  • Publication number: 20260117238
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for boosting genetic transformation efficiency of wheat using an Agrobacterium-mediated method, which belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering technology. A TaHRF2 gene and an encoded protein thereof used in the present disclosure can promote introduction of a nucleic acid molecule into a plant of interest and boost genetic transformation efficiency of the introduction of the nucleic acid molecule into the plant of interest. The plant of interest includes, but is not limited to, monocotyledonous plants such as wheat. By introducing a TaHRF2 gene high-expression vector into an Agrobacterium strain, and infecting a wheat explant using an Agrobacterium-mediated method, genetic transformation capacities of backbone parents such as Beijing 8 and Lumai 1 are enhanced, providing important information and fundamental technical support for the establishment of an efficient genetic transformation system for major wheat cultivars with difficulty in regeneration.

  • Publication number: 20260117239
    Abstract: Disclosed is a gene for boosting genetic transformation efficiency of wheat and use thereof, which belongs to the field of plant genetic engineering technology. The use of a TaHRF1 gene and an encoded protein thereof can promote integration of an exogenous nucleic acid molecule into a genome of a plant of interest, and boost efficiency of the integration of the nucleic acid molecule, and the transformed plant grows and develops normally. The plant of interest includes, but is not limited to, monocotyledonous plants such as wheat. The present disclosure provides a new and important genetic resource for overcoming the genotype dependence in genetic transformation of wheat.

  • Patent number: 12420055
    Abstract: A method of preparing a urinary catheter having a balloon of three cavities at a top end thereof includes: step 1, preparing a catheter having one urinary guiding cavity and three water injection cavities, cutting two ends of the catheter to be flat; step 2, cutting from a top end of the catheter having the four cavities from the catheter longitudinally to form three separated catheters, each having one second cavity, closing a top end of each of the three catheters; step 3, hot-pressing the three catheters by placing the three catheters in a steel plate for 40° C. to 60° C. and 5 min to 15 min at 5 kg to 7.5 kg, trimming the outer wall of the catheters; step 4, connecting top ends of the catheters to each other, taking a guide thread to pass through the urinary guiding cavity to be connected to the top ends of the catheters.

  • Publication number: 20240356225
    Abstract: An electronic device may be provided with a phased antenna array with antennas on an antenna module. The module may include a primary substrate and a secondary substrate mounted to the primary substrate by an interconnect. An antenna may include patch elements in the primary substrate and patch elements in the secondary substrate that are fed using conductive vias. Fences of conductive vias may couple the patch elements in the primary substrate to ground to isolate the patch elements in the primary substrate from the patch elements in the secondary substrate. The secondary substrate may be smaller than the primary substrate, allowing the secondary substrate to fit into relatively small portions of the electronic device while locating the patch elements in the secondary substrates closer to free space, thereby maximizing antenna performance.

  • Patent number: 12074077
    Abstract: Flexible packages and electronic devices with integrated flexible packages are described. In an embodiment, a flexibly package includes a first die and a second die encapsulated in a molding compound layer. A compliant redistribution layer (RDL) spans the molding compound layer and both dies, and includes electrical routing formed directly on landing pads of the dies. A notch is formed in the molding compound layer between the dies to facilitate flexure of the compliant RDL.
