Persimmon breeding in Japan for pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA) type with marker-assisted selection

Oriental persimmon (Diospyros kaki) originated in Eastern Asia, and many indigenous cultivars have been developed in China, Japan, and Korea. These cultivars are classified into four groups based on their natural astringency loss on the tree and seed formation: pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA), pollination-variant non-astringent (PVNA), pollination-constant astringent (PCA), and pollination-variant astringent (PVA). PCNA is the most desirable type because the fruit can be eaten without any postharvest treatment; therefore, one of the goals of our persimmon breeding programs is to release superior PCNA cultivars. The PCNA genotype is recessive to the other three non-PCNA genotypes, and PCNA-type F₁ offspring are obtained exclusively from crosses among PCNA genotypes. Moreover, the number of superior PCNA cross-parents have been limited. In the late 1980s, inbreeding depression became obvious, especially in terms of fruit size, tree vigor, and productivity. To mitigate the inbreeding, a backcross program using PCNA [(non-PCNA × PCNA) × PCNA] was started in 1990. This process, however, was inefficient because only 15% of the offspring were PCNA, and all offspring had to be grown to the fruiting stage. Therefore, molecular markers linked to the PCNA locus were developed for discriminating PCNA offspring. A molecular marker linked to Chinese PCNA has also been developed.     

莲籽壳仁分离与清选机械设计

目前,莲籽的加工是先切壳、穿芯,再进行分离与清选。由于壳与仁之间的间隙较小(0.1～0.2mm),莲籽穿芯、切壳后,多数壳、仁仍为一体,人工分离与清选难度加大,效率也很低下。为此,设计了莲籽壳仁分离与清选机械,将振动分离、揉搓分离、抛掷分离与气流分离有序结合,实施莲籽混合物中莲芯、碎壳和莲仁的分离与清选;介绍了莲籽壳仁分离与清选机械的主要结构和特点;分析了其工作原理和运动特性;确定了该机械的主要技术参数和经济指标。

莲藕中甘薯潜隐病毒实时荧光定量PCR检测技术的建立及应用

甘薯潜隐病毒莲藕分离物（sweet potato latent virus-lotus,SPLV-lotus）在江苏省莲藕产区普遍引起发病,并且该分离物序列与已报道的SPLV甘薯分离物存在较大差异。为进一步监测SPLV-lotus在莲藕上的发生情况,针对SPLV-lotus的CP基因设计并优化特异性引物QSPLV-lotus3-F/QSPLV-lotus3-R,通过优化引物浓度和退火温度条件,构建标准曲线,建立了SPLV-lotus实时荧光定量PCR（Real-time fluorescent quantitative polymerase chain reaction,RT-qPCR）检测技术。该方法特异性强,可以快速检测出SPLV-lotus,灵敏度为普通PCR的100倍,可广泛应用于脱毒莲藕SPLV-lotus的精确检测。

为研制出一款营养丰富、口感独特的荷叶豆乳饮料,以感官评定值为指标,在单因素试验的基础上,通过响应面法优化饮料配方。结果表明,荷叶豆乳的最优配方为：苹果汁添加量5%（V/V）,荷叶浸提物添加量16%（V/V）,白砂糖添加量6%（m/V）,豆乳添加量6%（V/V）,此时响应面预测的感官评分达86.4分。按照该配方制作的荷叶豆乳饮料色泽均匀,荷叶香味怡人,甜酸比适中,无豆腥味,无明显分层。     

Optimization of slow-release fertilizer application improves lotus rhizome quality by affecting the physicochemical properties of starch

To achieve the dual goals of high yield and good quality with low environmental costs,slow-release fertilizer (SRF) has been widely used in lotus cultivation as new type of fertilizer instead of traditional nitrogen fertilizer.However,the optimal amount of SRF and how it would promote lotus rhizome quality remain unclear.This study was designed to investigate the photosynthetic characteristics and the synthesis,accumulation,and physicochemical properties of lotus rhizome starches under six SRF l...     

Ascorbate levels and the activity of key enzymes in ascorbate biosynthesis and recycling in the leaves of 22 Chinese persimmon cultivars

The objective of this study was to determine diversities of ascorbic acid (AsA) and activities of enzymes involved in AsA metabolism, and to determine their relationships to AsA content in the leaves of Chinese persimmon (Diospyros kaki) cultivars. Results showed that there were huge differences not only in the contents of AsA and glutathione (GSH) but also in the enzyme activities of l-galactono-1,4-lactone dehydrogenase (GLDH, EC 1.3.2.3), dehydroascorbate reductase (DHAR, EC 1.8.5.1), monodehydroascorbate reductase (MDHAR, EC 1.6.5.4), ascorbate peroxidase (APX, EC 1.11.1.11) and glutathione reductase (GR, EC 1.6.4.2) in the leaves of 22 Chinese persimmon cultivars. Control of AsA levels mainly depended on the capacity for biosynthesis and GLDH activity played a main role in determining AsA levels in the leaves of persimmon. Both MDHAR and DHAR, MDHAR in particular, also played an important role in maintaining AsA redox state by reducing oxidized AsA back to AsA. But contents of GSH and hydrogen peroide (H₂O₂) and activity of APX were not significantly correlated with AsA content in the leaves of persimmon.

小型鲜莲子剥壳机的设计与试验

由于现有鲜莲子剥壳机的机型结构复杂、价格和维护成本较高,故未能在普通莲农中推广,大多数莲农仍采用手工加工。为了减轻广大莲农劳动负担,实现新鲜莲子机械化剥壳的普及,该文研制了一种结构简单、操作方便、适合普通莲农需求的低价位鲜莲子剥壳机,其整机长×高×宽为756 mm×878 mm×412 mm,质量为37 kg,制造成本约1 500元。测试了鲜莲子外壳的切透力、仁坚实度等机械特性,切透力平均值19.63 N、最大值25.8 N,莲仁坚实度平均值19.02N、最大值23.27 N,此数据可为莲子剥壳机结构参数和工作参数的确定提供参考依据。该机采用内充式空穴分离排料、二步滚动正位、振动切割、滚压脱壳的工作原理实现莲子剥壳。通过对4种不同切割方案的剥壳试验对比,结果表明:配置齿面防滑压板、具有滑切作用的悬挂式振动剥壳机构的剥壳率和剥壳质量均优于其他方案,其剥壳率为92%,整仁率100%,有轻微压痕的小于10%,能满足鲜莲子的剥壳要求。
