Beyond The Fiber: Novel Spider Silk Coatings And Adhesives, Danielle A. Gaztambide, Breton A. Day
Research on Capitol Hill
Natural spider silks have long been recognized for their combination of incredible strength and elasticity. Spider silk is more elastic than nylon, tougher than Kevlar, and stronger than steel by weight. Due to an inability to farm spiders, much work has been done to produce spider silks in transgenic hosts for large -scale production. Our work was done using recombinant spider silk proteins produced in transgenic goats and the bacteria E. coli.
More recently spider silks have also been recognized for their biocompatibility and lack of immunogenicity. Spider silks' incredible strength and ability to be implanted safely within the body …
Insecticides Are Not Always The Answer For Combatting Pests In Onion Fields, Harlie Hutchinson
Insecticides Are Not Always The Answer For Combatting Pests In Onion Fields, Harlie Hutchinson
Research on Capitol Hill
Onion thrips are the insect vector of a severe virus in onion, Iris yellow spot virus. The thrips and virus are primary threats to the economic stability of onion production worldwide. Overuse of insecticides to suppress onion thrips has resulted in the development of resistance, reduced performance of insecticides, and reduced onion yields.
There is a compelling desire to find alternatives to better manage these pests. In this study, we assessed onion thrips populations on onions with low and high nitrogen rates, and near and far from corn and wheat, two common neighboring crops in the onion farm-scape.
Water Use Of Kentucky Bluegrass Varieties, Shawn Foster
Water Use Of Kentucky Bluegrass Varieties, Shawn Foster
Research on Capitol Hill
- With drought so prevalent in the West, water use on urban landscapes is being closely scrutinized with up to 60% of urban water use directed to landscape irrigation-primarily our lawns.
- Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) is widely used because of its soft texture, attractive color, and ability to recover from intensive use.
- More water-efficient varieties of Kentucky bluegrass may result in less irrigation yet maintain quality and function of the turf.
