Profiling of indole metabolic pathway in thermo-sensitive Bainong male sterile line in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.).

Bainong male sterile (BNS) wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a thermo-sensitive genic male sterile line with excellent sterility and self-restoration. We focused on transcriptional profiles of differentially expressed probes between BNS sterile and fertile anthers. Anthers, rachis and spikes from sterile line and fertile line were collected. Extracted RNA was assayed using wheat expression microarray and Gene Ontology was analyzed using Cytoscape with ClueGO. An indole (indole-3-acetic acid: IAA) metabolism pathway sub-network was almost formed in all differentially expressed profiles between sterile and fertile samples. IAA sub-network contained four nodes of indole and alkaloid metabolism connecting main network via indole compounds. This sub-network was absent in rachis and intact in transformed fertile anthers, which was the main differently expressed metabolism pathway in F1 anthers with restorer genes. Alkaloid metabolism was absent in sterile anthers. Abnormal metabolism of IAA may be involved in BNS sterility. BNS transformation may be regulated by the production of IAA and alkaloid metabolism pathway, which favor the safe utilization of the sterile line in hybrid wheat production.

[The Study on Infrared Spectra of 7-Hydroxycoumarin by Density Functional Theory].

Infrared spectroscopy is an important source of information for the identification of the compounds structure and it is great significant for biological activity research of natural and organic drug molecules. With the theoretical calculation method is more reasonable and calculation accuracy continues to improve, Theoretical calculate advantage is more obvious in the infrared spectrum simulation and vibration modes attributable identified. And it has important reference value for experimental study of infrared spectral analysis. Using density functional theory, geometry optimizations and frequencies calculation of 7-Hydroxycoumarin were performed at the level of B3LYP/6-311G(d, p), the stable structure and all vibration modes of 7-Hydroxycoumarin were attained. The results show that the infrared absorption peak of 7-hydroxycoumarin is mainly distributed in the several regions in wave number of 3 700-3 500, 3 150-3 000, 1 750-1 400, 1 400-1 000, 1 000-50 cm(-1). In addition to the vibration in a wave number range of 3 700-3 500, 3 150-3 000 cm(-1) is relatively independent, and were attributed to OH stretching vibration and benzene ring CH stretching vibration, the other several vibration regions are more complex, the different degree of spectral peaks is composed of multiple vibration modes. Finally, based on the theoretical analysis of the vibration mode, the vibration modes of 7-Hydroxycoumarin molecule were assigned, and in order to discuss the reliability of theoretical calculation method, the correlation diagram of the main absorption peak of 7-hydroxyl group was drawn from the theoretical value of X axis and the experimental value of Y axis, the correlation between experimental IR data and calculated IR data of 7-Hydroxycoumarin was analyzed through the linear regression method. Results show that they have good correlation, correlation coefficient values "r" equals 0.998 5, and the theory calculation of 7-Hydroxycoumarin IR by density functional theory at the base set level is reliable.

[Theoretical study on fluorescence spectra of four kinds of p-substituted curcumin analogues].

Four kinds of p-substituted curcumin analogues were optimized at B3LYP/6-31G (d, p) level. On this basis, the excited states geometry structure was optimized by the CIS method, and finally the fluorescence emission spectra were calculated through the TD-DFT method. The results showed that: the four compounds, a large conjugated system, is preferably coplanar structure. Because of introducing hydroxyl and halogen atom on the benzene ring, the molecular pi-electron conjugation is relatively larger, emission wavelength is relatively longer, and fluorescence spectra show different degrees of red shift. As the electron donating group is hydroxy, the fluorescence phenomenon is more obviously red shifted.

[Theoretical study on nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of the four kinds of curcumin analogues].

Abstract The structure of four kinds of curcumin analogues was optimized at the level of B3LYP/6-31G(d, p), under which the stability was verified by means of vibration analysis. Moreover, NMR spectra of urcumin analogues compounds were studied at the level of B3LYP/6-311G(d,p) by GIAO method. The results show that the structure of four kinds of compounds, a larger conjugated system, has good planarity. Because of introducing hydroxyl and methoxy, the compound-B/C/D-C3, C4 and compoud-A and compound-D-Cs have greater 8 value. delta value of compound-A-C4. C4 is relatively smaller, and delta value of C3 is relatively larger. In the conjugated carbonyl compounds, compared with the acetaldehyde delta value (201 ppm), carbonyl C13 delta value (183 ppm) decreases relatively, C(11, 15) (alpha-carbon) delta value(122 ppm) decreases relatively, and C(9, 17) (beta-carbon) delta value(145 ppm) increases relatively. Finally, the correlation between experimental delta value and theoretical delta value of the 1H NMR was analyzed through the linear regression method. Results show that they have good correlation, and the experimental values coincide with the theoretical values.
