Creation of Brassica napus dwarf material LSW2018 Fang WANG, Rui-mao ZHANG, Sha HUANG, Rong TANG, Lu-lu WANG, Bin YANG, Zhuan-zhuan WANG, Yuan-yu YANG, Min WANG, De-gang ZHAO, Chao LI 2022, 44 (1):  1-6.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2021333 Abstract ( 309 )   HTML ( 192 )   PDF (2406KB) ( 234 )   In this study, a hybrid combination was contructed with F1 of Deyou 5, a Brassica napus variety, as female parent and a new line 273R as male parent. In the F2 generation, 6 mutant plants with obvious shorter plant types at seedling stage were selected. After 5 generations of purification, we bred a stable new germplasm, LSW2018. The germplasm shows dwarf marker characters at seedling stage, with shrunken, thicker and darker leaves, shorter petiole. The growth is lightly weak but stable, plant height is significantly shorter than that of the normal variety. From the budding stage to maturity, LSW2018 gradually turned into a normal shape, with shorter internodes and thicker stalks, stronger lodging resistance, and lower branching positions. The flowering habit, branching angle, inflorescence characteristics, primary and secondary branches, grains, and other characteristics of LSW2018 are not significantly different from those of the homologous normal high-stalk line HSW2018, but the plant height and branch height are extremely different. The average transplanting plant height of LSW2018 is 136.24 cm and the direct seeding is 110.4 cm. In short, LSW2018 is considered to be a new short-stem Brassica napus germplasm suitable for mechanized and light-simplified planting, which might have high utilization value and broad application prospects.

Transcriptome sequencing analysis of dwarfing traits in Brassica napus line DW871 Jing LUO, Chao LI, Rui-mao ZHANG, De-gang ZHAO, Zhi-hong GAO, Fang WANG, Yuan-yu YANG, Zhuan-zhuan WANG, Min WANG 2022, 44 (1):  14-24.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2021044 Abstract ( 278 )   HTML ( 181 )   PDF (2115KB) ( 249 )   DW871 is a Brassica napus dwarf line with unusual and excellent plant type. To study the dwarf-related genes and their expression patterns of DW871, we took B. napus HW871 as control and selected stem tissues at the bolting stage for transcriptome gene expression analysis. Results showed that there were 8665 significant differentially expressed genes between DW871 and HW881, of which 2582 were up-regulated and 6083 down-regulated. The enrichment analysis of GO could be annotated to 22 subcategories in 3 categories, the enrichment analysis of KEGG was annotated to 295 pathways in 31 subcategories in 5 categories. We screened genes closely related to dwarfing traits from significantly different genes, 43 in pectin degradation, 69 in auxin signal transduction, and annotated 22 in the monolignol biosynthesis. It was found that the dwarfing character of DW871 was related to cell elongation, abnormal cell wall formation and cell division, and obstruction of auxin signal transduction. In particular, in monolignol biosynthesis, it is possible to regulate a series of physiological and biochemical processes related to lignin by regulating the expression of enzymes such as PAL and CCR. The differential genes related to dwarfing traits were screened in this research. It could be hypothesized that the dwarfing mechanism of DW871 involving abnormal auxin response and lignin synthesis， which lead to abnormal cell elongation， growth and cell wall changes， and ultimately lead to the dwarfing of DW871.

For better understand molecular regulation of moderately compact branch angle for high yield and mechanized harvesting, a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population was constructed from Holly and APL01 with significantly different branch angles. Their phenotype of branch angle was investigated in 2 environments. Results showed that branch angles of the RIL population showed continuous variation and normal distribution. QTL mapping analysis was performed using high-density SNP genetic linkage map constructed in previous study. As a result, 8 branch angle QTLs were mapped on chromosomes A9, C3, C4 and C7 respectively. The phenotypic variation explained by a single QTL ranged from 4.05% to 9.60%. Compared with previous studies, 2 new QTLs cqBA.C4-2 and cqBA.C4-3 were stably expressed in the 2 environments, and explained 5.13%-6.80% and 4.60%-7.21% of the phenotypic variation respectively. According to resequencing results of Holly and APL01, a total of 7226 SNPs and 829 InDels were found within cqBA.C4-2 confidence interval (10.32-14.3 Mb), of which 7226 SNPs contained 220 non-synonymous mutations and 5 stop-gain mutations, 15 out of 829 InDels caused frameshift mutations. These mutation sites corresponded to 55 genes. A total of 416 SNPs and 65 InDels were found within cqBA.C4-3 confidence interval (44.39-44.46 Mb), of which 416 SNPs contained 50 non-synonymous mutations, 1 out of 65 InDels caused frameshift mutations. And these mutation sites corresponded to a total of 15 genes. According to Arabidopsis homologous genes function annotation, 4 candidate genes related to branching angles were found as BnaC04g13100D, BnaC04g15900D, BnaC04g16280D, and BnaC04g44330D. The above results were expected to provide valuable information for revealing regulation of rapeseed branching and cultivating compact rapeseed varieties through molecular design methods.

Genome-wide identification and expression analysis of PHY gene family in Brassica napus Wen-qian LI, Pan XIE, Wei LIU, Yu KANG, Li LIAO, Rui REN, Lun-wen QIAN, Chun-yun GUAN, Xin HE 2022, 44 (1):  45-56.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2021206 Abstract ( 428 )   HTML ( 21 )   PDF (4628KB) ( 294 )   Phytochrome (PHY), as a receptor for red and far-red light sensing in plants, plays an important role in the regulation of response to shade, biological and abiotic stress. Identification of PHY family genes in Brassica napus and analysis of their molecular mechanism are helpful to improve the light energy utilization rate of B. napus, and to cultivate varieties with resistance to stress, and suitable for dense planting and machine harvesting. In order to study the family characteristics of PHY genes in B. napus, five AtPHY genes were used as reference sequences, 11, 6, 5, 5, 10 and 9 PHY genes in Brassica napus, B. oleracea, B. rapa, B. nigra, B. juncea and B.carinata were identified, respectively. Results of bioinformatics analysis showed that the sequences and gene structures of PHY were highly conserved in Brassicaceae species. In B. napus, PHYA （subgroup） members were mainly expressed in roots, while PHYB members were mainly expressed in leaves. PHYA and PHYB were regulated by heat and cold stresses, but the effect of abiotic and hormone treatments on PHY genes expression were not obvious. During vernalization, the expression levels of PHYB subgroup were down-regulated, while PHYC and PHYE expressions were up-regulated. In PHYA subgroup, only a few genes were up-regulated after vernalization treatment. Most PHY genes were strongly repressed by infection of S. sclerotiorum, while 2 members of PHYA subgroup were induced. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

Most peanut germplasm lines identified as resistant to A. flavus infection or aflatoxin production possess small pod or seed with relatively low yield potential. In this study, a total of 188 recombinant inbreed lines (RILs) population derived from Zhonghua 16 × J11 were assessed for their resistance to A. flavus infection and consequent aflatoxin production. The yield-related traits including 100-pod weight and 100-seed weight were also investigated among the RILs. The results revealed that variations of percent seed infection index (PSII) and aflatoxin content (AFT) in the RILs were much wider than those of their two parents. Eight lines with resistance to seed infection, nine lines with resistance to aflatoxin production were identified from the RILs. A special line with large pod and resistance to both seed infection and aflatoxin production was identified, which could be potential for further resistance improvement in peanut.

Identification of miRNAs and their target genes in response to salt stress in Brassica napus Yue WANG, Ting ZHOU, Cai-peng YUE, Jin-yong HUANG, Ying-peng HUA 2022, 44 (1):  103-115.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2020299 Abstract ( 229 )   HTML ( 12 )   PDF (3586KB) ( 140 )   Brassica napus L. is one of the important oil crops in the world. However soil salt stress severely inhibited its growth and development. Previous studies have shown that under salt stress, plants increase their own salt stress resistance by expressing some miRNAs and regulating the expression of their target genes. In this study, rapeseed was cultured under 200 mmol·L-1 NaCl treatment and control, and took the shoot and root to construct 12 small RNA libraries for high-throughput sequencing. Through the differential expression analysis of miRNAs in the whole genome, a total of 26 differentially expressed miRNAs were identified and 171 corresponding target genes were predicted. Combining the differential expression of genes in the early transcriptome and the results of the differential expression of miRNAs in this study, it is speculated that miRNA156-SPL15-WRKY, miRNA397-LAC12-xylogen, miR169-NFYA5 and miR399-UBC29-ubiquitination pathways might be involved in the regulation of salt stress resistance in B. napus.

Transcriptome reveals differences in lipid metabolism pathways between autotrophic and mixotrophic Desmodesmus sp. Wen-qian WEI, Xin SUN, Feng HUANG, Peng-fei LI, Meng LI 2022, 44 (1):  130-137.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2020325 Abstract ( 254 )   HTML ( 8 )   PDF (2856KB) ( 230 )   To explore the more efficient regulation mechanism of lipid accumulation in Desmodesmus sp. under mixotrophic condition, Desmodesmus sp. were cultivated unde autotrophic and mixotrophic conditions, and differences of lipid accumulation of Desmodesmus sp. under two cultivation conditions were compared using transcriptome sequencing. The results showed that the mixotrophic group had 1081 up-regulated genes, 575 down-regulated genes, and 23 331 non-significantly differentially expressed genes. The enrichment of the differential gene GO term was mainly in the molecular function, biological process and cell components of photosynthesis, such as thylakoid, photosystem I, chlorophyll binding, photosynthetic electron transport, light response and dark response etc. The enrichment of KEGG pathway was mainly characterized as photosynthesis, followed by fatty acid elongation, protein processing in the endoplasmic reticulum, and starch and sucrose synthesis. Under mixotrophic condition, reduced PSⅡ's demand for light energy was reduced, but photosynthetic electron transport was enhanced, and more ATP and NADPH were produced for carbon fixation in photosynthesis and other metabolic activities of cells. The enhancement of lipid accumulation was mainly due to the enhancement of glycolytic pathway, which produced more acetyl-CoA for fatty acid production and promoting fatty acids production.

Reactive oxygen species accumulation and scavenging ability, protective enzyme activity, ability of osmotic regulation substance accumulation and root characteristics were determined to explore physiological response of peanut to drought stress. Results showed that drought stress leads to wilting and activity decreased of root. Hydrogen peroxide accumulated severely in sensitive cultivars and a 2.4 times increase was observed compared to control. Anti-superoxide anion activity was declined significantly in drought sensitive cultivars, while it was slightly affected in drought-tolerant cultivars. The reactive oxygen scavenging system in peanut responded to drought positively, and free proline of each cultivar greatly accumulated under drought stress, with 1.3-4.2 times increase in the 4 cultivars. The soluble protein content increased slightly (between 1.2-2.0 times), and among different cultivars, protective enzyme activity increased by 1.1-5.4 times. The maximum variation coefficient of protective enzyme activity was 22.40% in the drought-tolerant cultivars while 53.36% in sensitive cultivars with low activity. The correlation analysis showed that ascorbate peroxidase was significantly positively correlated with the anti-superoxide anion activity of peanut. In addition, significant positive correlation could be observed between superoxidase dismutase activity and soluble protein, and between peroxidase activity and proline content.

In order to clarify the effect of different crop rotation patterns and previous crops on growth and grain yield of oilseed flax in dry land flax, a long-term field positioning experiments were conducted. We studied the effect of regulation of six different rotation treatments on grain yield formation of oilseed flax and which response to different stubbles. Six rotation patterns were set as follows: flax-flax-flax-flax （FFFF）, flax-wheat-potato-flax （FWPF）, flax-potato-flax-wheat （FPFW）, flax-flax-wheat-potato （FFWP）, flax-wheat-flax-potato （FWFP） and flax-wheat-potato-wheat （FWPW）. The results showed that crop rotation influenced grain yield and yield-related traits of oilseed flax. The grain yield of oilseed flax under different rotation treatments increased by 5.99%-88.49% compared with continuous cropping （FFFF）. The frequency of oilseed flax had a significant effect on grain yield. The grain yield under FWPW treatment with 25% flax planting frequency increased by 17.55%-62.50% compared with that of 50% flax planting frequency and 88.49% compared with that of continuous cropping, respectively. Plant height, capsule number, branch number and 1000-seed weight under rotation treatments were greater 1.74%-15.15%, 12.82%-38.48%, 11.02%-24.93% and 4.88%-13.56% than that of FFFF pattern, respectively. The accumulation amount and distribution ratio of dry matter in different organs were significantly correlated with grain yield of oilseed flax. Crop rotation significantly promoted dry matter accumulation, which were increased by 14.87%-39.57% compared with that of FFFF. The dry matter accumulation was decreased with the increasing of frequency of oilseed flax, which was generally expressed as 25% flax planting frequency > 50% flax planting frequency > 100% flax planting frequency. The results showed that crop rotation could effectively promote plant height, branch number, effective capsule number or 1000-grain weight by promoting the accumulation of dry matter in various organs of flax and optimizing dry matter distribution, which further increased grain yield of oilseed flax. It indicates that appropriate rotation mode and crop stubble can effectively solve the problem of yield reduction caused by continuous cropping of flax. In this study, FWPW rotation mode is the best rotation mode for high yield of flax in arid and semi-arid regions. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

Analysis on combining ability, genetic effects and heterosis of germination-related traits under low temperature stress in Brassica napus L. Yi ZHANG, He HUANG, Yong CHENG, Xiao-yu DING, Liu ZENG, Dan LUO, Ben-mu XIAO, Qin-zhen LIAO, Jian CHEN, Yan LYU, Xi-ling ZOU 2022, 44 (1):  168-176.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2020259 Abstract ( 234 )   HTML ( 11 )   PDF (674KB) ( 201 )   In order to improve low temperature tolerance of rapeseed, 10 rapeseed inbred lines with different level of low temperature tolerance were selected, and 25 combinations were generated by NCⅡ incomplete bi-serial hybridization. Seeds of 10 parents and 25 combinations were germinated under normal condition （22℃） and low temperature condition （9℃）, germination rate, germination potential, germination index, mean germination were investigated to analyze combining ability, genetic parameters and heterosis of various germination traits. Results showed that there were significant differences in germination traits in different hybrid combinations at 9℃, but not significant differences at 22℃. P2 （Ningyou 18）, P7 （2007R13） and P10 （C18） had strong germination capacity at 9℃, and general combining ability（GCA） of each trait was higher. Hybrid combination generated by P2 （Ningyou 18）, P7 （2007R13） and P10 （C18） had higher special combining ability （SCA） of each germination trait and strong heterosis at 9℃. GCA of these four traits in cultivar C18 was the highest,and cross （B018×Huyou 17） × C18 exhibited the highest of special combining ability （SCA）. Analysis of genetic parameters showed that heritability of the relative germination index in the narrow sense was larger than that in the broad sense, and should be selected in the early generation. The narrow sense heritability of relative germination potential, relative germination rate and relative average germination time is low, while the broad sense heritability is relatively high, so it should be selected in the late breeding generation. The broad heritability and narrow heritability of germination index were the highest among the four traits. Overall, combining ability and genetic effects analysis of germination index during germination stage could be used to identify low temperature tolerance germplasm of rapeseed to improve the breeding program.

Effect of ethanol extract of industrial hemp stalks on physiological and biochemical metabolism of soybean cyst nematode Yue LI, Hai-yan LI, Yuan-yuan ZHOU, Jing-sheng CHEN, Ji-dong YU 2022, 44 (1):  177-182.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2020334 Abstract ( 204 )   HTML ( 10 )   PDF (2197KB) ( 158 )   In order to clarify the action mechanism of ethanol extract from industrial hemp stalks on soybean cyst nematode, soaking method was used to study the effects of the extract on physiological and biochemical indexes such as total sugar, glycerin, protein contents and detoxification enzyme activity in soybean cyst nematode. The results showed that, total sugar content and glycerin content of the second-instar nematodes （J2） showed an upward trend with the extension of treatment time, meanwhile soluble protein content gradually decreased. When J2 has been soaked for 24 hours, there were extremely significant differences between the treatment group and the control, in particular, total sugar content and glycerin content of J2 significantly increased by 96.2% and 33.5% respectively. The soluble protein content was 26.3% lower than the control. In addition, AchE, CarE and GST activity all gradually decreased, and were 61.1%, 51.3% and 45.4% lower than the control. The ethanol extract of industrial hemp straw could cause disorder of carbohydrate metabolism in nematodes and reduce the resistance of nematodes, and weaken the ability of nematodes to degrade toxic substances, which might be the cause of nematode death.

Estimation of oleic acid content in Brassica napus seeds based on hyperspectral data Rong-cai TIAN, Jun-wei LU, Chun-yun GUAN 2022, 44 (1):  190-200.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2020281 Abstract ( 214 )   HTML ( 8 )   PDF (2440KB) ( 174 )   In order to find the most typical characteristics part of rapeseed on its oleic acid content hyperspectral estimating in Brassica napus L., 44 germplasm resources with high oleic acid content were used as materials. Spectral reflectance of seed and its oleic acid data were collected according to an order of main stem, primary branch, and secondary branch. The data were analyzed on relationship between seed oleic acid contents and original & first derivative spectral reflectance of different parts. Estimation model as stepwise multiple linear regression, partial least squares regression (PLSR), and principal component regression were established based on full wavelength and characteristic wavelength. Univariate linear regression model was established based on spectral index. And then, determination coefficient (R2), root mean square error (RMSE) and relative predicted deviation (RPD) were used to evaluate the accuracy of these models. Results showed that the PLSR model based on original spectral reflectance of the main stem had the best estimation effect in the full-wavelength model, with calibration set R2c 0.83 and RMSEc 1.63%, and validation set R2v 0.71, RMSEv 1.92%, and RPD 2.00. Among the characteristic wavelength models, PLSR model based on the first-order differential spectrum of the primary branches had the best estimation effects, with R2c 0.85 and R2v 0.87, RMSEc 1.08%, RMSEv 1.13%, and RPD 2.57. Among the estimation models constructed based on the spectra index, the RPD was less than 1.50 which prediction effect was poor. Therefore, the PLSR model based on the first derivative characteristic wavelengths might effectively estimate oleic acid content of the primary branches seeds. It also provided a sampling reference for spectral detection of oleic acid content in B. napus seeds with high oleic acid. Figures and Tables | References | Related Articles | Metrics

Pixels number representing rapeseed （Brassica napus） seed area was obtained by image processing. Correlation models were established between seeds area and seed mass. Kernel of each seed was obtained by selective limit erosion algorithm and then was labeled on gradient image of seed. Then watershed algorithm was used to segment rapeseeds on the labeled gradient image. The rape seeds which were still adhesive after first segmentation were extracted, and their kernel inside the seed was obtained by method of maximum value after distance transformation.Then the watershed algorithm was used to segment seeds again. In the segmented image, 1000 seeds were randomly selected and their area was extracted. 1000-seed weight was calculated by the correlation model between seeds area and mass. Results showed that the relative error of 1000-seed weight of the 3 varieties was less than 3.16%. This accuracy could fully meet the requirements of national standard.

Research progress on carotenoid bioavailability and its emulsion delivery system Meng-jia SUN, Qian-chun DENG, Shuang QUAN, Xiao YU, Hong-jian CHENG, Ya-shu CHEN, Chun-yan CHEN 2022, 44 (1):  215-230.  doi: 10.19802/j.issn.1007-9084.2020350 Abstract ( 331 )   HTML ( 14 )   PDF (1178KB) ( 378 )   With the continuous improvement of material living standard, changes in working environment and living state have led to the development of the sub-health status and the aging of the population. Dietary supplements with multiple biological functions have become a hot topic for consumers and researchers. Carotenoids are not only natural pigments that play a key role in photosynthetic organisms, but also have various protective functions for human health. Therefore, they are often used as nutritional supplements in the food industry and pharmaceutical industry. However, the high sensitivity of carotenoids to processing conditions and environmental factors, as well as their strong hydrophobicity limit the bioavailability of carotenoids and their wide application in complex processed food environments; other nutrients such as lipid, cellulose, protein and mineral elements in food matrix also have great influence on the bioavailability of carotenoids. Related research has shown that emulsion, a special delivery system, can protect carotenoids from environmental factors and improve their bioavailability in the human body. From the perspective of multiple factors affecting the bioavailability of carotenoids, this review focused on the research progress and application status of carotenoids bioavailability regulated by emulsion delivery systems, and looked into the future development trend of these delivery systems.
