Alfalfa mosaic virus (AMV) is one of the most widely distributed viruses. It often exhibits combined infection with white clover mosaic virus (WCMV) and occurs with a synergistic effect at 3:1 (AMV: WCMV). This study sought to clarify whether this synergistic effect is related to the molecular mutat...

We theoretically propose a wide-angle, polarization-independent, and broadband nearly perfect absorber, which consists of an array of concentric multisplit circular rings on top of dielectric spacer and a metallic mirror. The numerical simulation results show that the average absorption reaches 97.2...

Nonhost resistance is a phenomenon that enables plants to protect themselves against the majority of potential pathogens, and thus has a great potential for application in plant protection. We recently found that CfHNNI1 (for Cladosporium fulvum host and nonhost plant necrosis inducer 1) is an induc...

To address the issue of poor film–soil separation in traditional subsoil residual film recovery machines, which leads to recovered film containing excessive soil, a film–soil conveying and separation device was designed. By establishing a mechanical model for the balanced conveyance of the film–soil...
