Comparative transcriptomics reveals the selection patterns of domesticated ramie.

Although domestication has dramatically altered the phenotype, physiology, and life history of ramie () plants, few studies have investigated the effects of domestication on the structure and expression pattern of genes in this fiber crop. To investigate the selective pattern and genetic relationships among a cultivated variety of ramie (BNZ: , ZZ1) and four wild species, BNT (.  var.

Draft genome sequence of ramie, Boehmeria nivea (L.) Gaudich.

Ramie, Boehmeria nivea (L.) Gaudich, family Urticaceae, is a plant native to eastern Asia, and one of the world's oldest fibre crops. It is also used as animal feed and for the phytoremediation of heavy metal-contaminated farmlands.

Ethyl 2,4-dimethyl-pyrido[1,2-a]benz-imidazole-3-carboxyl-ate.

The title compound, C(16)H(16)N(2)O(2), was synthesized using a novel tandem annulation reaction between 1-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethanone and ethyl (E)-4-bromo-but-2-enoate under mild conditions. The dihedral angles formed by the mean plane of the five-membered imidazole ring with the dihydro-pyridin and benzene rings are 1.54 (9) and 1.

4-Acetyl-1H-pyrrole-2-carbaldehyde.

The title compound, C(7)H(7)NO(2), was synthesized via a one-pot Vilsmeier-Haack and subsequent Friedel-Crafts reaction. The pyrazole ring makes dihedral angles of 4.50 (9) and 2.
