Resource availability should have consequences for life-history functions and trade-offs among them because it influences the amounts of resources allocated to different functions. Nutritional status during a key developmental window (sexual maturation) may also have an important impact on life-history functions and such trade-offs. However, less is known about whether and how they interact to influence the resource allocation of individuals.

Institute of Nanyang Geoherbs (Artemisia argyi), Henan Key Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine for Effective Substances and Quality Control, Nanyang Medical College Nanyang 473061, China.

Article Synopsis
  • - The MYB family of transcription factors, particularly the R2R3-MYB subfamily, plays a significant role in plant development and the production of secondary metabolites like flavonoids.
  • - A comprehensive study on Artemisia argyi identified 92 R2R3-MYB transcription factors and predicted their functions, revealing they are primarily hydrophilic proteins located in the nucleus, with some found in both the nucleus and cytoplasm.
  • - Expression analysis indicated that certain R2R3-MYB factors are predominantly active in leaves, and five key transcription factors were selected as candidates for their role in flavonoid synthesis and glandular trichome development, aiding future breeding efforts.

In this paper, triphenylamine served as the structural core and was bonded to aromatic groups having various substituents [-OH, -OMe, or -N(Et)] by a =N-N= chain and then connected with aromatic groups having various substituents [-OH, -OMe, or -N(Et)]. The geometric and electronic properties of these probes were examined. It was found that the presence of electron donors enhanced the selectivity and emission quantum yield (QY).
