Tetra-armed cyclen (1) bearing two 4-(4'-pyridyl)benzyl and two 3,5-difluorobenzyl groups and its Ag complexes were prepared and structurally characterized. The complexes formed between 1 and Ag undergoes a reversible structural transformation between a 2:2 dimeric complex and a 3:5 pentacyclic trefoil complex with changes in the Ag /1 molar ratio. It was also revealed that the 3:5 trefoil complex could encapsulate benzene and [D ]benzene selectively in solid-state. The benzene-included structures are stabilized by C-H⋅⋅⋅F-C interactions between the benzene molecule and the ligand molecule.

Using -rhizobia- interaction networks, we address first the soil invasion success of , and second, we report either -rhizobia partnership should form an isolated module within the symbiosis interaction network. Different indexes were used to determine model invasion success and the network topology. Our results indicated that invasion decreased soil microbial biomass, basal respiration, and enzymatic activities.

Golden camellia species are endangered species with great ecological significance and economic value in the section Chrysantha of the genus Camellia of the family Theaceae. Literature shows that more than 50 species of golden camellia have been found all over the world, but the exact number remains undetermined due to the complex phylogenetic background, the non-uniform classification criteria, and the presence of various synonyms and homonyms; and phylogenetic relationships among golden camellia species at the gene level are yet to be disclosed. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the divergence time and phylogenetic relationships between all golden camellia species at the gene level to improve their classification system and achieve accurate identification of them.

Background: Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is a significant aquatic ornamental genus widely utilized in horticulture for its decorative, culinary, medicinal, and other practical uses. It presents a variety of flower shapes, including few-petalled, semi-double-petalled, double-petalled and thousand-petalled flowers, making it an ideal candidate for studying the flower development of aquatic plants. However, the molecular mechanism of floral development in lotus remains elusive.
