The morphological characters Yamada, O., Todoroki, J., Kizaki, K., Takahashi, T., Imai, K., of this population are very similar to P. lepidus Patel, O.V., Schuler, L.A. and Hashizume, K., 2002. previously reported from Taiwan. Additionally, Reproduction, 124: 427-437. ribosome DNA internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences of this population showed 85% (Received 4 September 2013, revised 10 January 2014) identity with that of P. lepidus from Taiwan. Key words: Ramie, pine nematode, morphology, ITS. Ramie (Boehmeria nivea L. Gaud), also called “China grass”, is a herbaceous perennial plant mainly planted in China, India and other Southeast Asian and Pacific Rim countries (Liu et al., 2013). For thousands of years, ramie is well known for its excellent fiber. More recently, its leaves and shoots were found to be good feed for goose and cow. As perennial plants, the storage roots of ramie are fat and fleshy and are attractive to larvae of cockchafer (Anomala corpulenta Motschulsky, Anomala exoleta Faldermann) - popularly known as white grub, larvae of Paraglenea fortunei (Saundeas) and nematode (Yu et al., 2011; Liu et al., 2012; Zhuo et al., 2013). In order to investigate plant parasitic nematode associated roots of ramie, a survey was performed in four provinces (Hunan, Hubei, Sichuan and Jiangxi) and a municipality (Chongxing) of China, in 2010 to 2011.

Photomicrographs were taken with Yuangjiang of Hunan, Dazhou of Sichuan and a digital camera linked to a computer, and Fuling of Chongqing. Among them, abundant pin measurements were made with the aid of imaging nematodes were isolated from Yuanjiang’s samples. software (Olympus DP-soft). The nematodes were preliminary identified as Paratylenchus according to body traits, such as fat, DNA extraction and PCR application short body and long stylet (Liu et al., 2012). Pin DNA of single nematode was extracted by nematodes are known to live outside of the plant proteinase K technique as described by Yu et al. roots and only feed epidermic cells.

The tube was submerged based on characters of morphology and rDNA-ITS in liquid nitrogen for 3-5 min, subsequently sequence. Chen et al.

The mixture associated with sugar apple, sweet orange and was incubated at 56°C for 15 min and 95°C for 10 buntan, based on morphology traits and rDNA ITS min in a thermal cycler. The mix was then sequence. Riga et al.

For replicates, 10 nematodes were hamatus by morphological traits. More recently, P. used to extract DNA, respectively. labiosus from different geographical areas in the For PCR amplification, a pair of universal continental United States were identified according primers, Pv1 (5’-ttgattacgtccctgcccttt-3’) and Pv2 to morphological and molecular characters (López (5’-tttcactcgccgttactaagg-3’) within the conserved et al., 2013). region (Vrain et al., 1992) of rDNA internal In the present study, we described pin transcribed space (ITS) sequence were used.

    RESETTLEMENT PLAN on the HUNAN ROADS DEVELOPMENT II PROJECT in THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA (PRC) Changde-Jishou Expressway Construction and Development Co. Ltd. Hunan, PRC This report was prepared by the Borrower and is not an ADB document. Version dated: 28 June 2004 PREFACE This Resettlement Plan (RP) has been prepared by the Hunan Provincial Expressway Construction and Development Co. Ltd. (HPEC) with assistance provided under the Project Preparation Technical Assistance (PPTA). The RP has been formulated based on the PRC laws and local regulations and the Asian Development Bank’s (ADB’s) Policy on Involuntary Resettlement. The RP addresses the land acquisition and resettlement aspects of the Changde-Jishou Expressway Project (the Project). The RP is based on socio-economic assessment and 657 households sample surveys of potentially affected persons (APs) according to the preliminary design. The overall impacts reported here are based on the reliable Detailed Measurement survey, and field surveys carried out during the PPTA work. After concurrence from ADB, the RP will then be approved by HPCD on behalf of Hunan People’s Government. 2 BRIEF INTRODUCTION AND APPROVAL OF THE RP HPCD has received approval to construct the Changji expressway, which is expected to commence in March 2004 and be completed by end of 2007. HPCD, through MOC/MOF, has requested a loan from ADB to finance part of the project. Accordingly, the Project must be implemented in compliance with ADB social safeguard policies. This RP represents a key requirement of ADB and will constitute the basis for land acquisition, compensation and resettlement.

Email: [email protected], [email protected] Background Citrus is the largest fruit crop in the world, both in area and yield. Traditional crossbreeding strategies are very difficult due to long juvenile period, polyembryony, self-incompatibility and male sterility (Guo et al., 2013). Exploiting and utilizing natural hybrids or bud mutation resource is an ideal method for citrus breeding. As a cultivated landrace, ‘Huarongdao Zhoupigan’ is originated in Hunan province (a local variety of Huarong county) with a history of more than a hundred years. It is very popular among local people for its crumpled pericarp, soft juicy pulp and slightly bitter taste, which have a potential of medicine or food therapy. In 2011, it had been approved as geographically indicated products (Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, PRC., 2011). As the production and planting areas gradually increased, the origination and genetic background of ‘Huarongdao Zhoupigan’ not only arouses local farmers’ curiosity but also draws the attention of researchers.

Abstract: Watershed environments play an important supporting role in sustainable high-quality economic development in China, but they have been deteriorating. In order to solve environmental problems in the Poyang Lake River Basin brought about by economic development, the Jiangxi Provincial Government promulgated relevant river basin protection policies in 2015. However, after several years of this policy, the specific effects of its implementation are a matter of general concern to the government and academic circles. After years of policy implementation, the implementation effect Citation: Lu, Y.; Kong, F.; Huang, L.; of the watershed ecological compensation policy needs to be evaluated. Based on 4248 observations Xiong, K.; Xu, C.; Wang, B. Evaluation from the Jiangxi and Hunan Provinces, we adopt the difference-in-difference method to analyze the of the Implementation Effect of the impact of the ecological compensation policy on the Poyang Lake River Basin.
