The Effect of Replacing Peat with Sugarcane Bagasse on the Growth of Cut Flowers and Bulbs of Lily

Horticulturae
In order to evaluate the feasibility of using sugarcane bagasse (SCB) as a substitute for peat in lily cultivation, this study examines the effects of replacing different amounts of peat (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) with SCB on the physical and chemical

Tough, Ductile, and Strong Hard‐Soft Cementitious Composite Enabled by Multi‐Material Additive Manufacturing

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Drawing inspiration from the layered hard‐soft architecture found in sea sponges, this work establishes a new framework for architected cementitious composites (ACC) through multi‐material additive manufacturing (MMAM) process. The integration of mortar and elastomer phases into layered architectures enables synergistic toughening mechanisms, including

Determination of internal controls for quantitative gene expression of Spodoptera litura under microbial pesticide stress

Scientific Reports
Quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) has become a commonly used method for the quantification of gene expression. However, accurate qRT-PCR analysis requires a valid internal reference for data normalization.

Temporal transcriptome and metabolome study revealed molecular mechanisms underlying rose responses to red spider mite infestation and predatory mite antagonism

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionRed spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) infestation (SMI) is a detrimental factor for roses grown indoors. Although predatory mite (Neoseiulus californicus) antagonism (PMA) is often utilized to alleviate SMI damage, little is known about the ...

A Flower Sanctuary [PDF]

Nature, 1912
I BEG to thank Mr. Perrycoste for his letter in NATURE of September 19. The county of Somerset has for some time had a by-law similar to that of the county of Cornwall; but you will observe that the by-law does not justify the protection of any particular plant, and that the special flora of Cheddar might easily disappear without any violation of its ...
