Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies a Rice Panicle Blast Resistance Gene,Pb2, Encoding NLR Protein

Rice blast is one of the main diseases in rice and can occur in different rice growth stages. Due to the complicated procedure of panicle blast identification and instability of panicle blast infection influenced by the environment, most cloned rice resistance genes are associated with leaf blast. In this study, a rice panicle blast resistance gene, Pb2, was identified by genome-wide association mapping based on the panicle blast resistance phenotypes of 230 Rice Diversity Panel 1 (RDP1) accessions with 700,000 single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. A genome-wide association study identified 18 panicle blast resistance loci (PBRL) within two years, including 9 reported loci and 2 repeated loci (PBRL2 and PBRL13, PBRL10 and PBRL18). Among them, the repeated locus (PBRL10 and PBRL18) was located in chromosome 11. By haplotype and expression analysis, one of the Nucleotide-binding domain and Leucine-rich Repeat (NLR) Pb2 genes was highly conserved in multiple resistant rice cultivars, and its expression was significantly upregulated after rice blast infection. Pb2 encodes a typical NBS-LRR protein with NB-ARC domain and LRR domain. Compared with wild type plants, the transgenic rice of Pb2 showed enhanced resistance to panicle and leaf blast with reduced lesion number. Subcellular localization of Pb2 showed that it is located on plasma membrane, and GUS tissue-staining observation found that Pb2 is highly expressed in grains, leaf tips and stem nodes. The Pb2 transgenic plants showed no difference in agronomic traits with wild type plants. It indicated that Pb2 could be useful for breeding of rice blast resistance.     

基于相位过渡过程的WI语音重建方法

通过研究语音残差信号的合成方法,给出了一种改进的波形内插（Waveform Interpolation,WI）编码器语音重建方案,去除了解码器中特征波形（Characteristic waveform,CW）的对齐运算。在该方案中当帧间的基音周期连续变化时,语音残差信号由幅度谱和相位轨迹直接合成,而当基音周期发生跳变时,则利用相位过渡过程合成语音残差信号。该方法大大降低了WI解码器的复杂度,同时保证了合成语音质量没有变化。

近似最优正则化参数方法在电容成像图像重建中的应用

将基于近似最优正则化参数的Tikhonov方法应用于电容成像(Electrical capacitance tomography，ECT)图像重建以解决其中存在的病态性问题，并利用几种典型分布对该方法进行仿真测试。数值结果表明，在先验知识满足的条件下，近似最优参数法所找到的正则化参数是对最优正则化参数的较合理近似。在重建结果方面，基于近似最优参数的Tikhonov方法在不同的介电常数分布下与目前普遍采用的线性反投影算法(Linear back projection，LBP)各有优势。结果表明，该方法尚不能完全取代LBP算法，但能在一定程度上弥补LBP算法的不足。     

循环流化床锅炉点火系统的数值模拟分析

循环流化床(CFB)锅炉点火系统主要以风道燃烧器为主。风道燃烧器在实际运行时,燃油着火和燃尽性能不是很理想,会出现火焰贴壁、壁面结焦等现象,因此对CFB锅炉点火系统进行数值模拟研究。针对内蒙古某电厂CFB锅炉风道燃烧器实际燃烧工况,选用非结构化有限元体积网格模型进行数值模拟。通过对点火系统的数值模拟和实测结果比较分析,验证了针对内蒙古某电厂CFB锅炉点火系统进行理论模拟所设置的物理模型和边界条件是符合实际的,理论模拟和实测结果的相对误差在10%范围内,结果较为理想。说明利用FLUENT软件对点火系统内温度场及压力场的情况进行模拟分析是可行的,对同类电厂具有一定的参考价值。

A study of Reduced-Rank stap

This paper starts with the discussion of the principle of Reduced-Rank (RR) Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP). It is followed by a dedication of the upper bound performance of all eigen-based RR methods provided by Cross Spectral Method (CSM) under the condition of a given processor rank and an identical secondary sample size. A performance comparison between two RR STAP processors with prefixed structure and CSM is performed by the means of simulations. It is shown that the performance of time pre-filtering followed by jointly localized STAP structure (i.e. 3DT-SAP) is very close to the upper bound and thereby it is an effective RR approach.

Chl1, an ATP-Dependent DNA Helicase,Inhibits DNA:RNA Hybrids Formation at DSB Sites to Maintain Genome Stability in S. pombe

As an ATP-dependent DNA helicase, human ChlR1/DDX11 (Chl1 in yeast) can unwind both DNA:RNA and DNA:DNA substrates in vitro. Studies have demonstrated that ChlR1 plays a vital role in preserving genome stability by participating in DNA repair and sister chromatid cohesion, whereas the ways in which the biochemical features of ChlR1 function in DNA metabolism are not well understood. Here, we illustrate that Chl1 localizes to double-strand DNA break (DSB) sites and restrains DNA:RNA hybrid accumulation at these loci. Mutation of Chl1 strongly impairs DSB repair capacity by homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) pathways, and deleting RNase H further reduces DNA repair efficiency, which indicates that the enzymatic activities of Chl1 are needed in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. In addition, we found that the Rpc37 subunit of RNA polymerase III (RNA Pol III) interacts directly with Chl1 and that deletion of Chl1 has no influence on the localization of Rpc37 at DSB site, implying the role of Rpc37 in the recruitment of Chl1 to this site.
