RESUMO

Photoacoustic tomography (PAT), also known as optoacoustic tomography, is an attractive imaging modality that provides optical contrast with acoustic resolutions. Recent progress in the applications of PAT largely relies on the development and employment of ultrasound sensor arrays with many elements. Although on-chip optical ultrasound sensors have been demonstrated with high sensitivity, large bandwidth, and small size, PAT with on-chip optical ultrasound sensor arrays is rarely reported. In this work, we demonstrate PAT with a chalcogenide-based micro-ring sensor array containing 15 elements, while each element supports a bandwidth of 175 MHz (-6 dB) and a noise-equivalent pressure of 2.2 mPaHz-1/2. Moreover, by synthesizing a digital optical frequency comb (DOFC), we further develop an effective means of parallel interrogation to this sensor array. As a proof of concept, parallel interrogation with only one light source and one photoreceiver is demonstrated for PAT with this sensor array, providing images of fast-moving objects, leaf veins, and live zebrafish. The superior performance of the chalcogenide-based micro-ring sensor array and the effectiveness of the DOFC-enabled parallel interrogation offer great prospects for advancing applications in PAT.

RESUMO

KEY MESSAGE: We identified and fine-mapped S58, a selfish genetic locus from Asian rice that confers hybrid male sterility in crosses between Asian and African cultivated rice, and found a natural neutral allele in Asian rice lines that will be useful for overcoming S58-mediated hybrid sterility. Hybrids between Asian cultivated rice (Oryza sativa L.) and African cultivated rice (Oryza glaberrima Steud) display severe hybrid sterility (HS), hindering the utilization of strong heterosis in hybrids between these species. Several African rice selfish loci causing HS in Asian-African cultivated rice hybrids have been identified, but few such Asian rice selfish loci have been found. In this study, we identified an Asian rice selfish locus, S58, which causes hybrid male sterility (HMS) in hybrids between the Asian rice variety 02428 and the African rice line CG14. Genetic analysis confirmed that S58 causes a transmission advantage for the Asian rice S58 allele in the hybrid offspring. Genetic mapping with near-isogenic lines and DNA markers delimited S58 to 186 kb and 131 kb regions of chromosome 1 in 02428 and CG14, respectively, and revealed complex genomic structural variation over these mapped regions. Gene annotation analysis and expression profiling analyses identified eight anther-expressed candidate genes potentially responsible for S58-mediated HMS. Comparative genomic analysis determined that some Asian cultivated rice varieties harbor a 140 kb fragment deletion in this region. Hybrid compatibility analysis showed that this large deletion allele in some Asian cultivated rice varieties can serve as a natural neutral allele, S58-n, that can overcome S58-mediated interspecific HMS. Our study demonstrates that this selfish genetic element from Asian rice is important for HMS between Asian and African cultivated rice, broadening our understanding of interspecific HS. This study also provides an effective strategy for overcoming HS in future interspecific rice breeding.

RESUMO

This paper presented a high-sensitivity humidity sensor comprised of a side-polished fiber with polymer nanostructure cladding, which was constructed by dehydrating dichromate gelatin film on the polished surface. Due to the intermodal interference of the core mode and cladding mode, two main transmission dips were observed at 1184.4 nm and 1325.6 nm. These two transmission dips showed significant sensitivity to humidity. The position of transmission dip at 1325.6 nm shifted 22 nm while the relative humidity (RH) changed from 30% RH to 50% RH. The humidity sensitivity was up to 1.12 nm/% RH, and its linear correlation was 98.45%. The humidity sensing characteristic of nanostructure cladding fiber was successfully demonstrated. This novel sensor is compatible with optical fiber systems and has high potential in optical sensing applications.
