RESUMEN
A core-satellite-structured surface molecularly imprinted polymer has been synthesized for the enrichment of 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde by pipette tip solid-phase extraction (SPE). In a typical sol-gel process, two silane reagents as functional monomers and 3-phenoxybenzoic acid as the dummy template, the surface imprinting layer was coated on the core-satellite silica microsphere, which formed the core-satellite-structured molecularly imprinted polymer (CSMIP). Compared to the silica-based core-shell ones, this CS-MIP exhibits a stunning surface area (142 m2 g-1) in micrometer size and also overcomes the aggregation trends of core-shell structure in nanoscale. Taking potassium permanganate solution as oxidizer and indicator, the adsorbed 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde can be a quantitatively determined through redox reaction after elution. The value of maximum adsorption capacity and imprinting factor of CS-MIP were calculated to be 87.5 µg mg-1 and 2.13, respectively. These CS-MIPs were packed into commercial pipette tip as the sorbent to concentrate 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde. Under the optimum condition, a liner relationship was achieved in the range 0.200 to 1.00 µg mL-1 and the limit of detection was 81 ng mL-1. Moreover, this customized SPE device exhibits good adsorption capability after six sequential adsorption-desorption cycles, and the high recovery range of 92.2~99.7% of spiked tap water assay demonstrated its potential application for real sample analysis. Graphical abstract Schematic presentation of core-satellite molecularly imprinted polymer preparation strategy and customized pipette tip solid-phase extraction device.

Powdery mildew induced by Blumeria graminis f. sp. Tritici (Bgt) has a devastating impact on global wheat yield and quality. Host resistance is the most effective and economical means to control this disease. In this study, Heng 4568, an elite wheat cultivar, shows high resistance to 12 Bgt isolates from different regions in China at the seedling stage. Genetic analysis demonstrates that the powdery mildew resistance in Heng 4568 is conferred by a single dominant locus, temporarily designated PmH4568. Furthermore, PmH4568 is mapped to the reported Pm2 interval on chromosome 5DS with five Pm2 linked markers and flanked by the markers Bwm20 and Bwm21 with a genetic distance of 0.3 and 0.6 cM, respectively. To further investigate the relationship between PmH4568 and Pm2, the diagnostic marker Pm2b-map-3 of Pm2 is used to genotype the F2:3 population derived from the cross Heng 4568 × Daimai 2173. Notably, there is no recombination found, indicating that PmH4568 is also probably a Pm2 allele. In addition, five closely linked markers as well as one diagnostic marker are successfully developed and tested in 16 wheat cultivars from different agro-ecological areas in China, which have potential applications in molecular breeding by marker-assisted selection.
RESUMEN
A new fluorescent probe based on ensemble of gold nanoclusters (AuNCs) and polymer protected gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) for turn-on sensing of L-cysteine was designed and prepared. The AuNCs were protected by bovine serum albumin and had strong fluorescence. The polymer protected AuNPs were synthesized by a facile in situ strategy at room temperature and could quench the fluorescence of AuNCs due to the Förster resonance energy transfer. Interestingly, it has been observed that the quenched fluorescence of AuNCs was recovered by L-cysteine, which could induce the aggregation of polymer protected AuNPs by sulfur group. Then the prepared fluorescent probe was successfully used for determination of L-Cys in human urines, which would have an evolving aspect and promote the subsequent exploration.
