An outstanding goal in quantum optics and scalable photonic quantum technology is to develop a source that each time emits one and only one entangled photon pair with simultaneously high entanglement fidelity, extraction efficiency, and photon indistinguishability. By coherent two-photon excitation of a single InGaAs quantum dot coupled to a circular Bragg grating bull's-eye cavity with a broadband high Purcell factor of up to 11.3, we generate entangled photon pairs with a state fidelity of 0.90(1), pair generation rate of 0.59(1), pair extraction efficiency of 0.62(6), and photon indistinguishability of 0.90(1) simultaneously. Our work will open up many applications in high-efficiency multiphoton experiments and solid-state quantum repeaters.

Single quantum emitters (SQEs) are at the heart of quantum optics and photonic quantum-information technologies. To date, all the demonstrated solid-state single-photon sources are confined to one-dimensional (1D; ref. 3) or 3D materials. Here, we report a new class of SQEs based on excitons that are spatially localized by defects in 2D tungsten-diselenide (WSe₂) monolayers. The optical emission from these SQEs shows narrow linewidths of ∼130μeV, about two orders of magnitude smaller than those of delocalized valley excitons. Second-order correlation measurements revealed a strong photon antibunching, which unambiguously established the single-photon nature of the emission. The SQE emission shows two non-degenerate transitions, which are cross-linearly polarized. We assign this fine structure to two excitonic eigenmodes whose degeneracy is lifted by a large ∼0.71meV coupling, probably because of the electron-hole exchange interaction in the presence of anisotropy. Magneto-optical measurements also reveal an exciton g factor of ∼8.7, several times larger than those of delocalized valley excitons. In addition to their fundamental importance, establishing new SQEs in 2D quantum materials could give rise to practical advantages in quantum-information processing, such as an efficient photon extraction and a high integratability and scalability.

High-fidelity entanglement of neutral cold atoms can be achieved by combining several already available techniques such as the creation or dissociation of neutral diatomic molecules, manipulating atoms with microfabricated structures (atom chips), and detecting single atoms with almost 100% efficiency. The fidelity of the resulting entanglement is robust against the details of dissociation process. Manipulating this entanglement with integrated or linear atom optics will open a perspective for quantum-information processing with neutral atoms.

Single-photon avalanche diodes (SPADs) are widely used for practical applications requiring single-photon detection. The readout circuit, or quenching electronics, plays an important role for the operations of SPADs. Sine wave gating (SWG) is one of the key techniques for synchronous single-photon detection that can easily operate SPADs with a gating frequency as high as GHz level. Here we present a monolithic readout circuit for 1.25 GHz SWG SPADs. The monolithic chip, including a low-noise amplifier and two low-pass filters inside, is designed for weak avalanche extraction in the SWG scheme and fabricated using the technology of low temperature co-fired ceramic with a size of 15 mm × 15 mm. We then apply the monolithic chip into an InGaAs/InP single-photon detector (SPD). After the characterization both on the monolithic chip and the InGaAs/InP SPD, the functionality of the monolithic readout circuit is effectively verified. Implementing the monolithic integration of readout circuit is a key step towards developing miniaturized InGaAs/InP SPDs.

Aluminum-induced cell death was investigated in root-tip cells of barley (Hordeum vulgare). The growth of roots in 0.1-50 mM Al treatments was inhibited after 8 h treatments, and could not be recovered after 24 h recovery culture without Al. Viable detection with fluorescein diacetate-propidium iodide (FDA-PI) staining shows that most of the root-tip cells have lost viability. These results suggest that the irreversible inhibition of root growth after 8 h Al treatments or 24 h recovery culture is mainly caused by cell death. DNA ladders occurred in root tips only after 8 h Al treatments (0.1-1.0 mM), but no apoptotic bodies in root tips were observed. Thus, the cell death caused by Al stress is likely to be Al-induced programmed cell death (PCD). The reactive oxygen species (ROS) in root-tip cells measured by ultraweak luminescence indicated that the oxidation status in root-tip cells basically ceased after exposure to 10-50 mM Al for 24 h, but was very violent in the root-tip cells treated with 0.1-1.0 mM for 24 h. Exposure to 0.1-1.0 mM Al for 3-12 h led to ROS burst. Therefore, our results suggest that 0.1-1.0 mM Al treatments for 8 h induce cell death (Al-induced PCD) possibly via a ROS-activated signal transduction pathway, whereas 10-50 mM Al treatments may cause necrosis in the root-tip cells. These results have an important role for further studies on the mechanism of Al toxicity in plants.

Endocytosis provides a major route of entry for membrane proteins, lipids, and extracellular molecules into the cell. Recent evidence indicates that multiple cellular processes require endocytosis, including nutrient uptake, signaling transduction, and plant-microbe interactions. Also, advanced microscopy, combined with biochemical and genetic approaches, has provided more insights into the molecular machinery and functions of endocytosis in plants. Here we review mechanisms of the clathrin-dependent and membrane microdomain-associated endocytic routes in plant cells. In addition, degradation of endocytosed proteins and endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT)-mediated vesicle formation at the endosome are discussed. Finally, we summarize the essential roles of various regulators during plant endocytosis.

Rice bacterial blight (BB), caused by Xanthomonas oryzae pv. Oryzae (Xoo), is a serious disease in rice production worldwide. Rice cv. Zhenhui 084, a newly developed strong indica restorer line, exhibits high resistance to most of the Philippine races of BB and has been widely used in rice hybrids in China; however, the resistance gene has not yet been cloned. Here, we show that the resistance of Zhenhui 084 to Xoo strains is similar to that of IRBB7 containing Xa7, a durable and broad resistance dominant gene for BB. To map the resistance gene in Zhenhui 084, a F₂ population with 331 highly susceptible individuals derived from a cross between Chenghui 448 and Zhenhui 084 was built. We finely mapped the target R gene to a region between two proximal markers RM20576 and MY4 in rice chromosome 6. A marker-based physical map of chromosome six was used to construct the contig covering the genomic region between two markers RM20576 and MY4. The target gene was assumed to be in an interval of approximate 200 kb, in which 16 candidate genes were predicted. Our findings will greatly facilitate the isolation and characterisation of the target R gene allelic to Xa7. Additionally, two PCR-based markers, tightly linked to the target R gene locus, will be a useful tool for the marker-assisted selection of the target R gene allelic to Xa7 in breeding programmes.

Bamboo (Phyllostachys praecox) is one of the largest members of the grass family Poaceae, and is one of the most economically important crops in Asia. However, complete knowledge of bamboo development and its molecular mechanisms is still lacking. In the present study, the differences in anatomical structure among rhizome buds, rhizome shoots, and bamboo shoots were compared, and several genes related to the development of the bamboo rhizome bud were identified. The rice cross-species microarray hybridization showed a total of 318 up-regulated and 339 down-regulated genes, including those involved in regulation and signalling, metabolism, and stress, and also cell wall-related genes, in the bamboo rhizome buds versus the leaves. By referring to the functional dissection of the homologous genes from Arabidopsis and rice, the putative functions of the 52 up-regulated genes in the bamboo rhizome bud were described. Six genes related to the development of the bamboo rhizome bud were further cloned and sequenced. These show 66-90% nucleotide identity and 68-98% amino acid identity with the homologous rice genes. The expression patterns of these genes revealed significant differences in rhizome shoots, rhizome buds, bamboo shoots, leaves, and young florets. Furthermore, in situ hybridization showed that the PpRLK1 gene is expressed in the procambium and is closely related to meristem development of bamboo shoots. The PpHB1 gene is expressed at the tips of bamboo shoots and procambium, and is closely related to rhizome bud formation and procambial development. To our knowledge, this is the first report that uses rice cross-species hybridization to identify genes related to bamboo rhizome bud development, and thereby contributes to the further understanding of the molecular mechanism involved in bamboo rhizome bud development.

A 3-setting Bell-type inequality enforced by the indeterminacy relation of complementary local observables is proposed as an experimental test of 2-qubit entanglement. The proposed inequality has the advantage of being a sufficient and necessary criterion of separability. Therefore any entangled 2-qubit state cannot escape the detection by this kind of test. It turns out that the orientation of the local testing observables plays a crucial role in our perfect detection of entanglement.

The progress of molecular biology attributes the complexity of life to the interaction of mass genes, and thus the traditional descriptive method in biology and analysis by disassembling faces the cruel challenge. The application of DNA chip and molecule array enables scientists to monitor the massively parallel expression of genes, which lead to emphasis of gene networks as a systematic, quantitative method in the research of life science. Based on the crossing of subjects on molecule biology, nonlinear maths and informatics, the object of gene networks is to construct the dynamics model which has nonlinear traits such as robustness, hierarchy and so on. The massive data of gene expression combined with fit algorithm can help scientists establish the topology of the interactions, by which the system behavior can be simulated. Contrariwise, the model established can direct the further experiments. To study gene networks the computer and Internet resource are very important. The study of gene networks will play an important role in the post-genome research.
