Development of a single transcript CRISPR/Cas9 toolkit for efficient genome editing in autotetraploid alfalfa

Alfalfa(Medicago sativa.L.)is a globally significant autotetraploid legume forage crop.However,despite its importance,establishing efficient gene editing systems for cultivated alfalfa remains a formidable challenge.In this study,we pioneered the development of a highly effective ultrasonic-assisted leaf disc transformation system for Gongnong 1 alfalfa,a variety widely cultivated in Northeast China.Subsequently,we created a single transcript CRISPR/Cas9(CRISPR_2.0)toolkit,incorporating multiplex gRNAs,designed for gene editing in Gongnong 1.Both Cas9 and gRNA scaffolds were under the control of the Arabidopsis ubiquitin-10 promoter,a widely employed polymeraseⅡconstitutive promoter known for strong transgene expression in dicots.To assess the toolkit’s efficiency,we targeted PALM1,a gene associated with a recognizable multifoliate phenotype.Utilizing the CRISPR_2.0 toolkit,we directed PALM1 editing at two sites in the wild-type Gongnong 1.Results indicated a 35.1%occurrence of editing events all in target 2 alleles,while no mutations were detected at target 1 in the transgenic-positive lines.To explore more efficient sgRNAs,we developed a rapid,reliable screening system based on Agrobacterium rhizogenes-mediated hairy root transformation,incorporating the visible reporter MtLAP1.This screening system demonstrated that most purple visible hairy roots underwent gene editing.Notably,sgRNA3,with an 83.0%editing efficiency,was selected using the visible hairy root system.As anticipated,tetra-allelic homozygous palm1 mutations exhibited a clear multifoliate phenotype.These palm1 lines demonstrated an average crude protein yield increase of 21.5%compared to trifoliolate alfalfa.Our findings highlight the modified CRISPR_2.0 system as a highly efficient and robust gene editing tool for autotetraploid alfalfa.

Research on process modeling and simulation of spent lead paste desulfurization enhanced reactor

In the reaction process of carbonate desulfurization lead paste,the produced PbCO_(3) is easily wrapped in the outer periphery of PbSO_(4) to form a product layer,hindering the mass transfer process.Therefore,it is necessary to break the PbCO_(3) product layer.In this work,the rotor stator-reinforced reactor was selected as the enhanced desulfurization reactor for the purpose of breaking the PbCO_(3) product layer and promoting mass transfer.The breakage process of the PbCO_(3) product layer generated during the PbSO_(4) desulfurization was modeled.Computational fluid dynamics simulation to the rotation conditions was carried out to theoretically analyze the fluid flow characteristics of PbSO_(4) slurry and the wall shear stress affecting the breakage of PbCO_(3) product layer.By optimizing the rotation conditions,the distribution ratio of effective rotor wall shear stress range achieved 96.1%,and the stator wall shear stress range reached 99.15%under a rotation of 2000 r·min^(-1).The research work provides a reference for analysis of the mechanism of product layer breakage in the PbSO_(4) desulfurization process,and gives a clear and intuitive systematic study on the fluid flow characteristics and wall shear stress of the desulfurization reactor.

3D forward modeling and response characteristics of low-resistivity overburden of the CFS-PML absorbing boundary for ground-well transient electromagnetic method

This study used the stable and convergent Dufort-Frankel method to differentially discretize the diffusion equation of the ground-well transient electromagnetic secondary field.The absorption boundary condition of complex frequency-shifted perfectly matched layer(CFS-PML)was used for truncation so that the low-frequency electromagnetic wave can be better absorbed at the model boundary.A typical three-dimensional(3D)homogeneous half-space model was established and a low-resistivity cube model was analyzed under the half-space condition.The response patterns and drivers of the low-resistivity cube model were discussed under the influence of a low-resistivity overburden.The absorption boundary conditions of CFS-PML significantly affected the low-frequency electromagnetic waves.For a low-resistivity cube around the borehole,its response curve exhibited a single-peak,and the extreme point of the curve corresponded to the center of the low-resistivity body.When the low-resistivity cube was directly below the borehole,the response curve showed three extreme values(two high and one low),with the low corresponding to the center of the low-resistivity body.The total field response of the low-resistivity overburden was stronger than that of the uniform half-space model due to the low-resistivity shielding effect of electromagnetic waves.When the receiving-transmitting distance gradually increased,the effect of the low-resistivity overburden was gradually weakened,and the response of the low-resistivity cube was strengthened.It was affected by the ratio of the overburden resistivity to the resistivity of the low-resistivity body.

Development of 3D top coal caving angle model for fully mechanized extra-thick coal seam mining

During high-intensity,fully mechanized mining of extra-thick coal seam,the top coal would cave to a certain 3D form.Based on the data collected during drilling,a 3D model of top coal caving surface space was established to determine the relationship between the location of the stope roof and the caving surface,enabling the mathematical computation of the top caving angle(φ).The drilling method was employed to measure the top caving angle on two extra-thick fully mechanized coal caving faces under the conditions of three geological structures,namely,no geological structure,igneous rock structure,and fault structure.The results show that the value of top caving angle could be accurately estimated on-site with the 9-parameter 3D top coal caving surface model built with the drilling method.This method is a novel on-site measurement that can be easily applied.Our findings reveal that the characteristics of the coal-rock in the two mining faces are different;yet their caving angles follow the ruleφ_(igneous rock structure)<φ_(no geological structure)<φ_(fault structure).Finally,through the data fitting with two indexes(the top coal uniaxial compressive strength and the top caving angle),it is found that the relationship between the two indexes satisfies an exponential decay function.

Effects of fruit thinning on ascorbate–glutathione cycle metabolism in black currants(Ribes nigrum L.)

To elucidate mechanisms regulating ascorbic acid (AsA) biosynthesis and accumulation in the fruit and leaves of black currants, AsA and the activities of key enzymes in the ascorbate-glutathione (AsA-GSH) cycle were measured from fruit set to fruit ripening during fruit thinning treatments of three common commercial black currant cultivars that differed in their AsA levels: 'Risager' (low), 'Brodtrop' (medium) and 'Adelinia' (high). Treatments were 50% fruit reduction (50% of total fruit set) by hand, control was no thinning. Fruit thinning treatment significantly increased AsA content in fruit of all three cultivars from weeks 2 to 8, significantly decreased AsA content in leaves from weeks 3 to 8. Dehydroascorbate reductase and monodehydroascorbate reductase activities in fruit and leaves had a similar pattern, increasing during week 2, rose until they peaked in week 4. Ascorbate peroxidase activity in fruit in the thinning treatment was slightly lower than in the control. Fruit thinning was shown to be a good model to test AsA biosynthesis regulation and accumulation in black currants. The results from our study provided strong evidence that AsA-GSH cycle involved in AsA synthesis and accumulation in fruit.

Milling Parameters Optimization of Al-Li Alloy Thin-Wall Workpieces Using Response Surface Methodology and Particle Swarm Optimization

To improve the milling surface quality of the Al-Li alloy thin-wall workpieces and reduce the cutting energy consumption.Experimental research on the milling processing of AA2195 Al-Li alloy thin-wall workpieces based on Response Surface Methodology was carried out.The single factor and interaction of milling parameters on surface roughness and specific cutting energy were analyzed,and the multi-objective optimization model was constructed.The Multiobjective Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm introducing the Chaos Local Search algorithm and the adaptive inertial weight was applied to determine the optimal combination of milling parameters.It was observed that surface roughness was mainly influenced by feed per tooth,and specific cutting energy was negatively correlated with feed per tooth,radial cutting depth and axial cutting depth,while cutting speed has a non-significant influence on specific cutting energy.The optimal combination of milling parameters with different priorities was obtained.The experimental results showed that the maximum relative error of measured and predicted values was 8.05%,and the model had high reliability,which ensured the low surface roughness and cutting energy consumption.It was of great guiding significance for the success of Al-Li alloy thin-wall milling with a high precision and energy efficiency.

Loop Closure Detection of Visual SLAM Based on Point and Line Features

For traditional loop closure detection algorithm,only using the vectorization of point features to build visual dictionary is likely to cause perceptual ambiguity.In addition,when scene lacks texture information,the number of point features extracted from it will be small and cannot describe the image effectively.Therefore,this paper proposes a loop closure detection algorithm which combines point and line features.To better recognize scenes with hybrid features,the building process of traditional dictionary tree is improved in the paper.The features with different flag bits were clustered separately to construct a mixed dictionary tree and word vectors that can represent the hybrid features,which can better describe structure and texture information of scene.To ensure that the similarity score between images is more reasonable,different similarity coefficients were set in different scenes,and the candidate frame with the highest similarity score was selected as the candidate closed loop.Experiments show that the point line comprehensive feature was superior to the single feature in the structured scene and the strong texture scene,the recall rate of the proposed algorithm was higher than the state of the art methods when the accuracy is 100%,and the algorithm can be applied to more diverse environments.

Intra-articular injection of xanthan gum: A potential therapy for osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) means inflammation of the joints, with the symptoms of joint pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joints. It is a degenerative disease that appears to be caused by both biomechanical and bio-chemical factors. Intra-articular (IA) injection treatment is one of the main treatment methods for OA because of its positive effect in reducing joint pain and increasing joint mobility. IA injection of xanthan gum (XG) could protect the joint cartilage, relieve the synovitis and reduce the OA progression in experiment OA. The injection of XG may have a long-lasting effect in the joint cavity, which could avoid frequent IA injections. However, for the development of this potential therapy, further studies such as the effective long-term pain relief properties, the detailed action mechanism and the pharmacokinetics of the XG injection will be conducted. This article briefly reviewed the preparation, safety evaluation, pharmacodynamics and possible action mechanism of XG injection, and come up with the ideas for further development of this potential therapy for OA.

基于联硼结构的新型剪切增稠超分子材料

剪切增稠型聚硼硅氧烷(PBS)通常以“silly putty”,“bouncing putty”或“solid-liquid”被熟知.因其独特的抗冲击性能,PBS广泛应用于防护装甲、运动器材、玩具等领域.然而,自第二次世界大战PBS被发明后,PBS材料的更新升级较少.本论文中,我们通过设计联硼/氧配位键制备了一类新型剪切增稠材料——聚联硼硅氧烷(PDBS).结果表明,与单硼/氧配位键相比,联硼/氧配位键具有更多的配位结构和更高的键能,导致PDBS具有更类固体性的剪切增稠行为.因此,PDBS具有比PBS更优异的抗冲击性能与防护功能,为新一代智能装备、阻尼器和传感器的开发提供了一类高性能防护材料.

Effects of frozen storage on texture,chemical quality indices and sensory properties of crisp Nile tilapia fillets

Crisp Nile tilapia(Oreochromis niloticus)is a kind of valuable fish product with high muscle firmness and crispiness texture.However,with the change of physicochemical in crisp Nile tilapia,the frozen storage parameters and quality would be different comparing to normal Nile tilapia.Thus,the aim of this study was to analyze the changes in texture,chemical quality indices and volatile compounds of Nile tilapia fillets during frozen storage.The remaining storage time of the crisp Nile tilapia fillets could be estimated within 120 days.During frozen storage,fillets resulted in softer started at 90-day,and 36.75%,45.74%,48.81%and 20.37%reduction of hardness,springiness,gumminess and chewiness were observed at 120-day.Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances(TBARS)for frozen samples showed similar with fresh fillets within 60 days,while the TBARS was 1.97 folds higher than fresh one at 120-day.Low-field nuclear magnetic resonance(LF-NMR)indicated that the water loss of Nile tilapia fillets was significant changed at 120-day,which reduced more than 12.5%water out of weight.The volatile compound analysis showed that more free fatty acid will be detected at 120-day comparing to the fresh fillets.The combined results demonstrated that the crisp Nile tilapia fillets had the best quality before 60 days frozen storage then loss of some quality properties in longer freezing.Thus,these results identified the ideal storage strategy for the preservation of crisp Nile tilapia without affecting sensory appeal and commercial value.

A Biomimetic Tooth Replicate That Is Hard,Damage-Tolerant,and Self-Healable

Hard materials typically lack the mechanism of energy dissipation and cannot self-heal.Nature addresses this challenge by creating multiscale interfaces between high-contrast materials,namely minerals and biopolymers.Inspired by the enamel-dentin junction in nature,an enamel-like crown consisting ofβFeOOH nanocolumns is interdigitated with a flexible self-healing layer.The iron oxide top layer has exceptionally high modulus and hardness,which is more resistant to cyclic deformation than the bottom layer.The latter however provides an additional pathway for viscous and plastic energy dissipation and enables self-healing by allowing upward polymer diffusion to seal the damage.Picture-frame crack patterns were observed under large loading conditions using microindentation,which localizes the damage at the indentation site.The bending properties can be optimized by varying the thickness of the bottom layer,and the crack induced by bending can be effectively captured at the interface without any delamination.The biomimetic tooth replicate is highly adhesive to a ceramic surface and shows an obvious inhibition effect against Streptococcus mutans,a significant contributor to tooth decay.Combined with ultralow thermal diffusivity,this has great potential as dental material.Learning from nature,our work thus provides a powerful pathway to broadening the scope of synthetic materials for dental replicates.

Furthermore, they participate in many significantly biological signaling pathway, and contribute to the progress and development of cancer along with other diseases. In this review, we focus on the studies about structure, inhibitors development and biological function of FTO and ALKBH5.

Meteorological conditions of ice accretion based on real-time observation of high voltage transmission line

Meteorological conditions during ice accretion on the 500 kV high voltage transmission lines and test cables are presented, together with a calculation of liquid water content (LWC). The data include meteorological observations and real-time ice accretion on the transmission lines of the central China power grid, from 2008 to 2009 in Hubei Province. Also included are observations of ice thickness, microphysics of fog droplets, and other relevant data from a nearby automated weather station at Enshi radar station, from January to March 2009. Results show that temperature at Zhangen tower #307 was correlated with the temperature at Enshi radar station. The temperature on the surface of the high voltage transmission line was 2-4°C higher than ambient air temperature, although the temperatures were positively correlated. Ice formation temperature was about -2°C and ice shedding temperature was about -2 to -1°C on the high voltage transmission line, both of which were lower than the temperature threshold values on the test cable. Ice thickness was significantly affected by temperature variation when the ice was thin. The calculated LWC was correlated with observed LWC, although the calculated value was greater.

Human leukemia antigen-A0201-restricted epitopes of humanendogenous retrovirus W family envelope(HERV-W env)inducestrong cytotoxic T lymphocyte responses

Human endogenous retrovirus W family(HERV-W) envelope(env) has been reported to be related to several human diseases, including autoimmune disorders, and it could activate innate immunity.However, there are no reports investigating whether human leukemia antigen(HLA)-A~*0201^+restriction is involved in the immune response caused by HERV-W env in neuropsychiatric diseases. In the present study, HERV-W env-derived epitopes presented by HLA-A~*0201 are described with the potential for use in adoptive immunotherapy. Five peptides displaying HLAA~*0201-binding motifs were predicted using SYFEPITHI and BIMAS, and synthesized. A CCK-8 assay showed peptides W, Q and T promoted lymphocyte proliferation. Stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells from HLA-A~*0201^+ donors with each of these peptides induced peptidespecific CD8^+ T cells. High numbers of IFN-γ-secreting T cells were also detectable after several weekly stimulations with W, Q and T. Besides lysis of HERV-W env-loaded target cells, specific apoptosis was also observed. These data demonstrate that human T cells can be sensitized toward HERV-W env peptides(W, Q and T) and, moreover, pose a high killing potential toward HERV-W env-expressing U251 cells. In conclusion, peptides W Q and T, which are HERV-W env antigenic epitopes, have both antigenicity and immunogenicity, and can cause strong T cell immune responses. Our data strengthen the view that HERV-W env should be considered as an autoantigen that can induce autoimmunity in neuropsychiatric diseases, such as multiple sclerosis and schizophrenia. These data might provide an experimental foundation for a HERV-W env peptide vaccine and new insight into the treatment of neuropsychiatric diseases.

Enhanced magnetostrictive properties of lightly Pr-doped Fe83Ga17 alloys

Fe83Ga17Prx alloys,where x=0,0.2,0.4,0.6 and 1.0,were prepared by a non-consumable vacuum arc melting technique under an inert argon gas atmosphere.The crystal structure and surface morphologies of the alloys were studied by X-ray diffraction(XRD) and scanning electron microscopy(SEM),respectively.Local compositional variations were measured by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDXS).The magnetostriction coefficients of the alloys were measured by means of a differential resistive strain sensor.The magnetism of the sample was measured by a vibrating sample magnetometer(VSM).The results show that the parent Fe83Ga17 alloy consists of a single A2 phase of bcc symmetry,whereas the Pr doped Fe83Ga17 alloys are composed of the A2 phase of bcc structure and a small volume fraction of PrGa2 as a secondary phase.Most importantly,with increasing x,the magnetostriction coefficient of the Fe83Ga17Prx alloys first increases reaching a maximum saturation magnetostriction coefficient of192 ppm for x=0.6 at a magnetic field strength of 486 kA/m,then decreased.This maximum represents a 400% increase over the parent alloy with a mere 0.6 at% Pr doping.

Nonmonotone adaptive trust region method based on simple conic model for unconstrained optimization

We propose a nonmonotone adaptive trust region method based on simple conic model for unconstrained optimization. Unlike traditional trust region methods, the subproblem in our method is a simple conic model, where the Hessian of the objective function is approximated by a scalar matrix. The trust region radius is adjusted with a new self-adaptive adjustment strategy which makes use of the information of the previous iteration and current iteration. The new method needs less memory and computational efforts. The global convergence and Q-superlinear convergence of the algorithm are established under the mild conditions. Numerical results on a series of standard test problems are reported to show that the new method is effective and attractive for large scale unconstrained optimization problems.

A design of novel photonic crystal fiber with low and flattened dispersion for supporting 84 orbital angular momentum modes

A dual-guided photonic crystal fiber(PCF) with low and flattened dispersion is designed, which can support a large number of orbital angular momentum(OAM) modes. The properties of the proposed PCF are systematically analyzed through the finite element method. The results show that the proposed PCF can support up to 84 OAM modes with 600 nm bandwidth ranging from 1000 to1600 nm. All values of mode purity are above 91.7%, the isolation parameters are larger than 67 dB and the maximum value up to 145 dB, the lowest confinement loss is only 5×10^(-13) dB·m^(-1).More importantly, the values of dispersion for all modes are less than 40 ps·km-1·nm-1, and the lowest dispersion variation is only 0.7 ps·km^(-1)·nm^(-1). These superior optical properties make the proposed PCF have great advantage in stable transmissions of data and long-distance optical fiber communication system with large capacity.
