| 1 | Microstructure and texture evolution of fine-grained Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy micro-tubes for biodegradable vascular stents processed by hot extrusion and rapid cooling显示文摘Magnesium alloys have narrow available slip result from close-packed hexagonal structure that limit their processing properties.In the recent work,the Mg-2Zn-0.46Y-0.5Nd,as materials for degradable stents,was applied to produce as-extruded micro-tube with an outer diameter of 3.0mm and a wall thickness of 0.35mm by hot extrusion with an extrusion ratio of 105:1 at 653K and rapid cooling.The fine microstructure of the dynamic recrystallization of as-extruded micro-tube could be preserved by rapid cooling such as water-cooled,resulting in more excellent mechanical properties relative to air-cooled micro-tube.The addition of rare earth elements Y and Nd results in continuous dynamic recrystallization dominated the dynamic recrystallization mechanism.During the hot extrusion process,the activation of the non-basal slip system,especially the pyramidal(c+a)slip,could significantly weaken the texture strength,and the as-extruded micro-tube exhibits weak'RE'texture components(011^(-)1)||ED and(1^(-)21^(-)1)||ED.Hence,the magnesium alloy micro-tube prepared by the rapid cooling has fine microstructure and weak texture,which is favorable for further process and governance. | Kaikai Guo Mengyao Liu Jianfeng Wang Yufeng Sun Weiqing Li Shijie Zhu Liguo Wang Shaokang Guan | 2020 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2020,8,3: | 3 |
| 2 | Single-cell transcriptomes of peripheral blood cells indicate and elucidate severity of COVID-19显示文摘The blood and immune system of coronavirus disease 2019(COVID-19)infected patients are dysfunctional,and numerous studies have been conducted to resolve their characteristics and pathogenic mechanisms.Nevertheless,the variations of immune responses along with disease severity have not been comprehensively documented.Here,we profiled the single-cell transcriptomes of 96,313 peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs)derived from 12 COVID-19 patients(including four moderate,four severe and four critical cases)and three healthy donors.We showed that proliferative CD8 effector T cells with declined immune functions and cytotoxicity accumulated in the critical stage.By contrast,the quantity of natural killer(NK)cells was significantly reduced,while they exhibited enhanced immune activities.Notably,a gradually attenuated responseto COVID-19 along with disease severity was observed in monocytes,in terms of cellular composition,transcriptional discrepancy and transcription factor regulatory network.Furthermore,we identified immune cell-type dependent cytokine signatures distinguishing the severity of COVID-19 patients.In addition,cell interactions between CD8 effector T/NK cells and monocytes mediated by inflammatory cytokines were enhanced in moderate and severe stages,but weakened in critical cases.Collectively,our work uncovers the cellular and molecular players underlying the disordered and heterogeneous immune responses associated with COVID-19 severity,which could provide valuable insights for the treatment of critical COVID-19 patients. | Xiaowei Xie Xuelian Cheng Gaoxiang Wang Biao Zhang Mengyao Liu Liting Chen Hui Cheng Sha Hao Jianfeng Zhou Ping Zhu Tao Cheng | 2021 | Science China(Life Sciences)2021,64,10: | 3 |
| 3 | Single-cell transcriptomic landscape of human blood cells显示文摘High throughput single-cell RNA-seq has been successfully implemented to dissect the cellular and molecular features underlying hematopoiesis.However,an elaborate and comprehensive transcriptome reference of the whole blood system is lacking.Here,we profiled the transcriptomes of 7551 human blood cells representing 32 immunophenotypic cell types,including hematopoietic stem cells,progenitors and mature blood cells derived from 21 healthy donors.With high sequencing depth and coverage,we constructed a single-cell transcriptional atlas of blood cells(ABC) on the basis of both protein-coding genes and long noncoding RNAs(lncRNAs),and showed a high consistence between them.Notably,putative lncRNAs and transcription factors regulating hematopoietic cell differentiation were identified.While common transcription factor regulatory networks were activated in neutrophils and monocytes,lymphoid cells dramatically changed their regulatory networks during differentiation.Furthermore,we showed a subset of nucleated erythrocytes actively expressing immune signals,suggesting the existence of erythroid precursors with immune functions.Finally,a web portal offering transcriptome browsing and blood cell type prediction has been established.Thus,our work provides a transcriptional map of human blood cells at single-cell resolution,thereby offering a comprehensive reference for the exploration of physiological and pathological hematopoiesis. | Xiaowei Xie Mengyao Liu Yawen Zhang Bingrui Wang Caiying Zhu Chenchen Wang Qing Li Yingying Huo Jiaojiao Guo Changlu Xu Linping Hu Aiming Pang Shihui Ma Una Wang Wenbin Cao Shulian Chen Qiuling Li Sudong Zhang Xueying Zhao Wen Zhou Hongbo Luo Guoguang Zheng Erlie Jiang Sizhou Feng Lixiang Chen Lihong Shi Hui Cheng Sha Hao Ping Zhu Tao Cheng | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,3: | 3 |

| 5 | Corrosion fatigue of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy in simulated body fluid显示文摘Magnesium alloys were considered to be used as biodegradable implants due to their biocompatibility,biodegradability and nontoxicity.However,under the simultaneous action of corrosive environment and mechanical loading in human body,magnesium alloys are easy to be affected by corrosion fatigue and stress corrosion cracking.In this work,the fatigue behavior of the extruded Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy used for vascular stents was studied both in air and in simulated body fluid(SBF).It was revealed that the fatigue limit of as-extruded Mg-Zn-Y-Nd alloy in air is about 65 MPa at 10^7 cycles,while there is no limit in SBF and shows a linear relationship between the fatigue life and stress amplitudes.The fatigue crack source in air was formed by the inclusions and defects.However,the stress corrosion and hydrogen embrittlement are the main reasons for the formation of the fatigue initial crack source in SBF. | Mengyao Liu Jianfeng Wang Shijie Zhu Yabo Zhang Yufeng Sun Liguo Wang Shaokang Guan | 2020 | Journal of Magnesium and Alloys2020,8,1: | 1 |
| 6 | S1PR1 serves as a viable drug target against pulmonary fibrosis by increasing the integrity of the endothelial barrier of the lung显示文摘Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF)is a progressive lung disease with unclear etiology and limited treatment options.The median survival time for IPF patients is approximately 2–3 years and there is no effective intervention to treat IPF other than lung transplantation.As important components of lung tissue,endothelial cells(ECs)are associated with pulmonary diseases.However,the role of endothelial dysfunction in pulmonary fibrosis(PF)is incompletely understood.Sphingosine-1-phosphate receptor 1(S1PR1)is a G protein-coupled receptor highly expressed in lung ECs.Its expression is markedly reduced in patients with IPF.Herein,we generated an endothelial-conditional S1pr1 knockout mouse model which exhibited inflammation and fibrosis with or without bleomycin(BLM)challenge.Selective activation of S1PR1 with an S1PR1 agonist,IMMH002,exerted a potent therapeutic effect in mice with bleomycin-induced fibrosis by protecting the integrity of the endothelial barrier.These results suggest that S1PR1 might be a promising drug target for IPF therapy. | Mengyao Hao Rong Fu Jun Tai Zhenhuan Tian Xia Yuan Yang Chen Mingjin Wang Huimin Jiang Ming Ji Fangfang Lai Nina Xue Liping Bai Yizhun Zhu Xiaoxi Lv Xiaoguang Chen Jing Jin | 2023 | Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B2023,13,3: | 1 |
| 7 | circRNA3669 promotes goat endometrial epithelial cells proliferation via miR-26a/RCN2 to activate PI3K/AKT-mTOR and MAPK pathways显示文摘The development of receptive endometrium(RE) from pre-receptive endometrium(PE) for successful embryo implantation is a complex dynamic process in which the morphology and physiological states of the endometrial epithelium undergo a series of significant changes, including cell proliferation and apoptosis. However, the molecular mechanisms are not yet fully understood. In this study, a higher circRNA3669 level was observed in PE than in RE of goats. Functional assays revealed that this overexpression promoted the proliferation of goat endometrial epithelial cells(GEECs) by activating the expression of genes related to the PI3K/AKT-mTOR and MAPK pathways,thereby inhibiting apoptosis in vitro. Furthermore, circRNA3669 functioned as a competing endogenous RNA(ceRNA) to upregulate Reticulocalbin-2(RCN2) expression at the post-transcriptional level by interacting with and downregulating miR-26a in GEECs. In addition, RCN2, which is highly expressed in the PE of goats, was found to be regulated by β-estradiol(E2) and progesterone(P4). Our results demonstrated that RCN2 also affected the key proteins PI3K, AKT, mTOR, JNK, and P38 in the PI3K/AKT-mTOR and MAPK pathways, thereby facilitating GEECs proliferation and suppressing their apoptosis in vitro. Collectively, we constructed a new circRNA3669-miR-26aRCN2 regulatory network in GEECs, which further provides strong evidence that circRNA could potentially play a crucial regulatory role in the development of RE in goats. | Xiaorui Liu Jiuzeng Cui Mengyao Wei Xiaofei Wang Yuexia Liu Zhongshi Zhu Min Zhou Gui Ba Langda Suo Yuxuan Song Lei Zhang | 2024 | Journal of Integrative Agriculture2024,23,3: | 0 |
| 8 | Timing and Single-pulse Study of Pulsar J1909+0122 Discovered by CRAFTS显示文摘We report the discovery of PSR J1909+0122 by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope(FAST)as part of the Commensal Radio Astronomy FAST Survey.PSR J1909+0122 has a spin period of 1.257 s and a dispersion measure of 186.2 pc cm^(-3).The averaged pulse profile shows two distinct components.We performed a single-pulse study based on a one-hour observation at 1.25 GHz on 2021 August 23.We used a threshold of 5σ_(ep) to measure the nulling fraction(NF)as 63%±1.5%.The longitude-resolved fluctuation spectra and fast Fourier transform spectra of the binary sequences revealed the quasi-periodicity of nulling with a period of 30 rotation periods.We examined the reliability of the periodicity by comparing it to random noise injection.The NF,E,and modulation periodicity P_(M) of PSR J1909+0122 were compared with other periodic nulling pulsars,showing that the source of J1909+0122 has the second largest NF in the population.Long-term timing observations over six months were used to derive the phase-connected ephemeris of this pulsar.The measured P and P values disfavor dipolar geometry for polar gap models,and the prediction for a space-charge-limited flow model in the case of inverse Compton scattering is only just above the death line.In this work,PSR J1909+0122 has revealed possible correlations between nulling behavior and pulsar properties,which will help to shed light on the pulsar emission mechanism and its temporal evolution in future observations. | Yutong Chen Pei Wang Di Li Erbil Gügercinoğlu Rushuang Zhao Lingqi Meng Jianping Yuan Jiarui Niu Weiwei Zhu Yi Feng Chenchen Miao Chenhui Niu Qingdong Wu Na Wang Shen Wang Xiaoyao Xie Mengyao Xue Jumei Yao Mao Yuan Shanping You Xuhong Yu Youling Yue Jie Zhang Junshuo Zhang Lei Zhang Yabiao Wang Zhenye Gan Yuxi Li Zhongyi Sun Chengjie Wang | 2023 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2023,23,8: | 0 |
| 9 | Recent advances in flexible alkaline zinc-based batteries:Materials,structures,and perspectives显示文摘The development of wearable electronic systems has generated increasing demand for flexible power sources.Alkaline zinc(Zn)-based batteries,as one of the most mature energy storage technologies,have been considered as a promising power source owing to their exceptional safety,low costs,and outstanding electrochemical performance.However,the conventional alkaline Zn-based battery systems face many challenges associated with electrodes and electrolytes,causing low capacity,poor cycle life,and inferior mechanical performance.Recent advances in materials and structure design have enabled the revisitation of the alkaline Zn-based battery technology for applications in flexible electronics.Herein,we summarize the up-to-date works in flexible alkaline Zn-based batteries and analyze the strategies employed to improve battery performance.Firstly,we introduce the three most reported cathode materials(including Ag-based,Ni-based,and Co-based materials)for flexible alkaline Zn-based batteries.Then,challenges and modifications in battery anodes are investigated.Thirdly,the recently advanced gel electrolytes are introduced from their properties,functions as well as advanced fabrications.Finally,recent works and the advantages of sandwich-type,fiber-type and thin film-type flexible batteries are summarized and compared.This review provides insights and guidance for the design of high-performance flexible Zn-based batteries for next-generation electronics. | Yanzhe Zhu Peiyuan Guan Renbo Zhu Shuo Zhang Ziheng Feng Mengyao Li Tao Wan Long Hu Yunjian Liu Qin Li Juan Yu Dewei Chu | 2023 | Journal of Energy Chemistry2023,,12: | 0 |

| 11 | A Network Security Risk Assessment Method Based on a B_NAG Model显示文摘Computer networks face a variety of cyberattacks.Most network attacks are contagious and destructive,and these types of attacks can be harmful to society and computer network security.Security evaluation is an effective method to solve network security problems.For accurate assessment of the vulnerabilities of computer networks,this paper proposes a network security risk assessment method based on a Bayesian network attack graph(B_NAG)model.First,a new resource attack graph(RAG)and the algorithm E-Loop,which is applied to eliminate loops in the B_NAG,are proposed.Second,to distinguish the confusing relationships between nodes of the attack graph in the conversion process,a related algorithm is proposed to generate the B_NAG model.Finally,to analyze the reachability of paths in B_NAG,the measuring indexs such as node attack complexity and node state transition are defined,and an iterative algorithm for obtaining the probability of reaching the target node is presented.On this basis,the posterior probability of related nodes can be calculated.A simulation environment is set up to evaluate the effectiveness of the B_NAG model.The experimental results indicate that the B_NAG model is realistic and effective in evaluating vulnerabilities of computer networks and can accurately highlight the degree of vulnerability in a chaotic relationship. | Hui Wang Chuanhan Zhu Zihao Shen Dengwei Lin Kun Liu MengYao Zhao | 2021 | Computer Systems Science & Engineering2021,38,7: | 0 |
| 12 | Genome-wide identification and comparative analysis of Cry toxin receptor families in 7 insect species with a focus on Spodoptera litura显示文摘Cadherin,aminopeptidase N(APN)and alkaline phosphatase(ALP)have been characterized as Cry receptors.In this study,comparative genomic analysis of the 3 receptor families was performed in 7 insects.ALPs and APNs are divided into three and eight clades in phylogenetic trees,respectively.ALPs in clade 3 and APNs in clade 1 contain multiple paralogs within each species and most paralogs are located closely in chromosomes.Drosophila melanogaster has expanded APNs in clade 5 and were lowly expressed in midgut.Cadherins are divided into 16 clades;they may diverge before holometabolous insect speciation except for BtR and Cad89D-like clades.Eight insects from different orders containing BtR orthologs are sensitive to Cryl A or Cry3A,while five species without BtR are insensitive to both toxins.Most APNs in clade 1,several ALPs in clade 3,BtR and Cad89D-like genes were highly or moderately expressed in larval midgut of Spodoptera litura and the other six species,and several members in these clades have been identi-•fied as Cry receptors.Expressions of putative 5.litura Cry receptors in the midgut after exposing to Bt toxins were also analyzed. | Qilin Li Mengge Li Mengyao Zhu Jielai Zhong Liang Wen Jie Zhang Ruonan Zhang Qiang Gao Xiao-Qiang Yu Yuzhen Lu | 2022 | Insect Science2022,29,3: | 0 |
| 13 | Pulsar Discovery Prospect of FASTA显示文摘The Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope(FAST)has discovered more than 650 new pulsars,which account for 20%of our known Galactic pulsar population.In this paper,we estimate the prospect of a pulsar survey with a radio telescope array to be planned—the FAST Array(FASTA),consists of six“FAST-type”telescopes.Such a sensitive radio telescope array would be a powerful instrument in probing the pulsar population deep into our Galaxy as well as in nearby galaxies.We simulate the FASTA pulsar discovery prospects with different Galactic pulsar population models and instrumental parameter combinations.We find that FASTA could detect tens of thousands of canonical pulsars and well-over thousands of millisecond pulsars.We also estimate the potential yield if the FASTA is used to search for pulsars from the nearby spiral galaxy M31,and find that it would probably discover around a hundred new radio pulsars. | Mengyao Xue Weiwei Zhu Xiangping Wu Renxin Xu Hongguang Wang | 2023 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2023,23,9: | 0 |
| 14 | Constructing cactus-like mixed dimensional MOF@MOF as sorbent for extraction of bisphenols from environmental water显示文摘Metal-organic frameworks(MOFs)received considerable attention to adsorption and removal of various environmental pollutants because of some inherent advantages.However,it is challenging but meaningful to design and fabricate hierarchical mixed-dimensional MOFs with synergistic effects to enhance the performance for removal and preconcentration of environmental pollutants.Herein,a new hierarchical two-dimensional(2D)-three-dimensional(3D)mixed-dimensional cactus-like MOF@MOF hybrid material(PCN-134@Zr-BTB)was prepared by in-situ growth of 2D MOF nanosheets(Zr-BTB)on the surface of 3D MOF(PCN-134).The PCN-134@Zr-BTB composites combine the advantages of 2D and 3D MOFs with extensive mesoporous structures and large surface area for effective removal and enrichment of bisphenols(BPs).In comparison with pristine PCN-134 and Zr-BTB materials,the PCN-134@Zr-BTB hybrid material presented excellent adsorption performance for BPs.The adsorption isotherms are consistent with the Langmuir model,and the maximum adsorption capacity of four bisphenols(BPs)ranged from 135.1 mg/g to 628.9 mg/g.The adsorption kinetics are in accordance with the pseudo-second-order model.The recoveries ranged from 72.8%to 108%.The limits of detection were calculated at 0.02-0.03 ng/mL.The enrichment factors were calculated in the range of 310-374.According to FT-IR and XPS analysis,the main adsorption mechanisms are hydrogen bonding and π-π stacking.Nevertheless,this work provides a new and convenient strategy for the preparation of new hierarchical mixed-dimensional MOF@MOF(PCN-134@Zr-BTB)hybrid material for extraction and enrichment of BPs from aqueous matrix. | Peige Qin Shiping Zhu Mengyao Mu Yanmei Gao Zongwei Cai Minghua Lu | 2023 | Chinese Chemical Letters2023,34,12: | 0 |
| 15 | Adsorption of glycine at the anatase TiO_(2)/water interface: Effects of Ca^(2+) ions显示文摘Adsorption reactions of amino acids(AAs)on TiO_(2) nanoparticles(NPs)play an important role in the available nutrients in soils and sediments.The pH effects on glycine adsorption have been studied,but little is known about its coadsorption with Ca^(2+)at the molecular level.Combined attenuated total reflectance Fourier transform infrared(ATR-FTIR)flow-cell measurements and density functional theory(DFT)calculationswere used to determine the surface complex and corresponding dynamic adsorption/desorption processes.The structures of glycine adsorbed onto TiO_(2) were closely associated with its dissolved species in the solution phase.The presence of Ca^(2+)exerted different influences on glycine adsorption within pH 4−11,thus affecting its migration rate in soils and sediments.The mononuclear bidentate complex at pH 4−7,involving the COO−moiety of zwitterionic glycine,remained unchanged in the absence and presence of Ca^(2+).At pH 11,the mononuclear bidentate complex with deprotonated NH2 can be removed from the TiO_(2) surface upon coadsorption with Ca^(2+).The bonding strength of glycine on TiO_(2) was much weaker than that of the Ca-bridged ternary surface complexation.Glycine adsorption was inhibited at pH 4 but was enhanced at pH 7 and 11. | Yanli Yang Jiaqi Liu Mengyao Zhu Shengping Dou Lei Ding | 2023 | Journal of Environmental Sciences2023,,6: | 0 |
| 16 | One-Pot Preparation of Highly Dispersed Second Near-Infrared J-Aggregate Nanoparticles Based on FD-1080 Cyanine Dye for Bioimaging and Biosensing显示文摘Bioimaging and biosensing in the second nearinfrared(NIR-II)window have attracted great attention due to their unprecedented high temporal–spatial resolution,sensitivity,and penetration depth.Although some organic fluorescence dyes have been developed in this window,it is still a great challenge to synthesize hydrophilic organic contrast agents with both absorbance and emission wavelengths beyond 1300 nm.J-aggregation is a facile pathway to achieve the wavelength red-shift of organic dyes to the NIR-II window and simultaneously improve their hydrophilicity.Here,we report FD-1080 J-aggregates(FD-J)with absorbance of 1360 nm and emission of 1370 nm through heating H-aggregated FD-1080 cyanine dyes in an aqueous solution.With FD-J administration,real-time imaging of mice brain and hindlimb vasculatures can be performed beyond 1500 nm.Meanwhile,arterial and venous vessels can be clearly distinguished through dynamic imaging after injection of FD-J.In addition,reactive oxygen species-responsive NIR-II ratiometric fluorescence sensors were available based on FD-J and lanthanide nanoparticles to enable the detection of inflammation in living mice. | Caixia Sun Mengyao Zhao Xinyan Zhu Peng Pei Fan Zhang | 2022 | CCS Chemistry2022,4,2: | 0 |
| 17 | Single-pulse Emission Variation of Two Pulsars Discovered by FAST显示文摘We investigate the single-pulse emission variations of two pulsars,PSRs J0211+4235 and J0553+4111,observed with the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope at the 1.25 GHz central frequency.The observation sessions span from 2020 December to 2021 July,with 21 and 22 observations for them respectively.The integrated pulse profile of PSR J0211+4235 shows that there is a weak pulse component following the main component,and PSR J0553+4111 displays a bimodal profile with a bridge component in the middle.PSR J0211+4235 presents significant nulling phenomenon with nulling duration lasting from 2 to 115 pulses and burst duration lasting from 2 to 113 pulses.The NF of each observation is determined to be 45%-55%.No emission greater than threeσis found in the mean integrated profile of all nulling pulses.In most cases,the pulse energy changes abruptly during the transition from null to burst,while in the transition from burst to null there are two trends:abrupt and gradual.We find that the nulling phenomenon of PSR J0211+4235 is periodic by the Fourier transform of the null and burst state.In addition,the single-pulse modulation characteristics of these two pulsars are investigated,and the distributions of modulation index,LRFS and 2DFS are analyzed with PSRSALSA.The left peak of PSR J0553+4111 has intensity modulation.Finally,the polarization properties of these two pulsars are obtained through polarization calibration,and their characteristics are analyzed.The possible physical mechanisms of these phenomena are discussed. | Ziping Guo Zhigang Wen Jianping Yuan Feifei Kou Qingdong Wu Na Wang Weiwei Zhu Di Li Mengyao Xue Pei Wang Chenchen Miao De Zhao Yue Hu Wenming Yan Jiarui Niu Rukiye Rejep Zhipeng Huang | 2023 | Research in Astronomy and Astrophysics2023,23,7: | 0 |
| 18 | Genome-wide identification and characterization of basic helix-loop-helix transcription factors in Spodoptera litura upon pathogen infection显示文摘Basic helix-loop-helix(bHLH)transcription factors play an important role in a wide range of metabolic and developmental processes in eukaryotes,and bHLH proteins also participate in immune responses,especially in plants.However,their roles in insects upon entomopathogen infection are unknown.In this study,54 bHLH genes in 41 families were identified in a polyphagous pest,Spodoptera litura,including a new bHLH gene in group B,which is specifically present in Lepidoptera and was thus named Lep.The conserved amino acids in the bHLH domain,structural architecture,and chromosomal distribution of bHLH genes in S.litura were analyzed.The bHLH genes in Plutella xylostella and Apis mellifera were also updated,and genome-wide comparison and phylogenetic analysis of bHLH members in 5 holometabolous insects were performed.The expression profiles of S.litura bHLH(SlbHLH)genes in 3 tissues at different developmental stages and their responses to S.litura nucleopolyhedrovirus(SpltNPV),Nomuraea rileyi(Nr),and Bacillus thuringiensis(Bt)infection were investigated.More SlbHLHs in group B were expressed and differentially expressed during pathogen infections,and SlbHLHs tended to be downregulated in the midgut of S.litura larvae after B.thuringiensis treatment.Our study provides an overview of bHLH family members in S.litura and their responses to different pathogens used for pest biocontrol.These findings on bHLH members may contribute to uncovering the mechanism of host-pathogen interaction. | Jie Zhang Mengyao Zhu Qilin Li Ting Tang Liang Wen Jielai Zhong Ruonan Zhang Xiao-Qiang Yu Yuzhen Lu | 2022 | Insect Science2022,29,4: | 0 |
| 19 | Effects of two vectors on the expression of the NbNAC1 transcription factor and preparation of its polyclonal antibody显示文摘The NAC(NAM,ATAF,and CUC)superfamily is one of the largest plant-specific families containing transcription factors.An increasing number of studies suggest that NAC1 is involved in plants response to different biotic and abiotic stimulis.Nicotiana benthamiana is a widely used system for evaluating plant-pathogen interactions.In order to study the biochemical function of NbNAC1,NbNAC1 protein and antibody are essential.Therefore,we focused on developing a prokaryotic expression system for producing the Nicotiana benthamiana NbNAC1 protein of in Escherichia coli and the preparation of its polyclonal antibody.Firstly,we constructed two different molecular weight prokaryotic expression vectors:pGE vector with GST tag(pGEX4T-1–NbNAC1)and pET expression vector with His tag(pET28a-NbNAC1).The NbNAC1 protein can be successfully expressed in both vectors.The His-tagged NbNAC1 proteins are insoluble,while the GST-tagged NbNAC1 proteins are partially soluble.We then successfully purified and enriched both proteins.The His-tagged NbNAC1 was chosen to immunize rabbits owing to an unknown protein accompanying the GST-tagged NbNAC1.The anti-NbNAC1 polyclonal antibody had good specificity and could be used in subsequent protein-related studies. | FENG ZHU QINQIN ZHANG YANGKAI ZHOU QIPING ZHANG MENGYAO CAO ZHAOLIN JI | 2022 | BIOCELL2022,46,9: | 0 |
| 20 | Research on Composting and Substrate Utilization of Garden Waste显示文摘[Objectives]This study was conducted to investigate how to use garden waste resources.[Methods]With garden waste as a raw material for composting treatment,the effects of adding starters on the decomposing effects of garden waste were investigated,and the changes in temperature and microorganisms during the decomposing process were analyzed.On this basis,the compost products were used to partially replace peat to make pepper seedling substrates,so as to further confirm the possibility of the use of compost products as substrates.[Results]Adding organic material starter or biological bacterial fertilizer starter could help garden waste to decompose and accelerate the composting process;and making seedling substrates by using garden waste compost products to partially replace peat could significantly improve the emergence rate,strong seedling index and fresh weight of pepper.The compost products fermented with the two kinds of starters had better substitution effects and higher seedling quality indexes.[Conclusions]This study provides a scientific basis for the substrate utilization of garden waste. | Jiaomeng ZHANG Mei CHEN Mengyao ZHU Wenwen YU Junchi YAO Xiuya XU Xuqin REN | 2021 | Agricultural Biotechnology2021,10,4: | 0 |
