Effect of Cd–Zn compound contamination on the physiological response of broad bean and aphids by Liya Chen, Sijing Wan, Qintian Shen, Keting Zhao, Yanlan He, Yexin Xie, Shiyu Tao, Shuchang Zheng, Yi Zhang, Shigui Wang, Bin Tang, Yan Li, Yan Li

“…However, research on the toxic effect of the Cd–Zn combination is still lacking, and the underlying toxic mechanisms remain unclear.MethodsTherefore, in this experiment, we established four treatment groups with different ratios of Cd–Zn compound stress for the broad bean, Vicia faba L., and aphids, Megoura crassicauda, to explore the growth and physiological adaptation mechanisms under different levels of mixed heavy metal stress.ResultsBy measuring the germination rate, seedling height, and chlorophyll content of broad beans, we found that Cd–Zn-mixed stress has a synergistic inhibitory effect on the growth and development of broad beans. …”

Subwavelength-scale off-axis optical nanomanipulation within Gaussian-beam traps by Zhou Lei-Ming, Sun Wan, Tao Zong-Qiang, Xiong Ning-Jun, Huang Chan, Jiang Xiao-Yun, Ren Yu-Xuan, Yang Yuanjie, Shi Yu-Zhi, Hu Ji-Gang, Zhan Qiwen

“…It is generally recognized that there is only a single optical potential-well near the focus in optical traps with a focused Gaussian beam. In this work, we show that this classic Gaussian-beam optical trap has additional optical potential-wells for optical manipulation at the subwavelength scale in the off-focus transverse plane. …”
