Tomato （Solanum lycopersicum） is used as a model plant for studying fruit ripening．In the process of tomato fruit ripening，the kind and content variation of carotenoids are important factors affecting tomato tinting and quality．The related studies are paid more attention．This paper summarized the recent progress made on biosynthesis and regulation of carotenoids in tomato fruit；and expounded the carotenoid kinds，distribution and contents，and changing law of carotenoids contents during tomato fruit development stages．The paper also introduced the research progress on studying key enzymes joining in carotenoids biosynthesis and transcription factors．Before ending，the paper prospected the development direction of this hot issue in the near future．

Taking seed-used pumpkin inbred line ‘98-2’ and meat-used pumpkin inbred line ‘312-1’as test materials，this paper studied on the starch content of pumpkin fruit and expression pattern of starch metabolism related genes．The results indicated that there existed significant differences in accumulation patterns of total starch and amylopectin of‘ 312-1’ and‘ 98-2’ fruits．The accumulation patterns of total starch and amylopectin in ‘312-1’ were similar．They were all accumulated gradually with fruit development，and the peak value appeared in 40 days after pollination，then decreased slightly．While，the contents of total starch and amylopectin in‘ 98-2’ maintained the same level at the early stage of fruit development（5 days after pollination）without significant accumulation process．The contents of total starch and amylopectin in‘ 312-1’were significantly higher than that in‘ 98-2’ during each fruit development stage．The amylose accumulation pattern in the 2 materials was similar，all maintaining at accumulated level at the early fruit development stage．However，the amylose contents in ‘312-1’ at different fruit development stages were significantly or extremely significantly higher than that of‘ 98-2’．In starch composition，amylopectin was dominant in the 2 materials．In addition to ISA Ⅲ，SSSⅡ and SBEⅡ genes，the GPT，AATP，PGM，AGPaseL，GBSSⅠ，SSS Ⅲ and SBEⅠ genes had similar expression trends during fruit development process of these 2 materials，and their expression quantities had large differences．Combining the amylopectin and amylopectin contents in fruits of these 2 materials，the paper speculated that GPT，AATP，AGPaseL，GBSSⅠ，SSSⅡ，SSS Ⅲ，SBEⅠ and SBEⅡ genes were key genes regulating starch accumulation in pumpkin fruit．

This paper analyzed and evaluated the nitrogen use efficiency actuality in potato production by questionnaire and literature retrieval method for nitrogen application rate，basic fertilizer application rate，potato yield，etc. in 6 potato producing areas；and probed into the effective way of improving PFP in potato production．The results showed that there were bigger differences in productivity of applied N（PFP）between different production areas．It was 184 kg·kg^-1 in Northeastern China，110 kg·kg-¹ in Southwestern China，104 kg·kg^-1 in Central Plain Region，99 kg·kg^-1 in Southern China，95 kg·kg^-1 in Northwestern China，and 84 kg·kg^-1 in North China，The main reason for low productivity of nitrogen fertilizer was excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer．The effective technical ways to reduce nitrogen application and increase efficiency were to adopt‘ big formula，small adjustment’regional fertilization technology；to apply nitrogen fertilizer recommended plan of combining soil test with plant diagnosis；to conduct fertilization pattern of mixing new fertilizer with organic fertilizer，thus to fully excavate yield potential，reduce nitrogen application，and increase efficiency．

Taking the leaves of Salanum sisymbriifolium and S. torvum as protoplast fusion materials，this paper studied the enzymatic hydrolysate concentration，enzymatic hydrolysis time and electrofusion parameters．The results showed that the optimal concentration was 0.3%（m/V）cellulase R-10+0.1%（m/V）macerozyme R-10．Under this condition，the maximum number of single cells could be observed by microscope．The optimal enzymolysis time were 14 hours for S. sisymbriifolium and 13 hours for S. torvum，which the protoplasts yield was 14.06×10⁶ protoplasts per gram and 15.92×10⁶ protoplasts per gram，respectively．The optimum electric fusion parameters of field strength was 80 V·cm^-1，for 10 s action time．The D.C. square pulses was 1 250 V·cm^-1 for 45 μs．Just once the best fusion effect could be observed by microscope．

Fifty-six major commercial capsicum cultivars in Sichuan Province were evaluated for their resistance to Phytophthora capsici by three methods，including seedling artificial inoculation（6~8 leaf stage），inoculation after transplanting to field（branching stage）and disease nursery trials（fruiting stage）．The results showed that 5 varieties were identified as resistant to disease and 18 varieties as susceptible to P.capsici-induced root rot．The resistance types of the rest varieties were shifted due to the different inoculation period and cultivation environment．The results of correlation analysis indicated that the method of indoor seedling inoculation would represent more precisely the true level of pepper resistance in the fields．

Taking‘Jingyankuaicai’as test material，this paper set up 3 cooling treatments including screen-shading，screen-shading+external spray，and screen-shading+internal spray to study the effects of different cooling methods on environment index of solar greenhouses，and growth and quality of over summer Chinese cabbage．The results showed that in sunny weather of summer，all 3 cooling methods can reduce the indoor temperature of the solar greenhouse，and the screen-shading+internal spray treatment has the best cooling effect．All 3 cooling treatments could increase the net photosynthetic rate and stomatal conductance of Chinese cabbage plant．The plant height and leaf bade number of Chinese cabbage treated by screen-shading+internal spray were all higher and more than those of the contrast．The single plant weight of Chinese cabbage treated by spray were significantly increased than that only treated by screen-shading，and their quality is even better．

Bitter gourd Fusarium wilt is a soil-borne disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp.momordicae．At present，better pesticides or biocontrol agents are in urgent need in market．In order to control bitter gourd Fusarium wilt with better effect，this paper conducted pot cultivation experiment，screened the optimal combination of Pseudomonas chlororaphis G5+hymexazol．The control effect of the optimal combination screened by pot experiment was verified in the pathogenic area of bitter gourd Fusarium wilt．The results showed that the combination B+0.75Hym（1×10⁹ cfu · mL^-1 G5 suspension+187.5 mg · L^-1 hymexazol）had 81.60% disease control effect on potted bitter gourd Fusarium wilt，which was higher than that by the other treatments．At the same time，the combination had the most obvious growth promoting effect on bitter gourd seedlings．After inoculation with Fusarium oxysporum，the activities of PAL，PPO and POD defense enzymes in bitter gourd leaves treated with combination B+0.75Hym were higher．The control effect in field experiment of combination B+0.75Hym on bitter gourd Fusarium wilt was 52.59% and 32.13%，respectively 30 days and 60 days after transplantation．And the yield of bitter gourd was also higher than that by the other treatments．These results showed that the optimum combination B+0.75Hym screened from pot experiment could not only reduce the application amount of pesticides，but also effectively control bitter gourd Fusarium wilt and increase bitter gourd yield．It has certain practical value in production．
