  The Relationship Between Non-structural Carbohydrates and Rice Spikelet Formation: A Review Dong Minghui, Jiang Yi, Chen Peifeng, Zhao Buhong, Gu Junrong 2020, 10 (10):  1-6.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas19040021 Abstract + ( 634 )   HTML ( 8 )   PDF ( 1214KB )   ( 385 ) To further study the mechanism of non-structural carbohydrates (NSC) during the differentiation and development of young panicles and the formation of spikelets in rice, this study comprehensively analyzed the characteristics of spikelet formation in rice, cleared the relationship between the differentiation and development of young panicle and the metabolism of assimilates, the relationship between the development of young panicle and non-structural carbohydrates, then discussed the relationship between sugar signal and hormone signal and its mechanism of regulating young panicle development is believed panicle. It is believed that the easy degeneration of secondary spikelets and the unstable number of grains per panicle of large panicle type rice are closely related to NSC. The regulating of soluble sugar and plant hormones play an important role in regulating the differentiation and development of young panicles. By studying the metabolic characteristics of NSC and the accumulation and decomposition of soluble sugar components, endogenous hormone level in rice spike, protein expression, key metabolic enzyme activity at the different spike developmental stages, and using the different panicle type rice varieties as materials, we could explore the internal relationship between sugar signal and hormone in NSC, and hormone balance related protein expression and metabolic enzyme activity and spike grain number, aiming to construct the cultivation techniques for promoting spikelet differentiation and reducing degradation by adjusting the NSC metabolic.

  Breeding and Trait Analysis of a New Drought-Resistant Wheat Variety ‘Xinmai 39’ Wang Yinghong, Cheng Yumin, Zhao Liangjin, Ma Huaping, Ma Xiaohong, Dong Yun 2020, 10 (10):  7-11.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas19040023 Abstract + ( 567 )   HTML ( 14 )   PDF ( 1253KB )   ( 1306 ) To develop excellent germplasm resources for drought-resistant breeding of wheat and to make better use of existing drought-resistant varieties, the breeding process of a new drought-resistant wheat variety ‘xinmai39’ was expounded, and the high productivity of this variety was analyzed by using the gray correlation degree. The results showed that the weighted correlation degree of ‘xinmai39’ was higher than that of the CK ‘luohan7’ in the three groups of two growing seasons, which was consistent with the statistical analysis results. The grey correlation degree analysis was conducted on the yield and three yield components of ‘xinmai39’ within the same site in the three groups of two growing seasons. All results showed that the contribution of thousand kernel weight > spike numbers per hectare, and the contribution of grain number per spike to grain yield was different. Therefore, ‘xinmai39’ is a new drought-resistant variety with high productivity, which can be extended and applied in arid and semi-arid regions, and it is also a new drought-resistant germplasm resource.

  Ear Characters of Summer Maize: Response to Planting Density Liu Xingzhou, Li Meng, Chen Ruiji, Fu Hua, Ma Guimei, Zhou Yanhu, Zhang Jian 2020, 10 (10):  12-18.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas20190700130 Abstract + ( 769 )   HTML ( 11 )   PDF ( 1267KB )   ( 350 ) To explore the response of ear characters of summer maize to different densities and the effect on yield composition, reveal the coordination relationship between ear characters, and provide a scientific basis for the high-yield dense-planting of new summer maize varieties, different density treatments were set up with ‘Hongda 216’ and ‘Kenfeng 101’ as experimental materials. Through determining ear row number, grain number per row and 1000-grain weight, the response of ear characters to planting density of summer maize was studied. The results showed that under different planting densities, the yield of each variety increased first and then decreased with the density, which was in line with the quadratic curve relationship. Correlation analysis showed that row number and ear length were extremely and significantly correlated with the yield, and the bald tip length was significantly correlated with the yield. The compact maize variety ‘Hongda 216’ had a very significant correlation between the ear row number and the yield, while the semi-compact maize variety ‘Kenfeng 101’ had a very significant correlation between the 1000-grain weight and the yield. Under the condition of rational close planting, it is easier to achieve high yield by coordinating the relationship between ear length, ear rows, row grains, and 1000-grain weight through fertilizer and water measures.

  Main Agronomic Traits of Millet Varieties in Shanxi: Correlation and Principal Component Analysis Yang Huiqing, Wang Genquan, Hao Xiaofen, Wang Xiaoyu, Cheng Qiaolin, Qin Yuzhong 2020, 10 (10):  19-23.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas20190700145 Abstract + ( 493 )   HTML ( 7 )   PDF ( 1180KB )   ( 367 ) To clarify the relationship among main agronomic traits of millet varieties in Shanxi, we analyzed 10 agronomic traits of 11 millet varieties by adopting the correlation analysis and principal component analysis. The results showed that: the variation range of agronomic traits was 1.94%-13.39%; the variation range of agronomic traits from big to small was single ear weight, grain weight per spike, yield, ear length, plant height, weight of thousand-grain, the number of days from emergence to heading, the number of days from heading to maturity, grain percentage and fertility period; 5 traits such as the number of days from heading to maturity, single ear weight, grain weight per spike, weight of thousand-grain and grain percentage were positively correlated with yield, among them, the number of days from heading to maturity was significantly and positively correlated with yield (P<0.05), the number of days from emergence to heading was significantly and negatively correlated with the number of days from heading to maturity (P<0.01), and the number of days from emergence to heading was significantly and positively correlated with fertility period (P<0.01). Among all the principal components’ analysis, the first three principal components were the focus, and their cumulative contribution rate to variance was 75.20%. In the comprehensive traits evaluation and breeding of high-yield varieties, grain weight per spike is the key to increase the yield, at the same time, comprehensive consideration should be paid to other traits, and varieties with high single ear weight, low plant height, moderate fertility period, ear length and grain percentage should be selected.

The results showed that salt could improve the cooking quality and texture quality of fresh rice noodles. At the same time, the addition of salt decreased the cooking loss and broken rate of fresh rice noodles. Salt could also improve the fresh rice noodles’ elasticity and tensile properties, and decrease the shearing force and hardness. Compared with the control group, 4% salt added in fresh rice noodles could reduce the cooking loss to 50%, and the hardness by 11.6%; the L value and the whiteness value were the highest, which were 52.21 and 50.06, respectively, resulting in good color appearance. Meanwhile, the molecular pores of fresh rice noodles with 4% salt adding amount became smaller, and the network structure was uniform and dense. Therefore, the optimum dosage of salt is determined to be 4%.

  The Grading Determination of Rice Blast: HSV Color Space Method Based on Machine Vision Liu Yongbo, Lei Bo, Hu Liang, Tang Jiangyun, Cao Yan, Yin Yalin 2020, 10 (10):  83-90.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas20190700108 Abstract + ( 522 )   HTML ( 11 )   PDF ( 1698KB )   ( 519 ) The purpose is to develop a grading system for the disease course of rice blast based on machine vision technology, so as to realize accurate and objective classification of the disease course of rice blast. Based on GrabCut, gaussian filter, OTSU binarization, color space conversion, threshold cutting, etc., an algorithm model of rice blast classification judgment was proposed. The algorithm model is implemented by OpenCV and python, and the reverse threshold cutting is taken as the core strategy to separate the leaves from the diseased spots, and then the percentage of diseased spots is calculated by the cyclic traversal model to realize the rapid and accurate classification of rice blast. The result of the algorithm model matches the manual judgment by professional researchers up to 95.77%. Compared with the manual judgment, the algorithm model has higher stability and objectivity. At present, the classification of disease course of rice blast mainly depends on the experience judgment of researchers. Objective and accurate determination of disease course is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of rice blast. Mobile phone APP is used as image acquisition port, which does not rely on other instruments and equipment and could obtain accurate grading results of rice blast in real time, reduce the threshold of research and improve the efficiency of scientific research.

This thesis uses 1237 farmer household survey data in the main grain producing areas (Jiangxi) to empirically analyze the impact of agricultural division and farmer differentiation on the mechanized services of major rice production links by constructing Probit and Tobit models. Research shows that: (1) as to the land cultivation process, among the variables related the division of labor (the number of outsourcing of agricultural production, the rate of rice commercialization) and the differentiation of farmers (the proportion of non-agricultural employment, the small farmers and large-scale farmers divided by rice planting area), except the rice commercialization rate, the remaining variables all have a significant impact on the use of mechanized services by farmers; (2) in the harvesting process, the variables related to agricultural division and farmer differentiation have a significant impact on the use of mechanized services by farmers; (3) in view of the comprehensive mechanization service level of rice cultivation, planting and harvesting, the relevant variables of agricultural division and farmer differentiation have a significant impact on the comprehensive mechanized service level. Based on these results, the following suggestions are put forward, including taking effective measures to deepen the agricultural division of labor, reasonably guiding small farmers to organically link up with modern agricultural development, and improving agricultural machinery service environment.

  Land Transfer in Promoting the Land Market System in Beijing Suburb: Current State and Suggestions Zhao Wen, Gu Peng, Hong Zhijie, Liang Jingjing, Lu Hanning 2020, 10 (10):  98-100.  DOI: 10.11923/j.issn.2095-4050.cjas20200300072 Abstract + ( 429 )   HTML ( 6 )   PDF ( 1148KB )   ( 382 ) In recent years, as China expedites its process to market-orientation and urbanization, and the factor market in urban and rural areas becomes brisker year by year, separation of rural land ownership rights, contract rights, and management rights is steadily advanced all over the country. To make further study on the development of land market system nationwide, the article takes Beijing as an example, mainly focusing on how to complete separation of rural land ownership rights, contract rights, and management rights in the meantime of urbanization, on the premise of not changing the nature of land ownership, and guaranteeing farmers’ expected income from land management. By literature study and comparative analysis of land transfer data in the last decade, it is not difficult to point out that the duality of the factor market naturally causes the inconsistent development between urban and rural market. In the suburb of Beijing, problems including low intensity of land use, unreasonable right and interest allocation system, and unscientific overall planning are aroused. Therefore, all levels of government needs to provide guidance and support in the whole process of land transfer, which poses new challenges to the governance capacity of government and proposes new requirements for the reform of land use system.
