Precise regulation of the multicolor spectrum of carbon dots based on the bionic leaf vein ultrasonic microreactor.

Carbon dots (CDs) are a fascinating new type of fluorescent carbon nanomaterial with excellent photoelectric properties. However, preparing long-wavelength and multicolor-emitting CDs has been challenging, limiting their large-scale applications. Fortunately, a new efficient method has been proposed to co-regulate CDs' multicolor spectra using an ultrasonic microreactor.

Highly Stable and Photoluminescent CsPbBr/CsPbBr Composites for White-Light-Emitting Diodes and Visible Light Communication.

Inorganic lead halide perovskite is one of the most excellent fluorescent materials, and it plays an essential role in high-definition display and visible light communication (VLC). Its photochromic properties and stability determine the final performance of light-emitting devices. However, efficiently synthesizing perovskite with high quality and stability remains a significant challenge.

Highly emissive green CsPbBr/CsPbBr composites: formation kinetics, excellent heat, light, and polar solvent resistance, and flexible light-emitting application.

Benefit from their near-unity photoluminescence quantum yield (PL QY), narrow emission band, and widely tunable bandgap, metal halide perovskites have shown promising in light-emitting applications. Despite such promise, how to facile, environmentally-friendly, and large-scale prepare solid metal halide perovskite with high emission and stability remains a challenging. Herein, we demonstrate a convenient and environmentally-friendly method for the mass synthesis of solid CsPbBr/CsPbBr composites using high-power ultrasonication.

Multicolor Luminescent Carbon Dots: Tunable Photoluminescence, Excellent Stability, and Their Application in Light-Emitting Diodes.

Carbon dots (CDs) are attracting much interest due to their excellent photoelectric properties and wide range of potential applications. However, it is still a challenge to regulate their bandgap emissions to achieve full-color CDs with high emissions. Herein, we propose an approach for producing full-color emissive CDs by employing a solvent engineering strategy.

Maximum Spreading of Impacting Ferrofluid Droplets under the Effect of Nonuniform Magnetic Field.

This article investigates the maximum spreading of ferrofluid droplets impacting on a hydrophobic surface under nonuniform magnetic fields. A generalized model for scaling the maximum spreading is developed. It is observed that, if the magnetic field strength is zero, a ferrofluid droplet not only demonstrates similar spreading dynamics as the water droplet but also obeys the same scaling law for the maximum spreading factor.

Salt Stress Modulates the Landscape of Transcriptome and Alternative Splicing in Date Palm ( L.).

Date palm regards as a valuable genomic resource for exploring the tolerance genes due to its ability to survive under the sever condition. Although a large number of differentiated genes were identified in date palm responding to salt stress, the genome-wide study of alternative splicing (AS) landscape under salt stress conditions remains unknown. In the current study, we identified the stress-related genes through transcriptomic analysis to characterize their function under salt.

Overexpression of cassava RSZ21b enhances drought tolerance in Arabidopsis.

Drought is one of the major environmental constraints affecting crop productivity. Plants have to adjust their developmental and physiological processes to cope with drought. We previously identified 18 cassava serine/arginine-rich (SR) proteins that had a pivotal role in alternative splicing in response to environmental stress.

Construction of an ultrahigh-density genetic linkage map for L. and identification of QTL for fruit yield.

Background: As an important biofuel plant, the demand for higher yield L. is rapidly increasing. However, genetic analysis of and molecular breeding for higher yield have been hampered by the limited number of molecular markers available.

Cassava genome from a wild ancestor to cultivated varieties.

Cassava is a major tropical food crop in the Euphorbiaceae family that has high carbohydrate production potential and adaptability to diverse environments. Here we present the draft genome sequences of a wild ancestor and a domesticated variety of cassava and comparative analyses with a partial inbred line. We identify 1,584 and 1,678 gene models specific to the wild and domesticated varieties, respectively, and discover high heterozygosity and millions of single-nucleotide variations.

Developmenrt of EST-SSR and genomic-SSR markers to assess genetic diversity in Jatropha Curcas L.

Background: Jatropha curcas L. has attracted a great deal of attention worldwide, regarding its potential as a new biodiesel crop. However, the understanding of this crop remains very limited and little genomic research has been done.
