Abstract:
Cotton sucrose synthase 3 (SUS3) plays an important role during the cotton fiber development. Compared to Arabidopsis SUS1/SUS4, the gene structure of cotton SUS3 has a high similarity with that of those two genes. To determine the function of the first intron of cotton SUS3, the intron was isolated and inserted into the GUS coding region to construct vector Susfig:121, and which was transformed into Arabidopsis thaliana mediated by agrobacterium. The results of GUS activity analysis of transgenic Arabidopsis plants indicated that the intron down-regulated GUS gene expression in non-pollen tissues and specifically repressed GUS expression in pollen, which suggested that the first intron played a role in gene expression.

Abstract:
The species, biomass, infection rate, infection position of biofouling at Pteria penguin and its effect on their growth performances were analyzed at different seasons. The results showed that ① the species and the biomass of fouling organisms on the Pteria penguin varied with seasons significantly, which were significantly higher in summer and autumn than that in spring and winter (that in summer was the highest)(P<0.05); the common dominant species of biofouling in summer and autumn were sponge (phylum porifera), polydora, hydroides, serpula, balanus and sea squirt, however, they were horny coral, balanus and bugula in spring, they were sea squirt, balanus and bugula in winter; in winter, the attachment situation of wild Pteria penguin were similar to that of cultured Pteria penguin, however, the parasitic load of polydora, hydroides and serpula in wild Pteria penguin were significantly lower than that in cultured Pteria penguin. ②the cultured Pteria penguin were infected by polychaete parasitosis in all seasons, and the infection rates of spring, summer, autumn and winter were 11.76%, 36.51%, 27.58%, 19.56%, respectively; in winter, the infection rate of cultured Pteria penguin was higher than that of wild Pteria penguin; the infection rates of surface shell were higher than that of the inner shell as well as both surface and inner shell in all seasons; in spring and winter, the infection rates of the inner shell were higher than that of both surface and inner shell, while in summer and autumn the results were opposite. ③ the growth performances of healthy Pteria penguin were higher than that of the infected one, especially in summer, the difference was significant.

Abstract:
In the report, to explore the drought-adaptation mechanism of T.indica, the root growth, water content and proline content in plant tissues, photosynthetic characteristic and transpiration characteristic were analyzed. The results showed that it is under arid environment that the roots of T.indica were greatly proliferated, and which were beneficial for absorbing water from soil to meet the request of physiological water; the bund water content in plant tissue was higher than free water content, which would result in slow hydraulic metabolism which should be helpful to adapt to arid environment; the proline content in plant tissue increased during dry season, and which could facilitate cell water retaining and prevent dehydration; to adapt dry environment, T.indica regulated the photosynthetic rate and transpiration rate by adjusting stomata conductance. However, all these adaptive characters would limit their productivity potential.

Abstract:
In our report, the effects of different planting pattern and planting density on main agronomic characters and pests of Arabica coffee were analyzed. The results suggested that the difference is not significant,but for the length of the longest first branch and the number of the longest first branching node,the smaller the planting density was,the smaller the rate was,the more fruit nodes, the higher yield per plant. The highest yield obtained from the planting pattern with planting spacing of 0.6 m×1.6 m and the tree number of 693 per mu, and under which the yield per mu attained 249.04 kg dry parchment coffee.

Abstract:
In the report, the facilities cultivation and field cultivation of four varieties of capsicum were performed and the differences about the 33 qualitative characteristics and pseudo-quality characteristics and 11 quantitative characteristics were determined. The results indicated that there were no significant differences on the quality characteristic between the facilities cultivation and field cultivation, however, there were significant differences on the quantity characteristics,especially for the characteristics about the leaf length and leaf width, between the facilities cultivation and field cultivation. So, in winter, considering the types and characteristics was necessary, and in order to utilize the data obtained, DUS test based on testing types should be performed.
