Di[12]aneN-Functionalized Green Fluorescent Protein Chromophore for GFP Luminescence Simulation and Efficient Gene Transfection and .

Although a plethora of gene carriers have been developed for potential gene therapy, imageable stimuli-responsive gene vectors with fast access to the nucleus, high biocompatibility, and transfection efficiency are still scarce. Herein, we report the design and synthesis of four dendrite-shaped cationic liposomes, /DOPE (R: -butyl, ; -octyl, ; -dodecyl, ; palmyl, ), prepared via esterification of 4-alkoxybenzylideneimidazolinone containing aliphatic chains of different lengths (HBI-R), the green fluorescent protein (GFP) chromophore, with a di[12]aneN unit. Liposomes were fabricated the self-assembly of , assisted with 1,2-dioleoyl--glycerol-3-phosphorylethanolamine (DOPE).

[Current advance on molecular genetic regulation of rice fertility].

Hybrid rice has contributed greatly to global food security. Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) and photo/ thermo sensitive genic male sterility (P/TGMS) are genetic bases for three-line and two-line hybrid rice production, respectively. In contrast, (sub-) specific hybrid sterility (HS) is a major barrier for utilization of hybrid vigor of distant hybrid rice.
