Here, we show thatmutation in SL02 causes hypersensitivity to ABA and insensitivity to ethylene, suggesting a link with stress responses.Indeed, slo2 mutants are hypersensitive to salt and osmotic stress during the germination stage, while adult plantsshow increased drought and salt tolerance. Moreover, slo2 mutants are more susceptible to Botrytis cinerea infection.An increased expression of nuclear-encoded stress-responsive genes, as well as mitochondrial-encoded NAD genes ofcomplex I and genes of the alternative respiratory pathway, was observed in slo2 mutants, further enhanced by ABAtreatment. In addition, H202 accumulation and altered amino acid levels were recorded in slo2 mutants. We conclude thatSLO2 is required for plant sensitivity to ABA, ethylene, biotic, and abiotic stress. Although two stress-related RNA editingfactors were reported very recently, this study demonstrates a unique role of SLO2, and further supports a link betweenmitochondrial RNA editing events and stress response.展开更多

An organic-inorganic com- posite coating method was adopted in order to obtain ideal phosphor. The phosphor was coated with SiO2 via sol-gel technique and it was also covered by polymethyl methacrylate （PMMA） via dissolution-cohesion technique. Powder X-ray diffraction （XRD） patterns, fluorescence spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy （TEM） were employed to characterize the phase structures, emission spectrum and surface morphologies, respectively. In addition, the water-resistance stability of the phosphor was tested by soaking the phosphor into deionized water. The results showed that the phase structures remained the same as the uncoated phosphor and the po- sition of the fluorescence peak did not shift after surface treatment. Results showed that the water-resistance stability of the phosphor was improved to some degree. Moreover, the photoluminescence （PL） intensity of the coated phosphors reduced less than 10% of the original phosphors. Though being soaked into deionized water for 50 h, the phosphor coated with 10 wt.%SiO2-10 wt.%PMMA retained 85.9% PL intensity compared to that of the uncoated phosphor. Therefore, it could be concluded that the 10 wt.%SiO2-10 wt.%PMMA composite coating effectively improved the phosphor water resistance and retained its good optical properties.展开更多
