Published: November 1996

The 459-bp HindIII (pBN-4) and the 1732-bp Eco RI (pBNE8) fragments from the Brassica nigra genome were cloned and shown to be members of a dispersed repeat family. Of the three major diploid Brassica species, the repeat pBN-4 was found to be highly specific for the B. nigra genome. The family also hybridized to Sinapis arvensis showing that B. nigra had a closer relationship with the S. arvensis genome than with B. oleracea or B. campestris. The clone pBNE8 showed homology to a number of tRNA species indicating that this family of repeats may have originated from a tRNA sequence. The species-specific 459-bp repeat pBN-4 was localized on the B. nigra chromosomes using monosomic addition lines. In addition to the localization of pBN-4, the chromosomal distribution of two other species-specific repeats, pBN34 and pBNBH35 (reported earlier), was studied. The dispersed repeats pBN-4 and pBNBH35 were found to be present on all of the chromosomes, whereas the tandem repeat pBN34 was localized on two chromosomes.

Self-assembled bottlebrush block copolymers (BBCPs) offer a vibrant, eco-friendly alternative to traditional toxic pigments and dyes, providing vivid structural colors with significantly reduced environmental impact. Scaling up the synthesis of these polymers for practical applications has been challenging with conventional batch methods, which suffer from slow mass and heat transfer, inadequate mixing, and issues with reproducibility. Precise control over molecular weight and dispersity remains a significant challenge for achieving finely tuned color appearances.
