Methods for Performing Crosses in Setaria viridis, a New Model System for the Grasses

Cited by 31 •
2013
We have developed a methodology for performing crosses in Setaria viridis (S. viridis). The method involves pruning the panicle prior to a hot water treatment to kill viable pollen. Crosses are performed following a well-controlled growth regime and typically result in the recovery of 1 to 7 cross-pollinated seed/s per panicle.
FAQs
Loads travel from the suspended material through the boom and into its joints and supporting frame. This force path exposes the structure to bending and compression, while the boom’s geometry and connections determine how those forces are distributed. Engineers examine this transfer to select dimensions and materials that support the intended lifting performance and structural safety.
Cantilevered and lattice configurations represent different structural approaches to carrying lifting forces. Engineers consider how each arrangement responds to bending, compression, buckling, and dynamic loads when selecting a design. The choice affects the boom’s dimensions, load-bearing behavior, reach, and stability, so it must correspond to the crane’s operating requirements and intended workspace coverage.
Buckling analysis is important because compression can cause a structural member to become unstable even when the material has not simply failed under load. Crane boom design therefore considers compression together with bending and dynamic loading. Evaluating these effects helps engineers choose suitable dimensions and materials and supports safer operation under the expected lifting conditions.
These systems control the boom’s angle or extension, which changes how the crane positions a suspended load. Hydraulic cylinders, wire ropes, and mechanical arrangements provide different control mechanisms within the lifting system, while the boom transfers the resulting forces to the supporting frame. Their operation is therefore tied to reach, positioning, lifting performance, and stability.
Design evaluation includes bending, compression, buckling, and dynamic loads, along with the required lifting capacity, reach, and stability. Engineers use these considerations to select appropriate materials and dimensions for the boom and its supporting structure. The resulting design must also maintain safe operation while providing the workspace coverage required for the intended material-handling task.
A high-level design process begins by establishing the required lifting capacity, reach, and stability. Engineers then assess bending, compression, buckling, and dynamic loads, select suitable materials and dimensions, and integrate the boom with its joints, supporting frame, and control system. This analysis-based approach connects structural design with the crane’s operating and safety requirements.
Crane booms support lifting and material positioning in construction, manufacturing, offshore operations, and material handling. Their design determines how far the crane can reach, how much it can lift, and how effectively it can cover a working area. In engineering practice, boom configuration therefore links structural behavior with the practical demands of each application.
