• Effects of exogenous NO₃^-on sucrose, glucose, fructose and starch contents as well as sucrose synthase(SS) disassemble activity, sucrose synthase synthesis activity, neutral invertase activity（NI）and acid invertase activity（AI）in roots of sweet cherry ( Prunus. avium. 'Daihong') with P.pseudocerasus var Daqingye as rootstock under water-logging condition were studied. The results showed that under water-logging condition, sucrose, glucose, fructose and starch in roots of sweet cherry increased significantly in the early period and then decreased in the later period in both treatment and control. Exogenous NO₃^-enhanced the contents of sucrose, glucose, fructose and starch, which were higher than control, while to the maximum, which were 18.02%, 21.97%, 25.27% and 11.41% higher than that of control respectively when reached to the maximum. The sucrose synthase disassemble activity in roots of sweet cherry increased to the highest level and then declined gradually in both treatment and control. Meanwhile, the sucrose synthase synthesis, NI and AI activities decreased gradually, but four enzymes activities of treatment were higher than that of control after using exogenous NO₃^-. We conclude that the addition of NO₃^- can enhance the tolerance of the roots of sweet cherry to hypoxia through regulation of sugar metabolism.

• With 'Hanfu' apple and its parents 'Dongguang' and 'Fuji' apples as the materials, the effects of weather conditions, seasonal factors and leaf position on the photosynthetic characteristics were studied by using CIRAS-1 Portable Photosynthesis System. The results showed that diurnal change of net photosynthetic rate (P_n) of leaves in 'Hanfu' apple and its parents was a typical bimodal curver in a sunny day, with two peaks (13.47μmol·m^-2·s^-1，12.46 μmol·m^-2·s^-1，11.21 μmol·m^-2·s^-1and 11.92 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, 10.94μmol·m^-2·s^-1, 9.84 μmol·m^-2·s^-1respectively) appeared at 10:00 and 14:00, respectively. And obvious "noon rest" phenomenon of Pn happened in daytime. As far as that was in a cloudy day, the curve changed into unimodal, with the peak (11.0 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, 10.2 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 and 10.3 μmol·m^-2·s^-1) appeared at around 12:00, and the diurnal mean Pn was 2.28 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, 2.86 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 and 2.86 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 below a sunny day. The seasonal variation of P_n of leaves in 'Hanfu' apple and its parents was found as an unsymmetrical double-peak curve, with two peaks appeared in the early July and September, respectively. The variation of P_nin leaves at differrent nodes on new shoots was a parabola type curve, and those at the upper and middle nodes were higher than that of lower nodes. The light compensation point (LCP) of leaves in 'Hanfu' apple and its parents were 5.9±1.8 μmolm^-2·s^-1, 21.1±1.4 μmol·m^-2·s^-1and 9.05±2.1 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, and the saturation point (LSP) were 1665±20 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, 1418±131 μmol·m^-2·s^-1 and 1300±56.6 μmol·m^-2·s^-1, respectively. The the CO2 compensation point(CCP) were 87.5±1.4 μmol·mol^-1, 84.2±5.9 μmol·mol^-1and 59.5±7.5 μmol·mol^-1 , and the saturation point(SC) were 2961±41 μmol·mol^-1, 1572±166 μmol·mol^-1 and 1381±23 μmol·mol^-1 respectively. The photosynthetic capacity of 'Hanfu' apple was stronger than that of its parents in both high and low light conditions to indicate that 'Hanfu' apple was a photophil and shade-tolerant plants.

• The effects of NAA, IBA, ZT and 6-BA on the growth and the changes on endogenous levels of PAs and nitric oxide were investigated by using regeneration system of Malus hupehensis Rehd. in vitro. As a result, the increase rate of fresh weight and the contents of protein, polyamines (PAs) and nitric oxide (NO) increased significantly in MS medium supplemented with 0.02-1.00 mg·L^-1 NAA or IBA, and the increases were the highest at concentrations of 0.10 - 0.50 mg·L^-1. One more thing，the effects of NAA on the increase rate of fresh weight and putrescine content were higher than that of IBA at the same concentration. With the increase concentration of ZT or 6-BA at 0.08 - 4.0 mg·L^-1, the increase rate of fresh weight, protein, PAs and NO contents increased gradually. Moreover, the effects of 6-BA on increase rate of fresh weight and putrescine content is higher than that of ZT at the same concentration. Auxin and cytokinin promoted the growth accompanied with the elevated production of PAs and NO, and the growth dynamics showed the similar trend with the contents of PAs and NO in explants in vitro.

• In this study, Pphmgr1 and Pphmgr2, two members of hmgr gene family which encodes α-farnesene metabolism rate-limiting enzyme HMGR were cloned from scald-susceptible sandy pear variety 'Cuiguan' peel, respectively. Pphmgr1 cDNA has an open reading frame of 1 827 nucleotides and encodes a polypeptide including 609 residues which relative molecular mass was 64.80 kD; while Pphmgr2 cDNA has an opening reading frame of 1 707 nucleotides and encodes a polypeptide including 569 residues which relative molecular mass was 60.21 kD. The deduced amino acid sequences were from Pphmgr1 and Pphmgr2 showed 90% and 98% homology with apple MdHMGR1 and MdHMGR2, respectively. Under high temperature shelf life condition (28~32 ℃), ethylene receptor inhibitor 1-MCP significantly decreased respiration rate and alleviated ethylene production rate. At the same time, α-farnesene and conjugated trienols contents were significantly decreased and occurring times of their peak values were postponed together. The semi-quantitative RT-PCR results showed that Pphmgr1 was constitutively expression, while expression of Pphmgr2 was inhibited by 1-MCP obviously. The results showed that under the experiment temperature conditions (28-32 ℃) 1-MCP inhibited ethylene metabolism and respiration rate so as to decrease the expression abundance of Pphmgr2, which probably directly led to the depression of α-farnesene synthetic metabolism and thus to reduce the superficial scald incidence of 'Cuiguan' pear after harvest at last.

• Parthenocarpy of 75 cucumber germplasm and cultivars was evaluated under greenhouse condition in spring season. The results showed that the parthenocarpy percentage of 75 accessions was continuously distributed from 0 to 100% . While 40 accessions were found strongly parthenocarpy (53.3%), 24 were medium (32%) and 11 were weakly parthenocarpic (14.7%). 20 out of the 24 cultivars were found as strong parthenocarpy (83.3%), and the rest was mid-parthenocarpy. The degree of parthenocarpy was expressed by the fruit set capability, and the fruit weight and fruit shape index of the seedless fruit present a good similarity with that of the seeded. The cucumber plants get stronger parthenocarpic with the nodes increase and the best evaluation should be done under 20th nodes.

• R3a and RB confer resistance to potato late blight by recognizing the effector protein Avr3a and Avrblb1 of Phytophthora infestans. R gene mediated resistance requires multiple signal transduction pathways. Virus-induced gene silencing (VIGS) is a powerful tool for studying genes participation in signal pathways. Eight genes, SIPK, NDR1, SGT1, HSP90, NPR1, Rar1, EDS1 and WRKY1 from other species are known to be involved in defence-related signal pathway. Expression of each gene was suppressed by VIGS in Nicotiana benthamiana and the effect was determined on Hypersensitive Response symptoms induced by RB-Avrblb1 and R3a-Avr3a. R3a- and RB-mediated resistance was compromised by the silencing of HSP90 and SGT1, suggesting that the RB-Avrblb1 and R3a-Avr3a interaction are dependent on ubiquitin ligase-associated protein SGT1 and heat-shock protein HSP90. The establishment of this system will identify new genes involved in resistance to late blight.

• To study different structural genes expression pattern in anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway of cineraria with different flower color, internal segments of five structural genes, chalcone synthase (CHS), chalcone isomerase (CHI), flavanone 3-hydroxylase (F3H), flavonoid 3'-hydroxylase (F3'H) and dihydroflavonol 4-reductase (DFR), were isolated from cineraria petals using RT-PCR. Using semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), the expression patterns of CHS, CHI, F3H, F3'H, DFR, flavonoid 3',5'-hydroxylase (F3'5'H) and anthocyanin 3-O-glucoside-6"-O-malonyltransferase (3MaT) in five developmental stages of cineraria with different flower colors were determined for the first time. The results indicated that there is no CHS transcript in white flowers. In red flowers, F3'H mRNA was expressed at high level. But no F3'5'H transcript was found. F3'5'H was highly expressed in Stage I but no F3'H mRNA was observed in blue flowers. And the transcripts of F3'H and F3'5'H were found in purple petals. In addition, these genes were expressed at high level in early stage and underwent moderate decreases in expression. Interestingly, genes expression level increased again in Stage IV. However, in Stage V, there is little expression level could be detected in petals.

• Using the squashing technique, meiosis and pollen development of Picea koraiensis were investigated. Our results showed that meiosis of Picea koraiensis started in spring and last about 2-3 months. The main configuration of bivalents was the ring ones caused by more than two times of chromosome exchanges on the arms. The rod-bivalents produced by chromosome exchange at only one arm were rarely observed. The microscopic appearance of meiosis in this species showed pronounced diffuse stage between pachytene and diplotene. Cytokinesis of Picea koraiensis is simultaneous type, resulting in tetrahedral tetrads. However, tetrad configurations were also affected by the orientations of the second meiotic axes leading to the formation of different shaped tetrads. At metaphase II, the spindle axis was occasionally oriented parallel to each other instead of perpendicular as expect theoretically, then the four haploid nuclei were kept in a transitory syncytium in tetragon. After callose wall was dissolved, independent single-nucleus pollens formed. After then, the haploid nucleolus underwent three cycles of mitotic division, resulting in the formation of four-celled pollen with two prothallial cells, one body cell and one tube cell. The pollen development of Picea koraiensis is similar to that recorded in Pinus.

• To determine the chilling tolerance of cucumber fruit after harvest, cucumber (Cucumis sativus L. ‘Jinyou 1’) fruit were stored at 2 °C for 9 days before ripening at 20 ℃ for 2 days. Chilling injury index, electrolyte leakage, activities of phospholipase D (PLD) and lipoxygenase (LOX), membrane-associated Ca²⁺ content in the calyx, middle and stalk sections of cucumber fruit were determined, respectively. Chilling injury occurred initially in the calyx area, and developed toward the middle and stalk end. After storage, chilling injury index, electrolyte leakage, activities of PLD and LOX in calyx section were highest, and lowest in stalk section of the fruit. Content of membrane-associated Ca²⁺ increased from calyx to stalk. Date indicated that increasing tolerance to chilling temperature from calyx to stalk of cucumber fruit was significantly related with the stimulation of PLD and LOX activities and decrease of membrane-associated Ca²⁺ content.

• We established a tissue culture system for efficient micropropagation of Japanese Photinia [Photinia glabra (Thunb.) Maxim.] by enhanced branching of axillary buds taken from branches of a single donor tree. The culture system consists of choosing the suitable explant coupled with sequential use of three media，namely，the bud-induction medium (MS medium supplemented with 1.2 mg·L^-1 BAP，0.2 mg·L^-1 NAA)，subculture medium (WPM medium added with 0.75 mg·L^-1 BAP，0.15 mg·L^-1 NAA) and root-induction medium (half-strength MS medium fortified with 2.5 mg·L^-1 IAA and 0.3 mg^-1 IBA). In addition，by using AFLP and MSAP markers we investigated the genetic and DNA methylation pattern stability of samples of 36 and 24 morphologically normal plants respectively，which were randomly taken from a population of more than 100 000 micropropagated plants established in the field. We found that of the 615 and 392 reproducible bands scored respectively for AFLP and MSAP，no evidence for occurrence of genetic or epigenetic instability. This，together with phenotypic uniformity of the micropropagated population，suggests that micropropagation through enhanced axillary bud branching ensured genetic and epigenetic fidelity of the donor plant in Japanese Photinia. Therefore，the protocol reported here can be readily employed for large-scale commercial propagation of this ornamental plant species.
