With the development of transgenic crops, regulations to label the genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and their derived products have been issued in many countries. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) methods are thought to be reliable and useful techniques for qualitative and quantitative detection of GMOs. These methods are generally needed to amplify the transgene and compare the amplified results with that of a corresponding reference gene to get the reliable results. Specific primers were developed for the rapeseed (Brassica napus), high-mobility-group protein I/Y(HMG-I/Y) single-copy gene and PCR cycling conditions suitable for the use of this sequence as an endogenous reference gene in both qualitative and quantitative PCR assays. Both methods were assayed with 15 different rapeseed varieties, and identical amplified products were obtained with all of them. No amplification was observed when templates were the DNA samples from the other species of Brassica genus or other species, such as broccoli, stem mustard, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, cabbage, sprouts, Arabidopsis thaliana, carrot, tobacco, soybean, mung bean, tomato, pepper, eggplant, plum, wheat, maize, barley, rice, lupine, and sunflower. This system was specific for rapeseed. Limits of detection and quantitation in qualitative and quantitative PCR systems were about 13 pg DNA (about 10 haploid genomes) and about 1.3 pg DNA (about 1 haploid genome), respectively. To further test the feasibility of this HMG-I/Y gene as an endogenous reference gene, samples containing transgenic rapeseed GT73 with the inserted glyphosate oxidoreductase (GOX) gene were quantitated. These demonstrated that the endogenous PCR detection systems were applicable to the qualitative and quantitative detection of transgenic rapeseed. 相似文献
Quantum dots (QDs) were prepared in an organic system through a simple and low-cost wet chemistry method. Polymer beads with
a diameter of 60–70 nm and specific functional groups were synthesized by a particular seeded emulsion polymerization technique.
QDs were embedded in the polymer beads with the specific functional groups through dissolving and swelling method, which provided
the condition for the conjunction of biomolecules and QDs as fluorescent probes. The prepared composites were characterized
with UV-Vis, PL, TEM, FTIR, CLSM and conductance titration etc. The results show that QDs are successfully embedded in polymer
beads, which breaks the limitation that the conjunction of biomolecules and QDs can be achieved only for those synthesized
in aqueous system.

Highly dispersed α-Fe_2O_3/NaY,NiO/NaY,and CuO/NaY catalyst systems were pre-pared by impregnation method.Dispersion thresholds of the transition metal oxides on NaY" zeolitewere determined by XRD phase analysis.The dispersion capacities of the transition metal oxides on NaYzeolite are much lower than that estimated on the basis of a closed packed monolayer in the micropores.The catalytic activity and selectivity of the highly dispersed oxide catalyst systems for ethylben-zene and cyclohexane dehydrogenation reactions were reported. 相似文献
By using an asymmetric ligand with triazole and imidazole groups, three Keggin-based complexes were obtained, [Cu(HMET)4(H2O)2](PMo12O40)2·2H2O (1), [Cu3(HMET)4Cl2(H2O)2(XM12O40)2]·4H2O (X?=?Si, M?=?W 2, X?=?Ge, M?=?Mo 3) (MET?=?4-(2-imidazol-1-yl-ethyl)-4H-[1,3,4]triazole). Complex 1 contains discrete Keggin anions and mono-nuclear [Cu(MET)4(H2O)2]2+ clusters. Complexes 2 and 3 are isostructural with tri-nuclear Cu clusters linked by Keggin anions to construct a 1D chain. The 1- to 3-CPEs show electrocatalytic properties and can also act as nitrite amperometric sensors. Complexes 1–3 exhibit photocatalytic activities for degradation of MB. Complexes 1–?3 own fluorescence sensing properties for detecting Hg2+ ions.

Selective synthesis of uniform single crystalline silver molybdate/tungstate nanorods/nanowires in large scale can be easily realized by a facile hydrothermal recrystallization technique. The synthesis is strongly dependent on the pH conditions, temperature, and reaction time. The phase transformation was examined in details. Pure Ag(2)MoO(4) and Ag(6)Mo(10)O(33) can be easily obtained under neutral condition and pH 2, respectively, whereas other mixed phases of Mo(17)O(47), Ag(2)Mo(2)O(7,) Ag(6)Mo(10)O(33) were observed under different pH conditions. Ag(6)Mo(10)O(33) nanowires with uniform diameter 50-60 nm and length up to several hundred micrometers were synthesized in large scale for the first time at 140 degrees C. The melting point of Ag(6)Mo(10)O(33) nanowires were found to be about 238 degrees C. Similarly, Ag(2)WO(4), and Ag(2)W(2)O(7) nanorods/nanowires can be selectively synthesized by controlling pH value. The results demonstrated that this route could be a potential mild way to selectively synthesize various molybdate nanowires with various phases in large scale. 相似文献
The half-life of126Sn has never been measured accurately. The value quoted in the literature is approximately 105y, which was measured in 1958. In the present work we measured accruately the half life of126Sn to be (2.5±0.2)×105y using a radiochemical method. 相似文献
We report a facile synthesis of bifunctional phospholipid conjugates by acylation of N-protected lyso-phosphatidylethanolamine with 12-acryloxy-1-dodecanoic acid and followed with deprotection and conjugation with biotin, FITC, Texas Red, or EMC groups. The lipid conjugates can be used to generate a multifunctional substrate-supported phospholipid membrane via bioconjugation reaction to biotin or covalent attachment to EMC at their hydrophilic terminus. In addition, conjugation to fluorophores, FITC or Texas Red, provides a convenient mechanism to monitor lipid membrane formation and stability. Significantly, in situ photopolymerization of the acrylate group at the end of one of two hydrophobic alkyl chains stabilizes the phospholipid membrane. 相似文献
