The complete chloroplast genome and phylogenetic analysis of a rare species (Schisandraceae).

Lin & Shui, 2011, belongs to the family Schisandraceae and was recently added to the List of National Key Protected Wild Plants in China. We report the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of using Illumina Nova-Seq 6000 platform. The results showed that the cp genome size of was 144,288 bp, which contained a small single-copy (SSC) region (17,862 bp), a large single-copy (LSC) region (93,332 bp), and a pair of inverted repeat (IR) regions (16,547 bp).

Characteristics of the Perianthic Endophytic Fungal Communities of the Rare Horticultural Plant and Their Changes under Artificial Cultivation.

Flower endophytic fungi play a major role in plant reproduction, stress resistance, and growth and development. However, little is known about how artificial cultivation affects the endophytic fungal community found in the tepals of rare horticultural plants. In this research, we used high-throughput sequencing technology combined with bioinformatics analysis to reveal the endophytic fungal community of tepals in and the effects of artificial cultivation on the community composition and function of these plants, using tepals of from wild habitat, cultivated campus habitat, and cultivated field habitat as research objects.

Comparitive Analysis of the Chloroplast Genomes of Three Plants.

The genus belongs to the family Magnoliaceae, and the species in this genus have important medicinal values. However, the investigation of the correlation between the evolution of the genus and its phylogeny has been severely hampered by the unknown range of species within the genus and the paucity of research on its chloroplast genome. Thus, we selected three species of : var (OO), var (OB), and (R).

BtsT/ BtsS is involved in glyoxylate transport in E. coli and its mutations facilitated glyoxylate utilization.

Glyoxylate is an important chemical and is also an intermediate involved in metabolic pathways of living microorganisms. However, it cannot be rapidly utilized by many microbes. We observed a very long lag phase (up to 120 h) when E.

A label-free visual platform for self-correcting logic gate construction and sensitive biosensing based on enzyme-mimetic coordination polymer nanoparticles.

In molecular logic gates, the occurrence of erroneous procedures is a frequently encountered and critical problem in data transmission, and thus it is highly desirable to develop novel logic systems with self-correction abilities. Herein, based on the horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-like activity of the novel metal coordination polymer nanoparticles formed between Cu and guanosine monophosphate (GMP), denoted as Cu-GMP CPNs, a label-free visual platform was constructed and successfully utilized for both self-correcting logic gate construction and sensitive biosensing. The HRP-mimicking ability of Cu-GMP CPNs was verified and utilized for the sensitive detection of both HO and glucose.
