[Journal Article]Li Changying, An Jing, Dou Jinghai et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2025, No.02

Abstract:A two-year field experiment was conducted with the wheat variety Tainong 18 as test material by setting 7 treatments including nitrogen-free control(CK),ordinary urea treatment(CU)and five treat-ments of mixed urea(M,ordinary urea and controlled-release urea at ratio of 7:3)combined with organic fer-tilizer(F).The proportion of organic fertilizer instead of mixed urea was designed as 0,25%,50%,75%and 100%,which were recorded as M100F0,M75F25,M50F50,M25F75 and M0F100,respectively.The effects of dif-ferent fertilization treatments on wheat nitrogen utilization,yield and soil nitrogen supply performance under e-qual nitrogen condition were studied.The results showed that the application of mixed urea combined with or-ganic fertilizer could significantly improve the transformation of soil humic acid components,affect the supply period of soil available nitrogen,promote the growth and nitrogen absorption of wheat,and then improve the nitrogen use efficiency(NUE)and yield of wheat.Under the CU treatment,the content of nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen in the surface(0~30 cm)soil increased and made wheat grow better at the early stage of winter wheat growth,but the higher leaching amount of nitrate nitrogen and ammonium nitrogen led to the soil available nitrogen content decreased rapidly after that,so the nitrogen use efficiency(NUE)and yield were lower.Compared with CU treatment,the treatments of mixed urea combined with organic fertilizer prolonged the supply period of soil nitrogen,reduced nitrogen leaching and increased soil enzyme activity,promoted the transformation of soil humic acid components,thereby improved wheat dry matter accumulation,NUE and yield.The average NUE of the two years was the highest under M50F50 treatment,and the NUE increased by 1.51%to 21.48%and 8.90%to 22.64%respectively compared with the other fertilization treatments in 2022 and 2023,respectively.In summary,the application of organic fertilizer instead of 50%mixed urea in the ex-periment conditions could improve soil nitrogen supply performance,increase winter wheat yield and NUE,so it was the best organic fertilizer replacement treatment.

[Journal Article]Hu Wenrui, Gao Qianwen, Yang Huibing et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2025, No.04

Abstract:To construct a hyperspectral accurate estimation model of SPAD value of rice leaves,the ex-periment was conducted with the variety Jingliangyouhuazhan as material,and three fertilization treatments were set.The hyperspectral reflectance and SPAD value data were measured continuously and periodically dur-ing the whole reproductive period.The sensitive information of the spectrum was extracted using vegetation in-dex and continuous wavelet transform(CWT),and then the estimation models of SPAD of rice leaves were es-tablished using traditional linear and nonlinear fittingand the algorithm of back propagation neural network(BPNN),whose estimation effects were compared using the coefficient of determination(R2),root mean square error(RMSE),and relative analysis error(RPD).The results showed that the accuracy of the inverse univariate models for SPAD value constructed with nine commonly used vegetation indices based on the tradi-tional methods(linear function,logarithmic function,exponential function,and quadratic function fitting)were lower(RPD<1.4).Six parent wavelet functions were selected for CWT,which could effectively improve the correlation between leaf hyperspectral reflectance and SPAD value,and the accuracy of the univariate models constructed using the optimal wavelet coefficients of the parent wavelet functions increased obviously,which could reach the level of rough estimation of SPAD value with RPD between1.523 to 1.581.The accuracy of the SPAD estimation models constructed based on the BPNN algorithm were significantly improved compared with the univariate models with RPD between1.832 to 2.342.Among which,the BPNN models constructed with bior3.3 and gaus4 as parent wavelet functions had better estimation capacity with RPD of 2.342 and 2.178,respectively.However,the BPNN model constructed with gaus4 as the parent wavelet function had the phenomenon of overfitting.In summary,the BPNN model constructed using the first 10 optimum wavelet coef-ficients decomposed by bior3.3 had the highest precision with R2 and RMSE as 0.818 and 1.441,respectively,which could make good prediction of SPAD value of rice leaves.This study proved that CWT could effectively extract the sensitive information of spectral characteristics in rice leaves,and the established bior3.3-BPNN model could be used for the monitoring of rice SPAD value,which could provide references for subsequent rapid and nondestructive monitoring of rice SPAD value throughout the whole growth period,and provide the technical support for real-time monitoring of rice growth and development dynamics.

[Journal Article]Ran Tengfei, Xia Ru, Li Yongpeng et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2024, No.11

Abstract:In this experiment,with Shangshu 19 as test material,three treatments including restoring af-ter shading for 40 days with 70%light transmittance at vine-root tuber simultaneous growth stage(restoring treatment),continuous shading with 70%light transmittance from vine-root tuber simultaneous growth stage to harvest time(shading treatment)and no shading during the whole growth period(CK)were set to study their effects on the dry matter mass,the contents of total starch,soluble protein,soluble sugar,reducing sugar and anthocyanin,and the starch composition,swelling potential,solubility and aging value.The results showed that compared to CK,shading treatment reduced the dry matter mass and total starch content of Shangshu 19 root tubers,and increased the contents of amylopectin and soluble protein,and the starch swelling potential and solubility;the soluble protein content increased with the prolongation of shading time.Shading treatment also decreased the starch aging value and contents of reducing sugars,soluble sugars and anthocyanins of root tu-bers.Short-term shading was favorable for the increase of soluble sugar content of Shangshu 19 root tubers.These results could provide data support for sweet potato cultivation in low-light area.

[Journal Article]Li Yanwei, Wang Zhenbao, Yang Yanyan et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2025, No.01

Abstract:In order to investigate the function of the WRKY transcription factor family in onion,this study screened and identified a total of 55 AcWRKY gene family members using bioinformatics method based on the whole genome sequence of onion and transcriptomic data of bulb at different developmental stages.Their a-mino acid length ranged from 144 to 683 aa,isoelectric point ranged from 5.11 to 9.65,aliphatic index ranged from 47.14 to 77.24,and all of them were predicted to be hydrophilic proteins.The subcellular localization prediction results showed that the 55 AcWRKY proteins were all localized in nucleus.Phylogenetic analysis showed that the AcWRKY family genes could be divided into three groups of Group Ⅰ,Group Ⅱ and GroupⅢ,and group Ⅱ could be further divided into five subgroups.The WRKY proteins from onion and Arabidopsis were distributed in each group which speculated that the transcription factors from the same group or subgroup might have similar functions.Conserved domain analysis showed that all the AcWRKY proteins had the highly conserved WRKYGQK motif and its characteristic zinc finger structures,and a few members had some amino acid variation in the conserved domain.Gene structure and conserved motif analysis indicated that the number and distribution of exons and motifs were found to be different in different AcWRKY members,and proteins in the same group or subgroup were similar.Analysis results of transcriptome data indicated that the vast majority of AcWRKYs genes were directly or indirectly involved in development and formation of onion bulb.The results of this study could provide reference for further research on the mechanism of AcWRKY gene in onion bulb for-mation.

[Journal Article]Liu Danyang, Zhao Lili, Long Sisi et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2025, No.07

Abstract:In order to understand the growth and physiological responses of three legume forage grasses(Trifolium repens L.,Medicago sativa L.,Lotus corniculatus L.)to aluminum stress,and to compare their differences in aluminum tolerance,six aluminum concentrations of 100,200,300,500,700 and 1 000 mg·L-1 were set in this study.The seed germination,seedling growth and physiological indexes were measured,the e-valuation indexes of aluminum tolerance were screened out through principal component analysis,and the alu-minum tolerance was evaluated by membership function method.The results showed that low concentration alu-minum stress(100 or 200 mg·L-1)had a certain promoting effect on seedling growth and biomass of T.repens M.sativa and L.corniculatus.As the increase of aluminum concentration,the seed germination and growth in-dicators of the three legume forage grasses significantly decreased,showing the greatest inhibition to root sys-tem.Moreover,as the increase of aluminum concentration,the contents of soluble sugar and proline as well as the activities of peroxidase(POD)and catalase(CAT)in the three legume forages showed the trend of increas-ing first and then decreasing,reaching their maximum values at aluminum concentration of 200 or 300 mg·L-1.The relative root length,relative germination index,relative viability index,relative malondialdehyde content and relative peroxidase activity selected by principal component analysis could be used as evaluation indicators for aluminum tolerance of T.repens,M.sativa and L.corniculatus.The average membership function value of the five indicators calculated by membership function method could be used to identify the aluminum tolerant capacity,and the results showed that T.repens had the strongest aluminum tolerance,followed by M.sativa,and the aluminum tolerance of L.corniculatus was the worst.These results could provide the theoretical basis and certain reference for screening aluminum-tolerant leguminous forage germplasms and breeding new varie-ties in the southwest region of China.

[Journal Article]Sun Jinbian, Yan Wei, Li Yan et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2025, No.05

Abstract:The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of different maize cultivars and soil fertility on the absorption of mineral element in summer maize and their distribution to grain.Three maize cultivars were selected and sown in high fertility soil(Zhaoyuan of Yantai)and medium fertility soil(Longshan of Ji-nan)to carry out comparative tests.The results showed that high fertility soil had significant promoting effects on growth and yield of maize with the average grain yield and average biomass of the three maize cultivars as 11.4 t/hm2 and 19.1 t/hm2,respectively,which was 23.9%and 28.2%higher than those in medium fertility soil.In the high fertility soil,the requirements of maize grains for phosphorus(P),potassium(K),manga-nese(Mn),copper(Cu)and boron(B)significantly increased,thus significantly increased the absorption of these nutrients by the above-ground plants,which increased significantly by 101.4%,215.8%,162.0%,99.7%and 81.6%,respectively compared with those in medium fertility soil.However,the requirements of grains for nitrogen(N),magnesium(Mg)and zinc(Zn)were relatively stable with an average of 19.7 kg/t,2.2 kg/t and 28.8 g/t,respectively,and the nutrient absorption in the corresponding above-ground plants also increased compared with the medium fertility treatment with an increase of 29.4%、26.1%and 51.1%,respec-tively.The results of the correlation analysis indicated that there was a significant positive correlation between maize yield and grain contents of P(r=0.895∗∗∗),Cu(r=0.830∗∗∗),K(r=0.711∗∗∗),Mn(r=0.765∗∗∗),Mg(r=0.740∗∗∗),Fe(r=0.738∗∗∗)and Zn(r=0.515∗).These results suggested that maize planted in high fertility soil was superior to that in medium fertility soil in yield,biomass,nutrient uptake and mineral element distribution to grain,which might be related to rich soil organic matter and high soil available nutrient contents in high fertility soil.The results could provide important references for high-yield and good-quality cultivation and efficient nutrient management of summer maize.

[Journal Article]Wang Na, Li Nan, Nan Zhenwu et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2025, No.01

Abstract:Wheat quality climatic zoning is of great significance to making full use of regional climatic re-sources and producing high-quality wheat according to local conditions.Shandong Province is a typical region in northern China for growing strong-gluten and medium-gluten wheat varieties for special use.Climatic condi-tions of Shandong Province have changed greatly under the background of climate warming,so the wheat quali-ty zoning results need to be updated.In this study,the agro-climatic indicators for wheat quality zoning were used to comprehensively score the meteorological conditions(temperature,precipitation,and sunshine hour)of 122 meteorological stations in Shandong Province during wheat growth seasons from 1981 to 2020,and the results of agro-climatic zoning of wheat quality in Shandong Province before and after climate warming were ob-tained by ArcGIS interpolation method and the differences were compared.The results showed that whether be-fore and after climate warming,Shandong Province is always a suitable area for strong-gluten wheat and a tran-sition area of strong-and medium-gluten wheat.After climate warming,the suitable area of strong-gluten wheat in Shandong Province was greatly reduced,but the transition area of strong-and medium-gluten wheat was ex-panded,which was mainly in central Shandong and the Jiaodong Peninsula.The increase of ≥0 ℃ thermal time in wheat season and the decrease of daily temperature range in May(flowering-filling stage)were the main reasons for the decrease of overall score in wheat growth seasons.The results of this study would provide a theoretical basis for timely adjusting the suitable area of strong-gluten wheat in Shandong Province and reali-zing the bidirectional adaptation of varieties and ecological areas.

Abstract:In order to study the effects of replacing nitrogen fertilizer with biogas slurry on soil properties and wheat yield in salinized fluvo-aquic soil,a field experiment of wheat was carried out on mild salinized flu-vo-aquic soil.Four treatments were set as conventional fertilization(XG),and replacing conventional fertilizer with biogas slurry in proportions of 30%(T30),50%(T50)and 70%(T70).The results showed that com-pared with conventional fertilization,replacing nitrogen fertilizer with biogas sluirry reduced soil pH value by 0.12~0.33 units;significantly increased the contents of soil organic matter,alkali-hydrolyzed nitrogen,availa-ble phosphorus and available potassium by 52.63%~73.51%,42.83%~120.30%,16.82%~75.14%and 15.42%~49.04%,respectively;significantly increased the contents of Ca2+,Mg2+,Na+and Cl-in soil,and the Ca2+and Na+contents increased by 20.15%~60.85%and 7.72%~72.93%,respectively;increased the contents of Cu,Zn,Mn and B and the activities of alkaline phosphatase and sucrase,while the urease activity increased at first and then decreased with the increase of biogas slurry replacing ratio.Replacing nitrogen fertil-izer with biogas slurry increased the proportion of Proteobacteria and Gemmatimonadota,and the T50 treatment was more beneficial to improve the diversity of soil microbial community.Wheat yield in the T30 and T50 treatments were increased by 6.22%and 11.04%compared with XG treatment.By comprehensive analysis,the replacement of nitrogen fertilizer with biogas slurry could significantly improve soil properties and wheat yield,and the replacement ratio of 50%had the best effect.The research results could provide theoretical ref-erences for the application of biogas slurry in mild salinized fluvo-aquic soil.

[Journal Article]Shang Wenkai, Liu Yongpeng, Luo Hengbin et al.-Shandong Agricultural Sciences2025, No.02

Abstract:In this study,61 watermelon germplasms were used as experimental materials,and two indoor LED light intensity treatments were set as 200 μmol·m-2·s-1(CK)and 60 μmol·m-2·s-1(weak light).Through detecting 13 seedling indicators of different watermelon germplasms,and using multiple analysis methods including correlation analysis,principal component analysis,membership function analysis and clus-ter analysis,their tolerance to weak light were comprehensively evaluated.The results indicated that under weak light stress,the variation coefficient of plant height,stem diameter,leaf width,leaf length,petiole length,aboveground and underground dry and fresh weights,and root indicators of seedlings of the 61 water-melon germplasms exceeded that of CK,and there were significant genetic differences between them.All the 13 indicators had varying degrees of correlation,which comprehensively affected the weak light tolerance of watermelon seedlings.By principal component analysis,the 13 indicators could be transformed into 4 inde-pendent comprehensive indicators with the cumulative contribution rate as 80.48%.After membership function analysis and cluster analysis,the 61 materials were divided into 4 categories according to the D value,among which,the Ⅰ category included 1 germplasm resource with extreme weak light tolerance,the Ⅱ category in-cluded 22 germplasm resources with weak light tolerance,the Ⅲ category included 7 germplasm resources with medium tolerance to weak light,and the Ⅳ category included 31 germplasm resources sensitive to weak light.The germplasm resources of HY-25,HY-90 and HY-81 were selected with higher tolerance to weak light.These results could provide references for screening identification indicators of weak light tolerance for water-melon and scientifically evaluating the weak light tolerance of watermelon germplasms.
