Article Synopsis
- Climate change impacts crop production due to increased CO2 levels and temperatures, making sweet sorghum a viable option for sustainable bioenergy in arid regions.
- The study compared Ye et al.'s models for photosynthesis and water use efficiency in sweet sorghum with the non-rectangular hyperbolic model, finding Ye's models to better fit the light response curves.
- Higher temperatures improved some photosynthetic metrics but reduced water use efficiency, indicating that sweet sorghum's ability to thrive is limited by the balance between carbon assimilation and enhanced transpiration, and its response to elevated CO levels is complex.
Article Synopsis
- The paper compares three models—the double exponential (DE) model, non-rectangular hyperbolic (NRH) model, and a mechanistic model created by Z-P Ye—in estimating key parameters of photosynthesis: maximum electron transport rate and saturation light intensity.
- The mechanistic model proved to be the most accurate, fitting well to curves from various photosynthetic organisms even under conditions of photoinhibition, while the DE model often overestimated maximum rates and the light required.
- The NRH model also fell short, particularly under dynamic conditions, leading to inaccurate estimates of critical parameters, highlighting the mechanistic model's superiority in studying photosynthetic light responses.
Article Synopsis
- This study focuses on the intrinsic properties of photosynthetic pigment molecules, specifically looking at their absorption cross-sections, which are crucial for understanding photosynthesis and solar energy absorption.* -
- A new method was developed to measure these cross-sections using existing chlorophyll fluorescence data from various plants grown under different conditions, revealing that the values are roughly 10 m across several species.* -
- The findings indicate that the effective absorption cross-section decreases with higher light intensity, suggesting a protective mechanism in plants, and highlight that this new method offers a simpler way to estimate these parameters across various environmental conditions.*
A review on light response model of photosynthesis under different environmental conditions.

Article Synopsis
- - The light response curve of photosynthesis is a valuable tool for modeling how different environmental factors affect photosynthetic rates in relation to varying light conditions.
- - The text emphasizes the need for new mechanistic models that can more accurately represent the primary light response in photosynthesis, specifically addressing certain limitations of current empirical models.
- - Three key steps in photosynthesis—primary reaction, assimilatory power forms, and carbon assimilation—are outlined, with explanations on how changes in these steps influence overall efficiency and carbon uptake.
Accurately describing the light response curve of electron transport rate (- curve) and allocation of electron flow for ribulose biphosphate (RuBP) carboxylation ( - curve) and that for oxygenation ( - curve) is fundamental for modeling of light relations of electron flow at the whole-plant and ecosystem scales. The non-rectangular hyperbolic model (hereafter, NH model) has been widely used to characterize light response of net photosynthesis rate ( ; - curve) and - curve. However, NH model has been reported to overestimate the maximum ( ) and the maximum ( ), largely due to its asymptotic function.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of snail control of cutting the beach group in the south of Shaobo Lake.
Methods: The general situation of the project of cutting the beach was surveyed, and the snail distribution was surveyed and the results were compared before and after cutting the beach in the beach group.
Results: The area of cutting beach was 928.
Objective: To develop a machine simultaneously integrating mechanized environmental cleaning and automatic mollusciciding and to evaluate its effectiveness of field application, so as to provide a novel Oncomelania hupensis snail control technique in the large-scale marshlands.
Methods: The machine simultaneously integrating mechanized environmental cleaning and automatic mollusciciding, which was suitable for use in complex marshland areas, was developed according to the mechanization and automation principles, and was used for O. hupensis snail control in the marshland.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates the effectiveness of 5% niclosamide ethanolamine granules in killing Oncomelania hupensis snails, aiming to develop a new method for controlling snail populations in high-risk environments.
- Field tests were conducted in two counties with varying doses and conditions, showing varying levels of snail mortality after 1, 3, and 7 days post-spraying.
- Results indicate that the granules significantly reduce snail populations, especially when combined with environmental cleaning, achieving over 90% mortality rates in controlled settings by day 15.
Article Synopsis
- Six japonica rice genotypes were studied to see how grain position affects mineral nutrient concentrations, phytic acid (PA) content, and grain weight in rice panicles.
- Heavy-weight grains in the upper positions of the rice panicle contained higher levels of important minerals like zinc (Zn), but had lower PA levels than lighter grains found lower down.
- The findings indicate that changing panicle patterns could improve the nutrient content and availability of essential minerals, such as Zn and iron (Fe), in low PA rice genotypes, aiding in breeding strategies without reducing yield.
[Establishment and application of imported falciparum malaria control system in Yangzhou City].

October 2013
To aim at the characteristics of epidemic situation that the imported falciparum malaria cases increased year by year in Yangzhou City, an imported falciparum malaria control system was established. This control system was based on enhancing the management of returned labor service export persons from falciparum malaria endemic areas, the active medical remind service, the diagnostic capability and health education, and the cooperation of medical personnel and patients, and also avoiding diagnosis delay and misdiagnosis and promoting the treatment in time so as to decrease the serious patients and prevent them from death. After the application of the control system, there were 164 imported falciparum malaria cases from the returned persons of labor service export.
