You-Ping Wang,Chao-Hong Ma,Ru-Hai Li 한국차학회 2015 한국차학회지 Vol.- No.S

Arthropod insects are important pests that feed on leaves and young shoots often causing 10 to 20% loss in tea yield. Evaluation of the effect of major cultural practice such as pruning on the ecological aspect of the arthropod insects and their natural enemies is essential to develop a sound IPM program for organic tea plantation. The impac of summer pruning in mid-May on the arthropod communities was investigated with 3 different pruning intensities,i.e. light, heavy, and no pruning, in Hubei organic tea plantation. Light summer pruning had significant impact on the species and number of tea bush insect pests and their natural enemies within 1 month after pruning, and it lasted by2 months. Heavy pruning had greater impacts. Light pruning postponed the first peak in occurrence of Empoasca vitis (Gothe) for 20 days and the peak of Acaphylla theae Watt for 30 days. Heavy pruning postponed the first peak of Empoasca vitis (Gothe) for 25 days, and completely avoided the damage on tea bush from Acaphylla theae Watt. difference in diversity indices and the ratio of ‘natural enemies/insect pests’ of the arthropod communities on tea bushes by 3 and 4 months after pruning, respectively. The results suggest that light pruning can be used to control insect pests in organic tea plantations with the effect lasting for two months. Heavy pruning had a better control of insect pests than light pruning, but it is hardly to recommend without confirming the balance among sustainability of tea bush vigor in growth and tea yield in the following year, population of natural enemies and the efficacy of insect pest control. The optimum intensity of pruning may differ by individual tea plantation as the age and vigor of tea bush, soil fertility and management of tea bush nutrition differ by each tea plantation.

Background: Endophytic fungi play an important role in balancing the ecosystem and boosting host growth. In the present study, we investigated the endophytic fungal diversity of healthy Panax notoginseng and evaluated its potential antimicrobial activity against five major phytopathogens causing rootrot of P. notoginseng. Methods: A culture-dependent technique, combining morphological and molecular methods, was used to analyze endophytic fungal diversity. A double-layer agar technique was used to challenge the phytopathogens of P. notoginseng. Results: A total of 89 fungi were obtained from the roots, stems, leaves, and seeds of P. notoginseng, and 41 isolates representing different morphotypes were selected for taxonomic characterization. The fungal isolates belonged to Ascomycota (96.6%) and Zygomycota (3.4%). All isolates were classified to 23 genera and an unknown taxon belonging to Sordariomycetes. The number of isolates obtained from different tissues ranged from 12 to 42 for leaves and roots, respectively. The selected endophytic fungal isolates were challenged by the root-rot pathogens Alternaria panax, Fusarium oxysporum, Fusarium solani, Phoma herbarum, and Mycocentrospora acerina. Twenty-six of the 41 isolates (63.4%) exhibited activity against at least one of the pathogens tested. Conclusion: Our results suggested that P. notoginseng harbors diversified endophytic fungi that would provide a basis for the identification of new bioactive compounds, and for effective biocontrol of notoginseng root rot.

Background: Rhizospheric fungi play an essential role in the plantesoil ecosystem, affecting plant growth and health. In this study, we evaluated the fungal diversity in the rhizosphere soil of 2-yr-old healthy Panax notoginseng cultivated in Wenshan, China. Methods: Culture-independent Illumina MiSeq and culture-dependent techniques, combining molecular and morphological characteristics, were used to analyze the rhizospheric fungal diversity. A diffusion test was used to challenge the phytopathogens of P. notoginseng. Results: A total of 16,130 paired-end reads of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer 2 were generated and clustered into 860 operational taxonomic units at 97% sequence similarity. All the operational taxonomic units were assigned to five phyla and 79 genera. Zygomycota (46.2%) and Ascomycota (37.8%) were the dominant taxa; Mortierella and unclassified Mortierellales accounted for a large proportion (44.9%) at genus level. The relative abundance of Fusarium and Phoma sequenceswas high, accounting for 12.9% and 5.5%, respectively. In total,113 fungal isolates were isolated from rhizosphere soil. They were assigned to five classes, eight orders (except for an Incertae sedis), 26 genera, and 43 species based on morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of the internal transcribed spacer. Fusarium was the most isolated genus with six species (24 isolates, 21.2%). The abundance of Phoma was also relatively high (8.0%). Thirteen isolates displayed antimicrobial activity against at least one test fungus. Conclusion: Our results suggest that diverse fungi including potential pathogenic ones exist in the rhizosphere soil of 2-yr-old P. notoginseng and that antagonistic isolates may be useful for biological control of pathogens.

To overcome the deficiencies of the existing literatures to describe the function of recovery quantity, it was necessary to construct a new function, in which recovery quantity connected with buy-back price and sale quantity. This paper analyzed the optimal decision of the manufacturer and competing retailers under the following three cases: two retailers participated in the recycle, one retailer participated in the recycle and the manufacturer collected directly. The results show that: when the saving cost (cost between new products and reused products) is large enough, the manufacturer tends to collect used products in the consumer market through the competing retailers. And when the saving cost is small, the manufacturer collects herself or chooses one of the competing retailers to collect the used products, which depends on the market size, the attract coefficient and the switching coefficient. Moreover, the improvement of the consumers’ environmental awareness is beneficial to the manufacturer, consumers and social environment. The results of this paper provide a basis for the manufacturer on its channel selection.

Wang, Hong-Ping,Zhang, You-Bo,Yang, Xiu-Wei,Zhao, Da-Qing,Wang, Ying-Ping The Korean Society of Ginseng 2016 Journal of Ginseng Research Vol.40 No.4

Background: Ginsenosides are the characteristic and principal components which manifest a variety of the biological and pharmacological activities of the roots and rhizomes of Panax ginseng (GRR). This study was carried out to qualitatively and quantitatively determine the ginsenosides in the cultivated and forest GRR. Methods: A rapid and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detector and quadrupole/time of flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-DAD-QTOF-MS/MS) was applied to the qualitative analysis of ginsenosides and a 4000 QTRAP triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer (HPLC-ESI-MS) was applied to quantitative analysis of 19 ginsenosides. Results: In the qualitative analysis, all ingredients were separated in 10 min. A total of 131 ginsenosides were detected in cultivated and forest GRR. The method for the quantitative determination was validated for linearity, precision, and limits of detection and quantification. 19 representative ginsenosides were quantitated. The total content of all 19 ginsenosides in the forest GRR were much higher than those in the cultivated GRR, and were increased with the growing ages. Conclusion: This newly developed analysis method could be applied to the quality assessment of GRR as well as the distinction between cultivated and forest GRR.

Visual deprivation modifies oscillatory activity in visual and auditory centers

Ping Pan,You Zhou,Fanghao Fang,Guannan Zhang,Yonghua Ji 한국통합생물학회 2018 Animal cells and systems Vol.22 No.3

Loss of vision may enhance the capabilities of auditory perception, but the mechanisms mediating these changes remain elusive. Here, visual deprivation in rats resulted in altered oscillatory activities, which appeared to be the result of a common mechanism underlying neuronal assembly formation in visual and auditory centers. The power of high-frequency β and γ oscillations in V1 (the primary visual cortex) and β oscillations in the LGN (lateral geniculate nucleus) was increased after one week of visual deprivation. Meanwhile, the power of β oscillations in A1 (the primary auditory cortex) and the power of β and γ oscillations in the MGB (medial geniculate body) were also enhanced in the absence of visual input. Furthermore, nerve tracing revealed a bidirectional nerve fiber connection between V1 and A1 cortices, which might be involved in transmitting auditory information to the visual cortex, contributing to enhanced auditory perception after visual deprivation. These results may facilitate the better understanding of multisensory cross-modal plasticity.
