Synthesis, crystal structure and potential antimicrobial activities of di (4-sulfamoyl-phenyl-ammonium) sulphate.

A new organic-inorganic hybrid SO4[C6H9N2O2S]2, has been synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. This compound crystallizes in the orthorhombic system, spaces group Pbcn. In the title compound, the packing is stabilized by intermolecular N-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and π-π stacking interactions between the phenyl rings, linking the molecules into three-dimensional network.

Overexpression of RoDELLA impacts the height, branching, and flowering behaviour of Pelargonium × domesticum transgenic plants.

KEY MESSAGE : We reported the cloning of a rose DELLA gene. We obtained transgenic Pelargonium lines overexpressing this gene which presented several phenotypes in plant growth, root growth, flowering time and number of inflorescences. Control of development is an important issue for production of ornamental plant.
