A population ofEchinochloa crus-galli(L.) P. Beauv obtained from direct-seeding rice fields in Jiangxi Province, China, exhibited high resistance levels (13.5-fold) to the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicide cyhalofop-butyl. Compared with the susceptible (S) population, this resistant (R) population evolved a cross-resistance to aryloxyphenoxypropionates (APPs) herbicides metamifop (2.9-fold) and fenoxapro-p-ethyl (4.1-fold), cyclohexanediones (CHDs) herbicide clethodim (4.7-fold), phenyl pyrazoline (DEN) herbicide pinoxaden (6.4-fold), and evolved multiple-resistance to acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicide penoxsulam (3.6-fold), and auxin mimic herbicides quinclorac (>34.7-fold) and florpyrauxifen-benzyl (2.4-fold).ACCasegene sequencing did not reveal the existence of any known mutation point conferring with herbicide resistance. In addition, three metabolic inhibitors—one glutathione—S-transferase (GST) inhibitor (NBD-Cl), and two cytochrome P450 inhibitors (malathion and PBO)—did not reverse the cyhalofop-butyl resistance. Furthermore, enhanced metabolic rates of more than 60% 24 h after treatment with the active compound cyhalofop acid was observed in R plants compared to S plants. Hence, enhanced metabolism activity endows a non-target-site resistance to cyhalofop-butyl in the R population ofE. crus-galli. Future research will be required to determine what metabolizing enzyme genes are responsible for cyhalofop-butyl resistance inE. crus-galli.Keywords:resistance mechanisms;metabolism;cyhalofop-butyl;Echinochloa crus-galli;resistance pattern;multiple-resistance

ZrB 2 -SiCw (w-whisker) composite powders were synthesized by a microwave-assisted carbo/borothermal reduction method under argon atmosphere using zircon , boric acid, and activated carbon as starting materials. The optimized ZrB 2 -SiCw composite powder was obtained by adjusting heating temperature and amounts of boric acid and activated carbon. Further, the effect of the optimized ZrB 2 -SiCw composite powder addition on corrosion resistance of the Al 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 –C slide plate material against O 2 and Ca-treated steel was investigated. The results showed that the relative content of ZrB 2 -SiCw increased with increasing temperature. The excess of boric acid favored the formation of the ZrB 2 -SiCw, and the optimum amount of boric acid was overdosed to 30–45 wt%. The corrosion resistance and thermo-mechanical properties of Al 2 O 3 –ZrO 2 –C slide plate material could be improved effectively with 6 wt% ZrB 2 -SiCw composite powder addition, which was attributed to the excellent oxidation and corrosion resistance of ZrB 2 -SiCw composite powder. In addition, ZrB 2 -SiCw could confer excellent thermal shock resistance and reduce the generation of cracks, ultimately preventing corrosive media from infiltrating into slide plates, further increasing corrosion resistance of the plates.

Glucose, an environmentally friendly and renewable material, is modified differently in various fields. In the petrochemical industry, water-soluble polymer with salt resistance plays an important role in the production in high-salinity reservoirs. In this work, N,N -dimethyl ethanolamine was reacted with glucose to synthesis a polymerizable monomer Gf ( N,N -dimethylaminoethylglucoside). Gf was polymerized with acrylamide in aqueous solution to obtain copolymer glucose modified polyacrylamide. The copolymer was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, 1 H-NMRspectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and thermogravimetric analysis. The temperature resistance, salt resistance, and shear resistance of the copolymer solution were evaluated. The results shown that the copolymer had excellent salt-thickening effect, favorable temperature resistance, and shear resistance. We expect that this work would provide a new method for designing polymers with excellent temperature resistance, salt resistance, and shear resistance.

The catalysts utilized for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of Hg 0 from flue gas typically suffer from issues related to H 2 O and SO 2 poisoning. This study focused on doping modification of La 0.875 Ce 0.125 CoO 3 perovskite with promoters and conducted a thorough investigation on the H 2 O and SO 2 resistance through characterization and DFT methods. Experimental results demonstrated that the LCeCO/30 wt% ZrO 2 possessed optimal H 2 O and SO 2 resistance. Under high sulfur (1500 ppm SO 2 ) and high humidity (10 % H 2 O(g)) conditions, it maintained approximately 91 % Hg 0 removal efficiency after thermal regeneration cycles. Characterization results indicated that ZrO 2 doping facilitated the formation of three-dimensional macroporous structure and protected active Co 3+ sites on the surface. Based on DFT calculations, the H 2 O poisoning is attributed to competitive adsorption between H 2 O(g) and Hg 0 on the active sites. Also, the SO 2 poisoning occurs due to competitive adsorption of SO 2 and the toxicity of sulfates to the surface active sites. Meanwhile, ZrO 2 doping can lower the adsorption energies of H 2 O(g) and SO 2 by modifying their adsorption configuration, thus weakening the competitive adsorption of H 2 O(g) and SO 2 with Hg 0 . Overall, LCeCO/ZrO 2 is a promising Hg 0 removal catalyst with superior H 2 O and SO 2 resistance.

Plants are constantly challenged by a multitude of pathogens and pests, which causes massive yield and quality losses annually. A promising approach to reduce such losses is to enhance the immune system of plants through genetic engineering. Previous work has shown that laccases (p-diphenol:dioxygen oxidoreductase, EC 1.10.3.2) function as lignin polymerization enzymes. Here we demonstrate that transgenic manipulation of the expression of the laccase gene GhLac1 in cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) can confer an enhanced defense response to both pathogens and pests. Overexpression of GhLac1 leads to increased lignification, associated with increased tolerance to the fungal pathogen Verticillium dahliae and to the insect pests cotton bollworm (Helicoverpa armigera) and cotton aphid (Aphis gosypii). Suppression of GhLac1 expression leads to a redirection of metabolic flux in the phenylpropanoid pathway, causing the accumulation of JA and secondary metabolites that confer resistance to V. dahliae and cotton bollworm; it also leads to increased susceptibility to cotton aphid. Plant laccases therefore provide a new molecular tool to engineer pest and pathogen resistance in crops.

Ag-coated Cu particles (Cu@Ag particles) are highly anticipated bimetallic materials with wide electronic applications. However, it is still crucially challenging to obtain well-covered Ag shells and facilitate the synthetic process, and the sintering/migration behaviors of Cu@Ag particles are also poorly understood. In this study, we develop a facile Ag coating method for Cu@Ag particles with the assistance of double complexing agents. Electrochemical analysis reveals that the complexing effect can effectively reduce the potential difference of the Cu-Ag replacement reaction, and thereby improve the coating quality. Cu@Ag particles with compact and uniform Ag shells are obtained, with Ag contents as low as ~10 at%. The as-prepared Cu@Ag particles show significantly improved oxidation resistance and reliable sintering property. Moreover, the Cu@Ag particles exhibit superior ion migration resistance even better than both Cu and Ag particles under an oxygen-containing environment. The results could provide helpful basis for understanding the synthesis, sintering and migration processes of Cu@Ag particles. The comprehensive performance of Cu@Ag particles makes them a promising interconnected material in future electronic industry.

Ultra-high temperature ceramic composites (UHTCCs) with low density and exceptional heat resistance are essential for hypersonic vehicle applications, enabling increased payload capacity and higher Mach numbers. However, developing a fabrication process that enables UHTCCs with both lightweight and superior thermal protection performance is still a challenge. To tackle this problem, in this study, a combinatorial process of vibration-assisted slurry impregnation and polymer infiltration pyrolysis was developed to fabricate gradient lightweight C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composites, consisting of continuous carbon fiber fabric, ZrB 2 -SiC and a carbon aerogels (CAs) layer. The resulting composites exhibit a low density of (0.62–0.96 g cm −3 ) but excellent oxidation and ablation resistance, which can withstand ultrahigh temperatures between 2100 °C and 2500 °C. The porous C f /CAs layer, with a density of 0.38 g cm −3 and specific bending and compressive strengths of 43.47 MPa/(g cm −3 ) and 15.53 MPa/(g cm −3 ), respectively, provides both structural integrity and lightweight properties to the C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composite. Furthermore, the density of the composites can be precisely tailored by adjusting the thickness of the C f /ZrB 2 -SiC layer, allowing for customized fabrication to meet diverse service environment requirements. This flexibility highlights the adaptability of the combined processing techniques. The unique combination of controllable low-density properties and exceptional oxidation and ablation resistance endows gradient lightweight C f /ZrB 2 -SiC composites are promising as lightweight, ultra-high temperature thermal protection systems for hypersonic vehicle applications.

Azadirachtin, a natural sesquiterpenoid compound, exhibits broad-spectrum insecticidal activity, yet its mechanism of action remains incompletely understood. This study aimed to elucidate its toxicological mechanisms by developing an azadirachtin-resistant Drosophila strain through continuous laboratory selection. After five years of directional screening, we successfully established the Aza-Sel strain with a resistance ratio of 86.7-fold. Genetic analysis revealed that the resistance trait is incompletely recessive and polygenic in nature. Detoxification enzyme and synergism assays demonstrated that elevated activities of glutathione-S-transferases and esterases play crucial roles in the metabolic resistance of this strain. Cross-resistance spectrum analysis showed that the Aza-Sel strain exhibited 12.4-fold and 6.7-fold cross-resistance to emamectin benzoate and dinotefuran, respectively, while displaying negative cross-resistance to chlorpyrifos and indoxacarb, with no significant cross-resistance to other tested insecticides. Notably, the resistant strain exhibited substantial fitness costs: significant developmental delays across all stages (egg, larva, pupa), prolonged developmental duration, markedly reduced fecundity and egg hatch rate, and significantly shortened male longevity. These findings indicate that the azadirachtin-resistant strain bears severe fitness costs, which may account for the slow development of resistance under laboratory selection conditions. The results confirm the significant advantages of azadirachtin in integrated pest management, particularly its negative cross-resistance characteristics with emamectin benzoate and indoxacarb, making it an ideal option for managing resistant pests.

Wild oat ( Avena fatua L.) is a common and problematic weed in wheat fields in China. In recent years, farmers found it increasingly difficult to control A. fatua using acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase)-inhibiting herbicides. The purpose of this study was to identify the molecular basis of clodinafop-propargyl resistance in A. fatua . In comparison to the S1496 population, whole dose response studies revealed that the R1623 and R1625 populations were 71.71- and 67.76-fold resistant to clodinafop-propargyl, respectively. The two resistant A. fatua populations displayed high resistance to fenoxaprop-p-ethyl (APP) and low resistance to clethodim (CHD) and pinoxaden (PPZ), but they were still sensitive to the ALS inhibitors mesosulfuron-methyl and pyroxsulam. An Ile-2041-Asn mutation was identified in both resistant individual plants. The copy number and relative expression of the ACCase gene in the resistant population were not significantly different from those in the S1496 population. Under the application of 2160 g ai ha −1 of clodinafop-propargyl, the fresh weight of the R1623 population was reduced to 74.9%; however, pretreatment with the application of the cytochrome P450 inhibitor malathion and the GST inhibitor NBD-Cl reduced the fresh weight to 50.91% and 47.16%, respectively, which proved the presence of metabolic resistance. This is the first report of an Ile-2041-Asn mutation and probable metabolic resistance in A. fatua , resulting in resistance to clodinafop-propargyl.

Salmonella enterica is a common foodborne pathogen that poses significant safety risks across the world. And benzalkonium bromide (BK) is widely used as a disinfectant to sterilize the food processing equipment. It has been reported that sub-lethal concentration of disinfectants induced not only the homologous resistance but also cross-resistances. This work analyzed the induced resistances of Salmonella Enteritidis by short-term adaptation (STA) and long-term adaptation (LTA) to BK. We have demonstrated that inefficient sterilization exposes Salmonella Enteritidis to sub-lethal concentrations of BK, and adapts bacteria to a higher minimum inhibitory concentration and minimum bactericidal concentration. In addition, STA, but not LTA, to BK induced heterogeneous resistance to sodium hypochlorite, and cross-resistance to freezing, desiccation, and heating, which may be caused by the membrane composition change of Salmonella Enteritidis. This work could be useful to the optimization of cleaning protocol.

The existence of sulfur dioxide and water vapor in the flue gas generated from waste-to-energy stations could lead to catalyst deactivation , which has adverse effects on NO x removal. It is thus particularly important to study the reaction mechanism of catalyst resistance to poisoning. Herein, we report the mechanism of In-Co 3 O 4 -Ga 2 O 3 /H-Beta catalyst to SO 2 and H 2 O resistance in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO x by CH 4 . The catalyst could achieve 74.6% NO x removal efficiency in the presence of 100 ppm SO 2 and 5% H 2 O. In this catalyst, Co 3 O 4 is attributed to enhancing the reversible poisoning of SO 2 and CH 4 activation and increasing the number of Brønsted acid sites by decomposing H 2 O. However, the InO + active center was still eroded by a small amount of water vapor, leading to a reduction in NO x removal efficiency. The addition of Ga 2 O 3 primarily provided an important intermediate NO 2 for CH 4 -SCR reaction and reduced the aggregates of Co 3 O 4 to increase the exposure of indium sites, and could reduce a part of SO 2 to S 2− . This study provides a good candidate for preparing catalysts with superior resistance towards SO 2 and H 2 O for CH 4 -SCR.

Ion gels, polymer networks swollen with ionic liquid (IL), are ideal materials for application in flexible electronic devices. It remains a challenge to fabricate an ion gel with photo-healing, high mechanical properties, fatigue resistance and shear resistance. Herein, a well-defined diblock copolymer polystyrene- b -poly(methyl acrylate- r -7-(2′-methacryloyloyloxyethoxy)-4-methylcoumarin) (PS- b -P(DMA- r -MAOEMC), brief name: SMM, PS: IL-phobic segment and P(DMA- r -MAOEMC): IL-philic segment) was synthesized by reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization. For comparison, a random copolymer P(DMA- r -MAOEMC) (MM) also be prepared. In dilute solution, the SMM can form spherical micelles with PS-core surrounded by P(DMA- r -MAOEMC) corona chains in an IL, 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethane sulfone)amide ([C 2 mim][NTf 2 ]). In a suitable polymer concentration, the SMM and MM can form ion gels in [C 2 mim][NTf 2 ] under 365 nm UV light irradiation through photo-dimerization of coumarin groups in corona MM polymer chains of spherical micelles and photo-dimerization of coumarin groups in MM random polymer chains, respectively. Compared with the MM ion gel, the SMM ion gel has high mechanical properties, shear resistance and relatively high fatigue resistance. Under 254 nm UV light irradiation, photo-induced gel to jammed micelles transition for the SMM ion gel and photo-induced gel to sol transition for the MM ion gel occur due to photo-cleavage of dimer in polymer chains. Photo-induced jammed micelles - gel transition for the SMM ion gel and photo-induced sol - gel transition for the MM ion gel are reversible by alternating 365 nm and 254 nm UV light irradiation, whereby photo-healable materials can be fabricated. Compared to the MM ion gel, the SMM ion gel has high photo-healing efficiency. The electrochemical property of the SMM ion gel can be recovered completely after photo-healing.
