Article Synopsis
  • N-acyl-homoserine lactones (AHLs), like N-decanoyl-L-homoserine lactone (C10-HSL), impact plant growth and disease resistance, particularly inhibiting primary root growth in Arabidopsis.
  • Treatment with C10-HSL causes an immediate increase in cytosolic free calcium and reactive oxygen species (ROS), and activates the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MPK6), leading to nitric oxide (NO) production that is linked to root growth inhibition.
  • The study reveals that calcium, ROS, MPK6, and NO are interconnected in the signaling pathway initiated by C10-HSL, with MPK6 being essential for mediating the inhibitory effects on root development.

We have studied the electronic structure and the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of one-dimensional InSe nanoribbons using the density functional theory combined with the nonequilibrium Green's function method. Nanoribbons having bare or H-passivated edges of types zigzag (Z), Klein (K), and armchair (A) are taken into account. Edge states are found to play an important role in determining their electronic properties.
