Genome-wide identification and expression profiling analysis of DIR gene family in Setaria italica
Dirigent (DIR) proteins play essential roles in regulating plant growth and development, as well as enhancing resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. However, the whole-genome identification and expression profiling analysis of DIR gene family in millet (Setaria italica (Si)) have not been systematically understood. In this study, we conducted genome-wide identification and expression analysis of the S. italica DIR gene family, including gene structures, conserved domains, evolutionary relationship, chromosomal locations, cis-elements, duplication events, gene collinearity and expression patterns. A total of 38 SiDIR members distributed on nine chromosomes were screened and identified. SiDIR family members in the same group showed higher sequence similarity. The phylogenetic tree divided the SiDIR proteins into six subfamilies: DIR-a, DIR-b/d, DIR-c, DIR-e, DIR-f, and DIR-g. According to the tertiary structure prediction, DIR proteins (like SiDIR7/8/9) themselves may form a trimer to exert function. The result of the syntenic analysis showed that tandem duplication may play the major driving force during the evolution of SiDIRs. RNA-seq data displayed higher expression of 16 SiDIR genes in root tissues, and this implied their potential functions during root development. The results of quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) assays revealed that SiDIR genes could respond to the stress of CaCl2, CdCl, NaCl, and PEG6000. This research shed light on the functions of SiDIRs in responding to abiotic stress and demonstrated their modulational potential during root development. In addition, the membrane localization of SiDIR7/19/22 was confirmed to be consistent with the forecast. The results above will provide a foundation for further and deeper investigation of DIRs
Constrained Subproblems in a Decomposition-Based Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithm
A decomposition approach decomposes a multiobjective optimization problem into a number of scalar objective optimization subproblems. It plays a key role in decomposition-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithms. However, many widely used decomposition approaches, originally proposed for mathematical programming algorithms, may not be very suitable for evolutionary algorithms. To help decomposition-based multiobjective evolutionary algorithms balance the population diversity and convergence in an appropriate manner, this letter proposes to impose some constraints on the subproblems. Experiments have been conducted to demonstrate that our proposed constrained decomposition approach works well on most test instances. We further propose a strategy for adaptively adjusting constraints by using information collected from the search. Experimental results show that it can significantly improve the algorithm performance

Constructing Strategies and Applications of Nitrogen-Rich Energetic Metal–Organic Framework Materials
The synthesis of energetic metal–organic frameworks (EMOFs) with one-dimensional, two-dimensional and three-dimensional structures is an effective strategy for developing new-generation high-energy-density and insensitive materials. The basic properties, models, synthetic strategies and applications of EMOF materials with nitrogen-rich energetic groups as ligands are reviewed. In contrast with traditional energetic materials, EMOFs exhibit some interesting characteristics, like tunable structure, diverse pores, high-density, high-detonation heat and so on. The traditional strategies to design EMOF materials with ideal properties are just to change the types and the size of energetic ligands and to select different metal ions. Recently, some new design concepts have come forth to produce more EMOFs materials with excellent properties, by modifying the energetic groups on the ligands and introducing highly energetic anion into skeleton, encapsulating metastable anions, introducing templates and so on. The paper points out that appropriate constructing strategy should be adopted according to the inherent characteristics of different EMOFs, by combining with functional requirements and considering the difficulties and the cost of production. To promote the development and application of EMOF materials, the more accurate and comprehensive synthesis, systematic performance measurement methods, theoretical calculation and structure simulation should be reinforced
