A Novel Secreted Protein of Fusarium oxysporum Promotes Infection by Inhibiting PR-5 Protein in Plant.

Fusarium oxysporum, an important soilborne fungal pathogen that causes serious Fusarium wilt disease, secretes diverse effectors during the infection. In this study, we identified a novel secreted cysteine-rich protein, FolSCP1, which contains unknown protein functional domain. Here, we characterized FolSCP1 as a secreted virulence factor that promotes the pathogen infection of host plants by inhibiting diverse plant defence responses.

Dimensional and Optoelectronic Tuning of Lead-free Perovskite Cs Bi I Br Single Crystals for Enhanced Hard X-ray Detection.

Inorganic Bi-based perovskites have shown great potential in X-ray detection for their large absorption to X-rays, diverse low-dimensional structures, and eco-friendliness without toxic metals. However, they suffer from poor carrier transport properties compared to Pb-based perovskites. Here, we propose a mixed-halogen strategy to tune the structural dimensions and optoelectronic properties of Cs Bi I Br (0≤n≤9).

Ultralow Detection Limit and Robust Hard X-ray Imaging Detector Based on Inch-Sized Lead-Free Perovskite CsBiBr Single Crystals.

Halide perovskites are promising candidates for soft X-ray detection (<80 keV) owing to their high X-ray absorption coefficient, resistivity, and mobility lifetime product. However, the lack of large high-quality single crystals (SCs) renders it challenging to manufacture robust hard X-ray imaging systems (>100 keV) with a low detection limit and stable dark current. Herein, high-quality inch-size two-dimensional (2D) CsBiBr (CBB) single crystals are grown from a melt via the Bridgman method.

Ultrasensitive and Robust 120 keV Hard X-Ray Imaging Detector based on Mixed-Halide Perovskite CsPbBr I Single Crystals.

The relatively low resistivity and severe ion migration in CsPbBr significantly degrade the performance of X-ray detectors due to their high detection limit and current drift. The electrical properties and X-ray detection performances of CsPbBr -nIn single crystals are investigated by doping the iodine atoms into the melt-grown CsPbBr . The resistivity of CsPbBr -nIn single crystals increases from 3.
