  • Studies on the Cold Tolerance of Ratoon 'Chaling' Common Wild Rice
    Xu et al. Biol Res (2020) 53:8 https://doi.org/10.1186/s40659-020-00276-5 Biological Research RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Studies on the cold tolerance of ratoon ‘Chaling’ common wild rice Mengliang Xu1*, Xiangzhen Li1, Xiang Mo1, Siyu Tu1, Yanchun Cui2 and Daichang Yang3 Abstract Background: Rice is the staple food of many people around the world. However, most rice varieties, especially widely grown indica varieties and hybrids, are sensitive to cold stress. In order to provide a basis for the utilization of a common wild rice (CWR, Oryza rufpogon Grif.) named ‘Chaling’ CWR in cold-tolerant rice breeding and deepen the understanding of rice cold tolerance, the cold tolerance of ratoon ‘Chaling’ CWR was studied under the stress of the natural low temperature in winter in Changsha, Hunan province, China, especially under the stress of abnormal natu- ral low temperature in Changsha in 2008, taking other ratoon CWR accessions and ratoon cultivated rice phenotypes as control. Results: The results showed that ratoon ‘Chaling’ CWR can safely overwinter under the natural conditions in Chang- sha (28° 22′ N), Hunan province, China, which is a further and colder northern place than its habitat, even if it sufers a long-term low temperature stress with ice and snow. In 2008, an extremely cold winter appeared in Changsha, i.e., the average daily mean temperature of 22 consecutive days from January 13 to February 3 was 1.0 °C, and the extreme low temperature was 4.7 °C. After subjected to this long-term cold stress, the overwinter survival− rate of ratoon ‘Chaling’ CWR was 100%,− equals to that of ratoon ‘Dongxiang’ CWR which is northernmost distribution in the word among wild rice populations, higher than those of ratoon ‘Fusui’ CWR, ratoon ‘Jiangyong’ CWR, and ratoon ‘Liujiang’ CWR (63.55–83.5%) as well as those of ratoon ‘Hainan’ CWR, ratoon ‘Hepu’ CWR, and all the ratoon cultivated rice phe- notypes including 3 japonica ones, 3 javanica ones, and 5 indica ones (0.0%).

Background: Rural hospitals in China provide respiratory health services for about 600 million people, but the current situation of respiratory healthcare resource allocation in rural hospitals has never been reported. Methods: In the present study, we designed a survey questionnaire, and collected information from 48 rural hospitals in Hunan Province, focusing on their respiratory medicine specialty (RMS), basic facilities and equipment, clinical staffing and available medical techniques. Results: The results showed that 58.3% of rural hospitals established an independent department of respiratory medicine, 50% provided specialized outpatient service, and 12.5% had an independent respiratory intensive care unit (RICU).

General 1.1 Motivation Xiangjiang River, originating from HaiyangshanMountain of Linchuan County, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, is the biggest river within Hunan Province and a first-grade branch of Yangtze River. It runs through Hunan Province from south to north and empties into YangtzeRiver at Chenglingjiof Yueyang city, with a total length of 969 km and a drainage area of 94,660 km2. Hunan's major industrial cities such as Yueyang, Changsha,Xiangtan, Zhuzhou and Hengyang are all situated on its riverside. 70% of the large & medium-scale enterprises thereof are sited along Xiangjiang River, therefore, Xiangjiang River is regarded as the economic corridor of Hunan Province. In 1999, Hunan Provincial Party Committee and Government set forward a strategic target aiming at acceleratingthe priority regional economy development, known as One Point and One Line, and speeding up the economic integration program of three cities, respectivelyknown as Changsha,Zhuzhou and Xiangtan.

  • Laiyuan Zhong , Liming Liu *, Yabing
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Agriculture and Agricultural Science Procedia 1 (2010) 24–32 International Conference on Agricultural Risk and Food Security 2010 Natural Disaster Risk Assessment of Grain Production in Dongting Lake Area, China Laiyuan Zhonga,b, Liming Liua*, Yabing Liua aDepartment of Land Resources Management, College of Resources and Environment, China Agricultural University, bCollege of Agronomy, Guangdong Ocean University. Zhanjiang, 524088, China Abstract Dongting Lake area is one of the primary commodity grain bases in China, while the grain production there is suffering from serious harm of natural disaster such as flood, drought, pests and mouse damage. In general, the historical data recorded of natural disasters in small region are not enough to be used for estimating the probability distribution in risk assessment, because the size of the sample observed is smal1. In this study, the method “Information Diffusion” is used to change limited sample observations into fuzzy sets, and a quantitative analyzing model for natural disasters risk assessment is proposed. Based on the statistical data of grain planting area and hazard area during the period of 1986-2006 in Dongting Lake area, the probability of natural disaster risk of grain production was calculated by using the Information Diffusion Theory in each county. The results showed that the probabilities of natural disaster risk of the area hazard ratio (AHR) of grain production over 10% , 20%, 30%, 40% were between 0.3576̚0.9344, 0.0880̚0.8618, 0.0080̚0.7757, 0̚0.6569 respectively in different county. Meanwhile, the natural disaster risk assessment maps of grain production were obtained based on GIS.
