INTEGRATED TRANSCRIPTOMIC AND METABOLOMIC ANALYSES PROVIDE INSIGHTS INTO THE RESPONSE OF TOBACCO AXILLARY BUDS TO EXOGENOUS STRIGOLACTONE

Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses provide insights into the response of tobacco axillary buds to exogenous strigolactone

Strigolactones (SL) are crucial plant hormones that regulate plant growth.We investigated genetic and metabolic changes in tobacco axillary flower buds following application of GR24 (SL synthetic analogue), administered 2 and 6 days later.The results indicated that GR24 effectively inhibited the growth of axillary buds.RNA sequencing revealed 1 781

Influence of Sorbent Characteristics on Fouling and Deposition in Circulating Fluid Bed Boilers Firing High Sulfur Indian Lignite

Charcoal Supplements 125 MWe circulating fluidized bed combustion (CFBC) boiler experienced severe fouling in backpass of the boiler leading to obstruction of gas flow passage, while using high sulfur lignite with sorbent, calcium carbonate, to capture sulfur dioxide.Optical microscopy of the hard deposits showed mainly anhydrite (CaSO4) and absenc

Reactive distillation process using a solid-solid reaction for the separation of strontium from spent nuclear fuel

The separation of high-heat-generating isotopes of Sr from spent nuclear fuel is a significant research area in nuclear waste management.To separate Sr from spent nuclear fuel, the chlorination method using MgCl2 is known to be very effective.Then, the separated Sr must be oxidized for the solidification process, for example by oxidation using K2CO
