Abstract： Why do leaders in practice do not respond to the ethical components of business situations? How do subordinates react to this kind of leadership style? Drawing on the individual-situation interactionist perspective, and based on the situational strength theory, this study explores the antecedents and generation mechanism of amoral management. In addition, based on the social information processing theory and instrumental-ethical cognition framework, this study explores the double-edged effects of amoral management on individual and team’s work performance, as well as identifies the situational conditions of amoral management from the perspectives of high-performance expectation and perceived leader bottom-line mentality. This study provides theoretical contributions and practical implications regarding amoral management as an important yet understudied ethics-based leadership style.

Abstract： Water content is a key factor influencing the seed cryopreservation, but its effecting mechanism is not fully understood. In order to provide theoretical basis for further improving the seeds viability after cryopreservation, the effect and way of water content on the viability of seed cryopreservation were explored. Malus � robusta seeds with different water contents were obtained by silica gel. The seed viability, sugar content and related enzyme indexes before and after cryopreservation were measured and correlation analysis were done. The results were as follows: (1) After 15 days of cryopreservation, the viability of seeds with different water contents was different, and the viability of seeds showed a trend of increasing and then decreasing as the water content of seeds decreased, and the seeds with 9.02% water content had the highest germination rate, at 53.33%. But after 120 days of cryopreservation, the viability of seeds increased as the water content decreased, and the seeds with 6.40%water content got the highest germination rate, at 27.78%. This indicates that the water content of Malus � robusta seeds has a significant effect on the viability after cryopreservation. It is affected by the storage time in liquid nitrogen, and the optimum water content decreases as the storage time extended in liquid nitrogen. (2) Correlation analysis showed that water content was significantly negatively correlated with viability, both water content and viability were correlated with sucrose and fructose content, acid invertase was correlated with water content, viability, sucrose and fructose, and fructokinase was correlated with viability, suggesting that water content affects the content of sucrose and fructose through effecting the activity of acid converting enzymes, which in turn affects sucrose metabolism to respond to low temperature and dehydration stress, ultimately leading to differences in viability. The seed viability is also affected by fructose metabolism through fructose kinase. Besides, alginate is one of the important regulatory substances of Malus � robusta seeds in response to water and low temperature stresses. In summary, water content has a significant effect on the viability of Malus � robusta seeds cryopreservation through the combined effect of sucrose and fructose metabolism. This study provides a theoretical reference to further explore the cryopreservation mechanism of seed.

Abstract： Prior research has highlighted the obstructive rather than motive role of cross-cultural stressors in expatriate success. The present research attempts to explore the reasons why Chinese multinational companies (MNCs) succeed or fail in international assignments. Based on the stress-motivation-behavior- outcome framework, this research focuses on the antecedents and outcomes of proactive behaviors of expatriates. To be specific, by drawing on self-determination theory and job demand-resource (control) model, our research links challenge-hindrance stressors to proactive behaviors of expatriates. Further, the research examines the motivation mechanisms of how these two different types of stressors influence proactive behaviors, and identifies the boundary conditions of these mechanisms from the perspectives of organization and job resources. In addition, our research also explores the impacts of proactive behaviors on multi-level expatriate outcomes as well as identifies the boundary conditions for such impacts. Our work underscores the strategic value of proactive behaviors in the uncertain and complex cross-cultural context, and entails significant practical implications for MNCs to select, train, motivate, and retain internationalized talents.

Abstract： The acts of pro-customer deviance (PCD), which occurs in the service encounters where employees consciously deviate from the formal regulations of enterprises to help customers or safeguard the interests of customers have been widely observed. However, barely no divergent results were found on the impact of PCD on the customer's response. Therefore, utilizing the Stimulus-Organism-Response paradigm and taking dual moral attributes of PCD (e.g., altruistic motivation, deviation from the norms of organization) as the logical origin, this study develops a model examining the relationship among PCD, customer moral emotions and re-patronage intention. Specifically, according to the Cognitive Appraisal Theory, this study explores customers' moral cognitive evaluation of PCD as well as their complex moral emotional response to PCD. Moreover, based on the Differential Emotions Theory, this study examines the interaction effect among different types of moral emotions, the mediating effect of moral emotions on the relationship between PCD and re-patronage intention, and the moderating effect of customer's attribution of responsibility and service context on the PCD-moral emotions-re-patronage intention linkage. The present study not only provides new theoretical insights into PCD and moral emotions, but also offers valuable practical implications for service enterprises to take advantage of the positive effect of PCD.

Abstract：以‘贵长’猕猴桃叶片为外植体，直接脱分化产生不定芽，并对不定芽增殖以及生根体系进行优化，建立了其高效直接再生体系。结果表明，叶片在MS+4.0 mg/L #31;6-BA+0.4 mg/L NAA培养基中，不定芽诱导率达95.8 %，平均出芽数达15.7个/叶片；不定芽在MS+3.0 mg/L 6-BA+0.3 mg/L NAA+0.2 mg/L GA3培养基中，增殖率达100 %，且1～6代平均繁殖系数达8.15；不定芽先在添加1.0 mg/L IBA的1/2 MS固体培养基中诱导7 d，然后再先后在1/2 MS固体培养基和充分吸附1/2 MS培养液的珍珠岩中各培养14 d，生根率达98.61 %，且根系发育良好；50株试管苗移栽到以珍珠岩和田间土壤（其体积比为1:4）为基质的营养钵中，2周后成活49株，成活率达98 %。该研究成功建立了‘贵长’猕猴桃叶片高效再生体系，该方法不定芽诱导周期短，出芽率高且数目多，不定芽增殖系数大，生根率高且试管苗根系发达，为‘贵长’猕猴桃离体快速繁殖和遗传转化奠定了基础。

Abstract： Objective To investigate the effect of miR-101 on biological behaviors of colorectal cancer cell line SW620. Methods CCK-8 method, colony formation assay, cell cycle analysis and apoptosis analysis were applied to assess the effects of miR-101 on cell proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of SW620 cells. Results Over-expression of miR-101 in SW620 cells significantly suppressed the cell proliferation and attenuated the colony-forming ability of the cells. Flow cytometry showed that over-expression of miR-101 in SW620 cells caused obvious cell cycle arrest in G2/M and G1 phases, and significantly increased the cell apoptosis rate. Conclusion Over-expression of miR-101 can inhibit the proliferation, cause cell cycle arrest and promote apoptosis of colorectal cancer SW620 cells.
