The synthesis of naturally occurring D-erythro-(2R,3S,4E)-sphingosine from commercially available D-ribo-(2S,3S,4R)-phytosphingosine is described. The key step in the reaction sequence comprises TMSI/DBN promoted regio- and stereoselective oxirane opening of intermediate 2-phenyl-4-(S)-[(1S,2S)-1,2-epoxyhexadecyl]-1,3-oxazoline followed by the in situ trans-elimination of 2-phenyl-4-(S)-[(1S,2R)-1,2-dideoxy-2-iodo-1-trimethylsilyloxyhexadecyl]-1,3-oxazoline.

Background: Preserving plant genetic resources is essential for tackling global food security challenges. Effectively meeting future agricultural demands requires comprehensive and efficient assessments of genetic diversity in breeding programs and germplasm from gene banks. This research investigated the diversity of pheno-morphological traits, along with the fatty acid and tocopherol content and composition, in 135 double haploid lines of camelina.

In the face of climate change and the growing global population, there is an urgent need to accelerate the development of high-yielding crop varieties. To this end, vast amounts of genotype-to-phenotype data have been collected, and many machine learning (ML) models have been developed to predict phenotype from a given genotype. However, the requirement for high densities of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the labor-intensive collection of phenotypic data are hampering the use of these models to advance breeding.

Given global warming and the growing dairy population, heat stress in dairy herds is of increasing concern. During heat stress, dairy cows suffer from compromised productivity and animal welfare in terms of reduced feed intake and milk production, decreased reproductive performance, and generally increased risk of health problems. These effects and their interactions are complex and are usually quantified separately, and thereby a comprehensive understanding of the herd-level performance is missing.
