Summary CRISPR /Cas9 has been widely used for genome editing in many organisms, including important crops like wheat. Despite the tractability designing /Cas9, efficacy application of this powerful tool also depends on DNA delivery methods. In wheat, biolistics based transformation is most method complex. Due to high frequency gene silencing associated with co‐transferred plasmid backbone and low edit rate a large T 0 transgenic plant population are required recovery desired mutations, which...
Summary Polyploid wheats comprise four species: Triticum turgidum ( AABB genomes) and T. aestivum AABBDD ) in the Emmer lineage, timopheevii AAGG zhukovskyi AAGGA m A Timopheevi lineage. Genetic relationships between chloroplast genomes were studied to trace evolutionary history of species. Twenty‐five sequenced, 1127 plant accessions genotyped, representing 13 Aegilops The A. speltoides SS genome) diverged before divergence urartu AA ), tauschii DD species Sitopsis section. forms a...
Summary Increase in grain yield is always a major objective of wheat genetic improvement. The SQUAMOSA promoter‐binding protein‐like ( SPL ) genes, coding for small family diverse plant‐specific transcription factors, represent important targets improving and other agronomic traits rice. function the genes remains to be investigated this respect. In study, we identified 56 orthologues rice belonging 19 homoeologous groups. Like rice, nine orthologous TaSPL harbour microRNA156 recognition...
The CRISPR/Cas9 system has become a powerful tool for targeted mutagenesis. Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) is high yielding perennial grass species that been designated as model biomass crop by the U.S. Department of Energy. self-infertility and ploidy level make it difficult to study gene function or improve germplasm. To overcome these constraints, we explored feasibility using mutagenesis in tetraploid cultivar 'Alamo' switchgrass. We first developed transient assay which...
Cryptochromes (CRYs) are blue light receptors important for plant growth and development. Comprehensive information on monocot CRYs is currently only available rice (Oryza sativa). We report here the molecular functional characterization of two CRY genes, TaCRY1a TaCRY2, from wheat (Triticum aestivum). The expression was most abundant in seedling leaves barely detected roots germinating embryos under normal conditions. TaCRY2 equivalent to that much higher than counterpart. Transition dark...
Cuticular wax composition greatly impacts plant responses to dehydration. Two parallel pathways exist in Triticeae for manipulating composition: the acyl elongation, reduction, and decarbonylation pathway that is active at vegetative stage yields primary alcohols alkanes, β-diketone predominates reproductive synthesizes β-diketones. Variation glaucousness during of wheat mainly controlled by production genes, W1 W2, inhibitor Iw1 Iw2. Little known about metabolic physiological effects...
The cuticle plays important roles in plant development, growth and defense against biotic abiotic attacks. Crystallized epicuticular wax, the outermost layer of cuticle, is visible as white-bluish glaucousness. In crops like barley wheat, glaucousness trait adaption to dry hot cultivation conditions, hentriacontane-14,16-dione (β-diketone) its hydroxy derivatives are major unique components cuticular wax upper parts adult plants. But their biosynthetic pathway physiological role largely...
To Editor Yam (Dioscorea spp.) is a multi-species tuber crop providing food and income to millions of people worldwide, particularly in Africa (Price et al., 2016). The 'yam belt' West Africa, including Nigeria, Benin, Togo, Ghana, Côte d'Ivoire, accounts for 92% 72.6 million tons global yam production (FAOSTAT, 2018). Despite the economic importance, cultivation plagued by several biotic abiotic factors. genetic improvement via conventional breeding has not achieved substantial progress...
Atmospheric water harvesting (AWH) technology is widely regarded as a promising to solve the problem of fresh shortage. Hygroscopic salt-hydrogel composites have attracted extensive attention due their high hygroscopic salt-carrying capacity. However, complex preparation process, salting-out and low collection efficiency restrict development. In this study, we prepared calcium alginate (CA) [2-(methylpropoxy) ethyl dimethyl-(3-propyl sulfonic acid)ammonium hydroxide (PDMAPS)]...
1-(9-Anthracenylmethyl)-3-ethylimidazolium iodide was heated in CH2Cl2 solution with silver oxide to afford a stair polymer of N-heterocyclic carbene silver(I), which gave strong anthracene-type fluorescence. The moiety could be displaced from this by pyridine known similar shape but tighter framework; showed an emission band at 579 nm arising Ag−Ag interaction.
In the presence of NaH and KOBut, 1-(9-anthracenylmethyl)-3-octylimidazolium chloride (1a) or 1-(9-anthracenylmethyl)-3-ethylimidazolium iodide (1b) was treated with Ni(OAc)2, Pd(OAc)2, Pt(cod)Cl2 in CH3CN/THF solution to afford fluorescent complexes [1-(9-anthracenylmethyl)-3-alkylimidazol-2-ylidene]2M(CN)2 (2a, alkyl = C8H17, M Ni; 2b, C2H5, 3a, Pd; 3b, 4a, Pt; 4b, Pt). The metal(II) center has a square-planar geometry, pairs 1-(9-anthracenylmethyl)-3-alkylimidazol-2-ylidene CN- ligands...
Two N(n-Pr)PPh2 groups appended to the 9,10-anthracene positions through methylene spacers as a bidentate ligand coordinate with Cu+, Ag+, and Au+ ions efficiently afford endocyclic metal complexes metal-η6-arene bonding, rarely observed for group 11 ions. The three-center metal−NP metal−η6-arene bonding patterns in were confirmed using ab initio density functional calculations. close metal−anthracene centroid distances significantly affected absorption fluorescence properties of solution....
The reaction of 9-{[N-n-propyl-N-(diphenylphosphino)amino]methyl}anthracene (1) with Au(SMe2)Cl yields complex 2 an arm-opening configuration. latter is treated AgClO4 to form 4 and then respectively reacted acetonitrile, pyridine, triphenylphosphine sulfide afford novel gold(I) eta2-arene complexes 3a-c, which have arm-closing configurations feeble or weak fluorescence emissions. observation can be attributed charge transfer from the anthracene unit Au+ ion. When solution 3a in CH2Cl2 was...
The P,N,P-tridentate ligand 2,6-bis(diphenylphosphino)pyridine, L, was employed to generate a twelve-membered metallomacrocyclic host species cis-Pt(2)Me(4)(mu-L)(2) that encapsulates Tl(I) and Cu(I) guest ions. also used synthesize another two linear heterotrinuclear complexes, [Me(2)Pt(mu-L)(2)Ag(2)(MeCN)(2)](BF(4))(2).MeCN [(CO)(3)Fe(mu-L)(2)Ag(2)(Et(2)O)](ClO(4))(2), both containing metal-metal dative bond (Pt-->Ag Fe-->Ag, respectively) stabilized by the d(10)-d(10) argentophilic interaction.
