    To investigate the genetic polymorphism of the inbred lines and hybrids derived from Cucurbita moschata (MO)×Cucurbita maxima (MA),the genetic diversity of 53 pumpkins,including commercial varieties,core parent materials and inter-specific hybrids offspring,were investigated by thirty morphological traits and twenty SSR markers.The results showed that the core parent materials and offspring of inter-specific hybrids had more polymorphism in plant type,growth vigor,fruit skin color and shape than commercial varieties.Twenty SSR primers were screened and showed 90% of polymorphism ratio.Based on the principal components,the cluster results of morphological and SSR markers were consistent with each other very well.The two methods and three times cluster results showed that the commercial varieties and core parent materials of Cucurbita maxima were clustered into one group,firstly.This mean the commercial varieties and core parent materials of Cucurbita maxima had relatively close genetic distance and shared the severely homogenized genetic background.It's very hard to produce the new and different varieties in this situation.Secondly,the offspring of inter-specific hybrids derived from MO×MA were clustered into one group,which was distinguished from commercial varieties and core parent materials of Cucurbita maxima and the genotypes of Cucurbita moschata.The offspring of inter-specific hybrids had relatively long genetic distance and more polymorphism than commercial varieties.It's possible to derive the new and different pumpkin varieties by crossing with the genotypes having the heterogeneous genes produced from interspecies hybrids.Meanwhile,the 6 principal component factors derived from principal component analysis would be used to simplify the edible pumpkin survey indicators.

    To explore the abundance of Gibberella zeae and the composition and diversity of fungal communities in spring wheat belt of the Northeast, bulk soil samples were collected under four crop rotation patterns, such as wheat-wheat-potato (T), wheat-wheat-silybum marianum (MT), wheat-wheat-oilseed rape (R), wheat-wheat-sugarbeet (S), and wheat for three years (W) was used as control. The Illumina MiSeq was used to sequence the ITS amplicons of the strains. The data showed that the number of fungal OTUs in W, T, MT, R and S was 389, 362, 390, 471 and 438, respectively. In the R and S rotation pattern, Chao1 were increased 11.08% and 8.59% respectively, compared with wheat continuous cropping, indicating that the rotation of silybum marianum, oilseed rape and sugarbeet with wheat increased the abundance of fungi genus. Among the five planting patterns, Shannon and Simpson in MT were the highest, revealed that the diversity of fungal communities in MT was more enriched. The similarity cluster analysis of fungal community structure showed that the four rotation patterns clustered into one branch. Under the four cropping rotation patterns, the abundance of basidiomycota increased while that of Zygomycota decreased. We also found that the relative abundance of Gibberella zeae decreased by 16.67%, 50.00% and 83.33% in R, S and MT, respectively, while the abundance of friendly genus were remarkably increased. However, the relative abundance of Gibberella zeae was increased significantly in the T pattern. Based on the above research results and the local planting structure, it is suggested to plant silybum marianum, sugarbeet and oilseed rape rotation with wheat to reduce the hazard of wheat scab.

    Strawberry powdery mildew caused by Sphaerotheca aphanis is one of the strawberry diseases with large incidence area and high incidence frequency in the protected cultivation areas, which usually occurs from seedling stage to fruiting stage. Therefore, the establishment of a rapid and efficient detection method of S. aphanis is quite important for the diagnosis and control of strawberry powdery mildew.A set of LAMP amplification primers including F3/B3、FIP/BIP and LF/LB were designed for the conserved sequence of ITS gene of Sphaerotheca aphanis as the target gene. Through the double judgment method of Real-time fluorescence curve and fluorescence color change, the main factors in the LAMP reaction system including the final concentrations of dNTPs, MgSO4, BstDNA polymerase and betaine and amplification temperature were selected and optimized to increased etections ensitivity and specificity. Finally, the effects of field samples detection by optimized LAMP were evaluated.The results showed that the LAMP detection system of strawberry powdery mildew was established successfully. The optimized reaction conditions included dNTPs 1.6 mmol/L, MgSO4 8 mmol/L, BstDNA polymerase 320 U/moL and betaine 1.2 mmol/L and the amplification temperature was 65 ℃. Under such conditions, the minimum detection sensitivity was 3.2×10-4 ng/μL within 60 min, and the efficiency of which was 100 times higher than the result of PCR amplification.The visual LAMP method could effectively detect the samples with no obvious symptoms infected by S. aphanis in the early stage. This method has the advantages of short detection time, direct observation with eyes, low requirements for operators and low detection cost. It has important guiding significance for the early diagnosis, monitoring, early prevention and determination of the best control time of strawberry powdery mildew.
