Asbtract ( 1575 )   PDF (333KB) ( 639 )  

In this paper,the development characteristics,young ear differentiation and its growth,and spike characters of three varieties of wheat are sin+died under different photo-temperature conditions.The feasible way of getting larger ear and more grain and improving wheat yield is also approached.The results show that different photo-temperature condition during wheat growing period induced by different seeding time makes the emerged date of various development stages of wheat and the lasted days of these stages much difference.In many cases,there exists a significant or very significant negative correlation between the lasted days of young ear differentiation and the mean air temperature and mead daylength.Different accumulated temperature is the main factor which induces the difference of the growth rate of young ear and that of the total number of spikelets per ear.In suitable wheat-planting area,it is practicable to introduce suitable varieties and appropriately shift their seeding to an earlier time to get larger ear and more grain and to improve wheat yield.

The results show that ADC activity,its metabolic product,putrescine content and ratio o f Spin/spd in nag leaves of hybrid rice exposed to nitrate stress were increased.The increment extent was different from nllcleocytoplasrnic systems an<l the interactions of them with environment concerned.Stable and positive effects of sterile-cytoplasms on ADC activities in the leaves were found.This implies that cytogenes may participate in the biosynthesis of ADC.Although the properties of negative or positive cytoplasmic effects on the enzyme activity in the leaves of test crosses were not altered by different conditions concerned.the extent of cytoplasmic effects in exposure of hybrid rice to nitrate stress was modified.Within Suitable physiological thresholds,positive cytoplasmic effects on ADC activities and grain yield of hybrid rice were pronounced by favorable environment in which putrescine accumulation within itS threshold proportionally promotes the growth of rice plant,while negatively cytoplasmic effects on them were observed under unfavorable conditions in which the rise in putrescine over its threshold relatively retards the growth of rice plant.This suggests that changes in polyamine biosynthesis and level may be an integral part of rice cytoplasmic responses in relations to environmental modulation.Additionally.the putrescine accumulation over its threshold with concomitant activation of IAA-oxidase and diamine-oxidase,and decreases of IAA concentrations was also observed.

Asbtract ( 1557 )   PDF (407KB) ( 385 )  

After early spring burning,the density,diversity and richness of grass species are increased and their evenness is decreased.but it is the contrary after later spring burning.Whether early or later spring burning, the height of the community is decreased,especially in the later burned plot.Burning can promote the growth vigour of Aneurolapidium chinense,which is more significant in the later burned plot. After burning,the leaf production of A.chinense is increaed,and the ratio of leaf to stem is the maximum in the later burned plot.The underground biomass of the community is increased in early burned plot,but decreased in later burned one.

Asbtract ( 1675 )   PDF (552KB) ( 736 )  

The development process and quantitative dynamics of Metarhizium anisopliae in soil and its potential in controlling Carposina nipponensis are studied.The results show that the number of its colony forming units CFU is declined by more than 80% in all treatments after 62～82 days,and by more than 99% after 121～234 days.The half-life of initial inoculum are 28.5 and 23.8 days for conidia and 26.9 and 19.6 days for mycelia in sterile and non-sterile soil,respectively.With C.nipponensis cocoons containing larvae introduced 100 days after soil inoculation,their infection is compensated for the decline,and fungal recovery is 1000 times larger in 278 days than in 271 days after inoculation without cocoons.The mortality of C.nipponensis larvae introduced at different time after soil inoculation is remained by more than 90% by day 131,and is declined to 9.3% by day 237.C.nipponensis is not infected in untreated soil. In plot trials, 97～100% of larvae are killed with doses of 15,22.5,30 and 37.5 kg conidial preparation per hectare,and the rates of bored fruit are 2.7～5.0%.Pilot tests are conducted with an application rate of 22.5 kg·hm^-2in 670 hm² of north Shaanxi.The rate of bored fruit is reduced from 30% for untreated orchards to 2.4% for treated ones.

The area-restricted searching behavior of both male and female imagoes of Harmonia axyridis is studied with methods developed by Nakamuta (1982).The total curved angle of searching trait of imagoes in 15 seconds after feeding is significantly larger than that in 15 secconds before feeding.Their food-searching efficiency is improved by frequent modification on search direction.The total distance between stops in 0～15, 15～30 and 30～45 seconds before feeding is significantly longer than that in 0～15, 15～30 and 30～45 seconds after feeding,respectively. The food-searching speed of imagoes in 0～15,15～30 and 30～45 seconds before feeding is 4～12 times quicker than that in 0～15, 15～30 and 30～45 seconds after feeding, which varies very little before feeding, but The longer the ime before the imagoes find the food,the quicker the searching speed is.The total rectilinear distance from food to stops is significantly longer and the searching area covered by the imagoes is 11～65 times larger before feeding than after feeding. It is believed that both male and female imagoes of Harmonia acyridis have area-restricted searching behavior.

A laboratory experiment is conducted to study the effect of morphological characters.of rice varieties on distribution of Nilaparvata lugens eggs on rice plants and the functional response of Anagrus nilaparvatae to it.The results show that for all rice varieties tested,the vertical distribution of N.lugens eggs on the plants could be divided into three types:mainly on the upper and middle parts of rice plant,mainly on the middle and lower parts of rice plant,and uniform distribution. The number of N.lugens eggs on the upper,rniddle and lower parts of rice plant is very significantly positively correlated with the relative height of leaf sheath back at the corresponding parts of rice plant.The functional response of the parasitoid to N. lugens eggs mainly distributed on the upper and middle parts of rice plant ZND40 is obviously stronger than that mainly distributed on the middle and lower parts of rice plant Z852.

Studies on the relationship between A.ignotum population density and main ecological factors in cotton fields show that the population density is positively related to the lasted years of continuous cropping, but negatively related to the altitude and underground water level.The mite density in open cotton fields is significantly higher than that in mulched ones. The floating time of nymph in static water can be lasted 5.2 hours.For the eviposition of adults,the optimum soil moisture content is 12.5%.The killing power of different insecticides and their applicaition ways to larvae is in the order of spraying decamethrin>spraying omethoate>spraying dicofol>painting slow-releasing methoate on the stem.Developing irrigated cotton field.properly prolonging the lasted years of continuous cropping of cotton,and painting cottop stem during its growing period with insecticide to control aphid will have an important role in increasing A.ignotum population density.

The effect of intensive pen fish farming on surrounding aquatic vegetation is studied in East Taihu Lake.The affected area is larger than 1200 m in diameter.In the central area, Potamogelon maackianus is replaced by Hydrilla verticillata,Ceratophyllum demersum and Myriophyllum slicatum.spirogyra sp.becomes the dominant species. and its plants lost their value as fish food.Pollutant from the pens is the main cause of vegetation degeneration because the load of nitrogen and phosphorus is as high as 242 and 27.4 g·m^-2·yr^-1respectively in the pens (14.3 hm²). The obstacle-effect of the pens on windwave,water current and plant removal is another important cause of the degeneration of aquatic vegetation in the surrounding area. The total area of pen fish farming should be limited in the lake,and the pen should be small,well-distributed and moved its position every two or three years to prevent regional or whole lake eutrophication and vegetation degeneration.

Asbtract ( 1430 )   PDF (323KB) ( 402 )  

Determinations of CO₂ uptake rate,sucrose content,activities of sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS),sucrose synthase(SS)and invertase and ATP/ADP value show that low level SO₂(200μg·m^-3)can instantaneously stimulate the uptake of CO₂ by Picea asperata seedlings.Compared with control,seedlings exposed to low level SO₂ show an obvious decline in SPS and SS activities and sucrose content and have a low value of ATP/ADP,which means that the physiological and biochemical processes of seedlings have been disturbed by SO₂ before the appearance of visible injuries.

Asbtract ( 1540 )   PDF (307KB) ( 695 )  

Studies on the effects of enhanced solar UV radiation on the growth and physiology of soybean and wheat show that under natural conditions,the increase of UV radiation can inhibit the net photosyntetic rate and the growth of leaves,stems and roots of both tested crops.The decrease of biomass and yield is caused by the decline of transpiration and stomatal conductance of leaves.Estination of the crop response on the enhanced UV radiation shows that the mean error between fitting value and observed one is 0.30～8.56%.
