For the first time a lid-free and charge-free inclusion complex with cucurbit[6]uril (CB[6]) has been isolated, the crystal structure is reported and the robust nature of the complex is demonstrated in the solid state while facile controlled release of the guest is achieved in solution.

The law of homologous series in variation has important significance for disclosing the potential hereditary variability plants. use studies cucurbit cropcollections, hybrid populations, mutants, and breeding lines made it possible to discover valuable previously unknown forms watermelon, muskmelon different squash species their practical breeding. For example, these are bushy short vine cultiv...

Fluorescent nitrogen and fluorine doped carbon dots (CDs) were prepared by a hydrothermal method using levofloxacin (LVFX) cucurbit[6]uril (Q[6]) as the sources, respectively.

This publication lists and describes common viruses spread in cucurbit crops by whiteflies. It includes strategies for managing whiteflies, most of them originally from a similar on whiteflies tomatoes.

Watermelon plants grafted onto rootstocks from squash or gourds were planted at Lane, Oklahoma. Weight, dimensions, and quality (SSC, firmness, lycopene content) of a seeded (Summer Flavor® 800) and a seedless (Summer Sweet® 5244) cultivar were measured. Watermelons from non-grafted plants weighed more than those from grafted plants. Fruit shape, determined by length, circumference, and their r...

Using cucurbit[6]uril as protecting agent, well-defined Pd NPs were prepared via a simple one-pot method under mild conditions. The CB[6]-Pd NPs are very stable and have high chemical activities for catalyzing Suzuki-Miyaura cross-coupling reactions.

A pseudo-polycation was prepared based on the supramolecular cucurbit[8]uril ternary complex. It was then layer-by-layer assembled with poly(acrylic acid) to fabricate a stimuli-responsive film, which exhibited disassembly properties in response to stimuli, providing a supramolecular route for the fabrication of free-standing thin films.

A general protocol based on spontaneous adsorption of cucurbit[n]uril (CB[n]) molecules through a strong multivalence interaction between CB[n] and gold is described, by which the formation of self-assembled CB[n] monolayers on gold surfaces can be efficiently achieved.

Analysis of an RNA-seq library from cucumber leaf RNA extracted from a fast technology for analysis of nucleic acids (FTA) card revealed the first complete genome of Cucurbit aphid-borne yellows virus (CABYV) from East Timor. We compare it with 35 complete CABYV genomes from other world regions. It most resembled the genome of the South Korean isolate HD118.
