A Selective‑Response Hypersensitive Bio‑Inspired Strain Sensor Enabled by Hysteresis Effect and Parallel Through‑Slits Structures

Flexible strain sensors are promising in sensing minuscule mechanical signals,and thereby widely used in various advanced fields.However,the effective integration of hypersensitivity and highly selective response into one flexible strain sensor remains a huge challenge.Herein,inspired by the hysteresis strategy of the scorpion slit receptor,a bio-inspired flexible strain sensor(BFSS)with parallel through-slit arrays is designed and fabricated.Specifically,BFSS consists of conductive monolayer graphene and viscoelastic styrene–isoprene–styrene block copolymer.Under the synergistic effect of the bio-inspired slit structures and flexible viscoelastic materials,BFSS can achieve both hypersensitivity and highly selective frequency response.Remarkably,the BFSS exhibits a high gage factor of 657.36,and a precise identification of vibration frequencies at a resolution of 0.2 Hz through undergoing different morphological changes to high-frequency vibration and low-frequency vibration.Moreover,the BFSS possesses a wide frequency detection range(103 Hz)and stable durability(1000 cycles).It can sense and recognize vibration signals with different characteristics,including the frequency,amplitude,and waveform.This work,which turns the hysteresis effect into a"treasure,"can provide new design ideas for sensors for potential applications including human–computer interaction and health monitoring of mechanical equipment.

Exchangeability of Two hrp Gene Fragments from Xanthomonas oryzae pv.oryzae and pv.oryzicola for Hypersensitive Response on Tobacco and Pathogenicity on Rice

hrp mutants were produced from strain JXOIII of Xanthomonas oryzae pv. oryzae (Xoo) and strain RS105 of X.o. pv. oryzicola (Xooc), respectively, by using diethyl sulfate (DES) as a mutagenic che mical. All the hrp mutants lost their pathogenicity on a susceptible host plant, rice (Shanyou63), and elicitation of the hypersensitive response (HR) on a nonhost plant, tobacco (NC89). Extracellular enzyme (amy lase, pectate lyase, proteinase, cellulase and lipase) activities of all the hrp mutants were similar to those of the corresponding wild type strains. The response of tobacco to cell sonicated integrations of the wild type strains and the hrp mutants demonstrated that there existed an HR eliciting substance which was heat stable and sensitive to protease. No HR appeared on tobacco after infiltration of the lipopolysaccharide (LPS) of both the wild strains and hrp mutants into tobacco leaves. The ability of the Xooc hrp mutants to induce HR on tobacco and cause streak disease on rice was restored by complementation with pUHRX245 from JXOIII genomic DNA library and by pUHRS138 from RS105 genomic DNA library, respectively. Subcloning of a 38.6 kb hrp fragment insert in pUHRX245 and a 39.3 kb insert in pUHRS138 revealed that a 3.3 kb Sac Ⅰ fragment from pUHRX245 and a 4.5 kb Bam HⅠ Kpn Ⅰ fragment from pUHRS138 were the minimal functional portions required for restoration of the ability of Xooc hrp mutants to induce HR on tobacco and cause disease on rice. The disease symptom caused by the conjugant (M1005 plus 3.3 kb) on rice was similar to that caused by the wild type of Xooc. It suggests that the two fragments contain the same hrp gene(s) and are responsible reciprocally for HR induction on tobacco and pathogenicity on rice.

OsbZIP53 Negatively Regulates Immunity Response by Involving in Reactive Oxygen Species and Salicylic Acid Metabolism in Rice

The basic region/leucine zipper(bZIP)transcription factors play important roles in plant development and responses to abiotic and biotic stresses.OsbZIP53 regulates resistance to Magnaporthe oryzae in rice by analyzing APIP5-RNAi transgenic plants.To further investigate the biological functions of OsbZIP53,we generated osbzip53 mutants using CRISPR/Cas9 editing and also constructed OsbZIP53 over-expression transgenic plants.Comprehensive analysis of phenotypical,physiological,and transcriptional data showed that knocking-out OsbZIP53 not only improved disease resistance by inducing a hypersensitivity response in plants,but also regulated the immune response through the salicylic acid pathway.Specifically,disrupting OsbZIP53 increased H2O2 accumulation by promoting reactive oxygen species generation through up-regulation of several respiratory burst oxidase homologs(Osrboh genes)and weakened H2O2 degradation by directly targeting OsMYBS1.In addition,the growth of osbzip53 mutants was seriously impaired,while OsbZIP53 over-expression lines displayed a similar phenotype to the wild type,suggesting that OsbZIP53 has a balancing effect on rice immune response and growth.

Alpha-picolinic acid,a fungal toxin and mammal apoptosis-inducing agent,elicits hypersensitive-like response and enhances disease resistance in rice

Alpha-picolinic acid (PA),a metabolite of tryptophan and an inducer of apoptosis in the animal cell,has been reported to be a toxin produced by some of plant fungal pathogens and used in screening for disease resistant mutants. Here,we report that PA is an efficient apoptosis agent triggering cell death of hypersensitive-like response in planta. Confirmed by Fluorescence Activated Cell Sorter (FACS),rice suspension cells and leaves exhibited programmed cell death induced by PA. The PA-induced cell death was associated with the accumulation of reactive oxygen species that could be blocked by diphenylene iodonium chloride,indicating that the generation of reactive oxygen species was NADPHoxidase dependent. We also demonstrated the induction of rice defense-related genes and subsequent resistant enhancement by PA against the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe grisea. Hence,it was concluded that the PA-stimulated defense response likely involves the onset of the hypersensitive response in rice,which also provides a simple eliciting tool for studying apoptosis in the plant cell.

Induction of Hypersensitive Response and Nonhost Resistance by a Cladosporium fulvum Elicitor CfHNNI1 is Dose-Dependent and Negatively Regulated by Salicylic Acid

Nonhost resistance is a phenomenon that enables plants to protect themselves against the majority of potential pathogens, and thus has a great potential for application in plant protection. We recently found that CfHNNI1 (for Cladosporium fulvum host and nonhost plant necrosis inducer 1) is an inducer of plant hypersensitive response (HR) and nonhost resistance. In this study, its functional mechanism was analyzed. CfHNNI1 was a single copy gene in C. fulvum genome. The functional ORF of the CfHNNI1 cDNA was ATG3-TAG780, which showed homology with genes encoding bZIP transcription factors. The functional ORF included in frame an inner one ATG273-TAG780, which was sufficient to induce HR in plants. CfHNNI1 induced plant HR in a dose-dependent manner. CfHNNI1-induced necrosis in NahG transgenic tomato plants was significantly stronger than that in their wild type controls. However, the necrosis in Nr and def1 tomato mutants was similar to that in their corresponding wild type plants. These data demonstrate that induction of HR and nonhost resistance by CfHNNI1 is negatively regulated by salicylic acid signalling pathway but independent of ethylene and jasmonic acid signalling pathways.

Structural and Functional Insights into an Arabidopsis NBS-LRR Receptor in Nicotiana benthamiana

Nucleotide-binding site leucine-rich repeat receptors (NBS-LRR/NLRs) are crucial intracellular immune proteins in plants. Previous article reported a novel NLR protein SUT1 (SUPPRESSORS OF TOPP4-1, 1), which is involved in autoimmunity initiated by type one protein phosphatase 4 mutation (topp4-1) in Arabidopsis, however, its role in planta is still unclear. This study employed Nicotiana benthamiana, a model platform, to conduct an overall structural and functional analysis of SUT1 protein. The transient expression results revealed that SUT1 is a typical CNL (CC-NBS-LRR) receptor, both fluorescence data and biochemical results showed the protein is mainly anchored on the plasma membrane due to its N-terminal acylation site. Further truncation experiments announced that its CC (coiled-coil) domain possessed cell-death-inducing activity. The outcomes of point mutations analysis revealed that not only the CC domain, but also the full-length SUT1 protein, whose function and subcellular localization are influenced by highly conserved hydrophobic residues. These research outcomes provided favorable clues for elucidating the activation mechanism of SUT1.

hrcQ基因决定水稻条斑病菌在非寄主烟草上的过敏性反应和在寄主水稻上的致病性

水稻条斑病菌(Xanthomonas oryzaepv.oryzicola)hrcQ基因在动植物病原细菌中高度保守。不同植物病原细菌的HrcQ蛋白因在N端有变化,推测可能与分泌的效应分子特异性有关。但水稻条斑病菌HrcQ蛋白对Ⅲ型分泌系统(typeⅢsecretion system,T3SS)的形成以及对效应分子的分泌性影响还不清楚。为弄清HrcQ蛋白在此方面的作用,利用同源重组方式获得了水稻条斑病菌hrcQ基因的敲除突变体,该突变体丧失了在烟草上激发过敏性反应的能力和在水稻上的致病性。hrcQ基因与水稻细胞互作时受诱导表达。蛋白质-蛋白质互作结果显示,HrcQ可分别与Hpa1、HrcN、HrpB5和HrpB2互作。分泌性检测发现,HrcQ不通过T3SS分泌至胞外。hrcQ基因突变,影响Hpa1和HrpB2蛋白分泌。这些结果表明,HrcQ蛋白是形成Ⅲ型分泌系统的基本组分,并通过帮助Hpa1和HrpB2等T3SS效应因子的分泌,从而影响病菌在非寄主上的过敏性反应和在水稻上的致病性。这为进一步分析水稻黄单胞菌T3SS的形成和分泌机制奠定了基础。
