There was high yield, which involves a combination of no tillage and direct planting, in low-humic andosols with good soil crushing.

  Study on Cultivated Land Suitability Evaluation for Rice and Index Determination 2013, 3 (4):  19-24.  Abstract + ( 1462 )   PDF ( 1345KB )   ( 1414 ) Cultivated land is more important resources for all crops. In order to draw the planting plan and utilize cultivated land properly, a case was determined to Yizheng City in Jiangsu Province. Considering climate, soils, landform, environment of Yizheng City, 13 indexes were sieved and determined for rice suitability evaluation for cultivated land of Yizheng City, and hierarchical analysis model and membership function model were built based on Yizheng Cultivated Land Resources Management Information System. The results indicated that, according as accumulative curve and clustering analytical method, these cultivated land areas were plotted out 4 zone, including the best suitable zone, suitable zone, little suitable zone and not suitable zone. Cultivated land areas in the best suitable zone counted 10.20% for the whole areas. Cultivated land areas in the suitable zone and little suitable zone counted 56.08%, 25.50% for the whole areas, respectively. Cultivated land areas in the not suitable zone counted 8.22% for the whole areas. To validate the veracity for rice suitability evaluation, the actual yield of rice were investigated in the Yizheng City, and the rice yield of 319 croplands was recorded. There was a positive relationship between actual rice yield form investigation and suitability index obtained in the evaluation (R2=0.1964, 319 samples). The trend of results between actual yield of rice and rice suitability evaluation were consilient, and the suitability index could reflect rice yield of cultivated land.

  Correlation and Path Analysis of Quantitative Characters Among F3 Generation ofSea Urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius 2013, 3 (4):  42-47.  Abstract + ( 1387 )   PDF ( 1156KB )   ( 1369 ) To analyze the quality of growth and gonad among F3 generation of sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius comprehensively, 82 sea urchins Strongylocentrotus intermedius were randomly chosen from 12 families, the body traits and the main nutrients of gonad were measured and then analyzed. The body traits include test traits (test height, test diameter, test wet weight, test dry weight), Aristotle’s lantern traits (Aristotle’s lantern height, Aristotle’s lantern diameter, Aristotle’s lantern weight), body weight and gonad wet weight. The nutrition traits include total protein content, total fatty content and four kinds of high polyunsaturated fatty acid (C20:4, C20:5, C22:5, C22:6) composition of the gonad. The mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation of body traits and nutrition traits between different genders were calculated among F3 generation of sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius, and the correlation of quantitative characters was analyzed. The results showed that, among F3 generation of sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius, the female group’s traits were a little better than the male’s, but not significant (P>0.05). The body traits were highly significantly correlated (P<0.01). The correlation between test diameter and weight was the most significant, and between Aristotle’s lantern and weight was less significant. About the nutrient composition, the correlation between C20:4 (AA) and C20:5 (EPA) was highly significant (P<0.01); and between C22:5 and C22:6 (DHA) was significant (P<0.05). It might show that the content of high polyunsaturated fatty acid would correlate significantly when having the same number of carbon atom. Among the nutrient composition, test height, test diameter and weight, there was no significant correlation (P>0.05). And most of the correlation was negtive. So it should be considered seperately when carrying out the selective breeding. The results provided a basis for evaluating the breeding potential and further selection of sea urchin; they also provided a method and theory reference for the quality breeding of sea urchin, the were a temporary summary of sea urchin breeding results.

  Heredity of Recessive Gene in Pea and Its Breeding Applications 2013, 3 (4):  48-54.  Abstract + ( 1279 )   PDF ( 1238KB )   ( 1404 ) Because of the qualities which pea have such as easy to homozygous of recessive genes and stabilize genetic substance, easy to observe phenotypes and select traits, we conducted the study of researching pea’s genetics of recessive genes. And the goals of our study are breeding of high-quality and high-yielding pea varieties and improving the breeding efficiency. The materials that used in this study were two pea varieties. One is dwarf semi-leafless white round pea with white flower and hard pod. The other is high stalk normal lobule brown coved pea with purple flower and edible pod. Through hybridization, the study aimed to breed new pea variety with high quality, high yield and lodging resistance. And the results were: seeds in F1 were white and round, and the plants showed the characters of high stalk, normal lobule, purple flower and hard pod. The seed color and plant apparent characters of F2 accorded with dominant-recessive separation ratio as 3:1 by the chi-square test. The observations of the traits leaf axillary cyanine in spots and purple flower showed the same numbers and it fitted the effect of complete-linkage; ‘Suwan4’ had been breed that showed all the above recessive genotypes such as dwarf, semi-leafless, white flower and high yield. The successful breeding of ‘Suwan4’ provided many breeding materials with recessive genes for pea breeding. Utilization of apparent selective of recessive genes could confirm the selection target for breeding earlier, select the characters in the aspects of high yield and resistance, which for the purpose of accelerating the breeding process, especially has very important effect in the selecting of characters controlled by one pair or two pairs of dominant-recessive genes.
