Abstract:
Nanocrystalline forms of metal oxides, including binary metal oxide, perovskite type metal oxides, and complex metal oxides, including doped metal oxides, are provided. Methods of preparation of the nanocrystals are also provided. The nanocrystals, including uncapped and uncoated metal oxide nanocrystals, can be dispersed in a liquid to provide dispersions that are stable and do not precipitate over a period of time ranging from hours to months. Methods of preparation of the dispersions, and methods of use of the dispersions in forming films, are likewise provided. The films can include an organic, inorganic, or mixed organic/inorganic matrix. The films can be substantially free of all organic materials. The films can be used as coatings, or can be used as dielectric layers in a variety of electronics applications, for example as a dielectric material for an ultracapacitor, which can include a mesoporous material. Or the films can be used as a high-K dielectric in organic field-effect transistors. In various embodiments, a layered gate dielectric can include spin-cast (e.g., 8 nm-diameter) high-K BaTiO3 nanocrystals and parylene-C for pentacene OFETs.

Abstract:
A histone deacetylase gene OsHDT1 which enhances utilization of heterosis in rice is isolated and cloned, said gene consisting of: 1) the DNA sequence of positions 1-894 in SEQ ID NO:1 in the Sequence listing; or 2) a DNA sequence which encodes the same protein as that encoded by the DNA sequence of 1). The histone deacetylase gene OsHDT1 is associated with enhanced utilization of heterosis in rice. When the transgenic plants having no phenotype were crossed with “Zhenshan 97A”, the F1 overexpression hybrid plants have obviously earlier flowering period than F1 wild-type hybrid plants. Moreover, the RNAi inhibition hybrid plants have a decreased seed setting rate compared to the negative control hybrid plants, while the parent RNAi inhibition plants and negative control plants shows no evident difference in the trait of seed setting rate. Western blotting revealed that the gene is capable of deacetylating histone, mainly at H4K16 site. In addition, there exist significant differences in the level of histone modification among “Minghui 63”, “Zhenshan 97” and “Shanyou63”.
