Multiple shoots were induced through axillary bud formation. The highest fre- quency of multiple shoot induction was achieved when the nodal segment explants were incubated in Murashige and Skoog （MS） medium supplemented with 4.44 pM 6-benzyladenine （6-BA） in combination with 0.54 μM a-naphthaleneacetic acid （NAA）, followed by treatment with 4.44 μM 6-BA in combination with 0.27 μM NAA. Shoot multiplication could be induced in MS medium supplemented with stand-alone 6-BA or 6-BA in combination with indole-3-acetic acid （1.71 μM） or NAA （0.27 or 0.54 μM）, with 6-BA and either compound, exhibiting a stronger effect on shoot multiplication. The optimum combination of plant growth regulators for shoot multiplication was 4.44 μM 6-BA with 0.27 μM NAA. The maximum rooting percentage was obtained in a half-strength MS medium supplemented with indole-3-butyric acid alone and in com- bination with NAA and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, but the best combination of plant growth regulators for rooting was 1.48 μM indole-3-butyric acid with 1.08 μM NAA and 0.05 μM 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. The rooted shoots were trans- ferred to a greenhouse with a success rate of 100%.展开更多

The formulations of dis- persion relation are explicitly derived for both strain gradi- ent beam models, and presented for different material length scale parameters （MLSPs）. For both phenomenological size- dependent beam models, the angular frequency, phase veloc- ity and group velocity increase with increasing wave num- ber. However, the velocity ratios approach different values for different beam models, indicating an interesting behavior of the asymptotic velocity ratio.

This study conducts Monte Carlo simulations of water flow through DFNs to identify non-Darcian flow and non-Fickian pressure propagation in field-scale DFNs, by adjusting fracture density, matrix hydraulic conductivity, and the general hydraulic gradient. Numerical simulations and analyses show that interactions of the fracture architecture with the hydraulic gradient affect non-Darcian flow in DFNs, by generating and adjusting complex pathways for water. The fracture density affects significantly the propagation of hydraulic head/pressure in the DFN, likely due to fracture connectivity and flow channeling. The non-Darcian flow pattern may not be directly correlated to the non-Fickian pressure propagation process in the regional-scale DFNs, because they refer to different states of water flow and their controlling factors may not be the same. Findings of this study improve our understanding of the nature of flow in DFNs.展开更多
