[Method] P. persica （L.） Batsch varieties Chongyanghong and Yanhong were used as parents to construct F1 orthogonal group. A total of 138 FI individuals were selected as experimental materi- als for construction of color around the stone gene pool （B1） and non-color around the stone gene pool （B2） by using bulked segregant analysis （BSA） method, molec- ular markers linked to the flesh color around the stone of P. persica （L.） Batsch were selected with SSR molecular marker technology. [Result] After selection with 256 pairs of SSR primers, three pairs of molecular markers linked to the gene con- trolling flesh color around the stone of P. persica （L.） Batsch were selected （UDP96- 003, ch04g09 and UDP97-402）. In addition, genetic distances between the three molecular markers and the gene controlling flesh color around the stone of P. persi- ca （L.） Batsch were calculated, which were 16.7, 10.1 and 17.0 cM, respectively. [Conclusion] This study laid the foundation for further selection of co-dominant molecular markers with closer genetic distance.展开更多

[Method] Melanin was isolated from walnut husk through alkali extraction and acid precipitation, and the factors that may influ- ence the extraction efficiency： temperature, duration, NaOH concentration and solid- liquid ratio were set at different levels. [Result] The optimal conditions for the ex- traction of melanin from walhut husk were temperature of 80 ℃, extraction duration of 120 min, NaOH concentration of 70 mol/L, and solid-liquid ratio of 1：20. [Conclu- sion] The optimal conditions for the extraction of melanin from walnut husk deter- mined in the present study will provide references for the development and utiliza- tion of natural melanin.展开更多

In addition, a series of five 8-halojuglone derivatives were synthesized via a solvent-free Friedel-Crafts acylation reaction. One of the acylation reactions afforded an anthraquinone-type derivative as the minor product. The 8-nitrojuglone derivative displayed the most notable activity against S. aureus. However, all of the 8-halojuglone derivatives were found to be less active than juglone against the bacteria assayed.展开更多

In this study, we investigated the molecular mechanisms underlying anthocyanin accumulation by examining the expression of nine genes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway found in the peach mesocarp. Expression was measured at six developmental stages in fruit of two blood-flesh and one white-flesh peach cultivars, using quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction （qRT-PCR）. Results show that the expression of the chalcone synthase （CHS） gene was closely related to anthocyanin accumulation in both of the blood-flesh peaches. In the white-flesh peach, we found that the transcription level of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase （PAL） during fruit development was much lower than that in the blood-flesh peach, even though all other genes of the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway were highly expressed, suggesting that the PAL gene may be limiting in antho- cyanin production in the white-flesh peach. Moreover, the transcription levels of the CHS and UDP-glucose-flavonoid 3-O-glucosyltransferase （UFGT） genes were markedly up-regulated at three days after bag removal （DABR） in the blood-flesh peach, suggesting that CHS and UFGT are the key genes in the process of anthocyanin biosynthesis for both of the blood-flesh peaches. The present study will be of great help in improving understanding of the molecular mechanisms involved in anthocyanin accumulation in blood-flesh peaches.展开更多
