• The effect of root pruning and shoot pruning on net photosynthetic rate ( Pn) , transpiration rate (Tr) , stomatal conductance (Gs) , leaf water use efficiency (WUE) , and the reason causing the changes in WUE were explored in potted five2year old apple (Malus pumila Mill/ Malus hupenensis Rhed) trees. The results showed that root pruning increased WUE obviously from the second day to the 42th day after treatment . In the mean time ,
  Tr and Gs decreased obviously , but Pn and carboxylation efficiency (CE) recovered rapidly and was higher than control on the seventh day of treatment . The total number of new roots and the concentration of zeatin riboside (ZR) in leaf restored to the control level after 28 days of treatment . Shoot pruning increased Pn、CE、Tr 、Gs and the concentration of ZR , but WUE heighten a little over control after 28 days of treatment . Pn、CE、Tr and Gs all decreased on the second day after both root and shoot pruning , then on the 21th day , Pn and CEwas higher than control , Tr and Gs went up to the control level , so the WUE had a little rise in the late stage of treatment . It is proposed that root pruning increased WUE by decreasing Gs significantly and shoot pruning increased WUE by increasing CE.

• Abstract ( 1430 ) HTML ( 1306 ) PDF (191KB) ( 1306 ) 　　　
• Changes of H₂O₂ content in buds associated with the endodormancy of some stone fruit tree and grape cultivars were studied. The results indicated that the H₂O₂ contents of dormancy buds were different due to different tree species and cult ivars. The trend was that H₂O₂ content of late􀀁maturing cultivars was higher than that of early maturing cultivars, and H₂O₂ content in flower bud was higher than that of vegetative bud; but grape cultivars were reverse. Dynamic state of H₂O₂ content in dormancy bud took on a trend of rising steadily in earlier stage and dropping quickly in later stage. The time which the H₂O₂ content dropped sharply was consistent with the
  t ime of endodormancy release. Temperature affected the dormant bud H₂O₂ content : low temperature (5 ℃) obviously raised the H2O2 content , middle temperature (10 ℃) only raised the H₂O₂ content slightly, but high
  temperature (20 ℃) lead to the drop of the H₂O₂ content. Spraying regulators of ABA ( 50 mg.L^-1) obviously raised the H₂O₂ content of dormant bud, however, 100 mg.L^-1 GA₃ and 6-BA reduced the H₂O₂ content. Chemicals of dormancy release of thiourea and KNO₃ had obvious effects on H₂O₂ content of stone fruits, CaCN₂ had no effect on stone fruit trees but affected the H₂O₂ content of grape cultivars.

• Abstract ( 1710 ) HTML ( 1352 ) PDF (185KB) ( 1352 ) 　　　
• The effect of cold shock treatment on softening of postharvcest‘Baxi’bananas was investigated. The results showed that the treatment of - 2-0 ℃ cold air for 2. 5 h significantly delayed fruit softening. Cold shock treatment inhibited the activities of polygalacturonase and amylase , and delayed the degradations of pectin and starch which resulted in a delay in fruit softening and a maintainance of fruit firmness. However , cold shock treatment did not affect the pectinesterase activity which decreased gradually during fruiting softening.

• The hybrids were produced by a cross between Brassica oleracea var. capitata and B . oleracea var. alboglabra. A total of 300 random primers were initially screened using two parents , of which 150 showed polymorphism between two parents. The ratio of polymorphism primers is 58. 3 %. 96 F₂ individuals were analyzed using 52 10 bp random primers to select polymorphic , stable and repeatable fragment in preliminary segregation
  analysis. Most (95. 8 %) of the segregating fragments followed the expected 3∶1 Mendelian segregation ; 4. 2 % showed significant segregation distortion. This shows that the population is suited for analysis of QTLs. There were two pairs of RAPD markers which showed cosegregation. A genetic linkage map of B. oleracea was constructed based on the segregation of 96 RAPD polymorphic loci in one F₂ population of B. oleracea var. capitata ×B.oleracea var. alboglabra. The genetic markers defined nine linkage groups, covering 555. 7 recombination units.

• Abstract ( 1628 ) HTML ( 1460 ) PDF (218KB) ( 1460 ) 　　　
• Cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. ) anthers had lower Put , Spm, Spd contents and higher free proline (Pro) contents at anthesis than those at pollen mother cell formation stage and monokaryotic pollen stage, high temperature (35 ℃/ 20 ℃) could reduce Put , Spm , Spd contents at stage 1 and stage 2, and reduce Pro contents in anthers and pollens at anthesis. During cucumber pollen culturing, Put, Spm, Spd contents reached max in 1 h then descended, Pro contents descended gradually, Put, Spm, Spd contents decreased and Pro contents increased when cucumber pollen germinated under high temperature ( 35 ℃) . In heat sensitive line Xintaimici , the effects of high temperature on physiological processes above were more serious than those in heat tolerant line XC-1 and NY-1 , which indicated polyamine and Pro might play a key role in cucumber anther development and pollen germination. Gabaculine, a inhibitor of ornithine aminotransferase, could inhibit cucumber pollen germination, improve polyamine contents and reduce Pro contents during pollen germination, which indicated there might be a Pro to polyamine biochemistry route during cucumber pollen germination.

• Abstract ( 1449 ) HTML ( 1061 ) PDF (197KB) ( 1061 ) 　　　
• Sweet pepper (Cap sicum annuum L. ) grown in water culture was used to study the distribution dynamics of nitrogen absorbed at early flowering stage with ¹⁵N tracer technique. The results obtained are as follows: The nitrogen concentration in root and fruit was kept steady from the early picking stage. In the leaves it decreased rapidly with growth and development and was not much different from the root and fruit at the profuse fruiting stage but it was two times higher than that in the stem and branch. The nitrogen accumulat ion dynamics was similar to the accumulation dynamics of the dry matter. Most of the labeled nitrogen, which was absorbed at early flowering stage by root, have been remained in leaves and its translocation ratio was 50. 6% from the leaves to the new organs after two weeks, and 57. 1% and 58. 0% after 4 weeks and 6 weeks respectively, indicating the new absorbed nitrogen is easier to be translocated. The labeled nitrogen in fruit harvested 2 weeks after early flowering stage make up 3. 24% of the total labeled nitrogen absorbed at early flowering stage and 11. 12% , 4. 49%, 4. 75% for the fruits harvested 3, 4 and 6 weeks after early flowering stage respectively. It is indicated that fruit is the strong nitrogen sink in the plant of sweet pepper. It is the fruit that have the most competit ive ability of
  nitrogen.

• A propagation method of Cymbidium eburneum var. parishii (Rchb. f . ) Hook. f . by in vitro culture of seeds and shoot-tips , and the morphogenesis of protocorms from the cultured seeds are described in this paper. The germination capacity of young seed was very low but became prominently higher when it reached five months old. Although seeds could germinate on basal medium , addition of coconut milk , or NAA and KT to the medium clearly stimualted the germination of seed. After germination , The embryos developed into PLBs, which latter multiplicated and differentiated into leaves and roots , to form complete plantlet . It took more than seven months for seeds to develop to plantlets after sowing. Protocorm2like bodies (PLBs) were induced from shoot-tip explants in MS medium supplemented with NAA 0. 1 mg·L^-1, BA 3. 0 mg·L^-1 and coconut milk 10 %. PLBs multiplicated in MS medium supplemented with NAA 0. 1 mg·L^-1 and BA 5. 0 mg·L^-1. Plantlets were induced from PLBs in the media without any hormone. Roots were induced in 1/ 2 MS medium supplemented with 7 % banana juice and 3 % potato juice. The multiplication rate of PLBs were influenced by different light intensity, culture state and pH value significantly.

• Abstract ( 1569 ) HTML ( 1333 ) PDF (155KB) ( 1333 ) 　　　
• Slices of ‘Fuji’apple fruit which was stored at 0 - 4 ℃ for 1 month were treated with different concentrations of CaCl2 to evaluate the influence of exogenous Ca²⁺ on changes of their ethylene productions. The results showed that Ca²⁺ enhanced the ethylene production when CaCl₂ concentrations were lower than 350 mmol·L^-1, while it inhibited the ethylene production when Ca²⁺ concentration was higher than 350 mmol·L^-1. During 0 - 12 h period of treatment , lower level of Ca²⁺ (80 mmol·L^-1) produced more ethylene continuously , while the higher level of Ca²⁺ (500 mmol·L^-1) inhibited ethylene production steadily. Not only low concentration of Ca²⁺ is a factor of cation to stimulate ethylene production , but Mg²⁺ and Mn²⁺ also showed the similar effect as Ca²⁺ did. La³⁺ (the inhibitor of Ca²⁺) and trifluoperazine (the inhibitor of CaM) inhibited ethylene production in the presence of low Ca²⁺(80 mmol·L^-1) treatment .

• Changes in betaine level in leaves of potted pear (Pyrus bretschneideri Rehd. ) , jujube (Zizyphus jujuba Mill . ) and grapevine (Vitis vinifera L. ) plants during water stress period were measured. The results showed that there existed in full water supply conditions some amount of betaine in the leaves of pear , jujube and grapevine. Light water stress induced sensitively a rise of betaine level in pear mature leaves. There was not found the increase in betaine level of either jujube or grapevine subjected to water stress. The results in the detached leaves suggested that the water stress-induced betaine in pear could be biosynthesized independently by leaves.
