To better understand the potential for improving grain yield, a split-plot experiment was conducted under a mobile rain shelter using NILs of winter wheat with significant differences in the photosynthetic rate: the 908120 line with a high photosynthetic rate and the 908206 line with a low photosynthetic rate. The results indicated that the net photosynthesis rate(Pn), stomatal conductance, and transpiration rate in flag leaves in line 908120 were significantly higher than that in line 908206 under uniform water treatments during the reproductive phase in replicated pooled-culture trials. The maximum quantum yield Fv/Fm value and ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase(RuBPCase) activity value were higher in line 908120 than that in line 908206, whereas the intercellular CO_2 and cell membrane permeability in line 908120 were lower than that in line 908206. Higher leaf Pn, transpiration rate, and RuBPCase activity and lower membrane ion leakage rate ensured the robustness of line 908120 during times of irrigation and drought, which contributed to the maintenance of its high grain yield. Drought had a negative effect on these factors, resulting in decreased yield, and the photosynthesis rate of flag leaves markedly affected the yield in NILs of winter wheat. NILs are an important strategy for wheat adaptation to drought stress, but might not be the only mechanism causing the significant grain yield increase. Collectively, the characteristics of line 908120 resulted in a higher grain yield compared with that of line 908206. Further dissection of the drought avoidance mechanisms in wheat, as well as analysis and identification of the genes involved may be necessary.展开更多

However, the field-scale carbon exchange on a peach orchard remains unclear. Here, using an eddy covariance technique, the net ecosystem carbon dioxide exchange and energy balance were analyzed on a coarse-sand-field, no-tillage, 12-year-old-peach orchard. The results showed that during full flowering, the ability to sequestrate carbon was significant, it reached on the peak of-0.33 mg （CO2） m^-2 s^-1. During rapid growth, the Bowen ratio was under 0.3 and daily net carbon sequestration reached on the peak of-25.1 g （CO2） m^-2 d^-1. During the leaf fall stage, there is a great deal of CO2 emissions, the peak value of carbon sequestration reached ＋0.60 mg （CO2） m^-2 s^-1. During monitoring period, the daily average of net carbon sequestration and Bowen ratio was 1.22 ± 1.56 and -2.90 ± 6.63 g （CO2） m^-2 d^-1, respectively. The net carbon sequestration could reach -1,052 g （CO2） m^-2 in a year. These results reveal that there is high carbon sequestration on a coarse-sand-field, no-tillage peach orchard.展开更多

The results show that, in the cases of nitrogen fertilizer types (urea and urea + nitrification inhibitor), for surface soil (0 - 40 cm soil depth), the temporal trend of soil nitrate-nitrogen content variation is similar: during the early stage of cucumber growth, soil nitrate-nitrogen content is relatively high;during the middle stage of cucumber growth, as nitrogen is constantly being absorbed by the vegetable, soil nitrate-nitrogen content decrease;during the late stage of cucumber growth, soil nitrate-nitrogen content increase, and increase more significantly when nitrification inhibitor is added in the fertilizer. For deep soil layer (40 - 100 cm depth), when only using urea, the temporal trend of soil nitrate-nitrogen content variation is that of continuous increase, when adding nitrification inhibitor, the temporal trend of soil nitrate-nitrogen content variation is that of insignificant increase. In the case of slow-release fertilizer, for both surface soil and deep soil layer, the temporal trend of soil nitrate-nitrogen content variation is that of continuous decrease. For all three types of nitrogen fertilizer, as fertilization level increase, soil nitrate-nitrogen content in various soil layers increase with it. In the case of fertilization at 300 kg/hm2 and 350 kg/hm2, adding nitrification inhibitor can increase soil retention of nitrogen fertilizer. This study suggests that adding nitrification inhibitors can increase soil retention of nitrogen fertilizer, decrease nitrate-nitrogen leaching downward, thereby reducing the pollution to groundwater.展开更多
