    Abstract:
    Plant branching （tillering） is a complex and strictly regulated developmental process that significantly affects plant morphogenesis and yield， making it one of the focal points in the study of ideal plant architecture. The formation of plant branches requires at least two critical steps： the formation of axillary meristems and the formation and development of axillary buds into branches. In recent years， it has been confirmed that various factors regulate these processes， ultimately affect the number of plant branches. This article briefly describes the molecular regulatory mechanisms of plant branching， including the regulatory networks of key genes involved in the formation of axillary meristems and the formation and growth of axillary buds. It reviews the effects of various endogenous hormones， including auxins， cytokinins， gibberellins， brassinosteroids， and strigolactones， as well as the nutrient sucrose and environmental factors such as light on branch formation. The aim is to lay the foundation for breeding high-yield new varieties with ideal plant architecture. Additionally， the article discusses the regulatory effects of interactions between hormones on branch formation and analyzes the current state and future directions of research on the branching of oil crops， with the hope of providing a theoretical basis for shaping ideal plant types.

    Abstract:
    Iron is one of the essential trace elements in the life process of plant cells， which is involved in respiration， chlorophyll biosynthesis， photosynthesis and other life processes. The soil contains a large amount of iron， but the use of available iron is limited， which leads to iron deficiency in plants. Iron deficiency in plants is directly related to their growth and development， pollen viability and quality formation， resulting in yield loss. An important measure to solve this problem is to improve the absorption and efficient utilization of iron in soybeans. Therefore， mastering the law of soybean iron absorption and utilization and clarifying the molecular genetic mechanism behind it are important prerequisites for achieving efficient utilization of iron in soybean. The high efficiency of iron nutrition is a quantitative trait controlled by multiple genes. Research and cultivation of “high-iron soybean” based on its related functional genes is one of the future hotspots. In addition， iron deficiency chlorosis in soybeans can be effectively improved through cycle selection and targeted selection. Based on this， this study focuses on the role， absorption， distribution， and transportation of iron in soybean， as well as the toxic phenomena caused by excess. It also discusses the involvement of iron in soybean nitrogen fixation， and the effects of iron deficiency and high iron on soybean growth and development. The progress and important scientific problems of iron absorption， transport mechanism and molecular regulation mechanism in soybean at home and abroad are reviewed in order to provide theoretical information for the efficient utilization of iron nutrition in soybean.

    Abstract:
    Lodging not only reduces the yield， but also is the most important factor affecting mechanized harvesting. Improving the strength of stalk is an important target for lodging-resistant breeding.In this study， a doubled haploid （DH） population （GZ-DH population） developed via microspore culture from a cross F1 between the G922 and Zhongshuang 11 （ZS11） was used as material， quantitative trait loci （QTL） mapping for stalk strength and its related traits were performed. The main results are as follows： （1） The F1 progeny crossed by ZS11 and G922 had significant mid-parent heterosis in three traits， stalk diameter （SD）， stalk rind thickness （SRT） and stalk bending strength （SBS）. The correlation between the SBS and four traits， SD， SRT， stalk xylem thickness （SXT）， rind penetrometer resistance （RPR）， as well as between the RPR and SXT， were all positively significant correlation. （2） A genetic linkage map was constructed with 1984 SNP markers， and the total length was 2592.64 cM. 90 QTLs for stalk strength and its related traits were detected in four environments， in which 17 QTLs were identified in more than two environments， including 6 QTLs for SD， 5 QTLs for stalk strength （SS）， 2 QTLs for SRT and 4 QTLs for SBS. The major QTL of SD， cqSD.C8-1 could be detected repeatedly in all four environments， and explained 14.67% of phenotypic variation. Two QTL clusters were found on chromosome A2 and C6， respectively， cqSD.A2 consisting of four SD QTLs and cqSS.C6 consisting of four SS QTLs. （3） Stem diameter QTL cluster cqSD.A2 and its three linked molecular markers （Bn-A02-p7893901， Bn-A02-p10176749， Bn-A02-p10668400）， QTL cqSD.C8-1 and its two linked molecular markers （Bn scaff_25981_1-p90999， Bn scaff_16287_1-p366585） can be used for molecular marker assisted breeding. This study further enriches the genetic mechanism of stem lodging resistance in Brassica napus， laying the foundation for fine mapping of stem diameter traits and molecular marker assisted breeding.

    Abstract:
    The content of mineral elements is a crucial indicator for evaluating forage quality and breeding. In recent years， rapeseed has become a valuable high-yield forage source， playing a key role in alleviating the shortage of feed resources in China. This study aimed to reveal the genetic variation of major mineral nutrients in the core germplasm of Brassica napus and to support the breeding of mineral-rich rapeseed. We evaluated the phenotypic variation in the contents of K， Ca， Na， Mg， Fe， Zn， and Cu in 272 core germplasms of B. napus using ICP-OES after hydroponic treatment. Through GWAS， we identified molecular markers significantly associated with the content of these minerals and predicted related candidate genes. The results showed significant variation in mineral content among different germplasms， and principal component analysis transformed the seven mineral indicators into three new indicators， with a cumulative contribution rate of 68.479%. Some significant positive and negative correlations were found between different minerals； some germplasms exhibited extreme values for multiple minerals. A total of 134 SNPs related to mineral content were identified， and 14 candidate genes were predicted. This study provides important insights for the breeding and creation of new germplasm rich in mineral nutrients.

    Abstract:
    Brassica napus is the main source of edible vegetable oil in China， which plays an important role in the security of edible oil supply， and drought has seriously constrained the production of B. napus in China. Mining drought tolerance loci and candidate genes in B. napus germination will provide theoretical basis and technical support for breeding new drought-tolerant B. napus varieties. In this study， 145 B. napus germplasm resources were used for seed germination under normal and 15% PEG6000 conditions， respectively. The data of germination potential， seedling formation rate and germination index of different materials were investigated. The drought tolerance indicators were screened during germination and genome-wide association analysis （GWAS） was performed. The results showed that germination index could be used as an indicator of drought tolerance during the germination stage of B. napus. Total of 17 extreme drought-resistant and 9 extreme drought-sensitive germplasm were screened on the basis of germination index. A total of 2 major effect loci significantly associated with drought tolerance were detected by GWAS analysis of germination index using MLM （Mixed linear model） in B. napus， which were distributed on two chromosomes， C07 and C09， with 11 SNP on chromosome C07 and 3 SNP on chromosome C09. Combing with the functional annotation of the candidate genes in the significantly associated SNP intervals and their expression data under different stresses， BnaC07G0290100ZS，BnaC07G0290500ZS and BnaC07G0290700ZS were significantly induced by drought stress， and it was hypothesized that BnaC07G0290100ZS，BnaC07G0290500ZS and BnaC07G0290700ZS are the key genes regulating drought tolerance in B. napus during germination stage.

    Abstract:
    In order to identify effects of the cross-resistance and the function of resistant genes BnAHAS1-3R in germplasm M196， this study examined the resistance effect of rapeseed M196 and N131 （wild type） by spraying sulfonylurea， sulfonlyaminocarbonyl-triazolinone， imidazolinone， triazolopyrimidine， and pyrimidyl-benzoate with different concentration gradients （0， 1/4， 1/2， 1， 2 and 4 times the recommended concentration of herbicides in the field）， respectively， at 3-5 leaf stage. Based on the greenhouse and field results， the cross-resistance of SU and SCT was observed simultaneously to be the strongest， while IMI， TP and PB were lower. Results of qRT-PCR and in vitro enzyme inhibition experiments in transgenic Arabidopsis indicated that the cross-resistance of ALS herbicides was caused by the elevated expression of the mutated allele of BnAHAS1-3R and the decrease on enzyme sensitivity to herbicides. The study provides a theoretical basis for preventing and resolving the potential problems about weed resistance and drift of resistance gene that may arise from the widespread promotion of resistant varieties.

    Abstract:
    Salt stress severely inhibits the growth of plants， resulting in a decrease in crop yield. The germination period is the most sensitive phase for plants to salt damage. Therefore， establishing an accurate and convenient salt tolerance identification and evaluation system， as well as screening for salt-tolerant germplasm in Brassica napus， is crucial for enhancing the salt resistance of rapeseed varieties. In this study， the optimal concentration for salt tolerance identification during the germination period was determined to be 1.25% based on the salt damage index of 15 Brassica napus germplasms. At this concentration， the germination potential， germination rate， root length， hypocotyl length， fresh weight， and dry weight of 186 Brassica napus germplasm resources were measured， and their salt tolerance indices were calculated. Conducting comprehensive salt tolerance assessment of rapeseed germplasm resources using analysis methods such as principal component analysis and membership functions. A salt tolerance comprehensive evaluation model was established， and suitable evaluation indicators were selected. The results showed that under 1.25% NaCl stress， there was a highly significantly positive correlation among the salt tolerance index of germination potential， salt tolerance index of germination ratio， salt tolerance index of root length， salt tolerance index of hypocotyl length， salt tolerance index of fresh weight， salt tolerance index of dry weight of Brassica napus. By employing principal component analysis， these six indicators were condensed into three principal components， which collectively account for a cumulative variance of 92.809%. Based on the weights of these three principal components， D values were calculated for various germplasms， resulting in the classification of 186 germplasms into four levels and the identification of five salt-tolerant materials. Furthermore， a mathematical evaluation model for salt tolerance identification in Brassica napus was established as D=0.111+0.201X1+0.165X2+0.381X5. The salt tolerance identification criteria and salt-tolerant materials chosen in this study provide valuable support for the development of salt-tolerant rapeseed breeding.

    Abstract:
    Nitrogen is essential for the growth and development of plants. In rapeseed， higher nitrogen input increases the accumulation of biomass at vegetative growth stage， and results in elevation on seed yield and protein content，but decrease on oil content at maturity stage. Oil is the target product of rapeseed. Thus， it is of great significance to explore nitrogen-efficient varieties with higher oil production when reducing nitrogen application. In this study， biomass and oil yield were used as indicators to evaluate the nitrogen efficiency of overwintering and mature stages， followed by analyzing the relationship between traits in different periods. The comprehensive evaluation model of nitrogen efficiency at overwintering stage was established through the variation analysis， principal component analysis and membership function analysis of each biomass index under different nitrogen level at overwintering stage. The plant biomass and the fresh biomass were extracted as the comprehensive evaluation indices of nitrogen efficiency at overwintering stage. Three high-efficiency germplasms under high nitrogen condition， seven low-efficiency germplasms under both nitrogen conditions， two high-efficiency germplasms under low nitrogen condition and six high-efficiency germplasms under both nitrogen conditions were identified. At the mature stage， four high-efficiency germplasms under high nitrogen condition， six low-efficiency germplasms under both nitrogen conditions， three high-efficiency germplasms under low nitrogen condition and four high-efficiency germplasms under both nitrogen conditions were identified by oil yield as nitrogen efficiency index. Gained from the results of the two periods， two high-efficiency germplasms （Jie 65 and Zhongshuang 11） under high nitrogen condition in the two periods， one high-efficiency germplasm （6024-1） under both nitrogen conditions， one high-efficiency germplasm （Soviet rapeseed） under low nitrogen condition， three low-efficiency germplasms （Xingxuan 2， Reaina Ⅱ and Gisora） under both nitrogen conditions were identified. No correlation was detected for the traits between overwintering and maturity stage under different nitrogen treatments. These results provide insights to understand nitrogen use efficiency and further identify the key regulatory genes in rapeseed.

    Abstract:
    Abscisic acid （ABA） plays a crucial role in plant response to abiotic stress. However， the molecular mechanism by which ABA inhibits the absorption of cadmium （Cd） in Brassica napus seedlings remains to be elucidated. In this study， ‘Youfei 1’ of Brassica napus L. was used as experimental material， and application of 10 μmol/L Cd in Hoagland solution was conducted to simulate cadmium stress. The effects of adding 5 μmol/L ABA under cadmium stress condition， on photosynthetic rate， chlorophyll， carotenoid contents in leaves， cadmium content in above/below ground parts of seedlings and gene expression were analyzed. The results showed that the photosynthetic rate， transpiration rate and stomatal conductance of the leaves were significantly increased， while the contents of chlorophyll and carotenoid were decreased. The contents of cadmium in aboveground and underground tissues were significantly increased under Cd stress condition if compared with that of the control group. The application of ABA could effectively reduce the leaf transpiration rate and stomatal conductance， as well as the contents of cadmium in aboveground and underground parts， and significantly increase the contents of chlorophyll a and carotenoid. Through transcriptome sequencing to identify differentially expressed genes （DEGs）， 514 upregulated and 431 downregulated genes were found. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes （KEGG） pathway enrichment analysis indicated that DEGs were heavily enriched in pathways such as sucrose and starch metabolism， secondary metabolite biosynthesis， metabolic pathways， and the MAPK signaling pathway， etc. Gene Ontology （GO） functional enrichment revealed that DEGs were enriched in categories such as hemicellulose metabolism， oxidoreductase activity， phenolic compound metabolism， cell wall macromolecule metabolism， and system acquired resistance. The transcriptional trend of selected genes revealed by qRT-PCR is consistent with the transcriptome sequencing results. Further analysis of the differential expression of lignin-related and hemicellulose-related genes （XTH， BXL， PAL， C4H， etc.） in rapeseed leaves under Cd stress revealed that most of these genes were downregulated after abscisic acid treatment. These findings provide a reference for understanding the physiological mechanisms of ABA regulation under Cd stress and contribute to molecular breeding efforts for rapeseed.

    Abstract:
    To analyze the effects of drought treatments on physiological indexes and DNA methylation levels of Brassica Rapa， this study subjected oilseed rape Longyou 7 to three treatments， namely， normal water supply， drought stress， and rehydration after drought， followed by analyzing the physiological indexes and DNA methylation after treatments. In comparison to those under normal water supply treatment， the oilseed rape under drought stress exhibited 167.27%， 254.85%， 103.24%， and 164.64% of increase on malondialdehyde content， SOD， POD and CAT activities， respectively. Osmoregulatory substances Pro and SP were elevated up to 3.21 μg/g and 0.048 μg/mg， respectively； the relative water content of leaves decreased significantly by 53.64%. The physiological indexes decreased partially after rewatering. Compared with normal water supply treatment， the methylation level showed an increasing trend after drought， while the methylation rate after rewatering was even higher than that of drought and control， with the methylation rate reaching 20.56%. Through GO enrichment analysis， differentially methylated genes （DMGs） were enriched in biological processes， nucleus， and molecular functions. KEGG functional enrichment analysis showed that DMGs were mainly involved in the ubiquitin mediated protein hydrolysis， cytotoxicity， ABC transporter proteins， carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms， and other metabolism-related pathways. A correlation between methylation rate and physiological indicators was observed， and through integration of both GO and KEGG enrichment results， seven DMGs were revealed encoding peroxidases. The results of this study will provide a basis for unrevealing the regulatory mechanism to drought stress in rapeseed and breeding for drought tolerant new varieties.

    Abstract:
    This study aimed to identify genetic variations on the whole genome level using genome resequencing data of 13 peanut cultivars， clarify their distribution characteristic， develop and verify InDel markers， and evaluate the efficiency of InDel markers in peanut cultivar identification. A total of 313432 high-quality SNPs and 38777 high-quality InDel were detected， with an average distribution density of 123/Mb and 15.23/Mb， respectively. The InDels and SNPs were mainly distributed in intergenic regions， with a frequency of 52.35% and 60.08% of the total SNP and InDel， respectively. Primers were designed using InDel with insertion or deletion length ≥10 bp， and 3675 InDel could be used to develop InDel markers. These InDel locus were unevenly distributed on the 20 chromosomes of peanut with an average density of 1.48 /Mb. Using electronic PCR， the InDel primers amplified mainly with 1 locus and 2561 effective primers （69.69%） could amplified 3133 effective loci in the peanut reference genome. The physical map of amplification loci was drawn according to the loci position in cultivated peanut genome. Among 100 pairs of random primers， 31 pairs amplified different bands in the 4 varieties with distant relatives. The 31 InDel primer pairs amplified 62 alleles in 47 peanut cultivars （or breeding lines）， the frequency of major genes ranged from 0.51 to 0.98 with an average of 0.77， and the polymorphic information content ranged from 0.04 to 0.37， with an average of 0.24. Both cluster analysis and population structure analysis could divide the 47 peanut cultivars （breeding lines） into two groups， and the 47 materials could be distinguished by at least 7 markers， indicating that the developed InDel markers could be effectively used for the assessment of genetic diversity and variety identification of peanut. The research results enriched the molecular markers of peanut， and was beneficial for the use of InDel markers in genetic studies of peanut resource genetic diversity， variety identification， fingerprint construction.

    Abstract:
    In order to understand genetic diversity of phenotypic traits of peanut germplasm resources in high latitude and improve their comprehensive utilization efficiency， 226 accessions were examined for 19 phenotypic traits （eleven agronomic traits and eight quality traits）， followed by coefficient of variation （CV）， Shannon-weaver index（H′）， cluster analysis and so on. The CV ranged from 2.90% （oil content） to 34.07% （saccharose content）， including 13 traits showing CV over 10.00%， indicating abundant genetic variation in these traits. The H′ ranged from 1.237 （linoleic acid content） to 2.077 （pod length）. The variations on diversity were observed from germplasm types ， and abundant diversity was detected at five quality traits in the lines and eight agronomic traits in breeding varieties.The correlation analysis showed that seed length positively correlated with other agronomical traits， while oil content negatively correlated with other quality traits. Three groups were divided by cluster analysis， including group I containing 14 germplasms， which were mainly characterized by high oleic acid， and reducing sugar， soluble sugar， saccharose and total sugar content， with potential in breeding for high oleic acid varieties and fresh peanut varieties. Group Ⅱ contained 30 germplasms， with the average values of 12 phenotypic traits that were the highest among the three groups. That included number of branches with pods， height of main stem and oil content， which could be used for breeding high-oil varieties. Group Ⅲ contained 182 germplasms， showing the highest coefficient of variation at 13 traits among the three groups， such as number of branches with pods and length of first branch， and rich germplasm types， which could provide a wide range of basic germplasms for breeding high-yield varieties. Ten elite germplasms were selected by comprehensive score F-value， with potential serving as parental lines in peanut breeding in high latitude.

    Abstract:
    To expedite the process of salt-tolerant sesame breeding， this research established a precise and highly efficient method for identifying and evaluating the salt tolerance of sesame seedlings and screened extreme materials by conducting salt tolerance identification on 239 materials at the seedling stage. Through experiments on 28 varieties with considerable differences in salt tolerance， the seedlings were subjected to stress growth in NaCl solutions of different concentrations （0， 70， 140， 210， 280， and 350 mmol/L） from the seedling stage. After three weeks of treatment， growth and physiological indicators were measured to determine the optimal concentration and key indicators， based on which the salt tolerance of 239 core germplasm was identified. The results indicated that the optimal stress concentration for identifying the salt tolerance of sesame seedlings was 210 mmol/L， and the core indicators were relative plant height and relative fresh weight. Regression analysis was conducted on the D value and the salt tolerance coefficients of six traits， and the regression equation was obtained： D = -0.171+1.081X1+0.253 X2. Using this regression equation to identify the salt tolerance of 239 sesame core germplasm during the seedling stage， they were classified into five grades： high salt tolerance， salt tolerance， moderate salt tolerance， salt sensitivity， and high salt sensitivity. Among them， 5 germplasm with high salt tolerance and 42 germplasm with salt tolerance were selected. Through conducting a correlation analysis between salt tolerance identification results and germplasm sources， it was discovered that the salt tolerance of sesame varieties is associated with the degree of soil salinization in their source regions. This research provides a methodological and material foundation for the breeding of salt-tolerant sesame varieties.

    Abstract:
    Honesty （Lunaria annua L.） belongs to the Brassicaceae family and is a biennial herb with high nutritional and medicinal value， as it contains nervonic acid， and its seeds are rich in oil. In order to explore the types and contents of fatty acids during the development process of the fruit， as well as the synthesis characteristics of very-long-chain fatty acids， especially nervonic acids， this study used gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to analyze the fatty acid components and content of nervonic acids in Lunaria， Arabidopsis， Borage， and Malania fruit. The results showed that a total of 10 types of fatty acids were involved in fatty acid metabolism during the development process of the Lunaria fruit， seven detected in seeds and eight in pericarps. Most of them are long chain and very-long-chain unsaturated fatty acids. The fatty acids in seeds were mainly composed of palmitic acid， stearic acid， oleic acid， linoleic acid， linolenic acid， erucic acid and nervonic acid. The content of palmitic acid， stearic acid， linoleic acid and linolenic acid gradually decreased along with seed development. The oleic acid， erucic acid and nervonic acid gradually increased along with seed development and accumulated in large quantities in the first 25-35 days after anthesis. The pericarp was free of erucic acid and nervonic acid， but specializes in behenic acid， lignoceric acid and cerotic acid. Lunaria， Borage and Malania seeds all contain erucic acid and nervonic acid. Woody plant Malania seed has the highest content， followed by Lunaria， and Borage that has the lowest content. The content of nervonic acid in seeds of the three plants is significantly positively correlated with the content of erucic acid. This study elucidated the characteristics of fatty acid metabolism and accumulation of nervonic acid during the fruit development process of Lunaria， providing new ideas for fully utilizing the germplasm resources of Lunaria and expanding the pathways for obtaining nervonic acids.

    Abstract:
    The InDel markers have been widely used in the research fields of molecular marker-assisted breeding of fruit trees. However, there are few reports on the related studies of Chinese traditional characteristic fruit trees “Chinese bayberry”. In this study, a total of 25,831 InDels with a size distribution ranging from 1 to 50 bp were obtained through whole genome resequencing and bioinformatics analysis of 103 Chinese bayberry core germplasm. The frequency of InDel variation on different chromosomes ranged from 8,903 to 11,297bp. Among them, the frequency of InDel mutation was the highest on chromosome CM025856.1. Annotation analysis showed that 1,312 InDels were distributed in the gene exon region, and another 21,055 and 6,659 InDels were distributed in the intergenic region and intron region, respectively. Through GO annotation, the functions of the above InDels molecules mainly include binding and catalytic activity. Biological processes mainly involve cellular processes and metabolic processes. KEGG pathway analysis showed that the function of InDels gene region was mainly include secondary metabolism, carbon metabolism and nucleocytoplasmic transport. The results of genome-wide association analysis were used to obtain 20 InDels that were significantly associated with riping-stage traits of Chinese bayberry fruits. Their functional annotations mainly involved mitochondria, plastid structural genes, riboside triphosphate hydrolase and cytokinin signaling proteins. Further verification and analysis screened out the InDel EP-18 labeled Chinese bayberry fruit maturity traits identification accuracy was higher, up to 89.25%; Through gene prediction results, it was found that this locus annotation was an Early nodulin family gene. In conclusion, InDel EP-18 markers obtained in this study will provide an important theoretical basis for molecular assisted breeding of Chinese bayberry.

    Abstract: In order to explore the genetic diversity of apricot leaf morphology, and to facilitate the collection of apricot germplasm resources and variety identification. In this study, the comparative analyses were carried out by using various methods, such as descriptive statistics, principal component analysis and cluster analysis. The results showed the coefficients of variation (cv) of the 13 graded traits were all above 20%, and the three leaf traits of leaf tip length, leaf margin serration depth, and position of the widest part of the leaf blade differed greatly, which can be used as traits to distinguish leaf morphology of different apricot varieties. The magnitude of variation for the 15 quantitative traits ranged from 4.16% to 29.5%, which showed that the degree of leaf variation among apricot varieties was high, and there were a variety of types and rich genetic diversity among apricot varietal resources. Through correlation analysis, it was found that there was a highly significant positive correlation between four traits: leaf blade roundness, leaf blade rectangularity, leaf apex angle and leaf base angle; leaf base shape was highly significantly and positively correlated with leaf base angle with a correlation coefficient of 0.92, and highly significant negatively correlated with leaf length-to-width ratio; and leaf roundness was significantly negatively correlated with leaf tip length, which indicated that tip length of leaf to a certain extent could reflect the leaf shape. Through principal component analysis, the 15 quantitative traits were divided into four composite factors, and the cumulative contribution rate reached more than 85.04%. The results showed that the first principal component consisted of five traits, including leaf area, leaf circumference, leaf length, leaf width, and petiole length, which mainly reflected the traits related to the size of the leaf blade of the apricot germplasm resources; the second principal component reflected the traits related to the color of the leaf blade; and the third and the fourth principal components reflected the traits related to leaf blade shape and leaf blade serration ratio, respectively. The four dominant factors of leaf size, leaf color, leaf shape and average serration height can be used as the main phenotypic indexes for classification of apricot germplasm resources. Apricot germplasm resources were classified into 8 taxa based on cluster analysis. Taxon Ⅰ consisted of only 2 germplasm, Zao Dahuang and Chaoxianxing, which were in the large-leaved-cuneate category; Taxon Ⅱ and Ⅲ both consisted of 1 material, which was Huanna and Zhuolumuguxing, respectively; Taxon Ⅳ consisted of 18 germplasm, which were in the small-leaved-deep-green category; Taxon Ⅴ consisted of 1 Central Asian germplasm, which was in the Stella category; Taxon Ⅵ consisted of 1 material, which was in the large-leaved-cardinal category; Taxon VII consisted of 12 germplasm, which were in the large-leaved-truncate category; Taxon VIII was further classified into 6 subgroups. Taxon VII consists of 12 germplasm, which is large-leaved-truncate; Taxon VIII is further divided into six subgroups. In this study, based on the application of image recognition technology, we were able to rapidly evaluate the leaf morphology of apricot varieties and resources, and increase the length of the leaf tip, the depth of the leaf margin serration, and the position of the widest part of the leaf . These three leaf grading traits can be used as the basis for identifying different apricot varieties, which will be of certain reference value for the future evaluation of leaf morphology of China""s apricot germplasm resources and varietal identification.

    Abstract:
    Wheat powdery mildew is a fungal disease that impacts severely on production of wheat. Identification of wheat disease-resistant germplasm and exploiting of wheat powdery mildew resistance gene from existing resources is required for sustainable improvement in disease resistance. In this study, a local wheat variety Siyuehuang with resistance to powdery mildew was identified from wheat germplasm resources in Shanxi Province. The genetic populations of Siyuehuang crossed with the powdery mildew susceptible cultivars Jinmai47 was developed to identify and analyze by artificial inoculation of single species at seedling stage. The resistance gene carried from Siyuehuang was mapped by BSA(bulked segregant analysis) and 90K SNP(single nucleotide polymorphism) chip scanning. The results showed that the resistance of Siyuehuang to wheat powdery mildew was controlled by a pair of dominant nuclear genes, and the inheritance pattern was in accordance with Mendelian inheritance law, temporarily named PmSYH. SNP microarray results showed that polymorphic SNP markers were mainly concentrated in the 110 ~ 140 Mb segment of the short arm of wheat chromosome 7D. SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats) molecular markers were developed in this genomic section, and linkage screening was performed by using resistant subpopulation and susceptible subpopulation. Six SSR markers linked to PmSYH were obtained, and the F2 population of Jinmai 47 / Siyuehuang was genotyped using these 6 SSR markers. Finally, the Powdery mildew Resistant gene PmSYH was mapped in the physical section 132.57 Mb ~ 137.47 Mb on the short arm of wheat chromosome 7D. The flanking marker were Sxau7DS-37 and Sxau7DS-48 with genetic distances 1.8cM and 3.1cM, respectively. Compared with other genes on wheat chromosome 7D, PmSYH is a new powdery mildew resistant gene. This study enriched wheat powdery mildew resistance gene resources, which has a certain value for the improvement of wheat powdery mildew in the northern winter wheat region.

    Abstract:
    Lodging is the main problem affecting the common buckwheat production and quality in central Gansu. In this study, 76 common buckwheat germplasm resources from domestic and abroad were used as the test materials. Genetic diversity of 23 phenotypic traits associating to lodging resistance was calculated based on the Shannon-Wiener information diversity index. The lodging resistance of common buckwheat germplasms were comprehensively evaluated using the correlation analysis, principal component analysis, regression analysis，cluster analysis and stepwise discriminate analysis. 76 common buckwheat germplasm materials exhibited high genetic diversity. The diversity index distribution of different traits ranged from 2.349 to 4.331, with the diversity index of number of main stem branches being the smallest and that of the second inter-node length being the largest. The results of the correlation analysis showed that 23 characters existed in varying degrees of correlation. The results of the principal component analysis showed that the first five principal components explained 81.421% of information quantity of 23 phenotypic traits. D value of common buckwheat germplasm materials was calculated using the membership function method. The average D value was found to be 0.469, with Yuntianqiao 1 having the lowest D value (0.200) and TQ10-07 having the highest D value (0.819). Through stepwise regression, a regression equation was established with 8 traits (plant height, stem height of center gravity, the first inter-node length and wall thickness, the second inter-node length, number of main stem branches, bending degree and stem resistance) as independent variables. The equation could be used for a comprehensive evaluation of the Lodging Resistance of common buckwheat germplasm materials. Based on D value clustering, 76 materials were divided into four groups. The result of stepwise discriminant analysis showed that 5 germplasm materials were incorrectly discriminated and the identification rate was only 6.58%，which means that the result of cluster analysis is accurate and reliable. 3 materials in classⅠexhibited high lodging resistance and high D value, which could be used as parent materials for material innovation and breeding. This study shows that using multivariate statistical analysis is a feasible approach to comprehensively evaluate lodging resistance of common buckwheat germplasm, which become valuable in selection of elite germplasm resources in breeding for the lodging resistance hybrids in central Gansu.

    Abstract:
    1307 local edible bean germplasm resources in Jiangxi were investigated and analyzed. The edible bean germplasm resources in Jiangxi were distributed in 89 counties ( cities and districts ) of 11 prefecture-level cities, among which Shangrao City, Yichun City, Ganzhou City, Jiujiang City, Ji ""an City and Fuzhou City had the largest number of resources. The distribution quantity of edible bean resources in Jiangxi decreased with the increase of altitude. he edible bean germplasm resources in Jiangxi Province cover 7 genera and 12 species. The cowpea resources have strong ecological adaptability, wide distribution area and the largest number. In addition to cowpea, the resources of mung bean, bean and adzuki bean are abundant in the low altitude areas of Jiangxi Province, and the resources of common bean and Lima bean are abundant in the middle and high altitude areas. The higher diversity index of edible beans in various cities is concentrated in the altitude of 0 ~ 500m ; cowpea, mung bean, rice bean and pea resources were abundant in Shangrao City, Yichun City, Jiujiang City, Ji ""an City and Pingxiang City. Cowpea and mung bean resources were abundant in Yingtan City, Xinyu City, Jingdezhen City and Nanchang City. Cowpea, bean and pea resources were abundant in Ganzhou City. Cowpea, rice bean and common bean resources were abundant in Fuzhou City. hrough phenotypic identification, the qualitative and quantitative traits of 449 cowpea resources with the largest number were analyzed. The diversity indexes of the eight quality traits were in the order of grain color > tender pod color > flower color > leaf shape > pod shape > mature pod color > grain shape > growth habit. The variation coefficients of pod length and 100-seed weight were the largest in quantitative traits, which had great potential for improvement. According to the comprehensive performance of agronomic traits, quality, resistance and yield, 30 excellent germplasm resources of different crop species were selected.

    Abstract:
    The photoperiod sensitivity of soybean limits the popularization of excellent soybean varieties for planting. In this study, we created new soybean varieties with early maturity and stable yield by reducing the sensitivity of soybean to photoperiod and expanding the planting range of good varieties. Three soybean GmphyA2 pure mutants were obtained using CRISPR/Cas9 technology. The created gmphya2 mutants encodes a truncated protein without PHY structural domain due to a base deletion resulting in a code-shift mutation. Comparisons were made to characterize the fertility, plant size, and yield of the gmphya2 mutant and the WT. The results showed that because of significantly increased expression of GmFT2a and GmFT5a during the pre-flowering period, the gmphya2 mutant flowered 5-6 days earlier and matured 6-11 days earlier relative to the WT. Although the fertility period was shortened, the single grain weight was not significantly different from that of the WT due to a significant increase in both the effective number of branches and the number of grains per plant in the gmphya2 mutant. These results indicate that the editing of GmphyA2 usingCRISPR/Cas9 technology has created a new soybean germplasm with unchanged yield per plant with shortened fertility period, which provides a new genetic resource for breeding for early maturity and high yield.

    Abstract:
    The salt tolerance of mung bean at germination stage is an important index for its utilization in saline-alkali soil. Identification of germplasm with high salt tolerance at germination stage can improve the utilization rate of salinization land. In the present study, based the pre-experiment, we selected 1.2% NaCl as the best solution for identification of 769 mung bean accessions at their germination stage, by measuring germination rate(GR), germination potential(GP), germination index(GI), relative salt damage rate and other indexes through hydroponic experiments. The results showed that the average germination rate of mung bean germplasm under 1.2% NaCl salt stress was 52.9%. Among different regions, the average germination rate of resouces from East Asia is the highest (66.5%), while it is the highest from Northeast China (57.4%). The degree of variation in germination potential is the highest among all indexes under salt stress (CV: 58.0%), particularly the germplasm from the North China region, its coefficient of variation reached 63.2%. In terms of seed coat traits, the salt tolerance of brown-grained germplasm was notably weaker than that of other colored seeds, while the germplasm with luster seed coat had significantly greater tolerance than the dull-surfaced resources. The analysis revealed a significant correlation between the 100-seed weight and their salt tolerance, with germplasm weighing less than 3 g showing a marked decrease in salt tolerance. This study offer data support for the selection of salt-tolerant germplasm and variety breeding in mung bean.

    Abstract:
    The phenotypic diversity analysis and comprehensive evaluation of 142 germplasms of Erythropalum scandens were carried out by means of coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, principal component analysis and cluster analysis, which laid a foundation for the breeding of E. scandens in Guangxi. The survey found that Chongzuo City and Baise City had more wild germplasm resources, followed by Nanning City, and a small number of wild germplasm resources of E. scandens were found in Hechi City, Wuzhou City, Yulin City, Fangchenggang City, Liuzhou City, Beiliu City, Pingguo City and Pingxiang City. The wild germplasm mainly distributed in limestone hills, slopes, mountains, sparse forests, dense forests, with an altitude of 140-1001 m. The statistical results showed that the coefficient of variation of 11 phenotypic traits was between 2.76% and 18.75% of 142 germplasms, indicating that the genetic difference of germplasm resources in Guangxi was large. Correlation analysis showed that leaf length was significantly correlated with leaf width, length of the second branch internode, main stem diameter, fruit longitudinal diameter and leaf thickness. Leaf width was significantly correlated with leaf thickness and fruit longitudinal diameter. Petiole length was significantly correlated with the second branch diameter, the second branch internode length and main stem diameter. Altitude was significantly positively correlated with leaf thickness, but significantly negatively correlated with leaf length, leaf width and second-order branch internode length. The results of cluster analysis showed that 142 germplasm materials could be divided into 4 categories when the Euclidean distance was 4.5, The first, second, third and fourth categories contained 49, 54, 27 and 12 germplasms, respectively. Principal component analysis showed that the cumulative contribution rate of the five principal components was 68.25%. Principal component 1 and principal component 2 mainly reflected leaf and branch related indicators, while principal component 3, principal component 4 and principal component 5 mainly reflected fruit related indicators. The comprehensive evaluation results showed that the top ten germplasms were all from Chongzuo City, including 5 cultivated germplasms and 5 wild germplasms, which could provide excellent parents for the breeding and improvement of new varieties of E. scandens.

    Abstract:
    Rice waterlogging direct seeding can not only avoid the labor cost of raising seedlings, transplanting seedlings, and drainage, but also effectively prevent the weeds, birds and rats, therefore, has broad application prospects. However, because of the low seedling rate under waterlogged conditions, most of the rice cultivars are not suitable for waterlogging direct seeding. Lack of variety seriously limited the development and popularization of waterlogging direct seeding technology. The identification and screening of rice germplasm resources with good waterlogged seedling characteristics is an important foundation for breeding new varieties of waterlogging direct seeding rice. This study utilized domestic and foreign rice germplasm materials preserved in the Mid-term Crop Germplasm Resource Bank of Hubei Province, measured the indicators of waterlogged seedling rate, germinative force, low-oxygen germination rate, low-oxygen relative germination rate, coleoptile length, low-oxygen coleoptile length, and low-oxygen relative coleoptile length, and identified and screened out 17 rice germplasm with waterlogged seedling rates of over 50%. Correlation analysis showed that there were significant positive correlations between waterlogged seedling rate and indicators including germinative force, low-oxygen germination rate, coleoptile length, low-oxygen coleoptile length, and low-oxygen relative coleoptile length, among which the correlation index between waterlogged seedling rate and low-oxygen coleoptile length was the highest. Thus, the ow-oxygen coleoptile length could be used as an important index to identify and evaluate the waterlogged seedlings characteristics. By detecting the OsGF14h haplotype attribute of 254 rice germplasm resources, corresponding clues for study on regulation genes of waterlogged seedling characteristics were provided. This study has certain reference value for improving the screening and identification efficiency of waterlogging tolerant rice germplasm resources, exploring the regulatory genes of waterlogged seedling characteristics, and cultivating new varieties of waterlogging direct seeding rice.

    Abstract:
    Potato is the world"s fourth largest staple crop with high yield potential. To meet the future challenges of food security, selection of early-maturing and high-yielding potato varieties with stable disease resistance is needed. In this study, in order to assist the research of new potato variety selection and breeding, and to clarify the current status of new potato varieties in China, 227 potato selection and breeding literatures in the China Knowledge Network (CNKI) database were used as research objects, and a knowledge map was constructed by using GraphRAG and Qwen2-70B-instruct and visualized by using Gephi. Based on the constructed knowledge graph, the genealogy, resistance and fertility period of new potato varieties selected and bred in China in recent years were analyzed, and the analysis results indicated that more parents used in the selection and breeding of new potato varieties in recent years were Jizhangyan No. 8, Svante, Longyan No. 7, Feiuretta, and Early Large White, etc. Most of the new potato varieties were resistant to late blight, and most of them were of medium-late to late-maturity and late-ripening fertility. In summary, this study explored the realization path of using a large language model to rapidly construct a knowledge graph for potato new variety selection and breeding research, and analyzed 227 potatoes to provide a reference for the future discovery and utilization of potato germplasm resources.

    Abstract:
    Tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) is an annual herbaceous plant of Fagopyrum in Polygonaceae, which is a high-quality crop that is homologous of medicine and food. The occurrence of Fagopyrum damping-off has seriously affected the promotion and development of Tartary buckwheat planting.This study conducted transcriptome analysis on Fagopyrum tataricum treated with jasmonic acid or salicylic acid, revealing that the expression pattern of the aspartic protease gene FtAPDSLX1 is induced by jasmonic acid or salicylic acid. Further analysis of FtAPDSLX1 expression levels in Fagopyrum tataricum with different resistance degrees revealed a significantly higher expression level of FtAPDSLX1 in Fagopyrum tataricum resistant to Rhizoctonia solanicompared than in susceptible materials. Using the representative variety of Fagopyrum tataricum, Chuanqiao No. 1, the FtAPDSLX1 gene was cloned. Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the coding sequence of the FtAPDSLX1 gene contains 1143 base pairs, encoding the protein consisting of 380 amino acids，while its promoter harbors multiple cis-elements associated with disease resistance. Examination of FtAPDSLX1 expression patterns unveiled its upregulation in Tartary buckwheat seedlings upon Rhizoctonia solaniand invasion, exhibiting pronounced tissue specificity. Phenotypic analysis of disease resistance in transgenic Arabidopsis lines harboring the FtAPDSLX1 gene underscored its role in enhancing resistance against Rhizoctonia solaniand .Furthermore, under pathogen stress, FtAPDSLX1 expression substantially increased in transgenic Arabidopsis, concomitant with heightened enzymatic activities of SOD and POD. These findings suggest that FtAPDSLX1 may participate in the defense mechanism against Rhizoctonia solaniin Fagopyrum tataricum. The functional validation and related research of FtAPDSLX1 provide a foundation for unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying Fagopyrum tataricum"s resistance to Rhizoctonia solaniand for screening disease-resistant germplasm resources.

    Abstract:
    Rhododendron is one of the top ten Chinese flowers, with high ornamental values, and is deeply loved by people. The genus Rhododendron includes many species, with frequent natural hybridization between species and a high degree of horticultural development in some species. However, the inconsistency in cultivar naming has somewhat hindered the exchange of varieties between countries and regions. SSR markers have advantages in germplasm identification, genetic diversity analysis, and molecular marker-assisted breeding. Here, we reviewed the progress on SSR markers in the genus Rhododendron over the past 20 years, including the development methods of SSR markers in the genus, the number of markers（about 520 pairs for 5 subgenera）, the detection of primer versatility, and their application in species conservation, authenticity identification of hybrids, and trait-marker association analysis. Finally, we discussed the prospects for future applications of SSR markers on Rhododendrons, hoping this would be helpful in the conservation and genetic breeding of Rhododendron plants.

    Abstract:
    The root system is an important part of rice plant and plays an important role in plant fixation, water and nutrient acquisition. In this study, it was found that the root system of oself3-1 mutant became significantly shorter, the mutant was crossed with wild type to construct F2 isolated population, and genetic analysis showed that the mutant trait was regulated by recessive single gene. By mapping cloning, OsELF3-1 was located in a 50.9 kb interval of chromosome 6, in which there were four open reading frames (ORFs), sequence comparison revealed that the mutant had 7 bases missing on the second exon of ORF4 (OsELF3-1), causes the gene to frameshift and terminate prematurely, and OsELF3-1 was presumed to be the target gene. The root system of CRISPR/Cas9 mutant with OsELF3-1 was significantly shorter than that of wild type, which verified that OsELF3-1 was involved in regulating root length. In order to further clarify the regulatory network of OsELF3-1, the interacting protein OsARID3 of OsELF3-1 was screened by yeast two-hybridization, OsARID3 has an ARID functional domain, an α-crystallin/Hsp_domain, a SHSP domain, and a potassium dependent sodium/calcium ion exchange domain. Investigation of OsARID3-RNAi mutants showed that their roots were significantly shorter than those of the wild type, OsARID3 may be involved in the regulation of root length. Natural variation of OsARID3 was analyzed by 3 K sequencing data and 15 haplotypes were found, and there was obvious differentiation between indica and japonica, japonica rice mainly belonged to haplotypes I, IV and VI. In summary, this study found that OsELF3-1 and OsARID3 interact to regulate rice roots, providing theoretical basis and germplasm resources for further analysis of rice root growth and development regulation network.

    Abstract:
    Wild Adzuki bean and sibling species serve as critical genetic resources, exhibiting strong resistance to diseases and pests, as well as high stress tolerance, making them valuable for breeding programs. However, due to the rapid urbanization and the impact of human activities, these resources are facing severe challenges and are on the brink of extinction. Therefore, there is an urgent need for systematic investigation rescue collection, and identification of these wild resources. The Liaoning region boasts a rich diversity of wild adzuki bean species and their relatives, but their population numbers, distribution patterns, and resource characteristics remain unclear. Therefore, systematic investigation and rescue collection of wild adzuki bean and sibling species are urgently needed in Liaoning province as a case study. This study conducted surveys and collections of wild adzuki bean and sibling species across 36 districts (counties) in 14 cities in Liaoning Province, resulting in a total of 262 accessions collected. The survey results indicate that wild adzuki bean are primarily distributed in central and eastern Liaoning, particularly in the coastal areas of eastern Liaoning, while adzuki bean sibling species are mainly found in western Liaoning. In addition, indoor artificial inoculation tests were conducted to evaluate the bruchid resistance of the collected wild adzuki bean and sibling species, identifying two highly resistant and one resistant wild adzuki bean accessions. The findings of this study provide important evidence for the conservation and utilization of rare and endangered resources of wild adzuki bean and sibling species in China, while also offering valuable germplasm resources for breeding adzuki bean resistant to bean weevils.

    Abstract:
    Blueberries are renowned worldwide for their unique nutritional and health benefits. Currently, blueberries are extensively cultivated globally, including in major regions such as North America, South America, Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean. However, as cultivation time extends, blueberry varieties in different countries and regions are facing challenges such as insufficient stress resistance, poor adaptability, and mismatched chilling requirements. These issues partly stem from excessive inbreeding, leading to narrow genetic diversity and inbreeding depression, which restrict the production of high-quality fresh blueberries and the expansion of cultivation areas. Consequently, countries have initiated hybrid breeding programs of a certain scale based on their local climate and market demands. Nevertheless, current blueberry breeding methods remain confined to traditional hybridization techniques, which are time-consuming, resource-intensive, and lack the application of modern biotechnological breeding approaches. This article aims to introduce the countries and their varietal development processes involved in global blueberry breeding, while summarizing and analyzing the breeding trends of six major types of blueberries. Furthermore, it discusses the modern biotechnological approaches applied in current global blueberry breeding and outlines future breeding goals. It is hoped that these insights will provide a theoretical basis for blueberry breeding efforts in our country.

    Abstract:
    As an important tool for clarifying the mechanism of chlorophyll biosynthesis and chloroplast development in plants, leaf color mutants are of great significance for exploring the process of plant growth and development. In this study, the green leaf tomato material ""CR11A"" and the light yellow leaf tomato material ""CH09-805"" were used as parental materials to constrct the genetic population and clarify the inheritance pattern. The chloroplast ultrastructure were observed and chlorophyll content were determined in leaf with different colors. BSA-Seq and molecular marker screening were used to map the leaf color gene and analyze the candidate genes. The results showed that the leaves of F1 plants were green, and segregation ratio of 12 (green):3 (light yellow):1 (golden yellow) were observed in the leaves of F2 population, indicating that the tomato leaf color was controlled by two pairs of genes with a dominant epistasis effect. Through chloroplast ultrastructure observation and chlorophyll content determination, it was found that the chloroplast ultrastructure of the golden leaves was severely damaged, and the chlorophyll content of golden leaves was significantly lower than that of light-yellow and green leaves. The tomato leaf color gene Sllc1 was mapped to a physical distance of 114.53 kb in chromosome 7 using BSA-Seq and molecular marker screening, and a total of 13 genes were included in the interval. Combined with the information of gene annoation and variation, the Solyc07g053630 and Solyc07g053640 were predicted as the candidate genes of Sllc1. The results of this study obtained the candidate gene for , which would lay an important material foundation and genetic resources for the analysis of the molecular mechanism of tomato leaf color formation.

    Abstract:
    Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) is a high-value economic crop used in papermaking, healthcare, textiles, and other fields. Developing new germplasm of industrial hemp is essential for breeding, innovative germplasm resources, and functional genomic research. In this study, a mutant library of ZHONGDAMAZI 4 (ZD4) was constructed using ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS). By setting up gradients of eight concentrations of EMS, it was determined that the 0.8% EMS treatment concentration had the best mutagenic effect on ZD4. After mutagenizing 2000 seeds of ZD4, a total of 644 M1 seedlings emerged, with an emergence rate of 32.2%. Among them, 90 individual plants exhibited variations in leaf color, inflorescence, and plant height, with a mutation rate of 13.98%. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to determine the cannabidiol (CBD) content of the M1 plants, resulting in the identification of 3 high-CBD and 2 low-CBD mutants. Sequencing revealed that the DNA sequences as well as the promoter regions of five key cannabinoid biosynthetic enzyme genes (CsPT4, CsOAC1, CsOLS1, CsCBDAS, and CsTHCA) in the CBD content mutants remained unchanged. However, the expression levels of these five enzymes showed significant changes compared to the control. It is inferred that EMS treatment led to mutations in regulatory genes affecting the CBD metabolic pathway in mutants, thereby regulating the expression of enzymes, ultimately resulting in significant changes in CBD content. This study provides excellent germplasm resources for industrial hemp breeding through the construction of an EMS mutant library and lays a solid foundation for further elucidating the regulatory mechanisms of cannabinoid biosynthesis and related genes.

    Abstract:
    Abstract: Rice germplasm resources are important foundation for rice genetic improvement and new variety breeding. The study of genetic diversity of rice germplasm resources plays an important role in broadening the genetic background of rice. In this study, genetic diversity analysis was conducted on 20 important agronomic traits of 1775 rice germplasm resources from 11 provinces (cities) using multiple analysis methods. The results showed that: The coefficient of variation (CV) of agronomic traits varied greatly, with a ranging from 4.42% (grain thickness) to 89.75% (number of empty grains), There was abundant genetic variation in empty grain number; The range of genetic diversity index (H") was 1.585(number of empty grains) to 2.069(heading date), and the heading stage had rich diversity. Through the analysis of agronomic characters of germplasm from 11 provinces (cities), There was rich diversity in 7 characters such as panicle per plant and spikelets per panicle from Jilin. There were 4 characters such as First heading date, panicle length and so on. Them with rich diversity from Yunnan. While heading stage and other 2 characters were rich from Heilongjiang. The 1775 germplasms included lines, landrace and advanced cultivar. The 11 characters were bundant such as leaf length and plant height in landrace, and the 9 characters were abundant such as First heading date and panicle per plant of advanced cultivar. Genetic diversity analysis of different geographical sources and germplasm types can provide useful information for the selection of parental material and thus help in planning breeding strategies. The correlation analysis showed that 149 correlation coefficients reached the very significant level (P < 0.01), among which 3 growth stage traits, such as head stage, had higher correlation with other agronomic traits. Principal component analysis found that the cumulative contribution rate of the first 6 principal components reached 79.309%, and the contribution rate was the largest in the traits related to growth period. The 1775 rice germplasm can be divided into three groups at the Euclidean genetic distance of 0.6, among which the germplasm was group I from three provinces in Northeast China, Beijing and Hangzhou.10 traits were rich, including the growth stage traits, the number of tillers related to yield and the panicle per plant. It can provide excellent germplasm for rice germplasm resource innovation and new variety breeding in the future. Group II only included Ningxia, indicating that germplasm resources in Ningxia were far from germplasm resources in other provinces (cities). Therefore, the utilization rate of those germplasms should be increased to broaden the genetic basis of rice germplasm resources. Group III includes Hebei, Shandong, Yunnan, Jiangsu and Xinjiang, The H " of grain length is the largest among the three groups, indicating that the grain length is rich in the germplasms, which can provide rich germplasm for rice quality breeding in the future.

    Abstract:
    Guava variants are abundant and fruit texture varies considerably between varieties. The softening degree of fruit determines its edible taste, transportation, storage and shelf life and other commodity values. In order to explore the regulatory genes affecting the texture softening of guava fruit, transcriptomic sequencing was performed on two cultivars,Fenhongmi(crisp)and Xigua No.2(soft)at the firm ripening stage and soft ripening stage. The results showed that the number of differentially expressed genes was the highest among two varieties at soft maturity stage. GO annotation showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in molecular functions such as binding activity and catalytic activity, and KEGG metabolic pathway analysis showed that differentially expressed genes were mainly enriched in photosynthesis, photosynthetic antenna protein, galactose metabolism and plant hormone signal transduction pathways. The difference of texture of the two varieties in soft ripening stage is closely related to the regulation of cell wall metabolism, lignin biosynthesis pathway, plant hormone metabolism genes and transcription factors. The up-regulated expression of J3R85008159-PG and J3R85010291-XTH is an important factor promoting the softening of guava. J3R85010291-TCH4 may regulate fruit softening by reducing the mechanical strength of cell wall. Down-regulated expression of lignin synthesis pathway genes (J3R8506005-CAD, J3R8502863-POD, J3R8507303-POD, J3R8500836-LAC and J3R8507803-LAC) delayed lignin accumulation and promoted fruit softening. ABA pathway regulatory genes (PYL and SNRK2), ethylene pathway regulatory genes (ETR/ ERS, EBF1/2, EIN3) and related transcription factors (MYB, NAC, ERF, BHLH and WRKY) may synergistic regulate the expression of cell wall metabolic genes and thus affect the softening process of guava.

    Abstract:
    Saline-alkaline stress is a critical limiting factor for high-yield and stable production of rice. Elucidating the effects of different Saline-alkali soils on rice panicle morphology, and screening saline-alkali-tolerant rice germplasm accessions are of great significance to the breeding of saline-alkali tolerant rice varieties. In the present study, normal paddy soil was used as control (CK), with two different types of saline-alkali soil being used as experimental treatments. Treatment I focused on salt stress, while treatment II focused on alkali stress. A total of 164 japonica rice germplasm were examined for 11 panicle traits. Then, multivariate statistical methods, such as correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA), linear regression analysis (LRA) and path analysis were used to comprehensively evaluated the panicle traits of these japonica rice germplasm under different saline and alkaline adversities. The results indicated that under the two saline-alkali treatments, spike length (SL), grain number per panicle (GNP), grain density (GD), grain number of primary branch (GNPB), primary branch number (PBN), grain number of secondary branch (GNSB), and secondary branch number (SBN), were significantly reduced compared to CK. Compared with treatment II, Treatment I showed significantly increased in SL, GNP, secondary branch grain density (SBGD), GNSB, and SBN. Under different treatment conditions, variations in the correlation among 11 panicle traits were noted. Particularly, there was a significant positive correlation (p<0.01) between the thousand grain weight (TGW) and seed setting rate (SSR) under the two saline-alkali conditions, while there was no significant correlation under CK condition. PCA with 11 evaluation index from CK, treatment I and treatment II suggested three major components, with cumulative contribution rate of 80.4%, 86.4% and 83.9%, respectively. Using LRA and PCA, GNP, GD, GNPB and PBN were selected as the key indexes for evaluating panicle morphology of japonica rice under saline-alkali condition. Five saline-alkali-tolerant japonica rice accessions, namely Liaogeng 1201, Pinggeng 8, Fengdao 508, Song 820, and Ninghui 1, identified through a comprehensive evaluation value D of panicle traits can be used as valuable assets for rice-plant-architecture breeding under intricate saline-alkali environments.

    Abstract:
    Brassinosteroids (BR) are class of important hormones in plants, which play a role in regulating plant growth and development and resisting various environmental stresses. BZR transcription factors are key regulatory factors in the BR signaling pathway and transmit BRs signals by regulating the expression of target genes. To further study the biological characteristics and functions of BZR genes in sorghum, this study identified 10 BZR genes from the sorghum genome, which were divided into four groups. The tissue-specific expression analysis showed that SbBZR3, SbBZR4, and SbBZR10 are highly expressed in multiple tissues as well as have high expression levels during the grain development process. Meanwhile, based on the resequencing results and grain phenotype data of 340 sorghum germplasm resources, the superior alleles of SbBZRs were identified. The results showed that the superior alleles SbBZR3-SNP458 (T) was significantly associated with grain length, and SbBZR10-SNP660 (A) was significantly associated with grain length, grain width and 1000-grain weight. Both SbBZR3-SNP458 (T) and SbBZR10-SNP660 (A) were artificially selected during the evolutionary process. This study not only lays a foundation for revealing the action mechanism of BZR genes in sorghum, but also provides a reference for using excellent alleles to improve grain size and promote the creation of new sorghum seeds with high yield.

    Abstract:
    Prunus mume Siebold & Zucc. has many varieties and diverse floral scent types, among which cinnamyl alcohol and cinnamyl acetate are unique floral scent components in pink varieties of P. mume. In plants, cinnamaldehyde is reduced to cinnamyl alcohol under the catalysis of cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD), which in turn generates cinnamyl acetate under the catalysis of acetyltransferase. Therefore, cinnamyl alcohol is not only an important floral scent component in P. mume, but also an important precursor for the synthesis of cinnamyl acetate. This study identified 56 PmCADs homologous genes based on the second-generation genome of P. mume. It was found that the PmCADs family can be divided into five subgroups, and the protein conserved motif composition of subgroups I, II, and III is relatively similar, with significant differences from subgroups IV and V suggesting potential functional differentiation between them. Chromosome fragment replication and tandem replication were identified as two forms of PmCADs replication in genome evolution. It was found that the promoter regions of PmCADs genes extensively contained abscisic acid, methyl jasmonate, salicylic acid responsive elements, and meristem related elements suggesting that the PmCADs genes are mainly involved in the growth, development, and stress response of P. mume. Phylogenetic analysis of CAD from P. mume and other species suggested that the three PmCADs genes located in subgroup III may be involved in the floral scent synthesis in P. mume. Heat map analysis of PmCADs genes in different tissues and organs indicated that the three PmCADs were all expressed in flowers. Furthermore, analysis of relative gene expression revealed that the expression patterns of the 3 candidate PmCADs genes varied at different stages of flowering, with higher expression levels after the flowers bloom. The in vitro enzyme activity analysis confirmed that all three PmCADs have cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase activity, indicating that they jointly participate in the synthesis of cinnamyl alcohol, an important floral scent component of P. mume. Subcellular localization analysis revealed differences in their distribution within the cell, suggesting that they may play roles in different parts of the cell. This study revealed the evolution and functional differentiation of the PmCADs genes in P. mume, laying theoretical foundations for the synthesis of important floral scent components and providing theoretical bases for floral fragrance molecular breeding in P. mume.

    Abstract:
    To analyze the effects of drought treatments on physiological indexes and DNA methylation levels of winter Brassica Rapa, this study subjected cabbage-type oilseed rape to three treatments, namely, normal water supply, drought stress, and rehydration after drought, and analyzed the changes in the physiological indexes of oilseed rape and the DNA methylation levels of oilseed rape after the different treatments. The results showed that when cabbage-type oilseed rape was subjected to drought stress, malondialdehyde content, antioxidant enzyme activity and osmoregulatory substances increased by 167.27%、254.85%、103.24%、164.64%、49.2% and 37.79%, respectively, and osmoregulatory substances increased by 3.21μg·g-1FW, 0.048 μ g·mg-1FW, and the relative water content of leaves decreased significantly by 53.64%. The physiological indexes were significantly recovered after rewatering; the methylation level of oilseed rape showed an increasing trend after drought, and the methylation rate after rewatering was higher than that of drought and control, with the methylation rate reaching 20.56%.The GO enrichment results showed that the differentially methylated genes were enriched in the biological process, binding and molecular function.KEGG functional enrichment analysis showed that the differentially methylated genes were mainly involved in the ubiquitin mediated protein hydrolysis, cytotoxicity , ABC transporter proteins, carbon fixation in photosynthetic organisms, and other metabolism-related pathways. There was a correlation between methylation rate and physiological indicators, and combined with the GO and KEGG enrichment results, seven differentially methylated genes encoded peroxidases.

    Abstract:
    Plant height is one of the key factors determining yield and stability in maize. This research aims to increase the individual yield of maize by optimizing the plant architecture. We have discovered a dwarf mutant, d309, in the mutagenized material of the maize variety B73, which was stably inherited through continuous selfing. Genetic analysis revealed that the phenotype of the d309 mutant is controlled by a single recessive gene. Compared to the B73 inbred line, the d309 mutant exhibited a significantly reduced plant height and shortened internodes. Cytological studies indicated that the cell length between the 5th and 6th internodes of the d309 mutant was significantly reduced. By constructing an F2 population from the cross of d309 and PH6WC and employing BSR-seq technology, we preliminarily mapped the mutation site to an interval of 3.47-17.47 Mb on chromosome 3. Further gene mapping localized the mutation site between two molecular markers, 5-4 and 5-7, within which there is only one open reading frame encoding gibberellin 3-oxidases (GA3ox, Zm00001d039634), which has been reported as Dwarf1. Sequencing results showed that the d309 mutant has a single nucleotide mutation in the CDS region of the Zm00001d039634 gene, leading to an amino acid sequence change. Protein structure prediction suggested that the mutation site is located within the Fe(II)2OGD (iron 2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase) domain. Exogenous application of gibberellin restored the dwarf phenotype of the d309 mutant, confirming it as a gibberellin synthesis-deficient mutant. Additionally, the d309 mutant differs from the reported Dwarf1 allelic mutants in its mutation mechanism, indicating that d309 is a new allelic variant of the Dwarf1 gene.

    Abstract:
    To explore the key genes involved in oil content and fatty acid metabolism in Camellia oleifera, transcriptome analysis was performed on the kernel of camellia oleifera at three key developmental stages, and correlation analysis was conducted on the expression levels, oil content, and proportion of each fatty acid component of the enriched fatty acid metabolism key genes. Transcriptome analysis showed that 17772 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were obtained, of which 11006 genes were up-regulated, 6766 genes were down-regulated. GO (Gene Ontology) analysis showed that a total of 1302 DEGs were enriched with 195 GO terms in the three comparative groups, the unique DEGs were enriched with 14, 1, and 17 GO terms in each comparative group, respectively. KEGG analysis showed that the three comparative groups had DEGs enriched in Flavonoid biosynthesis, Phenylpropanoid biosynthesis, Diarylheptanoid and gingerol biosynthesis, and Glutathione metabolism at five pathways. In addition, in the Em0707vsEm1003 comparison group during the critical period of fatty acid synthesis, DEGs were enriched in four pathways of fatty acid biosynthesis, fatty acid metabolism, biotin metabolism and pyruvate metabolism, among which 12 DEGs genes involved in the fatty acid metabolism pathway; further determination of oil content and fatty acid composition in different stages of seed kernels, and correlation analysis showed that the expression levels of ACC, KASIII, PATE, KAT2 and SAD genes were significantly positively correlated with seed oil content and C18:1n-9c, while KASIII, ACC, PATE, and KAT2 genes were significantly negatively correlated with C16:0. They may be key genes regulating oil content and fatty acid metabolism in Camellia oleifera, the above research provides a scientific basis for genetic improvement of Camellia oleifera.

    Abstract:
    The content of mineral elements is a crucial indicator for evaluating forage quality and breeding. In recent years, rapeseed has become a valuable high-yield forage source, playing a key role in alleviating the shortage of feed resources in China. This study aimed to reveal the accumulation patterns of major mineral nutrients in the core germplasm of Brassica napus and to support the breeding of mineral-rich rapeseed. We evaluated the phenotypic variation in the contents of K, Ca, Na, Mg, Fe, Zn, and Cu in 280 core germplasms of B. napus using ICP-OES after hydroponic treatment. Through GWAS, we identified molecular markers significantly associated with the content of these minerals and predicted related candidate genes. The results showed significant variation in mineral content among different germplasms, and principal component analysis transformed the seven mineral indicators into three new indicators, with a cumulative contribution rate of 68.479%. Significant positive and negative correlations were found between different minerals; some germplasms exhibited extreme values for multiple minerals. A total of 134 SNPs related to mineral content were identified, and 14 candidate genes were predicted. This study provides important insights for the breeding and creation of new germplasm rich in mineral nutrients.

    Abstract:
    Leaf color is closely related to plant photosynthetic efficiency and grain yield of wheat. The physiological yellow leaves were present in an artificially synthesized wheat Y223. The F1 plants derived from the cross between Y223 and a normal green leaf variety Jinzuo 82 displayed intermediate phenotype in leaf color. Seventeen days after the emergence of flag leaves, the segregation ratio for green leaf, intermediate, and yellow leaf types in the F2 population Y223 × Jinzuo 82 fits to 1:2:1. Using the bulked segregant analysis method, F2 individuals with contrasting phenotypes were selected to establish green leaf pools and yellow leaf pools. From 569 SSR markers distributed on 21 chromosomes of wheat, 12 markers with consistent polymorphism between parents and green/yellow leaf pools were identified. Nine of them were located on chromosome 2B. These markers were used to genotype the F2 population, and the yellow leaf locus, designated YL-2B, was mapped by five markers. It was flanked by markers Xbarc200 and Xbarc55, with genetic distances of 2.3 cM and 3.8 cM, respectively. By comparing the characteristic of dominance/recessiveness, yellow leaf phenotype, and marker linkage, YL-2B proved to differ from the reported yellow leaf loci on chromosome 2B, indicating that it is possibly a novel locus. This study clarifies the inheritance mode and chromosome position of the yellow leaf locus carried by Y223, which provides a reference information for gene cloning and understanding leaf senescence mechanism.

    Abstract:
    Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is an ancient crop with various varieties and resources. Using fluorescent SSR markers, the resources of Panicum miliaceum L. can be managed and classified digitally, and many resources can be applied rationally and efficiently. In this study, 258 samples of millet resources from Inner Mongolia were used as experimental materials. Based on 85 pairs of conventional SSR markers developed by our research group, fluorescent SSR core markers were obtained through multiple amplification, screening, optimization and processing (fluorophores were added at the 5 "end of the primer). MapChart 2.32 was used to draw the chromosome location map of core markers, ID Analysis 4.0 was used to detect the differentiation of markers to materials, and PowerMarker 3.25 and PopGen 1.32 were used to analyze genetic diversity. MEGA 11.0.10 was used to draw the cluster diagram, NTSYSpc2.11a was used to draw the principal component analysis diagram, and finally the grass QR code generator was used to build DNA molecular identity cards of all materials. Genetic diversity analysis showed that there were 123 alleles (Na) in 258 materials amplified by 7 pairs of markers, with an average of 17.5714 NA per pair, ranging from 8.0000 to 25.0000. The number of effective alleles (Ne) ranged from 3.5868 to 16.2042, with an average of 7.4622. Shannon diversity index (I) was between 1.8361 and 2.8852, with an average value of 2.2270. Observed heterozygosity (Ho) and expected heterozygosity (He) ranged from 0.5303 to 0.9606 and 0.7229 to 0.9408, respectively, and the mean values were 0.8021 and 0.8372. Nei"s gene diversity index (Nei) ranged from 0.7212 to 0.9383, with an average of 0.8353. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.8266 to 0.9391, with an average of 0.8994. The results of capillary electrophoresis were encoded in a specific way, and only 7 pairs of fluorescent labels (RYW6, RYW8, RYW37, RYW40, RYW67, RYW124 and RYW125) were used to generate 258 strings and two-dimensional code DNA molecular identity cards of Inner Mongolia millet resources. The results provided a reference for the classification management and rapid identification of the germplasm resources of Inner Mongolia broomcorn millet.

    Abstract:
    Methionine is the first limiting amino acid in maize-soybean meal diets for livestock and poultry. An imbalance in amino acids leads to inhibition of protein synthesis in the organism, thus affecting the quality of meat and milk. To analyse the regulatory mechanism of methionine accumulation in maize grains, this study used homologous cloning to obtain a candidate gene, ZmTS1 (Threonine Synthase 1), which affects methionine content.Methionine content in Zmts1 mutant seeds increased by 60%, SDS-PAGE results showed that the methionine residue-rich 10 KDa-δ alcohol-soluble protein in the mature Zmts1 mutant kernel was significantly increased compared to the wild type, confirming that the gene could significantly increase the methionine content in maize kernels.The gene contained a threonine synthase structural domain and the encoded protein was hydrophilic, according to biological information analysis. The gene contained a threonine synthase structural domain and the encoded protein was hydrophilic, according to biological information analysis. Transcriptome analysis revealed 1,144 differentially expressed genes related to methionine metabolism, of which 571 were up-regulated and 573 down-regulated. Analysis of GO and KEGG enriched pathways showed that the differentially expressed genes were mainly involved in amino acid biosynthesis and metabolism pathways. Seven key candidate genes involved in the methionine pathway were further validated by qRT-PCR, which could indirectly regulate the methionine pathway, and the expression patterns of RNA-Seq and qRT-PCR were consistent. This study provides new germplasm resources for breeding methionine-rich maize, and also provides some theoretical basis for the mechanism of methionine regulation in maize.

    Abstract:
    Bagged flat peaches are becoming more and more popular with consumers because of their light fruit cracking, good appearance and golden or slightly reddish fruit surface. The cultivar "Zhongyoupan 9" with rapid cultivation expansion and several others can accumulate anthocyanins under bagging conditions, showing a light-insensitive anthocyanin biosynthesis pattern, though the molecular mechanism remains unclear. In the present study, we used the exocarp samples of bagged fruits of "Zhongyoupan 9" at 89 DAFB and 102 DAFB as experimental materials for transcriptomic, metabolomic and bi-omics analyses, to analyse the mechanism of light-insensitive phenotype in "Zhongyoupan 9" after bagging and shading. The results showed that a total of 2652 significant differential genes were identified by transcriptome analysis, including 16 differentially expressed genes related to anthocyanin biosynthesis, such as PpPAL, PpC4H, Pp4CLs, PpCHSs, PpCHIs, F3H, F3"H, PpDFR, PpANS, PpUFGT, PpGST, and 56 specifically up-regulated transcription factors, all of which were up-regulated and expressed in a pattern that correlated with anthocyanin content. High performance liquid tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) was used to detect changes in the relative content of flavonoid metabolites in the exocarp at developmental stages, and a total of 112 significantly different metabolites were detected, with a significant up-regulation of cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside, with the highest multiplicity of difference of 16.8 in Log2FC. The continuous accumulation of cyanidin-glucoside was the main metabolite responsible for the red colour of the exocarp after bagging of "Zhongyoupan 9". The results of co-analysis with KEGG enrichment analysis indicated that the up-regulated expression of transcription factors PpBL and PpNAC1 activated the expression of PpMYB10.1 under bagging and shading, which promotes the catalytic synthesis of the anthocyanin biosynthesis structural genes to synthesise cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside, which results in red colouration of the exocarp. The project"s progression holds not only theoretical significance but also substantial practical value, as its findings will contribute to unraveling the molecular mechanism of anthocyanin accumulation in peach fruits under bagging, providing a theoretical basis for selecting more suitable peach varieties for bagging cultivation.

    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to explore the phenotypic diversity of Castanea mollissima Bl. in Yanshan Mountains, and evaluate the nut appearance and economic traits targetedly using a variety of analytical methods. The phenotypic datasets (11 descriptive traits and 15 numerical traits) in 118 chestnut variety resources in Yanshan Mountains were collected. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index, principal component analysis, membership function and cluster analysis were used to evaluate and guide the appropriate utilization methods according to the nut phenotypic characteristics. The value of Shannon-Wiener diversity index（H''）of 11 descriptive traits ranged from 0.33 (number of pubescence) to 1.14 (color of nut), and the value of coefficient of variation was 11.63 % (obviousness of stripes) - 51.07 % (wiring shape). The value of coefficient of variation of 15 numerical traits ranged from 3.09% (kernel rate) to 24.69% (shell weight), and the value of coefficient of variation of shell weight, bar size, kernel weight and nut size was greater than 20.00 %. The Shannon-Wiener diversity index ranged from 1.85 (base width) to 2.09 (nut length). There were significant or extremely significant correlations among most numerical traits. The results of principal component analysis showed that the cumulative contribution rate of the first four principal components was 80.768 %, and contribution ratio of the first principal component (nut width, nut thickness, nut size, surface arc length and so on) was the largest, which could be used as a comprehensive index related to nut size. The variety resources with higher comprehensive scores of nut processing economic traits included Jianli, Nanchui 5, Xinglong 1, Maxingli, Yanli 1, Dabanhong, Yanli, Pingquan (Ge), Funingbaopi, Timashisheng.

    Abstract:
    Phoebe chekiangensis is a rare and endangered species in China. The investigation on the genetic diversity and genetic structure of populations will provide scientific basis for the effective protection and utilization of germplasm resources of P. chekiangensis. Fifteen pairs of SSR markers were used to detect 175 germplasm resources from 10 populations by capillary electrophoresis to analyze the genetic diversity and genetic structure of P. chekiangensis. A total of 114 alleles (Na) were detected in 175 germplasms of P. chekiangensis by 15 pairs of primers, with an average of 2.371 effective alleles (Ne) per pair of primers. The polymorphic information content (PIC) of SSR primer ranged from 0.323 to 0.844, averaging at 0.629. The populations of P. chekiangensis showed a moderate degree of genetic diversity (Ho=0.621, He=0.478). The inbreeding coefficient within Subpopulations (Fis) was -0.237, and the inbreeding coefficient for Total populations(Fit) was 0.082, indicating that the heterozygosity rate was high. There was high genetic differentiation (Fst=0.275) and low gene flow (Nm=0.763) between populations. Analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) showed that the inter-individual differences within the population were the main source of genetic variation, accounting for 78.7% of the total variation (P < 0.001). The population structure analysis and cluster analysis divided 10 populations of P. chekiangensis from different provenances into three groups, and there were some gene introgressions between populations. Habitat fragmentation and human disturbance may be the main reasons for the endangerment of P. chekiangensis, and measures should be taken to protect the genetic diversity of P. chekiangensis by combining in situ conservation and ex situ conservation.

Polymorphism analysis, evaluation, and genetic similarity analysis were performed on 16 germplasms (including 110 core germplasms) and 64 germplasms using SSR markers. The results showed that 736 local sesame germplasm in Jiangxi Province had rich genetic diversity. The genetic diversity index (GDI) of phenotypic traits ranged from 0.5129 to 2.0833, and the GDI of quantitative traits (1.7140~2.0833) was overall higher than that of qualitative traits (0.5129~1.2028);the primary core germplasm constructed by multiple clustering priority sampling method+15% sampling ratio+variable class average method+Euclidean distance can well represent the diversity of the original germplasm population; The cumulative contribution rates of the original germplasm population and core germplasm are 80.533% and 82.631%, respectively, indicating that the primary core germplasm can explain more than 80% of the genetic information of the original germplasm population; the six polymorphic parameter values of the original germplasm population and the core germplasm population are basically similar, and there is no significant difference in the mean t-test (except for the number of observed alleles). At the same time, the genetic similarity between the two populations is basically similar. The 16 core germplasm preliminarily represent the genetic diversity of 64 Ji"an sesame germplasm, further indicating that the 110 core germplasm can represent the genetic diversity of 736 Jiangxi sesame germplasm resources to the maximum extent for preservation and utilization.

    Abstract:
    To explore the diversity of floral organ phenotypic traits in tulip germplasm resources, 60 tulip cultivars were used as experimental materials. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis were performed on 9 floral organ phenotypic traits to study the genetic diversity of their floral organ phenotypic traits, providing reference for the evaluation, identification, and utilization of tulip germplasm resources. The results showed that there were varying degrees of differences in 5 quantitative traits (corolla longitudinal diameter, corolla transverse diameter, stigma length, stigma circumference, and stigma diameter) and 4 quality traits (corolla main color, pollen color, stigma shape, and initial flowering period). The coefficient of variation of corolla longitudinal diameter is 19.35%, and the coefficient of variation of corolla transverse diameter is 23.41%. The range of variation between cultivars is relatively large, and the degree of dispersion is relatively high. However, in terms of stigma length, circumference, and diameter, the range of variation is small, and the distribution is concentrated and the degree of dispersion is relatively low. 91.67% of the tested varieties have a triangular prism shaped stigma, and 5 cultivars exhibit variation in stigma shape. According to the observation of the initial flowering period, the proportions of early flowering, middle flowering, and late flowering in the tested cultivars are 20%, 38%, and 12%, respectively. Principal component analysis extracted 5 principal components that can reflect the phenotypic traits of tulip flower organs, with a cumulative contribution rate of 85.179%. By constructing a comprehensive evaluation model for the phenotypic traits of tulips, a total of 12 cultivars were found to have a comprehensive score (>0.5). Among them, ''Candy Prince'' and ''Foxy Foxtrot'' scored the highest, belonging to the two pink mid flowering cultivars. The stigma was long and thick, and the comprehensive traits of the flower organs were excellent. Principal component clustering analysis was conducted on 9 phenotypic traits of flower organs in 60 tulip cultivars, which can be divided into 4 categories. The 51 cultivars in the first category are mainly tulip cultivars with larger and more colorful flower types, thicker stigma, and excellent comprehensive performance of flower organ traits; The second type is only one variety of ''Purple Dream'', characterized by a slender corolla and thick and long stigma in the floral organs; The third category gathers 6 cultivars with short stigma and average comprehensive performance of floral organ traits; The fourth type is two cultivars with variations in stigma shape. The research results can provide support for the classification of tulip cultivars and the evolution of their phylogenetic relationships from a morphological perspective, and provide reference basis for further development of excellent floral organ ornamental traits, germplasm innovation, and variety improvement of tulips.

    Abstract:
    Germplasm resources are the material basis for the cultivation of new varieties and the strategic resources to ensure national food security. There are many germplasms with excellent characteristics, due to the limitation of identification technology, most of them have not been excavated and utilized. The progress of high-throughput phenotypic analysis technology provides the basis and conditions for the large-scale phenotypic identification of germplasm resources, and provides a new perspective for the mining and utilization of excellent characteristics of germplasm resources. In this study, based on the time-series canopy coverage data of 1,129 soybean germplasm collected by unmanned air vehicle in the early stage, The two spatial or temporal dimensions of max canopy coverage (MaxCC) and canopy cover increase speed (CCSpeed) were statistically analyzed to reveal the dynamic growth characteristics and differences of germplasm resources from different ecological regions in the field. The results showed that under the planting environment of Nanchang, Jiangxi Province, the MaxCC and CCSpeed of 1,129 soybean germplasm resources had rich phenotypic diversity, and the phenotypic variation coefficients were 16.09 % and 49.35 %, respectively. In terms of traits, the germplasms with oval or oval leaves and limited podding habits had higher canopy coverage and faster ridge closure speed. In terms of geographical origin, soybean germplasms from southern ecological regions had higher MaxCC and faster CCSpeed than soybean germplasms from other ecological regions. Finally, 21 excellent germplasms with MaxCC above 0.9 and the CCSpeed above 0.3 were selected. These germplasms are suitable for planting in the southern region. They can quickly CCSpeed at the early stage of growth and development, effectively inhibit the growth of weeds, thereby reducing the cost of field management, and can quickly accumulate more biomass at the early stage of growth, so as to achieve high yield at the late stage of growth. It provides a material basis for cultivating new high-yield soybean varieties with excellent characteristics and is of great significance for soybean production.

    Abstract:
    To explore the phenotypic diversity of A. crenata germplasm resources, 32 phenotypic traits of 56 A. crenata germplasm resources were analyzed. Diversity analyses showed that 56 A. crenata germplasm had enriched variation, with the Shannon-Wiener indices of 18 qualitative traits varying from 0.3 to 1.247, with a mean value of 0.734, and 14 quantitative traits with Shannon-Wiener indices ranging from 1.931 to 2.071, with a mean value of 2.007, and coefficients of variation 8.98%-46.32%, mean value 23.3%. The results of the correlation analysis showed that the correlation of the color of fruiting branch parts was significant, and there was a highly significant correlation between the growth quantity traits of the main stem and fruiting branches. Principal component analysis indicated that eight principal components with a cumulative contribution of 76.34%, mainly plant and fruiting branch length, fruit and leaf color, were the main factors for phenotypic differences in A. crenata germplasm; five excellent germplasm resources of A. crenata with high composite scores were obtained by screening. Cluster analysis could classify the 56 A. crenata germplasm into six taxa, and there were large differences in phenotypic traits among different taxa. The abundant phenotypic diversity and varietal types provide a basis for the selection, development, and utilization of superior germplasm resources of A. crenata.

    Abstract:
    In order to clarify the genetic background of the germplasm of Anemarrhena asphodeloides, the genetic diversity of 160 germplasm materials of A.asphodeloides was analyzed based on phenotypic traits and SSR markers. The results showed that the diversity index of 21 phenotypic traits ranged from 0.99 to 2.03, with an average value of 1.99. The coefficient of variation ranged from 17.22% to 151.07%, with an average of 43.42%. A total of 143 alleles were detected by capillary electrophoresis using 27 pairs of newly developed SSR primers. The effective alleles ranged from 0.56 to 7.40, with an average of 3.54. Shannon"s information index ranges from 0.17 to 0.51, with an average value of 0.36. Polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.15 to 0.50, with an average of 0.37. Cluster analysis showed that there was no obvious separation of 160 germplasm materials, but some of the same source of germplasm appeared in clusters. Principal component analysis and cluster analysis verified each other and showed similar results, which may be related to the frequent exchange of seeds and seedlings by the seed growers in different regions. In this study, 9 SSR markers associated with 6 phenotypic traits were screened by Chi-square test and T-test, which could be used for marker assisted breeding of female breeding.

    Abstract:
    Abstract: To evaluate the tolerance of different maize materials to salt stress during the germination period and explore the heterozygous patterns of salt tolerance in maize hybrid materials during the germination period. This study used a 160 mmol/L NaCl solution to treat 152 maize inbred lines and 303 hybrid varieties under salt stress. Distilled water culture was used as the control, and salt tolerance during germination was identified using a paper bed culture method in a culture dish. The results showed that salt stress treatment significantly reduced the germination potential, germination rate, and germination index of maize materials. Trait correlation analysis revealed a highly significant positive correlation between different traits. Using the salt tolerance rate during the germination period and combining with the clustering analysis results, the inbred and hybrid materials were divided into five salt tolerance levels: Level I (high tolerance), Level II (tolerance), Level III (moderate), Level IV (sensitive), and Level V (high sensitivity). According to the results of IBD (identity by descent) analysis, 146 inbred line materials were divided into 8 groups. The salt tolerance of different groups of inbred line materials was as follows: EUROM group>Complex group>ZI330 group>PB group>LAN group>SPT group>PA group>REID group. The hybrid materials are divided into 23 heterosis patterns based on the different parent material groups, among which EUROM × PB is the optimal heterosis pattern for salt stress tolerance during germination. This study identified the salt tolerance of inbred lines and hybrid materials, and selected 4 high salt tolerant inbred line materials and 17 high salt tolerant hybrid materials; It has been preliminarily determined that the EUROM group inbred lines have strong salt tolerance, and the optimal heterosis pattern is EUROM × PB.

    Abstract:
    In order to provide reference for the protect, development and utilization of Vaccinium bracteatum resources, a total of 70 germplasm resources from 5 geographical populations were genotyped by GBS (Genotyping-by-Sequencing) technique to develop SNP markers. Using the developed markers, we investigated the genetic diversity and population genetic structure of V. bracteatum. The result shows a total of 9752 highly consistent and effective SNP markers were obtained through sequencing data analysis. 5 geographical populations of V. bracteatum all have high levels of genetic diversity, with an average effective number of alleles (Ne) of 1.52, expected heterozygosity (He) of 0.21, and observed heterozygosity (Ho) of 0.23. Among the 5 populations, the Liyang population had the highest genetic diversity. Analysis of variance for molecular variation(AMOVA) revealed that 64.45% of the total genetic variation resided among individuals. The fixation index (Fst) showed a high degree of genetic differentiation among the 5 geographical populations, with the highest Fst values(0.406) observed between the Liyang and Shangyou populations. Based on the results of NJ Phylogenetic tree, V. bracteatum resources clustered into three branches, which did not show obvious correspondence between geographical location and genetic relationships. The STRUCTURE analysis clustered the V. bracteatum resources into three subgroups, the results of principal component analysis was consistent with it, and different geographical populations are distributed in each subgroup, indicating the existence of high gene exchange in V. bracteatum resources. This study provides reference for selection and breeding of V. bracteatum and germplasm conservation.

    Abstract:
    Accurate evaluation of drought resistance phenotype is the basis for mining drought resistance genes and exploring drought resistance genetics. At present, the method system for the evaluation of drought resistance of rice germplasm during whole growth periods in the field has not been reported. Based on many years of the evaluation and research of rice drought resistance in the field, the standard technical regulation for drought resistance evaluation in the field of rice germplasm during whole growth periods is formulated in this paper. It mainly includes application scope, land preparation, the methods of planting, watering, fertilization, weeding and harvest, and drought resistance evaluation index, so as to provide technical reference for drought resistance evaluation of rice germplasm during whole growth periods. The standard technical regulation is applicable to the evaluation of drought resistance during whole growth periods during the winter in Sanya City, Hainan Province (from mid-November to early-April of the next year).

    Abstract:
    Purple corn (Zea mays L.) contained a higher anthocyanins and other functional phytochemicals, and was widely used in function food and pharmaceutical industries, thereby ranked a higher economic benefits for the corn industry. To explore the regulatory mechanism of anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway in purple corn, 83 Zea mays anthocyanin biosynthetic genes (ZmABGs) were identified using bioinformatic approach, classified into 5 groups byphylogenetic tree, which were widely and randomly distributed in 10 chromosomeins. Cis-acting elements analysis of ZmABGs in the promoter region indicated that the potential role of ZmABGs involved in hormone signaling pathways and responsive to different stress.. In addition, more ZmABGs genes were expressed in pollinated organ samples than un- pollinated organ samples, especially for corn pericarp through expression analysis of different tissues. qRT-PCR showed that the upregulation of?regulatory genes (ZmPAP1-b and ZmLDB38-a)?together with its target structure genes (such as ZmF3H-b, ZmDFR-b, ZmCHS-b, ZmF3’H, ZmPAL1-b, ZmPAL1-l and Zm4CH-c) might promote the anthocyanin accumulation in?Zi2-1 at early stages (10–34 days), while the down-regulation of those ZmABGs at late developmental stages (34–46?days). Taken together, our results gain insight into better understanding of the genetic mechanisms and regulatory network of anthocyanin accumulation in?maize, and providing a theoretical basis for promoting the breeding of high anthocyanin maize varieties.

    Abstract:
    With the increasing global warming, high temperature seriously threatens rice production and food security. Identifying heat-tolerant genes and cultivating new heat-resistant varieties are crucial approaches to deal with the harm of high temperature. A set of RIL population, derived from the cross between the heat-sensitive variety Junambyeo(JNB) and the strong heat-tolerant variety Ganzaoxian58(GZX58), identified the heat tolerance related traits and QTL at heading stage under extreme natural high-temperature conditions based on high-density genetic map.Under high-temperature stress, seed setting rate was significantly reduced, which is significantly correlated with the control seed setting rate and heat resistance coefficient. The RIL population''s seed-setting rates under high temperature showed a continuous and approximately normal distribution, exhibiting highly significant correlations with control seed-setting rates and heat tolerance coefficients.Six QTL were detected for spikelet number, filled grain number and seed setting rate under control environment, five heat tolerance QTL were detected under high temperature stress, including qHTSF4, qHTSFII4, qHTC2, qHTC4 and qHTC6, among these QTLs qHTSFI4, qHTSFII4 and qHTC4 were located in the same chromosome region, forming a major QTL cluster qHTH4. Utilizing high-density genetic map, extreme lines genotype and bioinformatics, it was confirmed that qHTC2, qHTH4 and qHTC6 function in regulating heat tolerance and had additive effects, in here, the RIL lines that aggregated more than two major QTL had significantly enhanced heat resistance, and then 14 directly related gene were screened in the key QTL mapping target regions, which laid the foundation for the genetic improvement of heat tolerance and molecular mechanism analysis of key genes in rice.

    Abstract:
    Heavy metals, such as cadmium, are increasingly polluting soil, and they not only interfere with the life cycle of plants, but also reduce crop yields and even lead to plant death. Consequently, plants have evolved a series of defense mechanisms to resist heavy metal stress for themselves. Plant transcription factor MYB is a key regulator under stress, which can be co-regulated with downstream target genes in response to heavy metal stress, thus conferring tolerance to heavy metals and reducing their damage to plants. Understanding the molecular mechanisms by which plants cope with heavy metal stress (especially cadmium stress) is a primary goal of plant biotechnology research and agricultural breeding. In this paper, we mainly review five aspects, namely, identification and characteristics of MYB family members, functions and the mechanism of regulating target genes, how MYB regulates target genes to participate in heavy metal stress response through photosynthesis and hormones, etc. And we will deeply discuss that, in the adaptive mechanism of plants to heavy metal stress, MYB transcription factors combine with target genes or promoter elements through signaling pathways (reactive oxygen species homeostasis, abscisic acid signaling, gibberellins signaling, photosynthesis, etc.), which are involved in the regulation of uptake, transport and sequestration of heavy metals in plants. This paper provides a certain theoretical basis for further development and utilization of MYB transcription factors.

    Abstract:
    Rice is a salt sensitive plant, and soil salinization has a significant impact on rice yield. Therefore, exploring excellent haplotypes of salt tolerant genes and creating excellent salt tolerant germplasm are of great significance for rice breeding. This study firstly identified 236 core germplasm samples from the 3K rice database for salt tolerance investigation during seedling stage and whole growth period in the field. A strong salt tolerant germplasm ''71011'' from Australia was identified. This germplasm survived for 25.5 days and had a salt tolerance level of 5.2 under 150mM NaCl treatment conditions, 100% survival rate under 0.3-0.5% salt treatment in the paddy field. Using the 236 core germplasm population, haplotype analysis was conducted on 20 reported salt tolerance genes. A total of 8 genes, including AKT1, CPK12, MYB48, P5CS1, SIK1, SKC1, SNAC1, and HKT1, was identified that had haplotypes associated with salt tolerance. Then, one salt tolerant rice variety ‘Yanfeng 47’ and one normal variety ‘Nongken 57’ were selected as parents for recombinant inbred lines construction. Finally, three molecular markers were designed for elite haplotypes of three genes, AKT1, MYB48, and HKT1. These molecular markers were confirmed by PCR and qRT-PCR. We innovated three high salt tolerance lines by aggregating elite haplotypes of salt tolerant genes by molecular marker assistance breeding. Our results provided available germplasm resources, molecular markers and innovative lines for breeding new salt-tolerant rice varieties.

    Abstract:
    China is one of the important distribution centers for Begonia in the world, with the karst mountain regions of western Guangxi representing the epicenter, particularly for sect. Coelocentrum. The overall distribution is defined by a myriad of species, diminutive populations, fragmented habitats, and delicate ecosystems. In recent years, the human activities have increasingly interfered with the habitats of wild Begonia populations. In order to further understand the distribution characteristics and population status of Begonia in western Guangxi, wild Begonia resources in Chongzuo, Baise and Hechi in western Guangxi were investigated from 2017 to 2022, involvcluding 66 Begonia species (53 officially published species or subspecies and 13 suspected new species) across nearly 140 wild populations. The habitats and growth conditions of various populations were mainly investigated and recorded while the literature and herbarium specimens were also analyzed. The findings indicate that most wild populations were in good condition of growth and regeneration, however, human activities, especially infrastructure development, tourism expansion, and unregulated harvesting, pose threats to some wild populations of Begonia, pushing a few to the brink of extinction. The resources of Begonia in western Guangxi are extremely rich and include some species yet to be discovered or published., and there are many taxa with high ornamental value and development potential, especially sect. Coelocentrum. Based on the investigation of the distribution and growth of wild Begonia resources in western Guangxi, this study summarized the overall distribution characteristics and diversity of the resources, and put forward suggestions on how to further develop and utilize of these resources while ensuring their protection.

    Abstract:
    To reveal the genetic background of black rice materials and clarify the genetic relationship between the materials, the genetic diversity of 90 rice materials (including 21 black leaf black rice, 24 purple leaf black rice, 30 green leaf black rice, and 15 white rice) were analyzed by using 30 SCoT primers screened in the laboratory. The results showed that a total of 194 bands were amplified by SCoT primers, including 165 polymorphic bands, and the proportion of polymorphisms was 85%. The average values of allele number (Na), effective allele number (Ne), Nei’s gene diversity index (H) and Shannon’s information index (I) were 1.9216, 1.3922, 0.2445 and 0.3836, respectively. The genetic similarity coefficients of the tested rice germplasms were 0.3798 to 0.9697. The results of cluster analysis showed that at a genetic similarity coefficient of 0.73, the 90 rice materials were clustered into four groups. The results of population structure analysis and cluster analysis were in good agreement. This study provides a reference for parental selection in black rice crossbreeding, and a theoretical basis for genetic improvement and cultivation of new varieties of black rice varieties.

    Abstract:
    Photosynthesis is the basis for plant survival. Leaf color mutants are often accompanied by abnormal chloroplast structure and blocked photosynthetic pigment synthesis. Therefore, the study of leaf color mutants can provide experimental data and theoretical support for photosynthesis and photomorphogenesis. In this study, maize etiolation mutant et9 (etiolation 9), which was screened from maize inbred line PH6WC by 2.48Gy fast neutron irradiation, was used as the material. Through phenotypic identification, determination of chlorophyll content in leaves, microscopic observation of chloroplast structure and analysis of photosynthetic characteristics, et9 plant height and panicle height were significantly lower than those of the wild type, and the flag leaf length, flag leaf width and the third leaf width were significantly reduced. The tasseling, pollen shedding and silking stages were delayed by 10-12 days compared with the wild type. The contents of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll were obviously lower than those of wild type. The chloroplast structure is loose, the distribution of thylakoids is chaotic, and the number of basal grains is small; Compared with the wild type, the net photosynthetic rate, stomatal conductance and transpiration rate decreased significantly, while the intercellular carbon dioxide concentration increased significantly. The chloroplast fluorescence parameters were significantly lower than those of the wild type except for photochemical quenching. Genetic pattern analysis revealed that the yellowing phenotype was controlled by a nuclear recessive gene, named Zmet9 (Zea mays etiolation 9). The F2 segregating population was constructed by crossing it with maize inbred line B73, and the mutation site was preliminarily located in the 2 Mb region of 20 - 22 Mb on chromosome 9 of maize using the BSR-seq method. Four pairs of KASP markers and two pairs of InDel markers were further developed in the initial mapping interval, and about 1100 mutant phenotypic plants were used for fine mapping. Finally, Zmet9 was finely mapped to a region of about 160 kb between KASP19 and 2040 on chromosome 9 of maize. This interval contains five candidate genes, of which Zm00001d045384 encodes an iron superoxide dismutase, and the leaf color bleaching phenotype occurs after the mutation of homologous genes FSD2 and FSD3 in Arabidopsis. We speculate that Zm00001d045384 may be a candidate gene for Zmet9.

    Abstract:
    Abstract: Based on the farmers'' cognition and survey data, this article analyzed the Shaanxi excellent resources, which from the third national-wide agricultural germplasm survey. It was found that the crop types were mainly vegetables crops and fruit, followed by food crops, and the crop species were mainly common bulk crops. The mainly characteristics are excellent quality, good appearance and strong adaptability. Among the excellent traits, taste traits are the most concerned by farmers, followed by appearance and resistance. The distribution of fruit crops and vegetables is more in Guanzhong region, and food crops is more in southern Shaanxi region. The distribution of crop species is influenced by both natural and human environment. Farmers'' cognition can truly reflect farmers'' subjective needs, selection results, and selection strategies or experiences. It is found that high quality is the main demand for farmers'' preserving resources, followed by appearance and adaptability factors. The direction of selection may be to solve prominent problems, and on this basis, other needs should be taken into account.Priority is give to quality, appearance and adaptability needs, which makes the main needs and corresponding main excellent traits and secondary needs and their excellent traits have a greater correlation. The role of artificial selection is obvious.Therefore, the formation of Shaanxi resources is influenced by both natural and artificial selection, and the natural environment makes the result of artificial selection results rich and colorful, but under the leading role of artificial selection, excellent germplasm resources with Shaanxi characteristics are finally formed. The protection and utilization of Shaanxi excellent resource should fully consider the characteristics of resource distribution,focus on exploitation of resource value,and gradually improve the resource protection and utilization system through establishing reasonable benefit mechanisms and management mechanisms.

    Abstract:
    In order to improve the utilization efficiency of wheat germplasm resources in China, broaden the genetic basis of wheat germplasm resources, and screen excellent breeding parent resources, 607 wheat germplasm were used as materials, and 13 quality trait indicators of the tested wheat germplasm were comprehensively evaluated using methods such as coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, and cluster analysis. The results showed that there was rich variation in 13 quality traits among different wheat germplasm resources, with a coefficient of variation ranging from 2.28% to 79.65%. Among them, the coefficient of variation was the highest for dough stability time, and the dispersion of the peak time for gelatinization characteristic indicators was the lowest. Moreover, germplasm after 2000 had a greater degree of dispersion among multiple personality traits.Compared with germplasm from different generations, the protein content and wet gluten content of flour showed a significant decrease trend, with local varieties> varieties from 1949 to 2000 > varieties after 2000, while the indexes such as gluten index, developing time and stability time, which reflect the strength of gluten, showed a significant increase trend with the passing of time.The peak viscosity and breakdown values were the highest in germplasm from 1949 to 2000, followed by local varieties, and the third was after 2000. Correlation analysis shows that there is varying degrees of correlation between the 13 quality indicators, and protein content, wet gluten content, and peak viscosity are correlated with multiple other indicators, which can be used as guiding target traits for wheat variety breeding. System clustering analysis divides wheat germplasm into 6 categories, and there are certain differences in quality traits among different groups, each with its unique characteristics; The Ⅲ group has characteristics such as low flour water absorption and low gluten index; The Ⅳ type has the characteristics of high protein content, high wet gluten content, and high peak viscosity. At the same time, eight germplasms with protein content, wet gluten content, and stable time meeting the strong gluten standard were identified, and one germplasm meeting the weak gluten standard was also identified. The relevant results provide important reference and theoretical basis for the utilization of wheat germplasm resources and the breeding of high-quality varieties in China.

    Abstract:
    Monilinia fructicola is the dominant species causing peach brown rot in China. It mainly damages the fruits at the maturity. The fruits near the maturity and during the storage were the most seriously damaged, which can cause a large number of rotten fruits and fruit drops. Infected fruits can not only infect each other in the orchard but also continue to infect diseases during storage and transportation, causing significant losses in yield. So, it is of great significance to screen peach brown rot resistant resources and provide parents with excellent resistance for breeding resistant germplasm. In 2022-2023, peach fruits with a maturity of 8.0-8.5 were collected from Zhengzhou Peach Orchard in the National Horticultural Germplasm Resource Center for artificial inoculation and screening. There were 150 non-destructive inoculated fruit germplasm collections and 37 destructive inoculated fruit germplasm collections. To evaluate the percentage growth of infected fruits per day (PGIF, %) of non-destructively inoculated fruits and lesion diameter growth rate (LDGR, cm·d-1) of destructively inoculated fruits. A 9-grade resistance evaluation system was established with the average value and 0.5 standard deviations. The resistance of different germplasm, flesh texture, fruit types, and origin were compared, and the correlation between resistance indexes and other fruit characters was analyzed. PGIF by non-destructive inoculation was (7.68±5.35)%, and the CV value was 3.73. Based on this standard, a 9-grade resistance evaluation system was established. Grade 1: ≥0, <0.98, including 11 accessions resistant to fruit brown rot. Grade 2: ≥0.98, <3.66, including 34 accessions. Grade 3: ≥3.66, <6.34, including 28 accessions. Grade 4: ≥6.34, <9.02, including 21 accessions. Grade 5: ≥9.02, <11.70, including 20 accessions. Grade 6: ≥11.70, <14.38, including 14 accessions. Grade 7: ≥14.38, <17.06, including 16 accessions. Grade 8: ≥17.06, <19.74, including 4 accessions, and Grade 9: ≥19.74, including only 2 accessions. LDGR was (0.82±0.26) cm·d-1, and the CV value was 0.09. Based on this standard, a 9-grade evaluation system was established. Grade 1: ≥0, <0.36, including 1 accession with strong resistance. Grade 2: ≥0.36, <0.49, including 3 accessions. Grade 3: ≥0.49, <0.62, including 5 accessions. Grade 4: ≥0.62, <0.75, including 5 accessions. Grade 5: ≥0.75, <0.89, including 7 accessions. Grade 6: ≥0.89, <1.02, including 8 accessions. Grade 7: ≥1.02, <1.15, including 5 accessions. Grade 8: ≥1.15, <1.28, including 2 accessions, and Grade 9: ≥1.28, including only 1 accession. The regression relationship between PGIF (Y) and LDGR (X) was y=3.09+7.91x(R2=0.130), and the lower R2 value indicates that the two resistance evaluation indexes have a nonlinear regression relationship. The comparative results of peach brown rot resistance were grouped according to germplasm, flesh texture, fruit types, and origin, were as follows. It was found that, under the condition of non-destructive inoculation, landraces were more resistant to brown rot than cultivars, flat peach and peaches were more resistant to brown rot than nectarine and flat nectarine, and none-melting peach are more resistant to brown rot than hard-melting and soft-melting peach accessions. The LDGR was negatively correlated with fruit acidity (r=-0.43, p<0.05), and the PGIF was negatively correlated with fruit hardness (r=-0.36, p<0.05). A 9-level evaluation system for brown rot resistance was established, and 11 accessions resistant to the fungus invasion and 1 accession resistant to the fungus expansion were screened out by non-destructive and destructive inoculation methods, respectively.

    Abstract:
    In order to study the salt tolerance of Shanxi foxtail millet during germination, to screen candidate genes related to salt tolerance of foxtail millet, and to understand the genetic mechanism of traits related to germination of foxtail millet seeds under salt stress, a total of 333 Shanxi core germplasm was selected for the identification of salt tolerance of foxtail millet during germination. This experiment selected 333 Shanxi core germplasm to study the salt tolerance of Shanxi foxtail millet during the germination stage and to screen for salt-tolerant germplasm materials. A stress of 170 mmol/L NaCl was applied in a light culture room to assess the salt tolerance of the cereals during germination. The subordinate function value method was used to classify the salt tolerance grade of cereals, and the comprehensive evaluation D value of five related traits, namely, relative germination potential, relative germination rate, relative root length, relative shoot length, and relative germination index, was used to evaluate the salt tolerance of cereals at the germination stage. Combined with the results of core germplasm resequencing, the genome-wide association analysis of salt tolerance at germination stage was carried out. The results showed that the salt tolerance of the core germplasm of the test cereals varied significantly, and the salt tolerance of the 333 core germplasm of the cereals was classified into five categories using the comprehensive evaluation D-value, among which there were 17 high salt-tolerant germplasm. Genome-wide association analysis detected a total of 84 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci associated with salt tolerance during emergence. Functional annotation was performed on the genes where the significantly associated SNPs were located, and the analysis screened for the salt tolerance candidate gene Millet_GLEAN_10019153, which was associated with emergence, and haplotyped the gene. The results of this study have certain reference significance for the identification of salt-tolerant cereal germplasm and the mining of salt-tolerant genes.

    Abstract:
    Pepper (Zanthoxylum bungeanum Maxim.) is an important economic crop, integrating flavoring, medicine, oil extraction and ornamental, which has a long history and is widely planted in China. China is the origin of pepper and has found 45 species, 13 varieties, rich resources. Pepper like sunshine and have strong survival ability. However, pepper makes the cultivation and promotion of the limitations for its relatively poor low temperature resistance. Low temperature is the main environmental factor, which seriously affects the yield and quality of pepper and impedes the sustainable development of pepper industry. In this paper, we reviewed the current research status at home and abroad from four aspects, including the growth morphology, evaluation of cold tolerance, physiological and biochemical changes, and molecular response mechanism of pepper. The results showed that there are two methods to characterize the low-temperature tolerance of pepper: natural identification in the field and indoor low-temperature treatment. Related studies on physiological changes in pepper mainly focused on four aspects: water content, biofilm structure (relative conductivity, MDA), antioxidant enzymes (SOD, POD) and osmotic regulating substances (soluble sugars, soluble proteins, free proline); the exploration of molecular response mechanisms in pepper has revealed multiple metabolic pathways that work together in response to low-temperature stress in pepper. Finally, this paper analyzes and looks forward to the current research direction of pepper in response to low-temperature stress, in order to lay a foundation for further identification and evaluation of Zanthoxylum Zanthoxylum germplasm resources, research on cold resistance and the creation and cultivation of cold resistant germplasm.

    Abstract:
    Chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum morifolium) has important ornamental and economic value. Drought reduces its yield and quality, resulting in great economic losses. Digging up drought-resistant genes in chrysanthemum and breeding drought-tolerant varieties is one of the keys to solving the above problems. MYB transcription factors are involved in plant growth and development and response to abiotic stress. This study involved the heterologous expression of the CmMYB15-like gene from chrysanthemum in Arabidopsis, followed by the observation of phenotypic changes under drought stress. The investigation of drought resistance function of this gene included measurement of relative water content (RWC), malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, soluble sugars (SS), superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, and lignin content. The results showed that overexpression of CmMYB15-like increased RWC and SS contents and SOD activity, decreased MDA content, and increased taproot length and lateral root number after drought stress, compared with the wild type. In addition, the lignin synthesis-related genes such as AtPAL2, AtPAL4 and At4CL1 were up-regulated, and the lignin content was higher than that in the wild type. These results indicate that CmMYB15-like is involved in the drought stress response of Arabidopsis Thaliana, which provides a theoretical basis for the selection of drought-resistant gene resources and breeding of chrysanthemum cultivars.

    Abstract:
    In recent years, facility cultivation in watermelon has become one of the main ways in China, and dwarf germplasm resources have been of interest considering their application for their unique advantages in facility cultivation. Dwarf is one important agronomic trait in modulating plant architecture, and dwarf watermelon varieties are adaptable for high-density planting, mechanizing management and pest control, which can effectively reduce costs and meet the current needs of simplified watermelon cultivation. In this study, 14 dwarf germplasms, which were collected from domestic and foreign countries, were subjected for self-pollination with several generations to obtain homozygous inbred lines. Fourteen dwarf germplasms were subjected for diallel crosses, and F1 hybrids and derived F2 populations were analyzed for plant architecture related agronomic traits. Based on allelic tests for 14 dwarf germplasms, two types (class-I and class-II) on the dwarf phenotype were observed. The dwarf trait in class-I mutants d1, d2, d3 and d6 was controlled by the same recessive gene Cldw1, while the dwarf trait in class-mutants was controlled by another recessive gene Cldf. The F1 hybrid derived from inter-crosses between two classes were observed with long vine, and the segregation ratio of the vine type in F2 population was 9:3:3:1, thus confirming that the dwarf trait in two types of mutants were controlled by two different recessive genes. The analysis of different dwarf germplasm mutants in this study provided better understanding of watermelon dwarf resources, which has implication in breeding for new watermelon dwarf varieties.

    Abstract:
    The allotriploid interspecies (BCC) were obtained by reciprocal crosses between Brassica carinata (2n=4x=BBCC=34) and Chinese kale (2n=2x=CC=18). The interspecies displayed a stronger growth than parents; the plant and flower type tended to parent B. carinata; and the flower color was the same as parent Chinese kale. Meiosis observation of the allotriploid showed that 9 bivalents and 8 univalents (9Ⅱ 8Ⅰ) were formed at diakinesis, and the two kind of chromosomes (B and C) tended to separate into two groups; at metaphaseⅠ, 9 bivalents of CC genome arranged on equatorial plane and 8 univalents of B genome distributed around the equatorial plane ; and at anaphaseⅠ, the distributions of chromosomes with 13/13 or 12/14 were in the majority. The obtain of this allotriploid (BCC) provides an important material for production of CC B alien addition lines and for study of chromosome homology between B and C genome.

    Abstract:
    Guizhou province is an important distribution area of wild allium, especially in Hezhang county. In order to understand and study the distribution, the wild Chinese chive in Hezhang county was investigated, and the main nutritional components were analyzed. The results indicated that there are mainly 3 kinds of wild Chinese chive distributed in Hezhang county, Allium wallichii Kunth., Allium ovalifolium Hand.-Mzt.(tentatively named) and Allium hookeri Thwaites (tentatively named). . The geographical distribution, habitat and climate of the wild chives were investigated. Among 17 kinds of amino acids, except for proline, the contents of other amino acids in wild chives were higher than that of the cultivated chive. The sugar contents of wild chives were significantly lower than the cultivated chive. Among 9 trace elements, zinc and iron contents of Allium ovalifolium Hand.-Mzt.were significantly higher than that of cultivated chives and other wild chives. Among 4 kinds of heavy metal, cadmium content in 3 kinds of wild chives exceed the limitation of national standard, especially the cadmium content in Allium ovalifolium Hand.-Mzt. was significantly higher than the others. Content of arsenic, mercury and lead in Allium ovalifolium Hand.-Mzt. also exceed the limitation of national standard; Vc content in leaves and stalk of Allium wallichii Kunth. in original habit was higher than that of cultivated chives. The biological characteristics and nutrition components of wild chives from Hezhang county were significantly different from that of cultivated chives, which will be important genetic resources for utilization and quality development of chives.

    Abstract:
    In this study, we investigated the phenotypic diversity of 18 characters on five main natural populations of Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum that were collected from three provinces Yunnan, Guangxi and Guizhou in China. The statistical methods used included nested variance analysis, coefficient of variation, correlation analysis, principal component analysis (PCA) and cluster analysis. The results revealed significant difference at most phenotypic traits among populations if compared to that within populations. The mean phenotypic differentiation coefficient (VST) was 75.18%, indicating that the population diversity was largely contributed by the variation among populations. The average variation coefficient of the 18 phenotypic traits was variable from 6.36%–18.51%, with a higher degree of dispersion. PCA showed that plant height, length of ovary, scape height, length of maximum leaf, diameter of flower and length of synsepal were the main sources of phenotypic variation. Pearson correlation analysis showed that plant height, width of synsepal and width of dorsal sepal were significantly or extremely significantly positively correlated with the majority of plant traits, whereas only the length of synsepal was extremely significantly correlated with geographic factors. Cluster analysis revealed three groups from the five populations, which could be explained by the geographic distribution. This study found that populations of Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum have high genetic diversity, and the variation between populations is much higher than that within the population. The phenotypic diversity indicates that wild Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum populations should be protected as much as possible. Moreover, it is recommended that germplasm is preserved in nurseries and libraries in addition to in-situ conservation, and that an artificial reproduction system is established enhance our conservation efficiency.

    Abstract:
    The root system architecture (RSA) determines the composition of the root system and plays an irreplaceable role in crop growth and development. It is of great significance to analyze the genetic mechanism of wheat root architecture and the selection of varieties with better RSA traits in breeding for elite wheat varieties. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) is an effective method to analyze the genetic mechanism of complicated quantitative traits (i.e. RSA) in wheat. In the study, GWAS for RSA-related traits(total root length, total root surface area, total root volume, average root diameter and number of root tips) were conducted in 160 wheat accessions from Henan and Shandong, which were previously genotyped by wheat 660K SNP chip. Twenty-three loci associated with RSA related traits were detected from chromosomes 1A, 2A, 2B, 3B, 4A, 5A, 5B, 5D, 6A, 6B and 7B, and each explained the phenotypic variation variable from 7.2% to 12.8%. Among them, eleven loci are found to coincide with the formerly-reported loci, and the remaining 12 loci are newly identified. Taken together, this study is of significance to uncover the genetic structure of the root architecture with a potential in future breeding of high-yield and stress-resistant wheat cultivars.

    Abstract:
    To explore the main characters of the genetic features of sorghum panicle and evaluate the use value of material of latest introduction and cultivation of sorghum parents, thus providing theoretical basis for breeding of sorghum panicle and reference. Four sorghum sterile lines(13163A, 1358A, 128A and 407A ) and 6 restorer lines (9.1R, 213R, 272R, 381R, Dwarf182R and Early21R) were mated, the combining ability of main traits of F1 generation’s panicles was analyzed according to incomplete diallel cross(NCII). The results showed that the main panicle traits exist significant genetic differences, the main performance for the additive gene effect of genetic traits are: spike length, primary branches number, secondary branch number, grain numbe per spike; Narrow heritability size order are: secondary branch number > primary branch number > spike length> grain number per spike > grain weight per spike >1000-kernel weight. Different parent’s general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) is significant difference in different traits. Sterile line 407A and restorer early 21R, 9.1R which has better comprehensive characteristic, have great potential applications in production of hybrid combinations. Restorer 272R combined with lower spike grain number and small grains characteristics can satisfy the market demand for small grain sorghum. In-depth analysis of sorghum hybrid parent main panicle traits, is conducive to the further understanding and use of parent material.

    Abstract:
    Abstract: tassel is an important reproductive organ of maize and the appearance of different kinds of maize differ in thousands of ways .molecular markers, tightly linked with tassel color, could be screened by genetic analysis and QTL mapping of the color of the maize tassel. these molecular markers can be used as an useful tool for maize variety protection and species identification. Mean while, higher pigment content of anthocyan in purple tassel is closely related to the insect resistance of maize tassel. In this study, a black SDM of maize inbred lines were used as a common male parent and respectively hybrid with the white maize inbred lines of wood and yellow maize inbred line Mo17 to build two F2: 3 groups, respectively named MuS (Mu6 x SDM), and MoS (, Mo17 ?SDM).these two groups were planted in two different environments in Yunnan and Chongqing, then conduct QTL mapping about two traits, the anther color (COAn) and the anther capes color (COCa). The results showed that: the anther color and the anther cape color are both quantitative traits, jointly controlled by major genes and minor genes. Seven QTL related to anther color are detected from the two groups in two different environments. They are located in chromosome 2,3,6 and 10.The QTL within marker interval umc1196a-IDP8526 on the chromosome 10 both expressed in Chongqing and Yunnan, and the contribution rate of the phenotype were 23.17% and 19.98%; nine QTL related to anther cape color are detected from the two groups in two environments, located in chromosome 3, 6, 9 and 10 .Among them, three QTL are environmental insensitive (they express in both two environments and the contribution rate are greater than 10%), which respectively in the marker interval umc1979-umc1796 mmc0523-umc2006 in chromosome 6 and the marker interval umc1196a-umc2043 in the chromosome 10 and the contribution rate of the phenotype ranges from 10.69% to 59.30%. The location and effect of the major QTL detected from these two groups have a high degree of consistency, and the major QTL controlling the two traits of anther color and anther cape color have the phenomenon of chain of distribution, mainly near the marker mmc0523 at bin6.04 and the marker IDP8526 at bin10.04. QTL that located on chromosome 6 and 10, and that are stable in different environments and genetic backgrounds can be regarded as the target sites used for further fine mapping. They can also provide a valuable reference for marker-assisted selection of maize tassel color.

    Abstract:
    Barbarea vulgaris is an excellent cruciferous plant, particularly being ideal as a model species to study saponin biosynthesis, insect resistance, and coevolution of plants and insect pest. In order to make full use of B. vulgaris germplasm, the genetic diversity was analyzed among the 34 accessions conserved in the national mid-term gene bank for vegetables, based on the phenologic, morphological and insect resistance data from the field investigation. The results showed significant morphological diversity in B. vulgaris germplasm from Europe. Among the 34 accession, BV13-BAR13 bolted earliest, 47 days earlier than the latest bolting material (BV13-BAR9). Most of the B. vulgaris germplasm have glabrous leaves, strong tillering ability and more leaf numbers. The range and coefficient variation (CV) of the plant height, silique length and inflorescence length are the highest among all traits. Only 9 of 34 B. vulgaris are susceptible to the diamondback moth, most accessions are highly resistant to the pest. The clustering analysis showed that 34 accessions can be divided into 3 groups. The resistant and susceptible germplasm were distributed to different groups, reflecting their genetic relationships. Our research will provide useful materials and information for the genetic breeding of insect resistant B. Vulgaris and cruciferae crops.

    Abstract:
    High molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) in the doubling haploids from stable cultivars and the crossing hybrids between different varieties of common wheat were analyzed to explore the possibility of improving the subunit compositions by anther culture and commercial crossing. Double haploids from five wheat genotypes of Alondra, Orofen, Xinchun9, Verry, and Bainong3217 were obtained by anther culture, and different hybrids were made each other from different wheat lines with different HMW-GS constitutions such as Xingchun9, Jing771, CB037, CS, Ningchun4, Bobwhite, and yangmai12 by crossing. Then, SDS-PAGE was used to analyze the populations of the doubling haploids and the crossing hybrids for HMW-GS combinations. The results indicated that frequent variation of HMW-GS happened in the doubled haploids with a rate up to 61.8% in the test genotypes, among which Alondra and Bainong3217 gave higher variation frequency than other three varieties, and several subunits might be new ones which are not present in the corresponding wild types, but need to be identified further. Comparing with the donor lines, the typical double haploids varied in HMW-GS were not changed in main agronomic characteristics such as plant height, growth period, and grain weight. In most F1 hybrids, the expression of all HMW-GS appeared to be co-dominant, but the expression of one or two HMW-GSs was did found to be suppressed in a few F1 crosses. Cytoplasm of female parents was found to have some effect on the expression of very few subunits in a few crosses. At the same time, 2-3 possible new subunits that did not exist in the parents were observed in the two crosses, Ningchun4/CB037 and Jing771/Ningchun4. By continuous self-crossing and tracing of the new subunits, stable lines expressing the putative new subunits were obtained from the two crosses mentioned above. Variation of HMW-GSs constitution or new HMW-GS can be induced by anther culture and normal cross. Co-dominant of HMW-GS expression did not definitely exist in all F1 crosses. Cytoplasm did effect the expression of HMW-GS in some cases. The present study is theoretical and practical valuable for the improvement of wheat processing quality and the further understanding of the genetic and structural features of HMW-GSs encoding genes.

    Abstract:
    Hengduan mountains lie in southwest of China,which is famous by the extending from south to north.There widely distribute wild Dactylis glomerata germplasm resources,which belongs to subspecies glomerata,and subspecies himalayensis.The distribution range of two subspecies is nearly the same,but much difference existed in the morphological characters and phenological development in two subspecies.Through hybridization of subspecies himalayensis and subspecies glomerata in artificial condition,triploid offspring may be obtained.But no definite evidence has been found that hybrid triploid offspring was existed by crossbreeding of two subspecies in natural condition.In recent decade years,many basal studies about the two subspecies have been done in China,but a few were about the protection and utilization.Thinking about the origin,it can be sure that subspecies himalayensis belong to natural origin ecotype,but subspecies glomerata was likely to belong to naturalization species.Because of the competing threat from the subspecies glomerata,it is necessary to reinforce the protection and utilization studies about the subspecies himalayensis.

    Abstract:
    China is one of the major origin centres of Vitis species, and has lots of grape species and inherited resource in the world. There are 40 species, 1 subspecies and 13 varieties originated from China. According to the “description standard and data standard for grape (Vitis L.)”, taking a number of character index as a identification parameters, the genetic. diversity of 23 Chinese wild grape species were analysised by identifying botany characteristics and agronomic traits.The results showed that Chinese wild grape had rich diversity in main phenophase, young shoot down, young shoot color, blade shape, blade color, teeth, berry size, skin color, berry flavor, floral organs and so on, with abundant genetic diversity. It can provide reference for classification,evolution and breeding of vitis . It is suggested that “description standard and data standard for grape (Vitis L.)” for further revision and improvement, in order to adapt Chinese wild vitis resource diversity evaluation research.

    Abstract:
    To understand the genus Fragaria resources distributed in the south of Qinling Mountain in Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province of China, the wild strawberries were surveyed during 2019-2021 (latitude, 32°49′46″ to 33°19′38″; longitude, 106°09′23″ to 106°40′23″). The investigation sites include eight villages of three counties (Mengjiahe Village and Wangjiazhuang Village in Lueyang County; Erliba Village and Dashuya Village in Ningqiang County; Liziba Village, Lijiagou Village, Qiuqiya Village and Toudaohe Village in Mi'an County). A total of 57 wild strawberry accessions were collected in this survey. These accessions were identified and classified into three Fragaria species including Fragaria nilgerrensis Schlect., F. chinensis Lozinsk. and F. pentaphylla Lozinsk. (white-fruited), and two types including F. pentaphylla pink-fruited genotype and F. pentaphylla red-fruited genotype through botanical character observation and ploidy identification. Among them, F. pentaphylla was found to be predominant in population. These wild strawberries were found in the vertical space of 849 - 1352 m above sea level, such as mountains, forests, streams, roadsides, barren fields and rock walls. We provided the characters of the collected Fragaria species in detail, and proposed the suggestions on the protection and utilization of local wild strawberry resources.

    Abstract:
    Leaf color is usually determined by the number, structure, and photosynthetic characters of the chloroplast. Isolation of the functional genes in leaf discoloration mutants of the C4 model plant foxtail millet and deciphering their functions is a way to disclose the regulation mechanism of C4 plant chloroplast biogenesis, development and photosynthesis. In this study, a stripe-leaf mutant t122 was identified from the EMS-induced mutant library of the foxtail millet variety Yugu1. The mutant t122 was observed with developmental retardation, and irregular white stripes on leaves. In contrast to the wild type, the significant decrease on the plant height, leaf length, leaf width, main panicle diameter, main panicle weight, and seed setting rate was observed in t122 mutant, whereas an increase on the panicle number per plant was detected. The photosynthetic capacity of t122 was impaired. By the leaf anatomy analysis, no significant difference in the distance between leaf veins, the number of cell layers between vascular bundles, and the cross-sectional cell area of leaves was observed in t122; however, an increased on the leaf cell length was detected. The ultrastructural observation of chloroplasts showed that, in t122 the chloroplasts showing functional structure were only detected in subsets of leaf cells. The segregation analysis suggested that the stripe-leaf trait of t122 was controlled by a single recessive nuclei-encoding gene. Using the method of MutMap, the candidate gene was mapped to the region of 24.0 Mb - 30.0 Mb on chromosome 3. Collectively, these results laid a good foundation for future cloning and functional characterization of the stripe-leaf gene in foxtail millet.

    Abstract:
    Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) is an important oilseed and economic crop in China. Oleic content and linoleic content of peanut seed add up to 80%. Oleic acid is an important factor that affects physical and chemical stability and nutritional value of peanut oil. Breeding peanut variety with high oleic content is an important breeding objective of peanut quality to promote international competitiveness and meet domestic consumption demand since 2000. Increasing oleic content in peanut significantly improves the nutritional quality. In this paper, we summarize mutants of high oleic peanut, the genetic characteristics of high oleic acid content and analyse pedigree relationship of high oleic acid peanut varieties and developing methods. Our purpose is to improve high oleic breeding of China peanut.

    Abstract:
    Heat shock protein 90 (HSP90) widely mediated stress signal transduction, and plays an important role in the control of normal growth of human cells and in the promoting tumor cell development. At present, HSP90 has become forefront projects of cellular immunity, signal transduction and anti-cancer investigation. The physiological function of HSP90 start later in plant than in animal and fungi. Recent researches revealed that plant HSP90 plays an important role in development, environmental stress response and disease resistance. This paper discussed the molecular functions of HSP90, and systematically reviews latest progresses on molecular mechanism of plant HSP90 as well as improvement of plant resistance to facalitate broaden work.
