Proper water stress could advance the flowering period and increase the flowering percentage of Curcuma kwangsiensis‘Manao'. The effects of water stress on germination and flowering of Curcuma kwangsiensis‘Manao' during germination and hydroponics were studied. The results showed that watering once every five days was the best method for germination,and that the germination percentage was 96%, flowering percentage achieved 68%,the flower height achieved 12.31 cm. The treatment with water stress for 6 d after hydroponics for 8 d, achieved the more higher flowering percentage and flower height than other treatments.It was found out that water stress for 3 d after hydroponics for 6 d, the lowest water percentage of rhizome was achieved,while the conductivity and proline content were higher than other treaments.Under this treatment, the normal physiological activities of the rhizomes was much more well.

Show Abstract ( 334 )
Passion fruit(Passiflora edulis)has become an important fruit in south China in recent years. Due to its asexual reproduction and planting for several years, virus diseases seriously affect the yield and quality of passion fruit. A disease survey was conducted on the passion fruit of Boluo, Huaiji, Wuhua, Xingning, Dapu, Xinfeng, Heping in Guangdong Province, and suspected samples were collected. The results indicated that virus diseases, with symptoms of mosaic, crinkle and mottle, were important diseases of passion fruit. The specific primers were designed based on the conservative sequences of Cucumber mosaic virus(CMV), Passion fruit woodiness virus(PWV), and Passiflora mottle virus(PaMV) to detect these viruses by RT-PCR, then sequenced and analyzed. The results showed that CMV was detected from Zixiang of Huaiji and Dapu, Tainong1 hao of Xinfeng, and PaMV from Mantianxing of Wuhua.

Show Abstract ( 347 )
In order to better identify the high and stable yield of waxy maize varieties(Zea mays L.sinensis Kulesh) in Guangdong, the regional test data of nine groups of new waxy maize combinations were analyzed by high stability coefficient and stability parameter method. The results showed that the top three combinations with the highest stability coefficient were Guangtiannuo 1, Jingkenuo 656 and Yuehuanuo 1. But simultaneously they showed a high and unstable yield in the analysis of stability parameters. Based on the data from the two analytical methods Guangtiannuo 1 was the best combination with high and stable yield in the regional test. This study indicated that the high stability coefficient method could reflect the high and stable yield of waxy maize varieties as a whole.

Free-hand sectioning is often used in the study of plant cell structure. However, the traditional method of free-hand sectioning needs high technical requirements and complicated destaining and staining. The free-hand sectioning to make slices of rice leaves was improved using two pieces of shaver, and the cell structure was observed through visible and ultraviolet light microscope. The result showed that the clearest cell structure and vascular bundle of leaves were obtained under blue fluorescence, which is fit to analysis the number and size of bulliform cell and cell in vascular bundle. Our results indicated that fluorescence microscopic observation for free-hand section was a very simple and so-easy learned technique.

Show Abstract ( 354 )
Supercritical carbon dioxide extraction was used to remove the lignin from the bark. The extraction process was optimized by orthogonal test of 4 factors and 3 levels. The component analysis was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS).The results showed that the sequence of factors affecting lignin removal from bark was temperature>pressure>entrainer volume>time. The lignin removal rate was 71.62% when the extraction temperature was 160 ℃, the extraction pressure was 20 MPa, the extraction time was 90 min and the entrainer was 2.0 mL.The results of GC-MS analysis showed that aldehydes, alcohols and ketones containing ethoxyl and pentacyclic structure existed in all extracts, which indicated that not only lignin but also cellulose and hemicellulose carbohydrates were degraded during the extraction process. Scanning electron microscopy was used to compare the skin texture before and after supercritical extraction. The results showed that after supercritical extraction, many holes appeared on the surface of the sample, and the smooth surface became rough and uneven.

Show Abstract ( 370 )
In order to improve the illumination uniformity and intensity of the LED light source for plant growth, in this study, the three kinds of arrangement patterns of LED light source beads were designed by Tracepro optical simulation software. And the arrangement schemes of equal spacing and arithmetic progression were constructed, and the best lamp bead arrangements were presented by comparing with the uniformity and the light intensity of every scheme. The simulation results showed that the arrangement and combination schemes had a certain influence on the irradiance and uniformity, and the uniformity of the light source of the double-line arrangement with the SA40 was higher than other methods. In order to verify the reliability of the arrangement, a real experiment was setup based on the simulation optimal result(SA40 double-line), the light source of the single-line arrangement(CK30) and the traditional LED white light was used as the control group to build illumination platforms combined with 6 light sources. The uniformity of the three sets of light sources was measured at a distance of 150 mm. The experimental results showed that the illumination uniformity of the double-line arrangement of SA40 had a good performance with 88.93% uniformity that the arrangement parameters were reasonable.
