  Sporangia Size of Plasmopara viticola from Different Hosts and Determination of Pathogenicity Differentiation 2017, 7 (7):  10-16.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas16110025 Abstract + ( 1586 )   PDF ( 1389KB )   ( 1368 ) The aim is to reduce the economic loss of Plasmopara viticola. 19 accessions of Plasmopara viticola from different grapes were collected from different areas in Hunan, Fujian and Jiangxi. The sporangia size was determined, and the differences of pathogenicity in‘Hutai No. 8’,‘Summer Black’,‘Zuijinxiang’,‘Ziqiu Grape’and‘Victoria’were detected. The pathogenic bacteria were cultivated by moisture culture, and then were inoculated to the healthy leaves. The length was detected by sporangium germination method and the pathogenicity was determined by leaf- disc method. The results showed that the size of downy mildew bacterium sporangium from different grape varieties was different. The pathogenic bacteria sporangium from ‘Spine grape’was obviously greater than that of‘Kyoho Grape’and‘Red Earth’. The bacterial strain from Jiangxi had generally stronger pathogenicity, but the bacterial strain from Hunan had generally weaker pathogenicity. European- American cross species grape, such as‘Hutai No. 8’,‘Summer Black’and ‘Zuijinxiang’had relatively low pathogenicity. European-Asian cross species and East Asian species, such as ‘Victoria’and‘Ziqiu Grape’had relative high pathogenicity. The above result indicates that there is a certain differentiation in the pathogenicity and sporangium size of downy mildew collected from different hosts.

  Research Progress of Organic-inorganic Fertilizer Combined Application System 李壮 and 赵秉强 2017, 7 (7):  22-30.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas17020011 Abstract + ( 1792 )   PDF ( 1155KB )   ( 1844 ) The authors reviewed the influence of organic fertilizer, inorganic fertilizer and organic-inorganic fertilizer combined application on crop yield and quality, soil fertility and nitrogen loss in farmland, and reiterated the superiority of organic- inorganic fertilizer combined application. The response of organicinorganic fertilization could be mainly affected by the quantity and intensity of available nutrients. The rational organic- inorganic fertilizer combined application could make available nutrients meet the demand of crop growth without environmental risks. Several factors should be considered in the practice of organic-inorganic fertilizer combined application, including soil fundamental fertility, fertilization level, organic fertilizer type and climate condition. This study indicated that reducing the proportion of chemical fertilizer in the combined application of organic-inorganic fertilizer, on the premise of satisfying crop demand, could be the key measure to reduce environmental negative impact.

On the basis of correlation analysis, adding experiments with the chemical components which were highly correlated with phenol release amounts in mainstream cigarette smoke were done. Results showed that the flue-cured tobacco leaves from Huanghuai region had the highest phenol release amount in the mainstream cigarette smoke, the tobacco leaves from the southeast region had the second, and those from the other three tobacco regions had much lower phenol release amounts. The release amounts of phenol in the mainstream cigarette smoke from leaves of different stem positions had an order as: upper leaves> middle leaves> lower leaves. The release amount of phenol in the mainstream cigarette smoke had highly and significantly negative correlation with total sugar, reducing sugar, nonvolatile organic acids, hexane extract, K/Cl and pH value. The release amount of phenol in the mainstream cigarette smoke had highly and significantly positive correlation with nicotine, total alkaloids, volatile bases, total nitrogen, ammonia, free amino acid, chlorogenic acid, higher aliphatic acid and total solanesol. The release amount of phenol in the mainstream cigarette smoke had significantly positive correlation with cellulose, scopoletin, rutin, and had no obvious correlation with tobacco pectin and ether extract. The regression model of the phenol release amounts in the mainstream cigarette smoke was established by multiple regression analysis, which could explain 80.4% changes of the dependent variable, and could accurately predict the phenol release amount in mainstream smoke. Experimental results of sucrose, glucose, malic acid, citric acid, chlorogenic acid, nicotine and solanesol as additives were similar to the correlation analysis data. However, the experimental result of proline as the additive disagreed with the correlation analysis data.

Two grain sizes of 3-5 mm and less than 3 mm of spent mushroom substrates from Agrocybe aegirit were adopted in this experiment, they were composited with red mud for watermelon plug seedling based on different proportions and the differences of each index of watermelon seedlings with different substrates were analyzed. It turned out that the index such as seedling rate, dry matter accumulation and strong seedling showed a rising tendency with the increase of volume proportion of spent mushroom substrates of Agrocybe aegirit in composited substrate. While various indexes of watermelon seedlings decreased when the volume proportion of spent mushroom substrates in composited substrate exceeded 70%. The substrate was fit for plug seedling of watermelon when the volume proportion of spent mushroom substrates in composited substrate kept at 70%, and the spent mushroom substrates with small grain size were more conducive to the growth of watermelon seedling compared with composited substrate with large grain size. Therefore, the substrate through composting spent mushroom substrates of Agrocybe aegirit and red mud could be used for watermelon plug seedling, with small grain sizes (<3 mm) and the proportion of spent mushroom substrates: red mud as 7:3.
