TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) homologous genes play major roles in maintaining vegetative growth and inflorescence meristem characteristics in various plant species; however, to date, the function of the bamboo TFL1 homologous gene has not been described. In this study, a TFL1 homologous gene was isolated from Bambusa oldhamii and designated as BoTFL1-like. Phylogenetic analysis of TFL1 homologous genes revealed that BoTFL1-like shared more than 90% identity with the TFL1 genes of other Gramineae. RT-PCR analysis showed that the expression level of BoTFL1-like in floral buds was almost 3.5 times higher than in vegetative buds. In 35S::BoTFL1- like transgenic Arabidopsis thaliana plants, the time of flowering was significantly delayed by 5 to 9 days, and development of floral buds Genetics and Molecular Research 14 (3): 9306-9317 (2015) ©FUNPEC-RP www.funpecrp.com.br BoTFL1-like gene in bamboo flowering 9307 and sepals was severely affected compared to wild type Arabidopsis plants.

  • Rural Development and the Spatial Patterns of Population Migration in Zhejiang, China
    agriculture Article Back to the Countryside: Rural Development and the Spatial Patterns of Population Migration in Zhejiang, China Weiming Tong 1,2,* and Kevin Lo 3 1 College of Economics, Zhejiang University of Technology, Hangzhou 310023, China 2 Department of the Built Environment, Eindhoven University of Technology, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands 3 Department of Geography, Hong Kong Baptist University, Hong Kong, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: This study examines how rural development in China shapes new trends in population migration. Using first-hand, village-level data from Zhejiang—an economically developed province in China—we investigated the patterns and influencing factors of population migration between rural and urban areas. We conceptualized three types of migration in rural areas: rural out-migration, rural in-migration, and rural return-migration. First-hand data were collected from 347 villages. The results show that although rural out-migration remains the dominant form of migration, rural in- migration and return-migration are also common, and the latter two are positively correlated. Further, we found evidence to support the conclusion that rural economic, social, and spatial development encourages rural in-migration and return-migration but does not have a significant impact on rural out-migration. Therefore, it is foreseeable that rural in-migration and return-migration will become increasingly common in China. Citation: Tong, W.; Lo, K.

Rice stripe disease is only caused by rice stripe tenuivirus (RSV), while rice black-streaked dwarf disease can be caused by rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus (RBSDV) and/or southern rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus (SRBSDV). Here we review the characterization of these viruses, methods for their detection, and extensive surveys showing their occurrence and spread in the province. Key words: viral diseases; rice stripe tenuivirus; rice black-streaked dwarf fijivirus; southern rice black- streaked dwarf fijivirus; surveys Zhejiang Province, located in eastern China, is known caused more than 50% losses in rice production in as a fertile land of fish and rice, and has a long history some fields (Kuribayashi, 1931; Amano, 1933).

From this perspective, China needs to shift from the extensive development mode to the sustainable development mode. Science and technology resources rational allocation is one of the key issues in sustainable development. Based on the counties (districts) data of Zhejiang Province in China, this paper portrays the spatial variation of regional sustainable development level of this area. This paper finds that counties tend to cluster in groups with the same sustainable development level, and this agglomeration trend has been enforced during the past several years.
