Pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) is a major constraint on wheat production in Korea, reducing grain quality and end-use value. To accelerate the development of PHS-resistant cultivars with improved agronomic performance, we employed a marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach using molecular markers previously reported in the literature. For foreground selection, 81 molecular markers (74 KASP and 7 gel-based) targeting key genes...

Fine-grained intertidal sediments are typically characterized by low hydraulic conductivity and high nutrient loads, conditions that hinder biogeochemical recovery and exacerbate eutrophication. This study examined the feasibility of calcium-rich steel slag (SS) as a multifunctional capping material for improving both physical and chemical properties of cohesive sediments. Short-term (24 h) column experiments with two slag dos...
