Transcriptome Profiling Unravels the Involvement of Phytohormones in Tomato Resistance to the Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus (TYLCV)
Authors: Song Liuxia , Wang Yinlei , Zhao Liping , Zhao Tongmin
Published: February 2022

Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV) is a serious pathogen transmitted by the whitefly (Bemisia tabaci). Due to the quick spread of the virus, which is assisted by its vector, tomato yield and quality have suffered a crushing blow. Resistance to TYLCV has been intensively investigated in transmission, yet the mechanism of anti-TYLCV remains elusive. Herein, we conducted transcriptome profiling with a TYLCV-resistant cultivar (CLN2777A) and a susceptible line (Moneymaker) to identify the potential mechanism of resistance to TYLCV. Compared to the susceptible line, CLN2777A maintained a lower level of lipid peroxidation (LPO) after TYLCV infection. Through RNA-seq, over 1000 differentially expressed genes related to the metabolic process, cellular process, response to stimulus, biological regulation, and signaling were identified, indicating that the defense response was activated after the virus attack. Further analysis showed that TYLCV infection could induce the expression of the genes involved in salicylic and jasmonic acid biosynthesis and the signal transduction of phytohormones, which illustrated that phytohormones were essential for tomatoes to defend against TYLCV. These findings provide greater insight into the effective source of resistance for TYLCV control, indicating a potential molecular tool for the design of TYLCV-resistant tomatoes.
DRM-Based Colour Photometric Stereo Using Diffuse-Specular Separation for Non-Lambertian Surfaces
Authors: Li Boren , Furukawa Tomonari
Published: February 2022

This paper presents a photometric stereo (PS) method based on the dichromatic reflectance model (DRM) using colour images. The proposed method estimates surface orientations for surfaces with non-Lambertian reflectance using diffuse-specular separation and contains two steps. The first step, referred to as diffuse-specular separation, initialises surface orientations in a specular invariant colour subspace and further separates the diffuse and specular components in the RGB space. In the second step, the surface orientations are refined by first initialising specular parameters via solving a log-linear regression problem owing to the separation and then fitting the DRM using Levenburg-Marquardt algorithm. Since reliable information from diffuse reflection free from specularities is adopted in the initialisations, the proposed method is robust and feasible with less observations. At pixels where dense non-Lambertian reflectances appear, signals from specularities are exploited to refine the surface orientations and the additionally acquired specular parameters are potentially valuable for more applications, such as digital relighting. The effectiveness of the newly proposed surface normal refinement step was evaluated and the accuracy in estimating surface orientations was enhanced around 30% on average by including this step. The proposed method was also proven effective in an experiment using synthetic input images comprised of twenty-four different reflectances of dielectric materals. A comparison with nine other PS methods on five representative datasets further prove the validity of the proposed method.

Antibiotic resistance is becoming a burning issue due to the frequent use of antibiotics for curing common bacterial infections, indicating that we are running out of effective antibiotics. This has been more obvious during recent corona pandemics. Similarly, enhancement of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is strengthening the pathogenicity and virulence of infectious microbes. Endophytes have shown expression of various new many bioactive compounds with significant biological activities. Specifically, in endophytic fungi, bioactive metabolites with unique skeletons have been identified which could be helpful in the prevention of increasing antimicrobial resistance. The major classes of metabolites reported include anthraquinone, sesquiterpenoid, chromone, xanthone, phenols, quinones, quinolone, piperazine, coumarins and cyclic peptides. In the present review, we reported 451 bioactive metabolites isolated from various groups of endophytic fungi from January 2015 to April 2021 along with their antibacterial profiling, chemical structures and mode of action. In addition, we also discussed various methods including epigenetic modifications, co-culture, and OSMAC to induce silent gene clusters for the production of noble bioactive compounds in endophytic fungi.

Published: February 2022

The essential oil of Kaempferia galanga L. commonly known as sand ginger has increased its demand in national and international market for decades. Cinnamic acid esters like ethyl-p-methoxy cinnamate (EPMC) and ethyl cinnamate (EC) are major constituents in its essential oil. In spite of the high demand for the plant as raw material, identification of quality chemovars having high essential oil (EO) yield and constituents is still at an infant stage. With this in mind, we have evaluated the EO yield of 36 accessions from three provinces of Eastern India, which varied within a range of 0.41 ± 0.01 to 2.63 ± 0.03 v/w. Further, a total of 65 compounds were detected by gas chromatography and mass spectrometry (GC-MS) with area percentages varying from 76.16 to 97.3%. EPMC was found to be the major component in 14 accessions with area percentages varying from 10.7% to 41.1%, whereas other 22 accessions showed EC as the major constituent, varying from 16% to 29.1%. Further, a diversity study among accessions was performed by agglomerative hierarchical clustering (AHC) and principal component analysis (PCA) analysis based on the abundance of identified constituents, which categorized all 36 accessions into three clusters. Thus, the present study helps to identify quality chemovar K.g16 and K.g14 with respect to oil yield and constituents, respectively, which could be used to guide commercial cultivation and further improvement of the taxa.

Published: February 2022

This review proposes a new bioremediation method based on the diverse functionalities of algae. A greenway for cleansing wastewater is more ecologically friendly and environmentally sustainable than prior methods with other bacteria. New bioremediation technology employing algae and cyanobacteria for the removal of a wide range of organic contaminants is reasonable and has great potential. The prevalence of organic contaminants in aquatic habitats may endanger the health and well-being of several marine creatures. Agriculture, industry, and household trash are just a few of the human-caused sources of organic pollutants that contaminate waterways around the world. Before wastewater can be released into waterways, it must be cleaned. Algae-based wastewater treatment systems are becoming increasingly popular because of their environmental sustainability and lack of secondary pollutants. According to the kind of pollutant, the physicochemical properties of wastewater, and the algal species, algae and cyanobacteria can absorb and accumulate a wide spectrum of organic pollutants at different rates. In addition, phytoremediation is a cost-effective alternative to conventional treatments for degrading organic contaminants. Phycoremediationally produced algal biomass may also be an important part of the bioenergy value chain. This article focuses on microalgae and cyanobacteria species, which may remove many organic contaminants from water systems.

Published: February 2022

This study focuses on the synthesis, characterization, and evaluation of the performance of core shell nanostructure adsorbent for hydrogen sulfide (H2S) capture. Commercial coconut shell activated carbon (CAC) and commercial mixed gas of 5000 ppm H2S balanced N2 were used. With different preparation techniques, the CAC was modified by core shell impregnation with zinc oxide (ZnO), titanium oxide (TiO2), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and zinc acetate (ZnAC2). The core structure was prepared with CAC impregnated by single chemical and double chemical labelled with ZnAC2-CAC (single chemical), ZnAC2/KOH-CAC, ZnAC2/ZnO-CAC, and ZnAC2/TiO2-CAC. Then, the prepared core was layered either with KOH, TiO2, NH3, or TEOS for the shell. The synthesized adsorbents were characterized in physical and chemical characterization through scanning electron microscopy (SEM), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyzers. Operation of the adsorber column takes place at ambient temperature, with absolute pressure at 1.5 bar. The H2S gas was fed into the column at 5.5 L/min and the loaded adsorbents were 150 g. The performance of synthesized adsorbent was analyzed through the adsorbent’s capability in capturing H2S gas. Based on the results, ZnAc2/ZnO/CAC_WOS shows a better adsorption capacity with 1.17 mg H2S/g and a 53% increment compared to raw CAC. However, the degradation of the adsorbents was higher compared to ZnAc2/ZnO/CAC_OS and to ZnAc2/ZnO/CAC_WS ZnAc2/ZnO/CAC_OS. The presence of silica as a shell has potentially increased the adsorbent’s stability in several cycles of adsorption-desorption.

Published: February 2022

The scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscope (s-SNOM) has become a powerful imaging and nano-spectroscopy tool, which is widely used in the characterization of electronic and photonic devices, two-dimensional materials and biomolecules. However, in the published literature, nano-spectroscopy is mainly employed in the mid-infrared band, and the near-infrared (NIR) nano-spectroscopy with broadband spectral range has not been well discussed. In the present paper, we introduce a home-built near-field NIR spectroscopy and imaging set-up that is based on a laser-driven light source (LDLS). By mapping the Ge-Au periodic grating sample and the photonic topology device, a ~30 nm spatial resolution and the excellent capability of characterizing complex samples are demonstrated. Spectra obtained by experiment reveal the optical band-gap of Ge with a spectral resolution of 25 cm−1, and a spectral range from 900 to 2000 nm. This technology is expected to provide a novel and unique approach for near-field NIR spectroscopy and imaging.

Дивертикулы ободочной кишки - наиболее частое анатомическое изменение, диагностируемое при колоноскопии. Распространенность данного заболевания выше у пожилых пациентов старше 65 лет со сдвигом в сторону снижения возраста (40-45 лет). Несмотря на высокую распространенность заболевания (по разным данным, от 7 до 20%), патофизиологические механизмы его формирования до конца не изучены. Установлено, что в формировании дивертикулов участвует множество факторов, которые в настоящее время признаны факторами риска развития данного патологического процесса: генетическая предрасположенность, нарушение моторики кишечника, образ жизни (в том числе употребление алкоголя, курение, избыточная масса тела), пищевое поведение (употребление красного мяса, низкое потребление клетчатки и т. д.), нарушение состава микробиоты толстого кишечника, а также прием лекарственных препаратов (нестероидные противовоспалительные средства, аспирин и др.).

Colon diverticula are the most common anatomical changes diagnosed with colonoscopy. The prevalence of this disease is higher in elderly patients over 65 years old with a shift towards decrease of age (40-45 years). Despite the high prevalence of the disease (according to various sources, from 7 to 20%), the pathophysiological mechanisms of its formation are not fully understood. It was found that many factors are involved in the formation of diverticula that are currently recognized as risk factors of development of this pathological process: genetic predisposition, alteration of colonic motility, lifestyle conditions (including alcohol consumption, smoking, overweight), eating behavior (consumption of red meat, low fiber intake, etc.), alterations in colonic microbiota composition, as well as certain medications (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, aspirin, etc.).

A Leishmaniose Visceral (LV), doença negligenciada de caráter crônico e sistêmico, causada pelo parasita Leishmania spp. representa um problema de saúde pública, principalmente em países com população vulnerável, como o Brasil. Devido à urbanização de grandes centros, cães configuram um importante reservatório no ciclo urbano, precedendo casos humanos e contribuindo para a manutenção de casos de Leishmaniose Visceral Canina (LVC). Entretanto, poucos inquéritos sorológicos somados à analise espacial envolvendo a população humana e animal foram descritos no município de Três Lagoas. Diante disso, o objetivo do estudo foi identificar e descrever a ocorrência da infecção natural por Leishmania spp. na população canina domiciliada e humana de Três Lagoas – MS, Brasil, utilizando-se das técnicas sorológicas de Dual Path Platform (DPP), Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) e Reação de Imunofluorescência Indireta (RIFI), bem como molecular para Leishmania spp. e análise por georreferenciamento. Para isso, foram coletadas 566 amostras sanguíneas de cães. Além disso, informações epidemiológicas adicionais foram coletadas do sistema de saúde do município, e posteriormente, a análise espacial foi realizada. Como resultados obteve-se 267 amostras reagentes ao teste DPP, 267 amostras reagentes ao ELISA e 97 à RIFI, com 95% de concordância entre os métodos DPP e ELISA. Das amostras submetidas à PCR, 16 foram positivas para Leishmania spp. O uso do georreferenciamento para LVC canina em Três Lagoas forneceu subsídios para identificar áreas com prioridade de intervenção para o controle da doença. A presença de flebotomíneos, associado à localização geográfica, bem como às condições ambientais na região estudada, foram favoráveis à sua disseminação, bem como à transmissão da doença aos cães e a humanos.

Los yazidíes son una minoría religiosa kurda que no fue islamizada, lo que la diferencia y distancia del resto de los kurdos. En este artículo trabajaremos las particularidades de la religión yazidí en relación a sus creencias y a su organización social. Prestaremos especial atención a aquellas cuestiones religiosas que fueron malentendidas por sus vecinos musulmanes y cristianos, lo que los volvió particularmente vulnerables a los ataques de Daesh a partir de 2014.

Entre las mismas se encuentra la malinterpretación de su figura principal, el Ángel Pavorreal (Malak Tawús) y su errónea identificación con el diablo de las tradiciones abrahámicas. Veremos cómo su sistema de castas con las prácticas endogámicas que lo acompañan, favoreció el aislamiento del grupo, lo que fue aprovechado por Daesh para avanzar sobre su tierra, sus bienes y sus mujeres y niños.

Ketika Nabi Muhammad Saw berumur 40 tahun diangkatlah menjadi seorang Rasul, sebagai titik awal Pendidikan keislaman itu terlihat berproses, dibuktikan dengan gaya mendidik secara sembunyi-sembunyi dan dengan terang-terangan. Pengimplementasian nilai-nilai Pendidikan Islam dilatarbelakangi kondisi Masyarakat ketika itu secara moral jatuh dalam keterpurukan. Perjuangan untuk menanamkan nilai Pendidikan keislaman secara tersembunyi membuahkan hasil dengan bergabungnya istri beliau, ‘Ali bin Abi Thalib, Zaid bin Tsabit dan Abu Bakar as-Shiddiq. Sedangkan perjuangan secara terang-terangan semakin membuahkan hasil dengan bergabungnya lebih banyak sahabat lagi dan siap melanjutkan estafet perjuangan Rasulullah Saw. Dari berbagai metode yang dilaksanakan Rasulullah Saw dalam pengimplementasian Pendidikan Islam yang paling diminati peserta didik yaitu metode Uswah (Suri teladan yang baik), walaupun pada dasarnya dari seluruh metode yang ditawarkan mempunyai kelebihan masing-masing dan tujuannya pasti baik. Fokus utama ketika di Makkah menanamkan Pendidikan Tauhid, dalam merubah karakter peserta didik diutamakan berubah dulu kepercayaannya sebab perubahan menuju lebih baik itu hannyalah dengan melakukan pembersihan terlebih dahulu melalui jalur Tauhid. Mengingat latar belakang awal kondisi Masyarakatnya penyembah berhala, hobi membunuhi anak perempuan, berjudi dan sebagainya. Sesudah di Madinah penanaman nilai Pendidikan sudah mulai terlihat hasil secara nyata disebabkan sudah banyak pengikut loyalitas tinggi tanpa dikhawatirkan lagi konsistensinya.

Le elezioni comunali in Toscana dal 1993 al 2004. Gli effetti delle nuove regole, i partiti, le coalizioni, i "nuovi" sindaci
Authors: Floridia Antonio
Published: February 2022

L’obiettivo di questo lavoro quello di fornire un bilancio critico e una valutazione degli effetti che l’applicazione della legge 81 del 25 marzo 1993 ha prodotto sui sistemi politici locali della Toscana: una legge che è stata più volte, e da più parti, definita come il frutto migliore della convulsa fase di crisi e di transizione che hanno vissuto le istituzioni politiche del nostro paese nel corso degli anni Novanta, – «un esempio di ingegneria istituzionale sostanzialmente andato a buon fine», come è stato detto –, ma di cui oggi, a distanza di anni, e dopo tre cicli elettorali, si possono cominciare a cogliere meglio le complesse implicazioni, individuando i processi di mutamento che le nuove regole hanno indotto, o con i quali esse si sono intrecciate, nel comportamento degli elettori e nelle strategie degli attori politici.

Ad oltre dodici anni dall’approvazione di questa legge, tutti i Comuni hanno già sperimentato per almeno tre volte il nuovo sistema elettorale. È possibile quindi disporre oggi di una mole rilevante di dati che permettono di valutare le modalità di funzionamento del nuovo sistema elettorale. Concentrare poi l’attenzione su una sola regione, la Toscana nel nostro caso, corrisponde ad un esigenza conoscitiva di particolare rilievo, proprio perché, come rilevava Giacomo Sani nella Prefazione ad uno degli studi più completi sull’argomento, apparso dopo la tornata elettorale del 1999, ciò che emerge sono appunto «le forti differenze a base regionale» che hanno caratterizzato l’impatto della nuova legge elettorale.

In questa ricerca, dunque, siamo partiti dalle specificità del sistema politico toscano, cominciando ad analizzare alcuni aspetti del voto amministrativo nel corso degli anni Ottanta e cercando di misurare, per quanto possibile, i mutamenti che il nuovo sistema elettorale ha prodotto. I comuni considerati dalla ricerca sono quelli che, sulla base dei dati del Censimento 1991, e poi di quello del 2001, hanno superato i 15 mila abitanti e per i quali, dunque, la nuova legge prevede un sistema elettorale a doppio turno: per la Toscana, si tratta di 51 comuni. Per questi comuni è stato predisposto un data base completo, oggi anche consultabile via internet, comprendente tutti i dati relativi alla partecipazione elettorale, i voti riportati dai candidati e dalle liste collegate, i seggi attribuiti a ciascuna lista. Generalmente, i dati sono stati analizzati anche sulla base delle diverse classi demografiche dei comuni e della diversa ampiezza dei consigli comunali5, e sulla base dei diversi cicli elettorali, in modo da consentire confronti omogenei
Computational modelling studies for high temperature monazite systems

Monazite is widely considered as a potential source of fissile feedstock for nuclear power generation, as it generally contains significant quantity of thorium (Th), uranium (U) and rare earth elements (REEs) within the mineral ore structure. Currently, a new process of high-temperature cracking of monazite is under development to improve the liberation of these cations from the robust monazite lattice. The current process for extraction of the REEs from the mineral involves complicated processes which makes use of harsh chemicals. These process therefore has significant scope for optimisation. With this in mind, the stability of monazite systems, t-CeSiO4 and m-LaSiO4 was investigated using first-principle calculation employing density functional theory (DFT) to gain a better understanding of the inherent molecular structures and the influence of temperature on conformation. The calculated lattice parameters for the model of t-CeSiO4 were found to be in good agreement with the experimental values (within 3%) and deemed a sufficient m-LaSiO4 of the system to be exposed to simulated reaction conditions. The elastic properties suggested that t-CeSiO4 is the more stable structure compared to m-LaSiO4 structure at 0 K. Semi-empirical embedded atom method interatomic potentials incorporated in the LAMMPS code were also employed to investigate the lattice expansion of t-CeSiO4 at high temperatures. It was found that calculated a and b lattice parameters expand with a linear ratio to a temperature of 2200 K whereas the c parameter was found to contract in the same temperature range. The findings provided an in depth understanding of the monazite molecular structure change at higher temperatures that may be helpful in plasma cracking optimisation experimental methodologies.

We investigate the structural stability of metal oxides β-MnO2, TiO2 and VO2 (MO2) which are used as catalyst in metal air batteries, using the density functional theory (DFT) within the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). Their mechanical property was determined to show the stability trend of the metal oxides catalyst. Cell parameters of the bulk structures of the MO2 are in reasonable agreement with the experimental values (deviations of approximately 0.8% and -3.1% for a and c, respectively, and of 1.6 % in the cell volume). Phonon dispersion curves show that rutile (R) TiO2 is the most stable structure since it does not have vibrations in the negative frequencies.

Published: February 2022

The effect of Nb in the glue site of the cluster-plus-glue atom model formula on the microstructure and mechanical properties of Ti-Mo alloy was investigated. Phase and microstructural analysis were performed by X-ray diffraction and electron backscatter diffraction. Tensile properties were also examined. A small amount of secondary martensitic α” and ωath nano particles were precipitated in the β matrix of both alloys, due to to the inhomogeneous distribution of Mo and/ or Nb caused by segregation, which formed local regions with high- and low-stability of the β phase. The elastic modulus was significantly reduced to 56.9 ± 3.08 GPa, while the elastic admissible strain was substantially improved. The increased β stability and suppression of the ωath phase led to no significant change in both the yield and ultimate tensile strengths, and the brittle fracture behavior. The alloy can be a potential alternative of the conventional orthopedic implant materials in orthopedic applications.
