This is particularly true for countries like China with a diversity of climates and soils and intended uses. Currently, proper species selection is difficult due to the absence of computer-based selection tools. Climate and soil GIS layers, matched with a matrix of plant characteristics through rules describing species tolerances would greatly improve the selection process. Better matching will reduce environmental hazards and economic risks associated with sub-optimal plant selection and performance. GIS-based climate and soil maps have been developed for China. A matrix of quantitative species tolerances has been developed for example forage species and used in combination with an internet map server that allows customized map creation. A web-based decision support system has been developed to provide current information and links to original data sources, supplementary materials, and selection strategies.展开更多

Colchicine is the most common and effective chemical inducer in polyploid breeding at present. To detect the effects of colchicine on callus induction and shoot regeneration, E. arundinaceus ＇ Yun 83-183＇, with the chromosome of 2n = 60, was used as the material for studying the effect of different concentrations of 2,4-D and colchicine, treatment time and culture methods on callus induction and shoot regeneration. The results indicated, when the callus was cultured for 7 d in solid medium with 0.07% colchicine or 0.5 d in liquid medium with 0.05% colchicine, callus had no ability of shoot regeneration, which meant that in liquid culture, colchicine had not only high inhibitory effect on callus, but also lower concentration and shorter treatment time than solid culture; when the concentration of colchicine was 0.03% and callus was cultured for 7 d in solid medium or 0.5 d in liquid mhdium, the resistant callus rate and resistant bud rate were the highest, although the resistant callus rates were all about 88.00% and had no significant difference between solid culture and liquid culture, the resistance bud rate was only 6.00% in liquid culture, 16.22% lower than in solid culture, which meant that solid culture was more effective than liquid culture at the same colchicine concentration. For E. arundinaceus ＇ Yun 83-183＇ , the best concentration of 2,4-D was 2 mg/L, the best concentration of colchicine was 0.03%, and the best effect of callus induction and shoot regeneration was achieved within 7 d of solid culture. This study would provide fundamental information for chromosome doubling of E. arundinaceus in the future.展开更多

[Method] Phenotypic traits and genetic diversity were evaluated based on 5 quantitative traits and 21 qualitative traits of 162 accessions of Erianthus arundinaceum collected from nine provinces in China （74 in Yunnan, 15 in Fujian, 19 in Guizhou, 18 in Hainan, 14 in Sichuan, 10 in Jiangxi, 4 in Guangdong, 4 in Guangxi and 4 in Zhejiang）. [Result] The Shannon-Wiener indices of qualitative traits among the E. arundinaceum populations from different provinces were generally low. The accessions from Fujian exhibited the highest genetic diversity index （0.762 4）, while those from Guangxi showed the lowest one （0.294 2）. There were great genetic variances in quantitative traits, with mean variation coefficients ranging from 14.95% to 32.15%. The accessions from Yunnan showed the highest variation coefficient （32.15%） and those from Guangxi showed the lowest one （14.95%）. Brix exhibited extremely significant nega- tive correlation with altitude and plant height showed extremely significant negative correlation with latitude. Coefficients of genetic divergence indicated that a high proportion of total genetic variation was retained within the populations from different regions, and the high gene flow showed that there were active genetic exchanges among these populations, suggesting no significant genetic divergence among these populations. According to genetic distance and UPGMA, there was a certain correlation between genetic distance and different sampling regions of E. arundinaceum. [Conclusion] The results provide theoretical references for resource collection , het- erosis application and development of excellent genes of sugarcane germplasm.展开更多

In this research three Trichoderma isolates and Ridomil Gold 4E fungicide were tested in avocado trees infected with this pathogen using the growing and coloring vegetative flow growing. Results were analyzed with an experimental design completely random with four treatments and repetitions. Different responses were presented form avocado trees to each treatment. Trichoderma erinaceum Bissett, Kubicek ＆ Szackacs treatment was the best controlling disease in trees with grade II and III damage. Trichoderma aggressivum Samuels ＆ W. Gams controlled better in trees with grade III damage. At last, Trichoderma arundinaceum Zafari, Graef. and Samuels were the best controlling trees with the highest grade damage. Fungicide Ridomil Gold 4E controlled the disease in trees with the lowest grade damage （I and II）, their medias were similar to witness.展开更多
