The result indicated the exogenous auxins improved the production and quality of microtubers of potatoes. The effect of induction can be described as CCC > CCC + 6-BA > 6-BA > CK, the number of microtubers in per flask is 8.17 > 7.67 > 7.29 > 5.46, and the number of large potatoes in per flask is 6.33 > 5.17 > 3.17 > 1. In addition, by adding 0.5‰ of active charcoal, the growth period was shortened from 25.0 days to 9.33 days on average, and the amount of larger potatoes increased 8.54%. These results benefited the growth of microtubers of potato.展开更多

Titanium dioxide, which is a component of the prepared hydroxyl acrylic resin polyurethane varnish, was partially substituted by wollastonite, and an optimal substitution ratio was obtained. Analyses based on scanning electron microscope, powder X-ray diffraction, and Raman scattering measurements demonstrated that the addition of wollastonite caused nearly no change in the basic structure of the coating. Coating with a substitution ratio of 25% showed high thermal stability, good cover effect, considerable moisture-proof and water resistance ability, great acidic and basic resistance, and improved performance and hardness in performance tests. Furthermore, the production cost was reduced significantly at this substitution ratio.展开更多
