In the present study, amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) was used Genetic differentiation to analyze the genetic differentiation and transmission routes of 26 RWW geographical populations from Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Guizhou and 6 other provinces in China. The genetic distance between the 26 populations ranged from 0 to Rice pest 0.693; the genetic distance between Guizhou and 6 other provinces populations varied from 0.043 to 0.693, with Spread pathway an average of 0.382. There was higher genetic variation among the populations from Guizhou and 6 other provinces compared with populations within Guizhou. The Mantel test showed no correlation between the ge- netic and geographical distances of the 26 populations. According to genetic distance, clustering, and time that RWW was found in these regions, we deduced that the pest entered Guizhou and spread in this province most likely via three routes: (1) from Hebei to Zunyi and southward to the south-central regions; (2) from Sichuan to Bijie and eastward to the central regions; and (3) from Yunnan through Anshun to the central regions and Qiandongnan prefecture. RWW spread in a natural manner, including flight, crawling, swimming, and by human-associated mechanisms, comprising dissemination through paddies and hay and hitchhiking on human transportations. The rice water weevil (RWW), Lissorhoptrus oryzophilus Kuschel identified as parthenogenic L. oryzophilus (Liu, 2010). In 2013, RWW (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), native to the Mississippi River Basin in the infested 24,140 ha of paddies in 971 villages, 125 towns, 26 counties United States, is now one of the most destructive rice insect pests in (districts, county-level cities), and 7 prefecture cities in Guizhou, China and is thus considered as a quarantine pest. The weevil was in- causing significant rice yield losses. L. oryziophlus is spread through itially recognized as a rice pest in Georgia in the early 1880s (Chen parthenogenesis, flight, swimming, and hitchhiking on human trans- et al., 2005; Isely and Schwardt, 1934). In the late 1950s, partheno- portations (Chen et al., 2005). genic RWW was observed in Northern California (Bowling, 1964; Lange L. oryzophilus is a semi-aquatic insect that undergoes complete and Grigarick, 1959). In 1976, parthenogenic RWW was detected in a metamorphosis, passing through four distinct developmental stages, paddy field in Aichi prefecture, Japan, and this pest was assumed to i.e., egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Adult weevils are omnivorous pests hitchhike with hay from California into Asia (Japan Plant Protection affecting many host plants, including 64 species in 10 families in China, Association, 1986; Saito et al., 2005). Subsequently, RWW spread to the and the larvae feed on 15 species in 5 families (Chen et al., 2005; Sun Korean peninsula and mainland China in 1988 and to Taiwan in 1990 et al., 1996). However, these weevils primarily feed on Gramineae and (Hirao, 1988; Shih, 1991; Sun et al., 1996). RWW was first detected in Cyperaceae, particularly rice plants (Lupi et al., 2009). Rice plants are Tanghai county, Hebei province, in May 1988 (Nagata, 1990; Sun et al., infected with both larval and adult RWW. Adult weevils chew the leaf 1996). Since then, RWW has expanded to most parts of China, such as epidermis, leaving skeletonized longitudinal scars on the upper surface the provinces of Liaoning, Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Anhui, Hunan, of the rice leaves. Most economic damage occurs through the larvae, as Jiangxi, and Guizhou. It is likely that the weevil is currently distributed these organisms feed in or on rice roots, resulting in root pruning. through mainland China, except for Xinjiang and Tibet.

    5 May 2017 Elizabeth Harris Principal Advisor ASX Listing Compliance Level 40, Central Park 152-158 St Georges Terrace PERTH WA 6000 Dear Ms Harris ASX Query: Ding Sheng Xin Finance Co. Limited We refer to your letter dated 24 April 2017 in which you have sought a response from the Company in relation to questions raised by the ASX regarding judgements made involving the Company’s subsidiary (“PRC DSX”) in the People’s Republic of China. In response to ASX’s queries, the Company advises as follows: 1. It is a natural consequence of the nature of PRC DSX business, being guaranteeing the repayment of loans and other specific performances, that it will be involved in legal processes. Where lenders seek recovery of loans following any default of the performance of borrowers, and that borrower is a client of PRC DSX and their repayment obligations are guaranteed by PRC DSX, PRC DSX will be named in the relevant legal processes. Accordingly, PRC DSX has been and is likely to continue to be a party to legal processes and by extension to have judgements made against it in its capacity as guarantor. PRC DSX processes are such that if a client defaults and a judgement is made against that client, and by extension PRC DSX, PRC DSX then seeks to renegotiate the terms of the obligation on behalf of the client. If that process is successful the judgement is no longer relevant and is withdrawn, however if that process is not successful PRC DSX makes the payments on behalf of the client and proceeds to seek recovery from the client.

  • Catalytic Asymmetric Acetalization of Carboxylic Acids for Access to Chiral Phthalidyl Ester Prodrugs
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-019-09445-x OPEN Catalytic asymmetric acetalization of carboxylic acids for access to chiral phthalidyl ester prodrugs Yingguo Liu 1, Qiao Chen1, Chengli Mou2, Lutai Pan2, Xiaoyong Duan1, Xingkuan Chen1, Hongzhong Chen1, Yanli Zhao 1, Yunpeng Lu1, Zhichao Jin3 & Yonggui Robin Chi1,3 Carboxylic acids are common moieties in medicines. They can be converted to phthalidyl esters as prodrugs. Unfortunately, phthalidyl esters are now mostly prepared in racemic 1234567890():,; forms. This is not desirable because the two enantiomers of phthalidyl esters likely have different pharmacological effects. Here we address the synthetic challenges in enantiose- lective modification of carboxylic acids via asymmetric acetalizations. The key reaction step involves asymmetric addition of a carboxylic acid to the catalyst-bound intermediate. This addition step enantioselectively constructs a chiral acetal unit that lead to optically enriched phthalidyl esters. A broad range of carboxylic acids react effectively under mild and transition metal-free conditions. Preliminary bioactivity studies show that the two enantiomers of chlorambucil phthalidyl esters exhibit different anti-cancer activities to inhibit the growth of Hela cells. Our catalytic strategy of asymmetric acetalizations of carboxylic acids shall benefit future development of chiral phthalidyl ester prodrugs and related molecules. 1 Division of Chemistry & Biological Chemistry, School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore 637371, Singapore. 2 School of Pharmacy, Guiyang University of Chinese Medicine, Huaxi District, Guiyang 550025, China. 3 Laboratory Breeding Base of Green Pesticide and Agricultural Bioengineering, Key Laboratory of Green Pesticide and Agricultural Bioengineering, Ministry of Education, Guizhou University, Huaxi District, Guiyang 550025, China.

Guizhou is a key tourist province in China. In recent years, the number of A-level scenic spots in Guizhou Province has been increasing, and the regional tourist economy has improved rapidly. The spatial distribution evolution characteristics and influencing factors of A-level scenic spots in Guizhou Province from 2005 to 2019 were measured using spatial data analysis methods, trend analysis methods, and geographical detector methods. The results elaborated that the number of A-level scenic spots in all counties of Guizhou Province increased, while in the south it developed slowly. From 2005 to 2019, the spatial distribution in A-level scenic spots were characterized by spatial agglomeration. The spatial distribution equilibrium degree Citation: Qiu, Y.; Yin, J.; Zhang, T.; of scenic spots in nine cities in Guizhou Province was gradually developed to reach the “relatively Du, Y.; Zhang, B.
