Phylogenomic and morphological evidence reveal a new species of spider lily, Lycoris longifolia (Amaryllidaceae) from China

Abstract

Lycoris longifolia, a new species from China, was described and illustrated here. Our phylogenomic evidence based on whole plastomes strongly supported the separate phylogenetic position of this new species, and it could also be easily distinguished by several morphological characters, such as its long leaves with a distinct purplish-red midrib on the abaxial surface.

Anomalous Temperature-Induced Particle Size Reduction in Manganese Oxide Nanoparticles

“…Additionally, the particle size distribution (Figure 3(c),3(f)) shows a more inhomogeneous and broadened distribution for MO150, while MO90 exhibits a narrower distribution. This has been further explained through the Ostwald ripening 44 MnO hydrothermal 100−175 increase -Liang et al 45 MnO hydrothermal, electrolysis 60−150 increase increase Haris et al 46 Manganese oxide nanowires hydrothermal 200−250 increase increase Dunne et al 47 Fe 2 O 3 hydrothermal 200−400 increase -Liu et al 48 LiMnO 4 hydrothermal 70−190 increase increase Lester et al 49 Co 50 TiO 2 hydrothermal 120−180 similar increase Xia et al 51 SiOC solvothermal 140−180 increase -Yamada et al 52 BaTiO 3 solvothermal 150−200 increase increase Lin et al 53 Mn x Zn mechanism, in which two regimes of self-sharpening and broadening distribution have been well-demonstrated; 54 in other words, more homogeneous particles were obtained through distinct separation of the nucleation state and growth state. This could be rationalized through the LaMer mechanism of nanoparticle formation, which is defined as the accumulation of monomers in the early stages, followed by short burst nucleation with subsequent particle growth.…”
