The diversifi cation and evolution of fl oral traits are driven by both biotic and abiotic agents.The most well-studied agent is rain,which can wash away pollen grains,reduce pollen viability and dilute nectar thus af...
The ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation can affect gene expression of plant in growth and development. Winter wheat (Triticum aestivum), as a kind of economic crop cultured in the Northern China, is also damaged by present...
Wheat (Triticum aestivum), as a kind of important economic crop cultured in the Northern China, is affected by present-day enhanced ultraviolet-B (UV-B) radiation. To get the information of the impact by UV-B radiatio...
A conceptual mathematical model was used to evaluate the design parameters of a combined ultraviolet (UV)-biofilter system, and perform a cost analysis. Results showed that the UV light source strength and the gas r...
