Abstract:There are five cultivated species in Avena L. They are Common oat (A. sativa L.), Abyssinian oat (A. abyssinica Hochst.), Red oat (A. byzantina Koch.), Small oat (A. strigosa Schreb.) and Naked oat (A. nuda L.). Naked oat is characterized by its hulless seeds, while other oats by their hulled seeds. Naked oat is mainly planted in China and hulled oats are grown in other countries. Therefore, Naked oat has an important place among oats in the world. However, the viewpoints on the origin and taxonomy of Naked oat were disputable among some researchers. The authors believe that the origin locality of Naked oat would be the adjacent region of Shanxi and Inner Mongolia, and the taxonomic status of Naked oat would be an independent species, i.e. A. nuda L.

Abstract:To study the origin and evolution of Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.), 98 accessions of Asian cultivated rice and 125 accessions of common wild rice (Oryza rufipogon) were selected for sequencing analysis. Through sequencing the atpA gene, rps16 intron, trnP-rpl33 inter spacer, trnG-trnfM inter spacer and trnT-trnL inter spacer in chloroplast genome in rice, the haplotype network and phylogenetic tree were made with bio-information software. The results showed that the tested common wild rice had more Indels and SNPs than the Asian cultivated rice. Both the haplotype network and phylogenetic tree divided all test materials into three groups. GroupⅠconsisted by accessions from the Japonica subspecies and the common wild rice, Group II included mainly the accessions of Indica subspecies, while Group III were of the accessions of the common wild rice. Importantly, Group II and Group III had a close relationship, which indicated that the Japonica and Indica Subspecies were originated from Japonica-like and Indica-like common wild rice separately, supporting the Double Domestication Hypotheses of Asia cultivated rice. All the materials of common wild rice with a close relationship to Asian cultivated rice were identified to be collected from South China, implicating South China might be the origin center of Asian cultivated rice.

Abstract:Gnetaceae, as a sole lianas (rare shrubs or arbors) in gymnosperms, plays an important roles in the studies of theoretics and applications. There is only one genus, and about 40 species in the world and 9 species in China, which distributed in the tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa and South America. On the aspects of theoretical research, it is still disputed for the evolution between gymnosperms and angiosperms although a large amounts of studies have been carried out on the morphology and anatomy, chemical constituents and molecular biology. On the aspects of applicable research, the constituents of biological activities, stilbene or its derivatives, alkaloid and flavone, et al., are greatly abundant in this family. Moreover, some species have been Chinese traditional medicines in history. However, exploiture and utilization have been blocked due to its weakness on the studies of introduction, domestication and cultivation. Consequently, this article reviews that the progress on its distribution of species, the research values of theoretical and applicable research, exploiture and utilization, which will provide an basis for the further study of Gnetaceae in future.

Abstract:The aim is to explore the genetic similarity(GS) of major improved rice (Oryza Sativa L.) varieties in Yunnan province The phenotypes of 17 agronomic traits and 48 SSR markers were applied to evaluate the GS among the 40 major improved rice varieties bred by 18 different breeding groups in Yunnan province since 1960s. .The average GS coefficients were 0.244 of the total 40 varieties, 0.289 of the indica ones , 0.309 of the Japonica ones and 0.162 of between indica ones and Japonica ones,respectively on the basis of 17 agronomic traits while the average GS coefficients were 0.383, 0.318，0.478 and 0.267 correspondingly on the basis of 48 SSR markers. The GS at agronomic level was lower than that at DNA level. In total ,214 number of alleles (Na) were detected,and the mean Na was 4.458 ranging from 2 to 8. The average number of the effective alleles (Ne) was 2.8336 ranging from 1.1515 to 5.2981. The average of polymorphic information contents (PIC) was 0.6058 varying from 0.2118 to 0.8816. The average genotype diversity index (H′) was 1.1328 varying from 0.3768 to 1.8087. The markers including RM84, RM249, RM152, RM222 and RM528 were found to be more suitable to evaluate improved rice varieties in Yunnan province in genetic similarity. Clustering analysis based on GS coefficients showed that all the varieties could be grouped into two obviously different clusters corresponding to the two subspecies, indica and japonica. The results also indicated that genetic difference of among the indica rice varieties was higher than that of among the japonica ones. It was discovered that the genetic diversity of improved japonica rice varieties was lower compared with the indica ones and genetic diversity of varieties bred by one breeding group was lower than that by different groups.

Abstract:The genetic diversity and Relationships among 45 orchardgrass accessions was tested by SRAP. Twenty-one primer combinations were used and 438 bands were produced in SRAP, of which 363(82.08%) were polymorphic. The coefficient range of genetic similarity was 0.6248-0.966 with 0.7958 on average, which showed rich genetic diversity of orchardgrass germplasm, too. 45 accessions could be divided into 4 main groups by cluster and principal component analysis, which not only revealed the geographical distribution of accessions but also reflected the difference of karyotype. The result suggested that the genetic diversity of orchardgrass were correlative with karyotype and geographical distribution of accessions. In addition, the narrow genetic basic of Chinese orchardgrass cultivars were found. Overall, it is efficient to breed more excellent orchardgrass and release the genetic variation among accessions by this research.

Abstract:Abstract: Selection of sweetpotato local resources of disease resistance and dry matter was the basis of breeding with multi-resistant, high-quality and high yielding. Identification of disease resistance and quality analysis of 850 sweetpotato local resources were carried out: 71 high-dry matter materials (dry matter ≥30%) were found, 5 high-dry matter materials resistance to three diseases, 23 materials (dry matter ≥30%) resistance to two diseases, 42 materials (dry matter ≥30%) resistance to one disease. Analysis of parent type about 254 varieties of sweetpotato showed that: 85.58% of 254 varieties selected variety (strain) as parents, 18.5% of 254 varieties selected foreign resources as parents, only 8.3% and 0.78% of total varieties selected local resources and wild resources as parents separately.

Abstract:The review focused on the use of molecular biology of DNA molecular markers in the existing wild and cultivated hops of Genetic Diversity progress. Materials were summarized through reading all relative literatures published since 1990s. The results of DNA molecular markers technology are accurate and stable compared to morphological markers and cytological markers. This method is simple, rapid and requirement of sample is low. Random Amplified Polymorphism DNA (RAPD), Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP), Inter-simple Sequence Repeat (ISSR), Simple Sequence Repeat (SSR) and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) are commonly used molecular markers. We found genetic diversity is often higher in hops from North America than which from Europe. The same results were also found in the degree of genetic variation. Meanwhile, the wild hops' gene order has the rich gene diversity, may take an idioplasm in the molecular heredity hybridization breeding to improve the cultivated varieties’ some certain bad characters. However, molecular markers also have disadvantages that employees are required special skills and the cost is high. The widely used molecular markers in plant genetic diversity research solved a number of difficult issues that traditional method cannot deal with. The use of molecular markers in the study of genetic diversity of hops will be an excellent tool to provide theoretical guidance and technological support for the breeding of hops.

Abstract:Based on data inquired from the database on living collection in Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, this article analyzes the introduction of plant resources from China by the Garden in recent century, including the diversity of introduced plants, the source provinces and collection team, main taxa and the total quantity of introduced species in different period. The results show that the Garden has been introducing Chinese plants incessantly since early 20th century. Before 1980s, the introduction was mainly conducted by individuals and the annual sum of introduced species varied from several to several tens. However, since 1990s many expeditions participated in species collection in China and the annual sum was increasing every year, even reaching 500 species one year. The species are introduced from more 20 provinces, especially from Yunnan Province, Sichuan Province, Xizang Automonous Region and Taiwan Province in China. The article also discusses conservation-related problems, challenges and potential counter-measures for China, as one of the mega-diverse countries, in the context that growing focus and highlights are given to protecting bio-resources-related intellectual property rights.

Abstract:In order to study the effects of the wheat-Haynaldia villosa 6VS/6AL translocation chromosome on agronomic traits of common wheat, eleven derived advanced lines carrying 6VS/6AL translocation chromosome and their respective parents, three segregation advanced lines and five F2 population with and without the 6VS/6AL translocation chromosome were selected and analysed for agronomic traits. In general, there were no significant differences between 6VS/6AL lines and their recurrent parents in agronomic traits, including grain yield, spikelets, grains/spike and grain weight/spike. 6VS/6AL lines showed slightly but significantly higher thousand-kernel weight and spike length. Most 6VS/6AL derivatives showed higher plant height than their control parents. However, significant variation occurred for this trait among sister lines from the same cross, indicating that additional selection could lead to further improvements. It was concluded that the 6VS/6AL translocation can be used in wheat breeding programs as a donor of resistance to powdery mildew with no obvious undesirable effects on agronomic traits.

Abstract:Brown planthopper（BPH, Nilaparvata lugens St錶）, whitebacked planthopper（WBPH, Sogatella furcifera Horvath）and small brown planthopper（SBPH, Laodelphax striatellus Fall閚）are three serious pests of rice, which often cause major yield losses and quality reduction in China. Breeding and utilization of resistant varieties is economical and effective in controlling plant hoppers. Study on resistance inheritance and gene is the base of breeding for pest resistance. Nowadays, great progress in rice genes resistance to brown planthopper has been made and twenty-one major BPH resistance genes, morn than fifty QTLs and some resistance-related genes were identified, mapped and cloned. However, research on WBPH and SBPH resistance genes is still in the early stage. In addition, the application of resistance genes to rice production has to be promoted.

Abstract:Abstract: The purpose of this study were to detect elite alleles associated with anaerobic tolerance of seedling from japonica rice varieties growing in Taihu Lake region, and to screen typical carrier genotypes of these alleles. The genotyping data of 91 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers on representative samples of 94 varieties were used in the present study, and the anaerobic responsive index of seedling were investigated. The association analysis between SSR loci and the anaerobic tolerance was performed using General Linear Model program in Tassel 2.0. Elite alleles and their carrier materials were determined on the basis of the result of comparisons between the average phenotypic value of accessions with the specific allele and that of accessions with “null allele”. Four SSR loci associated with seedling anaerobic tolerance were detected. Six elite alleles were RM311-176bp, RM317-164bp, RM112-127bp, RM20-205bp, RM317-157bp, and RM311-170bp. Zhendao88, Baimangnuo, Kaiqing Youmangzaodao, Cuganhuangdao and C-bao were carrier genotypes having the elite alleles for seedling anaerobic tolerance.

Abstract:Due to the restriction of special nucleotide sequences in some genes, it’s difficult to obtain their full-length cDNA sequences by using only one method. In this paper, by combining RACE and Genome Walking techniques, a full-length cDNA sequence of AP2 family was cloned from Elytrigia elongata (2n=70), and named as EeAP2.2. Sequence analysis of EeAP2.2 revealed a single open reading frame (ORF) of 837 bp encoding a protein of 279 amino acids, and a highly conserved AP2 domain which classifies EeAP2.2 as a new member of AP2 superfamily. Further comparison analysis through NCBI blast showed that EeAP2.2 has 98%, amino sequence identities with TaDREB1 (Accession no. AAL01124.1) and TaDREBW50 (Accession no. AAY44605.1) from Triticum aestivum, and its amino sequence identities with HvDREB1-a (Accession no. AAY25517.1) from Hordeum vulgare, FaDREB2A (Accession no. CAG30547.1) from Festuca arundinacea and OsDREB2.2 (Accession no. AY064403) from Oryza sativa are 93%, 86%, 69%, respectively. The result indicates that EeAP2.2 has the highest homology with AP2 family members from Triticum aestivum. This study also provided a fast and effective method for cloning full length cDNA sequences in plants.

Abstract:A cold and freezing-induced full-length cDNA library of Ammopiptanthus mongolicus, a plant with remarkable resistance to severe environments, was constructed by using SMART (Switching mechanism at 5’-end of RNA transcript)cDNA library construction method. The titer of the unamplified library is 9.44?06 pfu/mL; the recombination percentage of the library is 98.3%; the sizes of the insert cDNA fragments ligated to λTriplEx2 vector ranges from 0.5to 2.5b and averagely reaches up to 1.0kb. The titer of the amplified library is 1.98?010 pfu.mL-1. Four hundred and eighty positive clones selected from the unamplified library were sequenced and some stress responsive related genes and novel genes were found. Moreover, using the amplified library as template, a RD22-like gene with the complete coding region of 1083 base-pair was obtained by PCR method.

Abstract:A number of basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors are known to function in stress signaling in plants but few have thus far been functionally characterized in maize. A bZIP transcription factor gene, ZmbZIP71, was isolated from maize inbred line CN165. Sequence analysis showed that ZmbZIP71 encoded a polypeptide of 156 amino acids with predicted molecular mass of 17.59 kDa and pI of 9.24. The genomic DNA of ZmbZIP71 was composed of two exons. The results of real-time PCR analysis indicated that ZmbZIP71 was up-regulated by drought, cold (4℃) and ABA, and down-regulated by NaCl treatment in seedlings, suggesting that ZmbZIP71 might function as an early stress-responsive gene. The tissue-specific expression analysis suggested that ZmbZIP71 was constitutively expressed in maize different tissues and expressed much higher in tassels and female ear than in other organs.

Abstract:An apple ESTs local database of apple fruit (Malus domestica CV red Fuji) was constructed by differential screening and a large number of sequencing against the suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA library from M. domestica Cultivar red Fuji coloring type sports and its wild type. A metallothionein (MT) gene, named MdFjMT2 (Accession No. HQ730757) was cloned by RT-PCR and splicing of 42 cDNA sequences that were obtained by Blastn searching against the ESTs local database. The full length cDNA encoding metallothionein gene MdFjMT2 was 686 bp, including 97 bp of 5′ untranslated region and 319 bp of 3′ untranslated region. It had an open reading frame (ORF) of 240 bp, encoding 79 amino acid residues. The protein molecular weight was 7.7938 kD and theoretical pI was 4.75. The MdFjMT2 contained the conserved domains of all known MT, with 14 Cys (C) residues, ranking in the feature of CC, CXC and CXXC, and locating at protein N terminal and C terminal. The phylogenetic tree analysis revealed that amino acids sequence of MdFjMT2 shared the higher similarity with Pyrus pyrifolia, M. domestica and M. xiaojinensis but the lower similarity with Prunus dulcis, Salix matsudana and Actinidia deliciosa. Bioinformatics analysis showed that MdFjMT2 mainly located in chloroplasts, it had no signal peptide and belonged to the hydrophilic non-transmembrane protein, it had no functional domains and random coil was the major components of its secondary structure. These results provided some information for the further structure and function study of MdFjMT2. The results would be useful to study the gene's functions, and clarify molecular mechanisms of apple coloring.

Abstract:Abstract: Investigation of flowering and seeding status of taro (Colocaia) germplasm resources which conserved in Wuhan National Germplasm Repository for Aquatic Vegetables were conducted. It indicated that: (1) In natural condition, all germplasm of previous C. esculenta (L.) var. antiquorum and C. tonoimo Nakai, which now belonged to Colocasia antiquorum (L.) Schott（2n=2x）, flowered. The flowering status of that of Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott presented that: All germplasm of headed-taro (2n=2x), taro with multi-headed taro (2n=3x), taro used with corm and cormels (2n=3x) did not flower. In Chinese taro with numerous cormels, purple-petiole-taro (2n=3x) did not flower. Red-purple-green-petiole-taro (2n=3x) and green-petiole-taro (2n=3x) flowered partly, whose flowering varieties were uncertain. In taro with numerous cormels which came from Southeast Asia, the flowering phase and flowering rate of green-petiole-taro (2n=3x) were high and long respectly. In addition, one accection of purple-petiole-taro (2n=3x) flower, which differed from Chinese taro with numerous corm els(2n=3x). The flowering rate of green-petiole-taro (2n=3x) which came from Southeast Asia was equal to or higher than that of Chinese taro. In Chinese taro, the flowering rate of diploid was more than that of triploid. The period of flowering of green-petiole-taro (2n=3x) which came from Southeast Asia was the longest, In Chinese taro, diploid was more than that of triploid. (2) Red-purple-green-petiole-taro with numerous cormels and taro used with inflorescence, whose buds were red, belonged to taro with short appendage, and the others, whose buds were white, belonged to taro with long appendage.

Abstract:During last decades, C. sojae become more severe in the Heilongjiang soybean production region due to the change of the soybean cultivars and clmiate. To obtain some resistant to C. sojae in soybean production and breeding, we evaluate and appraise the resistance of C. sojae from 1073 portions of Soybean resource under artificial infection condition. The results showed that there were 33 portions of high resisted resource, 291 portions of resisting disease, 332 portions of moderate resistance、381 portions of affecting disease, and 36 portions of highly affecting resource, which respectively occupied 3.1%、27.1%、30.9%、35.5%、3.4%. We also found much higher frequent advantage of physiological seeds from Number 1, 6 and 7 were 161 portions, 68 portions, 95 portions, which occupied 15%、6.3%、8.9% respectively. All these results showed that there are plenty of anti-disease sources in recent soybean germplasm resources.

Abstract:A wild A-Wei-Mo specimen collected from Xinjiang was identificated with morphological methods. The results showed that it was consistent with the morphological characteristics of Pleurotus eryngii var. tuoliensis, but different from those of Pleurotus nebrodensis reported in Europe. In addition, the strain CCMSSC 02514 isolated from the wild mushroom specimen was analyzed with molecular menthods. Based on rDNA ITS sequences from the phylogenetic tree, the relationship among Bai-Ling-Gu in China, Pleurotus nebrodensis and Pleurotus eryngii var. ferulae in Italy, and Pleurotus eryngii are analyzed. The rDNA ITS sequences of CCMSSC 02514 and Pleurotus eryngii var. tuoliensis AFRL 6022 are identical. Combined with morphology and rDNA ITS sequence analysis, we considered that Bai-Ling-Gu in China is different from the European Pleurotus nebrodensis, and the former is a branch of Pleurotus eryngii evolved independently in China. The scientific name for the Chinese Bai-Ling-Gu in China should be Pleurotus eryngii var. tuoliensis.
