Originals Western Boot Water soluble carbohydrates (WSC) in stems play an important role in buffering grain yield in wheat against biotic and abiotic stresses; however, knowledge of genes controlling WSC is very limited.We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) using a high-density 90K SNP array to better understand the genetic basis unde
In recent years, prestressed pipe piles have been widely used in the reinforcement of soft soil foundation, and there will be obvious soil squeezing effect in the Jump Starters construction of pipe piles.However, the research on the soil squeezing effect of pipe piles under various influencing factors is not clear, and it is difficult to guide the
