Untangling the genetic mechanisms regulating soybean 100-seed weight (100-SW), seed length and seed width across environments may provide a theoretical basis for improving seed yield. However, there are few reports related to QTL mapping of 100-SW across multiple ecological regions. In this study, 21 loci associated with seed size traits were identified using a genome-wide association of 5361 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) across three ecoregions in China, which could explain 8.12%–14.25% of the phenotypic variance respectively. A new locus, named as SW9-1 on chromosome 9 that explained 10.05%–10.93% of the seed weight variance was found significantly related to seed size traits, and was not previously reported. The selection effect analysis showed that SW9-1 locus has a relatively high phenotypic effect (13.67) on 100-SW, with a greater contribution by the accessions with bigger seeds (3.69) than the accessions with small seeds (1.66). Increases in seed weight were accompanied by increases in the frequency of SW9-1T allele, with >90% of the bred varieties with a 100-SW >30 g carrying SW9-1T. Analysis of SW9-1 allelic variation in additional soybean accessions showed that SW9-1T allele accounting for 13.83% of the wild accessions, while in 46.55% and 51.57% of the landraces and bred accessions, respectively, this results indicating that the SW9-1 locus has been subjected to artificial selection during the early stages of soybean breeding, especially the utilization of SW9-1T in edamame for big seed. These results suggest that SW9-1 is a novel and reliable locus associated with seed size traits, and might have an important implication for increasing soybean seed weight in molecular design breeding. Cloning this locus in future may provide new insights into the genetic mechanisms underlying soybean seed size traits.展开更多

Here we re...The application of heterosis is a promising approach for greatly increasing yield in soybean(Glycine max L.). Nuclear male sterility is essential for hybrid seed production and the utilization of heterosis. Here we report the cloning of the gene underlying the soybean male-sterile mutant ms-1,which has been widely used for recurrent selection in soybean breeding programs. We initially delimited the ms1 locus to a 16.15 kb region on chromosome13, based on SLAF_BSA sequencing followed by genotyping of an F_(2) population segregating for the locus. Compared with the same region in fertile plants, the mutant region lacks a sequence of approximately 38.7 kb containing five protein-coding genes, including an ortholog of the kinesin-like protein gene NACK2, named Gm Ms1. The Gm Ms1 knockout plants generated via CRISPR/Casmediated gene editing displayed a complete malesterile phenotype. Metabolic profiling showed that fertile anthers accumulated starch and sucrose normally, whereas sterile anthers had higher anthocyanin levels and lower flavonoid levels and lower antioxidant enzyme activities. These results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms governing male sterility and demonstrate that Gm Ms1 could be used to create male-sterile lines through targeted mutagenesis. These findings pave the way for designing seed production technology and an intelligent male-sterile line system to utilize heterosis in soybean.展开更多

文摘Flower-like Ni_3P_2O_8 and flower-like Fe_3P_2O_8·8H_2O have been successfully synthesized by a simple chemical precipitation method.X-ray diffraction(XRD) patterns reveal an amorphous phase formation of nickel phosphate(Ni_3P_2O_8) and pure monoclinic phase of Fe_3P_2O_8·8H_2O.The novel flower-like Ni_3P_2O_8 and flower-like Fe_3P_2O_8·8H_2O when used for supercapacitor electrode materials exhibit a high specific capacitance(C m) of 1464 F/g and 200 F/g at a current density of 0.5 A/g,respectively.Eventually,an asymmetric supercapacitor is fabricated using Ni_3P_2O_8 as positive electrode and Fe_3P_2O_8·8H_2O as negative electrode.A high specific capacitance of 94 F/g is achieved in the high-voltage region of 0 ～1.6 V,and a large energy density of 32.6 Wh/kg is delivered at power density of 420 W/kg.The findings demonstrate the important and great potential of developing metal phosphate based materials for supercapacitors.

文摘Neutrophils play an essential role in the defense against bacterial infections and orchestrate both the innate and adaptive immune responses.With their abundant numbers,diverse function and short life span,these cells are at the forefront of immune responses,and have gained attention in recent years because of their presence in tumor sites.Neutrophil involvement pertains to tumor cells'ability to construct a suitable tumor microenvironment(TME)that accelerates their own growth and malignancy,by facilitating their interaction with surrounding cells through the circulatory and lymphatic systems,thereby influencing tumor development and progression.Studies have indicated both pro-and anti-tumor properties of infiltrating neutrophils.The TME can exploit neutrophil function,recruitment,and even production,thus resulting in pro-tumor properties of neutrophils,including promotion of genetic instability,tumor cell proliferation,angiogenesis and suppression of anti-tumor or inflammatory response.In contrast,neutrophils can mediate anti-tumor resistance by direct cytotoxicity to the tumor cells or by facilitating anti-tumor functions via crosstalk with T cells.Here,we summarize current knowledge regarding the effects of neutrophil heterogeneity under homeostatic and tumor conditions,including neutrophil phenotype and function,in cancer biology.
文摘With the development of economy,people’s awareness of environmental protection has been constantly awakened,and their attention to environmental governance has also been increasing.The environmental conditions of residential areas are also becoming more and more important for residents to make settlement decisions.This study is the first to match the data of the air quality index to the data on the health monitoring of the floating population at the urban level.Moreover,it is the first to discuss the influence of environmental pollution on the settlement decision of the floating population.The results reveal that the higher the degree of environmental pollution(the level of infrastructure and public welfare)in a city,the greater the probability that the floating population will leave the city.The effects of environmental pollution are significant after considering other household,personal,and city characteristics of a population.Regarding family income constraints,the impact of environmental pollution on the migration decision of middle-income groups in the floating population is significantly lower than that of low-income groups.Moreover,there is a threshold effect of income.The influence of environmental pollution on the corresponding floating population settlement decision is different under different urban scales and current housing prices.

文摘Immunotherapy has great promise in improving malignant tumor treatment.However,the efficacy of existing strategies is often limited by the immunosuppressive environment.Here,we demonstrate an in situ bionic immunoactivator,PLT-Bec1/DTA-1,with possessed natural advantages of platelets for tumor recruitment and activation,on which DTA-1(CD357 monoclonal antibody)and Bec1 were tethered as combined immune boosters.PLT-Bec1/DTA-1,as a self-triggered release repository,can deliver the pre-tethered Bec1 and DTA-1 deeply through the secretion of platelet microparticles(PMPs),thereby cooperate tacitly and exhibit superiority in immune activation of dendritic cells(DCs)and T cells via autophagy inducibility,coupled with glucocorticoid-induced tumor necrosis factor receptor(GITR)-triggered T_(Reg) suppression,remodeled the immunosuppressive network of tumor microenvironment.PLT-Bec1/DTA-1 promoted antigen presentation and T cell proliferation,and alleviated the low activity state of bone marrow-derived dendritic cells(BMDCs)in tumor suppressive environment.PLT-Bec1/DTA-1 inhibited tumor recurrence(5-and 13-fold lower of control group in tumor volume)and CD8^(+)T/T_(Reg) ratio(6.3-and 8.8-fold vs.control group)in mouse tumor model after intravenous or subcutaneous administration.Also,PLT-Bec1/DTA-1 prevented tumor colonization in lung through in situ immune activation,and was slightly superior to the combined of Bec1 and PD-L1.Our findings highlight the promise of delivering immunostimulatory payloads via bionic carriers,eliciting automatic in situ activation of effector immune cells in tumor microenvironment for tumor eradication.All these results provide promising prospects into the application of immunoactivator in improving cancer synergistic immunotherapy to overcome the bottlenecks in clinic.

文摘The increasing prevalence of diabetes has become a global public health concern in the 21st century.In 2021,it was estimated that 537 million people had diabetes,and this number is projected to reach 643 million by 2030,and 783 million by 2045[1].Such a huge burden of diabetes brings great challenges in its prevention and management,including early diagnosis,timely interventions,and regular monitoring of risk factor control and complications screening.Continuous self-care support and patient empowerment can enhance clinical and psychobehavioural outcomes[2],although these require additional resources including manpower,infrastructure(hard and technology),and finances.The emergence of digital health technologies(DHTs),especially artificial intelligence(AI),may help address these obstacles and alleviate the burden of diabetes[3].Large language models(LLMs),a generative AI that can accept image and text inputs and produce text outputs,have shown promise in various aspects of medical care.

文摘The application of heterosis is a promising approach for greatly increasing yield in soybean(Glycine max L.). Nuclear male sterility is essential for hybrid seed production and the utilization of heterosis. Here we report the cloning of the gene underlying the soybean male-sterile mutant ms-1,which has been widely used for recurrent selection in soybean breeding programs. We initially delimited the ms1 locus to a 16.15 kb region on chromosome13, based on SLAF_BSA sequencing followed by genotyping of an F_(2) population segregating for the locus. Compared with the same region in fertile plants, the mutant region lacks a sequence of approximately 38.7 kb containing five protein-coding genes, including an ortholog of the kinesin-like protein gene NACK2, named Gm Ms1. The Gm Ms1 knockout plants generated via CRISPR/Casmediated gene editing displayed a complete malesterile phenotype. Metabolic profiling showed that fertile anthers accumulated starch and sucrose normally, whereas sterile anthers had higher anthocyanin levels and lower flavonoid levels and lower antioxidant enzyme activities. These results provide insights into the molecular mechanisms governing male sterility and demonstrate that Gm Ms1 could be used to create male-sterile lines through targeted mutagenesis. These findings pave the way for designing seed production technology and an intelligent male-sterile line system to utilize heterosis in soybean.
