This study investigates the climate characteristics of different sowing dates for temperate paddy rice and their effects on annual yields. Field experiments with four sowing dates (April 18, April 28, May 8, and May 18) for Japonica rice were conducted in Northeast China, where the climatic factors during the growth period were recorded and the biomass accumulation, yield and its components were measured. We found that the second sowing date (April 28) led to the most stable and highest yield of rice. This resulted from the favorable climate characteristics during the growing season, including low daily average temperature in the early stage, high daily maximum temperature and suitable daily minimum temperature in the late stage, and generally high solar radiation. The average temperature between sowing and elongation and between heading and maturity as well as the solar radiation between heading and maturity and whole growth period mainly affect crop growth rate, grains per spike and biomass. Meanwhile the solar radiation from the sowing to elongation period and effective temperature accumulated(GDD10, accumulated growing degree days greater than 10℃)after flowering also significantly affect grain number per spike and weight of biomass. Adjusting sowing dates can reduce the GDD10 at the early stage, increase the GDD10 and grain filling time after flowering and receiving sufficient solar radiation during the whole growth period, all of which form the suitable climatic conditions favorable for rice growth in Northeast China. .

Financial projections and analysis have been prepared in accordance with the 2005 edition of the Guidelines for the Financial Governance and Management of Investment Projects Financed by the Asian Development Bank. The Guidelines cover both revenue earning and non revenue earning projects. Project roads include expressways, Class I and Class II roads. All will be built by the Heilongjiang Provincial Communications Department (HPCD). When the project started it was assumed that all project roads would be revenue earning. It was then discovered that national guidance was that Class 2 roads should be toll free. The ADB agreed that the DFR should concentrate on the revenue earning Expressway and Class I roads, 2.

  • Comparative Genomics and Association Analysis Identifies
    Gu et al. BMC Genomics (2020) 21:172 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12864-020-6581-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Comparative genomics and association analysis identifies virulence genes of Cercospora sojina in soybean Xin Gu1,2, Junjie Ding2, Wei Liu2, Xiaohe Yang2, Liangliang Yao2, Xuedong Gao2, Maoming Zhang2, Shuai Yang3 and Jingzhi Wen1* Abstract Background: Recently, a new strain of Cercospora sojina (Race15) has been identified, which has caused the breakdown of resistance in most soybean cultivars in China. Despite this serious yield reduction, little is known about why this strain is more virulent than others. Therefore, we sequenced the Race15 genome and compared it to the Race1 genome sequence, as its virulence is significantly lower. We then re-sequenced 30 isolates of C. sojina from different regions to identifying differential virulence genes using genome-wide association analysis (GWAS). Results: The 40.12-Mb Race15 genome encodes 12,607 predicated genes and contains large numbers of gene clusters that have annotations in 11 different common databases. Comparative genomics revealed that although these two genomes had a large number of homologous genes, their genome structures have evolved to introduce 245 specific genes. The most important 5 candidate virulence genes were located on Contig 3 and Contig 1 and were mainly related to the regulation of metabolic mechanisms and the biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites, thereby putatively affecting fungi self-toxicity and reducing host resistance. Our study provides insight into the genomic basis of C. sojina pathogenicity and its infection mechanism, enabling future studies of this disease. Conclusions: Via GWAS, we identified five candidate genes using three different methods, and these candidate genes are speculated to be related to metabolic mechanisms and the biosynthesis of bioactive metabolites.

  • Late Mesozoic Magmatism and Its Tectonic Implication for the Jiamusi Block and Adjacent Areas of NE China
    Department of Applied Geology Late Mesozoic Magmatism and its Tectonic implication for the Jiamusi Block and adjacent areas of NE China Mingdao Sun This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University November 2013 DECLARATION According to the Scientific Collaboration Agreement for Jointly Supervised PhD Awards between Zhejiang University, China, and Curtin University, Australia, this thesis is submitted at both universities; this being the English version submitted at Curtin. To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgement has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any university. Signature: ………………………………………………….. Date: 13-11-2013 II Abstract The Jiamusi Block of NE China is located between the North China and Siberia cratons. It collided with the Songliao Block to the west in the early Mesozoic as one of the circum-pacific accreted blocks, and formed the unified Eurasian eastern boundary as a result of subduction of the paleo-Pacific plate. Huge amounts of igneous rocks were produced in the whole of eastern Eurasia, including the Jiamusi Block, caused by back-arc intraplate extension triggered by paleo-Pacific subduction. Study of the petrogenesis of these igneous rocks is important for understanding the nature of the late Mesozoic magmatism and geodynamic evolution of the Jiamusi block and eastern China. For this research, typical late Mesozoic geological sections were selected from the Jiamusi Block for field geology, petrographic study, zircon SHRIMP U-Pb geochronology, geochemistry, Sr-Nd isotope, zircon Lu-Hf isotope and zircon O-isotope study, in order to accurately determine the age of the late Mesozoic igneous rocks and their petrogenesis.

    Reviving Lakes and Wetlands in the People’s Republic of China, Volume Best Practices and Prospects for the Sanjiang Plain Wetlands The Sanjiang Plain wetlands are among the most important wetlands in the People’s Republic of China with unique habitats, species, and ecology. There is a considerable body of literature devoted to various aspects of the Sanjiang Plain wetlands including their ecological values. Building on lessons from the Sanjiang Plain Wetlands Protection Project supported by the Asian Development Bank and the Global Environment Facility—and based on a comprehensive literature review and discussions with experts who have been directly involved in wetland conservation eorts—this publication synthesizes current knowledge on the Sanjiang Plain wetlands, best practices, and options for achieving sustainable wetland management. About the Asian Development Bank ADB’s vision is an Asia and Pacific region free of poverty. Its mission is to help its developing member countries reduce poverty and improve the quality of life of their people. Despite the region’s many successes, it remains home to the majority of the world’s poor. ADB is committed to reducing poverty through inclusive economic growth, environmentally sustainable growth, and regional integration. Based in Manila, ADB is owned by members, including from the region. Its main instruments for helping its developing member countries are policy dialogue, loans, equity investments, guarantees, grants, and technical assistance.
