The widely used rice variety Lijiangxintuanheigu (LTH) shows a universal susceptibility to thousands of Magnaporthe oryzae isolates, the causal agent of devastating rice blast, making LTH an ideal line in resistance (R) gene cloning. However, the underlying genetic mechanism of the universal susceptibility has not been fully revealed because of the lack of a high-quality genome. Here, we took a genomic approach together with experimental assays to investigate LTH’s universal susceptibility to rice blast. Using Nanopore long reads, we assembled a chromosome-level genome. Millions of genomic variants were detected by comparing LTH with 10 other rice varieties, of which large-effect variants could affect plant immunity. Gene family analyses show that the number of R genes and leucine-rich repeat receptor-like protein kinase (LRR-RLK)-encoding genes decrease significantly in LTH. Rice blast resistance genes called Pi genes are either absent or disrupted by genomic variations. Additionally, residual R genes of LTH are likely under weak pathogen selection pressure, and other plant defense-related genes are weakly induced by rice blast. In contrast, the pattern-triggered immunity (PTI) of LTH is normal, as demonstrated by experimental assays. Therefore, we conclude that weak effector-trigger immunity (ETI)-mediated primarily by Pi genes but not PTI results in the universal susceptibility of LTH to rice blast. The attenuated ETI of LTH may be also associated with reduced numbers of R genes and LRR-RLKs, and minimally functional residual defense-related genes. Finally, we demonstrate the use of the LTH genome by rapid cloning of the Pi gene Piak from a resistant variety.

We have made the first observation of superconductivity in ${\mathrm{TlNi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{2}$ at ${T}_{C}=3.7\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$, and it appears to involve heavy electrons with an effective mass ${m}^{*}=(14--20){m}_{b}$, as inferred from the normal-state electronic specific heat and the upper critical field, ${H}_{C2}(T)$. We found that the zero-field electronic specific-heat data, ${C}_{\mathrm{es}}(T)$ ($0.5\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}\ensuremath{\le}Tl3.7\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{K}$) in the superconducting state can be fitted with a two-gap BCS model, indicating that ${\mathrm{TlNi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{2}$ seems to be a multiband superconductor, which is consistent with the band calculation for the isostructural ${\mathrm{KNi}}_{2}{\mathrm{S}}_{2}$. It is also found that the electronic specific-heat coefficient in the mixed state ${\ensuremath{\gamma}}_{N}(H)$ exhibits a ${H}^{1/2}$ behavior, which is considered as a common feature of the $d$-wave superconductors. ${\mathrm{TlNi}}_{2}{\mathrm{Se}}_{2}$, as a $d$-electron system with heavy electron superconductivity, may be a bridge between cuprate- or iron-based and conventional heavy-fermion superconductors.

We study the Bondi-Sachs rockets with nonzero cosmological constant. We observe that the acceleration of the systems arises naturally in the asymptotic symmetries of (anti-) de Sitter spacetimes. Assuming the validity of the concepts of energy and mass previously introduced in asymptotically flat spacetimes, we find that the emission of pure radiation energy balances the loss of the Bondi mass in certain special families of the Bondi-Sachs rockets, so in these there is no gravitational radiation., Comment: 12 pages, to appear in General Relativity and Gravitation

To constrain cosmological parameters, one often makes a joint analysis with different combinations of observational data sets. In this paper we take the figure of merit (FoM) for Dark Energy Task Force fiducial model (CPL model) to estimate goodness of different combinations of data sets, which include 11 widely-used observational data sets (Type Ia Supernovae, Observational Hubble Parameter, Baryon Acoustic Oscillation, Cosmic Microwave Background, X-ray Cluster Baryon Mass Fraction, and Gamma-Ray Bursts). We analyze different combinations and make a comparison for two types of combination based on two types of basic combinations, which are often adopted in the literatures. We find two sets of combinations, which have strong ability to constrain the dark energy parameters, one has the largest FoM, the other contains less observational data with a relative large FoM and a simple fitting procedure., Comment: To be published in Phys.Rev.D, 20 pages, 4 tables

We study a phenomenological dark energy model which is rooted in the Veneziano ghost of QCD. In this dark energy model, the energy density of dark energy is proportional to Hubble parameter and the proportional coefficient is of the order $\Lambda^3_{QCD}$, where $\Lambda_{QCD}$ is the mass scale of QCD. The universe has a de Sitter phase at late time and begins to accelerate at redshift around $z_{acc}\sim0.6$. We also fit this model and give the constraints on model parameters, with current observational data including SnIa, BAO, CMB, BBN and Hubble parameter data. We find that the squared sound speed of the dark energy is negative, which may cause an instability. We also study the cosmological evolution of the dark energy with interaction with cold dark matter., Comment: 20 pages,10 figures,Correct some typos and add new references

We investigate dynamical behavior of the equation of state of dark energy $w_{de}$ by employing the linear-spline method in the region of low redshifts from observational data (SnIa, BAO, CMB and 12 $H(z)$ data). The redshift is binned and $w_{de}$ is approximated by a linear expansion of redshift in each bin. We leave the divided points of redshift bins as free parameters of the model, the best-fitted values of divided points will represent the turning positions of $w_{de}$ where $w_{de}$ changes its evolving direction significantly (if there exist such turnings in our considered region). These turning points are natural divided points of redshift bins, and $w_{de}$ between two nearby divided points can be well approximated by a linear expansion of redshift. We find two turning points of $w_{de}$ in $z\in(0,1.8)$ and one turning point in $z\in (0,0.9)$, and $w_{de}(z)$ could be oscillating around $w=-1$. Moreover, we find that there is a $2\sigma$ deviation of $w_{de}$ from -1 around $z=0.9$ in both correlated and uncorrelated estimates., Comment: Accepted by JCAP; 16 pages, 3 figures

It is possible that there exist some interactions between dark energy (DE) and dark matter (DM), and a suitable interaction can alleviate the coincidence problem. Several phenomenological interacting forms are proposed and are fitted with observations in the literature. In this paper we investigate the possible interaction in a way independent of specific interacting forms by use of observational data (SNe, BAO, CMB and Hubble parameter). We divide the whole range of redshift into a few bins and set the interacting term $\delta(z)$ to be a constant in each redshift bin. We consider four parameterizations of the equation of state $w_{de}$ for DE and find that $\delta(z)$ is likely to cross the non-interacting ($\delta=0$) and have an oscillation form. It suggests that to study the interaction between DE and DM, more general phenomenological forms of the interacting term should be considered., Comment: 14 pages, 3 figures, 2 tables

After our first discovery of multi-band superconductivity (SC) in the TlNi2Se2 crystal, we successfully grew a series of TlNi2Se(2-x)S(x) (0.0 ≤ x ≤ 2.0) single crystals. Measurements of resistivity, specific heat, and susceptibility were carried out on these crystals. Superconductivity with T(C) = 2.3 K was first observed in the TlNi2S2 crystal, which also appears to involve heavy electrons with an effective mass m* = 13-25 m(b), as inferred from the normal state electronic specific heat and the upper critical field, H(C2)(T). It was found that bulk SC and heavy-electron behavior is preserved in all the studied TlNi2Se(2-x)S(x) samples. In the mixed state, a novel change of the field dependence of the residual specific heat coefficient, γ(N)(H), occurs in TlNi2Se(2-x)S(x) with increasing S content. We also found that the T(C) value changes with the disorder degree induced by the partial substitution of S for Se, characterized by the residual resistivity ratio (RRR). Thus, the TlNi2Se(2-x)S(x) system provides a platform to study the effect of disorder on the multi-band SC.
