A newly discovered silicified brachiopod interval from the Upper Member of the Guanling Formation (Late Anisian, Middle Triassic) in Guizhou Province (South China) is described for the first time. The most remarkable feature of this brachiopod assemblage, besides the very good preservation, is the very low taxonomic evenness and diversity. This impoverished, low diversity/high density assemblage is represented by more than 700 recovered specimens belonging to three species within two spiriferinid genera (Pseudospiriferina multicostata, P. pinguis, and Punctospirella fragilis). It is characterized by the overwhelming abundance of an endemic spiriferinid species, P. multicostata, which contributes to more than 90% of the community. Silicified valves of P. multicostata and Punctospirella fragilis allow detailed descriptions of the internal morphology based on direct observation. Brachiopod paleoecology, assessed by considering host−rock lithology, shell disarticulation, and shell size suggests that this endemic brachiopod fauna represents a favourable niche for development of dense brachiopod−dominated communities, i.e., high energy, hard substrate, nutrient rich environment.

Cadmium (Cd) tolerance and accumulation in wheat varieties were investigated at seedling stage under a controlled environmental condition. The 46 leading wheat varieties cultivated from the 1950s to 2000s in China were treated at the three-leaf stage with a 50 µM CdCl₂ solution for 24 days. Growth and photosynthesis parameters were measured and the Cd-tolerance index (ratio of a given parameter under Cd treatment to that of the control) was determined. Cd accumulation in shoots and roots and Cd translocation were also determined. It was found that Cd tolerance and accumulation of these wheat varieties varied over the different decades. Principal components analysis (PCA) showed that wheat varieties in 1950s and 1980s were tolerant while varieties from the last decade were sensitive to Cd stress. Wheat varieties in 1960s and 1970s were particularly tolerant to Cd stress for the parameters of shoot height, secondary root numbers, net photosynthesis and transpiration rate while the varieties in the 1990s were sensitive to Cd stress for shoot dry weight and root dry weight. Comparing each decade to the average Cd translocation ratio from the roots to the shoots for the whole period, the varieties from the 1950s and 1960s had a higher translocation ratio, while varieties in the 1970s were below that average. Varieties from the 1980s to 2000s showed an average translocation ratio. Using cluster analysis (CA), Shannongfu 63, Yangmai 1 and Yangmai 158 were the most Cd-tolerant varieties in which Cd translocation ratio were low, and Yumai 18 and Huaimai 20 were the most Cd-sensitive varieties in which Cd translocation ratio were high. The results indicating that wheat varieties from different decades were different in Cd tolerance and accumulation, and could be useful for breeding wheat for Cd stress tolerance.

Salicornia europaea is a succulent euhalophyte that belongs to the Chenopodiaceae family. It is found that moderate concentration of NaCl can dramatically stimulate the growth of S. europaea plants. To elucidate the mechanism underlying the phenomenon, morphological and physiological changes of S. europaea in response to different ions, including cations (Na⁺, K⁺, Li⁺, Cs⁺) and anions (Cl⁻, NO₃⁻, CH₃COO⁻) were investigated, and the effects of Na⁺, Cl⁻ and K⁺ on the growth of S. europaea were also studied. Na⁺ was more effective than K⁺ and Cl⁻ in stimulating shoot succulence, cell expansion, and stomatal opening. Plants treated with Na⁺ (including NaCl, Na⁺, NaNO₃) showed better plant growth, increased photosynthesis and less cell membrane damage than those untreated and treated with 200 mM of Cl⁻ and K⁺ (including KCl and KNO₃). Both SEM-X-Ray microanalysis and flame emission results revealed that well developed S. europaea plants had a higher content of sodium but lower potassium and chlorine. It is concluded that sodium plays a more important role in the growth and development of S. europaea than potassium and chloride.

Seedlings of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars Jing 411, Jinmai 30 and Yangmai 10 were exposed to 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 or 50 μM of CdCl₂ in a solution culture experiment. The effects of cadmium (Cd) stress on wheat growth, leaf photon energy conversion, gas exchange, and Cd accumulation in wheat seedlings were investigated. Gas exchange was monitored at 3, 9, 24 days after treatment (DAT). Growth parameters, chlorophyll content, leaf chlorophyll fluorescence, and Cd concentration in shoot and root were measured at 24 DAT. Seedling growth, gas exchange, chlorophyll content, chlorophyll fluorescence parameters were generally depressed by Cd stress, especially under the high Cd concentrations. Cd concentration and accumulation in both shoots and roots increased with increasing external Cd concentrations. Relationships between corrected parameters of growth, photosynthesis and fluorescence and corrected Cd concentrations in shoots and roots could be explained by the regression model Y = K/(1 + exp(a + bX)). Jing 411 was found to be Cd tolerant considering parameters of chlorophyll content, photosynthesis and chlorophyll fluorescence in which less Cd translocation was from roots into shoots. The high Cd concentrations were in shoots and roots in Yangmai 10 which has been found to be a relative Cd tolerant cultivar in terms of most growth parameters.

Quantitative trait loci (QTL) for Cadmium (Cd) tolerance and accumulation in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) were identified, using 103 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross of Ch × Sh at germination and seedling stages. The traits of germination, growth and physiology were measured. Cd tolerance indexes (TI) were calculated for plants under Cd stress relative to control conditions. Cd concentrations in both root and shoot were determined and the amount of Cd accumulation and translocation calculated. The phenotypic variation of the above traits showed a continuous distribution pattern among the RILs. Twenty-six QTLs were detected, (16 of which were designated for the traits under the control and Cd stress, 8 for Cd tolerance and 2 for root Cd accumulation). These 26 QTLs individually could explain 7.97–60.16% of the phenotypic variation. Fourteen QTLs were positive (with the additive effects coming from Ch) while the remaining 12 QTLs were negative (with the additive effects contributed by Sh). No QTL were detected in the same region on the chromosomes of wheat. The results indicated that genetic mechanisms controlling the traits of Cd tolerance were independent from each other. Therefore, in this study, the properties of Cd tolerance and accumulation showed to be independent traits in wheat.

The polymorphic markers of nuclear SSR (simple sequence repeat), SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism)/ InDel (insertion–deletion length polymorphism), and cpSSR (chloroplast SSR) were used to evaluate the genetic diversity of 52 trifoliate oranges and their relatives. The two genomic DNA-based markers produced high values of PIC (polymorphic information content) at 0.45 for SNP/InDel and 0.32 for nuclear SSR, indicating that there is a large diversity of genetic variationvwithin the trifoliate oranges. Three UPGMA (unweighted pair-group method with arithmetic means) dendrograms were generated based on the results of three marker systems. At 0.76 of coefficient, all of Poncirus accessions were clustered into one group, except the 74-1 Early Poncirus, one of the three precocious trifoliate oranges, which was placed separately into another group by nuclear SSR. At a higher coefficient, the trifoliate oranges were discriminated into 4, 6 and 6 groups by nuclear SSR (0.86), SNP/InDel (0.95), and cpSSR (0.95), respectively. The results revealed that three precocious trifoliate oranges were originated from different sources. Hubei Early Poncirus and Beibei Early Poncirus were the asexual mutants of different trifoliate oranges, and 74-1 was probably a sexual hybrid. The present study also indicated that ‘Zhiwenzhou,’ a diploid chimera of trifoliate orange and Satsuma is more closely related to Satsuma rather than to trifoliate orange, which is in concordance with the results of morphological observation.

Since its discovery, green fluorescence protein (GFP) has been used as a reporter in a broad range of applications, including the determination of gene expresion in diverse organisms, and subcellular protein localization. pEGFP-N1 is a eukayotic expression vector encoding EGFP, the MCS of which locates at the N terminus of EGFP. In this study, the cDNA sequence of scorpion toxin BmKK2 was inserted into the XhoI-HindIII cut of pEGFP-N1 to construct a toxin-EGFP fusion gene (named pEGFP-BmKK2). Fluorescence imaging revealed that HEK 293T cells that were transfected by pEGFP-BmKK2 emitted green fluorescence. Transcription of pEGFP-BmKK2 was confirmed by RT-PCR. However, western blotting analysis showed that the transfected HEK 293T cells expressed mostly EGFP, but little toxin-EGFP fusion protein, implying that pEGFP-N1 cannot be used as a fusion expression vector for subcellular protein localization for the BmKK2 gene. Consequently, two modified recombinant vectors (pEGFP-BmKK2-M1 and pEGFP-BmKK2-M2) were constructed based on pEGFP-BmKK2. This greatly improved the expression of toxin-EGFP fusion protein from pEGFP-BmKK2-M2.

Aiming at the non-linearity of state equation and observation equation of SSP (Siemen Schottel Propulsor) propulsion motor, an improved particle filter algorithm based on strong tracking extent Kalman filter (ST-EKF) was presented, and it was imported into the marine SSP propulsion motor control system. The strong tracking filter was used to update particles in the new algorithm and produce importance densities. As a result, the problems of particle degeneracy and sample impoverishment were ameliorated, the propulsion motor states and the rotor resistance were estimated simultaneously using strong track filter (STF), and the tracking ability of marine SSP propulsion motor control system was improved. Simulation result shown that the improved EPF algorithm was not only improving the prediction accuracy of the motor states and the rotor resistance, but also it can satisfy the requirement of navigation in harbor. It had the better accuracy than EPF algorithm

Keichousaurus hui is a small pachypleurosaur (Reptilia: Sauropterygia) from the Triassic of China. Many specimens of various growth stages are known, making them ideal for ontogenetic research. We report 22 new specimens from the Middle Triassic of Xingyi (Guizhou, south China), and combined their skeletal measurements with those from 85 published specimens to analyze the ontogenetic trajectory of sexual dimorphism. An Exploratory Factor Analysis suggests that the largest factors behind morphological disparity within the species are body size followed by gender. Sexual dimorphism is most clearly reflected in selected skeletal ratios that are more pronounced in males than in females. We found that the relative length of femur to body size was useful in gender identification, in addition to three ratios that are traditionally used, namely a distal expansion of the humerus relative to its shaft, humerus length relative to body size, and humerus length relative to femur length. Two distinctive patterns exist in allometric changes of these four ratios. The distal expansion of the humerus is exceptional in that it is equally pronounced in juvenile and adult males and therefore must have been fully established during embryonic growth. The other three features are not pronounced at birth size and subsequently become pronounced during postembryonic growth. However, males and females already show different growth trajectories at birth size even in these three. Therefore, the fate of sexually dimorphic features seems to have already been set during embryonic growth in K. hui.

Determining the effect of water deficit during vegetative growth periods on grain yield will provide reasonable strategy for water-saving management of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). Pot experiment was conducted using winter wheat cultivar (Yangmai16) to investigate the effects of water deficit during vegetative periods on post-anthesis photosynthetic capacity and the relationship with grain yield formation during the growing season of 2013–2014. Water deficit consisted of moderate (leaf water potential of -1.20 to -1.40 MPa) and severe (leaf water potential of -1.80 to -2.20 MPa) levels during tillering and jointing growth stages, respectively. Moderate water deficit during tillering significantly increased grain yield through an enhanced yield capacity per stem and moderate water deficit during jointing resulted in similar grain yields as compared to control, while severe water deficit during both periods significantly reduced grain yield due to strong reduction in number of spikes as compared to control. Moderate or severe water deficit during tillering had no effect on flag leaf area but reduced it significantly when it occurred during jointing. Water deficit treatments during jointing and tillering increased net photosynthetic rate (Pn) of flag leaves, the treatment during jointing being the most stimulatory. The maximum photochemical efficiency of Photosystem II, actual photochemical efficiency, the maximum carboxylation rate and photosynthetic electron transport rate increased in ways similar to Pn in response to water deficit but non-photochemical quenching decreased. We conclude that improved photosynthetic capacity by moderate water deficit during vegetative growth period highly contributes to grain yield, especially during tillering period, while grain yield decreased by the limitation of leaf area and spikes under severe water deficit.
