ABSTRACT
Wild relatives of crops are often rich in genetic resources and provide great possibilities for crop improvement. Ipomoea pes-caprae is one of the wild relatives of sweet potato and has high salt tolerance. Transcriptomes in the treatment and control groups at various times were sequenced to identify salt tolerance genes and salt response pathways. A total of 40,525 genes were obtained, of which 2478 and 3334 were differentially expressed in the roots and leaves of I. pes-caprae under salt stress, respectively. Identification of candidate genes revealed that the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) signaling pathway of plants and plant hormone signal transduction participates in the salt signal of I. pes-caprae under salt stress. Homology to ABI2 (HAB2) and Clade A protein phosphatases type 2C (HAI1), which encode two protein phosphatases 2C (PP2C) in the abscisic acid (ABA) signal pathway, were continuously up-regulated upon salt stress, indicating their key role in the salt signal transduction pathway of I. pes-caprae. The expression of EIN3-binding F-box protein 1 (EBF1) in the ethylene signaling pathway was also up-regulated, revealing that the salt tolerance of I. pes-caprae was related to the scavenging of reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study provides insights into the mechanism of salt-tolerant plants and the mining of salt-tolerant genes in sweet potato for the innovation of germplasm resources.

In the title complex, [Zn(C(11)H(12)NOSe(2))(2)], the Zn(II) atom is four-coordinated by two O,N-bidentate Schiff base ligands in a distorted tetra-hedral geometry.
ABSTRACT
In the title compound, C(14)H(13)NOS(3), the dihedral angle between the benzene rings is 73.26â (5)° and an intra-molecular O-Hâ¯N hydrogen bond occurs.
ABSTRACT
In the title compound, [Cu(C(8)H(6)BrO(2))(2)(C(7)H(10)N(2))(2)(H(2)O)(2)], the Cu(II) atom (site symmetry ) adopts a Jahn-Teller-distorted trans-CuN(2)O(4) octa-hedral coordination, with the aqua O atoms in axially extended sites. An intra-molecular O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bond helps to establish the conformation and an inter-molecular O-Hâ¯O hydrogen bond is seen in the crystal packing.
ABSTRACT
In the title mol-ecular salt, C(7)H(10)NO(+)·C(8)H(7)O(2)S(-), the crystal structure is stabilized by inter-molecular N-Hâ¯O, O-Hâ¯N and C-Hâ¯O hydrogen bonds.
