RESUMO

Hybrid plants are found extensively in the wild, and they often demonstrate superior performance of complex traits over their parents and other selfing plants. This phenomenon, known as heterosis, has been extensively applied in plant breeding for decades. However, the process of decoding hybrid plant genomes has seriously lagged due to the challenges associated with genome assembly and the lack of appropriate methodologies for their subsequent representation and analysis. Here, we present the assembly and analysis of two hybrids, an intraspecific hybrid between two maize (Zea may ssp. mays) inbred lines and an interspecific hybrid between maize and its wild relative teosinte (Zea may ssp. parviglumis), utilizing a combination of PacBio High Fidelity (HiFi) sequencing and chromatin conformation capture sequencing data. The haplotypic assemblies are well-phased at chromosomal scale, successfully resolving the complex loci with extensive parental structural variations (SVs). By integrating into a bi-parental genome graph, the haplotypic assemblies can facilitate downstream short-reads-based SV calling and allele-specific gene expression analysis, demonstrating outstanding advantages over a single linear genome. Our work offers a comprehensive workflow that aims to facilitate the decoding of numerous hybrid plant genomes, particularly those with unknown or inaccessible parentage, thereby enhancing our understanding of genome evolution and heterosis.

RESUMO

In the landscape of biomolecular detection, surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) confronts notable obstacles, particularly in the label-free detection of biomolecules, with glucose and other sugars presenting a quintessential challenge. This study heralds the development of a pioneering SERS substrate, ingeniously engineered through the self-assembly of nanoparticles of diverse sizes (Ag1@Ag2NPs). This configuration strategically induces 'hot spots' within the interstices of nanoparticles, markedly amplifying the detection signal. Rigorous experimental investigations affirm the platform's rapidity, precision, and reproducibility, and the detection limit of this detection method is calculated to be 6.62 pM. Crucially, this methodology facilitates nondestructive glucose detection in simulated samples, including phosphate-buffered saline and urine. Integrating machine learning algorithms with simulated serum samples, the approach adeptly discriminates between hypoglycemic, normoglycemic, and hyperglycemic states. Moreover, the platform's versatility extends to the detection and differentiation of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and methylated glycosides, underscoring its universality and specificity. Comparative Raman spectroscopic analysis of various carbohydrate structures elucidates the unique SERS characteristics pertinent to these molecules. This research signifies a major advance in nonchemical, label-free glucose determination with enhanced sensitivity via SERS, laying a new foundation for its application in precision medicine and advancing structural analysis in the sugar domain.

RESUMO

Ferroptosis is a pattern of cell death caused by iron-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides and is closely associated with the occurrence and development of multiple diseases. Acrolein (ACR), one of the final metabolites of lipid peroxidation, is a reactive carbonyl species with strong biotoxicity. Effective detection of ACR is important for understanding its role in the progression of ferroptosis and studying the specific mechanisms of ferroptosis-mediated diseases. However, visualization detection of ACR during ferroptosis has not yet been reported. In this work, the first ratiometric fluorescent probe (HBT-SH) based on 2-(2'-hydroxyphenyl) benzothiazole (HBT) was designed for tracing endogenous ACR with an unprecedented regiospecific ACR-induced intramolecular cyclization strategy, which employs 2-aminoethanethiol as an ACR-selective recognition receptor. The experimental results showed that HBT-SH has excellent selectivity, high sensitivity (LOD = 0.26 µM) and good biocompatibility. More importantly, the upregulation of ACR levels was observed during ferroptosis in HeLa cells and zebrafish, indicating that ACR may be a specific active molecule that plays an essential biological role during ferroptosis or may serve as a potential marker of ferroptosis, which has great significance for studying the pathological process and treatment options of ferroptosis-related diseases.

RESUMO

Unraveling bacterial identity through Raman scattering techniques has been persistently challenging due to homogeneously amplified Raman signals across a wide variety of bacterial molecules, predominantly protein- or nucleic acid-mediated. In this study, we present an approach involving the use of silver nanoparticles to completely and uniformly "mask" adsorption on the surface of bacterial molecules through sodium borohydride and sodium chloride. This approach enables the acquisition of enhanced surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) signals from all components on the bacterial surface, facilitating rapid, specific, and label-free bacterial identification. For the first time, we have characterized the identity of a bacterium, including its DNA, metabolites, and cell walls, enabling the accurate differentiation of various bacterial strains, even within the same species. In addition, we embarked on an exploration of the origin and variability patterns of the main characteristic peaks of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Significantly, the SERS peak ratio was found to determine the inflection point of accelerated bacterial death upon treatment with antimicrobials. We further applied this platform to identify 15 unique clinical antibiotic-resistant bacterial strains, including five Escherichia coli strains in human urine, a first for Raman technology. This work has profound implications for prompt and accurate identification of bacteria, particularly antibiotic-resistant strains, thereby significantly enhancing clinical diagnostics and antimicrobial treatment strategies.

RESUMO

Compared to the bulk heterojunction (BHJ) devices, the quasiplanar heterojunction (Q-PHJ) exhibits a more stable morphology and superior charge transfer performance. To achieve both high efficiency and long-term stability, it is necessary to design new materials for Q-PHJ devices. In this study, QxIC-CF3 and QxIC-CH3 are designed and synthesized for the first time. The trifluoromethylation of the central core exerts a modulatory effect on the molecular stacking pattern, leveraging the strong electrostatic potential and intermolecular interactions. Compared with QxIC-CH3, the single crystal structure reveals that QxIC-CF3 exhibits a more compact 2D linear stacking behavior. These benefits, combined with the separated electron and hole transport channels in Q-PHJ device, lead to increased charge mobility and reduced energy loss. The devices based on D18/QxIC-CF3 exhibit an efficiency of 18.1%, which is the highest power conversion efficiency (PCE) for Q-PHJ to date. Additionally, the thermodynamic stability of the active layer morphology enhances the lifespan of the aforementioned devices under illumination conditions. Specifically, the T80 is 420 h, which is nearly twice that of the renowned Y6-based BHJ device (T80 = 220 h). By combining the advantages of the trifluoromethylation and Q-PHJ device, efficient and stable organic solar cell devices can be constructed.

RESUMO

Persistent psychological stress can affect immune homeostasis and is a key factor in the development of depression. Many efforts are focused on the identifcation of pathways that link the immune system and mood disorders. Here, we found that psychological stress caused an increase in the frequency of brain-associated neutrophils and the level of neutrophil-specific antigen CD177 on peripheral neutrophils in male mice. Upregulated levels of blood CD177 are associated with depression in humans. Neutrophil depletion or Cd177 deficiency protected mice from stress-induced behavioral deficits. Importantly, adoptive transfer of CD177+ neutrophils from stressed mice increased the frequency of brain-associated leukocytes, including neutrophils, and caused behavioral defects in naive mice. These effects may be related to the endothelial adhesion advantage of CD177+ neutrophils and the interference of serine protease on endothelial junction. Our findings suggest a critical link between circulating CD177+ neutrophils and psychological stress-driven behavioral disorder.

RESUMO

A CuBr-catalyzed cross-coupling reaction of propargyl bromides with terminal alkynes for the synthesis of 1, n-diynes was investigated. In N,N-dimethylacetamide (DMAc), the cross-coupling reactions of 3-bromo-1-arylpropynes, 3-bromo-1-phenyl-butyne/pentyne with aromatic terminal alkynes in the presence of CuBr and K3PO4 under nitrogen at 40 °C occur to give 1, 5-diaryl-1, 4-diynes having 3-CH2/3-CHMe/3-CHEt/3-CHiPr moieties with high chemoselectivity. Under similar reaction conditions, either the reactions of 3-bromo-1-arylpropynes with aliphatic terminal alkynes or the reactions of 3-bromo-1-alkylpropynes with aromatic terminal alkynes afforded the unexpected unsymmetric 1, 4-disubstituted 1, 3-diynes through one of the alkynyl group shifts to the side conjugating with the aryl group; in these cases, 1, 5-disubstituted 1, 4-diynes could not be obtained at all. In addition, when 3-bromo-1-phenyl-butynes react with aliphatic terminal alkynes bearing a distal phenyl group, the formed 1, 4-diynes are expected not to undergo the alkynyl group shift due to the methyl group at 3-position to form 1, 3-diynes; however, 1, 4-diynes could not be obtained either, and the 1, 5-, 1, 6-, and 1, 7-diynes, by an unprecedented remote alkynyl shift to the side conjugating with the aryl group, were isolated from the reaction mixtures in good yields.

RESUMO

Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) has emerged as an indispensable analytical tool in biomolecular research, providing unmatched sensitivity critical for the elucidation of biomolecular structures. This review presents a thorough examination of SERS, outlining its fundamental principles, cataloging its varied applications within the biomolecular sphere, and contemplating its future developmental trajectories. We begin with a detailed analysis of SERS's mechanistic principles, emphasizing both the phenomena of surface enhancement and the complexities inherent in Raman scattering spectroscopy. Subsequently, we delve into the pivotal role of SERS in the structural analysis of diverse biomolecules, including proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, and biochromes. The remarkable capabilities of SERS extend beyond mere detection, offering profound insights into biomolecular configurations and interactions, thereby enriching our comprehension of intricate biological processes. This review also sheds light on the application of SERS in real-time monitoring of various bio-relevant compounds, from enzymes and coenzymes to metal ion-chelate complexes and cellular organelles, thereby providing a holistic view and empowering researchers to unravel the complexities of biological systems. We also address the current challenges faced by SERS, such as enhancing sensitivity and resolution, developing stable and reproducible substrates, and conducting thorough analyses in complex biological matrices. Nonetheless, the continual advancements in nanotechnology and spectroscopy solidify the standing of SERS as a formidable force in biomolecular research. In conclusion, the versatility and robustness of SERS not only deepen our understanding of biomolecular intricacies but also pave the way for significant developments in medical research, therapeutic innovation, and diagnostic approaches.

RESUMO

The in vitro detection applications of europium complex-doped microspheres mainly rely on strong fluorescence intensity and a well-defined morphology. In this work, using methyl methacrylate-modified polystyrene microspheres has been proven an effective strategy to enhance the fluorescence and morphology of Eu-complexes. The experimental results showed that the modification resulted in the formation of a porous structure within the polystyrene microspheres, enhancing the doping uniformity and facilitating a more significant accumulation of fluorescent molecules. Furthermore, because of their encapsulation ability, microspheres efficiently confine the fluorescent molecules within them. In addition, the nano-scale porous structure endowed the microspheres with enhanced properties without compromising solvent swelling capability, thereby significantly boosting the fluorescence performance of porous PSMMA. In lateral flow immunoassays (LFIAs), PSMMA-Eu microspheres were effectively utilized to detect fentanyl with exceptional sensitivity by capitalizing on these benefits, capable of detecting concentrations as low as 0.10 ng mL-1. This technology has significant potential for rapid point-of-care screening and clinical applications.

RESUMO

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are a subset of T cells participating in a variety of diseases including mycoplasmal pneumonia, contagious ecthyma, and so on. The role of Tregs in goat contagious ecthyma is not completely understood due to the lack of species-specific antibodies. Here, we developed a combination of CD4 and CD25 fluorescence monoclonal antibodies (mAb) to recognize goat Tregs and assessed its utility in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining. Using immunofluorescence staining, we found that the frequency of Treg cells was positively correlated with the viral load during orf virus infection. These antibodies could serve as important tools to monitor Tregs during orf virus infection in goats. KEY POINTS: • A combination of fluorescent mAbs (C11 and D12) was prepared for the detection of goat Tregs. • C11 and D12 are effective in flow cytometry, immunofluorescence staining, and C11 has excellent species specificity. • The frequency of Treg cells was positively correlated with the viral load during orf virus infection.

RESUMO

In recent years, all-inorganic perovskite materials have become an ideal choice for new thin film solar cells due to their excellent photophysical properties and have become a research hotspot. Studying the ultrafast dynamics of photo-generated carriers is of great significance for further improving the performance of such devices. In this work, we focus on the transient dynamic process of CsPbBr3/TiO2 composite systems with different Mn2+ doping contents using femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy technology. We used singular value decomposition and global fitting to analyze the transient absorption spectra and obtained three components, which are classified as hot carrier cooling, charge transfer, and charge recombination processes, respectively. We found that the doping concentration of Mn2+ has an impact on all three processes. We think that the following two factors are responsible: one is the density of defect states and the other is the bandgap width of perovskite. As the concentration of doped Mn2+ increases, the charge transfer time constant shows a trend of initially increasing, followed by a subsequent decrease, reaching a turning point. This indicates that an appropriate amount of Mn2+ doping can effectively improve the photoelectric performance of solar cell systems. We proposed a possible charge transfer mechanism model and further elucidated the microscopic mechanism of the effect of Mn2+ doping on the interface charge transfer process of the CsPbBr3/TiO2 solar cell system.

RESUMO

Based on the principle of laser ablation and elastic vibration effect, a model of continuous nanosecond combined laser removal of rubber marks on a concrete surface was established. The model can explain the evolution of temperature, stress, and removal depth on time and laser energy density during laser cleaning. The results show that the theoretical adsorption force between the rubber layer and the concrete base is approximately 3.88×10-9 N. The continuous laser cleaning threshold is 561.31J/c m 2. In the combined laser, the continuous laser is 534.41J/c m 2, and the nanosecond laser is 0.35J/c m 2. As the delay time between the 2 ns laser beams increases, the maximum peak in the temperature curve gradually decreases. The optimal cleaning delay was obtained as Δ t=0.65S. The peak temperature at the characteristic position (0 µm, 0 µm) is 592.13 K, which is lower than the vaporization temperature of the rubber layer. The thermal stress values generated at this characteristic position exceed the adsorption stress values, indicating that the elastic removal mechanism is the main removal mechanism at the junction between the rubber layer and the concrete substrate.

RESUMO

The family Sisoridae is one of the largest and most diverse Asiatic catfish families, with most species occurring in the water systems of the Qinhai-Tibetan Plateau and East Himalayas. At present, the phylogenetic relationship of the Sisoridae is relatively chaotic. In this study, the mitochondrial genomes (mitogenomes) of three species Creteuchiloglanis kamengensis, Glaridoglanis andersonii, and Exostoma sp. were systematically investigated, the phylogenetic relationships of the family were reconstructed and to determine the phylogenetic position of Exostoma sp. within Sisoridae. The lengths of the mitogenomes' sequences of C. kamengensis, G. andersonii, and Exostoma sp. were 16,589 bp, 16,531 bp, and 16,529 bp, respectively. They all contained one identical control region (D-loop), two ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs), 13 protein-coding genes (PCGs) and 22 transfer RNA (tRNA) genes. We applied two approaches, Bayesian Inference (BI) and Maximum Likelihood (ML), to construct phylogenetic trees. Our findings revealed that the topological structure of both ML and BI trees exhibited significant congruence. Specifically, the phylogenetic tree strongly supports the monophyly of Sisorinae and Glyptosternoids and provides new molecular biological data to support the reconstruction of phylogenetic relationships with Sisoridae. This study is of great scientific value for phylogenetic and genetic variation studies of the Sisoridae.

RESUMO

Fusarium asiaticum is a destructive phytopathogenic fungus that causes Fusarium head blight of wheat (FHB), leading to serious yield and economic losses to cereal crops worldwide. Our previous studies indicated that target-site mutations (K216R/E, S217P/L, or E420K/G/D) of Type I myosin FaMyo5 conferred high resistance to phenamacril. Here, we first constructed one sensitive strain H1S and three point mutation resistant strains HA, HC and H1R. Then we conducted comparative transcriptome analysis of these F. asiaticum strains after 1 and 10 µg·mL-1 phenamacril treatment. Results indicated that 2135 genes were differentially expressed (DEGs) among the sensitive and resistant strains. The DEGs encoding ammonium transporter MEP1/MEP2, nitrate reductase, copper amine oxidase 1, 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, amino-acid permease inda1, succinate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid decarboxylase, etc., were significantly up-regulated in all the phenamacril-resistant strains. Compared to the control group, a total of 1778 and 2097 DEGs were identified in these strains after 1 and 10 µg·mL-1 phenamacril treatment, respectively. These DEGs involved in 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, chitin synthase 1, multiprotein-bridging factor 1, transcriptional regulatory protein pro-1, amino-acid permease inda1, ATP-dependent RNA helicase DED1, acetyl-coenzyme A synthetase, sarcoplasmic/endoplasmic reticulum calcium ATPase 2, etc., showed significantly down-regulated expression in phenamacril-sensitive strain but not in resistant strains after phenamacril treatment. In addition, cyanide hydratase, mating-type protein MAT-1, putative purine nucleoside permease, plasma membrane protein yro2, etc., showed significantly co-down-regulated expression in all the strains after phenamacril treatment. Taken together, This study provides deep insights into the resistance regulation mechanism and the inhibitory effect of fungicide phenamacril and these new annotated proteins or enzymes are worth for the discovery of new fungicide targets.

RESUMO

Epidemiological evidence suggests existing comorbidity between postmenopausal osteoporosis (OP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), but identification of possible shared genes is lacking. The skeletal global transcriptomes were analyzed in trans-iliac bone biopsies (n = 84) from clinically well-characterized postmenopausal women (50 to 86 years) without clinical CVD using microchips and RNA sequencing. One thousand transcripts highly correlated with areal bone mineral density (aBMD) were further analyzed using bioinformatics, and common genes overlapping with CVD and associated biological mechanisms, pathways and functions were identified. Fifty genes (45 mRNAs, 5 miRNAs) were discovered with established roles in oxidative stress, inflammatory response, endothelial function, fibrosis, dyslipidemia and osteoblastogenesis/calcification. These pleiotropic genes with possible CVD comorbidity functions were also present in transcriptomes of microvascular endothelial cells and cardiomyocytes and were differentially expressed between healthy and osteoporotic women with fragility fractures. The results were supported by a genetic pleiotropy-informed conditional False Discovery Rate approach identifying any overlap in single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) within several genes encoding aBMD- and CVD-associated transcripts. The study provides transcriptional and genomic evidence for genes of importance for both BMD regulation and CVD risk in a large collection of postmenopausal bone biopsies. Most of the transcripts identified in the CVD risk categories have no previously recognized roles in OP pathogenesis and provide novel avenues for exploring the mechanistic basis for the biological association between CVD and OP.

RESUMO

A cascade Nazarov cyclization/dicycloexpansions reaction was developed for the precise synthesis of the angularly fused M/5/N (M = 5, 6; N = 4-9, 13) tricyclic skeletons. The prioritized expansion of the first ring played a critical role in the transformations, due to the release of ring strain, and the nature of the substituents present on the substrate is another influencing factor. This pioneering cascade reaction features broad substrates scope (33 examples), short reaction time, exceptional yields (up to 95%), and remarkable regioselectivities (> 20:1). Exploiting the synthetic application of this cascade reaction, we successfully executed a succinct total synthesis of nominal madreporanone for the first time.

RESUMO

The question of whether immune dysfunction contributes to risk of psychiatric disorders has long been a subject of interest. To assert this hypothesis a plethora of correlative evidence has been accumulated from the past decades; however, a variety of technical and practical obstacles impeded on a cause-effect interpretation of these data. With the advent of large-scale omics technology and advanced statistical models, particularly Mendelian randomization, new studies testing this old hypothesis are accruing. Here we synthesize these new findings from genomics and genetic causal inference studies on the role of immune dysfunction in major psychiatric disorders and reconcile these new data with pre-omics findings. By reconciling these evidences, we aim to identify key gaps and propose directions for future studies in the field.

RESUMO

Aerodynamic investigation of a bionic coaxial-rotors unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is performed. According to Chinese parasol seed features and flight requirements, the bionic conceptual design of a coaxial-rotors UAV is described. A solution procedure for the numerical simulation method, based on a multi-reference frame (MRF) model, is expressed, and a verification study is presented using the typical case. The aerodynamic design is conducted for airfoil, blade, and coaxial-rotors interference. The aerodynamic performance of the coaxial rotors is investigated by numerical simulation analysis. The rotor/motor integrated experiment verification is conducted to assess the performance of the coaxial-rotors UAV. The results indicate that the UAV has excellent aerodynamic performance and bionic configuration, allowing it to adapt to task requirements. The bionic UAV has a good cruise power load reach of 8.36 kg/kw, and the cruise flying thrust force is not less than 78 N at coaxial-rotor and rotor-balloon distance ratios of 0.39 and 1.12, respectively. It has the "blocks stability phenomenon" formed by the rotor downwash speed decreases and the balloon's additional negative pressure. The present method and the bionic configuration provide a feasible design and analysis strategy for coaxial-rotors UAVs.

RESUMO

Ultrafine, highly active coal gasification slag (HCGS) was produced via a sustainable, green dry-ball-milling method. Coal gasification fine slag (CGS), a potential environmental pollutant, was used as a new source of rubber filler without pre-treatment, enabling waste utilisation. HCGS was added to styrene-butadiene rubber (ESBR) composites, and the effects of HCGS and the filler content on the mechanical and thermal stabilities of SBR were evaluated. The procedure conforms to important green metrics, requiring no solvent or additional reagent, or solvent-assistance for product collection. HCGS reduced the scorch time (t10) and curing time (t90) of the filled ESBR composites relative to those of pure SBR and improved the mechanical parameters. The tensile strength at 50 phr reached 10.91 MPa, and the tear strength at 90 phr reached 64.92 kN/m, corresponding to 9.4- and 3.92-fold increases relative to that of SBR filled with HCGS, respectively. HCGS exerted a reinforcing effect on ESBR, comparable to that of commercial carbon black (CB) N330. HCGS improves the binding between rubber molecules and filler particles and captures the rubber chain, thereby limiting its movement. HCGS is potentially applicable as a CB substitute in the rubber industry, with environmental and economic benefits in the disposal of CGS.

RESUMO

The coupling and interplay between magnon and phonon are important topics for spintronics and magnonics. In this work we studied the nonlinear magnon-phonon coupling in CoF2. First-principles calculations demonstrate that the antiferromagnetic resonance magnon drives a phonon with B1gcharacter; the oscillating driving force has a frequency twice of that of the magnon. Comparing with similar materials indicates a strong correlation between the strength of nonlinear magnon-phonon coupling and the orbital magnetic moment of the magnetic ion. This work pave the way for theoretical study of nonlinear magnon-phonon coupling.
