    In order to explore the response of physicochemical properties and adsorption properties of biochar to pyrolysis temperature and time, and clarify the appropriate time for preparing biochar at different pyrolysis temperatures, the garden waste branches were used as raw materials, and 5 pyrolysis times (12, 24, 36, 48, 60 min) were set at conventional pyrolysis temperatures of 450 and 650 ℃. The effects of pyrolysis time on biochar yield, pH, ash content, aromaticity, hydrophilicity, polarity and iodine adsorption value at different pyrolysis temperatures were analyzed. The results showed that the yield of biochar decreased with the increase of pyrolysis time. At 450 ℃, compared with 12 min pyrolysis treatment, the yield of biochar decreased significantly under 24, 36, 48 and 60 min pyrolysis treatments, but there was no significant difference among these treatments, and the above changes were consistent with those at 650 ℃. With the increase of pyrolysis time, the pH, ash content and aromaticity of biochar increased continuously, while the hydrophilicity and polarity decreased continuously. At 450 ℃, there was little or no significant difference in each index under 48 and 60 min pyrolysis treatments. At 650 ℃, there was no significant difference in pH of biochar under 24, 36, 48 and 60 min pyrolysis treatments, and there was no significant change in ash content, aromaticity, hydrophilicity and polarity of biochar under 36, 48 and 60 min pyrolysis treatments. With the increase of pyrolysis time, the iodine adsorption value of biochar increased continuously. At 450 ℃, the iodine adsorption value of biochar was the largest under 48 and 60 min pyrolysis treatments, which was higher than other treatments. At 650 ℃ for 36, 48 and 60 min pyrolysis, the pyrolysis time had no significant effect on the iodine adsorption value of biochar. Based on the changes of physical and chemical properties and adsorption properties of biochar, the pyrolysis time required for the preparation of biochar at 450 ℃ should not be less than 48 min, and the pyrolysis time at 650 ℃ should not be less than 36 min. Above the time value, the effect of pyrolysis time on the properties and functions of biochar should be significantly reduced.

    To evaluate white tea products of different types and grades objectively and systematically, ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) technology was used to detect and analyze main chemical compounds such as catechins and theanine in white tea standard samples of different types and different grades of the same type, using Chinese white tea standard samples as the test material. The results showed that, with the decrease of grade, the overall “fragrance and flavor” gradually weaken, and the taste changes from clean and umami to clean and sweet, and then to mellow and thick. Compared with different grades of white tea, it was found that there was a significant positive correlation between the grades of white tea and arginine (Arg), aspartic acid (Asp), threonine (Thr). Among them, Asp decreased with the decrease of grade, so Asp was the key main chemical compounds that determined the taste differences of different grades of Baihao Yinzhen, Baimudan, Gongmei and Shoumei. Partial least squares-discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) of main chemical compounds in samples of different types revealed that the variable importance projection (VIP) values of 12 compounds including alanine (Ala), theanine (L-Thea), histidine (His), lysine (Lys), as well as epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), were greater than or equal to 1.0. Analysis of main chemical compounds in samples of the same type with different grades revealed that characteristic main chemical compounds exhibited were proline (Pro), His, L-Thea and phenylalanine (Phe). Above results provided theoretical reference for the evaluation and analysis of the flavor quality of white tea products in China, and had reference value for the quality level discrimination of white tea products with different types and different grades of the same type.

    In order to study the effects of adding different types of rice straw on soil bacterial communities under continuous cropping of flue-cured tobacco, fresh rice straw (FS) and rotted rice straw (RS) were added in soil, with no straw as control (CK). The community composition and diversity of soil bacteria and fungi at different times (0, 7, 30, 60 and 90 d) under 3 treatments were studied by high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that fresh rice straw and rotted rice straw could significantly improve the diversity and richness of soil microbial community. After 90 d in FS and RS treatments, the Chao 1 index, Shannon index and Simpson index of bacteria and the Chao 1 index of fungi were significantly improved. The analysis of community structure composition showed that FS and RS treatments increased the relative abundances of Proteobacteria, Spirochaetes and Verrucomicrobia. FS treatment increased the relative abundance of Basidiomycota, and decreased the relative abundances of Chytridiomycota and Rozellomycota. RS treatment increased the relative abundances of Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, and decreased the relative abundances of Zygomycota and Chytridiomycota. In summary, the addition of fresh rice straw and rotted rice straw could change the community composition of soil bacteria and fungi, improve the health status of soil with continuous cropping of flue-cured tobacco. Compared with rotted rice straw treatment, fresh rice straw treatment increased the abundance of pathogenic fungi.

    To clarify the taxonomy of the pathogen causing a new bacterial leaf spot disease on fig (Ficus carica) in Fuzhou in 2020, diseased fig leaves were collected as test materials. The bacterial strains were isolated from the diseased leaves by streak plate method, and then the pathogenicity of the strains was determined by tobacco allergic reaction, spray inoculated fig leaves and Koch’s rule. The pathogen was identified based on morphological characteristics, physiological and biochemical determination, and phylogenetic tree analysis using partial sequences of 16S rDNA, gyrB and rpoD. The results showed that 10 bacterial strains were isolated and purified from the diseased leaves, healthy fig leaves demonstrated similar symptoms as the specimen collected from fields, and the identical morphological bacterial strains were re-isolated from diseased fig leaves. Thus, all of the bacterial strains were identified as the causal pathogens of bacterial leaf spot disease by Koch’s rule. The colony morphology was light yellow, round, and flat on the NA medium after 2 d of culture, and the gram staining reaction was negative. The bacterial strains could produce green water-soluble fluorescent on KB medium. The sequencing analysis based on 16S rDNA, gyrB and rpoD showed that the test strains were clustered with Pseudomonas cichorii; and the results of physiological and biochemical characteristics, Biolog phenotypes instrument, and specific primers were similar to the P. cichorii strain 5707, therefore the 10 isolated bacterial strains were identified as P. cichorii. It was the first report that P. cichorii could naturally cause the leaf spot disease in F. carica.

    SDS sedimentation value is an important indicator for wheat quality breeding. In this study, genome-wide association study (GWAS) on SDS-sedimentation value was performed in 145 wheat accessions. The results revealed that a cluster of significant signals was identified at the end of 3DL, and combined with the position of the peak SNP and the distance of LD decay, the candidate interval 587.514~589.514 Mb was further determined. Then, variation sites of candidate genes within this region were explored based on the resequencing data ( http://wheat.cau.edu.cn/WheatUnion/ ), and candidate gene association study (CGAS) was conducted in combination with SDS-sedimentation value. By integrating association results, gene annotation and gene expression analysis, TraesCS3D03G1092400 was identified as the SDS-sedimentation value-related candidate gene, and was tentatively named TaAGAP-3D. Additionally, a KASP marker Sv-3D-KASP for breeding was developed based on the polymorphic SNP of this gene, and found that TaAGAP-3D(C) was a favorable allele for SDS-sedimentation value. Altogether, these findings provide an effective molecular marker for the genetic improvement of SDS-sedimentation value in wheat, and also provide a reference for further cloning of quality genes.

    To study the effect of integrated microbiome agent (IMA) on tomato plant growth, using greenhouse substrate cultivation method, 3 treatments were set including old substrate (TA), old substrate+10% IMA and new substrate (TC). The growth of tomato and rhizosphere bacterial community diversity under different treatments were determined. The results showed that, compared with TA treatment, TB treatment significantly promoted the growth of tomato plant, but had little effect on the nutritional status of old substrate. Therefore, IMA should be used in conjunction with other (biological) organic fertilizers to improve the microbial population structure and nutritional composition of the substrate. A total of 40 phyla, 121 classes, 291 orders, 438 families and 748 genera were detected by 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology, and Proteobacteria was the most abundant phyla with relative abundance 35.24%-38.25%, Actinomycetes (13.20%~20.60%) followed. TB treatment significantly increased the relative abundance of Actinomycetes, and decreased the abundance of Firmicutes, but had little effect on the diversity and richness of bacterial community in substrate. Actinomyces and Proteobacteria were positively correlated with total potassium, total nitrogen and organic matter contents, but negatively correlated with total phosphorus content and pH. Firmicutes, Chloromyces and Acidobacteria were positively correlated with the total phosphorus content and pH, and negatively correlated with the contents of total potassium, total nitrogen and organic matter. Among the substrate physical and chemical factors, the pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and total potassium contents had significant effects on the bacterial community, and total nitrogen was the most important environmental factor. Therefore, during the repeated use of tomato substrate, the application of IMA should be combined with the appropriate nitrogen fertilizer, which should beneficial to increase the nutrient contents of substrate and improve the substrate microbial community structure, so as to ensure the good development of tomato substrate ecosystem.

The effects of T. harzianum application sequence on biological characteristics, physiological characteristics and induced resistance of tobacco infected by Phytophthora were analyzed. The results showed that, in the growth of tobacco plants, the agronomic characters of tobacco plants with T4 treatment increased the most, and the dry and fresh weight of underground parts increased by 103.73% and 8.30% compared with CK. In the physiological characteristics of tobacco plants, T. harzianum could reduce the inhibition of Phytophthora on photosynthetic pigment accumulation and root activity of tobacco plants, and significantly increase both of them, and it could also strengthen the activities of enzymes related to carbon and nitrogen metabolism in tobacco plants. After transplanting 21 d, the activities of nitrate reductase and glutamine synthetase with T4 treatment increased by 13.14% and 6.40%, respectively. In the control effect, T4 treatment had the lowest incidence and disease index, which were 39.39% and 13.89%, and the highest antioxidant enzyme activity. In conclusion, there were significant differences in the physiological response of tobacco plants to the inoculation sequence of T. harzianum. In production, T. harzianum should be inoculated in advance to promote the growth and development of tobacco and inhibit the incidence of black shank disease. Above results laid a theoretical foundation for the regulation of tobacco growth and development and the comprehensive prevention and control of black shank.

    In order to improve xylose utilization efficiency of fermentation strains, the regulation mechanism of xylose metabolism in filamentous fungi Myceliophthora thermophila was investigated using genetic methods and transcriptomic techniques. The results showed that the transcription factor XlnR could positively regulate xylose metabolism and transport, as well as hemicellulase gene expression in M. thermophila, and was required for conidia germination under xylose conditions. Under xylose condition, the conidia of mutant ΔxlnR lost the ability to germinate, and the xylose utilization efficiency of mycelia was significantly decreased, while the xylose utilization efficiency was increased by 14.2% due to xlnR overexpression. Transcriptomic analysis showed that knockout of xlnR resulted in lower transcription levels of the genes involved in xylanolytic enzymes, xylose transporter, and xylose catabolic pathway. The global regulatory factor Cre-1 was an inhibitor of xylose and glucose metabolism. Disruption of cre-1 could significantly improve the utilization efficiency of xylose and glucose in M. thermophila. Meanwhile, the Cre-1 could directly inhibit the expression of xlnR and itself. The overexpression of xlnR and knockout of cre-1 made the xylose metabolic utilization efficiency increased by 100%. Above results provided a good starting strain for the establishment of the cell chassis for the efficient utilization of biomass.

    In order to study the effects of drought stress on physiological characteristics of foxtail millet at seedling stage and the alleviating effect of exogenous abscisic acid (ABA), different drought tolerant foxtail millet varieties Jigu 22 and Lugu 1 were used as materials to conduct pot experiment. The effects of 20% PEG6000 simulated dehydration stress at seedling stage and spraying 0.1 mmol L-1 ABA on morphological character, activities of antioxidant enzymes and ascorbate peroxidase (APX), contents of malondialdehyd (MDA), proline (Pro), soluble sugar (SS) and soluble protein (SP) in 2 different foxtail millet varieties were analyzed. The results showed that the relative seedling height of Jigu 22 after drought stress for 4 d was 81.49%,which was higher than that of Lugu 1. MDA content in leaves of the 2 varieties increased after drought stress. On the 7th day of stress, MDA content in Jigu 22 increased by 3.03%, and that in Lugu 1 increased by 33.61% compared with control. The MDA content was significantly reduced after application of exogenous ABA. Exogenous ABA promoted the activities of superoxide dismutase(SOD), peroxidase(POD), catalase(CAT) and APX. Osmotic adjustment substances Pro, SS and SP were synthesized in large amounts to maintain osmoregulation and alleviate the damage of drought stress on foxtail millet seedlings. The effect of exogenous ABA on the drought-tolerant variety Jigu 22 was more obvious under drought stress. The effect of exogenous ABA on Lugu 1 was relatively weak, especially on the 7th day of drought stress, and the physiological and growth characteristics recovered slowly. In summary, ABA could effectively alleviate the damage of physiological function and the effect of drought stress on seedling growth of foxtail millet. Different drought resistance varieties foxtail millet had different sensitivity to ABA. The varieties with strong drought resistance were more sensitive to ABA, the mitigation effect of ABA on drought was more obvious. Above results provided theoretical bases for revealing the physiological mechanism of foxtail millet response to drought stress and the application of exogenous ABA.

The findings revealed that China had established 84 regional public brands of food legumes, but the average annual growth rate dropped to 1.2%. 1/3 of the planting provinces accountted for 3/4 of the brands, with 90% of the brands concentrated in mung beans, adzuki beans, broad beans, peas and kidney beans. In comparison to other agricultural products, the regional public brand value of food legumes ranked in the middle to lower range, with brand premium rates varying between 12.63% and 2 058.70%. The development of legume brands was hindered by the lack of top-level design, insufficient development efforts, underutilization of potential medicinal properties and an imperfect entry-exit mechanism. Based on these findings, several recommendations were proposed, including the development of innovative products, strengthening of strategic planning, categorization and cultivation of regional public brands and improvement of the brand entry-exit framework.

    In order to explore the effect of different grazing intensities on the stability of soil aggregates, the long-term grazing experimental platform (grazing prohibition, mild, moderate and heavy grazing intensity) of desert steppe established in Xilamuren, Damao Banner, Baotou City, Inner Mongolia was selected as the research object. The soil water stable aggregates in the soil layer from 0 to 40 cm under different grazing intensities were measured, and the composition, stability and anti-erodibility characteristics of aggregates under different grazing intensities were analyzed. The results showed that the grazing intensity had a great influence on the content of soil water-stable macroaggregates, and the contents of soil water-stable macroaggregates under different grazing intensities were 73.00%~89.93%. With the increase of grazing intensity, the content of aggregates increased firstly and then decreased. The mean weight diameter (MWD) and geometric mean diameter (GMD) of light and moderate grazing intensities were higher than those of grazing prohibition. The correlation analysis showed that the contents of soil water-stable macroaggregates, MWD and GMD were significantly negatively correlated with soil erodibility factor. In summary, moderate grazing could enhance the stability of soil aggregates, improve soil erosion resistance and maintain long-term sustainable development of grassland.

    Heat shock protein 70 (HSP70) constitutes a highly conserved and potent protein family. However, the investigation of HSP70 in Thinopyrum elongatum has not been documented. To identify and study HSP70 gene family in Thinopyrum elongatumTeHSP70 genes were identified based on the systematic application of bioinformatics methods and their expression patterns under salt stress and in different tissues were systematically analyzed. The results showed that a total of 29 TeHSP70 genes were identified in Thinopyrum elongatum, which was categorized into 3 subfamilies and evenly distributed across 7 chromosomes. There were 26 TeHSP70 genes localized in cytoplasm, and all 29 TeHSP70 genes included alpha-helix, extended strand, beta-turn and random coil. The TeHSP70s genes exhibited highly conserved motifs and diverse gene structures, and included multiple hormonal and stress-responsive cis-acting elements in upstream. The collinearity analysis revealed the presence of 3 collinear gene pairs, as well as tandem repeat and segment repeat events, within 29 TeHSP70 genes, and there were numerous homologous gene pairs among Thinopyrum elongatum, rice and wheat, whereas there was a scarcity of such pairs between Thinopyrum elongatum and Arabidopsis. Protein interaction network analysis revealed that there were 11 TeHSP70 genes with a complex and closely protein interaction network. Analysis of expression patterns showed that, with increasing of salt stress (0~300 mmol·L-1), 7 TeHSP70 genes exhibited continuous up-regulation and 6 TeHSP70 genes showed continuous down-regulation, while the remaining 16 members either did not show any expression or displayed inconsistent changes. Similarly, 25 TeHSP70 genes were expressed across all tissues, and 4 TeHSP70 genes were only expressed in some tissues. Above results provided effective references for further analysis of HSP70 genes function of Thinopyrum elongatum.

    In order to improve the fertilization discharge performance of variable fertilization of seeder, the fertilizer discharge performance of external groove wheel fertilizer applicator was studied based on discrete element method. Firstly, the discrete element material simulation parameters were determined through fertilizer calibration test. Then, based on the optimization module design experiment of Isight software, with the working length and rotational speed of the outer groove wheel as factors and the coefficient of variation of fertilizer uniformity as the response design experiment, the second-order regression equation of the coefficient of variation of fertilizer uniformity of the fertilizer discharger was obtained. Based on the obtained regression equation, the influence of the working length and rotational speed combination of the outer groove wheel on fertilization stability within a specific fertilizer amount range was analyzed. For fertilizer application rate of 300 kg·hm-2, the external groove wheel flow equation was used as a constraint to optimize the solution. The optimal combination of fertilizer discharge parameters for the external groove wheel fertilizer applicator was groove wheel working length of 60 mm and rotation speed of 30 r·min-1. The optimal fertilization parameter combination was used for fertilization simulation experiments, and the coefficient of variation of fertilization uniformity was 11.7%, which met the fertilization requirements. Above results provided a reference for parameter allocation in the operation of the 2BMJ series no-tillage precision seeder.

    In order to study the differences of leaf area and photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics among different nitrogen efficiency island cotton cultivars under different nitrogen fertilizer levels, the high nitrogen-efficient variety Miancheng 10 (MC10) and low nitrogen-efficient variety Xinhai 14 (XH14) were as test materials, and 3 nitrogen application treatments were set up including 0 (N0), 320 (N1) and 480 kg·hm-2 (N2). The leaf area, photosynthetic fluorescence characteristics, yield and response characteristics to nitrogen fertilizer of different cultivars were studied. The results showed that the application of nitrogen fertilizer significantly increased the leaf area of single plant, net photosynthetic rate (Pn), and stomatal conductance (Gs) of island cotton, and those of MC10 were higher than those of XH14, with the increase of 7.5%~22.4%, 14.5%~38.0%, and 32.4%~111.1%, respectively. The relative variable fluorescence curves (ΔVt) of 2 varieties fluctuated greatly at K point, and N2 and N0 treatment were significantly higher than N1, XH14 was lower than MC10 under N0 treatment, and XH14 was higher than MC10 under N1 and N2 treatment. The proportion of variable fluorescence FK to FJ-FO amplitude (WK), the relative variable fluorescence intensity (VJ) at J point and the initial slope (Mo) of OJIP fluorescence induction curve were all shown as N2>N0>N1, the decrease range of N0 and N2 treatment compared with N1 treatment was MC10>XH14. While the maximum photochemical efficiency (φPo) in photosystem Ⅱ (PSⅡ), the ability to transfer electrons to downstream electron transport chains (ψo ) and the quantum yield (φEo) used for electron transport showed opposite trend. The maximum photosynthetic quantum efficiency (Fv/Fm), potential photochemical activity (Fv/Fo), the performance index based on absorbing light energy (PIABS) and the potential performance index (PItotal) of energy reduction from photons absorbed by PSⅡ to PSⅠ terminal acceptors showed a trend of increase firstly and then decrease with the increase of nitrogen application rate, MC10 was higher than XH14. And both varieties had the lowest values of Fv/FmFv/Fo, PIABS and PItotal under N2 conditions, of which the decrease range of XH14 was the most. Nitrogen application could significantly increase the number of bolls, boll weight and yield per plant of island cotton. Compared with XH14, the yield per plant of MC10 increased by 16.9%~33.8%, 3.3%~7.7%, 19.4%~41.7% respectively. In conclusion, no nitrogen and high nitrogen treatment caused PSⅡ damage of island cotton leaves to varying degrees, reduced photosynthetic performance, and there was the difference among varieties. Above results provided a theoretical basis for the selection and cultivation of high-efficiency nitrogen varieties in the future.

    To explore the effects of different agronomic traits on yield, and screen suitable varieties of foxtail millet for planting in western Jilin, 23 agronomic traits and yield of 20 millet varieties were tracked and measured on important growth stages. Variation analysis, partial correlation analysis, correlation analysis and path analysis were used to evaluate. The results showed that the coefficient of variation of single grain weight was the largest (15.3%), while the coefficient of variation of growth period was the smallest (5.9%). The number of stems during heading stage, number of stems during maturity stage, number of leaves during tillering stage, number of leaves during heading stage, length of the second last leaf during maturity stage, spike thickness, single panicle weight, single grain weight, and 1 000-grain weight jointly accounted for 98.6% of the variation in yield. The partial correlation analysis showed that the yield was significantly correlated with the number of stems during heading stage, number of leaves during heading stage, spike thickness, and single grain weight, with partial correlation coefficients of -0.687, 0.642, 0.647 and 0.573, respectively. The correlation analysis showed that spike length, single panicle weight, and single grain weight were significantly positively correlated with the yield, with correlation coefficients of 0.601, 0.958 and 0.962, respectively; the spike thickness was positively correlated with the yield, with correlation coefficient of 0.559. The path analysis showed that the number of stems during maturity stage, number of leaves during heading stage, length of the second last leaf during maturity stage, spike thickness, single grain weight, and 1 000-grain weight had direct positive effects on yield. In conclusion, Jigu 168, Zhonggu 9 and Nenxuan 18 were mid-maturing and high-yield cultivars suitable for planting in semi-arid areas of western Jilin. Single grain weight and single panicle weight should be the main selection criteria, with the number of stems during heading stage, number of leaves during heading stage and spike thickness as supporting criteria for field screening and cultivar selection. Above results provided a basis for breeding new foxtail millet varieties and screening high-yield strains in semi-arid areas of western Jilin.

    In order to study the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal(AM) fungi on plant growth under heavy metal stress, the effects of AM fungus Funneliformis mosseae on the growth, photosynthetic characteristics, Cd absorption and enrichment of Setaria viridis at different levels(0, 10, 30, 50 mg·kg-1)of Cd were studied. The results showed that under the same level of Cd stress, AM fungi significantly increased the plant height, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, apparent quantum efficiency and biomass of S. viridis. When the level of Cd was 50 mg·kg-1, the plant height, chlorophyll content, net photosynthetic rate, transpiration rate, stomatal conductance, apparent quantum efficiency and biomass of S. viridis inoculated with AM were significantiy increased by 51%, 24%, 33%, 33%, 26%, 45% and 51%, respectively, compared with those treated without AM (P<0.05). Under the same level of Cd stress, AM fungi significantly increased Cd contents in roots, aboveground enrichment, root enrichment and Cd enrichment coefficient of S. viridis. The level of Cd was 50 mg·kg-1, compared with the control without inoculation, the Cd contents in roots, aboveground enrichment and root enrichment of S. viridis inoculated with AM increased by 39%, 18% and 100%, respectively, which significantly promoted the absorption and enrichment of Cd by S. viridis.

    As information technology advances, the collection, processing, analysis and application of agricultural data have become the primary driving force of smart agriculture. In traditional smart agricultural management systems, it is usually required to centralize agricultural data on a central server for analysis and model training, which often poses the risk of data leakage. The leakage of key agricultural privacy data seriously affects the interests of farmers and agricultural institutions, so many the farmers and institutions will carefully handle the issue of sharing original data. To address this issue, federated learning allows different agricultural institutions, farms and agricultural enterprises to complete the training of farming decision models under the condition of only sharing encrypted models, reducing the risk of agricultural privacy data leakage and protecting the legitimate rights and interests of data providers. The theoretical development, technological innovation and practical application of federated learning technology in the field of smart agriculture were introduced. Based on the development trend of smart agriculture systems, it proposed design suggestions for a smart agriculture system based on federated learning. This paper provided references for researchers and practitioners in related fields, offering theoretical value and practical guidance for advancing agricultural data science, ensuring agricultural data security and enhancing the level of agricultural intelligence.
