MoSe_(2)/TiO_(2)heterostructure integrated in N-doped carbon nanosheets assembled porous core-shell microspheres for enhanced sodium storage

Engineering the structure and composition of electrode materials is one of the essential means for achieving excellent electrochemical performance.The rational design of Na+host materials is still a massive challenge for sodium ion batteries(SIBs).Herein,MoSe_(2)/TiO_(2)heterostructure is integrated with N-doped carbon nanosheets to assemble into hierarchical flowerlike porous core-shell microspheres(MoSe_(2)/TiO_(2)@N-C),which is firstly reported by room-temperature stirring coupled with vulcanization treatment.The cavity of the core-shell structure could provide enough storage space for Na+and alleviate the volume expansion during charge/discharge processes.The apertures between nanosheets provide a guarantee for the rapid penetration of electrolyte to enhance the utilization rate of electrode materials.Furthermore,building heterostructures by combining different phase structures can facilitate electron transfer and accelerate reaction kinetics.Benefiting from the synergistic contributions of structure and composition,MoSe_(2)/TiO_(2)@N-C as SIBs anode material shows better reversible capacities of 302.5 mAh·g^(-1)at 1 A·g^(-1)for 400 cycles and 217.4 mAh·g^(-1)at 4 A·g^(-1)for 900 cycles.Strikingly,the reversible capacities can be restored entirely to the initial level after a high current density cycle.

RLINl,encoding a putative coproporphyrinogen Ⅲ oxidase,is involved in lesion initiation in rice

Lesion mimic is necrotic lesions on plant leaf or stem in the absence of pathogenic infection,and its exact biological mechanism is varied.By a large-scale screening of our T-DNA mutant population,we identified a mutant rice lesion initiation 1(rlin1),which was controlled by a single nuclear recessive gene.Map-based cloning revealed that RLIN1 encoded a putative coproporphyrinogen Ⅲ oxidase in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway.Sequencing results showed that a G to T substitution occurred in the second exon of RLIN1 and led to a missense mutation from Asp to Tyr.Ectopic expression of RLIN1 could rescue rlin1 lesion mimic phenotype.Histochemical analysis demonstrated that lesion formation in rlin1 was light-dependent accompanied by reactive oxygen species accumulated.These results suggest that tetrapyrrole participates in lesion formation in rice.

Molecular analysis of rice plants harboring a multi-functional T-DNA tagging system

About 25,000 rice T-DNA insertional mutant lines were generated using the vector pCAS04 which has both promoter-trapping and activation-tagging function. Southern blot analysis revealed that about 40% of these mutants were single copy integration and the average T-DNA insertion number was 2.28. By extensive phenotyping in the field, quite a number of agronomically important mutants were obtained. Histochemical GUS assay with 4,310 primary mutants revealed that the GUS-staining frequency was higher than that of the previous reports in various tissues and especially high in flowers. The T-DNA flanking sequences of some mutants were isolated and the T-DNA insertion sites were mapped to the rice genome. The flanking sequence analysis demonstrated the different integration pattern of the right border and left border into rice genome. Compared with Arabidopsis and poplar, it is much varied in the T-DNA border junctions in rice.

DEAP1 encodes a fasciclin-like arabinogalactan protein required for male fertility in rice

Arabinogalactan proteins(AGPs)are widely distributed in plant cells.Fasciclin-like AGPs(FLAs)belong to a subclass of AGPs that play important roles in plant growth and development.However,little is known about the biological functions of rice FLA.Herein,we report the identification of a male-sterile mutant of DEFECTIVE EXINE AND APERTURE PATTERNING1(DEAP1)in rice.The deap1 mutant anthers produced aberrant pollen grains with defective exine formation and a flattened aperture annulus and exhibited slightly delayed tapetum degradation.DEAP1 encodes a plasma membrane-associated member of groupⅢplant FLAs and is specifically and temporally expressed in reproductive cells and the tapetum layer during male development.Gene expression studies revealed reduced transcript accumulation of genes related to exine formation,aperture patterning,and tapetum development in deap1 mutants.Moreover,DEAP1 may interact with two rice D6 PROTEIN KINASE-LIKE3 s(OsD6PKL3s),homologs of a known Arabidopsis aperture protein,to affect rice pollen aperture development.Our findings suggested that DEAP1 is involved in male reproductive development and may affect exine formation and aperture patterning,thereby providing new insights into the molecular functions of plant FLAs in male fertility.

Heterostructure of 2D MoSe_(2) nanosheets vertically grown on bowllike carbon for high-performance sodium storage

Transition metal dichalcogenides are attractive anode materials for sodium ion batteries(SIBs)due to their high theoretical capacity and large interlayer spacing.However,its practical application is hampered by the sluggish kinetics of Na^(+)insertion and structure collapse caused by Na^(+)insertion/deinsertion.Herein,the heterostructures of MoSe_(2) nanosheets vertically growing on bowl-like carbon(MoSe_(2)@C)are designed and prepared by a template method coupled with selenization treatment to boost storage sodium performance.The hollow and collapse could provide enough storage space for Na^(+)and alleviate the volume expansion during the charge/discharge processes.MoSe_(2) nanosheets vertically grown on carbon could expose more active sites for adsorbing Na^(+)to enhance the utilization rate of electrode materials.Moreover,building heterostructures by combining different phase components could facilitate Na^(+)diffusion and advance reaction kinetics.Benefiting from these merits,the bowl-like MoSe_(2)@C shows outstanding reversible capacity(356.8 mAh·g^(-1) after 1500 cycles at 1 A·g^(-1))and remarkable rate performance(249.9 mAh·g^(-1)10 A·g^(-1)).
