Disclosed is a method for extracting dihydro quercetin from larch. The invention is an improved production method. Due to different production materials and extraction processes, the dihydro quercetin products in U.S. and European markets are very expensive, at a price of 200-1000 euros per gram. Such a high market price economically limits the wide range of practicability of dihydro quercetin products. During the pretreatment of raw materials, 50 kilograms of larch wood chips and 500-800 liters of 50% ethanol solution are added into a reactor to get fully stirred and mixed; then the mixture is extracted and filtered for the second extraction; the filtrates are combined and adsorbed; the organic solvents are collected and dried by a vacuum evaporator through organic phase vacuum distillation; according to a weight proportion of 10:1, the residues are dissolved with hot water, decolorized with activated carbon and then crystallized at a temperature of 3-5 DEG C to precipitate the dihydro quercetin product which is then crushed after vacuum drying to finished product. The invention is used to extract dihydro quercetin from larch.

The invention relates to and aims at providing a rice RING finge family E3 ubiquitin ligase OsDHS gene as well as an encoding protein and application thereof. The nucleotide sequence of the OsDHS gene is represented by SEQ ID NO:1 in a sequence table. The amino acid sequence of the encoding protein is represented by SEQ ID NO:2. By carrying out overexpression or knockout on the OsDHS gene in rice, a series of experiments prove that OsDHS gene overexpressed transgenic rice is super-sensitive to drought, and epicuticular wax is seriously lacked; otherwise, a dhs mutant presents that the drought resistance is enhanced. According to the OsDHS gene, by adjusting and controlling the synthesis of the epicuticular wax of the rice, the response of plants to drought stress is adjusted and controlled.

A passive, hydrodynamic technique implemented using a microfluidic device to perform co-encapsulation of samples in droplets and sorting of said droplets is described herein. The hydrodynamic technique utilizes laminar flows and high shear liquid-liquid interfaces at a microfluidic junction to encapsulate samples in the droplets. A sorting mechanism is implemented to separate sample droplets from empty droplets. This technique can achieve a one-one-one encapsulation efficiency of about 80% and can significantly improve the droplet sequencing and related applications in single cell genomics and proteomics.
