The effect of combined nano materials on mechanical properties of high-volume fly ash mortar (HVFAM) was carried out in this investigation.The characteristics of HVFAM mixes were first evaluated using slump flow tests.Then, the mechanical properties of HVFAM including the measurement of setting time and the development of early-age compressive stre
Rice seed storage protein (SSP) is an important source of nutrition and energy.Understanding the genetic basis of SSP content and mining favorable alleles that control it will be helpful for breeding new improved cultivars.An association analysis for SSP content was performed to identify underlying genes using 527 diverse Oryza sativa accessions gr
Abstract Background Hemocytes are immune cells that patrol the mosquito hemocoel and mediate critical cellular defense responses against pathogens.However, despite their importance, a comprehensive transcriptome of these cells was lacking because they constitute a very small fraction of the total cells in the insect, limiting the study of hemocyte
