Screening and identification of genes associated with flower senescence in tree peony (<i>Paeonia x suffruticosa</i> Andrews) using suppression subtractive hybridization
<p>A short blossom period is a major obstacle for the tree peony industry. In order to preferentially isolate genes associated with flower senescence in the tree peony variety ‘Lu He Hong’, forward and reverse suppression subtractive hybridization cDNA libraries were constructed using senescent and blooming petals as testers, respectively. A total of 712 high-quality expressed sequence tags, representing 211 unigenes, were obtained, and 181 unigenes were annotated on the basis of sequence similarity with data in the National Center for Biotechnology Information’s non-redundant database. In addition, 168 unigenes were functionally annotated using Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes databases, and 44 unigenes were classified into 14 functional categories using the Clusters of Orthologous Groups. Most of the unigenes appear to be involved in cellular components, biological processes, and molecular functions, according to Gene Ontology analysis. Analysis of 23 chosen genes using quantitative reverse transcription PCR confirmed that their transcription levels were consistent with the results of the suppression subtractive hybridization libraries.</p
NMR Chemical Shifts of Trace Impurities: Industrially Preferred Solvents Used in Process and Green Chemistry
The <sup>1</sup>H and <sup>13</sup>C NMR chemical shifts of 48
industrially preferred solvents in six commonly used deuterated NMR
solvents (CDCl<sub>3</sub>, acetone-<i>d</i><sub>6</sub>, DMSO-<i>d</i><sub>6</sub>, acetonitrile-<i>d</i><sub>3</sub>, methanol-<i>d</i><sub>4</sub>, and D<sub>2</sub>O) are reported. This work supplements the compilation of
NMR data published by Gottlieb, Kotlyar, and Nudelman (J. Org. Chem. 1997, 62, 7512) by providing
spectral parameters for solvents that were not commonly utilized at
the time of their original report. Data are specifically included
for solvents, such as 2-Me-THF, <i>n</i>-heptane, and <i>iso</i>-propyl acetate, which are being used more frequently
as the chemical industry aims to adopt greener, safer, and more sustainable
solvents. These spectral tables simplify the identification of these
solvents as impurities in NMR spectra following their use in synthesis
and workup protocols
