A simple strategy for fabrication of an FCC-based complex concentrated alloy coating with hierarchical nanoprecipitates and enhanced mechanical properties

An increasing number MINT of recent studies have indicated that the best balance of mechanical properties of a high-entropy alloy (HEA) needed to meet the requirements of practical structural applications require to produce second precipitates in an HEA matrix.This type of alloy is more appropriately classified as a complex concentrated alloy (CCA)

A small knottin-like peptide negatively regulates in wheat to stripe rust resistance during early infection of wheat

Although Blufensins (Bln) have important functions in the response of plants to biotic stress the precise functioning of Bln in wheat remains largely unknown.Here we isolated a Bln gene (TaBln4) from Suwon 11 infected by Puccinia striiformis f.sp.tritici (Pst).Expression of TaBln4 EZEKIEL BREAD LOW SODIUM increased in host plants at the early stage
