Cause Analysis of Crack Formation in HRB400 Screw-Thread Steel

The analysis of the crack on the HRB400 screw-thread steel surface has been carried out by means of metallographic microscope, scanning electron microscope and EDAX. It is shown that the type of inclusions in the crack steel samples is mainly class B oxide, C silicate, and the inclusion size of the majority below 10 μm, and a small number of large inclusions are observed. The content of oxygen in the steel is high, and the carbon segregation is the main reason of the crack formation of HRB400 screw-thread steel. The measures to improve the crack formation of HRB400 screw-thread steel are put forward, which provides a powerful basis for the practical production.

类伸展蛋白OsPEX1对水稻花粉育性的影响

类伸展蛋白(Leucine-Rich Repeats Extensins,LRX)是一类细胞壁嵌合蛋白,其N端包含一个LRR(leucine-rich repeats)结构域,C端含Extensins结构域。研究表明,LRX基因家族在拟南芥(Arabidopsis thaliana)花粉萌发和花粉管生长过程中具有重要作用,而水稻(Oryza sativa L.)LRX基因家族是否在调控花粉发育方面具有保守的生物学功能尚不清楚。本研究首先进行了生物信息学分析,结果显示,水稻LRX基因家族包括8个成员,OsPEX3、OsLRX3、OsLRX5位于水稻第1号染色体;OsLRX1、OsLRX3、OsLRX2、OsPEX1和OsPEX2分别位于第2、第5、第6、第11和第12号染色体,其中OsPEX1基因在花粉中高表达,暗示OsPEX1可能参与了花粉发育调控。为此,本研究采用RNAi技术进一步研究了OsPEX1基因对花粉发育的影响。结果表明,OsPEX1基因的RNAi转基因植株花粉败育,结实率仅为10%-30%。qRT-PCR分析显示,这些RNAi转基因植株OsPEX1基因表达量显著低于野生型,而且其表达量越低花粉育性亦随之降低。上述研究结果表明,水稻OsPEX1基因是水稻花粉发育的重要基因,该基因的克隆和功能分析有助于进一步阐明水稻花粉发育调控的分子遗传学机制。
