To better understand genetic variations among different isolates of <em>M. oryzae</em> in the nature field, we re-sequenced and analyzed the genomes of three field isolates, QJ08-2006, QJ10-10, and QJ10-3001, which showed distinct pathogenicity on Xin-Yin-Zhan, an elite variety in South China. Genome annotation indicated that these three isolates assemblies have similar genome sizes with 38.4 Mb, 38.3 Mb, and 38.4 Mb, respectively. The QJ08-2006 assembly has 2082 contigs with an N50 of 127.4 kb, the QJ10-10 assembly has 2239 contigs with an N50 of 105.13 kb, the QJ10-3001 assembly has 2025 contigs with an N50 of 133.16 kb. A total of 10,432 genes including 1408 putative secreted protein genes were identified from the annotated isolate QJ08-2006 genome, 10,418 genes including 1410 putative secreted protein genes were identified in QJ10-10, and 10,401 genes including 1420 putative secreted protein genes were identified in QJ10-3001. There are as many as 11,076 identical genes in these three isolates and contained only a few unique genes among three isolates, of which 277 unique genes in QJ08-2006 and 264 unique genes in QJ10-10, and 213 unique genes in QJ10-3001. Most of the predicted secreted protein genes had been identified, and the three re-sequenced strains contained 371, 369, and 387 small Indel, respectively. <em>Avr </em>genes were analyzed in several sequenced <em>Magnaporthe</em> strains, the results revealed that <em>Avr-Pi9</em> and <em>Avr-Piz-t </em>were present in all the sequenced isolates. The isolates QJ08-2006 contained <em>AvrPib</em>, QJ10-10, and QJ10-3001 had an insertion of a Pot3 element in the promoter of the <em>AvrPib</em> gene. Our results showed that, the rapid dominancy of virulence mutant isolates via clonal propagation displayed in the field after the release of the elite variety Xin-Yin-Zhan.展开更多

Two sets of rice-Xoo differential hosts, including Chinese system with such five euhivars as IR26, Java14, Nangeng15, Tetep and Jingang 30 and international system with a series of nearisogenic lines (NILs) including IRBB5, IRBB13, IRBB3, IRBB14, IRBB2 and IR24 carrying different known resistance genes,were used to detect pathogenic disintegration for the reaction between host and pathogen with leaf-clippingmethod at the rice booting stage. The results showed the type of the pathogen were divided intosix pathotypes, i.e. , Ⅰ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅸ based on the Chinese differential system, and seven pathogenicraces including RI, R2, R3, R4, R5, R8 and R10 based on the international differential system. The pathogenicity frequency of Xoo pathotypes V and IV and pathogenic races R8 and R5 were 27.40% , 19.30% and 44.67% , 15.34%, which were considered to be the prevailing races in southern China. Pathogenic rates of pathotypes Ⅳ, Ⅴ, Ⅸ and races R8, R5 against 500 varieties derived from southernChina were 96.40% , 95.00% , 50.40% , 62.00% , and 42.60%, respectively. Among which pathotype Ⅸ was the most virulent pathotype. The pathotype Ⅴ became preponderant pathotype and the new pathotype Ⅸ grew up quickly.展开更多

The different donors of eight rice bacterial blight( BB) major resistant( MR) genes,Xa3,Xa4,xa5,Xa7,Xa10,Xa11,Xa14 and Xa23,were inoculated with two Chinese Xoo strains,strain IV and strain V,respectively.

The strain IV was a predominant pathotype in south China,while the strain V was a severe virulentstrain. Two susceptible sterile lines and two susceptible inbred rice were employed to study the effect of geneticbackground on expression of resistance to BB for Xa4,xa5,Xa7 and Xa23. The application value of twodominant resistant genes Xa7 and Xa23 on hybrid rice was also evaluated. The results indicated that the resistance inheritance behaviors of most of the MR genes to the Xoo strains were similar and only a few genes show contradictory reaction in different donors,which suggests that the genetic background would produce an effect on the resistant expression of some R genes. Four resistant donors,IRBB4,IRBB5,IRBB7 and CBB23,were crossed with four susceptible cultivars,WufengA,JitianA,Jingang30 and IR24,respectively,using the resistant donors as male parent. The analysis of F1 populations revealed that the recessive resistance gene xa5 and dominant resistance gene Xa23 conformed to recessive and dominant expression model,respectively,while the other two dominant resistance genes,Xa4 and Xa7,conformed to dominant expression model only in some of F1 populations but not for others. In conclusion,expression of resistance for xa5 and Xa23 was independent of genetic background,while Xa4 and Xa7 show specific behaviors of resistance related to the receptor background. This study also suggests that Xa7 is not suitable for application in hybrid rice,for the F1 generation of its cross with two male sterile lines were highly susceptible,and Xa23( CBB23) had important value in improving BB resistance of hybridrice,as the F1 generations from its cross with 4 susceptible parents,including sterile lines and inbred rice,were all show highly resistant.展开更多

文摘The different donors of eight rice bacterial blight( BB) major resistant( MR) genes,Xa3,Xa4,xa5,Xa7,Xa10,Xa11,Xa14 and Xa23,were inoculated with two Chinese Xoo strains,strain IV and strain V,respectively. The strain IV was a predominant pathotype in south China,while the strain V was a severe virulentstrain. Two susceptible sterile lines and two susceptible inbred rice were employed to study the effect of geneticbackground on expression of resistance to BB for Xa4,xa5,Xa7 and Xa23. The application value of twodominant resistant genes Xa7 and Xa23 on hybrid rice was also evaluated. The results indicated that the resistance inheritance behaviors of most of the MR genes to the Xoo strains were similar and only a few genes show contradictory reaction in different donors,which suggests that the genetic background would produce an effect on the resistant expression of some R genes. Four resistant donors,IRBB4,IRBB5,IRBB7 and CBB23,were crossed with four susceptible cultivars,WufengA,JitianA,Jingang30 and IR24,respectively,using the resistant donors as male parent. The analysis of F1 populations revealed that the recessive resistance gene xa5 and dominant resistance gene Xa23 conformed to recessive and dominant expression model,respectively,while the other two dominant resistance genes,Xa4 and Xa7,conformed to dominant expression model only in some of F1 populations but not for others. In conclusion,expression of resistance for xa5 and Xa23 was independent of genetic background,while Xa4 and Xa7 show specific behaviors of resistance related to the receptor background. This study also suggests that Xa7 is not suitable for application in hybrid rice,for the F1 generation of its cross with two male sterile lines were highly susceptible,and Xa23( CBB23) had important value in improving BB resistance of hybridrice,as the F1 generations from its cross with 4 susceptible parents,including sterile lines and inbred rice,were all show highly resistant.

文摘Neurogenesis decline in hippocampal dentate gyrus(DG)participates in stress-induced depressive-like behaviors,but the underlying mechanism remains poorly understood.Here,we observed low-expression of NOD-like receptor family pyrin domain containing 6(NLRP6)in hippocampus of stress-stimulated mice,being consistent with high corticosterone level.NLRP6 was found to be abundantly expressed in neural stem cells(NSCs)of DG.Both Nlrp6 knockout(Nlrp6^(-/-))and NSCconditional Nlrp6 knockout(Nlrp6CKO)mice were susceptible to stress,being more likely to develop depressive-like behaviors.Interestingly,NLRP6 was required for NSC proliferation in sustaining hippocampal neurogenesis and reinforcing stress resilience during growing up.Nlrp6 deficiency promoted esophageal cancer-related gene 4(ECRG4)expression and caused mitochondrial dysfunction.Corticosterone as a stress factor significantly down-regulated NLRP6 expression,damaged mitochondrial function and suppressed cell proliferation in NSCs,which were blocked by Nlrp6 overexpression.ECRG4 knockdown reversed corticosterone-induced NSC mitochondrial function and cell proliferation disorders.Pioglitazone,a well-known clinical drug,up-regulated NLRP6 expression to inhibit ECRG4 expression in its protection against corticosterone-induced NSC mitochondrial dysfunction and proliferation restriction.In conclusion,this study demonstrates that NLRP6 is essential to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis and proliferation in NSCs,and identifies NLRP6 as a promising therapeutic target for hippocampal neurogenesis decline linked to depression.

文摘We report on a vortex laser chirped-pulse amplification(CPA)system that delivers pulses with a peak power of 45 TW.A focused intensity exceeding 1019 W/cm2 has been demonstrated for the first time by the vortex amplification scheme.Compared with other schemes of strong-field vortex generation with high energy flux but narrowband vortex-converting elements at the end of the laser,an important advantage of our scheme is that we can use a broadband but size-limited q-plate to realize broadband mode-converting in the front end of the CPA system,and achieve high-power amplification with a series of amplifiers.This method is low cost and can be easily implemented in an existing laser system.The results have verified the feasibility to obtain terawatt and even petawatt vortex laser amplification by a CPA system,which has important potential applications in strong-field laser physics,for example,generation of vortex particle beams with orbital angular momentum,fast ignition for inertial confinement fusion and simulation of the extreme astrophysical environment.

文摘In the present study,a series of Ru/ZSM-5 catalysts with different pore-size distributions were prepared and investigated for NH3 synthesis.Our studies indicate that Ru/ZSM-5-Mic with micropore structure exhibits superior NH3 synthesis rate,which is much higher than those of Ru/ZSM-5-Mac(with macroporous structure)and Ru/ZSM-5-Mes(with mesoporous structure)catalysts.A series of TPD experiments demonstrate that pore-size distributions play an important role in N2 adsorption and activation over Ru/ZSM-5.Moreover,the addition of La significantly promotes the NH3 synthesis performance over Ru/ZSM-5-Mic.Additionally,in situ DRIFTS studies indicate that the main intermediate species over Ru/ZSM-5-Mic are-NH2,and most of the surface hydrogen species desorb following the H2O-formation pathway.

文摘Applying an ultrafast vortex laser as the pump,optical parametric amplification can be used for spiral phase-contrast imaging with high gain,wide spatial bandwidth,and high imaging contrast.Our experiments show that this design has realized the 1064 nm spiral phase-contrast idler imaging of biological tissues(frog egg cells and onion epidermis)with a spatial resolution at several microns level and a superior imaging contrast to both the traditional bright-or dark-field imaging under a weak illumination of 7 nW/cm^(2).This work provides a powerful way for biological tissue imaging in the second near-infrared region.

文摘Ammonia(NH_(3))synthesis at mild conditions is of great significance,while the significant bottleneck of this process is the activation of N_(2) to realize the desired NH_(3) synthesis performance,which requires deep insight and rational design of active sites at the atomic level.Here,were synthesized atomically dispersed Co-based catalysts with different Co-N coordination numbers(CNs)to explore the coordination-sensitive NH_(3) synthesis reaction for the first time.Our studies showed that Co-based catalysts increased the NH_(3) synthesis rate gradually with a decrease in CN.The Co-N_(2) catalyst exhibited the highest NH_(3) synthesis rate of 85.3 mmol gCo^(−1) h^(−1) at 300℃ and 1 MPa,which outperformed most of the previously reported Co-based catalysts.Various characterizations and theoretical calculations demonstrated that atomically dispersed Co catalyst with low CN could generate more unoccupied Co 3d charges and tetrahedral cobalt(Ⅱ)sites.The unoccupied Co 3d charge,in turn,promoted the electron donation from the Co active center to the antibonding π-orbital(π*)of N_(2) and expedites N_(2) hydrogenation.Furthermore,the Co-N_(2) catalyst with more tetrahedral cobalt(II)sites could effectively facilitate the desorption of N-containing intermediate species(such as*NH_(3) and*N_(2)H_(4))to obtain a high NH_(3) synthesis rate.

文摘This paper presents a novel design for single-shot terahertz polarization detection based on terahertz time-domain spectroscopy(THz-TDS).Its validity has been confirmed by comparing its detection results with those of the THz common-path spectral interferometer through two separate measurements for the orthogonal components.Our results also show that its detection signal-to-noise ratios(SNRs)are obviously superior to those of the 45°optical bias THz-TDS by electro-optical sampling due to its operation on common-path spectral interference rather than the polarization-sensitive intensity modulation.The setup works without need of any optical scan,which does not only save time,but also efficiently avoids the disturbances from the fluctuations of the system and environment.Its single-shot mode allows it to work well for the applications with poor or no repeatability.

文摘The exploration of material failure behavior not only involves defining its limits and underlying mechanisms but also entails devising strategies for improvement and protection in extreme conditions.We've pioneered an advanced multi-scale,high-speed ascending thermal shock testing platform capable of inducing unprecedented heat shocks at rates surpassing 105℃/s.Through meticulous examination of the thermal shock responses of carbon nanotube(CNT)films,we've achieved remarkable breakthroughs.By employing an innovative macro-scale synchronous tightening and relaxing approach,we've attained a critical temperature differential in CNT films that exceeds an exceptional 2500℃—surpassing any previously reported metric for highperformance,thermal-shock-resistant materials.Notably,these samples have demonstrated exceptional resilience,retaining virtually unchanged strength even after enduring 10,000 thermal shock cycles at temperatures exceeding 1000℃.Furthermore,our research has revealed a novel thermal shock/fatigue failure mechanism that fundamentally diverges from conventional theories centered on thermal stress.
