| 1 | Treatment technologies for aqueous perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoate (PFOA)显示文摘Fluorochemicals(FCs)are oxidatively recalcitrant,environmentally persistent,and resistant to most conventional treatment technologies.FCs have unique physiochemical properties derived from fluorine which is the most electronegative element.Perfluorooctanesulfonate(PFOS),and perfluorooctanoate(PFOA)have been detected globally in the hydrosphere,atmosphere and biosphere.Reducing treatment technologies such as reverses osmosis,nano-filtration and activated carbon can remove FCs from water.However,incineration of the concentrated waste is required for complete FC destruction.Recently,a number of alternative technologies for FC decomposition have been reported.The FC degradation technologies span a wide range of chemical processes including direct photolysis,photocatalytic oxidation,photochemical oxidation,photochemical reduction,thermally-induced reduction,and sonochemical pyrolysis.This paper reviews these FC degradation technologies in terms of kinetics,mechanism,energetic cost,and applicability.The optimal PFOS/PFOA treatment method is strongly dependent upon the FC concentration,background organic and metal concentration,and available degradation time. | Chad D.VECITIS Hyunwoong PARK Jie CHENG Brian T.MADER Michael R.HOFFMANN | 2009 | Frontiers of Environmental Science & Engineering2009,3,2: | 26 |
| 2 | The Deep-Time Digital Earth program:data-driven discovery in geosciences显示文摘Current barriers hindering data-driven discoveries in deep-time Earth(DE)include:substantial volumes of DE data are not digitized;many DE databases do not adhere to FAIR(findable,accessible,interoperable and reusable)principles;we lack a systematic knowledge graph for DE;existing DE databases are geographically heterogeneous;a significant fraction of DE data is not in open-access formats;tailored tools are needed.These challenges motivate the Deep-Time Digital Earth(DDE)program initiated by the International Union of Geological Sciences and developed in cooperation with national geological surveys,professional associations,academic institutions and scientists around the world.DDE’s mission is to build on previous research to develop a systematic DE knowledge graph,a FAIR data infrastructure that links existing databases and makes dark data visible,and tailored tools for DE data,which are universally accessible.DDE aims to harmonize DE data,share global geoscience knowledge and facilitate data-driven discovery in the understanding of Earth’s evolution. | Chengshan Wang Robert MHazen Qiuming Cheng Michael HStephenson Chenghu Zhou Peter Fox Shu-zhong Shen Roland Oberhansli Zengqian Hou Xiaogang Ma Zhiqiang Feng Junxuan Fan Chao Ma Xiumian Hu Bin Luo Juanle Wang Craig M.Schiffries | 2021 | National Science Review2021,8,9: | 14 |
| 3 | Effects of quaternary ammonium chain length on the antibacterial and remineralizing effects of a calcium phosphate nanocomposite显示文摘Composites containing nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate(NACP)remineralize tooth lesions and inhibit caries.A recent study synthesized quaternary ammonium methacrylates(QAMs)with chain lengths(CLs)of 3–18 and determined their effects on a bonding agent.This study aimed to incorporate these QAMs into NACP nanocomposites for the first time to simultaneously endow the material with antibacterial and remineralizing capabilities and to investigate the effects of the CL on the mechanical and biofilm properties.Five QAMs were synthesized:DMAPM(CL3),DMAHM(CL6),DMADDM(CL12),DMAHDM(CL16),and DMAODM(CL18).Each QAM was incorporated into a composite containing 20%NACP and 50%glass fillers.A dental plaque microcosm biofilm model was used to evaluate the antibacterial activity.The flexural strength and elastic modulus of nanocomposites with QAMs matched those of a commercial control composite(n 5 6;P.0.1).Increasing the CL from 3 to 16 greatly enhanced the antibacterial activity of the NACP nanocomposite(P,0.05);further increasing the CL to 18 decreased the antibacterial potency.The NACP nanocomposite with a CL of 16 exhibited biofilm metabolic activity and acid production that were 10-fold lesser than those of the control composite.The NACP nanocomposite with a CL of 16 produced 2-log decreases in the colony-forming units(CFU)of total microorganisms,total streptococci,and mutans streptococci.In conclusion,QAMs with CLs of 3–18 were synthesized and incorporated into an NACP nanocomposite for the first time to simultaneously endow the material with antibacterial and remineralization capabilities.Increasing the CL reduced the metabolic activity and acid production of biofilms and caused a 2-log decrease in CFU without compromising the mechanical properties.Nanocomposites exhibiting strong anti-biofilm activity,remineralization effects,and mechanical properties are promising materials for tooth restorations that inhibit caries. | Ke Zhang Lei Cheng Michael D Weir Yu-Xing Bai Hockin HK Xu | 2016 | International Journal of Oral Science2016,8,1: | 13 |
| 4 | Reconfigurable systems for multifunctional electronics显示文摘Reconfigurable systems complement the existing efforts of miniaturizing integrated circuits to provide a new direction for the development of future electronics.Such systems can integrate low dimensional materials and metamaterials to enable functional transformation from the deformation to changes in multiple physical properties,including mechanical,electric,optical,and thermal.Capable of overcoming the mismatch in geometries and forms between rigid electronics and soft tissues,bio-integrated electronics enabled by reconfigurable systems can provide continuous monitoring of physiological signals.The new opportunities also extend beyond to human-computer interfaces,diagnostic/therapeutic platforms,and soft robotics.In the development of these systems,biomimicry has been a long lasting inspiration for the novel yet simple designs and technological innovations.As interdisciplinary research becomes evident in such development,collaboration across scientists and physicians from diverse backgrounds would be highly encouraged to tackle grand challenges in this field. | Jia Zhu Michael Dexheimer Huanyu Cheng | 2017 | npj Flexible Electronics2017,1,1: | 8 |
| 5 | One-year water-ageing of calcium phosphate composite containing nano-silver and quaternary ammonium to inhibit biofilms显示文摘Dental composites are commonly used restorative materials; however, secondary caries due to bio?lm acids remains a major problem. The objectives of this study were(1) to develop a composite containing quaternary ammonium dimethacrylate(QADM),nanoparticles of silver(NAg), and nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate(NACP), and(2) to conduct the ?rst investigation of the mechanical properties, bio?lm response and acid production vs water-ageing time from 1 day to 12 months.A 4 × 5 design was utilized, with four composites(NACP-QADM composite, NACP-NAg composite, NACP-QADM-NAg composite,and a commercial control composite), and ?ve water-ageing time periods(1 day, and 3, 6, 9, and 12 months). After each waterageing period, the mechanical properties of the resins were measured in a three-point ?exure, and antibacterial properties were tested via a dental plaque bio?lm model using human saliva as an inoculum. After 12 months of water-ageing, NACP-QADMNAg had a ?exural strength and elastic modulus matching those of the commercial control(P40.1). Incorporation of QADM or NAg into the NACP composite greatly reduced bio?lm viability, metabolic activity and acid production. A composite containing both QADM and NAg possessed a stronger antibacterial capability than one with QADM or NAg alone(Po0.05). The anti-bio?lm activity was maintained after 12 months of water-ageing and showed no signi?cant decrease with increasing time(P40.1). In conclusion, the NACP-QADM-NAg composite decreased bio?lm viability and lactic acid production, while matching the loadbearing capability of a commercial composite. There was no decrease in its antibacterial properties after 1 year of water-ageing.The durable antibacterial and mechanical properties indicate that NACP-QADM-NAg composites may be useful in dental restorations to combat caries. | Lei Cheng Ke Zhang Chen-Chen Zhou Michael D Weir Xue-Dong Zhou Hockin HK Xu | 2016 | International Journal of Oral Science2016,8,3: | 8 |
| 6 | Factors affecting genomic selection revealed by empirical evidence in maize显示文摘Genomic selection(GS) as a promising molecular breeding strategy has been widely implemented and evaluated for plant breeding, because it has remarkable superiority in enhancing genetic gain, reducing breeding time and expenditure, and accelerating the breeding process. In this study the factors affecting prediction accuracy(rMG) in GS were evaluated systematically, using six agronomic traits(plant height, ear height, ear length, ear diameter,grain yield per plant and hundred-kernel weight) evaluated in one natural and two biparental populations. The factors examined included marker density, population size, heritability,statistical model, population relationships and the ratio of population size between the training and testing sets, the last being revealed by resampling individuals in different proportions from a population. Prediction accuracy continuously increased as marker density and population size increased and was positively correlated with heritability; rMGshowed a slight gain when the training set increased to three times as large as the testing set. Low predictive performance between unrelated populations could be attributed to different allele frequencies, and predictive ability and prediction accuracy could be improved by including more related lines in the training population. Among the seven statistical models examined, including ridge regression best linear unbiased prediction(RR-BLUP), genomic BLUP(GBLUP), Bayes A, Bayes B, Bayes C, Bayesian least absolute shrinkage and selection operator(Bayesian LASSO), and reproducing kernel Hilbert space(RKHS), the RKHS and additive-dominance model(Add + Dom model) showed credible ability for capturing non-additive effects, particularly for complex traits with low heritability. Empirical evidence generated in this study for GS-relevant factors will help plant breeders to develop GS-assisted breeding strategies for more efficient development of varieties. | Xiaogang Liu Hongwu Wang Hui Wang Zifeng Guo Xiaojie Xu Jiacheng Liu Shanhong Wang Wen-Xue Li Cheng Zou Boddupalli M.Prasanna Michael S.Olsen Changling Huang Yunbi Xu | 2018 | The Crop Journal2018,6,4: | 8 |
| 7 | Characterization of the essential role of bone morphogenetic protein 9 (BMP9) in osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) through RNA interference显示文摘Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)are multipotent stem cells and capable of differentiating into multiple cell types including osteoblastic,chondrogenic and adipogenic lineages.We previously identified BMP9 as one of the most potent BMPs that induce osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs although exact molecular mechanism through which BMP9 regulates osteogenic differentiation remains to be fully understood.Here,we seek to develop a recombinant adenovirus system to optimally silence mouse BMP9 and then characterize the important role of BMP9 in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.Using two different siRNA bioinformatic prediction programs,we design five siRNAs targeting mouse BMP9(or simB9),which are expressed under the control of the converging H1 and U6 promoters in recombinant adenovirus vectors.We demonstrate that two of the five siRNAs,simB9-4 and simB9-7,exhibit the highest efficiency on silencing exogenous mouse BMP9 in MSCs.Furthermore,simB9-4 and simB9-7 act synergistically in inhibiting BMP9-induced expression of osteogenic markers,matrix mineralization and ectopic bone formation from MSCs.Thus,our findings demonstrate the important role of BMP9 in osteogenic differentiation of MSCs.The characterized simB9 siRNAs may be used as an important tool to investigate the molecular mechanism behind BMP9 osteogenic signaling.Our results also indicate that recombinant adenovirus-mediated expression of siRNAs is efficient and sustained,and thus may be used as an effective delivery vehicle of siRNA therapeutics. | Shujuan Yan Ruyi Zhang Ke Wu Jing Cui Shifeng Huang Xiaojuan Ji Liping An Chengfu Yuan Cheng Gong Linghuan Zhang Wei Liu Yixiao Feng Bo Zhang Zhengyu Dai Yi Shen Xi Wang Wenping Luo Bo Liu Rex C.Haydon Michael J.Lee Russell R.Reid Jennifer Moriatis Wolf Qiong Shi Hue H.Luu Tong-Chuan He Yaguang Weng | 2018 | Genes & Diseases2018,5,2: | 8 |

| 10 | Advanced smart biomaterials and constructs for hard tissue engineering and regeneration显示文摘Hard tissue repair and regeneration cost hundreds of billions of dollars annually worldwide, and the need has substantially increased as the population has aged. Hard tissues include bone and tooth structures that contain calcium phosphate minerals.Smart biomaterial-based tissue engineering and regenerative medicine methods have the exciting potential to meet this urgent need. Smart biomaterials and constructs refer to biomaterials and constructs that possess instructive/inductive or triggering/stimulating effects on cells and tissues by engineering the material's responsiveness to internal or external stimuli or have intelligently tailored properties and functions that can promote tissue repair and regeneration. The smart material-based approaches include smart scaffolds and stem cell constructs for bone tissue engineering; smart drug delivery systems to enhance bone regeneration; smart dental resins that respond to pH to protect tooth structures; smart pH-sensitive dental materials to selectively inhibit acid-producing bacteria; smart polymers to modulate biofilm species away from a pathogenic composition and shift towards a healthy composition; and smart materials to suppress biofilms and avoid drug resistance. These smart biomaterials can not only deliver and guide stem cells to improve tissue regeneration and deliver drugs and bioactive agents with spatially and temporarily controlled releases but can also modulate/suppress biofilms and combat infections in wound sites. The new generation of smart biomaterials provides exciting potential and is a promising opportunity to substantially enhance hard tissue engineering and regenerative medicine efficacy. | Ke Zhang Suping Wang Chenchen Zhou Lei Cheng Xianling Gao Xianju Xie Jirun Sun Haohao Wang Michael D.Weir Mark A.Reynolds Ning Zhang Yuxing Bai Hockin H.K.Xu | 2018 | Bone Research2018,6,4: | 6 |
| 11 | SLIPS-TENG: robust triboelectric nanogenerator with optical and charge transparency using a slippery interface显示文摘Energy harvesting devices that prosper in harsh environments are highly demanded in a wide range of applications ranging from wearable and biomedical devices to self-powered and intelligent systems.Particularly,over the past several years,the innovation of triboelectric nanogenerators(TENGs)that efficiently convert ambient kinetic energy of water droplets or wave power to electricity has received growing attention.One of the main bottlenecks for the practical implications of such devices originates from the fast degradation of the physiochemical properties of interfacial materials under harsh environments.To overcome these challenges,here we report the design of a novel slippery lubricant-impregnated porous surface(SLIPS)based TENG,referred to as SLIPS-TENG,which exhibits many distinctive advantages over conventional design including optical transparency,configurability,self-cleaning,flexibility,and power generation stability,in a wide range of working environments.Unexpectedly,the slippery and configurable lubricant layer not only serves as a unique substrate for liquid/droplet transport and optical transmission,but also for efficient charge transfer.Moreover,we show that there exists a critical thickness in the liquid layer,below which the triboelectric effect is almost identical to that without the presence of such a liquid film.Such an intriguing charge transparency behavior is reminiscent of the wetting transparency and van der Waals potential transparency of graphene previously reported,though the fundamental mechanism remains to be elucidated.We envision that the marriage of these two seemingly totally different arenas(SLIPS and TENG)provides a paradigm shift in the design of robust and versatile energy devices that can be used as a clean and longer-lifetime alternative in various working environments. | Wanghuai Xu Xiaofeng Zhou Chonglei Hao Huanxi Zheng Yuan Liu Xiantong Yan Zhengbao Yang Michael Leung Xiao Cheng Zeng Ronald X.

| 12 | Effect of anti-biofilm glass–ionomer cement on Streptococcus mutans biofilms显示文摘Dental restorative materials with antimicrobial properties can inhibit bacterial colonization, which may result in a reduction of caries at tooth-filling interaction zones. This study aimed to develop antibacterial glass–ionomer cements(GIC) containing a quaternary ammonium monomer(dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate, DMADDM), and to investigate their effect on material performance and antibacterial properties. Different mass fractions(0, 1.1% and 2.2%) of DMADDM were incorporated into the GIC. The flexure strength, surface charge density, surface roughness and fluoride release were tested. A Streptococcus mutans biofilm model was used. Exopolysaccharides(EPS) staining was used to analyze the inhibitory effect of DMADDM on the biofilm matrix. In addition, biofilm metabolic activity, lactic acid metabolism and the expression of glucosyltransferase genes gtf B, gtf C and gtf D were measured. GIC containing 1.1% and 2.2% DMADDM had flexural strengths matching those of the commercial control(P40.1). DMADDM was able to increase the surface charge density but reduced surface roughness(Po0.05). The incorporation of 1.1% and 2.2% DMADDM elevated the release of fluoride by the GIC in the first 2 days(Po0.05). The novel DMADDM-modified GIC significantly reduced biofilm metabolic activity(Po0.05) and decreased lactic acid production(Po0.05). The quantitative polymerase chain reaction(q PCR) results showed that the expression of gtf B, gtf C and gtf D decreased when mass fractions of DMADDM increased(Po0.05). EPS staining showed that both the bacteria and EPS in biofilm decreased in the DMADDM groups. The incorporation of DMADDM could modify the properties of GIC to influence the development of S. mutans biofilms. In this study, we investigated the interface properties of antibacterial materials for the first time. GIC containing DMADDM can improve material performance and antibacterial properties and may contribute to the better management of secondary caries. | Su-Ping Wang Yang Ge Xue-Dong Zhou Hockin HK Xu Michael D Weir Ke-Ke Zhang Hao-Hao Wang Matthias Hannig Stefan Rupf Qian Li Lei Cheng | 2016 | International Journal of Oral Science2016,8,2: | 5 |
| 13 | OR^His, a Natural Variant of OR, Specifically Interacts with Plastid Division Factor ARC3 to Regulate Chromoplast Number and Carotenoid Accumulation显示文摘Chromoplasts are colored plastids that synthesize and store massive amounts of carotenoids.Chromoplast number and size define the sink strength for carotenoid accumulation in plants.However,nothing is known about the mechanisms controlling chromoplast number.Previously,a natural allele of Orange(OR),OR^His,was found to promote carotenoid accumulation by activating chromoplast differentiation and increasing carotenoid biosynthesis,but cells in orange tissues in melon fruit and cauliflower OR mutant have only one or two enlarged chromoplasts.In this study,we investigated an OR^His variant of Arabidopsis OR,genetically mimicking the melon OR^His allele,and found that it also constrains chromoplast number in Arabidopsis calli.Both in vitro and in vivo experiments demonstrate that OR^His specifically interacts with the Membrane Occupation and Recognition Nexus domain of ACCUMULATION AND REPLICATION OF CHLOROPLASTS 3(ARC3),a crucial regulator of chloroplast division.We further showed that OR^His interferes with the interaction between ARC3 and PARALOG OF ARC6(PARC6),another key regulator of chloroplast division,suggesting a role of OR^His in competing with PARC6 for binding to ARC3 to restrict chromoplast number.Overexpression or knockout of ARC3 in Arabidopsis OR^His plants significantly alters total carotenoid levels.Moreover,overexpression of the plastid division factor PLASTID DIVISION 1 greatly enhances carotenoid accumulation.These division factors likely alter carotenoid levels via their influence on chromoplast number and/or size.Taken together,our findings provide novel mechanistic insights into the machinery controlling chromoplast number and highlight a potential new strategy for enhancing carotenoid accumulation and nutritional value in food crops. | Tianhu Sun Hui Yuan Cheng Chen Deena K.Kadirjan-Kalbach Michael Mazourek Katherine W.Osteryoung Li Li | 2020 | Molecular Plant2020,13,6: | 4 |
| 14 | Primer containing dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate kills bacteria impregnated in human dentin blocks显示文摘Antibacterial dimethylaminododecyl methacrylate(DMADDM) was recently synthesized. The objectives of this study were to:(1)investigate antibacterial activity of DMADDM-containing primer on Streptococcus mutans impregnated into dentin blocks for the first time, and(2) compare the antibacterial efficacy of DMADDM with a previous quaternary ammonium dimethacrylate(QADM).Scotchbond Multi-Purpose(SBMP) bonding agent was used. DMADDM and QADM were mixed into SBMP primer. Six primers were tested: SBMP control primer P, P+2.5% DMADDM, P+5% DMADDM, P+7.5% DMADDM, P+10% DMADDM, and P+10% QADM.S. mutans were impregnated into human dentin blocks, and each primer was applied to dentin to test its ability to kill bacteria in dentinal tubules. Bacteria in dentin were collected via a sonication method, and the colony-forming units(CFU) and inhibition zones were measured. The bacterial inhibition zone of P+10% DMADDM was 10 times that of control primer(Po0.05). CFU in dentin with P+10% DMADDM was reduced by three orders of magnitude, compared with control. DMADDM had a much stronger antibacterial effect than QADM, and antibacterial efficacy increased with increasing DMADDM concentration. Dentin shear bond strengths were similar among all groups(P40.1). In conclusion, antibacterial DMADDM-containing primer was validated to kill bacteria inside dentin blocks, possessing a much stronger antibacterial potency than the previous QADM. DMADDM-containing bonding agent was effective in eradicating bacteria in dentin, and its efficacy was directly proportional to DMADDM mass fraction. Therefore, DMADDM may be promising for use in bonding agents as well as in other restorative and preventive materials to inhibit bacteria. | Chen Chen Lei Cheng Michael D Weir Nancy J Lin Sheng Lin-Gibson Xue-Dong Zhou Hockin HK Xu | 2016 | International Journal of Oral Science2016,8,4: | 4 |

| 17 | Short-term climatic impacts of afforestation in the East Asian monsoon region显示文摘The influence of changes in vegetation cover on short-term climate over the East Asian monsoon region is simulated using the Community Climate System Model Version 3.5.The results show the annual mean surface air temperature significantly decreases by 0.93°C in response to afforestation over the East Asian monsoon region.Also,surface air temperature decreases by 1.46 and 0.40°C in summer and winter,respectively.The cooling is caused by enhanced evapotranspiration(ET) produced by increased forest cover.Evapotranspiration is greater in summer than in winter,so summer cooling is greater than winter cooling.The annual mean precipitation increases in response to afforestation,with a maximum of 7% in April.Water vapor increases significantly because of greater latent heat flux release.Meanwhile,afforestation leads to higher surface roughness,which decreases surface wind speed and induces an ascending air motion.These factors can produce more clouds and precipitation.Moreover,the surface albedo and the reflective solar radiation are reduced in response to afforestation. | MA Di LIU ZhengYu Lü ShiHua MICHAEL Notaro RONG XinYao CHENG GuangShan WANG FuYao | 2013 | Chinese Science Bulletin2013,58,18: | 3 |

| 19 | Dental remineralization via poly(amido amine) and restorative materials containing calcium phosphate nanoparticles显示文摘Tooth decay is prevalent,and secondary caries causes restoration failures,both of which are related to demineralization.There is an urgent need to develop new therapeutic materials with remineralization functions.This article represents the first review on the cutting edge research of poly(amido amine)(PAMAM) in combination with nanoparticles of amorphous calcium phosphate (NACP).PAMAM was excellent nucleation template,and could absorb calcium (Ca) and phosphate (P) ions via its functional groups to activate remineralization.NACP composite and adhesive showed acid-neutralization and Ca and P ion release capabilities.PAMAM +NACP together showed synergistic effects and produced triple benefits: excellent nucleation templates,superior acidneutralization,and ions release.Therefore,the PAMAM+NACP strategy possessed much greater remineralization capacity than using PAMAM or NACP alone.PAMAM+NACP achieved dentin remineralization even in an acidic solution without any initial Ca and P ions.Besides,the long-term remineralization capability of PAMAM+NACP was established.After prolonged fluid challenge,the immersed PAMAM with the recharged NACP still induced effective dentin mineral regeneration.Furthermore,the hardness of predemineralized dentin was increased back to that of healthy dentin,indicating a complete remineralization.Therefore,the novel PAMAM+NACP approach is promising to provide long-term therapeutic effects including tooth remineralization,hardness increase,and caries-inhibition capabilities. | Kunneng Liang Suping Wang Siying Tao Shimeng Xiao Han Zhou Ping Wang Lei Cheng Xuedong Zhou Michael D.Weir Thomas W.Oates Jiyao Li Hockin H.K.Xu | 2019 | International Journal of Oral Science2019,11,3: | 3 |
| 20 | Development of a panel of unigene-derived polymorphic EST–SSR markers in lentil using public database information显示文摘Lentil(Lens culinaris Medik.), a diploid(2n = 14) with a genome size greater than 4000 Mbp, is an important cool season food legume grown worldwide. The availability of genomic resources is limited in this crop species. The objective of this study was to develop polymorphic markers in lentil using publicly available curated expressed sequence tag information(ESTs). In this study, 9513 ESTs were downloaded from the National Center for Biotechnology Information(NCBI) database to develop unigene-based simple sequence repeat(SSR) markers. The ESTs were assembled into 4053 unigenes and then analyzed to identify 374 SSRs using the MISA microsatellite identification tool. Among the 374 SSRs, 26 compound SSRs were observed.Primer pairs for these SSRs were designed using Primer3 version 1.14. To classify the functional annotation of ESTs and EST–SSRs, BLASTx searches(using E-value 1 × 10-5) against the public UniP rot(http://www.uniprot.org/) and NCBI(http://www.ncbi.nlh.nih.gov/) databases were performed. Further functional annotation was performed using PLAZA(version3.0) comparative genomics and GO annotation was summarized using the Plant GO slim category. Among the synthesized 312 primers, 219 successfully amplified Lens DNA. A diverse panel of 24 Lens genotypes was used to identify polymorphic markers. A polymorphic set of 57 markers successfully discriminated the test genotypes. This set of polymorphic markers with functional annotation data could be used as molecular tools in lentil breeding. | Debjyoti Sen Gupta Peng Cheng Gaurav Sablok Dil Thavarajah Pushparajah Thavarajah Clarice J.Coyne Shiv Kumar Michael Baum Rebecca J.McGee | 2016 | The Crop Journal2016,4,5: | 2 |
