    Abstract China's agricultural subsidy system has increased the investment on the agricultural production factors such as energy and chemistry, which caused an increase of agricultural carbon emissions. Based on the Thousand-Village Survey data from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics in 2013, the focal paper uses ordinary and two-stage least squares (OLS and 2SLS) to systematically investigate the impact and mechanism of agricultural subsidies on agricultural carbon emissions in China. Results show that China's current agricultural subsidy system has a promoting effect on agricultural carbon emissions. Four types of agricultural subsidies, namely, direct grain subsidies, subsidies for improved varieties, comprehensive subsidies for agricultural materials, and agricultural machinery purchase subsidies, impact the agricultural carbon emissions in ascending order. The agricultural subsidies increase the agricultural carbon emissions directly and indirectly. The findings indicate that a new type of agricultural subsidy system should be constructed, which mainly includes subsidies for farmers' out-migrating for work and land transfer, direct subsidies for grain, and subsidies for improved seed varieties. Among them, the direct grain subsidies should be implemented on the size of planting area and subsidies for improved seed varieties on the size of farmland to reduce the agricultural carbon emissions.

    Abstract The synergistic effect of frozen-phase high pressure (HP) on the inactivation of E. coli ATCC 25922 cultures in suspension medium, Chinese bayberry juice (pH 3.0), and carrot juice (pH 6.5) was evaluated. The survivor count of E. coli remained at 3.36 log CFU/mL on a nonselective brain heart infusion (BHIA) medium, while no survivor was detected on a selective violet red bile agar (VRBA) medium after a 5 min hold pressure at 250 MPa in a frozen culture suspension. BHIA was suitable for safe testing of the injured E coli cells after HP treatment in frozen state. Frozen Chinese bayberry juice showed higher sensitivity to HP treatment for its matrix property with high sterilizing efficiency at 170 MPa. Two pulses exhibited a significant inactivation effect in frozen samples compared with one pulse, especially for the Chinese bayberry juice with different pressure levels. The destruction kinetics of HP pulse mode followed the first-order rate kinetics with a Zp value of 267 MPa in frozen carrot juice. Our results evaluated the influenced factors of frozen HP destruction effects, including the medium, substrate, and application mode. The frozen HP destruction kinetics of pulses afford us better understanding of the technology application in the food industry.

    Abstract The 3′untranslated region (3′UTR) and NS5B of classical swine fever virus (CSFV) play vital roles in viral genome replication. In this study, two chimeric viruses, vC/SM3′UTR and vC/b3′UTR, with 3′UTR substitution of CSFV Shimen strain or bovine viral diarrhea virus (BVDV) NADL strain, were constructed based on the infectious cDNA clone of CSFV vaccine C strain, respectively. After virus rescue, each recombinant chimeric virus was subjected to continuous passages in PK-15 cells. The representative passaged viruses were characterized and sequenced. Serial passages resulted in generation of mutations and the passaged viruses exhibited significantly increased genomic replication efficiency and infectious virus production compared to parent viruses. A proline to threonine mutation at position 162 of NS5B was identified in both passaged vC/SM3′UTR and vC/b3′UTR. We generated P162T mutants of two chimeras using the reverse genetics system, separately. The single P162T mutation in NS5B of vC/SM3′UTR or vC/b3′UTR played a key role in increased viral genome replication and infectious virus production. The P162T mutation increased vC/SM3′UTRP₁₆₂T replication in rabbits. From RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) assays in vitro, the NS5B containing P162T mutation (NS5BP₁₆₂T) exhibited enhanced RdRp activity for different RNA templates. We further identified that the enhanced RdRp activity originated from increased initiation efficiency of RNA synthesis. These findings revealed a novel function for the NS5B residue 162 in modulating pestivirus replication.

    Abstract The nonantimicrobial properties and relatively poor mechanical properties of hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) limit its use in packaging. Sulfated rice bran polysaccharides (SRBP) possess significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of different concentrations of SRBP on the physical and mechanical properties and the functional characteristics of HEC/SRBP films. The physical properties of the HEC/20% SRBP films, such as water resistance, water vapor barrier, light barrier, and tensile strength, improved significantly (

    Abstract Microplastics (MPs) are plastic pollutants with a diameter of less than 5 mm and microcystins (MCs) are natural toxins produced by cyanobacteria. In recent years, the pollution of MPs and MCs attracted widespread attention. However, our understanding about the toxic effects of co-exposure of MPs and MCs on male reproduction is limited. Mice were continuously exposed to 0.04mg/(kg*bw) microcystin-leucine-arginine (MC-LR) or 45 mg/(kg*bw) polystyrene microplastics (PS-MPs) or a mixed solution of 0.04mg/(kg*bw) MC-LR and 45 mg/(kg*bw) PS-MPs by gavage for 28 days in this study. The results showed that PS-MPs could absorb MC-LR in ddH

    Abstract This study evaluated the effect of ethanol vapor treatments on the physicochemical characteristics and quality of postharvest water bamboo shoots (WBS) (Zizania caduciflora L.). WBS were treated with ethanol vapor at doses of 0 (control), 500, 750, and 1000 μl/L at 0 ± 1°C for 35 days. The fruit were evaluated for weight loss, firmness, color, total soluble solids, soluble sugars, malondialdehyde, lignin, and lignification‐related enzyme activities. The results revealed that all ethanol treatments could inhibit the weight loss and softening of WBS, reduce the reduction of soluble solids and soluble sugars content, inhibit the lignification‐associated enzymes peroxidase and phenylalanine ammonia lyase activities, and reduce the synthesis of lignin. Among them, the 750 μl/L ethanol vapor treatment had a significant effect on all tested parameters and maintained the storage quality of WBS better than other treatments. PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Water bamboo shoot is a nutritionally rich aquatic vegetable. However, its quality deteriorates rapidly after harvest due to wilting, softening, and lignification. The ethanol vapor treatment in this study significantly reduced the softening and lignification of WBS. The ethanol vapor treatment is simple and has less residue, which is effective in maintaining the fruit quality and reducing the nutritional loss of WBS after harvest. It is a safe and environmentally friendly preservation method for WBS.

    Abstract Commonly found flavonols in plants are synthesized from dihydroflavonols by flavonol synthase (FLS). The genome of Arabidopsis thaliana contains six FLS genes, among which FLS1 encodes a functional enzyme. Previous work has demonstrated that the R2R3-MYB subgroup 7 transcription factors MYB11, MYB12, and MYB111 redundantly regulate flavonol biosynthesis. However, flavonol accumulation in pollen grains was unaffected in the myb11myb12myb111 triple mutant. Here we show that MYB21 and its homologs MYB24 and MYB57, which belong to subgroup 19, promote flavonol biosynthesis through regulation of FLS1 gene expression. We used a combination of genetic and metabolite analysis to identify the role of MYB21 in regulating flavonol biosynthesis through direct binding to the GARE cis-element in the FLS1 promoter. Treatment with kaempferol or overexpression of FLS1 rescued stamen defects in the myb21 mutant. We also observed that excess reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulated in the myb21 stamen, and that treatment with the ROS inhibitor diphenyleneiodonium chloride partly rescued the reduced fertility of the myb21 mutant. Furthermore, drought increased ROS abundance and impaired fertility in myb21, myb21myb24myb57, and chs, but not in the wild type or myb11myb12myb111, suggesting that pollen-specific flavonol accumulation contributes to drought-induced male fertility by ROS scavenging in Arabidopsis.
