An overview of pigment gland morphogenesis and its regulatory mechanism

Cotton has enormous economic potential,providing high-quality protein,oil,and fibre.But the comprehensive utilization of cottonseed is limited by the presence of pigment gland and its inclusion.Pigment gland is a common characteristic of Gossypium genus and its relatives,appearing as visible dark opaque dots in most tissues and organs of cotton plants.Secondary metabolites,such as gossypol,synthesized and stored in the cavities of pigment glands act as natural phytoalexins,but are toxic to humans and other monogastric animals.However,only a few cotton genes have been identified as being associated with pigment gland morphogenesis to date,and the developmental processes and regulatory mechanism involved in pigment gland formation remain largely unclear.Here,the research progress on the process of pigment gland morphogenesis and the genetic basis of cotton pigment glands is reviewed,for providing a theoretical basis for cultivating cotton with the ideal pigment gland trait.

低温高压自密封球阀研究设计

基于大口径高压球阀研究的不足,考虑到在-196℃低温、25 MPa及以上高压下的密封性能及安全性,研究设计出一种自密封式球阀。该自密封式结构通过在阀体中腔增加密封环、四开环等部件,增设了承压点和密封点,不仅有效降低螺栓所需预紧力,同时进一步借助介质压力增强密封性能。结合理论力学计算和有限元模拟的方法,对该自密封结构的可靠性进行了对比分析,发现两种分析方法得出结果基本一致。
