    Cowpea〔Vigna unguiculata(L.)Walp.〕is a major leguminous vegetable in China.Studies on genotype identification and genetic diversity of its germplasm resources are of great significance for the conservation,exploration,and utilization of genetic resources.In this study,46 KASP molecular markers were used to detect and analyze 202 cowpea accessions.The results showed that the average gene diversity GD)was 0.39(with a variation range of 0.03-0.52),the polymorphism information content(PIC) value was 0.32(with a variation range of 0.03-0.42),and the average major allele frequency(MAF)was 0.69(with a variation range of 0.50-0.99).This indicates that the genetic diversity of the tested cowpea materials is moderately low,which may restrict breeding potential.STRUCTURE analysis divided them into 3 subpopulations with relatively close genetic distances(0.01-0.02).Neighbor-joining(NJ)clustering classified all the cowpea accessions into 4 groups,among which groupⅠis mainly local varieties and group Ⅱ is mainly commercial varieties.Based on these KASP markers,this study constructed molecular fingerprints of 202 cowpea germplasms,revealed the main SNP composition types at KASP variation sites,and screened 18 representative cowpea germplasms as mini-core germplasm resources,providing a scientific basis for the molecular conservation and utilization of cowpea resources.

    To explore the differences in metabolites and related metabolic pathways between the fruits of detoxified and non-detoxified Solanum muricatum(pepino)seedlings,a non-targeted metabolomics approach based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry(UPLC-MS)was employed.Principal component analysis(PCA),cluster analysis,and orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA)identified 74 significantly different metabolites,primarily including amino acids,sugars,and flavonoids.Compared to non-virus-free seedlings,the relative contents of 35 metabolites were significantly increased in virus-free fruit,including proline,tryptophan,and alanine,while the relative contents of 39 metabolites were significantly decreased,including deoxyguanosine monophosphate(dGMP),adenosine triphosphate(ATP),and indole-3-acetic acid. KEGG enrichment analysis revealed that these differential metabolites were mainly involved in four key metabolic pathways:amino acid metabolism,biosynthesis of secondary metabolites,cofactor and vitamin metabolism,and other amino acid metabolism.The observed metabolic changes may contribute to the superior quality of detoxified pepino fruits.These findings provide data support for elucidating the biochemical mechanisms and dynamic metabolic changes at the metabolic level in detoxified pepino,offering a scientific basis for further metabolomic research and agricultural applications.

    To clarify the relationship between the resistance loci of clubroot-resistant Chinese cabbagevarietal resistance characteristics,and Plasmodiophora brassicae,a soil inoculation method was applied to evaluate the resistance of 23 resistant varieties and one susceptible control variety using five P. brassicae isolates collected from different regions or periods.Additionally,12 molecular markers corresponding to 10 clubroot resistance loci,namely CRaCRbCRbKatoCRcCRkCrr1Crr1aCrr2Crr3,and P29,were used to detect the resistance loci present in each variety.The results showed that among the 23 resistant varietiesQingyan CCR108’and‘Qingyan CR1867’exhibited the highest resistance,showing high resistance to all five tested isolatesQingyan CCR70’‘Qingyan CCR75’,and‘CR-Jinsheng’displayed high resistance to four isolates with low disease indices.Locus detection indicated that‘Qingyan CCR108’ and‘Qingyan CR1867’contained resistance marker bands for the CRaCRbKatoCrr3Crr1a,and P29 loci,while‘Qingyan CCR70’‘Qingyan CCR75’,and‘CR-Jinsheng’contained resistance marker bands for the CRaCRbKatoCrr1a,and P29 loci.This suggests that the pyramiding of multiple resistance loci is an effective strategy for enhancing varietal resistance.The susceptible control varietyQingyanchunbai No.1’ was susceptible to all inoculated isolates and contained markers associated with the CRbCRcCRkCrr1 and Crr2 resistance loci.We speculated that these five loci or their markers might not be the main resistant loci or effective marker.Furthermore,it is speculated that Crr1a and P29 might represent the same locus or be functionally related.These findings provide a reference for the identification of clubroot-resistant germplasm resources and the breeding of new varieties in Chinese cabbage.

    To acsacelerate the scaled production of true seeds of Amorphophallus albus,gibberellin (GA3)was used as an inducer,three treatment methods(soaking,dripping,and spraying)and treatment durations(1,2,3,4,and 5 d)were set to investigate the interactive effects of these two factors on inducing flowering and fruiting in immature Amorphophallus albus.The results showed that soaking(10 mg · L-1 GA3)and dripping(50 mg · L-1 GA3)for 3 days resulted in the best comprehensive effects on promoting flowering and fruiting,followed by spraying(50 mg · L-1 GA3)for 4 days.The specific performances were as follows:the total flowering rate was soaking(86.47%)> dripping(80.03%)> spraying(77.64%); the fruit-setting rate was soaking(81.20%)> dripping(75.65%)> spraying(72.72%);the seed setting quantity was dripping(27.53)> soaking(24.33)> spraying(23.60);the 100-grain weight was dripping (9.60 g)> soaking(8.20 g)> spraying(8.07 g);the seedling emergence rate was soaking(85.12%)> dripping(82.40%)> spraying(76.65%).In addition,the treatment duration for all three methods should not exceed 4 days,as longer periods can easily lead to rot of the corm and base of the petiole,as well as severe malformation of some floral organs.
