Treatments with ABA, H2O2, and CaCl2 induced increases in the generation of NO in maize mesophyll cells and the activity of nitric oxide synthase （NOS） in the cytosolic and microsomal fractions of maize leaves. However, such increases were blocked by the pretreatments with Ca^2＋ inhibitors and CaM antagonists. Meanwhile, pretreatments with two NOS inhibitors also suppressed the Ca^2＋-induced increase in the production of NO. On the other hand, treatments with ABA and the NO donor sodium nitroprusside （SNP） also led to increases in the concentration of cytosolic Ca^2＋ in protoplasts of mesophyll cells and in the expression of calmodulin 1 （CaM1） gene and the contents of CaM in leaves of maize plants, and the increases induced by ABA were reduced by the pretreatments with a NO scavenger and a NOS inhibitor. Moreover, SNP-induced increases in the expression of the antioxidant genes superoxide dismutase 4 （SOD4）, cytosolic ascorbate peroxidase （cAPX）, and glutathione reductase 1 （GR1） and the activities of the chloroplastic and cytosolic antioxidant enzymes were arrested by the pretreatments with Ca^2＋ inhibitors and CaM antagonists. Our results suggest that Ca^2＋-CaM functions both upstream and downstream of NO production, which is mainly from NOS, in ABA- and H2O2-induced antioxidant defense in leaves of maize plants.展开更多

Unfortunately, the power conversion efficiency(PCE) of those stable 2D PSCs is still far behind that of 3D PSCs. Herein, we reported a simple in-situ growth technique for the ethylenediamine lead iodide(EDAPbI4) layer on the top of formamidinium lead iodide(FAPbI3) layer. The rationally designed layered architecture of2D-3 D perovskite film could improve the PCE of the PSCs. In addition, benefiting from the high moisture resistance and inhibited ion migration of EDAPbI4 layer, the 2D-3D-based devices showed obviously enhanced long-term stability,keeping the initial PCE value for 200 h and 90% of its initial PCE even after 500 h.展开更多
