The electronic structure of the molecules was calculated by using the quantum chemistry semiempirical method AM1. The research on the correlation between the biodegradability of the azo-bond and the molecular structure descriptors has led to the following results. (1) There is an obvious relationship between the degradation rate D and the difference Δq_π in π-charge density of the azo-bond. (2) The different substituents in the molecules result in a wave pattern of π-charge distribution and the increasing of the flowability of π-electron. A good flowability of the π-charge favors the reduction between electron contributing azo groups. (3) The effect of the substituents on the π-electron system depends on the electromerization of the substituents in combination with the conjugated systems.展开更多

The primary and secondary rachis-branches are normally initiated and each branch ends in a terminal spikelet, but all the lateral spikelets are absent and the terminal spikelet displays variegated structures in the mutant. An F2 population from the cross between the lax mutant and a japonica variety, W11, was constructed and analyzed. Using microsatellite and CAPS markers, the lax locus was mapped on the long arm of chromosome 1, co-segregated with a CAPS marker, LZ1, within an interval of 0.28 cM between a CAPS marker, HB2, and a microsatellite marker, MRG4389. RT-PCR analysis revealed that the expressions of the rice B-function MADS-box genes OsMADS2, OsMADS4, OsMADS16 and OsMADS3 were significantly reduced, whereas the expression of the rice A-function gene RAP1A was not altered.展开更多
