To provide theoretical support the full use of water and fertilizer resources for wheat, we explored the effects of irrigation on wheat yield, plant and soil nutrient distribution during flowering period and its relationship with root characteristics. We set up two treatments by using the 2 m deep soil column cultivation method with irrigation during flowering (T) and no irrigation during flowering (T), with the drought-resistant and high-yield cultivar Luomai 28 (LM28) and the high photosynthetic efficiency cultivar Bainong 207 (BN207) as materials. We measured contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in plants and soils, as well as the characteristics of soil roots.

The seeds of transgenic rice line D2-1-2 and the receptor cultivar Zhonghua No.9 were germinated on the stress condition of the antibiotic G418. The number of taking root seed, the length of root and the length of shoot of two used materials were checked in different concentrations of the antibiotic G418, but the ratio of germinating seed was not affected.

Article Synopsis
  • A plasmid containing chitinase and beta-1,3-glucanase genes was introduced into a rice hybrid (Nan29) to enhance disease resistance.
  • 93 resistant regenerants were produced, with 17 confirmed as transgenic through dot blotting and further genetic integration established via Southern blotting.
  • The resistance of six transgenic lines to rice blast was tested, showing improved resistance compared to the original line, indicating potential for use in breeding programs for rice blast resistance.
