RESUMO
Supercapacitors have been extensively studied due to their advantages of fast-charging and discharging, high-power density, long-cycling life, low cost, etc. Exploring novel nanomaterial schemes for high-performance electrode materials is of great significance. Herein, a strategy to combine vertical graphene (VG) with MoO3 nanosheets to form a composite VG/MoO3 nanostructure is proposed. VGs as transition layers supply rich active sites for the growth of MoO3 nanosheets with increasing specific surface areas. The VG transition layer further improves the electric contact and adhesion of the MoO3 electrode, simultaneously stabilizing its volume and crystal structure during repeated redox reactions. Thus, the prepared VG/MoO3 nanosheets have been demonstrated to exhibit excellent electrochemical properties, such as high reversible capacitance, better cycling performance, and high-rate capability.
RESUMO
Tartary buckwheat (TB; Fagopyrum tataricum Gaertn.) is an important multigrain crop and medicinal plant, but functional genomics and molecular breeding research in this species have been lacking for quite some time. Here, genome-wide screening was performed to develop simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers associated with six major agronomic traits and the rutin contents of 97 core germplasm resources. A total of 40,901 SSR loci were identified; they were uniformly distributed throughout the TB genome, with a mean distance of 11 kb between loci. Based on these loci, 8,089 pairs of SSR primers were designed, and 101 primer pairs for polymorphic SSR loci were used to genotype the 97 core germplasm resources. The polymorphic SSR loci showed high genetic variation in these core germplasm resources, with an average polymorphic information content (PIC) value of 0.48. In addition, multiple SSR markers, such as SXAU8002 [100-grain weight (HGW)] and SXAU8006 [stem diameter (SD)], were found to be associated with agronomic traits in the two environments. Finally, based on gene functional annotation and homology analysis, a candidate gene, FtPinG0007685500, that may affect the node number and SD of the main stem by participating in lignin synthesis was identified. This study reports the mining of genome-wide SSR loci and the development of markers in TB, which can be used for molecular characterization of the germplasm in its gene pool. In addition, the detected markers and candidate genes could be used for marker-assisted breeding and functional gene cloning in TB.
RESUMO
In the title polymer, [Mn(C(8)H(8)O(5))(H(2)O)(2)](n), the Mn(II) atom is in a distorted octa-hedral coordination mode, binding to the bridging O atom of the bicyclo-heptane unit, two O atoms from corresponding carboxyl-ate groups, one carboxyl-ate O atom from a symmetry-related bridging ligand and two water O atoms. This arrangement leads to the formation of polymeric chains propagating parallel to [001]. The crystal structure is stabilized by several O-Hâ¯O hydrogen-bonding inter-actions involving the coordinated water mol-ecules as donors and the carboxyl-ate O atoms as acceptors.
