Strigolactones in Sugarcane Growth and Development
Agronomy, 2023 Sugarcane is a complex polyploid aneuploid cash crop, and transgenic varieties are important for molecular genetic and traditional breeding approaches. Herein, the sugarcane variety ROC22 served as the receptor, the Bar gene served as a screening marker,

Is it the end of TILLING era in plant science?
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2023 Since its introduction in 2000, the TILLING strategy has been widely used in plant research to create novel genetic diversity. TILLING is based on chemical or physical mutagenesis followed by the rapid identification of mutations within genes of interest.

The Bond Strength Behavior of Polymer-modified Mortars During a Wetting and Drying Process [PDF]
Materials Research, 2015 Polymer-modified mortars are highly popular for setting exterior tile systems and low-porosity ceramic tiles because they possess greater flexibility and higher bond strengths than conventional mortars which increases cladding serviceability.
