  Identification of Ax1/Ax2* and Dx5 Subunit of Wheat HMW Glutenin By Duplex AS-PCR 2013, 3 (5):  8-11.  Abstract + ( 1062 )   PDF ( 1136KB )   ( 1238 ) It has been demonstrated that Ax1/Ax2* and Dx5 are normally associated with wheat flour superior end-use quality, especially dough strength. This paper was designed to improve the molecular marker identification efficiency by the duplex allele-specific polymerase chain reaction (Duplex AS-PCR). In distinguishing the high molecular weight glutenin subunit, the results of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) proved that the established duplex AS-PCR was credible. The genes of Ax1/Ax2* and Dx5 could be identified simultaneously in this polymerase chain reaction system. The presence of 1500 bp and 478 bp bands showed Ax1/Ax2* and Dx5 genes, respectively. A total of 21 wheat cultivars abroad were tested by the duplex allele-specific PCR-based assay and the frequencies of Ax1/Ax2* and Dx5 were 33.3% and 52.4%, respectively. In conclusion, the amplification reaction system was stable, and it could be used to simultaneously identify Ax1/Ax2* and Dx5 subunits, so it would be very helpful for marker-assisted selection of new wheat varieties with high quality.

  Effect of Magnesium Fertilizer of Lead Bioavailability of Soil 2013, 3 (5):  26-30.  Abstract + ( 1142 )   PDF ( 1133KB )   ( 1243 ) Lead (Pb) contamination of soil poses severe health risks to humans through vegetable consumption. In order to reduce the lead bioavailability of lead-contaminated soil, alleviate lead harm to crops. A soil pot experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of magnesium fertilizer on lead bioavailability of soil. The trial crop is spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.). The experiment design was the randomized complete block with four replications. Three rates of magnesium fertilizer (75, 150, 300 mg/kg soil) and two lead concentrations (125, 1000 mg/kg soil) were employed. The results showed that the different lead concentrations had significant influence on the growth, fresh yield and nutrient uptake of spinach. The stronger of lead concentration, the grater of lead harm to plants. Appropriate application of magnesium fertilizer in lead-contaminated soil can promote spinach growth, increase fresh yield, enhance the contents of leaf chlorophyll and vitamin C, and increase the amount of N, P and K absorbed by spinach plants. Correlation analysis revealed that the relationship between the amount of magnesium absorbed and the amount of lead absorbed by spinach plants was significantly positive correlation. This study indicated that appropriate application of magnesium fertilizer can reduce lead bioavailability in the lead-contaminated soil, alleviate lead harm to plants, increase production and improve quality. It has certain direct function to improve slight lead-contaminated soils and high yield and high quality production of spinach.
