ABSTRACT
Low temperature and cold damage are natural factors that seriously reduce wheat yield. Thus, how to improve the cold resistance of wheat has been the focus of wheat breeders and geneticists. However, the genetic improvement for this trait has been slow, mainly because cold resistance is a complex quantitative trait and field phenotypic identification is relatively difficult. Therefore, the discovery, mapping, and cloning of the cold resistance genes of wheat provide a theoretical basis for the genetic improvement of wheat against cold resistance and facilitate the analysis of the molecular mechanisms of cold resistance in wheat. This study used the wheat line H261 and its EMS mutants LF2099 and XiNong 239 as materials. Cold trait segregation occurred in the F2 generation of mutants LF2099 and XiNong 239 at a 15:1 separation ratio. Genetic analysis showed that two dominant overlapping genes, temporarily named Wcr-3 and Wcr-4, control cold resistance in wheat. Furthermore, a combined BSA and SNP array established that Wcr-3 is between BU100519 (SSR marker) and AX-94843669 (SNP marker). The markers are 1.32 cM apart, corresponding to the 5.41 Mb physical interval on the Chinese Spring 2B chromosome with 67 functionally annotated genes. Wcr-4 is located between AX-94657955 (SNP marker) and LC-23 (SSR marker), which are 1.79 cM apart, corresponding to a 2.35 Mb physical interval on the Chinese Spring 2D chromosome, which contains 66 functionally annotated genes. Wcr-3 and Wcr-4 are two new cold resistance genes, laying the foundation for their fine mapping and cloning.

ABSTRACT
Ethylene has an important role in regulating plant growth and development as well as responding to adversity stresses. The 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (ACS) is the rate-limiting enzyme for ethylene biosynthesis. However, the role of the ACS gene family in wheat has not been examined. In this study, we identified 12 ACS members in wheat. According to their position on the chromosome, we named them TaACS1-TaACS12, which were divided into four subfamilies, and members of the same subfamilies had similar gene structures and protein-conserved motifs. Evolutionary analysis showed that fragment replication was the main reason for the expansion of the TaACS gene family. The spatiotemporal expression specificity showed that most of the members had the highest expression in roots, and all ACS genes contained W box elements that were related to root development, which suggested that the ACS gene family might play an important role in root development. The results of the gene expression profile analysis under stress showed that ACS members could respond to a variety of stresses. Protein interaction prediction showed that there were four types of proteins that could interact with TaACS. We also obtained the targeting relationship between TaACS family members and miRNA. These results provided valuable information for determining the function of the wheat ACS gene, especially under stress.

Orbital observations suggest that Mars underwent a recent 'ice age' (roughly 0.4-2.1 million years ago), during which a latitude-dependent ice-dust mantle (LDM)1,2 was emplaced. A subsequent decrease in obliquity amplitude resulted in the emergence of an 'interglacial period'1,3 during which the lowermost latitude LDM ice4-6 was etched and removed, returning it to the polar cap. These observations are consistent with polar cap stratigraphy1,7, but lower- to mid-latitude in situ surface observations in support of a glacial-interglacial transition that can be reconciled with mesoscale and global atmospheric circulation models8 is lacking. Here we present a suite of measurements obtained by the Zhurong rover during its traverse across the southern LDM region in Utopia Planitia, Mars. We find evidence for a stratigraphic sequence involving initial barchan dune formation, indicative of north-easterly winds, cementation of dune sediments, followed by their erosion by north-westerly winds, eroding the barchan dunes and producing distinctive longitudinal dunes, with the transition in wind regime consistent with the end of the ice age. The results are compatible with the Martian polar stratigraphic record and will help improve our understanding of the ancient climate history of Mars9.
ABSTRACT
Life molecules' distributions in live systems construct the complex dynamic reaction networks, whereas it is still challenging to demonstrate the dynamic distributions of biomolecules in live systems. Herein, we proposed a dynamic analysis strategy via sequence-structure bispecific RNA with state-adjustable molecules to monitor the dynamic concentration and spatiotemporal localization of these biomolecules in live cells based on the new insight of fluorescent RNA (FLRNA) interactions and their mechanism of fluorescence enhancement. Typically, computer-based nucleic acid-molecular docking simulation and molecular theoretical calculation have been proposed to provide a simple and straightforward method for guiding the custom-design of FLRNA. Impressively, a novel FLRNA with sequence and structure bispecific RNA named as a structure-switching aptamer (SSA) was introduced to monitor the real-time concentration and spatiotemporal localization of biomolecules, contributing to a deeper insight of the dynamic monitoring and visualization of biomolecules in live systems.

Landforms on the Martian surface are critical to understanding the nature of surface processes in the recent past. However, modern hydroclimatic conditions on Mars remain enigmatic, as explanations for the formation of observed landforms are ambiguous. We report crusts, cracks, aggregates, and bright polygonal ridges on the surfaces of hydrated salt-rich dunes of southern Utopia Planitia (~25°N) from in situ exploration by the Zhurong rover. These surface features were inferred to form after 1.4 to 0.4 million years ago. Wind and CO2 frost processes can be ruled out as potential mechanisms. Instead, involvement of saline water from thawed frost/snow is the most likely cause. This discovery sheds light on more humid conditions of the modern Martian climate and provides critical clues to future exploration missions searching for signs of extant life, particularly at low latitudes with comparatively warmer, more amenable surface temperatures.
ABSTRACT
Multifingered hand dexterous manipulation is quite challenging in the domain of robotics. One remaining issue is how to achieve compliant behaviors. In this work, we propose a human-in-the-loop learning-control approach for acquiring compliant grasping and manipulation skills of a multifinger robot hand. This approach takes the depth image of the human hand as input and generates the desired force commands for the robot. The markerless vision-based teleoperation system is used for the task demonstration, and an end-to-end neural network model (i.e., TeachNet) is trained to map the pose of the human hand to the joint angles of the robot hand in real-time. To endow the robot hand with compliant human-like behaviors, an adaptive force control strategy is designed to predict the desired force control commands based on the pose difference between the robot hand and the human hand during the demonstration. The force controller is derived from a computational model of the biomimetic control strategy in human motor learning, which allows adapting the control variables (impedance and feedforward force) online during the execution of the reference joint angles. The simultaneous adaptation of the impedance and feedforward profiles enables the robot to interact with the environment compliantly. Our approach has been verified in both simulation and real-world task scenarios based on a multifingered robot hand, that is, the Shadow Hand, and has shown more reliable performances than the current widely used position control mode for obtaining compliant grasping and manipulation behaviors.
ABSTRACT
The western maria of lunar near-side are widely covered with late-stage mare basalts. Due to the lack of returned samples, the mineralogy of the late-stage basalts was previously speculated as having high abundance of olivine based on remote sensing observation. However, here we show that Chang'E-5 (CE-5) lunar soil samples, the ground truth from past unsampled lunar late-stage mare region, give a different interpretation. Our laboratory spectroscopic and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of the CE-5 soil samples demonstrate that their special spectral signatures are representative of iron-rich high-Ca pyroxene rather than olivine. Considering the spectral and compositional similarities between CE-5 soil samples and lunar late-stage basalts, the mineralogy and petrology of CE-5 samples may be able to be generalized to entire lunar late-stage basalts. Our study would provide a constraint on the thermal evolution of the Moon, especially the young lunar volcanism.

Digital droplet technology has emerged as a powerful new tool for biomarker analysis. Temperature cycling, enzymes, and off-chip processes are, nevertheless, always required. Herein, we constructed a digital droplet auto-catalytic hairpin assembly (ddaCHA) microfluidic system to achieve digital quantification of single-molecule microRNA (miRNA). The designed continuous chip integrates droplet generation, incubation, and fluorescence imaging on the chip, avoiding the requirement for extra droplet re-collection and heating operations. Clearly, the digital readout was obtained by partitioning miRNA into many individual pL-sized small droplets in which the target molecule is either present ("positive") or absent ("negative"). Importantly, the suggested enzyme-free auto-catalytic hairpin assembly (aCHA) in droplets successfully mitigated the effects of the external environment and thermal cycling on droplets, and its reaction rate is significantly superior to that of traditional CHA. We got excellent sensitivity with a linear correlation from 1 pM to 10 nM and a detection limit of 0.34 pM in the fluorescence spectrum section, as well as high selectivity to other miRNAs. Furthermore, the minimum target concentration could be reduced to 10 fM based on the high-throughput tracking computation of fluorescent droplets with a self-developed Python script, and the fluorescence intensity distribution agreed well with the theoretical value, demonstrating that it is feasible to detect miRNA efficiently and accurately, which has great potential applications in clinical diagnostics and biochemical research.

Today, a lot of attention is being paid to the pre-miRNAs/miRNAs or activity of Dicer due to their important functions in various physiological processes. Especially, the intrinsic relationship among these associated targets is of significant importance for more in-depth research on the mechanism of disease formation and early diagnosis. Herein, a strategy for simultaneous bioanalysis of miRNAs/pre-miRNAs and Dicer enzyme based on the self-designed multi-path nucleic acid amplification technology was proposed. Typically, in the presence of pre-miRNA-155, it can hybridize with Helper to generate a structure with two new toeholds, one of which could react with H1, H2, and H3, performing a modified CHA reaction with obvious fluorescence responses of FAM, and another of which could hybridize with H4, H5, and H6 to construct the [H4-H5-H6]n DNA nanosphere with obvious fluorescence responses of Cy5. Similarly, miRNA-155 could just hybridize with H1, H2, and H3 to generate the same modified CHA reaction with obvious fluorescence responses of FAM. Due to the successful multi-path nucleic acid amplification, the proposed bioanalysis strategy could be successfully employed for miRNA-155 and pre-miRNA-155 analysis in the range from 500 pM to 100 nM and 1 to 300 nM, respectively. The proposed strategy could be applied to explore another inter-related nucleic acid relationship also, providing great potential in bioanalysis of various nucleic acids.

Considering the challenges of generating simple and efficient DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) nanomachines for sensitive bioassays and the great potential of target-induced self-cycling catalytic systems, herein, a novel autocatalytic three-dimensional (3D) DNA nanomachine was constructed based on cross-catalytic hairpin assembly on gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) to generate self-powered efficient cyclic amplification. Typically, the DNA hairpins H1, H2, H3 and H4 were immobilized onto AuNPs first. In the presence of target microRNA-203a, the 3D DNA nanomachines were triggered to activate a series of CHA (catalytic hairpin assembly) reactions. Based on the rational design of the system, the products of the CHA 1 reaction were the trigger of the CHA 2 reaction, which could trigger the CHA 1 reaction in turn, generating an efficient self-powered CHA amplification strategy without adding fuel DNA strands or protein enzymes externally and producing high-efficiency fluorescence signal amplification. More importantly, the proposed autocatalytic 3D DNA nanomachines outperformed conventional 3D DNA nanomachines combined with the single-directional cyclic amplification strategy to maximize the amplification efficiency. This strategy not only achieves high-efficiency analysis of microRNAs (microribonucleic acids) in vitro and intracellularly but also provides a new pathway for highly processive DNA nanomachines, offering a new avenue for bioanalysis and early clinical diagnosis.

The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level, defined as the ratio of HbA1c to total hemoglobin (tHb), has been considered as a standard index for diabetes mellitus diagnosis, avoiding any short-term fluctuation of the blood glucose level. However, it is still a key challenge that some complicated separation procedures are required to detect HbA1c and tHb in a single experiment. Herein, we developed a dual-sensing fluorescent assay for HbA1c and tHb based on proximity hybridization-induced rolling circle amplification (RCA) and T7 exonuclease aided signal cycle to calculate the HbAlc level in one single experiment. Typically, four DNA-tagged probes were used for immunoreactions of anti-HbA1c antibodies (Ab1) and anti-Hb antibodies (Ab2) with HbA1c and Hb, respectively. The RCA1 and RCA2 were induced by the complexes of assistant DNAs and the products of proximity hybridization with anti-HbA1c-DNA1 (2) and anti-Hb-DNA3 (4), respectively. Meanwhile, the tHb in solution could prevent the existing RCA2 based on its competing with Hb-DNA3 for Ab2-DNA4. Thus, RCA1 and RCA2 routes create "signal-on" and "signal-off" readouts, respectively. After the hybridization of signal probes and RCA products, the quenched fluorescence was recovered by the digestion of T7 exonuclease. Under optimized conditions, the method displayed high sensitivity with a limit of detection 2.17 ng/mL and 33.4 ng/mL for HbA1c and tHb, respectively, and the real sample analysis results were found to match well with the theoretical data, holding feasibility for rapid, homogeneous, and easy HbA1c level evaluation and great promise as a potential alternative tool to analyze HbA1c level clinically.

The inevitable nonspecific recognition severely restricted widely used nucleic acid amplification strategies, which has become an urgent problem in current scientific research. Herein, we developed a novel no-nonspecific recognition-based amplification strategy to construct dual-color dye loaded nano-clew as ultrabright illuminant for screening endonuclease activity with Escherichia coliRY13 I (EcoR I) as a model, which overcame some major drawbacks such as nonspecific recognition and photobleaching. Typically, the target endonuclease induces cleavage of the customized dumbbell-shape substrate (DSS) to generate two same triggers that can initiate the rolling circle amplification (RCA) to prepare long single-strand DNA (lssDNA), which could self-assemble into irregular DNA nano-clew based on the electrostatic interactions with Mg2+ to furtherly capture the donor and accepter fluorophore proximately, constructing the dye loaded nano-clew with dual-color fluorescence (FL) emission to resist photobleaching. Importantly, in absence of EcoR I, even if the DSS could combine with circular template a little, the reaction system performed hardly RCA reaction due to no cohesive terminus, resulting an extremely low background fluorescence signal because of the prevention of nonspecific RCA reaction. As expected, the proposed sensing platform with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 3.4 × 10-7 U/µL was demonstrated to work well for endonuclease inhibitors screening also. Furthermore, the proposed no-nonspecific recognition strategy could be readily extended to various DNA or RNA enzymes such as DNA methyltransferase, DNA repair-related enzymes and polynucleotide kinase just by simply changing the recognition sequence in the DNA substrate, performing great potential of endonucleases-related clinical diagnosis and drugs discovery.

We have developed a mild catalytic approach for the synthesis of new dithienofuran derivatives via cascade copper catalysed dual C-S coupling and subsequent ring closure reactions. Sonogashira coupling between perbromofuran and terminal alkynes produced 3,4-dibromo-2,5-dialkynylfuran (1) in good yields. Next, copper catalysed C-S coupling between 1 and Na2S·9H2O and a subsequent ring-closure reaction afforded dithienofuran compounds (2) under mild conditions. We found that this strategy shows broad substrate scope and can be used to prepare not only aryl and heteroaryl but also alkyl substituted dithienofuran derivatives in up to 70% yields. Furthermore, we proposed a mechanism including two catalytic cycles: a typical Cu(i)/Cu(iii) catalytic cycle and a subsequent Cu(ii) induced cyclization mechanism.
ABSTRACT
Applications for dexterous robot teleoperation and immersive virtual reality are growing. Haptic user input devices need to allow the user to intuitively command and seamlessly "feel" the environment they work in, whether virtual or a remote site through an avatar. We introduce the DLR Exodex Adam, a reconfigurable, dexterous, whole-hand haptic input device. The device comprises multiple modular, three degrees of freedom (3-DOF) robotic fingers, whose placement on the device can be adjusted to optimize manipulability for different user hand sizes. Additionally, the device is mounted on a 7-DOF robot arm to increase the user's workspace. Exodex Adam uses a front-facing interface, with robotic fingers coupled to two of the user's fingertips, the thumb, and two points on the palm. Including the palm, as opposed to only the fingertips as is common in existing devices, enables accurate tracking of the whole hand without additional sensors such as a data glove or motion capture. By providing "whole-hand" interaction with omnidirectional force-feedback at the attachment points, we enable the user to experience the environment with the complete hand instead of only the fingertips, thus realizing deeper immersion. Interaction using Exodex Adam can range from palpation of objects and surfaces to manipulation using both power and precision grasps, all while receiving haptic feedback. This article details the concept and design of the Exodex Adam, as well as use cases where it is deployed with different command modalities. These include mixed-media interaction in a virtual environment, gesture-based telemanipulation, and robotic hand-arm teleoperation using adaptive model-mediated teleoperation. Finally, we share the insights gained during our development process and use case deployments.
ABSTRACT
Herein, a redox-cycling was proposed to amplify the signal of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), which was performed in a polystyrene microplate based on a classic sandwich-type. After the sandwich immunoreactions were finished, the alkaline phosphatase captured on a microplate triggered the hydrolyzation of l-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate to generate ascorbic acid (AA), which then reduced colorless tris(bathophenanthroline) iron(III) (Fe(BPT)33+) encapsulated in the micelle of TX-100 to pink red tris(bathophenanthroline) iron(II) (Fe(BPT)32+). In the presence of tris(2-carboxyethyl)phosphine, the oxidation product, dehydroascorbic acid, was transformed to AA quickly which then reduced Fe(BPT)33+ again and again, resulting in the generation of abundant Fe(BPT)32+ that could be read out conveniently by a commercial microplate reader or the naked eye. Because the negative charged TCEP with large size could hardly pass through the micelle, the reduction of Fe(BPT)33+ by TCEP directly was negligible. Experiment results for assay of alpha-fetoprotein (a model antigen) showed the cycling greatly improved the detection limit to 5 pg/mL, 2 orders of magnitude lower than that of conventional ELISA. The cycling also exhibited the advantages of simplicity and high reproducibility, implying its great potential for practical applications in biological and clinical diagnosis.

Plasmonic colorimetric sensors have emerged as a powerful tool in chemical and biological sensing applications due to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) extinction in the visible range. Among the plasmonic sensors, the most famous sensing mode is the "aggregation" plasmonic colorimetric sensor which is based on plasmon coupling due to nanoparticle aggregation. Herein, this review focuses on the newly-developing plasmonic colorimetric sensing mode - the etching or the growth of metal nanoparticles induces plasmon changes, namely, "non-aggregation" plasmonic colorimetric sensor. This type of sensors has attracted increasing interest because of their exciting properties of high sensitivity, multi-color changes, and applicability to make a test strip. Of particular interest, the test strip by immobilization of nanoparticles on the substrate can avoid the influence of nanoparticle auto-aggregation and increase the simplicity in storage and use. Although there are many excellent reviews available that describe the advance of plasmonic sensors, limited attention has been paid to the plasmonic colorimetric sensors based on etching or growth of metal nanoparticles. This review highlights recent progress on strategies and application of "non-aggregation" plasmonic colorimetric sensors. We also provide some personal insights into current challenges associated with "non-aggregation" plasmonic colorimetric sensors and propose future research directions.

Based on enzymatic-like reaction mediated etching of gold nanorods (GNRs), an ultrasensitive visual method was developed for on-site detection of urine glucose. With the catalysis of MoO42-, GNRs were efficiently etched by H2O2 which was generated by glucose-glucose oxidase enzymatic reaction. The etching of GNRs lead to a blue-shift of logitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance of GNRs, accompanied by an obvious color change from blue to red. The peak-shift and the color change can be used for detection of glucose by the spectrophotometer and the naked eyes. Under optimal condition, an excellent sensitivity toward glucose is obtained with a detection limit of 0.1µM and a visual detection limit of 3µM in buffer solution. Benefiting from the high sensitivity, the successful colorimetric detection of glucose in original urine samples was achieved, which indicates the practical applicability to the on-site determination of urine glucose.

Here, we have carefully investigated iodine-mediated etching of gold nanorods (AuNRs) in the presence of iodate and applied this phenomenon to on-site detection of dissolved oxygen (DO). Under given conditions, the quantitative conversion of target analytes DO to iodine leads to the etching of AuNRs along the longitudinal direction with the aid of cetyltrimethylammonium. As a result, the longitudinal localized surface plasmon resonance shifts to a short wavelength. The peak-shift can be used for quantitative determination of DO and iodate by a spectrophotometer. The satisfactory results from DO detection in different water samples and iodate detection in table salt indicate the feasibility of the proposed methods. Moreover, the as-prepared colorimetric test paper would make the detection more economical and simpler.
ABSTRACT
A highly sensitive colorimetric metalloimmunoassay with a detection limit of 0.15 ng ml(-1) for human IgG based on copper-mediated etching of gold nanorods was proposed.

A naked-eye sensitive ELISA-like assay was developed based on gold-enhanced peroxidase-like activity of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs). Using human IgG (H-IgG) as an analytical model, goat anti-human IgG antibody (anti-IgG) adsorbed on microtiter plate and AuNPs-labeled anti-IgG acted as capture antibody and detection antibody, respectively. Because the surfaces of AuNPs were blocked by protein molecules, the peroxidase-like activity of AuNPs was almost inhibited, evaluated by the catalytic oxidation of peroxidase enzyme substrate 3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB), which could produce a bright blue color in the presence of H2O2. Fortunately, the catalytic ability of AuNPs was dramatically increased by the deposition of gold due to the formation of a new gold shell on immunogold. Under optimal reaction conditions, the colorimetric immunoassay presented a good linear relationship in the range of 0.7-100 ng/mL and the limit of detection (LOD) of 0.3 ng/mL calculated by 3σ/S for UV-vis detection, and obtained LOD of 5 ng/mL for naked-eye detection. The obtained results were competitive with conventional sandwich ELISA with the LOD of 1.6 ng/mL. Furthermore, this developed colorimetric immunoassay was successfully applied to diluted human serum and fetal bovine serum samples, and predicted a broad prospect for the use of peroxidase-like activity involving nanomaterials in bioassay and diagnostics.
