  • Publication number: 20240274405
    Abstract: An insulator for an ion implantation source may provide electrical insulation between high voltage components and relatively lower voltage components of the ion implantation source. To reduce the likelihood of and/or prevent a leakage path forming along the insulator, the insulator may include an internal cavity having a back and forth pattern. The back and forth pattern of the internal cavity increases the mean free path of gas molecules in the ion implantation source and increases the surface area of the insulator that is not directly or outwardly exposed to the gas molecules. This results in a continuous film or coating being more difficult and/or less likely to form along the insulator, which extends the working time of the ion implantation source.

  • Publication number: 20240209388
    Abstract: Provided are an expression vector of glyphosate-resistant genes GR79 and GAT, a high glyphosate-resistant corn, and a detection method therefor. The codons of the GR79 gene and GAT gene which have high tolerance to glyphosate are optimized and new DNA sequences are synthesized; meanwhile, a dual-gene plant expression vector pCGG is constructed. Results show that a transgenic corn transformed with the plant expression vector has high resistance to target herbicide glyphosate. The transgenic corn GG2 is a transformation event having a significant glyphosate tolerance effect, and a left border flanking sequence and a right border flanking sequence thereof are obtained by means of a chromosome walking method. The border sequences at two ends can be used as specific detection sequences for the present transformation event. Primers designed on the basis of the two border sequences can specifically detect the transgenic event GG2 and be applied to the development of a detection kit.
