RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: Histone modification is an important epigenetic regulatory mechanism and essential for stress adaptation in plants. However, systematic analysis of histone modification genes (HMs) in Brassicaceae species is lacking, and their roles in response to abiotic stress have not yet been identified. RESULTS: In this study, we identified 102 AtHMs, 280 BnaHMs, 251 BcHMs, 251 BjHMs, 144 BnHMs, 155 BoHMs, 137 BrHMs, 122 CrHMs, and 356 CsHMs in nine Brassicaceae species, respectively. Their chromosomal locations, protein/gene structures, phylogenetic trees, and syntenies were determined. Specific domains were identified in several Brassicaceae HMs, indicating an association with diverse functions. Syntenic analysis showed that the expansion of Brassicaceae HMs may be due to segmental and whole-genome duplications. Nine key BnaHMs in allotetraploid rapeseed may be responsible for ammonium, salt, boron, cadmium, nitrate, and potassium stress based on co-expression network analysis. According to weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), 12 BnaHMs were associated with stress adaptation. Among the above genes, BnaPRMT11 simultaneously responded to four different stresses based on differential expression analysis, while BnaSDG46, BnaHDT10, and BnaHDA1 participated in five stresses. BnaSDG46 was also involved in four different stresses based on WGCNA, while BnaSDG10 and BnaJMJ58 were differentially expressed in response to six different stresses. In summary, six candidate genes for stress resistance (BnaPRMT11, BnaSDG46, BnaSDG10, BnaJMJ58, BnaHDT10, and BnaHDA1) were identified. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, these findings help clarify the biological roles of Brassicaceae HMs. The identified candidate genes provide an important reference for the potential development of stress-tolerant oilseed plants.

CsPbBr3 perovskite quantum dots (QDs) show great potential in various applications due to their size-dependent and excellent optoelectronic properties. However, it is still challenging to synthesize size-tunable CsPbBr3 QDs with purple emission. Herein, CsPbBr3 nanospheres (NS) with purple emission (432 nm) and wavelength-tunable photoluminescence were synthesized using a two-step recrystallization method for the first time. A nanocube (NC) strategy resulting from CsPbBr3 nanosphere self-assembly via polar solvent-induced surface ligand mismatch was proposed. The self-assembly process endows the QDs with wavelength-tunable photoluminescence ranging from 432 to 518 nm. The significant reduction in defects during self-assembly was confirmed by transient optical spectroscopy measurements, photoluminescence quantum yields (PLQY), and the disappearance of tail bands in the long-wavelength region of the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum. This theory demonstrated that the decrease in high defect surfaces and increase in specific surface area were the reasons for the decline in defects. Most importantly, these QDs could be used for the active jamming of optical imaging systems based on charged-coupled devices (CCDs), including laser imaging radar and low light level (LLL) night vision systems. QDs significantly increase the mean square error (MSE) of the image, while the detection rate of the target by the artificial intelligence algorithm decreased by 95.17%. The wide wavelength tunable emission caused by structural changes makes it arduous for silicon-based detectors to avoid the interference of QDs by adding filters or by other means.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: B-box (BBX) genes play important roles in plant growth regulation and responses to abiotic stresses. The plant growth and yield production of allotetraploid rapeseed is usually hindered by diverse nutrient stresses. However, no systematic analysis of Brassicaceae BBXs and the roles of BBXs in the regulation of nutrient stress responses have not been identified and characterized previously. RESULTS: In this study, a total of 536 BBXs were identified from nine brassicaceae species, including 32 AtBBXs, 66 BnaBBXs, 41 BoBBXs, 43 BrBBXs, 26 CrBBXs, 81 CsBBXs, 52 BnBBXs, 93 BjBBXs, and 102 BcBBXs. Syntenic analysis showed that great differences in the gene number of Brassicaceae BBXs might be caused by genome duplication. The BBXs were respectively divided into five subclasses according to their phylogenetic relationships and conserved domains, indicating their diversified functions. Promoter cis-element analysis showed that BBXs probably participated in diverse stress responses. Protein-protein interactions between BnaBBXs indicated their functions in flower induction. The expression profiles of BnaBBXs were investigated in rapeseed plants under boron deficiency, boron toxicity, nitrate limitation, phosphate shortage, potassium starvation, ammonium excess, cadmium toxicity, and salt stress conditions using RNA-seq data. The results showed that different BnaBBXs showed differential transcriptional responses to nutrient stresses, and some of them were simultaneously responsive to diverse nutrient stresses. CONCLUSIONS: Taken together, the findings investigated in this study provided rich resources for studying Brassicaceae BBX gene family and enriched potential clues in the genetic improvement of crop stress resistance.
