To combat this disease, multiple efforts have been carried out internationally. In this article, we review our long-time effort in identifying the resistance genes and dissecting the resistance mechanisms by both forward and reverse genetics approaches in the last two decades. We present recent progress in resistance QTL identification, candidate functional gene discovery, marker-assisted improvement of FHB resistant varieties, and findings in investigating association of signal molecules, such as Ca^(++),SA, JA, and ET, with FHB response, with the assistance from rapidly growing genomics platforms. The information will be helpful for designing novel and efficient approaches to curb FHB.展开更多

Focus is placed on the relationship between the hardening structure andhumidity-resistance of the composite binder. The results show that the α-starch composite binder has goodhumidity-resistance due to its special complex structure. SEM observations illustrate that the composite binder consists ofreticular matrix and a ball- or lump-shaped reinforcement phase, and the specific property of the binding membrane withheterogeneous structure is affected by humidity to a small extent. Based on the analyses on the interplays of differentingredients in the binder at hardening, the structure model and hygroscopicity-resistant mechanisms of the hardeningcomposite binder were further proposed. Moreover, the reasons for good humidity-resistance of the composite binderbonded sand are well explained by the humidity-resistant mechanisms.展开更多
