A system for transformation and regeneration of Lycium barbarum L. , an important Chinese medical plant, has been established. Young stem segments from Lycium barbarum L. were infected with Agrobacterium tumefaciens C58cl(pGV3850: :ineo1130), and the transformed calli selected from the callus induction medium containing 50 fig/ml kanamycin could regenerate buds on differentiation medium containing 25 μg/ml kanamycin. 30% of the regenerated buds were normal in morphology. The normal buds could develop into whole plantlets after they were transferred to the rooting medium to induce roots. Nopa-line detection, NPT-Ⅱ enzyme activity assay and Southern blotting hybridization indicated that the foreign genes had been integrated into the genome of Lycium barbarum L. and expressed in the plant. In the processes of experiments, it was found that (i) after the pre-processes, the explants which formed callus quickly were easy to transform ; (Ⅱ) the rate of normal regenerated plants from transgenic calli was hig 相似文献
Semi-flexible aromatic polycarboxylic acids are gaining impetus in crystal engineering of functional coordination polymers. This work opens up the use of a triphenyl-tricarboxylic acid, 3,5-(4'-carboxylphenyl) benozoic acid (H3cba), as a versatile and still unexplored linker for the synthesis of four new Mn(II), Ni(II), Zn(II), and Cd(II) coordination polymers, formulated as [Mn(μ3-Hcba)(bpy)]n?nH2O (1), [Ni(μ-Hcba)(py)(H2O)]n (2), [Zn(μ-Hcba)(phen)(H2O)]n?nH2O (3), and [Cd(μ3-Hcba)(bpy)]n?nH2O (4). These compounds were prepared via a facile hydrothermal procedure using metal(II) chlorides, H3cba, and supporting N-donor ligands (2,2?-pyridine, bpy; pyridine, py; 1,10-phenanthroline, phen) acting as crystallization mediators. Compounds 1–4 were fully characterized and their X-ray crystal structures were established, disclosing the metal–organic architectures that range from 1D double chains (1, 4) to 1D chains (2, 3). Thermal and catalytic properties of 1–4 were also investigated. In particular, catalytic potential of the obtained coordination polymers in the Knoevenagel condensation of benzaldehydes with propanedinitrile was evaluated, disclosing an excellent performance of several heterogeneous catalysts with up to 100% product yield.
