Gossypium

Gossypium is a genus of plants in the family Malvaceae, commonly known as cotton.
These perennial shrubs or small trees are native to tropical and subtropical regions, and are cultivated worldwide for their valuable fiber, which is the primary source of natural textile fibers.
Gossypium species display a diverse range of morphological characteristics, including variation in leaf shape, flower color, and boll (fruit) size and structure.
Understanding the biology and taxonomy of Gossypium is crucial for improving cotton crop yield and quality, as well as developing new textile applications.
Researchers can leverage the power of PubCompare.ai to streamline their Gossypium research, easily locating relevant protocols and identifying the most accurate and reproducible methods to advance their findings.

A vaginal swab was collected using a cotton tipped swab (Puritan Medical Products Company, LLC Guilford, ME) wetted with ambient temperature physiological saline and inserted into the vagina of the restrained mouse. The swab was gently turned and rolled against the vaginal wall and then removed. Cells were transferred to a dry glass slide by rolling the swab across the slide. The slide was air dried and then stained with approximately 400 µL of stain (Accustain, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO) for 45 seconds. The slides were rinsed with water, overlaid with a coverslip, and viewed immediately at 200× magnification under bright field illumination. The stage of the estrous cycle was determined based on the presence or absence of leukocytes, cornified epithelial, and nucleated epithelial cells according to Felicio, et al [9] (link).
When the female is in proestrus, mostly nucleated and some cornified epithelial cells are present. Some leukocytes may be present if the female is in early proestrus. As the stage of the cycle advances to estrus, mostly cornified epithelial cells are present. If the cycle is not interrupted by pregnancy, pseudopregnancy, or other phenomena, metestrus will begin. Metestrus is a brief stage when the corpora lutea form but fail to fully luteinize due to a lack of progesterone. The uterine lining will begin to slough and evidence of this is seen in the form of cornified eipithelial cells and polymorphonuclear leukocytes present in vaginal swabs. Some nucleated epithelia cells will also be present in late metestrus. Diestrus is the longest of the stages lasting more than 2 days. Vaginal swabs during diestrus show primarily polymorphonuclear leukocytes and a few epithelial cells during late diestrus. Leukocytes remain the predominant cell type having removed cellular debris. The cycle then repeats.

The use of a two-stage sulfuric acid hydrolysis for the analysis of lignin dates to the turn of the 20th century, although the use of concentrated acid to release sugars from wood dates to the early 19th century (7 ). Klason, in 1906, is often credited as the first to use sulfuric acid to isolate lignin from wood (7 −9 ). The method became named after Klason, and the insoluble residue from the test is known as “Klason lignin.” An English translation of a Klason paper, from this period (10 ), describes his attempt to determine the structure of spruce wood lignin. According to Brauns (7 ), Klason’s method originally used 72 wt % sulfuric acid; he later reduced this to 66 wt % to gelatinize the wood. He filtered the solids and subjected them to a second hydrolysis in 0.5 wt % hydrochloric acid.
Although Klason is generally credited as being the first to use sulfuric acid for lignin analysis, Sherrard and Harris (11 ) credit the use of sulfuric acid to Fleschsig in 1883, Ost and Wilkening in 1912, and König and Rump in 1913. According to Harris (12 ), Fleschsig, in 1883, dissolved cotton cellulose and converted it nearly quantitatively into sugars using strong sulfuric acid followed by dilution and heating. According to Browning (13 ), Ost and Wilkening introduced the use of 72 wt % sulfuric acid for lignin determinations in 1910. A translated paper by Heuser (14 ) credited König and Ost and Wilkening for the sulfuric acid lignin method. Dore (15 ) described several improved analytical methods (cellulose, lignin, soluble pentosans, mannan, and galactan) for the summative analysis of coniferous woods. The discrepancies in attribution may be due to differing definitions for the method cited (e.g., first to use acid to determine lignin, first to use sulfuric acid, first to use 72 wt % sulfuric acid, etc.) and to missed citations across continental distances in the early 20th century.

Blood fed An. funestus adult females resting indoor were collected in houses between 06 and 12 AM in Tororo District (0°45′ N, 34°5′E) in Eastern Uganda, an area of high malaria transmission [2] (link). The collection was carried out in April and November 2009. Blood-fed and gravid mosquitoes resting inside houses were collected using aspirators and torches and immediately transported to the laboratory of the National Livestock Resources Research Institute based in Tororo. A new method was used to induce the females to lay eggs. Briefly, the collected blood fed females were stored in net covered paper cups or in cages and provided with cotton wool moistened with sucrose. They were maintained for 4 to 5 days to allow them to fully reach the gravid stage and were checked daily for survival. The gravid mosquitoes were then gently individually introduced into 1.5 ml Eppendorf tubes containing a 1square cm filter paper inserted into the bottom of the tube. The filter paper was moistened and excess water removed. The cap of the Eppendorf tube was pierced with 3 holes to allow air into the tube. The tubes were checked daily for the presence of eggs. Females that laid eggs were carefully removed from the tubes and transferred into Eppendorf tubes with silica gel. Eggs were stored at room temperature or at 4°C for up to 2 days and then sent via courier to the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine (LSTM) where they were allowed to hatch in small cup and later transferred to larvae bowls for rearing. Apart from 20 families that were reared individually, the egg batches were pooled and reared together. Larvae were comparatively reared in mineral (bottled) and distilled water and fed abundantly with TetraminTM baby fish food every day. Water of each larvae bowl was changed every two days to reduce the mortality. The F1 adults generated were randomly mixed in cages for subsequent experiments.

For nucleotide extraction from the petri-dish sampler, a cotton swab was moistened with sterile water and used to wipe the surface. The tip of the swab was then cut directly into a tube containing lysing matrix E beads (MP Biomedicals, Burlingame, CA, USA). A volume of 400 μl each of Miller Phosphate Buffer and Miller SDS lysis buffer (Miller et al., 1999 (link)) and 450 μl of 25:24:1 phenol: chloroform: isoamyl alcohol were added. Tubes were homogenized using a Biospec Mini 8 bead mill (Biospec, Bartlesville, OK, USA) at full speed for 1 min. The supernatant, approximately 560 μl, was isolated after centrifuging at 10 000 g for 5 min at 4 °C and mixed with an equal volume of chloroform. The supernatant was again isolated, approximately 480 μl, after centrifuging at 10 000 g for 5 min at 4 °C, and then processed further with the MoBio Power Soil DNA Extraction Kit (Carlsbad, CA, USA), starting with two volumes of solution C4 to isolate DNA onto the spin filters. Genomic DNA was further cleaned with the C5 ethanol-based wash solution and finally eluted in 100 μl warm C6 elution buffer run twice through the filter. Negative controls of sterile cotton swabs were also processed, and any taxa detected were filtered out of the other samples.

Probe Materials

A number of porous materials were tested to generate charged droplets for mass spectrometry. The materials were shaped into triangles having sharp tips and sample solution was then applied to the constructed probes. Data herein show that any hydrophilic and porous substrate could be used successfully, including cotton swab, textile, plant tissues as well as different papers. The porous network or microchannels of these materials offered enough space to hold liquid and the hydrophilic environment made it possible for liquid transport by capillary action. Hydrophobic and porous substrates could also be used successfully with properly selected hydrophobic solvents.

For further investigation, six kinds of commercialized papers were selected and qualitatively tested to evaluate their capabilities in analyte detection. Filter papers and chromatography paper were made from cellulose, while glass microfiber filter paper was made from glass microfiber. FIG. 19 shows the mass spectra of cocaine detection on those papers. The spectrum of glass fiber paper (FIG. 19E) was unique because the intensity of background was two orders of magnitude lower than other papers and the cocaine peak (m/z, 304) could not be identified.

It was hypothesized that the glass fiber paper was working on mode II and prohibiting efficient droplet generation, due to the relative large thickness (˜2 mm). This hypothesis was proved by using a thin layer peeled from glass fiber paper for cocaine detection. In that case, the intensity of the background increased and a cocaine peak was observed. All filter papers worked well for cocaine detection, (FIGS. 19A-19D). Chromatography paper showed the cleanest spectrum and relative high intensity of cocaine (FIG. 19F).

Probe Shape and Tip Angle

Many different probe shapes were investigated with respect to generating droplets. A preferred shape of the porous material included at least one tip. It was observed that the tip allowed ready formation of a Taylor cone. A probe shape of a triangle was used most often. As shown in FIGS. 25A-25C, the sharpness of the tip, the angle of the tip (FIGS. 27A-25B), and the thickness of the paper substrate could effect the spray characteristics. The device of a tube shape with multiple tips (FIG. 25-D) is expected to act as a multiple-tip sprayer, which should have improved spray efficiency. An array of micro sprayers can also be fabricated on a DBS card using sharp needles to puncture the surface (FIG. 25E).

The instant study was designed to test the efficacy in cotton rats of hMPV vaccines against a lethal challenge. mRNA vaccines encoding hMPV fusion protein were used. The mRNA polynucleotide encodes a full-length fusion protein and comprises the wild-type nucleotide sequence obtained from the hMPV A2a strain.

Cotton rats were immunized intramuscularly (IM) at week 0 and week 3 with the mRNA vaccines encoding hMPV fusion protein with either 2 μg or 10 μg doses for each immunization. The animals were then challenged with a lethal dose of hMPV in week 7 post initial immunization via IV, IM or ID. The endpoint was day 13 post infection, death or euthanasia. Viral titers in the noses and lungs of the cotton rats were measured. The results (FIGS. 9A and 9B) show that a 10 μg dose of mRNA vaccine protected the cotton mice 100% in the lung and drastically reduced the viral titer in the nose after challenge (˜2 log reduction). Moreover, a 2 μg dose of mRNA vaccine showed a 1 log reduction in lung viral titer in the cotton mice challenged.

Further, the histopathology of the lungs of the cotton mice immunized and challenged showed no pathology associated with vaccine-enhanced disease (FIG. 10).

Example 14

A 1 L round bottom flask equipped with a condensor was placed under a N2 atmosphere and charged with propylene imine (80.0 gram), n-butyl glycidyl ether (126.0 gram) and K2CO3 (10.00 gram) and heated to 80° C. in 30 min, after which the mixture was stirred for 21 h at T=80° C. After filtration the excess of PI was removed in vacuo, followed by further purification via vacuum distillation, resulting in a colorless low viscous liquid.

1.92 grams of the resulting material (1-butoxy-3-(2-methylaziridin-1-yl)propan-2-ol) was charged to a reaction flask equipped with a thermometer, together with 0.02 grams of bismuth neodecanoate and 19 grams of dimethylformamide. The mixture was stirred with a mechanical upper stirrer under a nitrogen atmosphere and heated to 50° C. A solution of 2.00 grams of Desmodur N 3600 in 19 grams of dimethylformamide was then added dropwise in 45 minutes to the reaction flask, whereafter the mixture was heated further to 70° C. Samples were taken at regular intervals and the reaction progress was monitored using a Bruker Alpha FT-IR spectrometer until no NCO-stretch at 2200-2300 cm−1 was observed. The solvent was removed in vacuo to obtain a clear, yellowish highly viscous liquid. The calculated molecular weight of the theoretical main component was 1065.74 Da, chemical structure is shown below.

[Figure (not displayed)]

Molecular weight was confirmed by Maldi-TOF-MS: Calcd. [M+Na+]=1088.74 Da; Obs. [M+Na+]=1088.76 Da. The following components with a mass below 580 Da were determined by LC-MS and quantified:

was present in the composition at 0.36 wt. % and

[Figure (not displayed)]
was present at less than 0.01 wt. %.

Performance of the synthesized compound as a crosslinker was assessed using spot tests on coating surfaces, based on procedures from the DIN 68861-1 standard. For these tests, 0.58 parts of the composition were mixed with 0.60 parts of Proglyde™ DMM (dipropylene glycol dimethyl ether, mixture of isomers) and incubated at 80° C. for 10 minutes under regular agitation. Subsequently, 0.79 parts of the resulting solution were added to 20 parts of NeoRez® R-1005 under continuous stirring, and the resulting mixture was further stirred for 30 minutes. Afterwards, this coating composition was filtered and applied to Leneta test cards using 100 μm wire rod applicators (Test 14-1). For reference, films were also cast from the same composition lacking a crosslinker (Test 14-2). The films were dried for 16 hours at 25° C., then annealed at 50° C. for 1 hour and further dried for 24 hours at 25° C. Subsequently, a piece of cotton wool was soaked in 1:1 EtOH:demineralized water and placed on the film for various timespans. After removal of the EtOH and 60 minutes recovery, the following results were obtained (a score of 1 indicates complete degradation of the film, 10 indicates no damage visible):
