Abstract

Nucleotide-binding and leucine-rich repeat receptors (NLRs) are the most important and largest class of immune receptors in plants. The Pi36 gene encodes a canonical CC-NBS-LRR protein that confers resistance to rice blast fungal infections. Here, we show that the CC domain of Pi36 plays a role in cell death induction. Furthermore, self-association is required for the CC domain-mediated cell death, and the self-association ability is correlated with the cell death level. In addition, the NB-ARC domain may suppress the activity of the CC domain through intramolecular interaction. The mutations D440G next to the RNBS-D motif and D503V in the MHD motif autoactivated Pi36, but the mutation K212 in the P-loop motif inhibited this autoactivation, indicating that nucleotide binding of the NB-ARC domain is essential for Pi36 activation. We also found that the LRR domain is required for D503V- and D440G-mediated Pi36 autoactivation. Interestingly, several mutations in the CC domain compromised the CC domain-mediated cell death without affecting the D440G- or D503V-mediated Pi36 autoactivation. The autoactivate Pi36 variants exhibited stronger self-associations than the inactive variants. Taken together, we speculated that the CC domain of Pi36 executes cell death activities, whereas the NB-ARC domain suppressed CC-mediated cell death via intermolecular interaction. The NB-ARC domain releases its suppression of the CC domain and strengthens the self-association of Pi36 to support the CC domain, possibly through nucleotide exchange. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

To explore the reaction mechanism of sludge, slag, lime, and fly ash in high temperature environments, the unconfined compressive strength (UCS) test was hereby implemented to study the effect on curing age, curing temperature, slag content and fly ash content about the strength of sludge. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was used to observe the microscopic composition of the substance, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) was used to analyze the mineral composition at the micro level to further disclose its reinforcement mechanism. The experimental results demonstrate the difference in the strength measured by different dosage of curing agent, and results indicate that the strength of high temperature curing sample was obviously higher than that of low temperature curing sample. When the curing temperature rises, the pozzolanic reaction and hydration reaction between materials are accelerated, and a certain amount of gel products are produced, playing a precipitation and bonding role between particles. The 28 days and 90 days strengths of the sludge samples with 20% fly ash and 80% slag dosing at 40°C were 1139 KPa and 1194 KPa, which were 1.4 and 1.1 times of that of pure cement solidified sludge. At 60°C, the strength of 14 days, 28 days and 90 days were 802 KPa, 1298 KPa and 1363 KPa, which were 1.1, 1.5 and 1.3 times of that of pure cement solidified sludge. Under the influence of an alkaline environment, the silicon-aluminum grid structure was interconnected into a denser network structure, and the compressive strength of lime-activated fly ash-slag was thus continuously enhanced. Affected by the high temperature, lime-activated fly ash-slag solidified sludge could significantly improve the middle and late strength of the sample. The research showed that the new solidification material can replace partly the concrete curing agent, thereby alleviating the carbon emission and environmental pollution problems arising from cement solidified sludge.

Abstract

The layered nickel-cobalt-manganese LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 (LNCM) was investigated as commercializable and high reversible capacity cathode material by more and more investigators in recent years. In this paper, the LiNi1/3Co1/3−xMn1/3YxO2 (x = 0, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10) samples were successfully obtained by a ball milling combined with calcination method. The synthesized LNCM nanocomposites are characterized by different analytical methods. The effect of amount of Y ions doping on the lithium storage performance of LiNi1/3Co1/3Mn1/3O2 was also studied systematically. The Y3+ ions replace the part of Co ions, reducing cation mixing and increasing the diffusion coefficient of Li+ ions in the lattice. It causes the unit cell volume to become larger, and the structure of the material becomes more stable in the intercalation and de-intercalation process of Li+ ions. These test results show that LiNi1/3Co1/3−0.05Mn1/3Y0.05O2 (Y-0.05 LNCM) sample behaves best electrochemical properties with the specific capacity of 174.8 mAh g–1 at 0.5 C after 100 cycles.
