Backshoring and nearshoring: An overview     

Benedetta Piatanesi  Josep‐Maria Arauzo‐Carod 《Growth and change》2019,50(3):806-823

Increasingly, economies that have traditionally benefited from offshoring are losing some of their strategical advantages, with a consequent increase in backshoring by developed economies. This paper describes the phenomenon and tries to shed light on the current challenges, trends, and debates in the area, and on the main determinants of backshoring. A new phenomenon known as nearshoring is also analysed—this consists of relocating some previously offshored manufacturing activities so that they are now close to previous core locations, but not so close as to suffer from disagglomeration effects. This combines the advantages of offshoring and backshoring.  相似文献   

Spatial–temporal evolution of the port–hinterland relationship: A case study of the Midstream Yangtze River,China     

Dan He  Zhijing Sun  Peng Gao  Yui‐yip Lau 《Growth and change》2019,50(3):1043-1061

Most scientific attention on port studies centers on deep sea ports, especially container ports. In this paper, in contrast, attention is focused on the spatial–temporal development of inland waterway ports on the Midstream Yangtze River from 2001 to 2013. The aim of this study is to assess two relevant and complementary questions of the hinterland evolution: its geographical extent and the coordination relationship with the inland port. To conduct the study, it was necessary to first identify the boundaries of the ports' hinterlands within the given timeframe. Then, the coupling coordination degree model was introduced to explore the underlying relationship between the port service and hinterland economy. Furthermore, to better depict the intricate economic characteristics of the hinterland, the development stage theory was applied in the models. The results highlight the emergence of a discontinuous hinterland at Wuhan Port and its reinforcement of primacy with respect to fierce hinterland rivalry. It also demonstrates that an interplay between major ports and their corresponding hinterlands evolves from the transitional stage, characterized by lagging port service, to the multi‐stage, wherein the supply of ports partly outstrips hinterland demand.  相似文献   

The role of ear environment in postharvest susceptibility of maize to toxigenic Aspergillus flavus

A kernel screening assay (KSA) was used to assess the genetic and environmental effects on the vulnerability of maize to aflatoxin accumulation. Kernels of 26 inbred lines that had been grown in seven environments, and 190 lines of the Intermated B73xMo17 (IBM) population grown in one location in the United States, were inoculated with a toxigenic strain of A. flavus and incubated in the dark at 30°C for 6 days. Percent kernel colonization (PKC), sporulation and aflatoxin were influenced by the maize genotypes (G), the location (“ear environment” or E) and the GxE interactions. Overall, low broad‐sense heritabilities were observed for PKC, sporulation and aflatoxin. PKC was significantly correlated with sporulation in all environments. Aflatoxin was positively correlated with colonization for two and with sporulation for all ear environments. Higher grain sulphur or magnesium in IBM was associated with less colonization or aflatoxin. Postharvest susceptibility of maize to aflatoxin is thus influenced by factors that are modulated by the ear environment. In a KSA, sporulation could be a proxy test for aflatoxin accumulation.  相似文献   

Development of colchicine‐induced tetraploid St. Augustinegrass (Stenotaphrum secundatum) lines     

Esdras M. Carbajal  M. Carolina Zuleta  Luellen Swayzer  Brian M. Schwartz  Maria Carolina Chavarro  A. Carolina Ballen‐Taborda  Susana R. Milla‐Lewis 《Plant Breeding》2019,138(6):958-966

St. Augustinegrass is well suited for lawns and commercial landscapes. While many genotypes are cross‐fertile, all cultivars are propagated vegetatively in sod production. To ensure varietal purity, development of sterile triploid hybrids by crossing tetraploid and diploid genotypes has been successfully used in other warm‐season turfgrasses. Applying this model in St. Augustinegrass would be beneficial to sod producers and turf managers who require purity for certification and uniformity for performance, respectively. This study was conducted to develop colchicine‐induced tetraploid lines of St. Augustinegrass. Seeds of cultivar ‘Raleigh’ were treated with four colchicine concentrations at four exposure times. A non‐treated control was included among the treatments. Seedlings that germinated were screened for genome size changes using flow cytometry. Line DSA 13005 and two progeny lines derived through selfing, DSA 16001 and DSA 16016, were corroborated as tetraploids (2n = 4x = 36) through chromosome counts. These lines will be used in future breeding efforts to attempt development of sterile triploid cultivars of St. Augustinegrass.  相似文献

科学分析奶牛养殖区域比较优势,是优化中国奶牛养殖生产布局的前提条件。利用2001-2017年中国乳业数据,通过面板数据模型分析影响中国奶牛养殖生产布局的关键因素,基于比较优势理论、采用资源禀赋系数法,针对关键因素进一步分析中国奶牛养殖区域比较优势,探讨中国奶牛养殖生产布局的优化方向。研究结果表明:中国奶牛养殖生产布局主要受到玉米产量、生产者预期和温度的影响,不同地区在这三个方面具有不同的奶牛养殖比较优势。奶牛养殖优势区域主要集中在华北产区和西部产区,包括内蒙古、河北、山西、新疆、甘肃和宁夏;非优势区域主要集中在南方产区,包括上海、江苏、浙江、福建、湖北、湖南、广东、四川、安徽、江西和广西;其余省份为较优势区域,主要集中在东北产区和大城市周边产区。因此,从区域发展层面,提出建设优势区域产业带、因地制宜发展较优势区域、引导非优势区域转移和整合区域资源优势等建议;从奶牛养殖生产布局显著性影响因素层面,提出推广种养结合养殖模式、种植替代玉米的饲料作物、引导乳制品消费、改善养殖基础设施等建议。  相似文献

Development of a core set of KASP markers for assaying genetic diversity in Brassica rapa subsp. chinensis Makino     

Peirong Li  Tongbing Su  Huiping Wang  Xiuyun Zhao  Weihong Wang  Yangjun Yu  Deshuang Zhang  Changlong Wen  Shuancang Yu  Fenglan Zhang 《Plant Breeding》2019,138(3):309-324

Single‐nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are rapid, economical and reliable genotyping tools. Non‐heading Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. subsp. chinensis Makino) is now an economically important vegetable crop worldwide. In this study, 1,167 SNPs were evaluated for 7polymorphism among 70 representative non‐heading Chinese cabbage inbred lines using a Kompetitive Allele Specific PCR (KASP) genotyping assay. On the basis of identified polymorphisms and the results of a principal component analysis, we selected 50 core SNPs that were balanced sufficiently to provide adequate information for genetic identification. The core SNPs were used for construction of a neighbour‐joining dendrogram that separated the 70 inbred lines into four main groups and several subgroups corresponding to Caixin, Heiyebaicai, Huangxinwu, Naibaicai, Taitsai, Pak‐choi, and Wutatsai. This categorization was superior to that achieved using a dataset of 479 polymorphic SNPs. To confirm the utility of the core SNP markers in genetic identification, we tested their stability and resolution using 162 commercial hybrid cultivars. The SNPs, which represent a cost‐effective, accurate marker set for germplasm analysis and cultivar identification, are suitable for molecular marker‐assisted breeding in non‐heading Chinese cabbage.  相似文献
