AbstractThe LOX genes have been identified and characterized in many plant species, but studies on the banana LOX genes are very limited. In this study, we respectively identified 18 MaLOX, 11 MbLOX, and 12 MiLOX genes from the Musa acuminata, M. balbisiana and M. itinerans genome data, investigated their gene structures and characterized the physicochemical properties of their encoded proteins. Banana LOXs showed a preference for using and ending with G/C and their encoded proteins can be classified into 9-LOX, Type I 13-LOX and Type II 13-LOX subfamilies. The expansion of the MaLOXs might result from the combined actions of genome-wide, tandem, and segmental duplications. However, tandem and segmental duplications contribute to the expansion of MbLOXs. Transcriptome data based gene expression analysis showed that MaLOX1, 4, and 7 were highly expressed in fruit and their expression levels were significantly regulated by ethylene. And 11, 12 and 7 MaLOXs were found to be low temperature-, high temperature-, and Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. Cubense tropical race 4 (FocTR4)-responsive, respectively. MaLOX8, 9 and 13 are responsive to all the three stresses, MaLOX4 and MaLOX12 are high temperature- and FocTR4-responsive; MaLOX6 and MaLOX17 are significantly induced by low temperature and FocTR4; and the expression of MaLOX7 and MaLOX16 are only affected by high temperature. Quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis revealed that the expression levels of several MaLOXs are regulated by MeJA and FocTR4, indicating that they can increase the resistance of banana by regulating the JA pathway. Additionally, the weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA) of MaLOXs revealed 3 models respectively for 5 (MaLOX7-11), 3 (MaLOX6, 13, and 17), and 1 (MaLOX12) MaLOX genes. Our findings can provide valuable information for the characterization, evolution, diversity and functionality of MaLOX, MbLOX and MiLOX genes and are helpful for understanding the roles of LOXs in banana growth and development and adaptations to different stresses.

Abstract Low-temperature impact ionization breakdown in p-type germanium crystals gives rise to spontaneous oscillations of the current flow. We demonstrate experimental evidence of a particularly high-conducting dynamical state that is limited to a finite parameter regime of the current versus magnetic field characteristic. After bifurcation from a coexisting nonoscillatory state to periodicity, one observes a type-I intermittent transition to chaos and, eventually, a jump back to the nonoscil­latory branch upon increasing the magnetic field control parameter. The scaling behavior of the underlying saddle-node bifurcation, already found in time-resolved measurements, also becomes visible in a square-root dependence of the time-averaged current developing both prior to and after the critical point. Our result might be of interest for time-averaged information is accessible.

The visible-near-i.r.-region m.c.d. (magnetic-circular-dichroism) spectrum recorded at low temperature in the range 450-900 nm is reported for oxidized resting mammalian cytochrome c oxidase. M.c.d. magnetization curves determined at different wavelengths reveal the presence of two paramagnetic species. Curves at 576, 613 and 640 nm fit well to those expected for an x,y-polarized haem transition with g values of 3.03, 2.21 and 1.45, i.e. cytochrome a3+. The m.c.d. features at 515, 785 and 817 nm magnetize as a S = 1/2 paramagnet with average g values close to 2, and simulated m.c.d. magnetization curves obtained by using the observed g values of CuA2+, i.e. 2.18, 2.03 and 1.99, fit well to the experimental observations. The form of the m.c.d. magnetization curve at 466 nm is curious, but it can be explained if CuA2+ and cytochrome a3+ contribute with oppositely signed bands at this wavelength. By comparing the m.c.d. spectrum of the enzyme with that of extracted haem a-bisimidazole complex it has been possible to deconvolute the m.c.d. spectrum of CuA2+, which shows transitions throughout the spectral region from 450 to 950 nm. The m.c.d.-spectral properties of CuA2+ were compared with those of a well-defined type I blue copper centre in azurin isolated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The absolute intensities of the m.c.d. signals at equal fields and temperatures for CuA2+ are 10-20-fold greater than those for azurin. The optical spectrum of CuA2+ strongly suggests an assignment as a d9 ion rather than Cu(I) bound to a thiyl radical.

AbstractEfficient, low-temperature luminescence at energies far above that of the exciting cw-laser is reported at junctions of GaAs-GaInP2 and GaAs-AlxGa1−x.InP2. The signal originates from the high-band gap layers and disappears only if the excitation energy is tuned below the GaAs band gap, as monitored by up-converted photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy. This shows that the non-linear process is induced by the generation of electrons and holes in the GaAs. Furthermore, it is found that the up-conversion is only observed if the (A1)GaInP2 layers are CuPtB long-range ordered. The reason for this is the inherent presence of metastable states in these ordered alloys. It is argued that cold Auger processes cause the nonlinear effect at these type I interfaces.
