Tomato microtubule-associated protein end-binding protein 1 (EB1) mediates tolerance to salt stress

微管结构的动态受微管结合蛋白(Microtubule-associated proteins,MAPs)调控,在植物的生长发育和环境信号响应中有重要作用. EB1(End-binding protein 1)是微管正末端特异结合的MAP,蛋白同源序列比对搜索显示番茄基因组有2个EB1基因,SlEB1a(Solyc03g116370)和SlEB1b(Solyc02g092950).构建SlEB1a基因的过表达番茄植株和同时干涉SlEB1a基因和SlEB1b基因的RNAi番茄植株,并分析它们对微管解聚药物戊炔草胺和盐胁迫的敏感性.结果证明番茄微管结合蛋白EB1(SlEB1)在盐胁迫应答中有重要作用.与野生型番茄植株相比,过表达番茄植株对1 mumol/L微管解聚药物戊炔草胺更加敏感,而RNAi植株对1 mumol/L戊炔草胺更加耐受,与此相反,过表达番茄植株对100 mmol/L NaCl更加耐受而RNAi番茄植株对100 mmol/L NaCl更加敏感.因此,SlEB1可能通过负调控番茄周质微管的稳定性而正调控番茄对盐胁迫的应答;本研究结果可为进一步研究植物周质微管动态在盐胁迫应答中的作用机制奠定基础

Adsorption Performance of Arsenic(Ⅲ) in Water on Hyperaccumulating Plant-Pteris vittata

采用流动注射-氢化物发生-电热石英管原子吸收光谱法研究了超富集植物蜈蚣草对水中As(Ⅲ)的吸附行为。探讨了蜈蚣草的前处理方法、溶液pH值、吸附时间、吸附剂用量、As(Ⅲ)浓度和溶液体积等因素对蜈蚣草吸附As(Ⅲ)的吸附率的影响。结果表明,以50 mg经2 mol.L-1HCl洗脱处理后的蜈蚣草粉末为吸附剂,在pH为2.0、As(Ⅲ)浓度为20 ng.mL-1、溶液体积50 mL、吸附时间15 min条件下,蜈蚣草对As(Ⅲ)的吸附率可达86.1%,水中残余As(Ⅲ)仅为2.8 ng.mL-1。本法成本低廉、操作简便,可望直接用于地下水中As(Ⅲ)的去除。The adsorption performance on As(Ⅲ) in water with Pteris vittata(hyperaccumulating plant) was studied.The concentration of As(Ⅲ) in water was determined by flow injection-hydride generation-atomic adsorption spectrometry(FI-HG-AAS).The influence factors,including the pre-treatment of Pteris vittata,pH value,concentration of adsorbate,sample volume,adsorption time and amount of adsorbent were studied.The adsorption ratio of 20 ng/mL As(Ⅲ) with Pteris vittata(L) which was pre-treated by 2 mol/L HCl was 86.1% and the residual concentration of As(Ⅲ) was reduced to 2.8 ng/mL under the optimum conditions.The method was economical,manipulated simple and convenient,which could be used to remove As(Ⅲ) of groundwater directly,and met the standards of drinking water made by EU,EPA and WHO.国家自然科学基金(No.40506020

JUNO Sensitivity on Proton Decay p→νˉK+p\to \bar\nu K^+ Searches

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this paper, the potential on searching for proton decay in $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated.The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits to suppress the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar\nu K^+$ is 36.9% with a background level of 0.2 events after 10 years of data taking. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel

JUNO sensitivity on proton decay p → ν K + searches*

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a large liquid scintillator detector designed to explore many topics in fundamental physics. In this study, the potential of searching for proton decay in the $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ mode with JUNO is investigated. The kaon and its decay particles feature a clear three-fold coincidence signature that results in a high efficiency for identification. Moreover, the excellent energy resolution of JUNO permits suppression of the sizable background caused by other delayed signals. Based on these advantages, the detection efficiency for the proton decay via $p\to \bar{\nu} K^+$ is 36.9% ± 4.9% with a background level of $0.2\pm 0.05({\rm syst})\pm$$0.2({\rm stat})$ events after 10 years of data collection. The estimated sensitivity based on 200 kton-years of exposure is $9.6 \times 10^{33}$ years, which is competitive with the current best limits on the proton lifetime in this channel and complements the use of different detection technologies
