      Abstract:Over a decade, the Chinese government has attached great importance to the conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA). According to 20 priority fields described in the Global Plan of Action for the Conservation and Sustainable Utilization of Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (GPA), the Chinese government has formulated and perfected a series of regulations and laws and has strengthened the management for plant genetic resources. Through training and popularization of scientific knowledge related to genetic resources, the public awareness has been promoted. Through the international cooperation and establishment of collaborative networks, it has promoted the exchanges of information, prefessionals and materials. Through the implementation of various national programmes and projects, the conservation system for plant genetic resources has been established and improved gradually to achieve the objectives of safe conservation and sustainable use of plant genetic resources, which has played a great role in plant breeding and food security in both China and the world.(1) A systematic survey and cataloguing for main grain crops and wild species of crops has been undertaken. Totally 116 in situ conservation sites, including wild rice, wild soybean, wild relatives of wheat and wild vegetables etc. has been established. In addition, other 30 in situ conservation sites have been put in plan for construction. Rapid extinction of wild plant genetic resources has been controlled effectively.(2) China has established a long-term national genebank, one national duplication genebank, ten medium-term national gene banks, 29 medium-term provincial genebanks and 32 national gemplasm nurseries (including two in vitro seedling banks). In addition, other seven germplasm nurseries are in building. Thus, a sound system for conservation of national plant genetic resources has been basically formed. Totally 397067accessions of plant genetic resources has been preserved in the long-term genebank and the germplasm nurseries.(3) A total of 286604 accessions of plant genetic resources were multiplied and regenerated in the past ten years, which has enriched the medium-term genebanks and significantly increased the distribution ability of plant genetic resources to breeders and researchers. Only in 2001-2007, 132000 accessions of germplasm resources were provided to 2650 institutions in China.(4) With the investment of 180 million RMB from the State, the National Key Facility of Crop Gene Resources And Genetic Improvement was established in 2003, which provides a excellent platform for genotyping and gene discovery of plant genetic resources.(5) Through in-depth characterization and evaluation of plant genetic resources, a great number of elite germplasm have been screened out and used in the development of new plant varieties widely used in production, leading to the effective increase of the utilization efficiency of plant genetic resources. Meanwhile, through intercropping and rotation between (6) Although China has gained remarkable achievements in conservation and utilization of plant genetic resources, there still are a number of challenges. China needs to strengthen the cooperation with other countries and international organizations, to acquire plant genetic resources and relevant technologies from abroad, to continue the survey, exploration and collecting of plant genetic resources, especially for wild plant genetic resources and landraces which are grown in remote areas of the country, to further establish and perfect conservation systems for plant genetic resources. Therefore, we should systemetically characterize and evaluate plant genetic resources conserved and provide them for the use. The sharing of genetic resources and benefits should be further improved to promote the utilization efficiency of genetic resources in China.By strengthening the management for plant genetic resources, the objectives of sharing the plant genetic resources in the country and expanding the exchanges with foreign countries have been achieved, greatly contributing to food security in both China and the world, rapid development of national economy, and increase of the farmers’ income.different kinds of crops and mix-cropping of different varieties, the diversity of varieties has been conserved and the damages caused by diseases, pests and weeds have been reduced.

      Abstract:In this study, differential expression of heat-stable proteins in eighty-five cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) was analyzed by using SDS-PAGE and western blotting, to explore the feasibility of using specific proteins to identify Indica-Japonica rice. The results showed that the heat-stable proteins expressed differentially between Indica and Japonica rice, especially in the molecular weight of about 42 kD ~ 47 kD range. Among them, 45.2 kD band (Band I) and 46.5 kD band (Band II) were marker bands for typical Japonica rice. Both bands matched to Os03g0168100 in NCBI protein databank, 42.0 kD band (Band Ⅲ, matched to OsI_10172) was marker band for typical Indica rice. Eighty-five Indica and Japonica rice varieties were identified based on the expression pattern of these three bands, and then compare the results with Cheng’s index. The concordances were 80.0% and 86.4% in typical Indica rice and Japonica rice, respectively. Therefore, the method of hest-stable protein marker bands can be used for identifying typical Indica rice and Japonica rice.

      Abstract:10 maize landraces selected from the collection of China National Genebank were planted according to the randomized block design to reveal the phenotypic diversity of quality and agronomy traits. The results showed : 1) The average oil content was 4.92%, and 11, 2 and 3 landraces were identified to reach the high oil level of class 3, 2 and 1 respectively. There was no significant difference among districts for oil content. 2) The average protein content was 12.55%, and 96% of landraces reached the protein content of class 1 of edible maize. There existed significant difference among districts for protein content. 3) The average starch content was 70.88%. No landraces reached the certificated standard of high starch maize variety. 4) Plant height, ear height and tassel branch appeared to be widely variant and significantly different among districts. The landraces from the south, southwest and northwest of China possessed stronger and higher plants and well developed tassels whereas the those from northern and northeastern China possessed relatively shorter and slimmer plants and fewer-branched tassels. 5) Among three ear traits, the highest variation belonged to ear length followed by ear row number and ear diameter. There existed significant difference among districts for these three traits. 9 landraces were identified according these 3 ear traits, of which, 5 presented the longest ear, 1 the widest diameter and 3 the largest row number. 6) There existed significant difference among districts and traits for diversity indices. Landraces from the south, east and southwest of China possessed relatively higher diversity level. Results from the phenotypic diversity analysis suggested that the evaluated landraces appeared higher oil and protein content but lower starch content. Meanwhile, landraces from southern, eastern, and southwestern China showed relatively higher diversity level than those from the other regions of the country.

      Abstract:In order to evaluate adzuki bean germplasm resources precisely, an entropy-based evaluation model for Multiple Objective Decision Making (MODM) was tested. Combining misty mathematics and the thought of entropy, the method of double base point in multi-property decision analysis was applied. After comprehensive evaluation, the order of eight adzuki bean entries in the test was decided from the best to the worst as following, B00766, B01805, B00091, B00651, B01670, B00655, B00388 and B00774. The MODM method can avoid the bias caused by single trait decision methods, and provide more reliable decision for parents selection in breeding programs. The MODM was an easy and precise method to handle in the evaluation procedure of adzuki bean germplasm resources based on multiple characteristics.

      Abstract:The distant hybridization of commercial cultivar Co419 × a wild clone of S.Spontaneum Yunnan75-1-2 was fulfilled. Yunye02-356, one clone of F1 generation, was backcrossed as male by commercial cultivar ROC25. The seedlings, from the two populations of Co419 × Yunnan75-1-2 (F1) and Yunye02-356 × ROC25 (BC1), were selected for propagation. All clones including F1,BC1 and their parents were planted in one trial with random complete block design of three repeats. The inheritance of quality traits of real progenies from the two populations was analysed with R software. The results showed that the broad-sense heritability of quality traits of the two populations is high. All quality traits displayed a obvious normal distribution regularity. All quality traits showed significantly and positively related. Both sugar yield and fibre content are higher in the F1 populations than commercial parent, but other traits including commercial cane sugar, sugar content in cane juice, brix in cane juice and apparent purity of cane juice are all worse in the F1 population than in the commercial parent. The performances of quality traits are almost between the two parents except sugar yield higher in the BC1 population, and the main traits are better in BC1 population than in F1 population.

      Abstract:The insect-resistant inbred line 508 of the non-heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica chinensis L.)as female parent and susceptible inbred line 114 as male parent were used to construct six generation populations of P1、P2、F1、BC1P1、BC1P2 and F2. The resistances of all the populations to diamondback moth (DBM) were evaluated in net, and the joint analysis method for six generations was used to analyze the inheritance of insect-resistance. The results showed that the insect-resistance was partly recessive in the combination of 508×114 and fitted to the D-1 genetic model which is one pair of major additive-dominant gene plus additive-dominant polygene’s. The heritability of the major genes in BC1P1, BC1P2 and F2 populations were respectively 57.21%、25.87% and 76.05%. The results will be helpful for us to effectively utilize the insect-resistant gene resources in insect-resistance breeding.

      Abstract:Understanding molecular mechanisms of salt tolerance is beneficial to molecular breeding for salt tolerance in Maize. Previous studies on Arabidopsis revealed that the Na+/H+ antiporter conferring salt tolerance depends on the proton gradients established by proton pumps. H+-ATPase and H+-pyrophosphatase pump cytoplasmic H+ across the vacuolar membrane into the vacuole, generate the H+ gradient, and power secondary active transporters of inorganic ions and organic acids. Therefore, in this study a gene from maize based on AVP1 of Arabidopsis by the homology-based cloning was cloning. Blast searches indicated that this gene encodes a vacuolar membrane pyrophosphatase (VPP)-like protein belonging to the H_PPase superfamily, therefore named as ZmVPP1. The cDNA contains an uninterrupted open reading frame of 2301 bp, coding for a polypeptide of 766 amino acids. Multiple sequences alignment revealed that the protein is highly conserved in the plants. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to analyze expression patterns of ZmVPP1 in different organs and under different stresses. We found that ZmVPP1 was mainly expressed in mature leaves but lower in reproductive organs such as young ear, indicating that ZmVPP1 may play some roles in sequestration of Na+ in the vacuole of mature leaves and protect young tissues. Expression under dehydration, PEG, NaCl, cold and ABA showed that ZmVPP1 was response to the stresses rather than ABA. The results suggest that ZmVPP1 is involved in salt tolerance.

Only sixteen out of all primer pairs successfully amplified the DNA fragments by using PCR procedure across all samples, which demonstrated a 51.6% over all primers was transferrable. Total 18 polymorphic loci were detected by the 16 primer pairs, and allele number at each locus ranged from 2 to 4, indicating a wide range of genetic diversity. Clusterring analysis based on Nei’s genetic distance showed that the six plants could be grouped into three clades, and the division was confirmed by principal component analysis. More over, this grouping profile was mainly attributed to polymorphism of three ESTs, e.g. DY529957, DY529903 and DY529885. According to the sequence similarity, the three ESTs were assumed to encode an auxin-repressed protein (ARP), Defensins (Def) and hypothetical proteins, respectively, Both ARP and Def were well documented to be involved in salt stress responds but form different pathways in plants. This result implies that different mechanism might be evolved among the genera.

      Abstract:Eleven transgenic Cry1Ac+API-B cotton lines were evaluated on the agronomic traits, like resistance to cotton Bollworm, yield and fiber quality traits. Compared with their receptor ‘Ekang 9’, distinguished resistance to cotton bollworm was found among these transgenic lines, and most of them presented moderate resistance or high resistance to bollworm. Moreover, significant differences were also found in yield and yield related components between transgenic lines and ‘Ekang 9’. All transgenic lines decreased in lint percentage and lint index. But other agronomic traits like plant height, number of fruit branch, bolls per plant and fiber quality traits like length, micronaire and strength varied in different directions compared these transgenic lines with‘Ekang 9’.

      Abstract:Using 378 japonica rice germplasm resources from 14 foreign countries and 13 provinces of China, the dead leaf rate at the seedling stage under different alkaline stress was evaluated, and japonica rice germplasm resources with strong alkaline tolerance were selected. The results showed that the dead leaf rate under alkaline stress for pH9.4 was significantly larger than that under alkaline stress for pH 8.9, while alkaline stress for pH 8.9 was more suited to evaluate the dead leaf rate for japonica rice germplasm resources. The alkaline tolerance among different japonica rice germplasm resources from different geographical origins under alkaline stress for pH8.9 was significantly different. The japonica rice germplasm resources from Australia, Italy and Jiangxi province of China were appeared lower dead leaf rate, which had stronger alkaline tolerance than others. The dead leaf rate of tested materials during 16 days to 26 days under alkaline stress for pH8.9 were ranged from 20% to 100%, and which showed continuous distribution near normal with larger variance and coefficient of variation. So these period was considered fit to evaluate the alkaline tolerance for japonica rice germplasm resources. Twenty-one japonica rice germplasm resources, such as YR196, Baru, Fengjin, Nipponbare, 8068, Suijing 5 and so on with strong alkaline tolerance were selected, which showed stronger alkaline tolerance with less than 40% of the dead leaf rate when 16 days under alkaline stress for pH8.9. These rice germplasm resources could be applied for further rice alkaline tolerance breeding.

      Abstract:Brachypodium distachyon which characters a small genome size, a short lifecycle, simple cultivation condition, and high transformation efficient is one of most popular model plants recently. The International Brachypodium Initiative (IBI) just sequenced the whole genome in February 2010. The SGT1 and RAR1 genes are pretty important and well conserved genes related the plant resistant disease function. RNA interference (RNAi) is an excellent and major method to study the genes’ function of plants nowadays. In this paper, we used the new powerful cloning system called Gateway Cloning to generate the high-throughout inducible RNAi gene silence vectors for these two important disease related genes in Brachypodium distachyon. Gateway Cloning system is a time-saving, easy to operating, and high efficient molecular cloning technology. It concluded two steps which called BP reaction and LR reaction respectively. At the same time we also used the Gateway Cloning to generate the protein TAP-tag fusion vectors which can be used for the study of the purification the SGT1 and RAR1 proteins and their interactive proteins in this new model plant Brachypodium distachyon. Finally we used the Agrobacterium-mediated transformation system (ATMT) to transform these RNAi and TAP-tag fusion vectors into Brachypodium distachyon genetype Bd21, and got the RNAi TAP-tag fusion plant transformants which can be used for further studying the function of these two genes related disease resistance in Brachypodium distachyon in future.
