Abstract:The indica rice cultivar, Teqing, shows a high level of resistance to rice stripe virus (RSV). It is believed that this resistance is controlled by the gene, qSTV11TQ. For positional cloning of the resistance gene, a set of chromosome single segment substitution lines (CSSSLs) was constructed, all of which had the genetic background of the susceptible japonica cultivar, Lemont, with different single substituted segments of Teqing on chromosome 11. By identifying the resistance of the CSSSLs-2006 in a field within a heavily diseased area, the resistance gene qSTV11TQ was mapped between the markers Indel7 and RM229. Furthermore, in that region, six new markers were developed and 52 subregion CSSSLs (CSSSLs-2007) were constructed. The natural infection experiment was conducted again at different sites, with two replicates used in each site in order to identify the resistance phenotypes of the CSSSLs-2007 and resistant/susceptible controls in 2007. Through the results of 2007, qSTV11TQ was localized in a region defined by the markers, CAPs1 and Indel4. In order to further confirm the position of qSTV11TQ, another set of subregion CSSSLs (CSSSLs-2009) was constructed. Finally, qSTV11TQ was localized to a 55.7 kb region containing nine annotated genes according to the genome sequence of japonica Nipponbare. The relationship between qSTV11TQ and Stvb-i (Hayano-Saito et al. in Theor Appl Genet 101:59-63, 2000) and the reliability of the markers used on both sides of qSTV11TQ for marker-assisted breeding of resistance to rice stripe disease are discussed. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.

Abstract:By introducing a homogeneous piezoelectric material and its Green's function, we present a new semi-analytical three-dimensional perturbation method for general inhomogeneity problems in anisotropic and piezoelectric solids. This method removes the limitations associated with previous analytical methods, which often ignore the anisotropic properties or the difference between the material properties of the inhomogeneity and its surrounding matrix. As an important application, the proposed theory is employed to calculate the elastic and electric fields in a truncated pyramidal InAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) nanostructure. Numerical results demonstrate that the anisotropy of the materials and the difference between the material constants of the QD and the matrix have a significant influence on the strain and electric fields. The relative differences of the strain and electric field inside the QD between the simplified isotropic and homogeneous model and the real anisotropic and heterogeneous one may reach 22% and 53%, respectively. The accuracy of the calculated elastic strain and electric fields is improved greatly by a second order approximate solution (OAS). Since the third OAS nearly coincides with the second one, good convergence of the iteration procedure is demonstrated. Moreover, contours of the hydrostatic strain and electric potential within and around the QD are also presented and analyzed. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Abstract:Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) functionalized with carboxylic acid groups were cast to glassy carbon electrode (GCE) to construct a three-dimensional nano-micro structured scaffold. Brilliant cresyl blue (BCB) was electropolymerized on the above-mentioned SWCNTs/GCE using continuous cycling between -0.7 and 0.9 V vs. SCE. PolyBCB yielded on SWCNTs/GCE exhibited the enhanced electrochemical redox behavior compared with that electrogenerated on bare GCE. The apparent surface coverage of PolyBCB obtained by SWCNTs/GCE was at least 10 times higher than that obtained by bare GCE, namely 4.8 × 10-9 and 3.6 × 10-10 mol cm-2. The cyclic voltammograms recorded by PolyBCB/SWCNTs/GCE exhibited well-defined two peaks located at -0.25 V and -0.06 V, respectively, with a surface-controlled mechanism. In addition, morphologies of PolyBCB electrogenerated on GCE and SWCNTS/GCE were characterized by atomic force microscopy. Finally, this proposed PolyBCB/SWCNTs/GCE was used in the construction of the second-generation biosensors to hydrogen peroxide and glucose, with the enhanced analytical performance. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract:The cycloaddition reactions of N-heterocyclic silylenes 1-4 with ethylene (C2H4) and formaldehyde (CH2O) molecules were performed at the MP2/6-31G** level of theory, respectively. Full optimizations and frequency analyses were done for the stationary points on the potential energy surface. The intrinsic reaction coordinate (IRC) was also calculated for all the transition states at the same level of theory. The possible cycloaddition mechanisms were investigated and results from various reactions were compared in detail. The theoretical results indicated that the cycloaddition reactions of N-heterocyclic silylenes with C2H 4 and CH2O proceeded through a concerted mechanism to form a three-membered ring containing C1, C2 (O), and Si atoms in the products, which was similar to those of simple silylene H2Si. Silylenes 1-4 exhibit some electrophilicity toward C2H4 whereas nucleophilicity toward CH2O leading to the reaction process. Based on the reaction energy barrier and the exothermic energy, the reaction activities of saturated silylene (2) were stronger than those of unsaturated silylenes (1, 3, and 4). © 2010 Elsevier B.V.
