文摘In China,Xinjiang is a relatively independent epidemic region of wheat stripe rust,caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici,due to great population genetic divergence of Xinjiang with other inland epidemic regions.In this region,race evolution was usually slower than inland populations.However,many new races have recently been found,and therefore,it is necessary for more understanding of the virulence evolution of the Xinjiang population.So,in this study,a 65 sexual progenies,derived from a Xinjiang single-urediospore isolate BGTB-1 of P.striiformis f.sp.tritici by selfing on alternate host barberry(Berberis aggregata).It was phenotyped on the 25 single Yr lines,and genotyped by 19 kompetitive allele-specific PCRsingle nucleotide polymorphism(KASP-SNP) markers.As a result,the 65 progenies were identified as 56 various virulence patterns(VPs),and neither of which was identical to the parental isolate,showed 100% virulence variation.Compared with the parental isolate,of all progenies,39(60.0%) had increased virulence,and 18(27.7%) had decreased virulence.All progenies exhibited avirulence to Yr10,Yr15,Yr32,and YrTr1 loci,and avirulence and virulence segregation at the remaining 21 Yr resistance loci.The results showed avirulence to Yr5,Yr7,and Yr76(A:V≈3:1) loci is controlled by a single dominant gene,and that to Yr6,Yr25,and Yr44(A:V≈1:3) loci by a single recessive gene.However,avirulence to the remaining 15 resistant loci including Yr1,Yr2,Yr3,Yr4,Yr8,Yr9,Yr17,Yr26(=Yr24),Yr28,Yr29,Yr43,YrSP,Yr27,YrA,and YrExp2,with various avirulence and virulence segregation ratios,is controlled by two genes with different gene effects,indicating complex genetic traits of the parental isolate.Totally,65 dissimilar genotypes detected among progenies using overall molecular markers,by which a linkage map was constructed,with a genetic distance of 441.0 cM.Interestingly,although the parental isolate was avirulent to Yr5,but 17 progenies showed virulence,showing the change of pathogenicity from avirulence to virulence at this resistance locus.It was for the first time to report that progenies with virulence to Yr5 produced sexually from avirulent parental isolate at this resistance locus.To our knowledge,this study offers an insight into inheritance,sexual reproduction and virulence variation of P.striiformis f.sp.tritici in Xinjiang,facilitating us to understand evolution of the rust pathogen in this region and accounting for Xinjiang population distinguished form other inland populations.Additionally,it is necessary to further confirm the roles of sexual reproduction in the emergence of new races and affecting population genetic diversity of P.striiformis f.sp.tritici under natural conditions in Xinjiang.

文摘Waterborne acrylic coatings are widely utilized due to their cost-effectiveness,high transparency,strong resistance to weather and chemicals,impressive mechanical properties,and excellent adhesion to various substrates.In these coatings,a reactive emulsifier containing phosphate groups can be integrated into the molecular chain during polymerization,which enhances the coating's compactness and corrosion resistance.This work focuses on the synthesis of styrene-butyl acrylate(St-BA)latex and methyl methacrylate-butyl acrylate(MMA-BA)latex using the reactive phosphate emulsifier ANPEO_(10)-P_(1) through seed emulsion polymerization,achieving a conversion rate of approximately 99%and a solid content close to 50%.The resulting coatings from St-BA and MMA-BA latexes demonstrated long-term corrosion protection for carbon steel and aluminum alloy due to in-situ phosphatization,effectively preventing flash rust.Notably,the MMA-BA coating exhibited remarkable durability,enduring immersion for up to 1224 h(51 d)on Q 235 carbon steel before reaching the failure threshold(|Z|0.01 Hz£106Ω·cm^(2))on Q 235 carbon steel.On 5052 aluminum alloy,the St-BA coating maintained|Z|0.01 Hz>10^(8)Ω·cm^(2) for 480 h(20 d).Furthermore,the corrosion resistance of St-BA and MMA BA coatings on Q 235 steel sheet and 5052 aluminum alloy surpassed that of commercially available MMA-BA and St BA coatings after immersion in a 3.5 wt%NaCl aqueous solution.This work also delves into the anticorrosion mechanism of MMA-BA and St-BA coatings.

文摘The crevice corrosion of the reinforcing steel in the carbonated simulated concrete pore solutions(SCPSs)containing 0.04 mol/L chloride was investigated.In comparison,the steel without crevice covered on its surface was also studied.Results showed that the crevice corrosion in the uncarbonated SCPS was not triggered and the steel remained passivity by suppressing the anodic dissolution in the crevice interior.As SCPS was carbonated to have pH values of 10.5 and 11.5,the crevice corrosion was easier to be activated than the widely reported pitting corrosion owing to the rapid oxygen depletion within the crevice,but the crevice corrosion damage might be alleviated to a certain extent due to the relative compact surface film formed inside the crevice.The further carbonation led to the activation dissolution of both the crevice interior and exterior,causing the more serious corrosion damage.Corrosion process of the crevice corrosion was systematically analyzed by combining the electrochemical measurement results and Evens polarization diagram.
文摘Dibromoethane is a widespread,persistent organic pollutant.Biochars are known mediators of reductive dehalogenation by layered Fe^(Ⅱ)-Fe^(Ⅲ)hydroxides(green rust),which can reduce 1,2-dibromoethane to innocuous bromide and ethylene.However,the critical characteristics that determine mediator functionality are lesser known.Fifteen biochar substrates were pyrolyzed at 600℃and 800℃,characterized by elemental analysis,X-ray photo spectrometry C and N surface speciation,X-ray powder diffraction,specific surface area analysis,and tested for mediation of reductive debromination of 1,2-dibromoethane by a green rust reductant under anoxic conditions.A statistical analysis was performed to determine the biochar properties,critical for debromination kinetics and total debromination extent.It was shown that selected plant based biochars can mediate debromination of 1,2-dibromoethane,that the highest first order rate constant was 0.082/hr,and the highest debromination extent was 27%in reactivity experiments with 0.1μmol(20μmol/L)1,2-dibromoethane,≈22 mmol/L Fe^(Ⅱ)GR,and 0.12 g/L soybean meal biochar(7 days).Contents of Ni,Zn,N,and P,and the relative contribution of quinone surface functional groups were significantly(p<0.05)positively correlated with 1,2-dibromoethane debromination,while adsorption,specific surface area,and the relative contribution of pyridinic N oxide surface groups were significantly negatively correlated with debromination.

文摘The rust layer is a critical factor in determining the corrosion resistance performance of weathering bridge steel.Understanding the evolution mechanism of this rust layer is fundamental for the design and optimization of such steel.This study investigates the evolu-tion of the rust layer on high-Cr-content weathering bridge steel,using an atmospheric corrosion monitoring(ACM)sensor and big data mining techniques in a simulated tropical marine atmosphere.Results reveal that the protective properties of the rust layer follow a peri-odic pattern of“ascending–constant”rather than a continuous ascending.Correlation analysis indicates that this phenomenon is attributed to the introduction of Cr,which promotes the formation of FeCr_(2)O_(4) in the rust layer.FeCr_(2)O_(4) helps prevent chloride ions from penetrating the rust layer,exerting a protective effect.These findings provide a strong scientific foundation for the design and improvement of new high-Cr-content weathering bridge steels.

文摘Aegilops variabilis(S^(v)S^(v)U^(v)U^(v))is a source of resistance to wheat stripe rust.The phKL locus in Chinese common wheat landrace Kaixian-Luohanmai(KL)can induce homoeologous wheat-alien chromosome pairing and recombination.In this study,we confirmed that the whole 2S^(v)chromosome introgressed into wheat from Ae.variabilis accession AS116 conferred all-stage stripe rust resistance.The underlying gene(s),named YrAev,was mapped to the long arm 2S^(v)L using an F_(2)population.Two 2S^(v)-2B recombinants,derived from a cross of the 2S^(v)(2B)chromosome substitution line and KL,were confirmed to harbor the resistance locus.The physical region containing YrAev,determined from RNA-seq data,was 844.6-852.1 Mb on the chromosome arm 2S^(l)of the Ae.longissima(S^(v)genome donor species of Ae.variabilis)accession TL05 assembly v1.0.Differential gene expression analysis of post-inoculation with the Pst race has indicated two disease-resistance-related genes(annotated as mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein and nucleotide-binding leucine-rich repeat like protein,respectively)as promising candidates for YrAev.This study demonstrates the utility of the phKL gene system in alien gene localization and transfer.The resistant translocation line harboring YrAev can be exploited by wheat breeders as a novel source of resistance to stripe rust.

文摘Southern corn rust(SCR)is an airborne fungal disease caused by Puccinia polysora Underw.(P.polysora)that adversely impacts maize quality and yields worldwide.Screening for new elite SCR-resistant maize loci or genes has the potential to enhance overall resistance to this pathogen.Using phenotypic SCR resistance-related data collected over two years and three geographical environments,a genome-wide association study was carried out in this work,which eventually identified 91 loci that were substantially correlated with SCR susceptibility.These included 13 loci that were significant in at least three environments and overlapped with 74 candidate genes(B73_RefGen_v4).Comparative transcriptomic analyses were then performed to identify the genes related to SCR infection,with 2,586 and 797 differentially expressed genes(DEGs)ultimately being identified in the resistant Qi319and susceptible 8112 inbred lines following P.polysora infection,respectively,including 306 genes common to both lines.Subsequent integrative multi-omics investigations identified four potential candidate SCR response-related genes.One of these genes is ZmHCT9,which encodes the protein hydroxycinnamoyl transferase 9.This gene was up-regulated in susceptible inbred lines and linked to greater P.polysora resistance as confirmed through cucumber mosaic virus(CMV)-based virus induced-gene silencing(VIGS)system-mediated gene silencing.These data provide important insights into the genetic basis of the maize SCR response.They will be useful for for future research on potential genes related to SCR resistance in maize.

文摘Yellow rust(Puccinia striiformis f.sp.Tritici,YR)and fusarium head blight(Fusarium graminearum,FHB)are the two main diseases affecting wheat in the main grain-producing areas of East China,which is common for the two diseases to appear simultaneously in some main production areas.It is necessary to discriminate wheat YR and FHB at the regional scale to accurately locate the disease in space,conduct detailed disease severity monitoring,and scientific control.Four images on different dates were acquired from Sentinel-2,Landsat-8,and Gaofen-1 during the critical period of winter wheat,and 22 remote sensing features that characterize the wheat growth status were then calculated.Meanwhile,6 meteorological parameters that reflect the wheat phenological information were also obtained by combining the site meteorological data and spatial interpolation technology.Then,the principal components(PCs)of comprehensive remote sensing and meteorological features were extracted with principal component analysis(PCA).The PCs-based discrimination models were established to map YR and FHB damage using the random forest(RF)and backpropagation neural network(BPNN).The models’performance was verified based on the disease field truth data(57 plots during the filling period)and 5-fold cross-validation.The results revealed that the PCs obtained after PCA dimensionality reduction outperformed the initial features(IFs)from remote sensing and meteorology in discriminating between the two diseases.Compared to the IFs,the average area under the curve for both micro-average and macro-average ROC curves increased by 0.07 in the PCs-based RF models and increased by 0.16 and 0.13,respectively,in the PCs-based BPNN models.Notably,the PCs-based BPNN discrimination model emerged as the most effective,achieving an overall accuracy of 83.9%.Our proposed discrimination model for wheat YR and FHB,coupled with multi-source remote sensing images and meteorological data,overcomes the limitations of a single-sensor and single-phase remote sensing information in multiple stress discrimination in cloudy and rainy areas.It performs well in revealing the damage spatial distribution of the two diseases at a regional scale,providing a basis for detailed disease severity monitoring,and scientific prevention and control.

文摘The intensification of global warming has led to the continuous outbreak of southern rust(Puccinia polysora Underw.)in major maize-producing regions worldwide.The severe outbreak in the Huang-Huai-Hai summer maize region of China in 2021 caused yield losses exceeding 50%in some plots,and this disease has been included in the List of Key Crop Pests and Diseases.This paper systematically reviews the molecular resistance mechanisms of maize to southern rust,focusing on the immune mechanisms mediated by NLR family genes and the characteristics of the Bin 10.01 resistance gene cluster;it summarizes the advances in research of molecular breeding technologies such as gene marker development,map-based cloning,and gene editing;combined with the disease characteristics of the spring-sown maize region in Southwest China and the summer-sown maize region in Huang-Huai-Hai,it elaborates on regionally adapted prevention and control strategies;integrating breeding practices of Dunhuang Seed Industry Group(e.g.,Dunyu 810 and Dunyan 616),it proposes a full-chain solution of"precision gene pyramiding-heterotic group utilization-regional promotion".It is expected to provide theoretical and technical references for molecular breeding of maize resistance to southern rust.

文摘Barley(Hordeum vulgare L.)is a significant global crop that thrives in various climatic and drought-stress conditions.Furthermore,increased drought intervals and more significant weather variability resulting from climate change can affect the severity of plant diseases.Therefore,two primary objectives of integrated disease management regarding climate change are identifying cultivars resistant to foliar diseases and understanding disease progression under abiotic stress.In the current study,we assessed the quantitative foliar disease resistance of 17 commercial barley cultivars under both normal and water stress conditions over two growing seasons(from 2020/21 to 2021/22).The findings demonstrated a reduced incidence of foliar fungal diseases(leaf rust,net blotch,and powdery mildew)under severe drought stress relative to standard irrigated field conditions.The barley cultivars(Giza 130,Giza 131,and Giza 133)demonstrated significant differences across all disease resistance indices.In addition,the study aimed to molecularly characterize 17 commercial barley varieties using single-cell DNA testing(SCoT)to identify genetic polymorphism and specific markers for each genotype.Eight SCoT primers were employed to investigate the genetic polymorphism among 17 barley varieties.Furthermore,these cultivars exhibited optimal performance for the majority of agricultural attributes examined,both under normal and water-stressed conditions.

文摘Wheat stripe rust,a devastating disease caused by the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici(Pst),poses a significant threat to global wheat production.Growing resistant cultivars is a crucial strategy for wheat stripe rust management.However,the underlying molecular mechanisms of wheat resistance to Pst remain incompletely understood.To unravel these mechanisms,we employed high-throughput RNA sequencing(RNA-Seq)to analyze the transcriptome of the resistant wheat cultivar Mianmai 46(MM46)at different time points(24,48,and 96 h)post-inoculation with the Pst race CYR33.The analysis revealed that Pst infection significantly altered the expression of genes involved in photosynthesis and energy metabolism,suggesting a disruption of host cellular processes.Conversely,the expression of several resistance genes was upregulated,indicating activation of defense responses.Further analysis identified transcription factors(TFs),pathogen-related(PR)proteins,and chitinase-encoding genes as key players in wheat resistance to Pst.These genes likely contribute to the activation of defense pathways,such as the oxidative burst,which involves the production of reactive oxygen species(ROS).The activities of antioxidant enzymes,including peroxidase(POD),superoxide dismutase(SOD),and catalase(CAT),were also upregulated,suggesting a role in mitigating oxidative damage caused by ROS.Our findings provide valuable insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying wheat resistance to Pst.By identifying key genes and pathways involved in this complex interaction,we can develop more effective strategies for breeding resistant wheat cultivars and managing this destructive disease.

文摘Frame blades were used to replace traditional propeller blades to enhance the leaching step efficiency of Becher process.A combined approach of leaching,electrochemical experiments,and numerical simulations was employed.Results demonstrate a significant improvement in leaching efficiency using frame blades compared to propellers,reducing reaction time from 15 to 10 h.Even at a stirring speed of 300 r/min,frame blades perform better than propellers at 500 r/min.Kinetics analysis indicates that the leaching process is controlled by surface chemical reactions.CFD-PBM simulations reveal that frame blades at 300 r/min generate larger bubbles and higher turbulent kinetic energy than propeller blades at 500 r/min.Frame blades enhance leaching efficiency by refining bubble size to improve oxygen mass transfer and by increasing turbulent kinetic energy for better mixing.
