Its leaf area index reached 7.0 in heading filling period, the grain number per spike was 112.7, and the actual yield was 11278.5 kg/hm2, all were higher than that of the other rice cultivars. Through comparison,‘JiJing 105’showed better processing and appearance quality. Therefore,‘JiJing 105’, which had short growth period, high spike rate, outstanding economic character and high yield, was fit for promotion in Ningxia.

  Maize Yield and Related Traits Under Different Salt Stresses 2016, 6 (3):  6-11.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas15090011 Abstract + ( 1661 )   PDF ( 1198KB )   ( 1182 ) Salt stress, as one of the major abiotic stresses, severely limits crop productivity. Study on salinity effects on maize seedling growth and yield components would improve management practices in fields and increase the understanding of salt tolerance mechanism of maize.‘Suyu 10’and‘Suyu 30’with salt tolerance were selected to evaluate the effects of different salinities on maize grain yield and traits related to yield. The results indicated that the grain yield decreased linearly with salinity increase, under the salinity of 1.5 g/kg soil, the grain yield of‘Suyu 10’and‘Suyu 30’accounted for 54.2% and 64.3% of that without salt stress. Among yield components, kernel number per ear was more sensitive to salinity than 100- kernel weight. Biomass (fresh and dry weight) at jointing stage correlated positively with grain yield. Among salt tolerance indexes including relative fresh weight, relative dry weight, relative water content and relative grain yield, relative grain yield was better for characterizing salt resistance, differences among various salinity gradients reached a significant level. It was concluded that under the salt stress of 1.5g/kg soil, the yield of maize was only about 60% of that without salt stress, and the breeding of salt tolerant maize, especially the salt tolerance at seedling stage, should be strengthened.

Toxicity test for eggs of E. oblique was conducted at the concentration of 0.1, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/mL, respectively, and the corresponding hatch rate was 21.9%, 16.2%, 18.2%, 11.7%, 7.7%, 6.2%, 5.4%, 5.9%, respectively. This result indicated that toxicity effect on eggs of E. oblique increased with the increase of tea saponin concentration. Leaves were dipped in tea saponin solution at the concentration of 1, 2, 4, 8 mg/mL, respectively, and then fed the third instar larvae of E. oblique. The results showed that all the larvae survived, meaning that tea saponin had no significant toxicity on the third instar larvae of E. oblique. Antifeeding effect of tea saponin on the third instar larvae was also determined. The results indicated that tea saponin had antifeeding effect on the third instar larvae and the effect increased with the increase of the concentration. When the concentration of tea saponin was at 4, 8 mg/mL, the antifeeding rate was 80.0%, 85.7%, respectively. Body length and weight of the third, fourth and fifth instar larvae which were treated by tea saponin had no significant difference compared with that of the control group, indicating that feeding tea saponin at or below the concentration of 8 mg/mL had no significant effect on the growth and development of E. oblique.
