Returning straw to deep soil layers by using a deep-ditching-ridge-ploughing method is an innovative management practice that improves quality increasing the organic carbon (SOC) content. However, optimum quantity of return has not been determined. To solve this practical production problem, following treatments with different amounts corn were investigated: no return, CK; 400 kg ha-1 straw, S400; 800 S800; 1200 S1200; and 1600 S1600. After was returned for two years, microbial biomass C...

NPS6 is one of the nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) family members. The roles in ascomycetes are well known, but its Fusarium oxysporum unidentified. We investigated function growth, morphology, stress sensitivity, allelochemical secretion, and pathogenesis F. (FoNPS6). partial deletion FoNPS6 orthologs (ΔFON-NPS6) resulted hypersensitivity to H2O2 KO2, iron depletion, reduced virulence. Full virulence was restored by complementation. ΔFON-NPS6 not only inhibited spore formation also...

Background Understanding the nitrogen (N) mineralization process and applying appropriate model simulation are key factors in evaluating N mineralization. However, there few studies of characteristics paddy soils Mollisols area Northeast China. Materials methods The were sampled from counties Qingan Huachuan, which located sample soil was incubated under waterlogged at 30°C a controlled temperature cabinet for 161 days (a 2: 1 water: ratio maintained during incubation). Three models, i.e....

Carotenoids represent a diverse class of aliphatic C40 molecules with variety applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Sporidiobolus pararoseus NGR produces various carotenoids, including torulene, torularhodin β-carotene. Salt stress significantly increases torulene accumulation S. NGR. However, little is known, about molecular mechanisms underlying increased biosynthesis. In this work, we investigated effects NaCl treatment on contents carotenoids (both qualitatively...

Returning straw into soil could increase organic carbon (SOC) and promote crop growth. However, little has been reported on the source of C for increased SOC (straw or photosynthetic C). To investigate assimilation its distribution in maize growth season, we set up a 1-year 13 pulse-labeling experiment consecutive maize-straw-returning long-term trial. Four treatments were included: no return (control), mulching surface (cover), 0–20 cm layer (shallow), 20–40 (deep). We found that deep...

Bio-organic fertilizer exerts an important part in aggregate stability as well carbon and nitrogen turnover. To investigate whether there is a synergistic effect of bio-organic application on soil properties within the aggregates. In present study, field experiment was performed to examine organic (SOC) contents, total (TN) stability, SOC TN contents fractions 0–20 cm layer. The treatments comprised no (CK), chemical alone (CF), (OF), combined with (COF). Our study suggested that OF COF...

Fertilizer application plays an important role in agricultural soil organic carbon (SOC) and its sustainable management. However, comprehensive studies of multiple large-scale experimental sites are relatively rare. There is no uniform knowledge the laws mechanisms position fertilizers merchandising procedure sequestration sink enhancement aggregates cultivation large aggregates. In this study, extent to which various fertilization treatments, durations, climate conditions, texture, land-use...
