Mo-efficient cultivar 97003 (eft) and Mo-inefficient cultivar 97014 (ineff) were grown in severely Mo-deficient acidic soil (Tamm-reagent-extractable Mo 0.112 mg kg^-1) with (+Mo) and without (-Mo) the application of 0.13 mg kg^-1 Mo. The accumulation and use efficiency of plant total N were significantly higher in +Mo than that in -Mo and in eft than that in ineff under Mo deficiency. N use efficiency was remarkably higher in maturity but it was forwarded to jointing stage after Mo supply, thus indicating that Mo supply promoted the N use efficiency besides N uptake and eff was efficient in N uptake and utilization. The overall activity of nitrate reductase (NR, EC 1.6.6.1) was significantly higher in +Mo than in -Mo and ratio of +Mo/-Mo was even to 14.8 at filleting stage for ineff. Activity of glutamine synthetase (GS, EC 6.3.1.2) was significantly lower in +Mo than in -Mo. Concentration of nitrate and glutamate were also significantly lower in +Mo than in -Mo, thus provided evidences for enhancing N use efficiency by Mo supply. Activities of NR and GS were significantly higher and concentrations of nitrate and glutamate were significantly lower in eff than ineff under Mo deficiency, thus indicated eff was more efficient in N reduction and utilization. It is therefore concluded that Mo could promote N accumulation and utilization in winter wheat which was directly related to NR and feedback regulated by GS. Higher Mo status also results in higher accumulation and utilization of plant N in eft.展开更多

Results showed that the flame induced the precipitation and growth of the Mg_2Si phase on the Al substrate for the thermal aging A6N01 aluminum alloy welded joints,thus it led the decrease of micro-hardness and tensile strength of the A6N01 aluminum alloy welded joint with the increase of the heating pass. However,the fatigue property of the flame heated joint was improved because the Mg_2Si precipitation hindered the initiation and propagation of the fatigue crack.展开更多
