    Tobacco black shank is one of the major diseases in tobacco production. It has become increasingly severe due to factors such as continuous cropping and frequent introduction of new varieties, threatening the yield and quality of flue-cured tobacco. The etiological characteristics, disease symptoms, pathogenic factors, and control measures of this disease were elaborated. The pathogen of this disease belongs to the genus Phytophthora, with mycelium or chlamydospores serving as the primary infection sources. Its zoospores can directly penetrate the epidermis to infect plants. The optimal temperature for mycelial growth is 28–32 °C, and the optimal temperature for sporangium production is 24–28 °C. This disease can occur throughout the entire growth period of tobacco, with high incidence from the rosette stage to the vigorous growth stage. It mainly damages the basal stems and roots. In the seedling stage, it manifests as “damping-off”; in the field stage, it presents typical symptoms such as “mantle-like”, “bamboo shoot node-like”, and “disc-like” lesions. Pathogenic factors include overwintering of pathogens (surviving for 2–3 years, with continuous cropping exacerbating accumulation), high temperature and high humidity climates (field humidity above 80% for 3–5 consecutive days leading to disease peaks), and root-knot nematode infection (aggravating the damage). Control measures include breeding disease-resistant varieties (such as highly resistant varieties such as Zhongyan 100 and Yuyan No.2, and moderately resistant varieties such as K326 and Yunyan 85); agricultural control (rational crop rotation/intercropping with non-host crops, deep plowing and sunning, high-ridging and earthing up, drainage and humidity reduction, etc.); biological control (using antagonistic microorganisms such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, as well as plant-derived fungicides from garlic and corktree bark); and chemical control (agents such as metalaxyl-mancozeb, mefenoxam-mancozeb, and dimethomorph). Future research should further explore its pathogenic mechanisms, accelerate the improvement of disease-resistant varieties, develop environmentally friendly biological agents, and optimize integrated prevention and control systems to adapt to different production needs.

    Based on spatial syntax theory, the Depthmap 10 software was used to draw the axis model of Xiyuan Park, and 4 parameters of integration degree, selection degree, cooperation degree, and intelligibility degree were used to conduct quantitative analysis of Xiyuan Park, and the optimization strategy for its landscape was proposed. The results showed that the global integration degree and selection degree values of the landscape avenue at the Qunlu Square in the central of the park were the highest, while the integration degree values in the south and north were low. Apart from the main roads, which had high choice values, the remaining roads within the park showed relatively low choice values. The park’s synergy value was low, suggesting a lack of tight connectivity between certain spaces and the overall layout, with some local spaces appearing isolated. Additionally, the low intelligibility value implies that visitors may find it challenging to ascertain their location within the park. Drawing upon the quantitative analysis and site-specific investigations, the problems existing in the landscape nodes of the park were sorted out, and regional optimization strategies such as entrance landscape area, leisure square area and ecological leisure area were proposed. This paper can provide a reference for urban park optimization design.

    The growth environment, especially soil conditions, has a significant impact on the quality of Chinese medicinal materials such as Gastrodia elata. The research progress on the characteristics of Gastrodia elata growth soil from aspects such as the soil types suitable for the growth of Gastrodia elata, as well as the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the growth soil was summarized. Gastrodia elata thrives in loose and moderately sandy loam. Yellow soil and yellow-brown soil are commonly suitable dominant soil types. Research on the physical properties of Gastrodia elata soil mainly focuses on soil moisture content. In addition, physical properties such as soil texture, porosity, water-holding capacity also affect the quality of Gastrodia elata. In terms of chemical properties, the suitable soil pH for Gastrodia elata is 4.00-6.30, and the organic matter content is 28.63-138.30 g/kg. Among them, phosphorus is crucial for the improvement of its yield and quality. During its cultivation process, effective measures should be focused on to increase the available phosphorus content in the soil. Heavy metals such as lead and arsenic, as well as macromolecular organic substances like valenoic acid and o-heptadecanoyl carnitine, are also its important chemical properties. In terms of biological characteristics, it mainly includes research on soil microbial structure and diversity. Crop rotation or fallow can restore microbial diversity. The application of lime, anti-continuous cropping agents and other improvement agents can regulate the microbial community structure to alleviate continuous cropping obstacles and increase yield.

    To study the effects of bio-assisted fermentation on neutral odorant components and sensory quality of Yunnan cigar tobacco, 9 exogenous bioenzyme preparations including glucoamylase (GAL type) and 3 microorganisms including Bacillus pumilus were used for auxiliary fermentation. Using sterile water treatment as a control (CK), the content of aromatic compounds was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and sensory quality evaluation was conducted. The results showed that 28 kinds of neutral aroma compounds were determined, including 4 kinds of phenylalanine conversion products, 2 kinds of non-enzymatic brown reaction products, 1 kind of siberane degradation products, 8 kinds of carotenoid degradation products, 1 kind of chlorophyll degradation products and 12 kinds of other kinds of compounds. Bio-assisted fermentation was beneficial to the accumulation of phenylalanine conversion products, siparane degradation products and chlorophyll degradation products, but not conducive to the accumulation of carotenoid degradation products. In terms of sensory evaluation,except for the treatment with aminopeptidase and lipase, the sensory quality scores of the remaining processed samples were higher than CK, and the sensory quality scores of the samples treated with neutral protease and Bacillus subtilis were higher, mainly in the aspects of enhancing the richness of cigar flavor, improving smoke texture, reducing stinging and staining, and improving aftertaste. The use of biotechnology to assist the fermentation of Yunnan cigar tobacco had great potential to improve its chemical composition and sensory quality.

    Monitoring plots of different soil types were set up in the study area to investigate the dynamic changes of soil fertility and its effects on crop biomass under conventional fertilization and non-fertilization measures. A representative monitoring plot was selected in a typical yellow soil distribution area to carry out field experiments on soil fertility cultivation technology models, such as organic fertilizer cultivation, green fertilizer return to field, and straw return to field, etc. The main factors affecting soil fertility and the key factors of soil fertility cultivation under different soil fertility cultivation technology models were studied. The results showed that among the 5 different soil types, the lime soil cultivated land had the highest fertilizer amount, and the organic fertilizer input was lower and the fertilizer input was higher. The thickness of arable layer was larger than that of paddy field in dry land. The contents of soil organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, quick available potassium, and slow available potassium were all at high to medium level. In the process of cultivation and ripening, the soil properties of yellow brown soil may be inconsistent with those of natural soil formation due to human factors. Under the condition of conventional fertilization, the yield increase of purple soil cultivated land was remarkable. The grain yield and straw yield of fresh corn in the green fertilizer area were the highest by implementing the typical soil fertility cultivation technology model. The soil nutrient levels were at a higher or high level; soil fertility cultivation technology model significantly increased the content of soil microbial biomass carbon and soil microbial biomass nitrogen, and the application of organic fertilizer had the greatest effect on the increase of soil microbial biomass carbon and microbial biomass nitrogen.

    Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) is a kind of Aflatoxin (AFs), which mainly exists in mouldy feed.To understand the research progress of exogenous compounds that can mitigate the toxic effects of AFB1, this paper describes the physicochemical properties of AFs and AFB1, as well as the metabolic detoxification process of AFB1 in vivo, and combs out 8 exogenous compounds that can alleviate AFB1 poisoning, such as curcumin, vitamin E and yeast selenium, and their mechanisms of action. AFs is a kind of toxin produced by Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. The liver is the main target organ, which has strong carcinogenic, malformation and mutagenicity. Among them, AFB1 is the most toxic, which can cause oxidative stress, cell apoptosis, gene mutation and immune system damage, etc. In animals, it is mainly metabolized and detoxicated by enzymes such as CYP450s. The common mechanism of action of exogenous compounds such as curcumin is to inhibit or induce the activity of metabolic enzymes in vivo, change the metabolic rate and pathway of toxins, and alleviate the oxidative stress state of animals, so as to slow down the toxic effects of AFB1. This paper provides references for screening new detoxification drugs and clinical treatment of animal AFB1 poisoning.

    Peppermint is an important medicinal and economic crop with high value-added potential in deep processing. Menthol, its primary volatile component, possesses various biological activities. The research progress of menthol on the pharmacology, including pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, pharmaceutics and toxicology were reviewed based on relevant literature. In terms of pharmacokinetics, the area under the curve (AUC) of menthol is relatively low, and the mean residence time (MRT) and elimination half-life (T1/2) are short, indicating that it is metabolized rapidly in the body. In terms of pharmacodynamics, it exerts antibacterial effects by influencing the contents of phosphatidylcholine and other components in bacterial cell membranes; it has certain antiviral effects and enhances the immune system; it influences the formation of fungal biofilms and has good inhibitory effects on fungi such as Trichophyton and Microsporum canis; it reduces the mRNA levels of inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β) in cells and increases the activity of antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), exerting anti-inflammatory effects; it promotes apoptosis of cancer cells and inhibits their proliferation and migration; it exerts analgesic effects by regulating calcium (Ca2+) and sodium (Na+) channels in nerve cells; and it has other pharmacological activities including antiparasitic, antioxidant and neuroregulatory effects. In pharmaceutics, menthol, as an efficient penetration enhancer, enhances the transport capacity of the blood-brain barrier, lymphatic permeability, intestinal epithelial barrier and skin permeability barrier by down-regulating the levels of tight junction proteins (ZO-1, Occludin, Claudin-5). In toxicology, the median lethal dose (LD50) of this substance in rats and mice is higher than 4 000 mg/kg, indicating high safety; however, long term excessive use may cause adverse reactions such as reducing the tension of the esophageal, esophageal and gastric sphincters. This article provides a reference for the further promotion and application of menthol.

    Based on a literature review, this paper synthesizes the mechanisms underlying the detachment of the mattic epipedon during the degradation of alpine meadows on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, discusses its ecological functions, and highlights that restoring the mattic epipedon is crucial for rehabilitating degraded grasslands. The mattic epipedon in alpine meadows of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is a unique surface soil layer composed of living/dead roots and humus, playing essential ecological roles in water conservation, carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, and maintaining ecosystem stability. The detachment of the mattic epipedon is driven by multiple factors, including climate warming and drying, freeze-thaw cycles, grazing pressure, rodent disturbances, and human activities, manifesting as a degradation sequence from normal development, thickening, collapse, to complete detachment. The rupture of the mattic epipedon leads to deterioration of soil physicochemical properties, reduced microbial activity, and vegetation retrogressive succession, exacerbating the formation of “black soil patches”. Future research should focus on the response of the mattic epipedon to climate change, its role in carbon and nitrogen cycling, and restoration techniques to provide a scientific basis for the ecological rehabilitation of alpine grasslands.

    To analyze the effect of selenium-rich yeast on the physicochemical properties and flavor of blueberry wine during fermentation, an exogenous selenium supply method was used to determine the selenium enrichment ability of 4 types of yeast, such as AG1, AG2, and LM. The yeast with the best selenium enrichment effect was selected for blueberry wine fermentation, and the physicochemical indicators such as amino acid nitrogen, total acid, and pH of the fermentation broth were measured along with the main flavor compounds during the fermentation process. The results showed that AG2 (15 mg/L) had the best selenium enrichment effect, during the fermentation of blueberry wine, the contents of amino acid nitrogen and total acid in blueberry wine increased, and the highest contents were 6.2 and 7.6 g/L on the 20th day of fermentation, respectively; pH decreased slowly at first and then tended to be stable; at the initial stage of fermentation (2-6 d), the reducing sugar content in blueberry wine decreased rapidly, and then became stable. With the extension of fermentation time, the alcohol content of fermented liquor increased first and then remained unchanged, and the highest alcohol content was 13.8 %vol on the 10th day. There were some similarities and differences in the types and relative contents of the main flavor substances in the fermentation of blueberry wine inoculated with the yeast. Both of them used isoamyl alcohol, phenyl ethanol, 2-methyl-1-butanol, and 2, 3-butanediol to exert flavor. The results provide references for further research on the mechanism of selenium enrichment in blueberry wine.

    To evaluate the nutritional value of distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) derived from various raw materials, 30 DDGS samples were classified into 5 groups based on their raw material sources and crude protein content: rice DDGS, corn DDGS (Ⅰ), corn DDGS (Ⅱ), low-proportion cassava DDGS (CP > 18%), and high-proportion cassava DDGS (CP < 18%). The nutritional composition and predicted energy values were compared among these groups. Additionally, 5 representative DDGS samples were selected for further analysis of their gross energy, enzyme hydrolysate gross energy (EHGE), and digestibility determined by simulated digestion method.The results demonstrated that as the cassava substitution ratio increased, the crude protein and crude fat content of cassava DDGS gradually decreased, while crude fiber and crude ash content increased. Furthermore, model-predicted energy analysis revealed a significant decline in energy value with higher cassava substitution ratios, indicating poorer quality. Simulated digestion experiments confirmed that the energy value and digestibility of cassava DDGS decreased as the cassava substitution ratio rose.In conclusion, low-proportion cassava DDGS, with its high crude protein content and superior digestibility, is suitable as a quality protein source. Conversely, high-proportion cassava DDGS, characterized by elevated crude fiber and crude ash content, is less suitable for monogastric animals due to reduced nutrient utilization but can serve as a cost-effective roughage for ruminants.

    To screen for suitable planting densities for maize in the Central Shandong region, the density tolerant variety Huangjinliang MY73 was selected as the test material. Three planting densities of 6 000, 6 500 and 7 000 plants/667 m2 were set up to study the effects of planting density on maize yield, yield components, agronomic traits, and grain filling rate. The results showed that this variety had the highest grain yield of 851.51 kg/667 m2, the plant height, spike height, and center of gravity height were relatively low, at 192.00, 75.83, and 83.50 cm, respectively under the condition of 6 500 plants/667 m2. The third to last internode of the stem was shorter, which could reduce the risk of lodging. The grain filling process of maize populations exhibit a growth pattern of slow onset rapid growth gradually slowing down, following an “S” - shaped curve; the grain filling characteristic showed a single peak curve trend, the grain filling characteristic of each treatment reached their peak around 14 days after silk emergence; maize treated with 6 500 plants/667 m2 had a longer duration of active filling stage. Overall, increasing the planting density of compact maize varieties appropriately can fully unleash their potential for increased yield; the suitable planting density for the density tolerant variety Huangjinliang MY73 is 6 500 plants/667 m2.

    This paper combines the production practices of the rice-crayfish symbiotic farming model in the Ma’anshan region of Anhui Province, the technical requirements for paddy fields, the key techniques for rice cultivation and crayfish farming under this model were analyzed, as well as its advantages and future research trends. For this model, it was advisable to select field plots of 3–5 hm², with ridge widths no less than 1.5 m and heights of 60–80 cm. Additionally, the inner slopes of the fields should be protected with polyethylene mesh fabric with a mesh size of 5 mm.The key techniques for rice cultivation included selecting varieties with plant heights above 1.1 m, strong lodging resistance, and good disease resistance (such as Wangliangyou 018, Weiliangyou 8612, and Qiaoliangyou 17), using the “day-soaking and night-draining” method for seed soaking, and employing rice-specific germination boxes for constant-temperature sprouting. The suitable sowing period in the study area is March 15–20. Greenhouse seedling cultivation mainly adopts dry management and sprinkler irrigation, with daytime temperatures maintained at 25–30 °C. Water control and seedling hardening were implemented 5–7 days before transplanting, while the main field was rotary-tilled in advance. Mechanical transplanting is adopted, ensuring sufficient basic seedlings with a planting density of 30 cm × 17 cm and 12 000–15 000 holes/667 m². The first harvest of rice should be completed before August 20, while the ratoon rice harvest period falls between late October and early November.The key techniques for crayfish farming included stocking fry in two batches (the first from March 20 to April 20 and the second before the end of May), with a total stocking density of 7 000 individuals/667 m². On the day of release, high quality juvenile feed with a protein content of 36% and a particle size of 1.1 mm should be evenly distributed. After release, fermented yeast-based EM bacteria should be applied every 5–7 days for water quality regulation. During the harvesting period (from May to late October), a “capture the large and retain the small” approach is adopted for flexible harvesting. This model achieves “one planting with two harvests” for rice, improving its yield, while also enhancing the unit yield and size of crayfish. The harvesting period is significantly extended, leading to notable economic benefits. Future research should further investigate the effects of rice planting density and crayfish stocking density on rice yield and farming efficiency under this model.

    Gray mold is a common disease in strawberry production, which can reduce the yield and quality of strawberry and cause certain economic losses. The pathogen and symptoms of strawberry gray mold, the infection cycle of the disease, the main factors influencing its occurrence, and comprehensive control measures were elaborated. There are many types of pathogens causing strawberry gray mold, mainly including Botrytis cinerea, B. caroliniana, and B. sinoviticola, etc. The main damage is to the fruit, initially showing water-soaked spots, and later expanding into gray-brown soft rot spots covered with mold; infected flower organs, leaves, and petioles show browning, rotting, and mold. The pathogen mainly overwinters in the form of conidia, mycelium, or sclerotia in diseased residues and soil, and spreads through air currents, water vapor, or agricultural operations, infecting plants through wounds or natural openings, and repeatedly reinfecting in a humid environment. The main factors influencing the occurrence of this disease include variety resistance, fruit maturity and whether it is damaged, the amount of bacteria carried by various plant organs, environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, the amount of spores in the air), and cultivation and management measures (close planting, poor ventilation, excessive nitrogen fertilizer application, and continuous cropping). In production, it is recommended to adopt comprehensive control measures including agricultural control measures such as selecting disease-resistant varieties and high ridge mulching cultivation, ecological control measures such as high-temperature fumigation, biological control measures such as applying antagonistic bacteria (such as Bacillus subtilis and Fusarium lateritium Pa2) and plant-derived agents (eugenol, carvacrol), and chemical control measures such as alternating use of low-toxic and highly effective fungicides such as procymidone and boscalid to effectively control the occurrence of strawberry gray mold. In the future, systematic research needs to be conducted in areas such as resistance monitoring systems, development of environmentally friendly fungicides, and disease monitoring and early warning systems to provide references for the control and in-depth study of this disease.

    To compare the historical evolution, medicinal effects and chemical components of jujube and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen, the authentic evolution, efficacy verification and active components of two medicinal materials were analyzed. The key components in the pulp and seeds of the two were identified by thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and the contents of saponin B and spinosin in Ziziphi Spinosae Semen were determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Herbal research showed that jujube was mainly produced in Shandong and Shanxi provinces, while Ziziphi Spinosae Semen was mainly produced in the North China Plain and other northern regions. Both contain active components such as flavonoids and triterpenoids, but the content of hypnotic components (such as spinosin and saponin B) in Ziziphi Spinosae Semen was higher after stir-frying. TLC and HPLC showed that both the pulp of jujube and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen contained oleanolic acid and betulinic acid, while the seed of Ziziphi Spinosae Semen only contained betulinic acid, and neither of the two was detected in the seed of jujube. The content of saponin B in Ziziphi Spinosae Semen was determined by HPLC to be 0.021 7 mg/g, and that of spinosin was 0.072 6 mg/g, which might be related to the variety or harvest period. The above results indicated that the flesh components of jujube and Ziziphi Spinosae Semen were similar, but the kernels were significantly different. The medicinal parts of the two cannot be replaced. Ziziphi Spinosae Semen need to be stir-fried to increase efficiency, and their pulp can be developed into food (such as vinegar, pastries) to improve utilization.

    To select the rose varieties with better ornamental effect in summer and autumn, the analytic hierarchy process was used in this study. From the aspects of ornamental traits (C1), plant traits (C2), and resistance traits (C3), 15 indexes such as flower color, flower diameter, and fragrance of 32 rose varieties (including 19 Shrub Roses such as ‘Elizabeth Stuart’, 8 Floribunda Roses such as ‘Pink Iceberg’, and 5 Hybrid Tea Roses such as ‘Dolce Vita’) were comprehensively evaluated. The results showed that C1 had the highest weight (0.527 8). The analysis of total hierarchical ranking showed that the disease resistance and pest control ability, flower quantity per plant, and flower color were the 3 key factors affecting the ornamental effect of roses in summer and autumn. 32 rose varieties were divided into 4 grades by comprehensive evaluation:grade I included 9 varieties such as ‘Ivor’s Rose ’, which showed strong growth adaptability and high ornamental value, and was suitable for popularization and application in gardens; grade II included 12 varieties such as ‘Flower Girl’, which had excellent adaptability and appreciation, and had certain promotion and application potential; grade III included 9 varieties, such as ‘Iceberg’, which were not good in appreciation, but were adaptable; grade Ⅳ included 2 varieties, such as ‘Kaorikazari’, whose ornamental value and adaptability were relatively low. The results of this study provides references for the selection and garden application of rose varieties in Shanghai and related areas, helping to improve the quality of urban greening and residents viewing experience.

    To understand the composition, evolutionary relationship and characteristics of Ricinus communis bZIP gene family members, bioinformatics was used to identify family members, analyze gene structure, protein conserved motifs, phylogenetic analysis, and analysis of protein physicochemical properties, phosphorylation sites, and interactions, as well as gene expression patterns and expression levels in tissues. The results showed that 46 members of the Ricinus communis bZIP gene family were identified, which were located on 10 chromosomes.The gene structure and protein conserved motifs were complex, which can be divided into 11 subfamilies, including 25 motifs. Similar to Arabidopsis, the evolution was more conservative; bZIP protein was a hydrophilic protein located in the nucleus, cell membrane and chloroplast. It played a biological role mainly through the phosphorylation of serine.The proteins RcbZIP18, RcbZIP27, RcbZIP2, RcbZIP17 and RcbZIP46 were associated with each other, participating in each growth cycle of Ricinus communis through the interaction between proteins. They are involved in the developmental regulation of leaf, stem, root and embryo during growth,RcbZIP10, RcbZIP25 and RcbZIP44 showed significant organizational differences in leaves and seeds These results provide references for the functional study of Ricinus communis bZIP gene family members.
