Alternative Carrier Injection/Extraction Inspired by Electrode Interlayers Based on Peripheral Modification of the Electron-Rich Skeleton
Peripheral
modifications of the electron-rich trifluorene-substituted triphenylamine
core have been comparatively studied through the linkage of the different
polar pendants with fluorene via saturated sp<sup>3</sup> hybrid alkyl
chains. The work function of electrode could be effectively tuned
by the interlayers with or without peripheral pendants of phosphoric
acid and phosphonate groups to give selective hole and electron injection/extraction
property. Their applications in various vacuum- and solution-processed
organic light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic devices were thoroughly
investigated. The current comparative study provides valuable exploration
on developing high-performance environmentally friendly solvent-processed
electrode interlayer materials
The fungal pathogen <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i> suppresses innate immunity by modulating a host potassium channel
<div><p>Potassium (K<sup>+</sup>) is required by plants for growth and development, and also contributes to immunity against pathogens. However, it has not been established whether pathogens modulate host K<sup>+</sup> signaling pathways to enhance virulence and subvert host immunity. Here, we show that the effector protein AvrPiz-t from the rice blast pathogen <i>Magnaporthe oryzae</i> targets a K<sup>+</sup> channel to subvert plant immunity. AvrPiz-t interacts with the rice plasma-membrane-localized K<sup>+</sup> channel protein OsAKT1 and specifically suppresses the OsAKT1-mediated K<sup>+</sup> currents. Genetic and phenotypic analyses show that loss of <i>OsAKT1</i> leads to decreased K<sup>+</sup> content and reduced resistance against <i>M</i>. <i>oryzae</i>. Strikingly, AvrPiz-t interferes with the association of OsAKT1 with its upstream regulator, the cytoplasmic kinase OsCIPK23, which also plays a positive role in K<sup>+</sup> absorption and resistance to <i>M</i>. <i>oryzae</i>. Furthermore, we show a direct correlation between blast disease resistance and external K<sup>+</sup> status in rice plants. Together, our data present a novel mechanism by which a pathogen suppresses plant host immunity by modulating a host K<sup>+</sup> channel.</p></div
