E78 is a member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily which plays an important role in egg development and maternal regulation of early embryogenesis. In this study, brown planthopper E78(NlE78) was cloned, and the predicted amino acid sequence showed that it contains two conserved domains: NR-LBD and DBD. qRT-PCR showed that the expression of NlE78 is high in the fifth instar nymphs and the ovaries of females. After downregulation of NlE78, the rate of moulting failure(33.2%) increased significantly, and ovarian development was delayed. However, when NlE78was downregulated together with NlE93, the emergence rate increased significantly(78.79%), and ovarian development was similar to that when NlE78 was downregulated but not delayed. A co-immunoprecipitation experiment showed that NlE78 interacts with NlE93, a crucial downstream transcription factor of the ecdysone signalling pathway. Cellular localization by immunofluorescence revealed that NlE78 and NlE93 are expressed in the nucleus. This study indicates that NlE78 regulates ovarian development and moulting, possibly through its interaction with NlE93. This study is of great significance for the development of new pesticides and control methods based on newly discovered targets.展开更多

A series of novel oligo(halobenzoquinoid) compounds have been obtained from the photoinduced self-substitution of 2,5-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone (1a), 2,6-dibromo-1,4-benzoquinone (1b), 2-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1c), 2-bromo-5-chloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1d), 2,3,5,6-tetrachloro-1,4-benzoquinone (1e) and 1,4-benzoquinone (1f) in the presence of N,N-dimethyl-t-butylamine (2) in acetonitrile. Dimers, trimers and/or pentamers of these haloquinones were found to be the major products.展开更多

In this synthetic route, the highly methylated（2R,3R,4S,6S）-3-hydroxy-2,4,6-trimethyldodecanoic acid（HTMD） unit was effectively prepared through the asymmetric methylation, Wittig and Horner–Wadsworth–Emmons reaction. Moreover, pentafluorophenyl diphenylphophinate（FDPP） proved to be an effective condensation reagent for the macrolactamization between C14 and C18.展开更多
