Novel Fluorescent Probe toward Fe Based on Rhodamine 6G Derivatives and Its Bioimaging in Adult Mice, , and Plant Tissues.

A new fluorescent probe based on the rhodamine 6G platforms has been designed, synthesized, and characterized, which could recognize Fe effectively in HEPES buffer (10 mM, pH = 7.4)/CHCN (2:3, v/v). And the distinct color change and the rapid emergence of fluorescence emission at 550 nm achieved "naked eye" detection of Fe.

Long read sequencing of Toona sinensis (A. Juss) Roem: A chromosome-level reference genome for the family Meliaceae.

Chinese mahogany (Toona sinensis) is a woody plant that is widely cultivated in China and Malaysia. Toona sinensis is important economically, including as a nutritious food source, as material for traditional Chinese medicine and as a high-quality hardwood. However, the absence of a reference genome has hindered in-depth molecular and evolutionary studies of this plant.
