Embodiment
1.1 it is nanocrystalline that surface adsorption/absorption absorbs emissivity
The multiple method that the color of flower (flora) and leaf (foliage) is modified is arranged.Compare with genetic modification, because technology is easy, so physical method is more attractive.By the nanocrystalline surface adsorption/absorption of emissivity is carried out in orchid (for example: spend the stem of noble dendrobium in vain) dip-coating in the nanocrystalline solution of CdZnSe, this orchid excites 302/345nm to excite the flower (Fig. 1) that shows high emission down at UV.
It is nanocrystalline that root is taken in the emissivity that is in the octadecylene
Because cell walls and the skin material of plant mainly are made of longer chain fatty acid, so we have designed and are scattered in long chain hydrocarbon (for example: the emissivity octadecylene) is nanocrystalline.Then, spend dendrobium in vain and take in the identical CdZnSe nanocrystalline (quantum dot) that is dissolved in the octadecylene.Special when being used for the transhipment passage of organic medium when lacking, quantum dot is diffused in the flower with extremely slow speed.Under UV excites, have the abundant absorption of the minimum 1 hour absorption of the luminous needs of visible and then need 3 hours.Compare with the diffusion of veiny (vein-like) fluorescent yellow, observe nanocrystalline periphery (periphery) and be ingested with higher speed along sepal.Then, begin diffusion in weak (less) directed mode from the edge of mediad petal and sepal.This can with octadecylene with the explaining of the chemical compatibility of the stratum corneum (cuticular) of plant and cell walls height.15 hours absorption makes whole flower all develop the color (Fig. 2, the picture of below).
Usually, can say so also that (for example: the absorption time mixture of different types of nanocrystalline or other organic dye or nanocrystalline and organic dye) can be controlled the dyeing of plant by changing staining agent.In an example, can use the mixture of the nanocrystalline and fluorescent yellow of CdZnSe.To the solution that contains two kinds of staining agents carry out the absorption of short period of time can be so that vein be dyeed by fluorescent yellow flower and sepal ovary zone, base portion and peripherally dyeed by CdZnSe is nanocrystalline.
Root is taken in emissivity quantum dot and dyestuff successively
Next explanation is dissolved in the absorption successively of the nanocrystalline and fluorescent yellow dye aqueous solution of CdZnSe in the octadecylene.Taking in nanocrystalline and organic dye successively can obtain multicolour and modify.By cutting stem, then fluorescent yellow is taken in (also by cutting stem) in the flower by 15 minutes absorption to the nanocrystalline absorption of carrying out 4 hours.To be ovary zone be the emission of uniting of fluorescent yellow-nanocrystalline to the result, this fluorescent yellow-nanocrystalline emission of uniting is expanded into the distinct emission opposite with petal and sepal, and is (minimum although the light field form (brightfield appearance) that Fig. 4 a) spends changes.
Under confocal microscope, observe cross section (Fig. 4 b) corresponding to the stem of above-mentioned absorption.Except that the standard confocal imaging, confocal light spectrum image-forming (spectral confocal image) is used to confirm the existence of CdZnSe nanocrystalline (quantum dot) and fluorescent yellow.By select suitable wavelengths, the increment and minimize autofluorescence of sampling, guaranteeing does not have crosstalk information, then confocal images is pure on spectrum.
Dyestuff and nanocrystalline specificity absorption on cell walls on the vertical section of stem, have further been studied.Consistently, observe clearly water base zone (water-based region) and observe hydrophobic region along vascular bundle around above-mentioned vascular bundle.Fluorescent yellow and nanocrystalline emission data have been compared in the spectroscopic analysis of the different zones in cross section.Based on above-mentioned dyestuff and nanocrystalline emission behavior, use confocal software on numeral, the expansible fragment to be reconstructed into corresponding hydrophobic cell signal and hydrophilic cell signal.
The white stem of noble dendrobium that use is purchased carries out dyestuff and nanocrystalline absorption.Stem cut and immerse this stem in the nanocrystalline 1-octadecylene solution of the CdZnSe of 0.001-1.0mmol/L (or be 0.03mol/L in this specific examples) or in uranine (Fluka 46960) aqueous solution of 0.001-1.0mmol/L (or being 0.03mol/L in this specific examples).If wish whole strain plant the visible color is arranged all, described stem was flooded about 4 hours in containing the nanocrystalline solution of CdZnSe, in containing the solution of fluorescent yellow, flooded 15 minutes then.Then, before drying, respectively with octadecylene or the described stem of water washing with the KimWipes toilet paper.Then with the image under the digital camera Cybershot DSC-T1 of the Sony shooting UV.
Carefully the section of stem section is used for confocal imaging with surgical knife.Then each stem section section is transferred on the microscope glass cover glass carefully.Use is equipped with the sample imaging of Nikon Clsi laser scanning confocal microscope to placing towards object lens of non-blended light spectrum image-forming and fluorescent probe.
