摘要: Plants have evolved a large number of tran APETALA2/EREBP-like genes constitute a large plant TF family and participate in development and stress responses. To probe the conservation and divergence of AP2/EREBP genes, we analyzed the duplication patterns of this family in Brassicaceae and identified interacting proteins of representative Arabidopsis AP2/EREBP proteins. We found that many AP2/EREBP duplicates generated early in Brassicaceae history were quickly lost, but many others were retained in all tested Brassicaceae species, suggesting early functional divergence followed by persistent conservation. In addition, the sequences of the AP2 domain and exon numbers were highly conserved in rosids. Furthermore, we used 16 A. thaliana AP2/EREBP proteins as baits in yeast screens and identified 1,970 potential AP2/EREBP-interacting proteins, with a small subset of interactions verified in planta. Many AP2 genes also exhibit reduced expression in an anther-defective mutant, providing a possible link to developmental regulation. The putative AP2-interacting proteins participate in many functions in development and stress responses, including photomorphogenesis, flower development, pathogenesis, drought and cold responses, abscisic acid and auxin signaling. Our results present the AP2/EREBP evolution patterns in Brassicaceae, and support a proposed interaction network of AP2/EREBP proteins and their putative interacting proteins for further study.

摘要: In this study,we combined time-resolved terahertz spectroscopy along with transient absorption spectroscopy to revisit the interlayer non-equilibrium carrier dynamics in largely lateral size Gr/MoS2 heterostructure fabricated with chemical vapor deposition method. Our experimental results reveal that, with photon-energy below the A-exciton of MoS2 monolayer, hot electrons transfer from graphene to MoS2 takes place in time scale of less than 0.5 ps, resulting in ultrafast formation of interfacial exciton in the heterostructure, subsequently, recombination relaxation of the interfacial exciton occurs in time scale of ~18 ps. A new model considering carrier heating and photogating effect in graphene is proposed to estimate the amount of carrier transfer in the heterostructure, which shows a good agreement with experimental result. Moreover, when the photon-energy is on-resonance with the A-exciton of MoS2, photogenerated holes in MoS2 are transferred to graphene layer within 0.5 ps, leading to the formation of interfacial exciton, the subsequent photoconductivity (PC) relaxation of graphene and bleaching recovery of A-exciton in MoS2 take place around ~10 ps time scale, ascribing to the interfacial exciton recombination. The faster recombination time of interfacial exciton with on-resonance excitation could come from the reduced interface barrier caused by bandgap renormalization effect. Our study provides deep insight into the understanding of interfacial charge transfer as well as the relaxation dynamics in graphene-based heterostructures, which are promising for the applications of graphene-based optoelectronic devices.

摘要: In the archive of the Ground Wide Angle Camera (GWAC), we found 43 white light flares from 43 stars, among which, three are sympathetic or homologous flares, and one of them also has a quasi-periodic pulsation with a period of $13.0\pm1.5$ minutes. Among these 43 flare stars, there are 19 new active stars and 41 stars that have available TESS and/or K2 light curves, from which we found 931 stellar flares. We also obtained rotational or orbital periods of 34 GWAC flare stars, of which 33 are less than 5.4 days, and ephemerides of three eclipsing binaries from these light curves. Combining with low resolution spectra from LAMOST and the Xinglong 2.16m telescope, we found that $L_{\rm H\alpha}/L_{\rm bol}$ are in the saturation region in the rotation-activity diagram. From the LAMOST medium-resolution spectrum, we found that Star \#3 (HAT 178-02667) has double H$\alpha$ emissions which imply it is a binary, and two components are both active stars. Thirteen stars have flare frequency distributions (FFDs) from TESS and/or K2 light curves. These FFDs show that the flares detected by GWAC can occur at a frequency of 0.5 to 9.5 yr$^{-1}$. The impact of flares on habitable planets was also studied based on these FFDs, and flares from some GWAC flare stars may produce enough energetic flares to destroy ozone layers, but none can trigger prebiotic chemistry on their habitable planets.
