  Cloning and Bioinformatics Analysis of a NAC Transcription Factor HbNAC1 from Hevea brasiliensis 2012, 28 (34):  1-11.  Abstract + ( 1137 )   PDF ( 2294551KB )   ( 1057 ) In order to identify the role of plant-specific NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2, and CUC2) transcription factors in the growth and development, stress responses and hormone regulation of Hevea brasiliensis, the HbNAC1 gene was cloned and analyzed. The sequence of HbNAC1 was cloned from cDNA using RACE-PCR based on the EST sequence isolated from the cDNA library of Hevea brasiliensis latex. Bioinformatics analysis showed that HbNAC1 has an open reading frame (ORF) of 891 bp, encoding a neutral, unstable, water-soluble protein with 296 amino acids. The HbNAC1 protein with a conserved NAC domain in the N-terminus and highly divergent C-terminus had the basic characteristics of the NAC transcription factors. It was predicted to locate in the nucleus and contain three glycosylation sites and twenty-one phosphorylation sites. The tertiary structure of HbNAC1 was predicted to be consisted of three α-helices and nine β-sheets. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis revealed that HbNAC1 was a member of NAC transcription factor family belonging to ANAC011 subgroup, and proposed to participate in regulation of plant immunity response as a specific enzyme related to amino-acid biosynthesis.

The results indicated: (1) the 1-year-old seedlings of Acer mono, Platycladus orientalis, Fraxinus pennsylvanica, Euonymus bungeanus, Koelreuteria paniculata, Gleditsia japonica, Syringa reticulata and Ligustrum obtusifolum could safely survive winter in the area, without or with little freezing injuries. Seedling propagation is appropriate for these species in the area. (2) The seedlings of Firmiana simplex and Hibiscus syriacus suffered most serious freezing injuries, resulting in very low survival rates despite under protection in the winter. Seedling propagation is not appropriate for the two species in the area. (3) The seedlings of Cornus alba, Albizia julibrissin, Pterocarya stenoptera, Acer negundo, Platanus acerifolia, Cercis chinensis, Toona sinensis, Lagerstroemia indica and Catalpa bungei suffered varying degrees of freezing injuries and needed to be observed in the second even third winters to decide if seedling propagation is appropriate for these species in this area. (4) The freezing injury index with properly weighted class 4 could more objectively reflect and compare freezing injuries of the different tree seedlings. The results from this study could provide a practical reference guide for seedling propagation of the 19 species in the area.

  Effects of SO2 Stress on physiological indexes of Prunus cerasifera Var. atropurea 2012, 28 (34):  108-111.  Abstract + ( 872 )   PDF ( 708852KB )   ( 624 ) Pot experiments were conducted to study the effects of SO2 stress on the physiological parameters in Prunus cerasifera var. atropurea seedlings by utilizing a simple static fumigation system, in order to provide a theoretical guide for cultivating Prunus cerasifera var. atropurea in contaminated areas. The results showed that, with the increment of SO2 concentration, the superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity increased continuously, peroxidase (POD) and catalase (CAT) activity increased during the first period, but declined afterwards, while cell membrane permeability, malondialdehyde (MDA) content, proline (Pro) content and soluble protein content rose in different degrees. The value of these four parameters was 194.2%, 112.06%, 70.51% and 97.77% higher than that of control respectively when SO2 concentration reached to 22.86 mg/m3. It was concluded that the metabolites in the leaves of Prunus cerasifera var. atropurea increased consistently continuously and thus SO2 resistance was promoted with the increment of SO2 concentration. However, the antioxidant enzyme system was damaged when SO2 concentration exceeded 17.14 mg/m3, which indicated that Prunus cerasifera var. atropurea was not suitable to be cultivated in these areas. Farther research was also needed to testify this conclusion.

Descriptive inventories were used and several indexes which had great impacts on the landscape of road plants were selected to make an evaluation of road plant landscape. The study began with the ways to form a landscape evaluation system; then the weight were determined and the indexes for evaluation were quantified, using the method, to study and analyze the landscape of Nanchang arterial road plants. The results showed that total constructive level of Nanchang City arterial road plants landscape was better, and 57.14% road landscape plants of investigated roads were up to II level, 35.71% up to III level, only 7.14% lower than IV leve1. The highest index was the harmony between plants and hard landscape, and was followed by harmony between plants and the whole environment, the life-form structure of plants was the third among 8 evaluated factors, this showed that people should pay attention to the harmony among plants, hard landscape, and the whole environment, and the reasonable collocation of tree, shrub and grass of most sections in the whole construction process of Nanchang City. The diversity of plant species and viewing characteristics of plants were the lowest indices. There still existed some problem such as 1iving vegetation volum per cubic metre was low, plant species application was not rich, and the regional characteristic of plant landscape was not quite outstanding of road plants landscape in Nanchang City. Aimed at the evaluation results, suggestions and measures for construction the low-carbon plant landscape and regional characteristic of plant landscape of arterial roads in Nanchang City were put forwarded.
