Two synthetic strategies have been developed for the synthesis of spaced sugars with lipophilic 1,4-phenylene core. A building block combining the usefulness of Weinreb amide functionality and modified Julia olefination reaction has been explored towards this objective. This building block offers complete flexibility in attaching any desired sugar derivative across phenylene spacer via C-C bond formation. The other strategy uses carbohydrate based building blocks for the synthesis of symmetrical as well as unsymmetrical 1,4-phenylene spaced sugars. This is the first report for the synthesis of 1,4-phenylene spaced sugars via C-C bond formation.

Nanocomposite based slow release atrazine effectively controlled Striga asiatica incidence, and enhanced sugarcane yield.

Sugarcane is a major industrial crop highly susceptible to parasitic weed (Striga spp.), causing a 38% reduction in cane yield due to a longer lag phase of 20-40 days, and wider spacing. Herbicides with a longer retention and slow-release nature could allow Striga seeds to germinate and be killed before attaching to the host.

Diabetes management demands precise monitoring of key biomarkers, particularly insulin (I) and glucose (G). Herein, we present a bioelectronic chip device that enables the simultaneous detection of I and G in biofluids within 2 min. This dual biosensor chip integrates aptamer-based insulin sensing with enzymatic glucose detection on a single platform, employing a four-electrode sensor chip.

Article Synopsis
- Leaves are crucial for photosynthesis and converting inorganic substances to organic matter, with leaf color mutants being key for studying these processes.
- A yellow-green leaf mutant named jym165 was created through EMS mutagenesis, showing reduced chlorophyll and carotenoid levels, leading to lower photosynthetic rates despite higher oil and protein content.
- The genetic analysis indicates that the yellow-green trait is controlled by a single recessive gene, and this mutant could enhance soybean yields under high-density planting while providing insights into soybean photosynthesis mechanisms.
DNA Replication across α-l-(3'-2')-Threofuranosyl Nucleotides Mediated by Human DNA Polymerase η.

α-l-(3'-2')-Threofuranosyl nucleic acid (TNA) pairs with itself, cross-pairs with DNA and RNA, and shows promise as a tool in synthetic genetics, diagnostics, and oligonucleotide therapeutics. We studied primer insertion and extension reactions catalyzed by human trans-lesion synthesis (TLS) DNA polymerase η (hPol η) opposite a TNA-modified template strand without and in combination with -alkyl thymine lesions. Across TNA-T (tT), hPol η inserted mostly dAMP and dGMP, dTMP and dCMP with lower efficiencies, followed by extension of the primer to a full-length product.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how people with obesity (OB) process taste information compared to normal-weight individuals (NW) by examining gustatory evoked potentials (GEP) in response to a sucrose solution before and after eating a standard lunch.
- Participants included 28 individuals with obesity and 22 normal-weight individuals, who underwent tests in two sessions: one after fasting and one after consuming a low-sugar lunch.
- Results showed that OB subjects had longer GEP latencies, indicating slower activation of the taste cortex, and their GEP responses did not change after eating, unlike NW participants, with correlations found between GEP latencies and certain hormone levels.
