RESUMO

Copper-based (I) halide perovskites have emerged as a promising candidate for scintillation screens in X-ray inspection and imaging areas due to their solution processability and high light yield. Here, a centimeter-sized Cs3Cu2Cl5 single crystal was grown by a slow-cooling method. The planar orientation was controlled in a space-confined chamber, generating a planar crystal which is readily used for a scintillation screen without any further shaping. The crystal exhibited a unity photoluminescence quantum yield and superior scintillation performance. The Cs3Cu2Cl5 single crystal exhibited a high light yield up to 95,000 photons/MeV, which enabled an X-ray detector of a detection limit down to 2.7 µGyair/s. The homemade imager demonstrated a spatial resolution of 105 lp/mm, representing an unprecedented micrometer resolution in laboratory. Importantly, the stability of Cs3Cu2Cl5 was significantly improved by a new surface passivation procedure, whereby the passivated crystal reserved its phase after 6 months' storage in a vial. This work introduced a new solution-based synthetic method for two-dimensional scintillating crystals, opening many avenues to high-performance X-ray imaging applications.

RESUMO

The Loess Plateau is the main apple production area in China; low precipitation is one of the most important factors limiting apple production here. Autophagy is a conserved process in eukaryotes that recycles cell contents or damaged macromolecules. Previously, we identified an autophagy-related gene MdATG10 from apple plants, which was involved in the responses to stressed conditions. In this study, we found that MdATG10 improved the drought tolerance and water use efficiency (WUE) of transgenic apple plants. MdATG10-overexpressing (OE) apple plants were more tolerant of short-term drought stress, as evidenced by their fewer drought-related injuries, compared with wild-type (WT) apple plants. In addition, the WUE of OE plants was higher than that of WT plants under long-term moderate water deficit conditions. The growth rate, biomass accumulation, photosynthetic efficiency, and stomatal aperture were higher in OE plants than in WT plants under long-term moderate drought conditions. During the process of adapting to drought, the expressions of genes involved in the abscisic acid (ABA) pathway were reduced in OE plants to decrease the synthesis of ABA, which helped maintain the stomatal opening for gas exchange. Furthermore, autophagic activity was higher in OE plants than in WT plants, as evidenced by the higher expressions of ATG genes and the greater number of autophagy bodies. In sum, our results suggested that overexpression of MdATG10 improved drought tolerance and WUE in apple plants, possibly by regulating stomatal movement and enhancing autophagic activity, which then enhanced the photosynthetic efficiency and reduced damage, as well as the reactive oxygen species (ROS) accumulation in apple plants.
