Isatis indigotica planting is the backbone of the medicinal industry in Hexi Oasis, Gansu. In order to solve the problems insufficient water resources and excessive application of nitrogen fertilizer in this area, this paper explored the irrigation and nitrogen levels that can meet the multiple goals of Isatis indigotica. The two-factor split-plot field experiment (2018‒2019) was conducted in Minle County, Gansu Province, China, which contains 9 treatments. There were three levels of irrigation water: W1(low), W2(medium), and W3(high). The soil moisture contents were 60–70%, 70–80%, and 80–90% of the field water-holding capacity, respectively. The nitrogen application rate was classified into three levels, N1(low), N2(medium) and N3(high), which were 150, 200 and 250 kg N/ha, respectively. The standard local irrigation water amount and nitrogen application rate corresponded to W3N3. The results showed that the yield of Isatis indigotica increased first and then decreased with the increase of irrigation amount and nitrogen application rate, the yield of W2N2 is 12.2–17.1% higher than that of W1N1, the yield of W3N3 was 12.1–17.5% lower than that of W2N2. Saving water and reducing nitrogen can improve the quality of Isatis indigotica, compared with W3N3, the indigo, indirubin, (R,S)-epigoitrin and polysaccharides of W2N2 increased by 4.5–5.9%, 2.7–3.1%, 5.2–6.0%, and 1.8–2.1%, respectively. With the increase of nitrogen application rate, the water use efficiency (WUE) first increased and then decreased, as the irrigation volume increases, WUE decreases. Compared with W3N3, the WUE of W2N2 increased by 24.3–27.2%. With the increase of water input, the nitrogen fertilizer use efficiency (NUE) first increased and then decreased, as the nitrogen application rate increases, NUE decreases. Compared with W3N3, the NUE of W2W2 increased by 31.8–34.5%. Therefore, W2N2 can improve quality and increase water and nitrogen utilization efficiency on the basis of ensuring yield.
The complete mitochondrial genome of Fusarium tricinctum was sequenced. The circular molecule is a total length of 46,314 bp, and the base composition of the mitogenome is as follows: A (33.6%), T (33.1%), C (15.1%), and G (18.2%). The mitogenome contains 19 protein-coding genes, 2 ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and 27 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The mitogenome analysis of F. tricinctum provides a molecular basis for further studies on molecular systematics and evolutionary dynamics.
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. KGSJ26F3 is a plant pathogenic filamentous fungus isolated from wilted potato in northwest China where potato is the most important crop. We carried out a complete mitochondrial genome of F. oxysporum. The results showed the circular molecule is 46,664 bp, and the base composition of the mitogenome is as follows: A (34.3%), T (33.6%), C (14.6%), and G (17.5%). The mitogenome contains 18 protein-coding genes, two ribosomal RNA (rRNA), and 26 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. The gene order is identical to that of the other Fusarium mitogenomes. The taxonomic status of the F. oxysporum mitogenome exhibits a closest relationship with F. oxysporum. However, it varied in the structure of mitochondrial genome.
