A combination of leaf rust resistance gene Lr34 and lesion mimic gene lm significantly enhances adult plant resistance to Puccinia triticina in wheat

Leaf rust caused by Puccinia triticina is an economically-important disease in wheat worldwide.A combination of different types of resistance genes may significantly enhance rust resistance under rust-favorable conditions.To investigate the interactions between the rust resistance gene Lr34 and the lesion mimic gene lm on 1BL in Ning 7840,a segregating F8-10 population of 180 recombinant inbred lines was developed from Ning 7840/Chokwang and evaluated for both lesion mimic expression and leaf rust response at the adult plant stage in a greenhouse.A major quantitative trait locus(QTL),derived from Sumai 3,was co-localized with Lr34 on chromosome 7D and explained 41.5% of phenotypic variations for rust severity and 22.1% for leaf tip necrosis(LTN).The presence of Lr34 was confirmed by Lr34-specific markers cssfr1 and cssfr2 in Ning 7840 and Sumai 3.Unlike Lr34,lm conditioned a spontaneous lesion mimic phenotype and had a significant effect on reducing uredinial size,and a smaller effect on severity.Additive effects were observed between lm and Lr34 for severity and LTN,and an epistatic effect was observed for infection type.Single marker analysis also identified several other QTL with minor effects on severity,infection type,or LTN.     

Atomic packing and short-to-medium range order evolution of Zr-Pd metallic glass

A larger-scale Zr₇₀Pd₃₀ alloy system has been simulated using molecular dynamics (MD) to investigate structure evolution in Zr₇₀Pd₃₀ metallic glass. The simulated pair distribution function of Zr₇₀Pd₃₀ metallic glass agrees well with the experimental results. Voronoi polyhedron analysis indicates that the icosahedra are not randomly distributed in space, but form characteristic intercrossed icosahedral clusters with medium-range order. Intercrossed icosahedral clusters are the dominant local configurations in Zr₇₀Pd₃₀ metallic glass and probably cause the quasicrystalline phase discovered in Zr₇₀Pd₃₀ metallic glass.     

Effects of road networks on ecosystem service value in the Longitudinal Range-Gorge Region

Based on the land use (LU) (in 1985 and 2000) and road networks (RN) data in the Longitudinal Range-Gorge Region (LRGR), ecosystem services value (ESV) loss under the disturbance of road networks was estimated by using landscape degradation index (LDI) to clarify the effects of human activities on ecosystem service function (ESF). Results show that the ESV decreased more than 65×10⁸ Yuan (RMB) due to the transformation of ecosystems in the study area during the past 16 years. The ecosystems influenced by road networks of different grades account for 5.4% of the total land in the study area. The ecosystems lost their ESV of 1900×10⁸ Yuan (RMB) by the disturbance of RN. The effect of RN on the ESV decreased exponentially. The forecast shows that ESV will be decreased 1.2%/a on average in 2010 and 2020 due to RN projects. The effect of ecosystem structure change on ESV was complex and nonlinear. The disturbance of RN, one of the human activities influencing ESF is considered, further study and new method should be developed to accurately estimate the loss of ESV and the ecosystem function.

     

运动细胞初始极化阶段胞内信号分子双向积聚的分子机制及动态数值模拟

真核细胞（Eukaryotes）,如盘基网柄菌细胞（Dictyo stelium）和白细胞（Leukocyte）等,受到前方传来的外信号刺激后,胞内物质发生两种方向相反的运动：胞质中与质膜结合的磷酸激酶PI3K及其在质膜上的生成物磷脂酰肌醇-3,4,5-三磷酸PI（3,4,5）P3以向前扩散的方式积聚到前沿;而胞质中与质膜结合的磷酸酶PTEN及其在质膜上的生成物磷脂酰肌醇-4,5-双磷酸PI（4,5）P2以向后扩散的方式积聚到质膜的后边.通过这种＂双向积聚＂,细胞形成头部和尾部,并在前沿生出伪足,完成初始极化.本文根据已知的实验,分析了＂双向积聚＂的分子机制,建立了相应的数学模型,通过数值模拟加以分析.以胞内被激活的小G蛋白（Rac）为触发信号,其梯度与外信号场的梯度一致;PI3K和PTEN作为调控因子,PI（3,4,5）P3和PI（4,5）P2作为标识细胞极化的信号分子,它们的浓度变化由一组耦合的非稳态二维反应-扩散方程描述.该反应-扩散体系源项中包含：PI（3,4,5）P3对PI3K,PI（4,5）P2对PTEN的识别和结合过程,是由蒙特-卡诺（Monte-Carlo）法处理;质膜结合态PI3K和PTEN对PI（3,4,5）P3和PI（4,5）P2施加的酶催化作用,由Michaelis-Menten动力学过程描述.反应-扩散方程组采用格子Boltzmann方法进行数值求解.数值试验显示,产生＂双向积聚＂的关键是受外信号梯度刺激后的胞内信号分子相互激发或抑制所形成的正反馈或负反馈回路：给细胞质膜头部一个较高的Rac激活率,Rac→PI3K？PI（3,4,5）P3将形成短程正反馈回路（亦即＂局部激励＂）,引起PI3K和PI（3,4,5）P3快速在细胞头部积聚;头部PI（3,4,5）P3增多,限制了PTEN与PI（4,5）P2结合,使得PI（3,4,5）P3？PTEN→PI（4,5）P2形成长程负反馈回路（亦即＂全局抑制＂）;引起PTEN和PI（4,5）P2慢慢在细胞尾部积聚.同时发现,PI3K和PTEN含量对细胞极化有明显的影响,并存在使细胞正确极化的最佳值.

三元混晶双势垒结构中光学声子辅助共振隧穿及压力效应

采用连续介电模型,细致探讨了AIxGa1-xAs／GaAs双势垒结构中界面声子的色散关系及其与电子的耦合作用．进而采用Fermi黄金法则,在该结构的垒或阱为三元混晶材料时,分别计算了声子辅助隧穿电流密度．结果表明,在宽阱情形下,若垒为混晶材料,混晶效应不明显,只有一个明显的声子峰,该结论与实验符合较好;若阱为混晶材料,则混晶效应明显,具有两个声子峰,该结论对实验有指导意义．本文还讨论了压力对声子辅助共振隧穿的影响,结果显示：声子辅助隧穿峰和共振峰的峰值均随压力增加而减小,但声子辅助隧穿效应则随压力增加．
