RESUMEN
The complete genome sequence of a new potato virus M (PVM) isolate (PVM-YN), collected from potato (Solanum tuberosum) in Yunnan, China, was determined. It was 8,530 nucleotides (nt) in length, excluding the poly(A) tail at the 3' end, and shared 71.4-72.0% nucleotide sequence identity with available PVM isolates in the NCBI database. The coat proteins (CP) of PVM-YN shared 79.0-97.4% amino acid sequence identity with that of other isolates. It is the first report of the complete genomic sequence of a new PVM isolate infecting S. tuberosum in China.

Commonly consumed foxtail millet varieties Jingu28 and Jingu34 were compared in terms of phytochemical composition, antioxidant property, and antiproliferative activity. The cellular antioxidant activity (CAA) was evaluated based on HepG2 cell cultivation. Antiproliferative properties against HepG2 and MDA cell were assayed by methylene blue assay. Total phenolic content (TPC) was 78.79 and 114.22 mg gallic acid equiv/100 g DW in Jingu28 and Jingu34. Both varieties contained ferulic acid, chlorogenic acid, caffeic acid and p-coumaric acid, syringic acid. Xanthophylls and zeaxanthin were also detected. Peroxyl radical scavenging capacity of the foxtail millet were 228.13 (Jingu28) and 355.03 (Jingu34) µmol of vitamin C equiv/100 g, respectively. CAA values of the foxtail millet varieties ranged from 1.52 to 8.97 µmol quercetin equiv/100 g DW. The proliferation of MDA and HepG2 cancer cells were significantly inhibited in a dose-dependent manner after exposure to Jingu28 and Jingu34 extractions.

Potato-sunflower intercropping is a prevailing cropping system in the agricultural and pastoral ecotone in China. To precisely simulate the crop phenology in the intercropping system is of significance for the assessment and optimization of intercropping systems. In this paper, the simulation model for the development stages of sunflower and potato in monoculture and intercropping was established, based on the crop's physiological development time, and validated with the field experimental data from 2010 to 2011. A good fitness was observed between the simulated and observed values of the crop's development stages. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the development stages from sowing to emergence, emergence to flowering, flowering to mature, and from sowing to mature was 1.2, 2.9, 2.4 and 2.6 d, respectively, with the prediction error lower than 5%. The model was strong on mechanistic, explanation and adaptability, and could be applied as a good tool in the researches of crop growth and development.
