Shoo fly

When wheat becomes infested with Hessian fly larvae the plant is forced to undergo a variety of physical and biochemical changes. The larvae?s saliva thins the surface of the leaf to allow the larvae to get to the liquid in the plant?s cells. A study funded by the US Department of Agriculture and published in The Plant Journal has investigated how this happens, which researchers hope will allow them to make plants more resistant.

This month's "GC Connections" addresses the effects of two overlapping tailing peaks on peak resolution and quantitation.

The introduction of a new range of capillary GC columns substantially reduces column bleed, increases inertness and offers unparalleled injection-to-injection and batch-to-batch reproducibility.

In this month's "GC Connections," John Hinshaw addresses GC components that can become contaminated, including symptoms, causes, and cleaning procedures.
