and Enhance Seed Storability by Modulating Antioxidant Enzymes and Abscisic Acid in Rice.

Seed deterioration during storage poses a significant challenge to rice production, leading to a drastic decline in both edible quality and viability, thereby impacting overall crop yield. This study aimed to address this issue by further investigating candidate genes associated with two previously identified QTLs for seed storability through genome association analysis. Among the screened genes, two () genes, () and , were selected for further study.

Insights into the Regulation of Rice Seed Storability by Seed Tissue-Specific Transcriptomic and Metabolic Profiling.

Non-dormant seeds are continuously aging and deteriorating during storage, leading to declining seed vigor, which is a challenge for the rice seed industry. Improving the storability of seeds is of great significance to ensure the quality of rice and national food security. Through a set of chromosome segment substitution lines population constructed using rice NIP as donor parent and rice ZS97 as recurrent parent, we performed seed storability QTL analysis and selected four non-storable NILs to further investigate the storability regulatory mechanisms underlying it.

6-Meth-oxy-2-[(E)-phenyl-imino-meth-yl]phenol.

The title compound, C(14)H(13)NO(2), was obtained by the condensation reaction of o-vanillin and aniline in ethanol. The mol-ecule adopts the phenol-imine tautomeric form and an E conformation with respect to the azomethine C=N bond. The dihedral angle between the aromatic rings is 30.

Bis[2-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)acetato-κO]bis-(1,10-phenanthroline-κN,N')cadmium penta-hydrate.

In the title compound, [Cd(C(8)H(7)O(3))(2)(C(12)H(8)N(2))(2)]·5H(2)O, the Cd(II) ion is six-coordinated by two carboxylate O atoms of monodentate 2-(4-hy-droxy-phen-yl)acetate ligands and by four N atoms from two chelating 1,10-phenantroline ligands in a distorted trigonal-prismatic geometry. O-H⋯O hydrogen bonds between water mol-ecules and the complex mol-ecules result in the formation of a three-dimensional network. Four water mol-ecules act as single acceptors and double donors while the fifth water mol-ecule is involved as a single acceptor and single donor in an O-H⋯O inter-action and as a donor in an O-H⋯π inter-action.

Synthesis, characterization, crystal structure and antibacterial activities of transition metal(II) complexes of the schiff base 2-[(4-methylphenylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol.

Five transition metal(II) complexes, [ML(2)Cl(2)] 1 approximately 5, were synthesized from the reaction of MCl(2) x nH(2)O (M = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Cd) and the Schiff base ligand 2-[(4-methylphenylimino)methyl]-6-methoxyphenol (C(15)H(15)NO(2), L), obtained by condensation of o-vanillin (2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzaldehyde) with p-toluidine. They were characterized by elemental analysis, molar conductance, FT-IR spectra, thermal analysis. The structure of complex 1 was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.
