Transcriptome pathways unique to dehydration tolerant relatives of modern wheat [PDF]
Among abiotic stressors, drought is a major factor responsible for dramatic yield loss in agriculture. In order to reveal differences in global expression profiles of drought tolerant and sensitive wild emmer wheat genotypes, a previously deployed shock ...

Enantiospecific Optical Sensing of Terpenes by an Aggregated Atropisomeric Platinum(II) Complex
Aggregated metal complexes act as an artificial nose and permit reversible optical sensing of small volatile molecules like R/S‐limonene based on enantiospecific recognition. Abstract Terpenes are unfunctionalized small volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are naturally abundant, relevant to climate change, and impose potential health risks.

Caryolene-forming carbocation rearrangements
Density functional theory calculations on mechanisms of the formation of caryolene, a putative biosynthetic precursor to caryol-1(11)-en-10-ol, reveal two mechanisms for caryolene formation: one involves a base-catalyzed deprotonation/reprotonation ...
