An electrolyte-gated transistor for the monitoring of a CRISPR/Cas activity by Pierre Guermonprez, Le Tu Anh, Louis Renaud, Pierre Nioche, Eric Krejci, Aurélie Alleaume-Butaux, Nicolas Battaglini, Vu Thi Thu, Sébastien Sanaur, Benoît Piro

“…Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) remains the gold standard, but clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats linked to a Cas endoribonuclease particle (CRISPR/Cas) have recently revolutionized the recognition step of two RNAs, i.e. the CRISPR-RNA (crRNA) and the target, providing a much better selectivity compared to the naked hybridization on which RT-PCR is based. Here, we combine the high efficiency of the CRISPR/Cas13a system with the transduction and amplification capabilities of an electrolyte-gated graphene field-effect transistor (EGGFET) for the detection of specific RNA sequences. …”

Flowering characteristics and breeding system of Deutzia parviflora by WANG Qi, LI Jinyu, WANG Xinyi, WANG Yixuan, GUO Wei, YUAN Tao

“…[Conclusion] There is no apomixis in D . parviflora and the breeding system is a mixed mating system, dominanted by outcrossing mechanism, requiring pollinators, and it is more fertile and can be used as a parent for hybrid breeding in the genus Deutzia. Its low self-incompatibility is not due to dichogamy and herkogamy.…”
