    【Objective】 Since the introduction of long-staple cotton from Central Asia in 1953, Xinjiang has accounted for more than 30% of the total output in the world, among which the new varieties have played a pillar role in industrial development. This paper aims to analyze the progress and existing problems of the cultivars since the introduction in the hope of clarifying the development context of Xinjiang long-staple cotton breeding in various periods, exploring the issues and solutions of the current variety technology, and breeding work for some time in the future. Prospects are made to provide technical reference for the development of new varieties in the future. 【Methods】 A total of 74 long-staple cotton cultivars cultivated in Xinjiang in different periods were used as research materials. And through 6 years of multi-planting in the field, the obtained data were combined with literature we got and then went through collation, statistics and analysis. 【Results】 In the past 66 years, 74 new varieties of long-staple cotton with excellent comprehensive traits have been bred in Xinjiang. The main economic characteristics of the main cultivars have been improved significantly, and the breeding techniques have been continuously enhanced to ensure the production needs in different periods. At the same time, there are outstanding problems such as plant type, single quality type, lack of high-yield and stable-yielding varieties, urgent improvement of applicability, and backward development of modern biological breeding technology. It is proposed that the development of long-staple cotton should be based on the accurate identification of germplasm resources in the coming period, aiming at the introduction and utilization of breakthrough resources, continuously expanding the sources of backbone parents, and strengthening the research and utilization of modern biological breeding techniques, in order to cultivate new varieties. Provide support. 【Conclusion】 In the future, long-staple cotton breeding should focus on the new situation facing the development of the industry, pay attention to balancing the economic interests of the major components of the industrial chain, and establish breeding goals. In those times, breeding should focus on improving the high yield and stability of the variety under the premise of ensuring quality. In particular, it is necessary to strengthen the improvement of disease resistance, insect, inverse protection and other traits in order to better promote the overall goal of breeding.

    【Objective】 To identify COR genes that mediated the tolerance to low temperature in cotton by analyzing expressing pattern of COR gene family members and VIGS gene silencing technology. 【Method】The real-time PCR was performed to analyze the transcriptional level of CORs in response to low temperature stress in cotton, as well as phenotype of the COR gene silenced cotton seedlings by virus induced gene silencing system (VIGS). 【Result】 The real-time PCR results showed that the mRNA accumulation of a COR gene (GenBank ID Gh_D12G0215) was induced by low temperatures and increased with the extended time of low temperature treatment, which the mRNA accumulation level was 9 folds of control plants at 48 h time point. On the contrary, the expression of another COR gene member (GenBank ID Gh_D06G0147) was suppressed in response to low temperature although there was an initially up-regulated expression at 3h time-point after low temperature treatment. For the rest COR family members, their mRNA accumulation showed no significant difference compared with the control. Meanwhile, the candidate COR gene member Gh_D12G0215 was silenced and treated with low temperature to confirm its function in the regulation of low temperature. By comparing growing condition with the non-silenced plants, the Gh_D12G0215 silenced plants showed less tolerance to low temperature, indicating that the Gh_D12G0215 may play a role in resistance to low temperature. 【Conclusion】 The mRNA accumulation of some COR genes were induced by low temperature stress, and one of them may play a role in regulation of low temperature stress pathway.

    【Objective】 To study the genetic evolution of spring wheat cultivars in Xinjiang in the hope of improving utilization efficiency of wheat germplasm and providing reference for breeding and improvement of these varieties.【Method】Xinjiang spring wheat varieties were used as experimental materials, and their main characters were comprehensively evaluated and analyzed, and the genetic relationship was analyzed by wheat 90K SNP chip.【Result】 The results showed that the genetic diversity of spring wheat in Xinjiang was abundant, and the average genetic diversity index ranged between 1.902-2.181 with an average 2.005; Correlation analysis showed that protein content, wet gluten and spike grain number had significant positive correlation with breeding age. In the past years, the breeding of spring wheat varieties in Xinjiang mainly applied three methods: hybid breeding, hybrid radiation mutagenesis breeding and introduction. There was no doubt that the introduced wheat varieties did play a great role in the wheat breeding process in Xinjiang. At present, the wheat cultivars could be divided into three groups by wheat 90K chip and the clustering result showed the relationship between the varieties.【Conclusion】The genetic basis of spring wheat breeding in Xinjiang was weak, and at the same time the genetic diversity was gradually lost. In the future, the collection and utilization of genetic resources should be strengthened in order to expand the basis of breeding parental selection and increase the abundance and breadth of variety variation and in addition to that, the breeding objective should focus on multiple resistance, high yield and stable yield, high quality and high efficiency, thus accelerating the breeding process of new varieties and improving efficiency.

    【Objective】 To explore the effects of drought stress on photosynthetic characteristics of sugar beet root during expansion period. 【Methods】 Two irrigation treatments were set up with H1352 (drought-tolerant type) and 81GM26 (drought-sensitive type) sugar beet varieties, and the maximum net photosynthetic rate (Pnmax), dark breath rate (Rd), apparent quantum efficiency (AQY), light compensation point (LCP) and light saturation point (LSP) main photosynthetic parameters were obtained by simulating the response curves of leaf net photosynthetic rate and light intensity.【Results】 The results showed that the leaf Pn of H1352 and 81GM26 sugar beet varieties increased linearly with the increase of PAR, then increased rapidly, and finally became stable or decreased. Under different PAR conditions, the net photosynthetic rate of the leaves of the two varieties was higher than that of drought stress treatment, and with the increase of PAR, the difference between the two treatments reached a very significant level. Drought stress reduced the maximum net photosynthetic rate and light saturation point of the leaves (P<0.01). The difference among the treatments was very significant. The maximum net photosynthetic rates of H1352 and 81GM26 under drought stress were 24.8 and 21.0 μmol/(m2·s) , respectively, which were 18% and 26% lower than those of the control, respectively; The light compensation points were 600 and 601 μmol/(m2·s) , respectively, which were 18.5% and 16.4% lower than that of the control, respectively. The light adaptation range of the leaves was narrowed and the light energy utilization ability was reduced. Under the drought stress condition, the dark respiration rate of H1352 variety decreased significantly, which was 40.3% lower than that of the control, while there was no significant difference between the treatments of 81GM26 variety.【Conclusion】 When sugar beet root tuber was exposed to drought stress with water holding capacity 40% -45% field, the maximum net photosynthetic rate, dark respiration rate and light saturation point of sugar beet decreased, the light compensation point and apparent quantum efficiency varied with varieties, the range of light energy utilization narrowed and the ability of light energy utilization weakened. Under drought condition, the photosynthetic capacity of drought-tolerant variety H1352 was lower than that of drought-sensitive 81GM26.

    2020, 57(3): 450-463.  DOI: 10.6048/j.issn.1001-4330.2020.03.008
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1188KB) ( )  
    【Objective】 To screen out the yield index and drought resistance of rapeseed varieties with strong drought resistance, so as to lay a foundation for breeding drought resistance varieties. 【Methods】 Under the conditions of dry-land, the agronomic traits of the materials were first compared to analyze whether there was any difference between the materials. Secondly, the drought resistance identification yield index (DRC, SSI, DRI, DI) of the materials. Comparative analyses of index, DRI and DI were carried out. Finally, suitable drought resistance identification yield indicators were selected, and rapeseed varieties with strong drought resistance were screened in the tested materials. 【Results】 The results showed that the plant height and yield of 25 tested rapeseed varieties under different drought stresses decreased to varying degrees, and the differences among the materials were significant. Among the drought resistance identification yield indicators, (1) DRC and SSI could be used to evaluate the stability of the variety, but cannot reflect the yield of the dry land; (2) The DRI did not only investigate the yield stability of rape varieties, but also took into account the dryland yield, and compared with the average yield of the same group of dryland, which was more suitable for the identification of drought resistance of rapeseed varieties. (3) The revision formula of DI utilized the yield of the control varieties, which was the same as the trend of drought resistance ability of the tested rape varieties reflected by the DRI. By taking into account the absolute yield and drought resistance coefficient of the tested varieties in dryland and water land, the high yield and drought resistance of the tested varieties were evaluated. Therefore, the DRI and DI were suitable for the comprehensive drought resistance identification of rapeseed varieties. On this basis, among the three types of test materials, according to the DRI, DI and the two habitats (drought-land and water-land), Qingza 12, Qingza 11, Dalajie, Yao 328-331 and Dahuang were selected. 【Conclusion】 The DRI and DI of rapeseed drought resistance varieties are suitable for comprehensive evaluation and identification of drought resistance. The drought resistance varieties selected from 25 rapeseed resources based on screening indicators are Qingza 12, Qingza 11, Dalajie, Yao 328-331 and Dahuang.

    2020, 57(3): 507-518.  DOI: 10.6048/j.issn.1001-4330.2020.03.015
    Abstract ( )   PDF (1779KB) ( )  
    【Objective】 As an important group of natural enemies, ladybug has great potential for exploitation and utilization. In order to provide scientific guidance for the protection and utilization of natural enemies in Yili valley, a systematic investigation of ladybug species in Yili valley, Xinjiang was conducted. 【Method】In this study, the composition and distribution of ladybug species of 14 typical habitats in 90 sites in 9 counties and cities in Yili valley, Xinjiang were investigated by net and visual methods.【Result】A total of 1,173 specimens belonging to 20 species of 11 genera of 3 subfamilies were obtained, among which the dominant species were Hippodamia variegate and Propylea quaturodecimpunctata. Coccinulla sinensis (Weise,1889) was a new record species in Xinjiang. There were significant differences in the species composition and community structure of ladybug in different habitats. Ladybug species in weed habitat were the most abundant, up to 13 species, while ladybug species in apple orchard habitat were the least, only 1 species. The species diversity analysis showed that the diversity indexes of wheat and paddy fields in different habitat systems were the highest, which were 0.710,942 and 0.693,948, and the richness indexes were also high, while the evenness indexes were poor, which were 0.396,785 and 0.356,619, and the dominance indexes were also low. However, the first three diversity indexes of apple orchard and peach orchard were very low, but the dominance indexes were the highest. In different areas, the diversity indexes of Nilke County and Yining County were very high, 0.703,382 and 0.667,679 respectively, and the richness indexes were also very high, 1.257,681 and 1.645,922 respectively, but the evenness indexes of these two counties were poor, 0.361,467 and 0.289,969 respectively, and the dominance index was also low. The diversity index of Tex County was the lowest, 0.301,030, and the richness index was lower, 0.378,923, while the dominance index was the highest, 0.500,000. 【Conclusion】The more frequent the external intervention, the worse the distribution of ladybug species and the diversity of species and groups. The more single community structure was, the more unstable the ecosystem was, which affected the change of ladybug community structure in Yili valley. It is suggested that the protection and utilization of natural enemies of ladybugs should be strengthened in Yining County, Nilke County and other areas with the most abundant ladybug species.

    【Objective】 Cydia pomonella and Grapholitha molesta are important fruit borers in fragrant pear orchard in Southern Xinjiang region, which have the latent threat to fragrant pear industry on account of some adaptable characteristics such as hidden habitat, boring damage, strong stress resistance to adversity and mixing co-occurrence on the same host plants. Chemical pesticides are used frequently, but their control effect is low, so it is particularly urgent and important to explore their new control approaches. 【Method】In this study, we compared the number of C. pomonella and G. molesta in different trap types, different traps color, different heights and azimuth, and different number of sex lures; and discussed occurrence dynamics and key technology of sex pheromone luring C. pomonella and G. molesta in Fragnant Pear Orchard. 【Result】The results showed that there were 4 generations in C. pomonella and G. molesta 5 generations a year in the orchard. Several traps had a certain effect on C. pomonella and G. molesta, in which the ship type plate adhesive trap had the best effect, the total amount of G. molesta was 1,832, the total amount of C. pomonella was 581, the second was the basin trap, but green and blue basin traps were not significant. When the trap was set at a height of 1.5 m, the trapping effect of C. pomonella and G. molesta was the best. However, the effect of setting up a height of 1.5 and 2.0 m for C. pomonella and G. molesta were not significant, but they were significantly better than the trap’s height of 1.0 m, and the effect of the western and northern bit set C. pomonella and G. molesta were significantly better than that in the east and the south, and the largest number of G. molesta and C. pomonella appeared in the northern and in the western azimuth respectively. The largest number of sex lure cores had the best effect on C. pomonella and G. molesta, but the lure cores between 1 and 2 were no significantly different. 【Conclusion】In fragrant pear orchard, two kinds of fruit borers can be effectively controlled by using sex trapping techniques of C. pomonella and G. molesta correctly and reasonably.

    【Objective】 The purpose of this study was to provide a theoretical basis for ecological control and sustainable control of Scotogramma trifolii, in order to determine the selection preference of host plants and population fitness of Scotogramma trifolii. 【Method】The oviposition selection rate, larval feeding rate, growth and development index and population parameters were investigated by field cage experiment and indoor feeding experiment. 【Result】The oviposition selection rate of Scotogramma trifolii was Chenopodium album L. > cotton > sugar beet > Chinese cabbage, larva feeding selectivity from high to low was sugar beet > Chinese cabbage > Chenopodium album L. > cotton. The larval duration of the four host plants was cotton > sugar beet > Chinese cabbage > Chenopodium album L., and pupal duration was cotton > sugar beet > Chenopodium album L. > Chinese cabbage. The pupa weight of Scotogramma trifolii fed with Chinese cabbage, cotton was slightly heavier than that fed with Chenopodium album L., sugar beet. The hatching rates of Scotogramma trifolii fed with four host plants were between 81.97% and 87.26%. The larvae fed with Chenopodium album L. had the highest survival rate (82.93%), while those fed with cotton had the lowest survival rate (22.50%). The pupae of Scotogramma trifolii fed with cotton had the highest survival rate (100.00%), while those fed with sugar beet had the lowest survival rate (82.36%). The eclosion rate of Scotogramma trifolii fed with Chenopodium album L. was the highest (91.36%), while that fed with sugar beet was the lowest (71.38%). The fecundity of Scotogramma trifolii fed with Chinese cabbage was the highest (367.30 eggs / female), while those fed with cotton were the lowest (274.70 eggs / female). 【Conclusion】Cotton, Chinese cabbage, sugar beet, and Chenopodium album L. are hosts of Scotogramma trifolii. Chenopodium album L, Chinese cabbage and sugar beet are the suitable hosts for Scotogramma trifolii. Chenopodium album L. is the most preferred host for oviposition, sugar beet and Chinese cabbage are the most preferred hosts for larval feeding. The oviposition preference of Scotogramma trifolii is not consistent with that of feeding choice. Feeding four hosts had no significant effect on egg duration, adult duration, hatching rate and fecundity, but had significant effect on larval duration, pupal duration, generation duration, larval survival rate, pupal survival rate, eclosion rate and pupa weight. There were some differences in the fitness of Scotogramma trifolii to different host plants.

    【Objective】 The purpose of this research was to isolate, identify the species of Entomopathogenic nematodes in natural Populus euphratica forests in Xinjiang and test its insecticidal activity in the hope of providing a new choice for biological control of the insects. 【Method】 The EPNs were induced by Galleria mellonella and collected with white-trap method, and then identified with molecular and morphology and finally biological characteristics were tested by different dosages of EPNs to Galleria mellonella (Gm) and Tenebrio molitor (Tm). 【Results】 The results showed that EPNs existed in natural Populus euphratica forests in Xinjiang, and the detection rate was up to 25%. The phylogenetic analysis of 18S rDNA showed that it had the closest evolutionary relationship with Steinernema litorale strain Pak.S.P.7, and the obtained Genebank accession No was: MK416208. Morphological analysis showed that most of the eigenvalues of Steinernema litorale - Bachu were almost the same with the Steinernema litorale type strain, but the main differences were that: compared to the type strain, the length (1461.01 μm) of first generation male was slightly longer, the distance from anterior end to excretory pore (86.98 μm) was shorter, the spicule length (69.49 μm) was shorter, values of D% (60.45) and SW% (158.21) were lower; Compared to the type strain, the length (885.88 μm) of infective juveniles and tail were shorter. The phylogenetic analysis of 16S rDNA of symbiotic bacteria was the closest to Xenorhabdus bovienii strain Zakharovos. The insecticidal analysis of infective juveniles showed that the mortality was 100% within 36 hours in 160 IJs/Gm and above treatment groups. Mortality was 50% in 40 IJs/Tm and 75% in 160 IJs/Tm and above treatment groups for Tenebrio molitor within 60 hours. 【Conclusion】 The research first discovered the distribution of EPNs (Steinerma litorale) in natural Populus euphratica forest in Xinjiang, and it has high insecticidal activity. This will provide a resource reserve and research foundation for the exploitation of EPNs resources in natural Populus euphratica forests and the biological control of pests in Populus euphratica forests based on EPNs in Xinjiang in the future.

    【Objective】 To analyze the effects of the disposal methods of fresh soil sample collection, preservation, extraction and storage of extract on the error of soil nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen determination results, and explore the ways to reduce errors in measurement results. 【Methods】 Through literature collection, sorting and statistical analysis, the effects of methods of collection, preservation, extraction and storage of leaching liquid on the error of soil nitrate and ammonium nitrogen determination results were comprehensively analyzed. 【Results】 It was so easy to cause the measurement data error that the laboratory measurement procedure had strict error control, and the soil sample collection and preparation link. When soil samples were collected and transported outdoors or at low temperature, the contents of nitrate and ammonium nitrogen in soil would increase. When soil samples were dried by wind or by heat and preserved, the content of nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen increased. The contents of them by cold storage for a long time would increase, but the change was the least, and the determination results of different extractants and different extraction time would be different, and the way of extraction solution preservation would have a significant effect on the results. 【Conclusion】 The key way to determine the nitrogen content in the fresh soil is to accelerate the sampling speed, sample storage and transportation, extraction and so on. In addition, the method of collecting and preparing soil samples within the error range was also proposed.

    【Objective】 In the project, three types of four curing agents samples suitable for Gobi desert and soil in Xinjiang were selected to analyze the effects of such factors as the type of curing agent, the dosage of curing agent and the cement amount on the mechanical properties of the non-afable Gobi desert and soil in Xinjiang based on the combination program offered by the manufacturer. 【Method】According to the relevant regulations in the Standard for Soil Test Method (GBT50123-1999) and the Test Method of Materials Stabilized with Inorganic Binders for Highway Engineering (JTG E51-2009), seven days’ unconfined compressive strength were tested and studied on the samples of undisturbed Gobi desert and soil and stabilized Gobi desert and soil. Combined with the physical properties of Gobi desert and soil (grain size distribution, maximum dry density and optimal moisture content), the effects of various factors on the compaction performance and unconfined compressive strength of stabilized soil were analyzed.【Results】(1) The soil particle size was larger than 2 mm and the content was 68.8%, the maximum dry density was 2.28 g/cm3, the coefficient of non-uniformity of soil material was 93.33, and the coefficient of curvature was 1.07. The Gobi desert and soil sample was the good round gravel soil. (2) Compared with the stabilized soil samples, both of the maximum dry density and optimum moisture content of the undisturbed soil with four kinds of curing agents and the undisturbed soil without curing agents increased, but with the increase of the dosage of curing agents, the effects of three types of curing agents on the maximum dry density and optimal moisture content of soil were different. (3) In line with the increasing content of curing agents, the unconfined compressive strength increased. When the cement amount was the same, in terms of the unconfined compressive strength, the soil with 0.02% 1# ionic curing agents was 1. 1 - 1.19 times higher than that with the other three curing agents. 【Conclusions】Four kinds of curing agents have good curing effects on the uncultivated Gobi desert and soil in Xinjiang, among which, the curing effects of 1# ionic curing agents stand out, and the ratio of performance to price is the highest. The results of this study can provide some reference for the application of curing agent curing solar greenhouse wall in the non-arable Gobi desert area of Xinjiang.
