چکیده
Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla L.) is renowned for its production of essential oils, which major components are sesquiterpenoids. As the important enzyme in the sesquiterpenoid biosynthesis pathway, the enzyme 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGR) catelyzes the first committed step of isoprenoids biosynthesis in MVA pathway. In this study, a full-length cDNA encoding HMGR (designated as McHMGR, GenBank Accession No. KX925561) was successfully isolated from leaves of M. chamomilla by PCR. The full-length cDNA of McHMGR was 2276 bp long and contained a 1743 bp open reading frame (ORF) encoding a 580-amino-acid protein. The sequence of the McHMGR protein was highly homologous to those of HMGR proteins from other plant species. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated that McHMGR shared the same ancestor in evolution with HMGRs and had a further relationship with other Dicotyledoneae species. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that the expression level of McHMGR is highest in the flowers and lowest in the stems. The isolation and characterization of McHMGR gene will be helpful to further study the role of McHMGR gene in the biosynthesis of sesquiterpenoids on M. chamomilla.

Evidence of the Potential Shift Mechanism in Crevice Corrosion (RESEARCH NOTES)
Previous research has indicated a qualitative resemblance between the current distribution along actively corroding crevice walls and currents measured in corresponding anodic polarization plots. Using detailed measurements of the potential gradient along the crevice, a semi-quantitative current distribution was calculated for the crevice wall using a double numerical differentiation method. Th...

Carbon nanoscrolls (CNSs) belong to the same class of carbon-based nanomaterialsas carbon nanotubes. As a new category of quasi one dimensional material Graphene Nanoscroll (GNS) has captivated the researchers recently because of its exceptional electronic properties like having large carrier mobility. GNS shape has open edges and no caps unlike Single Wall Nanotubes (SWNTs) which are wou...
متن کاملA New Strategy for Simultaneous Compensation of Instantaneous Reactive Power and Harmonics of Non-Linear Loads (RESEARCH NOTE)
This paper presents a new control method for simultaneous compensation of instantaneous reactive power and current harmonics by parallel active filters (PAFs). Reference compensating currents of PAF are calculated using the subtraction of instantaneous power from its average value. In this way, it is possible omitting high/low pass filter(s) from the control circuit of PAF, which usually result...
