Quantitative classification and ordination aiming to realize multifactor ecological land classification was developed for the mountainous region in eastern Liaoning Province. Data for ground flora and canopy trees species from selected stands were summarized and subjected to TWINSPAN classification and PCA, CCA ordination. CCA indicated that slope and aspect were highly correlated with the ground flora and canopy tree species. Pairwise MRPP tests indicated many significant differences (P<0.05) among the vegetation groups and environmental factors. 6 types of plant community, which can be used to indicate the vegetation type in ecological classification system, were based on cluster analysis of the six most environment factors. The vegetation of the mountainous region in eastern Liaoning Province was believed to be related a moisture and nutrient gradient which was mainly influenced by slope and aspect, which can be used as criterion in ecological land classification.

Regeneration dynamic in logging gap of different sizes and ages was studied in Populus davidianaBetula platyphylla secondary forests in Changbai Mountain by using line transects method. The results showed: The gaps occupied 7%(canopy gaps area<50 m2),21%(50~100 m2),36%(100~150 m2),29%(150~200 m2),7%(>200 m2) in the proportion of logging gap sizes respectively; Gaps were usually formed after 7~10 trees logged that were mainly composed of P. davidiana, B.platyphylla and Maackia amurensis. The composition of seedlings species was simple and the distribution of seedlings was not evenness in gaps. The species number, individual density, LAI, mean height and mean basilar diameter of seedlings were better in gaps than in non gaps. Some species, such as Acer mono, Sorbus pohuashanensis, M. amurensis adapted well to gaps, but other species, such as Fraxinus mandshurica and Malus baccata adapted well to non gaps. With the increasing of gap ages, owe to the litter and nutrition content increasing in soil, the species number and individual density of seedlings increased distinctly, and seedlings growth was improved, the advantage for regeneration in gaps was more obvious than in non gaps. The seedling trait was obvious difference at different position, within gaps result from the obvious space heterogeneity of PAR, soil nutrition content and litter. The regeneration was best at west edge of gap and most inferior at center and midnorth of gap. The seedlings of regeneration in <50 m2 gaps were as equivalent as those in nongaps, the least in >200 m2 gaps and excellent in 100~150 m2 gaps where the individual density, LAI, height growth and basilar diameter growth were firstclass, which was due to the huge difference of PAR in gaps of different sizes. Therefore, the gap of 100~150 m2 benefited the regeneration of seedlings best.

The landscape pattern and fragmentation in Beitun of Irtysh River Basin in Xingjian was analyzed by using RS and GIS in combining with the vegetation maps and field investigations. Quantitative indices of landscape pattern were chosen to examine landscape pattern and fragmentation. By using the software ERDAS image8-7, 7 primary landscape types and 10 secondary landscape types were classified, which including 5 primary vegetation types and 8 secondary vegetation types. The total classification accuracy was 87.2%. The primary vegetation types area percentage of farmland, riparian forest, wetland, grassland and desert vegetation was 16.5%, 2.6%, 1.6%, 10.5%, and 52.2% respectively. The patch maximal perimeter, patch maximal area and mean area indices of riparian forest were lower than other vegetation types, which disclosed that riparian forest distributed in the manner of smaller patches in the whole landscape. The value of mean patch shape, fractal dimension index, and edge density index of riparian forest were higher than other vegetation types, which indicated that riparian forest had more complex patch shape. All the pattern indices demonstrated that riparian forest was the most fragmented type in Irtysh River Basin, which was mainly due to that the riparian forest haven experienced high intensity and frequency of human disturbance since it had the highest biodiversity and most abundant natural resources in the landscape of Irtysh River Basin. The landscape diversity indices showed that the patch area distributed rather unevenly, the patch number distributed more evenly, however. 

Content of anthocyanin and the activities of enzymes in anthocyanin biosyntheses including plenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL), chalcone ismoerase (CHI), dihydroflavonol reductase (DFR) and UDP glucose-flavonoid-3-o-glycosyltranfe-rase (UFGT) were investigated using Padus virginiana 'Schubert' in the leaf color-changing period, and P.resemosa was taken as control. The results indicated that from May to July the content of anthocyanin in the leaves at the base, middle and top of branches in P.virginiana 'Schubert' increased by 219.40%, 666.63% and 76.81%. The activity of PAL was quadratically correlated with the content of anthocyanin, and the content of anthocyanin increased as the PAL activity increased after it was higher than 60 U·g-1 FW. CHI activity was significantly and positively correlated with the content of anthocyanin. The content of anthocyanin increased also with an increase in DFR activity when it was between 50 and 150 U·g-1 FW. There was a power function correlation between UFGT activity and content of anthocyanin, and the increase in UFGT activity could significantly raise the content of anthocyanin.

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to evaluate the genetic diversity and population structure of 91 genets from four natural populations of Betula luminifera at different altitudes in Wuyi Mountains, Fujian Province, east of China. Eighteen random primers (out of 139 employed primers) produced a total of 199 scorable amplified fragments, of which 174 (87.44%) were polymorphic across all individuals. The genetic diversity of B. luminifera at the population level and species level was PPL=60.05%,h=0.224 2, I=0.318 1 and PPL=87.44%, h=0.344 2, I=0.489 9, respectively. The level of genetic variation varied regularly with different altitudes, that is, the level of genetic variation of the population was the highest at the altitude of 580 m (Pop1), and it became dropping for the populations at the altitude of 750 m (Pop2), 980 m (Pop3) and 1 250 m (Pop4). The high value of differentiation (Gst =0.348 6) and analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) indicated there was significant genetic differentiation among populations, and about one-third of the variations occurred among populations. Pearson correlation analysis further revealed that the genetic diversity within populations was significantly correlated with the altitude and climatic factors (annual average temperature and annual precipitation), and soil nutrient factors (total nitrogen, C/N ratio and organic matter). Mantel tests showed that there was significant correlation between the genetic distances among populations and the distance of elevation, and the divergence of soil nutrient factors. The results of the present study suggested that the genetic differentiation among populations of B. luminifera at different altitudes may be caused by the ecological factors of different altitudes and gene flow.

Selection of optimal provenances is a key link in breeding Cunninghamia lanceolata. In this study, a method of modified projection pursuit was employed to overcome difficulties in decision making in the selection of the optimal provenances. The modified projection pursuit method had been widely used in forest investigation in recent years. This method integrates the multidimensional classification indexes of every provenance into one-dimensional projection values, and it, therefore, is able to rank directly the indexes according to the projection size and provides a scientific basis in provenance selection of C.lanceolata. Based on the data of provenance test of C. lanceolata planted in Xinkou Experimental Forest of Fujian Agriculture and Forestry University, the modified projection pursuit method was used to study the selection of superior provenance for C. lanceolata. The results showed that the provenance from Nanping of Fujian Province was the best in terms of growth speed, productivity and high quality, followed by that in Huitong of Hunan Province. Consequently it is suggested to use Nanping Provenance for plantation in the north of Fujian. This result is consistent with that based on the field experiment, and also basically consistent with that by the analytic hierarchy process. It is concluded that the modified projection pursuit method is feasible in provenance selection.

Sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase (SBPase) is a key enzyme in the regenerative phase of Calvin cycle. A full-length cDNA encoding SBPase (designated as MSBPase, GenBank accession No. DQ995346) was cloned from mulberry (Morus alba var. multicaulis) by rapid amplification of cDNA ends (RACE). The cDNA was 1 527 bp containing a 1 179 bp open reading frame which was deduced for encoding a peptide of 393 amino acids whose molecular mass was inferred to be 42.6 ku with its isoelectric point at 5.85. Sequence comparison analysis showed that the sedoheptulose-1,7-bisphosphatase from mulberry (MSBPase) had high homology to SBPases from other plants. It was prospected that the structure of MSBPase was rich in coils and helixes, and was poor in strands. The coding region of the MSBPase was inserted into an expression vector, pET30a (+), and transformed into Escherichia coli BL2l. The fusion protein was successfully expressed with IPTG induction. The plant expression vector with this fragment under the control of 35S promoter was constructed. The gene cloned in this study may be an asset in the mulberry gene engineering and the results may be helpful to further study the regulation of SBPase.

Camellia Oleifera is an important oil-producing woody species in China, and the oil, called as tea-oil, can be used as a high-quality edible oil, cosmetic material and biomass energy with the abundant poly unsaturated fatty acids such as oleic acid and linoleic acid. FAD2 gene is a key factor in controlling lipid biosynthesis, and controls the formation of linoleic acid from oleic acid in seeds of C. oleifera. Cloning of the FAD2 gene would facilitate us to reveal the lipid synthesis rule in seeds of C. oleifera and have important impact on theory and application. Full-length cDNA clone of FAD2 gene was for the first time obtained by using methods of 5′RACE and overlap extension PCR based on our constructed EST library of C. oleifera. It was 1 682 bp in length and contained a 1 149 bp ORF (open reading frame) encoding a peptide of 382 amino acids, which had the typical conserved domains of FAD2 and showed high homology with those of other plant species.

Peach fruits (Amygdalus persica 'Bayuecui') were stored in air (CK) and controlled atmosphere (CA,10%O2+10%CO2) at 0~1 ℃ to evaluate the storage effect. The fruit firmness, juice extraction rate, membrane permeability, pectinesterase(PE), polygalacturonase (PG), polyphenol oxidase (PPO), catalase (CAT) and peroxidase (POD) activities as well as flesh browning were measured and analyzed. The results showed that CA-stored peach fruits remained the better consumer quality than CK did. Not only relayed the appearance of flesh browning, but also significantly decreased the degree of flesh browning. It significantly increased the content of soluble sugar, the activity of CAT during the entire storage, and the activity of PPO at the later stage of storage. The activity of POD and membrane permeability were inhibited significantly (P<0.05). It was found that peach fruits stored for up to 60 d in CA had no unacceptable loss of quality, while the storage time in CK was only 30 d with the same fruit quality.

The community diversity of arthropod was investigated in forest-steppe ecotone in southeast edge of Inner Mongolia tableland. Totally, 15 orders, 77 families and 326 species were recorded, and they belonged to Insect, Arachnoida and Myriapoda. The individual numbers of Araneae, Diptera, Homoptera and Hymenoptera accounted for more than 10% of the total,and they were considered as dominant groups. The individual number, species number, H1 and J increased gradually with the environment gradients from forest to steppe, with maximum in forest-meadow or meadow-steppe ecotone and minimum in steppe. The individual numbers, species numbers and H1 of the ecotones were maximum, and they were significantly higher than that in forest and steppe. The result indicated that the edge effect was obvious in the large-scale forest-steppe ecotone. The arthropod community composition in different vegetation zones varied considerably. Their similarity gradually reduced from the forest zone to forest-meadow region, to meadow-steppe region and to steppe zones, which suggested that the similarity varied with the environmental gradient changes. The composition of arthropod community in ecotone and steppe zones had apparent differentiation from the forest zone, and the differentiation was gradually increasing. Multiple linear regression analyses showed that forest patch number and vegetable coverage were the most important factor determining the species diversity and evenness of arthropod community, and forest patch number, average forest patch size and vegetable coverage affected the individual number and species number. The percentage of nature enemy entities in different vegetation zones were (0.363 1±0.041 6)%~{(0.524 9}±0.036 5)%. The nature enemies played an important role in maintaining ecosystem balance of the forest-steppe ecotone.

By means of FTIR, the cellulose of walnut shell was liquefied and degraded under acid catalyst in the presence of phenol firstly. The variation of main chemical groups of liquefied and degraded products of cellulose as a function of reaction time based on FTIR characteristics was discussed in this paper. Results from FTIR spectra showed, although the course of reaction could be described by liquefaction, the process was a degradation of cellulose essentially; cellulose was degraded to low molecular fragments such as oligosaccharides, and the pyranoid ring was broken at last.

The adsorption property of aniline on bamboo-charcoal was studied in aqueous solution. Parameters such as contact time,pH,mass of absorbent, adsorption temperature, and initial concentration of aniline in solution were also studied. The result shows that adsorption equilibrium time is 360 min. The bamboo-charcoal showed high adsorption ability for aniline at a wide pH range(pH 4.0~6.4), the optimized adsorption acidity of bamboo-charcoal for aniline is pH 5.90 in Hac-NaAc medium. As initial concentration of aniline is 0.060 mg·mL -1 ,the equilibrium adsorption amounts is 44.5 mg·g-1 . The aniline can be removed from aqueous solution effectively with bamboo-charcoal. As the adsorption temperature increases, the adsorption decrease. And it has been proved that the adsorption process is an exothermic process. The adsorption behavior of bamboo-carbon for aniline obeys the Freundlich isotherm model. The used bamboo-charcoal is treated with microwave by heating in 0.8 mol·L-1 H2SO4,the adsorption ability can be regenerated to 97%. As absorptive material, the bamboo-charcoal can be applied to remove aniline from wastewater.

The aboveground and underground biomass and allometry relationship between plant height and stem diameter of Robinia pseudoacacia seedling under different planting density were studied. Experiments were designed for cultivated R. pseudoacacia seedling under different planting density (including row spacing 30 cm, and planting distance 15, 20, 25, 30 cm) in March 2005. The seedlings were watered and fertilized regularly to maintain growth under limited resources. At the beginning of September 2005, the seedling leaves, stems and roots were harvested and weighed separately to obtain the wet and dry biomass. The result showed that the biomass of roots, stems and leaves of R. pseudoacacia increased with planting distance increase under row spacing 30 cm. Ratio of root to shoot of R. pseudoacacia increased with planting distance increase, and was all less than 1 under different planting distance. Ratio of root to shoot of R. pseudoacacia was significant between planting distance 15 cm and other distances, but not significant among planting distance 20, 25 and 30 cm. The less effects of low density on aboveground biomass, underground biomass and resource utilization of R. pseudoacacia. The plant height and stem diameter of R. pseudoacacia seedling increased with planting distance increase (p<0.05). Under low density, there is no notable competition between individual plants, the relationship between height and stem diameter show simple allometry and form of its allometric equation is y=a+bx. However, under high density, there is strong intraspecific competition between individual plants, the relationship between height and diameter is nonlinear allometry and its allometric function can be expressed as y=ax2+bx+c.

Seed sizes of 74 woody species, including 40 trees and 34 shrubs, of middle subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest in Mt. Jinyun were investigated and the likely mechanism of seed size variation was analysized. The results showed that: 1) There was considerable variance in the seed length and great variance in the seed weight among the 74 species. The maximum seed length was 100 times greater than the minimum. The lengths of most seeds were in a range of 0.1~1 cm, accounted for 71.62% of the total species. The maximum seed weight was 10 000 times greater than the minimum. A 39.41% of species had their 1 000 seed weights in a range of 10~100 g. 2) The results of statistic analysis indicated the seed sizes were influenced by their habitats. The longest seeds were born in canopy layer, the middle in forest edge & understorey and the shortest in dankness habitat. Additionally, the seed sizes were also influenced by growth forms of species. The seed sizes gradually decreased with the growth forms sequence of large tree, middle tree, small tree, large shrub and small shrub. Moreover, the phylogenetic backgrounds of species had little influences on the seed sizes. Little correlations were found between seed sizes and their orders, families, taxonimical groups with the different weight ratio of endosperm and different fruit types.

The activities of Chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase in ‘Ya' pear(Pyrus bretschneideri'Yali') fruit inoculated with Botryosphaeria berengriana f.sp. Piricola and healthy pear fruit during growth and storage were measured. The results showed that the activities of Chitinase and β-1,3-glucanase of the inoculated fruit were significantly higher than that of the healthy one and the activities of the rot section and the edge were higher than of healthy pulp, which suggested that the two enzymes were closely correlated to pear fruit resistance to Botryosphaeria berengriana infection. Two enzymes activities were lower at young stage of pear fruit, whereas chitinase activity was higher from 70 d to 130 d after blossom, and the activity peak of β-1,3-glucanase appeared on 130 d after blossom. Therefore, the two enzymes were closely related to pear fruit against ring rot disease at inflating stage. The activities of two enzymes all declined during storage, and in the same time the pear fruit resistance to ring rot disease reduced rapidly. In conclusion, the two enzymes activities of pear fruit may be correlated with the disease resistance during different periods.

History and development situation of panel furniture structural strength design was introduced systematically in this paper. By analysis,we think, at present, it is lack of further analysis and accurate calculation in design of panel furniture, so it may lead to strength and stiffness of furniture can't meet use requirements, cause deformation and it can't meet its design life, it may also result in a too powerful safe coefficient, waste resources and decrease its artistic charm. With the development of computer and finite element methods, we proposed that finite element principle and optimal design technology should be used in design, and integrated system of CAD/CAM/CAE should be opened up to perfect and accelerate scientific development of panel furniture structural strength design, to promote progress and improvement of domestic panel furniture industry.
