Abstract:In 2024,the general market prices of vegetables predominantly adhered to the typical pattern of annual seasonal fluctuations.Nevertheless,during the summer-autumn periods,the prices tended to operate at relatively elevated levels.Owing to the impact of unfavorable weather conditions and their sustained eff ects,it is anticipated that the upward trajectory of vegetable prices in the current winter and the forthcoming spring will be less steep compared to previous years,with a potentially longer duration of the price-increasing cycle.Taking into account the fact that the overall vegetable prices were on the higher side in 2024 and the acreage under cultivation has increased year-on-year,it is projected that the overall supply of vegetables in the spring of 2025 will be ensured.

Abstract:Mustard(Brassica juncea),a Brassica vegetable in Cruciferae family,is widely cultivated worldwide and serves as important vegetable and oil crop.However,it has poor resistance to clubroot disease.Clubroot is a soil-borne disease caused by the infection of Plasmodiophora brassicae Woron.,which seriously affects Cruciferae crops.Currently,clubroot resistant resources were found in Brassica rapa. Taking three diff erent types of mustard materials which were used as female parents and three Chinese cabbage materials with different clubroot resistance(CR)genes which were used as male parents were crossed to conduct hybridization F1.Molecular marker linked to CR genes were used to identifi ed hybrid individuals. Ploidy determination and pollen viability assessment were performed on the hybrids to confi rm their status as true triploid hybrids and their fertility.The results showed that the cross-compatibility index of combinations by using 2018 as female parent were signifi cantly higher than that combinations by using 2029 and 2051 as female parents.Meanwhile,the cross-compatibility index has no significant differences among different Chinese cabbage as male parents.Among the F1 hybrid combinations,2018 × B,2018 × C,2018 × D,and 2051 × D were found to possess the clubroot resistance gene from their respective Brassica rapa male parents.The DNA relative contents of these four combinations were 19 930.26,which is near the average of DNA relative contents of Brassica rapa and Brassica juncea,confirming their status as true triploid hybrids.Both 2018 × B and 2018 × C combinations exhibited fertility,although their pollen vitality was signifi cantly lower than that of their parental lines.These hybrids can serve as intermediate materials for clubroot resistance breeding of Brassica juncea.

Abstract:In order to shorten the cultivation time of root-pruning watermelon grafting seedlings,the feasibility of root-pruning watermelon grafting seedlings transplanted in cylindrical paper pot was explored. In this experiment,the watermelon cv‘ Zaojia 84-24’ was used as the scion,the pumpkin cv‘ Zhenzhuang’ used as the rootstock. The root-pruning one-cotyledon splice grafting method was used at grafting. And then, the watermelon grafted seedlings respectively transplanted in cylindrical paper pot and common plug trays. The watermelon grafting seedling transplanted into cylindrical paper pot had obvious growth advantages. Compared with common plug trays seedlings,the degree of the petiole length,leaf area,shoot dry weight and shoot fresh weight of cylindrical paper pot seedlings were signifi cantly increased. The rhizosphere substrate retention rate and the rhizosphere substrate retention degree of cylindrical paper pot seedling were signifi cantly reduced. The rhizosphere substrate retention rate of cylindrical paper pot seedling at 13 days after grafting was only 20%, while the rhizosphere substrate retention rate of common plug trays seedlings at 19 days after grafting was stillup to 50%. The degree of Pn,Co,Ci and Tr of cylindrical paper pot seedling leaves were also signifi cantly
increased. The relative growth rate of plant height,stem diameter and shoot dry weight of common plug trays seedlings,which transplanted age was 19 days after grafting,were the largest. The plant height relative growth rate of transplanted cylindrical paper pot seedling,which transplanted age was 19 days after grafting,was the largest. The relative growth rate of stem diameter and shoot dry weight of transplanted cylindrical paper pot seedling,which transplanted age was 13 days after grafting,were the largest. In conclusion,using the cylindrical paper pot to produce root-pruning watermelon grafting seedlings can promote the growth and improve the photosynthetic ability. The optimal transplanting age of the cylindrical paper pot seedling was younger than common plug seedlings,expected to be widely used in the grafting of watermelon root.

Drought and improper nitrogen fertilizer application are significant issues affecting the green and high-quality development of the potato industry.Using the varieties‘Favorita'and‘Zhongshu No.18',we conducted a pot experiment under rain shelters to analyze the effects of different water and nitrogen management strategies on photosynthesis,nitrogen metabolism enzymes,dry matter accumulation and distribution,yield,and water and nitrogen use efficiency in potatoes.The results show that all photosynthetic indicators,whole-plant dry matter,yield,and water and nitrogen use efficiency were significantly influenced by water,nitrogen,and their interaction.The impact of nitrogen application rate was greater on‘Zhongshu No.18'than on ‘Favorita'.Photosynthetic characteristics,yield,and water use efficiency initially increased and then decreased with increasing nitrogen application rate,while nitrogen use efficiency decreased with increasing nitrogen application rate.Except for water use efficiency,all other indicators increased with increasing water levels.Whole-plant dry matter increased with higher water and nitrogen levels,but dry matter allocation to tubers increased with higher water levels and decreased with higher nitrogen levels.Nitrate reductase(NR)and glutamine synthetase(GS)activities were significantly affected by water and nitrogen,respectively,with NR activity being higher at moderate water levels and GS activity being higher at high nitrogen levels.Dry matter accumulation,net photosynthetic rate,number of tubers,and yield per plant showed extremely significant positive correlations in both varieties.Through equation fitting,the optimal nitrogen application rates for maximum yield under low,medium,and high water levels for‘Favorita'and‘Zhongshu No.18'were determined to be 7.55,9.95,and 11.66 g per plant and 8.67,10.09,and 12.83 g per plant,respectively.These findings provide a theoretical basis for efficient nitrogen management in different irrigation zones for potato cultivation.

Sclerotinina disease is a devastating fungal disease with worldwide distribution known to affect many commercial crops.In this study,vegetables with typical symptoms of Sclerotinina were collected from Hangzhou City,Zhejiang Province to obtain the pathogen by tissue isolation.The pathogenic fungus was identified based on the morphologies and molecular biological analysis,and then the pathogenicity was tested sensitivity to pydiflumetofen was determined by mycelial growth rate test.The results showed that 62 Sclerotinia,isolates were obtained from diseased leaf lettuce and stem lettuce,and combined with ITS and laccase 2 gene sequence analysis,6 isolates were classified into Sclerotinia minor,other 56 isolates were S. sclerotiorum.On PDA medium,the mycelial growth rate of S. minor was significantly lower than that of S. sclerotiorum,but the time of sclerotiorum production of S. minor was earlier,and the number of sclerotiorum of S. minor was higher.The virulence of Sclerotinia isolates on different vegetables were confirmed,the isolates caused the typical watery and brown lesions,and form white mycelia and sclerotiorum on infected tissues at the later stage.Sclerotiorum in Asteraceae vegetables caused by S. minor was first reported in China,and comparing the lesion diameter caused by S. minor and S. sclerotiorum,the greater virulence of S. sclerotiorum was observed on all tested hosts.Pydiflumetofen sensitivity of Sclerotinia isolates was determined by the 50% effective concentration value,the results showed that 83.9% of the assayed isolates having an EC50 of less than 0.01 μg · mL-1.Our results suggested that pydiflumetofen and its mixtures could be selected for controlling Sclerotinina on Asteraceae vegetables.
