Variations in Grain Traits among Local Rice Varieties Collected More Than Half-Century Ago in Indochinese Countries.

ABSTRACT: More than half-century ago, local rice varieties were collected from Indochinese countries (Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam). Of these, 162 local varieties were examined for 7 grain-size traits: seed length/width/thickness, brown rice length/width/thickness, and 100-seed weight. Since these traits varied considerably, a survey of functional mutations was performed in the genes related to these traits. In total, 19 markers (12 InDel and 7 dCAPS markers) were used to investigate the mutations at 14 grain-size loci of GW2, GS2, qLGY3, GS3, GL3.1, TGW3, GS5, GW5, GS6, TGW6, GW6a, GLW7, GL7, and GW8. Significant allele effects were observed with six markers detecting base substitution mutations at GW2 and GS3 and insertion/deletion mutations at GS5, GW5, and GW6a, suggesting that these mutations might have affected the grain trait and caused variation among local varieties in the Indochinese countries. In addition to grain size, the hull color, grain color, and glutinosity were also examined using a survey of loss-of-function mutations at major responsible loci. Most phenotypes were reflected based on functional mutations at these loci. Since the local varieties have wide genetic variation, they are important genetic resources for future rice breeding.

Project description:Recent development in the synthesis and characterization of noble-gas compounds is reviewed, i.e., noble-gas chemistry reported in the last five years with emphasis on the publications issued after 2017. XeF2 is commercially available and has a wider practical application both in the laboratory use and in the industry. As a ligand it can coordinate to metal centers resulting in [M(XeF2)x]n+ salts. With strong Lewis acids, XeF2 acts as a fluoride ion donor forming [XeF]+ or [Xe2F3]+ salts. Latest examples are [Xe2F3][RuF6]·XeF2, [Xe2F3][RuF6] and [Xe2F3][IrF6]. Adducts NgF2·CrOF4 and NgF2·2CrOF4 (Ng = Xe, Kr) were synthesized and structurally characterized at low temperatures. The geometry of XeF6 was studied in solid argon and neon matrices. Xenon hexafluoride is a well-known fluoride ion donor forming various [XeF5]+ and [Xe2F11]+ salts. A large number of crystal structures of previously known or new [XeF5]+ and [Xe2F11]+ salts were reported, i.e., [Xe2F11][SbF6], [XeF5][SbF6], [XeF5][Sb2F11], [XeF5][BF4], [XeF5][TiF5], [XeF5]5[Ti10F45], [XeF5][Ti3F13], [XeF5]2[MnF6], [XeF5][MnF5], [XeF5]4[Mn8F36], [Xe2F11]2[SnF6], [Xe2F11]2[PbF6], [XeF5]4[Sn5F24], [XeF5][Xe2F11][CrVOF5]·2CrVIOF4, [XeF5]2[CrIVF6]·2CrVIOF4, [Xe2F11]2[CrIVF6], [XeF5]2[CrV2O2F8], [XeF5]2[CrV2O2F8]·2HF, [XeF5]2[CrV2O2F8]·2XeOF4, A[XeF5][SbF6]2 (A = Rb, Cs), Cs[XeF5][BixSb1-xF6]2 (x = ~0.37-0.39), NO2XeF5(SbF6)2, XeF5M(SbF6)3 (M = Ni, Mg, Zn, Co, Cu, Mn and Pd) and (XeF5)3[Hg(HF)]2(SbF6)7. Despite its extreme sensitivity, many new XeO3 adducts were synthesized, i.e., the 15-crown adduct of XeO3, adducts of XeO3 with triphenylphosphine oxide, dimethylsulfoxide and pyridine-N-oxide, and adducts between XeO3 and N-bases (pyridine and 4-dimethylaminopyridine). [Hg(KrF2)8][AsF6]2·2HF is a new example of a compound in which KrF2 serves as a ligand. Numerous new charged species of noble gases were reported (ArCH2+, ArOH+, [ArB3O4]+, [ArB3O5]+, [ArB4O6]+, [ArB5O7]+, [B12(CN)11Ne]-). Molecular ion HeH+ was finally detected in interstellar space. The discoveries of Na2He and ArNi at high pressure were reported. Bonding motifs in noble-gas compounds are briefly commented on in the last paragraph of this review.

Project description:In this study, 28 "historical" clinical freeze-dried nontuberculous mycobacterial isolates collected from 1948 to 1957, were analyzed by investigating their viability and performing whole genome sequencing (WGS) on DNA extracted (i) directly from freeze-dried cells versus (ii) after culturing, to determine cell properties and DNA quality after centuries of freeze-dried storage. The isolated DNA was sequenced on the Illumina MiSeq platform and data quality evaluated analyzing the per-base quality scores of paired-end sequencing reads as well as the overall contiguity of resulting de novo assemblies. After 72 years in storage, all freeze-dried isolates were viable, and showed no signs of cell damage and limited signs of contamination when reculturing. They were recultured without problems and identified through WGS with only four of 13 parameters showing statistical significance based on sequence data obtained directly from the freeze-dried cells versus after reculturing, indicating no DNA degradation. Thus, mycobacteria can be whole genome sequenced successfully directly from freeze-dried material without prior recultivation, saving laboratory time and resources, and emphasizing the value of freeze-drying for long-term storage. Our study lays the groundwork for further genomic investigations of freeze-dried bacterial isolates, and the approximately 4,000 historical isolates in our collection will provide a unique opportunity to investigate mycobacterial DNA from a variety of NTM species unexposed to antimicrobials, some maybe still undescribed species. IMPORTANCE The genus Mycobacterium was described more than a century ago and new species are continuously identified and described. There is an ongoing discussion about an increase in the incidence of disease caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). How the different bacteria looked before exposure to antibiotics can only be investigated by looking at strains from before the antibiotic era. Strains from that era will be stored in different ways, for example by freeze-drying. The question is how to investigate these strains, and if they are still viable, whether they need to be cultured, and if that changes the DNA. Here, we test all these parameters on freeze-dried strains and show that NGS can be applied directly without culturing.
