Seed dormancy controls germination and plays a critical role in regulating the beginning of the life cycle of plants.Seed dormancy is established and maintained during seed maturation and is gradually broken during dry storage (after-ripening).The plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA) and DELAY OF GERMINATION1 (DOG1) protein are essential regulators of
In recent years, the larval stage of Hermetia illucens, commonly known as the black soldier fly (BSFL), has been used to promote the circularity of the agri-food sector by bioconverting organic waste into larval biomass which has been used as a livestock feed.A secondary byproduct of this process is frass that can be used as an organic fertilizer.T

This paper presents a novel design for uplift piles incorporating a composite-anchor system.The composite-anchor system consists of steel strands, a non-expansion grouting body, and a high-strength steel pile.The aim of this design is to enhance the mechanical performance, durability, and economic efficiency of uplift piles.To evaluate the performa
