Drainage and salinity problems on the Valley’s West side were exacerbated by the construction of the San Luis Unit.The San Luis Unit authorized by the Luis Act of 1960 is part of both the federal Central Valley Project and the State Water Project.The primary purpose of the San Luis Unit was to supply irrigation water for …

The same authors also showed that, while development of wireless networks has focused mostly on integrating sensor technologies, there is limited research done on integrating control systems with sensor data acquisition, aimed at automating smart valve systems at the plant or tree scale.Much of this is required for advanced PI systems, allowing for high resolution …
It is estimated that the area of salinized soils is expanding with a rate of about 1.0–2.0Mha/year.However, recent data are scarce, and reported data are greatly outdated.As freshwater resources become more scarce, alternative irrigation waters are tapped into, further threatening soil degradation in many arid regions.Furthermore, climatic change is causing sea level rise and more …
By examining how researchers, experts, and officials frame and design their projects and set up responses to problems, anthropology can open up new spaces for insight into the complexities of environmental politics, and the idea of islands by design helps me to do that in the purposefully particular place that is The Bahamas today.Bagged greens …

Given that JEDI–PDF genes are JA-inducible, this signaling molecule may also be important for the induction of basal defense against Hpa. No other studies on silencing or disruption of the JEDI–PDF genes have been reported on in the literature. Future studies will have to address this possibility. A set of RNAi transgenic lines was developed which can …

One possible explanation was that the experimental conditions varied between the assays for basal defense and DCA-mediated immunity. In contrast to the analysis of DCA-mediated immunity , there was no pre-treatment with compound or mock solution before being sprayed with pathogen in the basal defense assays . It was observed in other experiments that this type …
Several transcription factors were differentially expressed in this study. GO enrichment showed the molecular function GO term ‘DNA-binding transcription factor activity’ was significantly enriched. In addition to the MYB77 transcription factor gene described earlier, a GRAS transcription factor gene, HAM3, was DE in this study. GRAS transcription factors were previously found to play a role …
In their findings, as root biomass increased beyond a certain threshold it negatively impacted grain yields, perhaps due to increased costs of maintaining a large root system. This point appears worthy of detailed study as it may point to which root system traits will be beneficial in a given environment and how they might impact …

Cultivars Sonora, Foisy, and Chiddam Blanc de Mars were selected. The primary criterion was the total root biomass with Sonora ranked among the highest, Foisy was intermediate, and CBdeM had a low total root biomass. Additionally, the three also have other contrasting phenotypes for traits such as drought tolerance, plant height, days to heading, awn type, …

Food is a powerful frame through which to make the climate change problem more concrete and “close to home,” as it implies both a social and essential daily activity. The garden, meanwhile, provides a useful metaphor for the complex global climate system. The curriculum directly connects climate science to community and local action in the …
