The genus Rosa Linnaeus, 1753 has important economic value in ornamental sector and many breeding activities are going on supported by molecular studies. However, the cytogenetic studies of rose species are scarce and mainly focused on chromosome counting and chromosome morphology-based karyotyping.

Precis coenia exhibits a seasonal color polyphenism. Animals reared under long-day conditions develop a pale tan pigmentation on their ventral hind wing (the linea form), whereas animals reared under short-day conditions develop a dark reddish-brown pigmentation (the rosa form).

Nitric oxide (NO) has been known as a gaseous chemical mediator, which modulates several physiological functions. Spatial and temporal control of NO release facilitates further study and medical application of NO. Herein, we report design and synthesis of a novel NO donor, NO-Rosa. NO-Rosa has a rosamine moiety, which absorbs yellowish green light. Upon irradiation with yellowish green light (5...
