmer organization, were all statistically significant variables to explain farmers awareness of the need for area-wide apple snail management.

Conclusion

Strategies to limit the spread of apple snail are urgently needed. A Multi-Institutional Technical Team (MITT) has been established to spearhead management efforts and consolidate advice to farmers on how to manage apple snail. However, without action to mitigate spread, the consequences could be disastrous for rice production and food security in Kenya, and for other rice growing regions across Africa. © 2023 The Authors.

基于改进YOLOv7的苹果生长状态及姿态识别

针对目前苹果在复杂环境下难以进行生长状态分类识别、姿态信息同步获取等问题,该研究提出了一种基于改进YOLOv7的苹果生长状态分类和果实姿态融合识别方法。首先改进多尺度特征融合网络,在骨干网络中增加160×160的特征尺度层,用于增强模型对微小局部特征的识别敏感度;其次引入注意力机制CBAM(convolutional block attention module),改善网络对输入图片的感兴趣目标区域的关注度;最后采用Soft-NMS算法,能够有效避免高密度重叠目标被一次抑制从而发生漏检现象。此外,结合UNet分割网络和最小外接圆及矩形特征获取未遮挡苹果姿态。试验结果表明,改进YOLOv7的识别精确率、召回率和平均识别精度分别为86.9%、80.5%和87.1%,相比原始YOLOv7模型分别提高了4.2、2.2和3.7个百分点,另外苹果姿态检测方法的准确率为94%。该文模型能够实现苹果生长状态分类及果实姿态识别,可为末端执行器提供了抓取方向,以期为苹果无损高效的采摘奠定基础。     

‘国光’苹果及其红色芽变花青苷合成与相关酶活性的研究

 以‘国光’苹果及其红色芽变为试材, 测定了果实发育期间的花青苷含量及其相关酶活性,并研究了套袋对芽变花青苷合成的影响。结果显示: ①在果实发育期间, 芽变果皮的花青苷含量明显高于‘国光’, 尤其是成熟期芽变果皮花青苷含量为132170 U·g^-1FW, 而‘国光’仅为49140 U·g^-1FW; ②在果实发育期间, 两个品种间PAL 和UFGT的酶活性无明显差异, 但芽变的CHI和DFR酶活性明显高于‘国光’, 表明芽变花青苷合成能力的提高与CHI和DFR酶活性高有关; ③套袋抑制芽变果皮花青苷的合成, 但解袋后花青苷的含量极显著升高, 解袋后4种酶的变化趋势差异较大, CHI和UFGT活性均迅速升高, 明显高于对照, 这与解袋后花青苷迅速合成相吻合。综上结果, 芽变与原有品种在着色机理上的关键指标是果皮花青苷含量和CHI酶活性。     

MdMYB1转录因子调控红星苹果果实着色的计算机模拟分析及表达验证

 从‘红星’苹果(Malus domestica‘Delicious’) 果实中克隆获得了MdMYB1基因, 通过生物信息学分析( in silico analysis) 和活体细胞融合蛋白荧光观察, 确定其编码蛋白定位于细胞核。同时, 克隆了MdDFR和MdUFGT基因的启动子, 模拟分析表明2个基因的启动子序列中含有MYB结合的顺式作用元件。为了探讨MdMYB1转录因子是否调控MdDFR和MdUFGT基因的表达, 对不同光照条件下果皮花青素含量和基因表达进行了检测, 结果表明光照能够诱导花青素积累, 并迅速启动3个基因表达, 且3个基因表现出高度相似的表达模式, 表明MdMYB1转录因子可能直接调控MdDFR和MdUFGT基因的表达。     

苹果可溶性固形物含量的检测方法——基于可见光近红外光谱技术

Preparation and Quality Evaluation of Nutritionally Enriched Jam Made from Blends of Indian Blackberry and Other Fruits

Jamun (Syzygium cumini) is a tropical, underutilized fruit which is highly perishable in nature. It is a good source of vitamin C, tannins, gallic acid and anthocyanins and its beneficial effects are mostly due to the presence of bioactive compounds (pigments and phenolic compounds) in it. Due to astringent and fibrous nature, preparation of jam from jamun pulp is quite difficult, but other fruits (apple and kiwifruit) can be incorporated in it to improve its quality. This study aims to develop jam from blends of jamun with other fruits and analyse various physico-chemical, nutritional, textural and sensory properties. It was found that physico-chemical properties of jams were not found to vary greatly, but the jamun–kiwifruit jam was found to have fairly high amount of antioxidants(46.75 ± 0.67%), tartaric acid (26.24 ± 0.02 mg/100g sample), ascorbic acid (0.08 ± 0.01 mg/100 g sample) and lactic acid (23.95 ± 0.01 mg/100g sample) and lowest amount of 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (0.38 ± 0.04 mg/100 g sample). Jamun jam and jamun–kiwifruit jam possessed the texture required for jam while jamun–apple jam was found to be a relatively harder gel. Jam made with jamun and kiwifruit pulp was found to have highest acceptability on the basis of sensory evaluation.
