Beta macrocarpa, Guss is an interesting species showing very low germination rates. The leading objectives of this work were to investigate the dormancy mechanism and to find methods to break dormancy in order to achieve rapid, uniform and high germination. Macro and micro-morphologic analyses were performed by stereo microscopy and scanning electron microscopy showed two fruit coats. The yellow external coat or persistent perianth coat (PPC) was accrescent with 5 erect segments contiguous to the operculum of the seed capsule. This coat forms spongy layers (50 to 300 µm thick) that could be eliminated manually. The narrow internal coat or pericarp or achene coat (AC) forms woody joined seed capsules, each presenting a pressed operculum that cannot be manually opened. This coat was not adherent to seeds and was composed of compressed cells (50 to 200 µm thick) which form pockets for salt cristal. Seeds were lentiform (1 to 2 mm diameter and 0.5 to 0.8 mm thick) and highly fragile. The embryo was whitish surrounded peripherally by the perisperm with two highly developed cotyledons and radical. Polyphenol concentrations in both coats showed that after 4 months of collection, total polyphenol concentrations were 4-fold higher in the pericarp than in the persistent perianth. However, after one year, this parameter decreases significantly in the pericarp, whereas, it increases to a larger extent in the perianth. Different germination tests indicated that the pericarp provides a chemical and a physical resistance to seed germination during the first 4 months of the experiment after collection. The chemical dormancy was released to higher levels of total polyphenol compounds that inhibited seed germination and seedling growth. However, the physical dormancy was associated with the hardness of this intern coat which caused a mechanical resistance to radicle emergence. After one year of storage, total polyphenol pericarp concentration decreased notably, and chemical resistance disappeared, whereas the physical one persisted. Consequently, one year of storage pericarp removal is sufficient to break this exogenous dormancy.
The continuous development of emerging economies represented by China and Russia has exacerbated the changes in the world political and economic landscape, and international organizations represented by the United Nations have led to inefficient dispute resolution mechanisms in international affairs due to their formalism and pluralism. On the contrary, G-groups has shown its flexibility and efficiency in global governance. However, the international community has been questioned G-group’s legitimacy for many years. This paper will take the G7 and G20 as examples, analyze the legitimacy problems in G-groups, explain their reform measures, and propose future reform directions to promote the development of G-groups, so as to help the international community to conduct global governance more effectively.
In recent years, science and technology have continued to develop and progress, and the level of teaching digitalization has improved. Music education occupies an important position in many universities, and it is necessary and feasible to use digital technology to explore its impact in basic education. The digitalization and technology of music education in colleges and universities have had a positive impact on basic education, such as balancing educational resources, updating education models, optimizing teaching platforms, and practicing student-oriented concepts. In order to maximize the role of digital technology, it can be innovated and applied from sight-singing ear training teaching, orchestration course teaching, and polyphonic course teaching.
With the rapid development of society, college students are facing the dual pressure of study and employment, which leads to an endless stream of mental health problems, and has become the focus of society, schools and families. Therefore, it is particularly important to do a good job in college students’ mental health education. College counselors are good teachers and good friends of students. They play an important guiding role in college students’ mental health education. They play an important role in improving students’ personality and mental health. This paper analyzes the advantages of college students’ psychological health education, and puts forward the effective participation strategies of college Students’ psychological health education.
