Responses of day-neutral,June-bearing and everbearing strawberry cultiv ars to gibberellic acid and phthalimide treatments

Field grown day-neutral, June-bearing and everbearing strawberry cultivars responded similarly to GA₃ in most cases. GA₃ stimulated daughter-plant production in ‘Hecker’ (DN) and suppressed it in ‘Guardian’ (June). Fifty mg l^?1 GA₃ increased initial runner production of all cultivars, while both 50 and 100 mg l^?1 GA₃ increased fruit yield the year following treatment. In greenhouse studies, GA₃ initially increased leaf number, petiole length and runner production, but the effects diminished with time. Phthalimide at 1000 mg l^?1 was most effective in increasing leaf number.     

Synthesis of PPAR-γ Activators Inspired by the Marine Natural Product,Paecilocin A

A series of N-substituted phthalimide derivatives were synthesized based on a pharmacophore study of paecilocin A (a natural PPAR-γ agonist) and synthetic leads. The introduction of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups to the phthalimide skeleton yielded compounds 3–14. Compound 7 showed significant PPAR-γ activation in a luciferase assay using rat liver Ac2F cells. Docking simulations showed that a free hydroxyl group on the phthalimide head and a suitable hydrophilic tail, including a phenyl linker, were beneficial for PPAR-γ activation. Compound 7 and rosiglitazone concentration-dependently activated PPAR-γ with EC₅₀ values of 0.67 μM and 0.028 μM, respectively. These phthalimide derivatives could be further investigated as a new class of PPAR-γ ligands.     

Gibberellin-like stimulation of celery (Apium graveolens L.) seed germination by N-substituted phthalimides

Thermodormancy of celery seeds incubated in the dark at 22°C was alleviated by two N-substituted phthalimides to the same extent as that normally achieved with a mixture of the gibberellins A₄ and A₇. As previously demonstrated with GA₄₊₇, the highly dormant cultivar ‘Lathom Blanching’ responded more to phthalimides in the presence of cytokinin, whereas ‘Florida 683’ required no cytokinin to elicit the maximum response to phthalimide treatment. Seed-soak treatments with either N-substituted phthalimide improved both the rate of germination and the percentage seedling emergence of both cultivars sown in compost under glasshouse conditions.

茶叶中邻苯二甲酰亚胺残留气相色谱-串联质谱测定

邻苯二甲酰亚胺（PI）和灭菌丹总量作为灭菌丹残留限量标准,造成茶叶中灭菌丹检测的假阳性误判,成为阻碍我国茶叶出口主要因素之一。本文优化了QuEChERS前处理条件,建立了气相色谱串联质谱法检测茶叶中PI残留的方法。样品经乙腈提取,多壁碳纳米管、十八烷基硅烷和苯磺基强阳离子交换剂组成的混合分散吸附剂净化。在10、20、50、100βμg∙kg^-1添加水平下,回收率为73%~104%,相对标准偏差低于20%。方法定量限为10.0βμg∙kg^-1。该方法简便、可靠、准确,灵敏度高,适用于茶叶中PI残留检测。
