Investigation into the addition of minor grain boundary strengthening elements (C, Hf and B) on the properties of an experimented single crystal nickel superalloy has been undertaken.
One limited area of research is the role of other staple carbohydrate sources, such as roots and tubers and minor (ancient) grains on biomarkers of diabetes and diabetes risk.
Trotter, is a major food grain in Ethiopia but is a minor cereal crop worldwide.
Since type III was a minor deformed grain in the as-rolled Cu-added BH steel, the recrystallization in types I and II was identified as the principal feature determining the overall recrystallization phenomena of Cu-added BH steel.
Carpenter ants, one of the species studied by the team, have elaborate social structures, with queens (bullet-size, fertile, winged), majors (bean-size soldiers who guard the colony but rarely leave it), and minors (nimble, grain-size, perpetually moving foragers).
Compared with the grain size of R498, the grain length and width of NIL-GS3 R3551 was decreased by 11.5%, and increased 1.4%, respectively (Fig. 5a, b, d, e, Additional file 1: Figure S13B, C), consistent with the role of GS3 as a major QTL for grain length and a minor QTL for grain width (Fan et al. 2006).
GS3, which is reported as a major QTL for grain length and weight and a minor QTL for grain width and thickness in rice, encodes a putative transmembrane protein.
GS3 is a major QTL for grain length and weight and a minor QTL for grain width and thickness [ 5].
GRAIN SIZE 3 (GS3) encodes a putative transmembrane protein which has major impacts on grain length and weight as well as minor impacts on grain width and thickness in rice (Fan et al., 2006; Zhang et al., 2014).
Several observations support the conclusion that little Cd is exported from the leaves during grain filling and, as a result, leaf Cd pools are minor contributors to grain Cd accumulation.
