Genetic analysis showed that this phenotype was controlled by one single recessive gene, which was mapped within a physical distance of 386 kb between two insertion-deletion （InDel） markers CI-WT2 and C1-WT4 on the long arm of chromosome 1. There is a known gene DIO within this region, the mutation of which causes high-tillering in rice. Sequence analysis of the DIO allele in gsor23 revealed that the base cytosine （C） at the 404th position in the coding region was deleted, which would cause frameshift mutation after the 134th amino acids. The mutation site and indica background of gsor23 were different from the previously reported japonica mutants d10-1 and d10-2. Therefore, gsor23 is a novel allelic mutant of D10 which encodes the carotenoid-cleaving dioxygenase 8 （CCD8）, a key enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the new plant hormone strigolactones （SLs）. After treatment with GR24, a synthetic analogue of SLs, the high-tillering phenotype of gsor23 was restored to normal. Real-time RT-PCR analysis showed that D10 expression was high in roots, but low in leaves. Compared with the wild type Indica9, the expression of the SL biosynthesis gene DIO was upregulated, while genes likely involved in the SL signal transduction pathway such as D3 and D14 were down-regulated in the gsor23 mutant.展开更多

In the p...The lack of a suitable rootstock to control scion growth has limited the development of high-density plantations in pear production, which is partly attributed to poor understanding of the dwarfing mechanism. In the present study, the rootstock of the dwarf-type pear (Pyrus betulaefolia)PY-9’ was identified and used as the material for anatomical analysis.PY-9’ grew to half the tree height of the normal cultivar Zhengdu’, along with fewer internodes and shorter length. Significant differences in growth rate betweenPY-9’ andZhengdu’ were detected at approximately 30 days after full bloom, which corresponded with the time of the greatest difference in water potential between the dwarf and normal cultivar.PY-9’ showed a higher photosynthetic rate thanZhengdu’. Anatomical analysis showed thatPY-9’ had higher area ratios of both phloem and xylem and more developed vascular tissues thanZhengdu’. The three-dimensional reconstructed skeleton of the xylem from X-ray computed tomography scanning revealed greater intervessel connectivity inZhengdu’ than inPY-9’, which could contribute to the more vigorous growth ofZhengdu’. This study thus provides the first comparison of the microstructural properties of xylem elements between a dwarfing-type and vigorous-type pear rootstock, providing new insights into the dwarfing mechanism in pear and facilitating breeding of dwarf pear rootstocks to increase crop productivity.展开更多

TDGs are observed to have higher metallicities than normal dwarfs. J2306 has an unusual combination of a blue g-r color of 0.23 mag, irregular optical morphology and high-metallicity(12 +log(O/H) = 8.68 ± 0.14), making it an interesting galaxy to study in more detail. We find J2306 to be an H I rich galaxy with a large extended, unperturbed rotating H I disk. Using our H I data we estimated its dynamical mass and found the galaxy to be dark matter(DM) dominated within its H I radius. The quantity of DM, inferred from its dynamical mass, appears to rule out J2306 as an evolved TDG. A wide area environment search reveals J2306 to be isolated from any larger galaxies which could have been the source of its high gas metallicity. Additionally, the H I morphology and kinematics of the galaxy show no indication of a recent merger to explain the high-metallicity.Further detailed optical spectroscopic observations of J2306 might provide an answer to how a seemingly ordinary irregular dwarf galaxy achieved such a high level of metal enrichment.展开更多

文摘Cognitive radio wireless sensor networks(CRWSN)can be defined as a promising technology for developing bandwidth-limited applications.CRWSN is widely utilized by future Internet of Things(IoT)applications.Since a promising technology,Cognitive Radio(CR)can be modelled to alleviate the spectrum scarcity issue.Generally,CRWSN has cognitive radioenabled sensor nodes(SNs),which are energy limited.Hierarchical clusterrelated techniques for overall network management can be suitable for the scalability and stability of the network.This paper focuses on designing the Modified Dwarf Mongoose Optimization Enabled Energy Aware Clustering(MDMO-EAC)Scheme for CRWSN.The MDMO-EAC technique mainly intends to group the nodes into clusters in the CRWSN.Besides,theMDMOEAC algorithm is based on the dwarf mongoose optimization(DMO)algorithm design with oppositional-based learning(OBL)concept for the clustering process,showing the novelty of the work.In addition,the presented MDMO-EAC algorithm computed a multi-objective function for improved network efficiency.The presented model is validated using a comprehensive range of experiments,and the outcomes were scrutinized in varying measures.The comparison study stated the improvements of the MDMO-EAC method over other recent approaches.

文摘The binary systems consisting of a Be star and a white dwarf(Be WDs) are very interesting.They can originate from the binaries composed of a Be star and a subdwarf O or B star(Besd OBs),and they can merge into red giants via luminous red nova or can evolve into double WD potentially detected by the LISA mission.Using the method of population synthesis,we investigate the formation and the destiny of Be WDs,and discuss the effects of the metallicity(Z) and the common envelope evolution parameters.We find that Besd OBs are significant progenitors of Be WDs.About 30%(Z = 0.0001)-50%(Z = 0.02) of Be WDs come from Besd OBs.About 60%(Z = 0.0001)-70%(Z = 0.02) of Be WDs turn into red giants via a merger between a WD and a non-degenerated star.About 30%(Z = 0.0001)-40%(Z = 0.02) of Be WDs evolve into double WDs which are potential gravitational waves of the LISA mission at a frequency band between about 3 × 10^(-3)and 3 × 10^(-2)Hz.The common envelope evolution parameter introduces an uncertainty with a factor of about 1.3 on Be WD populations in our simulations.
文摘针对电池储能系统(battery energy storage system,BESS)进行光伏波动平抑时寿命损耗高及荷电状态(state of charge,SOC)一致性差的问题,提出了光伏波动平抑下改进K-means的BESS动态分组控制策略。首先,采用最小最大调度方法获取光伏并网指令。其次,设计了改进侏儒猫鼬优化算法(improved dwarf mongoose optimizer,IDMO),并利用它对传统K-means聚类算法进行改进,加快了聚类速度。接着,制定了电池单元动态分组原则,并根据电池单元SOC利用改进K-means将其分为3个电池组。然后,设计了基于充放电函数的电池单元SOC一致性功率分配方法,并据此提出BESS双层功率分配策略,上层确定电池组充放电顺序及指令,下层计算电池单元充放电指令。对所提策略进行仿真验证,结果表明,所设计的IDMO具有更高的寻优精度及更快的寻优速度。所提BESS平抑光伏波动策略在有效平抑波动的同时,降低了BESS运行寿命损耗并提高了电池单元SOC的均衡性。
