Here, we characterize the role of the rice transcription factor (TF) SALT-RESPONSIVE ERF1 (SERF1) during grain development. Through genome-wide expression profiling and chromatin immunoprecipitation, we found that SERF1 directly regulates RICE PROLAMIN-BOX BINDING FACTOR (RPBF), a TF that functions as a positive regulator of grain filling. Loss of SERF1 enhances RPBF expression resulting in larger grains with increased starch content, while SERF1 overexpression represses RPBF resulting in smaller grains. Consistently, during grain filling, starch biosynthesis genes such as GRANULE-BOUND STARCH SYNTHASEI (GBSSI), STARCH SYNTHASEI (SSI), SSIIIa, and ADP-GLUCOSE PYROPHOSPHORYLASE LARGE SUBUNIT2 (AGPL2) are up-regulated in SERF1 knockout grains. Moreover, SERF1 is a direct upstream regulator of GBSSI. In addition, SERF1 negatively regulates germination by controlling RPBF expression, which mediates the gibberellic acid (GA)-induced expression of RICE AMYLASE1A (RAmy1A). Loss of SERF1 results in more rapid seedling establishment, while SERF1 overexpression has the opposite effect. Our study reveals that SERF1 represents a negative regulator of grain filling and seedling establishment by timing the expression of RPBF.}, language = {en} } @article{BeckerGeigerDunkeletal.2004, author = {Becker, Dirk and Geiger, D. and Dunkel, M. and Roller, A. and Bertl, Adam and Latz, A. and Carpaneto, Armando and Dietrich, Peter and Roelfsema, M.

In contrast to the Shaker-like Arabidopsis channels (six transmembrane domains/one pore region), the functional properties and the biological role of plant TPK channels have not been elucidated yet. Here, we show that AtTPK4 (KCO4) localizes to the plasma membrane and is predominantly expressed in pollen. AtTPK4 (KCO4) resembles the electrical properties of a voltage-independent K+ channel after expression in Xenopus oocytes and yeast. Hyperpolarizing as well as depolarizing membrane voltages elicited instantaneous K+ currents, which were blocked by extracellular calcium and cytoplasmic protons. Functional complementation assays using a K+ transport-deficient yeast confirmed the biophysical and pharmacological properties of the AtTPK4 channel. The features of AtTPK4 point toward a role in potassium homeostasis and membrane voltage control of the growing pollen tube. Thus, AtTPK4 represents a member of plant tandem-pore-K+ channels, resembling the characteristics of its animal counterparts as well as plant-specific features with respect to modulation of channel activity by acidosis and calcium}, language = {en} } @article{SandSchmidt2021, author = {Sand, Patrick and Schmidt, Bernd}, title = {Ruthenium-catalyzed sulfoalkenylation of acetanilides and dual-use of the catalyst directing group}, series = {European journal of organic chemistry}, volume = {2021}, journal = {European journal of organic chemistry}, number = {40}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1434-193X}, doi = {10.1002/ejoc.202101216}, pages = {5497 -- 5506}, year = {2021}, abstract = {In contrast to vinylsulfonates and vinylsulfones, vinylsulfonamides are unreactive in Pd-catalyzed oxidative Heck-coupling reactions with acetanilides.

Overall, the Ru-Cu-Ag-catalyzed conditions turned out to be more reliable and showed better reproducibility than the Pd-catalyzed C-H-activation. The coupling products thus obtained are functionalized styrenyl sulfones and -sulfonamides which can be used as starting materials for the synthesis of sulfonyl pyrroles and sulfonyl pyrrolo[2,3-c]quinolines.}, language = {en} } @article{GoebelStoltenbergKrehletal.2016, author = {G{\"o}bel, Ronald and Stoltenberg, Marcus and Krehl, Stefan and Biolley, Christine and Rothe, Regina and Schmidt, Bernd and Hesemann, Peter and Taubert, Andreas}, title = {A Modular Approach towards Mesoporous Silica Monoliths with Organically Modified Pore Walls: Nucleophilic Addition, Olefin Metathesis, and Cycloaddition}, series = {European journal of inorganic chemistry : a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe}, volume = {6}, journal = {European journal of inorganic chemistry : a journal of ChemPubSoc Europe}, publisher = {Wiley-VCH}, address = {Weinheim}, issn = {1434-1948}, doi = {10.1002/ejic.201500638}, pages = {2088 -- 2099}, year = {2016}, abstract = {We have synthesized mesoporous silica (monoliths) with defined surface chemistry by means of a number of addition reactions: (i) coupling of an isocyanate to a surface-immobilized thiol, (ii) addition of an epoxide to a surface-immobilized thiol, (iii) cross-metathesis between two olefins, and (iv) Huisgen [2+3] cycloaddition of an alkyne-functionalized silica monolith with an azide. Functionalization of the mesopores was observed, but there are significant differences between individual approaches. Isocyanate and epoxide additions lead to high degrees of functionalization, whereas olefin metathesis and [2+3] cycloaddition are less effective.

Most designs however concentrate on plasmon-induced charge separation, leaving photo-generated heat as a side product. This work presents a photoreactor based on Au-Pd nanorods with an optimized photothermal conversion, which aims to effectively utilize the photo-generated heat to increase the rate of Pd-catalyzed reactions. Dumbbell-shaped Au nanorods were fabricated via a seed-mediated growth method using binary surfactants. Pd clusters were selectively grown at the tips of the Au nanorods, using the zeta potential as a new synthetic parameter to indicate the surfactant remaining on the nanorod surface. The photothermal conversion of the Au-Pd nanorods was improved with a thin layer of polydopamine (PDA) or TiO2. As a result, a 60\% higher temperature increment of the dispersion compared to that for bare Au rods at the same light intensity and particle density could be achieved. The catalytic performance of the coated particles was then tested using the reduction of 4-nitrophenol as the model reaction. Under light, the PDA-coated Au-Pd nanorods exhibited an improved catalytic activity, increasing the reaction rate by a factor 3. An analysis of the activation energy confirmed the photoheating effect to be the dominant mechanism accelerating the reaction. Thus, the increased photothermal heating is responsible for the reaction acceleration. Interestingly, the same analysis shows a roughly 10\% higher reaction rate for particles under illumination compared to under dark heating, possibly implying a crucial role of localized heat gradients at the particle surface. Finally, the coating thickness was identified as an essential parameter determining the photothermal conversion efficiency and the reaction acceleration.}, language = {en} } @misc{LohwasserMusilvanKempenetal.2019, author = {Lohwaßer, Roswitha and Musil, Andreas and van Kempen, Britta and Schubarth, Wilfried and Wendland, Mirko and Burchard, Daniel and Reimann, Margit and Pohlmann, Markus and Mauermeister, Sylvi and Fenn, Monika and Schmidt, Bernd and Lukowski, Sarah and Borowski, Andreas}, title = {Kentron : Journal zur Lehrerbildung = UPgrade Lehrerbildung}, number = {33}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}t Potsdam, Zentrum f{\"u}r Lehrerbildung}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {1867-4720}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-59040}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-590400}, pages = {39}, year = {2019}, language = {de} } @inproceedings{KurbelNowakAzodietal.2015, author = {Kurbel, Karl and Nowak, Dawid and Azodi, Amir and Jaeger, David and Meinel, Christoph and Cheng, Feng and Sapegin, Andrey and Gawron, Marian and Morelli, Frank and Stahl, Lukas and Kerl, Stefan and Janz, Mariska and Hadaya, Abdulmasih and Ivanov, Ivaylo and Wiese, Lena and Neves, Mariana and Schapranow, Matthieu-Patrick and F{\"a}hnrich, Cindy and Feinbube, Frank and Eberhardt, Felix and Hagen, Wieland and Plauth, Max and Herscheid, Lena and Polze, Andreas and Barkowsky, Matthias and Dinger, Henriette and Faber, Lukas and Montenegro, Felix and Czach{\´o}rski, Tadeusz and Nycz, Monika and Nycz, Tomasz and Baader, Galina and Besner, Veronika and Hecht, Sonja and Schermann, Michael and Krcmar, Helmut and Wiradarma, Timur Pratama and Hentschel, Christian and Sack, Harald and Abramowicz, Witold and Sokolowska, Wioletta and Hossa, Tymoteusz and Opalka, Jakub and Fabisz, Karol and Kubaczyk, Mateusz and Cmil, Milena and Meng, Tianhui and Dadashnia, Sharam and Niesen, Tim and Fettke, Peter and Loos, Peter and Perscheid, Cindy and Schwarz, Christian and Schmidt, Christopher and Scholz, Matthias and Bock, Nikolai and Piller, Gunther and B{\"o}hm, Klaus and Norkus, Oliver and Clark, Brian and Friedrich, Bj{\"o}rn and Izadpanah, Babak and Merkel, Florian and Schweer, Ilias and Zimak, Alexander and Sauer, J{\"u}rgen and Fabian, Benjamin and Tilch, Georg and M{\"u}ller, David and Pl{\"o}ger, Sabrina and Friedrich, Christoph M. and Engels, Christoph and Amirkhanyan, Aragats and van der Walt, Est{\´e}e and Eloff, J.

The products, arylidene-beta-lactams, were obtained in high yields as single isomers. The beta-hydride elimination step of the Pd-catalyzed coupling reaction proceeds with high exo-regioselectivity and E-stereoselectivity. With aryl iodides, triflates, or bromides, the coupling products were isolated only in low yields, due to extensive decomposition of the starting material at elevated temperatures.
