Design of Photosensitive Cobalt Complex Intermediates and Their Application in the Green Syntheses of Molecules Containing the Quinazolin-4(3)-imine Scaffold.

Cobalt/photoredox cooperative catalysis is a well-explored technology for visible-light photoredox catalysis. Recently, the photosensitivity of Co(II) complexes in homogeneous catalysis has aroused the interest of scientists. In this study, photosensitive Co(II) complex intermediates were designed to develop new synthetic methods.

Diversity and dynamics of microbial communities in brown planthopper at different developmental stages revealed by high-throughput amplicon sequencing.

The microbiome associated with brown planthopper (BPH) plays an important role in mediating host health and fitness. Characterization of the microbial community and its structure is prerequisite for understanding the intricate symbiotic relationships between microbes and host insect. Here, we investigated the bacterial and fungal communities of BPH at different developmental stages using high-throughput amplicon sequencing.

DNA barcoding evaluation and implications for phylogenetic relationships in ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae).

Ladybird beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), with broad morphological diversity, wide geographic distribution and substantial agricultural significance, are a challenging group for taxonomists and phylogenetics. As a promising tool to identify and discover new species, DNA barcoding might offer significant potential for identification, taxonomy and phylogeny of ladybird beetles. In the present study, a total of 1364 COI (cytochrome C oxidase subunit I) sequences representing 128 species from 52 genera of ladybird beetles were screened for barcoding evaluation and phylogenetic analysis.
