Experiment on the bract stripping and crushing device of a corn harvester.
In order to study the mechanism of bract peeling and crushing of a corn harvester, a bract stripping and crushing device was designed that mainly consists of a stripping device, a crushing device, and a frame. The kinematics and dynamics of the roller of

Abstract Foliar-bract calcium (Ca) sprays and fertilization practices that altered Ca availability and supply were evaluated for their effect on marginal bract necrosis incidences of ‘Gutbier V-14 Glory’ poinsettia (Euphorbia pulcherrima Willd.). About 90% fewer marginal necrotic lesions were observed on plants receiving an 81% NO3-N and 903-ppm Ca ...

Abstract Premise Detecting clear tissue‐ and organ‐specific patterns of gene expression is key to understanding the genetic mechanisms that control plant development. In situ hybridization (ISH) of mRNA is one of the most precise, yet most challenging approaches to gene expression assays.

Journey of water in pine cones [PDF]
Pine cones fold their scales when it rains to prevent seeds from short-distance dispersal. Given that the scales of pine cones consist of nothing but dead cells, this folding motion is evidently related to structural changes.

Abstract Premise As the sister clade to angiosperms, extant gymnosperms are crucial for reconstructing ancestral gene regulatory networks in seed plants. This highlights the need for model systems representing each of their distinct lineages. However, tools to quickly and effectively investigate gene function in gymnosperms are still limited due to the
