WANG Gui-xi, WANG You-sheng, LIANG Li-song
2005, 18(2): 114-119.
Abstract:
In this paper,chilling injury and quality deterioration of 'Okubao'(Prunus persica (L.)Batsch cv.Okubao)peach fruit under different storage temperature strategies were studied.When stored at 5 ℃,peach fruit showed rapid increase of membrane permeability and juice extraction rate during the first 15 d and lost the ability to ripe during subsequent shelf-life at 20 ℃ for 3 d,which means severe chilling injury.Chilling injury in fruits stored at 0 ℃ occurred at 30 d,but the symptom did not show until the fruit was moved to 20 ℃ for 3 d.Precondition at 24 ℃ for 3 d before storage at 0 ℃ delayed the occurrence of chilling injury,but could not delay fruit softening and thus led to unacceptable quality.When placed at 8 ℃ for 9 d before stored at 0 ℃,membrane permeability and juice extraction were acceptable and maintained its fruit firmness,SSC and pH value,and could ripe and soften normally during shelf-life.The results indicated that cold training at 8 ℃ for 9 d was the best temperature strategy to prevent chilling injury and to keep quality of 'Okubao' peach fruit in 60 d of storage.

Abstract:
Based on study materials of 3 biomass research in the similar site condition of Dagangshan forest region and the observed materials of permanent sample plots of Chinese fir, this paper made a relatively detailed study on the change laws of biomass of Chinese fir plantations, and obtained the main results as follows: (1)For the same stands, except that biomass of leaves and some branches have a decreasing duration(from 5 a to 8 a), biomasses of various parts of mean individual and stand all increase with the increasing of stands age, during the quick growth years of stands, the proportions of leaves, branches and stem are weakly increasing, with above ground parts increasing and roots decreasing. In stem growth stage(12~16 a), the proportion of each organ of mean individual tends to be stable. (2)Site indices have obvious affection on the amount of biomass, biomasses of all parts and allocation rate of mean individual and stand, the affection varies with stand age, and is restricted by planting density. (3)With the increasing of planting density, the biomass of each organ of mean individual obviously decreases, the allocation rate of biomass of stem tends to decrease at any age; the discrepancies of biomasses of different stands, caused by planting density, tend to decrease with the increasing of stand age.

2005, 18(2): 169-172.
Abstract:
Individual variation of gutta-percha content in barks of Eucommia ulmoides and the correlations between gutta-percha content character in bark and several macroscopic properties were systematically studied by means of selecting the typical plants and random sampling. The result showed that the differences of DBH (diameter at breast height), the bark thickness and gutta-percha content in bark were in significant level among various clones. The gutta-percha content rate among different Eucommia clones had a significant negative relation with the phellem thickness and the ratio of phellem to bark thickness and it also negatively related to DBH, which indicated that larger DBH and thicker phellem led to less gutta-percha accumulations. Gutta-percha content in unit volume of bark related positively significantly with gutta-percha content rate in bark and volume weight of the bark.

FAN Zheng-qi, LI Ji-yuan, TIAN Min
2005, 18(2): 183-186.
Abstract:
The effect of the supplement of antibiotics on induction and growth of camellia callus was studied. Kannamycin and Hygromycin were more sensitive to growth of callus of C.chekiangoleosa than that of C.magniflora. Growth of callus would be limited by Kannamycin at 50~60 mg·L-1 and Hygromycin at 25~30 mg·L-1. The leaves of C.grijsii seeding could not induced callus when Kannamycin and Hygromycin arrived the same concentration. Carbenicillin could accelerate induction of callus at certain degree but didnot affect the growth of callus. Amoxicillin inhibited slightly the growth of callus. Cefotaximes reduced both the ratio. According to the effect of inhibiting Agrobacterium tumefaciens, concertration of Carbenicillin and Amoxicillin were 250 mg·L-1 and 125 mg·L-1 respectively in the study of transformation.

2005, 18(2): 204-208.
Abstract:
Comparison research trial was conducted on Schleichera oleosa as lac host, including technology of seeding,afforestation, branch utilization and biological characteristics of Kerria lacca. The results showed that seed germination rate could be increased with the way getting rid of the capsule. Seedlings were raised in March and plant at the beginning of monsoon( It is about June and the first ten days of July in Yunnan province). The land suitable for the tree should be deep and loose soil and right drainage condition such as mid and low area of hillside. Afforestation effect could be better if the tree was planted at the south side of the hill. Young sapling could grow better with scarification and weeding and fertilizer superaddition. Schleichera oleosa was the best host tree for Kerria lacca and the output of lac was stable at winter and summer generations. It was also a favorable tree species for both keeping brood lac and for producing lac and it could be utilized by Kerria lacca once a year.

LIU Jian-feng, XIAO Wen-fa, JIANG Ze-ping, FENG Xia, LI Xiu-ying
2005, 18(2): 222-226.
Abstract:
Landscape fragmentation is one of the major reasons which lead to the drastic degression or loss of biodiversity over the world.It blocked gene flow among populations, caused inbreeding depression; and altered bio-geographical environments the species depended on, and minished the living space of the species. On the other hand, fragmentation transformed the traits of ecosystems, affected energy balance and matter flow,and attracted invasion of extra-species. The paper described the above mentioned aspects in order to better understand the profound effects of landscape fragmentation on biodiversity.The issues or hot spots of future study in this field, as well as conservation approaches, were also discussed.

FEI Xue-qian, DING Ming, ZHOU Zhi-chun, JIANG Zhi-biao
2005, 18(2): 227-230.
Abstract:
Total contents and components of escin were studied in seeds of Aesculus chinensis, A. chinensis var. chekiangensis and A. wilsonii collected from 8 origins. Results showed that total escin content ranged from 71.43 mg·g to 112.69 mg·g,with the highest in origin of Mabian, Sichuan Province and the lowest in origin of Kangxian, Gansu Province. It was suggested that escin content was correlated with geological zone to a certain extent. A.wilsonii was richer than that of Aesculus chinensis in escin content.The proportion of 4 types of escin varied dramatically among different origins. Component A in Mabian and Cangwang origin from Sichuan Province, Kangxian origin from Gansu Province, Mianxian origin from Shanxi Province and Xixia origin from Henan Province reached 35%~41% of total escin that was much higher than that of other components, while components D was below 15% that was only 1/3 of component A. Sum of Component A and C was nearly equal in Enshi, Hubei Province and Sangzhi, Hunan Province origins, which accounted for 58% of the total content. Lin'an origins from Zhejiang Province only got (17.17%) of component A while holding much higher proportion of component D. Statistical analysis also approved that the proportion of escin was correlated to geological zone.
